Dear Friend,
Greetings in the matchless name of Jesus!
I want you to know how deeply I value and appreciate you. I am passionate about seeing you prosper in every area of your life—spirit, soul, and body (1 Thessalonians 5:23).
I have two questions that will help you fulfill your God-given potential:
Question #1: Are you working on a personal God-given FAITH PROJECT and moving the mountains that stand in your way until it manifests, as described in Mark 11:23-24?
Faith requires us to pray, and then consistently proclaim and believe we have received what we have asked for, until it manifests. Whatever you are praying for—whether it is healing, finances, a ministry project, or something else—are you standing firm on God’s Word, even when your body, emotions, or circumstances suggest otherwise?
Boldly proclaim the Word of God, even in the face of opposition: “I believe I’m healed” or “I believe my bills are paid.” We are to walk by faith, not by sight, no matter how long it takes. When you say you “believe you’ve received,” you are declaring that, even though it has not yet manifested, your answer to your prayer already exists in the heavenly realm and is on its way. Once your prayers are answered, move on to the next FAITH PROJECT, because the just live by faith and faith is what pleases God (Romans 1:17; Hebrews 11:6).
Question #2: Are you doing what you were created to do?
You have been ordained by God for a unique purpose. In the 11th Chapter of the Gospel of Mark, Jesus was hungry and encountered an unusual fig tree. Though it was not the season for figs, this tree was in full bloom with leaves, which revealed that it should have been bearing fruit. Thus, it gave the appearance of bearing fruit but had none.

Jesus responded by saying, “Let no one eat fruit from you ever again!” Fig trees, palm trees, and olive trees often represent the Nation of Israel in scripture. This tree, like the religious system of the time, was expected to bear fruit by recognizing and acknowledging that Jesus was their promised Messiah, the Son of God. The leaders failed to do so and rejected Jesus. Like the fig tree, we are created to bear fruit to the glory of our Lord, Jesus. When we fail to fulfill His purpose in our lives, it’s more than just a missed opportunity—it’s sin. As believers, we are “trees” submitted to Jesus, Him being our Tree of life!
So, stay faithful, child of God! Remember, doubt in our hearts is the only thing that can prevent us from moving mountains. That is why we must be cautious with our words and cast down thoughts that are not in line with God’s Word (2 Corinthians 10:3-5). Death and life are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21). The Hebrew word for “power” here means “hand” or “grip.” I challenge you: For what are you grasping? Are you contending for the faith by praying, believing, and declaring what you have prayed for until it manifests?
My latest teaching on this subject, How Faith Works, will empower you to say what God says and show you how to align your confession of faith with God’s Word. This series is yours as a love gift in support of this ministry.
Speak God’s Word over your circumstances! Stop saying what you have been saying and start saying what God says. I promise you, if you start to live by faith based on God’s Word, your best days are ahead!
In the Service of the King,

PS: Child of God, dare to speak to the fig trees in your life, using the God kind of faith, and watch what happens. The manifestation of your faith will cause you to experience unspeakable joy and fullness of glory!
