"Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." Mark 11:23,24, ESV

When you feel you're in the midst of mass uncertainty, severe pain, impossible situations, physically speaking to your problems is probably the furthest thing from your mind.  And it's likely because you've not been used to speaking out during those times when life is peachy.

We live in a fallen world, it's inevitable that you're going to come up against something that's less than perfect, so put that mustard-seed faith to work in every situation that isn't exactly as it should be.  If you wait until you come up against something really big, you'll be out of shape and un-prepared.

For what you speak to reflect an overflow of a heart filled with an abundance of God's love and grace (Matthew 12:34), walk closely with Him, speak with Him, and speak with His people. That way when you tell your problems Who's really important in your life, you're not actually trying to convince yourself as much as you are trying to convince the problem!  When you're sure when you speak, nothing can stand in your way.

If you've not already done so, I recommend listening to our podcasts which form the basis of most of the posts on this blog. You can find links on our website, or by searching for "Exchange Church Belfast" in iTunes, the iOS App store or Android app market.

"...nothing will be too much for you. This mountain, for instance: Just say, 'Go jump in the lake' - no shuffling or shilly-shallying - and it's as good as done. That's why I urge you to pray for absolutely everything, ranging from small to large. Include everything as you embrace this God-life, and you'll get God's everything." Mark 11:23,24, MSG
