"Speak the Word and Go Your Way"

And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: and seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find anything thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter forever. —Mark 11:12-14

Jesus came to a fig tree looking for fruit, but there was no fruit. So He cursed the fig tree and just walked away. We can learn a faith lesson here. Although the tree didn't change immediately, Jesus didn't wonder whether His words had worked. He just walked away in faith knowing His words were working. When they returned from Jerusalem the next day, His disciples said, "Master, the fig tree you cursed is withered away! It died from the roots!" (v. 21.) Of course! Second Corinthians 5:7 says, "For we walk by faith, not by sight." You see, it didn't matter what Jesus saw. It was what He believed that made the difference. That's the very basis of faith. Faith is walking by what God says instead of what you see—because what God says will change what you see! Faith is placing your confidence in the truth. Romans 3:4 says, "Yea, let God be true, but every man a liar…." In John 17:17 Jesus says, "Thy word is truth." The only real truth we find in this world is the Word of God, and it takes precedence above experiences, opinions, or doctrines. Speak words of faith, and your words will surely come to pass.

Confession: I speak in faith over my body and call myself healed, whole, well, strong, and victorious.
