What You Say Is What You Get

MARK 11:23 NKJ
23 "For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says
to this mountain, `Be removed and be cast into
the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but
believes that those things he says will come to
pass, he will have whatever he says.

Jesus said that you will have whatever you say -- dependent on believing and not doubting. Think of that. What you say determines what you get in life. It did for the children of Israel. And the Bible says the things which happened to them are lessons for us.

NUMBERS 14:28 NKJ
28 "Say to them, `As I live,' says the Lord, `just
as you have spoken in My hearing, so I will do
to you:

PROVERBS 6:2 NKJ
2 you are snared by the words of your own
mouth; you are taken by the words of your
mouth.

Words can get you in trouble. And words can deliver you (see Revelation 12:11 and Romans 10:10). Words control your destiny.

All of us face trouble in life and it can sometimes be tempting to wonder why God does not help us sooner and in greater measure. While there is much that we don't understand, we must, on the basis of what Jesus said, realize we are responsible for what happens because of the words we have spoken.
