Start Speaking Faith Words.
And your mountain will move.
Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.Matthew 12:34-35
Words won’t work without faith any more than faith will work without words! It takes them both to put the law of faith in motion.
Many believers don’t realize that. They’ll continually speak words of doubt and unbelief, then they’ll jump up one day and say a couple of faith words and expect mountains to move– and to their dismay, they don’t.
Why not?
Because as Matthew 12:34-35 says, it’s the words that come from the heart that produce results. The person who just throws in a couple of faith words now and then isn’t speaking them from the abundance of his heart, so they’re not effective.
Does that mean you shouldn’t start speaking words of faith until you’re sure you have the faith to back them?
No! Speaking words of faith is good spiritual exercise. If you want to receive healing by faith, for example, fasten your mind and your mouth on the Word of God where your health is concerned. Instead of talking about how miserable you feel, quote Isaiah 53:5. Say, “Jesus was wounded for my transgressions. He was bruised for my iniquities. The chastisement of my peace was upon Him; and with His stripes, praise God, I was healed!”
If you’ll continue to meditate on those words and continue to say them, the truth in them will begin to sink in. They’ll take root in your heart and begin to grow. And eventually you really will be speaking from the abundance of your heart.
When that happens, it won’t matter what the circumstances look like. You’ll know you have what you’ve been believing for and the devil himself won’t be able to talk you out of it. You’ll cross the line from hope to faith, and you’ll start seeing those mountains move!

MESSAGE 1
The Veil Shall Be Taken Away.
But even unto this Day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart. Nevertheless it shall turn to The Lord, the Veil shall be taken away, now The Lord is that spirit: and where the spirit of God is, there is liberty.
2 Corinthians 3:15-17.
When men don't understand the Word of God, it's because there is a veil covering their hearts. It is like what happened with the law of Moses in the Old Testament: the children of Israel could not see the glory beyond the veil. Our opening verse tells us that even until this day, when "Moses" the "Law", is read, that 'Veil' is still present; it is only taken away in Christ. In other words, when you receive Salvation in accordance with Romans 10:9, the Lordship of Jesus destroys the power of darkness over your life and took away the veil covering your heart.
At the new birth you were catapulted in to the kingdom of Light; the Kingdom of God's dear Son.
Colossians 1:12-13 says, "Giving thanks unto the father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us in to the kingdom of a His dear Son".
The Holy Spirit accomplishes this in your life when He baptised you into Christ: "For by one Spirit are we all baptised into one Body...." (1Corinthians 12:13); that body is Christ. Christ is 'Light'; so upon the New Birth, the Holy Spirit baptised you in to the "Light", and You became awakened to the Fatherhood of God. Thus was the VEIL removed from your heart to walk in the Light of God, and understand spiritual realities.

Message 2
The Epignosis Of Him
According as His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue
(2 Peter 1:3)
The word 'knowledge' in the verse above is the Greek "Epignosis", and it means exact or precise knowledge; full knowledge with intimacy. It means full comprehension, recognition, or perception; to become fully acquainted with God. This is the knowledge He seeks for us to have of Him. Our opening verse says, we have been called to glory and virtue; that means: a life of glory, honour, dignity and excellence; but notice how thus life works: it is through the knowledge-"Epignosis" of Him.
The Holy Spirit, through Apostle Paul, shows us how to get this knowledge of God in his prayers to the church: "that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him: the eyes of your understanding being enlightened....." (Ephesians 1:17-18). What does this mean?
He is saying that as you get to know God through this kind of special relationship or acquaintance, He will grant you insight in to reality. Yes, God has appointed you to a life of honour, dignity and excellence, but as you learn about Him, as you meditate on the Word, secrets about this life and how to walk in the reality of it are unveiled to you.
It reminds me of yet another powerful truth in 2 Peter 1:2: "Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of a Jesus our Lord".
Again, the word translated knowledge here is "Epignosis". So, in addition to a life of honour, dignity, and excellence, Grace and peace can be multiplied in your life as you meditate on the Word of God.
