Chapter 1

Speaking Things Into Existence

The Lord gave me insight on the subject of how Christians should talk. He never gives truths all at once because we can't take it. So He began teaching me on this subject nearly twenty years ago. I had just come out of a denominational church, and I had no idea what He was talking about.

I knew God had called me to teach the Bible. But He shocked me when He revealed Himself to me one day, and instructed me, "Norvel, I want you to start teaching the church—my children— how to talk." I didn't know what He meant.

Seeing Heaven

I have received a glimpse of heaven twice. I haven't seen all of it, but God has given me a glimpse twice. I have seen enough to know that most Christians will be astounded when they get to heaven. At that moment the truth will be undeniably apparent because the Bible means what it says—all the promises are ours. God promises several hundred things in the Bible. Just think: There are hundreds of promises that belong to us, and yet we stumble around trying to get a small headache healed.

All the promises belong to the believing Christian. Whether we receive them or not is our choice. We may want the promises, but we have to come God's way to get them.

There is no question that God wants to heal believers. This is one of the promises that belongs to us. Many Christians believe that Jesus could heal them if He wanted to. The great news is that He wants to. And He wants to do it now! But the question is, how do we get our healing? It has to do with what God taught me. It has to do with learning how to talk.

Don't Talk About the Mountains

That day, as the Lord instructed me in this area, he said, "I told My children in My Word that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed... (Mark 11:23). But my children don't obey that. They don't talk to the mountain. They want to talk to me about their mountains. This is unscriptural."

God doesn't want to talk to us about our mountains. He doesn't have anything to do with the mountains anyway. God doesn't have anything to do with our diseases. He didn't put disease, or any other type of affliction, upon human beings. Christians must be aware that if anything comes to bring harm, it does not come from God. God does not put things on us to cause us harm. He is a loving and gracious God.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

James 1:17

This verse in James explains that only good things come from God. Good things come down from heaven. Heaven is another world where God lives. Heaven is a world where there is no sickness, there is no blindness, there is no flu, there are no Confession Brings Possession bad colds. Heaven is a world of perfection.

If heaven is a world of perfection, and we have been born again by the blood of Jesus, and by the Spirit of God, then our names are written in heaven. We are citizens of that heavenly world.

Heaven is another world. It is the only real world there is. All the other planets, all the other worlds, came down out of heaven by the mouth of God. God spoke planets, stars, suns and moons into existence. God speaks things into existence. The whole universe came about because God spoke it into existence. If Christians are ever going to have anything, they will need to speak things into existence, or they will not have them.

We may have some things, but I am talking about big things—things such as healing and financial miracles. We have some things simply by the process of natural learning, because we are natural human beings living in a natural world. But we have a spirit living inside our natural bodies, which has been reborn by the Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit of God lives inside our natural bodies. He wants us to have His divine nature (2 Peter 1:4), and this includes learning to do things His way— the way He instructs in His Word.

"I want you to teach my children how to talk," God said to me. "They won't talk to the mountains. They want to talk to me about their mountains. I have said to them, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed...."

Whosoever means any person. Anyone can say, "Cancer! Hey, Cancer, I am talking to you. You can't kill me. I command you, in the name of Jesus, remove yourself from me, Cancer. Hey, Cancer! You must go!" You have to talk so the cancer can hear you.

I hear people say, "We prayed, we believed and he still died." You prayed? What about the person with cancer? Did he speak to his mountain?

Churches Enjoy What the Preacher Speaks

If you are in need of a physical miracle, if you are in a life and death situation, you need to go to a church where the pastor believes in healing.

Every preacher gets what comes out of his mouth, in the same way that God gets what comes out of His mouth. Every church, every congregation, enjoys everything that comes out of the pastor's mouth. You may need to check up on your pastor. What he preaches is most likely what you are going to get from God, because most people who go to church believe what their pastor says.

If you have a bad liver, and your pastor believes that God will heal "some people some of the time," then you might as well find another church. If you don't, you will die. If your preacher preaches that God heals "some of the people some of the time," then the devil will always tell you that you just happen to be the one who is not in His will to heal. You cannot leave loopholes for the devil to add "if's" and "but's" and "maybe's." Believing in God's Word means that there is no more wondering because you either believe it, or you don't believe it. There is no in between.

Chapter 2

First Things First

Once a person accepts Jesus and repents, the Holy Spirit comes in to abide with that person forever. The Lord will never leave you nor forsake you. (Heb. 13:5.) What He wants to do is sup with you, and you with Him all the time. (Rev. 3:20.) God's number one motivation is not to make you rich, not to heal your body, not to give you a miracle. God's number one consuming fire and desire within Him is to have a relationship with each of His children. God wants you to repent of your sins and to accept His Son, Jesus, as your personal savior so you can dwell together forever.

If any cancer patient or lupus patient will kneel down—not because they have to be coached or told to, but on their own—and freely worship God, they will not die of that disease. But many churches are not teaching Christians how to worship the Lord. I went to church all my life, and no one ever taught me to worship God.

The three Hebrew children were delivered from the fiery furnace because they refused to bow their knee to a false god. (Dan. 3.) And if you will just worship God each morning without asking the Lord anything, He will deliver you. Worship Him first.

Understand that Jesus is not simply a "give me" Jesus. It is true that the Lord will supply all your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Phil. 4:19). But He is not just a "give me" Jesus. He is a God Who wants to be worshipped first of all. Christians need to learn to put first things first. Return to your first love (Rev. 2:4), and learn to worship Him.

It is very simple to learn to worship the Lord. Kneel down and tell Him you love Him. Or tell Him while you are lying in your bed before you arise each morning, or when you are taking a shower. Just lift your hands and worship Him. Do you ask Him for anything? No. Just worship Him. You can ask for things after you worship Him.

My ministry is involved in programs that feed people. I believe in feeding programs. In fact, I believe feeding programs should begin at home, in our nation. I am not too keen on feeding program ministries that are set up to feed people in another nation while people in their own home town are starving to death. We need to be faithful to those in our own home town—to reach out to those who have no one to help them.

I was praying one day about our feeding program and the Lord said to me, "Not one human being since Adam was created—not one—has ever starved to death while they were worshipping and serving me. When the people bowed down and worshipped me, the rains came, and the fruit came and the grain fields flourished. The curse was lifted off their ground."

If the people of Ethiopia, where thousands and thousands of people have starved to death, would turn their hearts to God, He would bless their land. Years ago, they loved the Lord. Years ago, the people of Ethiopia would walk all the way to Jerusalem to worship God. The heart of God goes out to a people who will sacrifice to worship Him.

In the book of Acts, chapter 8, an angel spoke to Philip and directed him to go to Gaza in the desert. And there, riding in a chariot, was an eunuch who served under Candace, the queen of Ethiopia. As he was traveling along, he was reading the Scriptures out of the book of Isaiah. The Bible says, this eunuch had come to Jerusalem to worship. Although he didn't fully understand the scripture, he knew enough to worship and read the Bible. He knew that was the right thing to do.

When Philip asked the eunuch if he understood the Scriptures, the eunuch answered, "How can I, except some man should guide me?" So Philip climbed up into the chariot and explained fully to the eunuch about Jesus and the plan of salvation. The eunuch spoke with his mouth that he believed in Jesus Christ as the Son of God. The explanation was so clear that when they passed a body of water, the eunuch was ready to be baptized. When they came out of the water, Philip disappeared. The Lord had translated him to another city. Both of these men obeyed God. It is amazing what God will do for those who obey and worship Him.

We can't go around trying to make God fit our approach to Him. We must study the Bible and learn how we can please the Lord. Ask yourself, "What can I do to please the Lord Jesus Christ?" You belong to Jesus now, you don't belong to the devil any longer, so study the Bible to see what you can do to please Him.

You will find out first of all that you can please Him by worshipping Him. You can learn that from the Ten Commandments. (Ex. 20.) The Word tells us we are to love Him with all our heart, mind, soul and strength. (Mark 12:30.)

Learning To Be a Giver

The next thing you will find that pleases God is for a Christian to be a giver—loving thy neighbor as thyself. (Mark 12:31.) Jesus explained that the second commandment is as important as the first.

A few years ago, God spoke to a man named Jack to pay his own expenses and travel with my ministry for six weeks. He was to sit on the front row every service, and watch the Holy Spirit at work. He did that. He came and traveled with me, sat on the front row and listened to every word. He began to get the truth down on the inside of him. Jack wasn't hesitant to give of his time and his money to learn about the workings of the Holy Spirit.

Jack's ministry was in Cleveland, Tennessee, for about three years. He spent hours and hours ministering to the down and out, the downtrodden of society. I saw him help set people free through God's Word. I called it "God's Spiritual Hospital." Fourteen of those whom he helped, enrolled in our Bible College. Fourteen in one year.

These were beaten-down people who had no one else to help them. They needed to receive intense training.

I respect Jack's ministry. It takes a special kind of love, a special kind of giving to minister to the outcasts of society. I respect Jack because he took the time, week after week, to teach and train people no one else cared about.

Yes, helping the downtrodden people requires Speaking Things Into Existence more than prayer.

People must receive training—intense training —to learn to walk in the fullness of life that God called them to. That training calls for undivided attention, because the devil will use every trick in the book to grab a person's attention away from the Word of God.

Holly, who sings at my services, has been listening to me preach every day since she was born. You can tell she has the Word in her. I didn't give it to her. She has received it and it is down on the inside of her. After she sings, she sits right on the front row. And she does this all the time. This is why God can use her. She is anointed and called of God. She is a giver. She is willing to give of herself.

Holly can sing one simple song and the Holy Spirit begins to work in the congregation. Two years ago when we were in Honolulu, I spoke in a small church of about twenty-three people. I gave the invitation and one woman came forward. I started to pray for her and the Lord checked me. The Lord said to me, "Have Holly come and minister a song to her."

I told her, "The Holy Ghost wants you to come here and sing a song to this woman."

Anytime I ask her to do something like this, she never questions, she never hesitates. She never says a word, she just does it. She began to sing, and I watched as the Holy Spirit came over the woman and ministered to her. She was healed as she stood right there, and she sobbed and sobbed. Then the blessings she was receiving began to flow into the congregation, and touched everyone there. All because a young girl was willing to give of herself and her talents.

It is imperative that Christians learn what pleases the Father. Two areas where we can begin to please God is in our worship and in our giving.

Chapter 3

All the Promises Are Ours

...there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant.

1 Kings 8:56b

For all the promises of God in him [Jesus] are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

2 Corinthians 1:20

If you will open your mouth and claim your rights in Christ Jesus, you will live the abundant life. One afternoon when I was holding a meeting in Cleveland, Tennessee, I was in my room reading and the Lord spoke this to me, "All the promises of mine are yours. Tell the Church, Son. All the promises."

I said, "How can I get that across to them Lord? I am trying to get them to believe for a little healing. And here You are saying 'all the promises are ours'."

So why don't we have them? If God says all the promises are ours, why don't Christians have all the promises? Because we have to take them away from the devil. If you don't have enough joy in your life, you have to take it away from the devil. The Holy Ghost has joy. He can lay you out on the floor and make you laugh, and fill you full of His joy.

These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your j oy might be full.

John 15:11

We Can't Judge God

And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

Matthew 21:22

This little verse will destroy most church doctrine. Does the Lord really mean we can have all things we ask for in prayer? "But Norvel, I know someone who believed and believed, and didn't get it."

There is no such thing as believing for something and not receiving it from God. There never was. If you believe it is possible to believe and not receive, then you don't understand the Scripture in the first place. You have been fooled along with everyone else who fails to receive what they ask from God.

People say, "We prayed, we believed and the Lord didn't do it." No human being in creation has ever believed God for something and didn't get it.

You can't judge God, and you can't judge the Word by what happened to someone you know. We are not smart enough to judge God. When God says it, simply believe it. God said if you believe it, you will receive it.

If you want to be healed, the Lord has healing power. That is one of His promises. His healing power is yours. The Lord wants to keep that healing power surging through your body by what you say.

What should you do if you have been prayed for to be healed? You should say, "Thank You, Jesus, for healing me. I just want to confess that You are my own personal Healer and I know You are healing me now."

When you confess that the Lord is healing you now—He is! If you don't say He is healing you now —He isn't.

You can get the healing power flowing through your body for a short period of time if the anointing comes on someone and it flows into you. But even after that, you must say, "Thank You, Lord, for healing me. Thank You that Your healing power is flowing throughout my whole body, in Jesus' name."

The key is to continually say these things with your mouth. Continue to speak into existence what you need.

Chapter 4

Speak to the Mountain

When the Lord told me to teach His people how to talk, I didn't know myself what He meant. I said, "What do you mean, 'Teach your people how to talk'?"

He said, "Did you ever hear anyone hold a conversation with the flu?"

I said, "No, Lord. I never heard anyone hold a conversation with the flu. I never heard anyone hold a conversation with cancer. I never heard anyone hold a conversation with a bad liver. I never heard anyone hold a conversation with their mountains."

The Lord told me that the things that are wrong with Christians are their mountains, whether it be diseases or afflictions of any kind. Perhaps you have been searching for your healing for a long time, wondering how you can get God to heal you. You can learn how to do it God's way. You can be healed by speaking to your mountains

Confession Brings Possession —by telling them to be removed.

It Isn't Working

A few years ago, I was teaching at a Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship in Indianapolis, Indiana. I had taught an afternoon session for one of their conventions. When I finished with the teaching, I closed my Bible and walked out of the auditorium. I had just walked out of the ballroom and was going down the hall toward the lobby. I heard a woman behind me say, "Mr. Hayes, I don't believe what you teach."

I stopped and turned around. There stood a neatly dressed, middle-aged lady. I answered, "Oh, really?"

"I don't believe what you teach," she repeated, "because it isn't true."

"I tell you what, my sister," I said to her. "Let's make a deal. If you will tell me what I taught this afternoon that wasn't in the Bible, first of all, I will apologize to God. Then, tomorrow afternoon, I will apologize to the entire convention when I teach. I will tell everyone there that I am very sorry. Then I will apologize to you and tell you that I am sorry. Because God called me to teach the Bible and that is what I do." Then I asked her to tell me what part of the teaching I had given that afternoon was not in the Bible.

She stammered a moment, and said, "I don't know."

I said, "You don't know? You have stopped me and made this bold statement and now you don't know?"

She answered, "Well, what I mean is, the things you teach don't work."

I responded, "So, now you are saying you are not sure whether or not it is from the Bible, but you are saying it doesn't work. If that is so, then you are saying the Bible doesn't work."

This seemed to upset her even more. Finally, she was able to explain why she was saying these things to me. It was because her husband had died at the age of forty-one from cancer. She said, "We prayed, and many other people prayed. We all believed for him to receive his healing, and he even believed the Lord was going to heal him. Right up until the moment he took his last breath, he believed God for his healing, but he died."

After a pause, she looked at me and added, "That's the reason I don't believe what you preach."

Flag Her Down

As she said that, the Lord spoke to my spirit and said, "Flag her down—she is on the wrong road. Flag her down with the truth from the Scriptures."

There are many Christians who have afflictions and diseases, or are buffeted with things God did not intend them to have. This does not mean they aren't good Christians. It simply means they are on the wrong road. They need to be flagged down and directed to the right road. If I can show them the road of truth, it will change their lives.

Notice the lady who stopped me after the meeting kept saying they believed the Lord was going to heal her husband. But the truth is, God is not going to heal anyone. So her belief was unscriptural. When your belief is unscriptural, then you don't get God's attention. You can pray and pray, but He won't do anything.

The Lord is not going to heal anyone. The Lord has already healed you. Jesus has the stripes on His back to prove He paid the price. It is up to every Christian to accept Jesus as the Healer. You must talk like He is your Healer, and talk like He is healing you now. That is the responsibility of every believer.

Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

1 Peter 2:24

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

Isaiah 53:5

A prayer that says, "I am trying to believe in a way that I can get God to make up His mind to have enough mercy to come in this room and heal this person," is unscriptural and will get no results.

The Lord instructed me to flag this lady down because she was on the wrong road. I asked her if she had her Bible with her. She did. I said, "Open your Bible to Mark 11:23." After she had located the Scripture, I said, "Now you believe Jesus, don't you?"

"Oh, yes, I love the Lord and I believe Jesus," she said. So I told her, "In this Scripture, Jesus is saying, For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea...." Then I said, "See? There you are."

She shook her head. "See what? I don't see anything." She had not yet made the connection between this Scripture and her husband's untimely death.

So I took her back to the last four words of verse 22 where Jesus said, Have faith in God. Then

I asked her, "Do you know what God is to you? God is the Bible. John 1:1 tells us ...the Word was God. God was the Word, God is the Word and God will always be the Word forever and forever.

Psalm 107:20 tells us God sent his Word to heal. God gave us Jesus, and He gave us the Scriptures to heal us. When Jesus says to have faith in God, He also means for us to have faith in the Bible.

Personalizing the Scriptures

Even after pointing out these Scriptures to this lady, I could see she still didn't grasp the connection. I have learned through the years that I can teach and teach, but people will never receive permanent help unless I can get them to repeat back to me what I am teaching them. Even then, it may take days for them to comprehend the truth of the lesson. I knew this lady needed to say back to me what I was teaching her.

Finally, the Lord said to me, "Use his name, use the man's name." So I asked her, "What was your husband's name?" We will say here that it was

John Smith. I asked her if she believed the Bible was written for every believer. She assured me she did. "If you believe that the Bible is for everyone, I would like to teach you how to personalize the Scriptures. I am going to read the verse again," I told her. "I will leave out some words and I will insert your husband's name instead, 'For verily I say unto John Smith, that John Smith shall say unto this cancer, be thou removed and be thou cast into the sea...'"

When I said her husband's name and the word cancer, I finally had her attention. She stepped back and looked at me with shock and surprise on her face.

"Mrs. Smith, let me ask you a question. Did you ever hear your husband talking to the cancer and saying 'Be thou removed'?" "No, sir," she said. Then she became calm. She had not been calm until that moment. She was an angry woman, and she was angry at me. Now in a soft, kind voice, she said, "No, Mr. Hayes, I never heard my husband talking to the cancer."

I said, "Do you see it? Do you see the truth in Speaking Things Into Existence this Scripture?"

She said, "Yes, I see it." Then she added, "Do you mean we were only one Scripture away from my husband's healing?"

I answered, "I am not the judge of your husband. I am not the judge of anything. God didn't make me a judge. God is the judge. God's Word doesn't need to be judged—the Word holds its own. The Word holds its own in the worst of circumstances on this earth. God's Word will speak loud and strong, with beauty and light, and with victory, under any circumstances if we have an unwavering faith. And we are asked to simply obey the words of the Lord Jesus Christ."

This dear widow began to weep. "Only one verse of Scripture and my precious husband could be living right now. Right now," she said.

Mrs. Smith was right. One verse of Scripture can save your home. One verse of Scripture can save your family. One verse of Scripture can save your life. Knowing God's Word is that important. The Bible has been given to us as a life saver. And

Jesus is the life giver. After Mrs. Smith was able to regain her composure and speak again, she was one of the sweetest women I had ever met. She asked me to forgive her and I assured her that I did forgive her.

Again I said to her, "Do you see it?" She answered, "If my husband had done that, if he had obeyed Jesus, and obeyed the Word, he would still be living, wouldn't he?"

I said, "Yes, he would. Why wouldn't he? The cancer would have had to disappear. It could not have stayed."

Cursing the Roots

This is what Jesus explained to me about my daughter, Zona, when He took me in spirit to heaven and taught me about the growths on Zona's body. I had prayed for five years and the growths had not disappeared. The Lord taught me in heaven how to pray about this.

He said, "If you will curse the roots of those growths on your daughter's body, they will die and disappear. That is, if you believe and not doubt." He said, "Now, don't doubt me, son. Don't doubt me. If you curse them in My name, and talk to them and command them 'Get off my daughter's body'; if you believe and not doubt, they will disappear." Before I left, He reminded me, "Curse the roots of them, just like I cursed the roots of the fig tree." That's why I say Matthew 21:21,22 and Mark 11:23 are my favorite Scriptures. Jesus is truth and nothing but the truth. When Jesus tells me something, I believe it.

And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away

And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!

Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.

And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

Matthew 21:19-22

For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

Mark 11:23

These Scriptures tell me I must say it. I must believe, but I must also say it.

Name It and Claim It

There are several evangelists going around the country now who are saying, "There they are: There's the 'Name It and Claim It' bunch." Personally, I would like to be the president of the "Name It and Claim It" bunch. I cast my name into the ballot box for president. I am pleased to be a member of the "Name It and Claim It" bunch.

I can prove by the Scriptures that if you don't name it, and you don't claim it, you won't receive it. And when people make light of that truth, it disturbs me.

Just because a preacher can preach a good sermon doesn't mean that a Christian should believe everything the preacher says. Just because an evangelist dresses nice and looks good doesn't mean he is preaching truth. If he makes fun of the Bible and Bible truths, you will have to pay for it. It is vital for a Christian to read the Bible and find out the truth for himself.

My admonition is that we be as smart as the old cow who has sense enough to eat the hay and leave the sticks. There are no perfect preachers. There is no perfect human except Jesus. If the preacher says something that is contrary to God's Word, just disregard it. Accept the good things he says, but if he makes light of Scriptures, which he may not understand, don't accept what he is saying. You can learn to eat the hay and leave the sticks.

So when I hear reports of people making fun of us as the "Name It and Claim It" bunch, I ignore them. And I go on obeying God's Word and speaking to the mountains and cursing the roots.

Take Inventory of Your Body

If you will say to this cancer, "Hey, Cancer, I am talking to you. Remove yourself from my body, in Jesus' name. You can't live in me. You can't kill me. You can't even stay in my body. Go into the depths of the sea, in Jesus' name!" And if you believe and doubt not, the Lord said it shall be done! Do this every day.

Of course, this doesn't just mean cancer. You can take inventory of your body. Some people may have a long list of things that are wrong with them. Take that list and make several copies. Put one in every room in the house. Several times a day speak to those afflictions and command them to be removed from your body.

After you speak to the afflictions, then thank the Lord. "Thank You, Lord, for removing the infections from my blood system. Thank You that my blood is normal in Jesus' name."

Anything that is wrong with you can be your mountain, and you must learn to speak to it. It may be that your pocketbook is empty. If there are areas in your life that are not within the abundant life that Jesus promised (John 10:10), you need to apply this teaching to that area, and do something about it.

Blessings Are Not Automatic

The blessings of God will not come upon you automatically. If you are waiting for a financial blessing, or waiting for a physical healing, you will be waiting a very long time.

Why don't you talk to the devil concerning your money if you are broke? Say, "Devil, I am supposed to be living the abundant life. Satan, I take authority over you. Jesus says I can bind you, therefore I am binding you up so you cannot come against my money. I command you to turn my money loose, in Jesus' name."

Next, you speak to the money God has for you. God has a certain portion of financial blessing for you. Why don't you speak to it so it will come

Confession Brings Possession into existence?

"I command my money to come in to me, enough to pay all my bills, and thousands and thousands of dollars left over to spread the gospel and to buy what my family needs."

Some people will only say "hundreds" of dollars, but some people won't say anything at all. Why is this, when God has help for you?

...Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

Psalm 35:27b

For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.

2 Corinthians 8:9

These Scriptures clearly show that it isn't God's will for His people to be poverty-stricken.

God intends for us to use this principle in all areas of our life. You can speak to confusion to go. "Spirit of confusion, go from me. You cannot live in my mind. Confusion, you must go from me. I command you to be removed, in Jesus' name. I am talking to you, spirit of confusion".

Confusion is not of God. First Corinthians 14:33 says, For God is not the author of confusion, but peace....

It doesn't matter what the mountain is, if it is outside the abundant life that Jesus has designed for you, command it to go. You have no business putting up with it. The few Scriptures that I have mentioned here can come against all the works of hell. Two or three Scriptures will work. You don't need to memorize the whole Bible. Just learn to speak to the mountain. Talk to it and watch it disappear. It's something you must learn to do for yourself.

Do It Yourself

Because I have been speaking to mountains for years, people want me to speak to their mountains for them. "You know how, Norvel. Please speak to my mountain for me," they say. But anything I can do, you can do! Each Christian can learn to speak

The Scripture says, ...if ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall, [you shall, you shall!].... Not me doing it for you. Not anyone else doing it for you. If you speak to your mountain, it will be removed. The Lord will stand by His Word for you, as well as He will for me. Start speaking today as the Lord would have you speak—as the child of a King that you are.

Conclusion

God wants His children to learn how to talk: to learn to speak to mountains in their lives and tell them to be removed, to curse the roots of diseases so they will die, to speak things into existence just as God does. Once Christians learn how to talk, they will have the victory and will live the abundant life that God has promised.
