Mark 11:22-24 So Jesus answered and said to them "Have faith in God. 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 be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them."
I love this scripture because it reveals to us how faith works. Jesus says 'have faith in God.' When He explains how to do that the first thing He says is, 'whoever says to this mountain.' We see that faith begins in the mouth. Before Jesus even talks about believing or not doubting, He brings up the action of 'saying' what you want. In this scripture there are 4 'asks' & 'says' and only 2 'not doubt' and 'believes.' Let me say it again, faith begins in the mouth.
What are we believing for? I am saying that 750 people to show up to church on Easter Sunday. I am saying that we will have 20 salvations. I am saying that we are going receive the finances to build our new church building. I am saying that we are going to be a greater force of righteousness in the West Valley area. I am saying that as we are a greater light, the darkness will have no where to hide. I am saying that WVFC is saying, 'send us Lord.' We are willing to partner with you to advance the Kingdom of God in the Yakima Valley. WVFC is will to pay the price to see God's Kingdom come, God's will be done in Yakima as it is in heaven. Somebody say, 'hallelujah.'
We are Moving Forward,
