Words are powerful.
In Matthew where Jesus speaks to the Roman centurion, words are directly related to authority. The Centurion understood authority was expressed in the power of his words.
Jesus would often say “what do you want me to do?” to one seeking his help or healing., like the blind man Bartimaeus. Jesus wanted them to speak, put into words, what is it they wanted or needed.
It was understood that words produce faith and faith will bring what you are asking or praying for to pass.
If you are going to a church not preaching or confirming healing for example, then you may need to examine your church’s approach.
So Bartimaeus was asked by Jesus, what do you want from me? Jesus wanted Bartimaeus to speak his faith, “Master I want to see!”
Believing and speaking go together. You have to believe what you are saying in your words.
“He will have whatever he says.”
Job opened the door what he said.
And here are some verses on speaking the truth:
2 Corinthians 4:13; Proverbs 4:22; Mark 11:23; Joel 3:10; Proverbs 28:1; Psalms 27:1; 1 John 4:4; 1 Corinthians 2:14; Isaiah 53:5; Deuteronomy 28, the Blessings in the Covenant.
Speak over your home, family, your jobs, speak health, truth and all that was promised to us by the work of Jesus on the Cross
