He Said It and He Meant It!
As our friend Shirlie called to her granddaughter "Hello precious". That is what the Lord said He is calling you! In Scripture, He doesn't just call you “precious” the way we might in everyday language. In the scriptures He calls you “beloved.” It’s pretty much the same heart behind it: you are not forgotten, you are not forsaken, and He is not turning His back on you. Let that land into you today.
And because He is faithful, because He keeps every promise, we can live with courage. Even if the fullness of His promise is not always synchronized to your preferred calendar, there is often a pattern repeating right in the middle of your present moment. His Word is not random. It repeats. It builds. It trains.
The authority you are looking for starts with faith
A lot of people show up on our live calls expecting one thing: to be trained in and to experience signs, wonders, and miracles. I love that expectation. But here is the key that can change everything. The essence of authority does not begin with your intensity or your ability to “perform" or even my ability to teach; It begins with Your faith in God!
Faith begins the moment you choose thanksgiving instead of complaining. Faith begins when you decide to believe God for who He is, not just for what you wish would happen. And the practical outworking of faith is simple but not always easy: when you read the Word, you come to the place where you say, “He said it. He meant it.”
He never said anything He didn’t mean. So we do not treat Scripture like inspiration only. We treat it like instruction.
Faith is taking what God said and applying it; doing what God said.
He meant it, so you can stand on it
Here is the foundation beneath releasing miracles. It is not magic. It is not a trick formula. It is righteousness connected to faith. Abraham is counted as righteous because he believed God and acted on it.
Let your own name fit in as you make these declarations:
- I have been counted as righteous because of my faith.
- My faith has been evidenced because I moved in the power and the words of God.
- I move by faith, not by feeling.
- I move by faith, not by sight.
- I respond by faith, not by circumstance.
Many people get encouraged by hearing the Word. The difference between the church at large and a living remnant is what happens next.
An ecclesia does not only listen. It obeys. A remnant grabs hold of the Word and simply does what it is instructed.
Words are seeds. Every word you speak produces after its own kind
This is where everything connects. The Lord keeps returning me to one principle again and again: every word you speak is a seed. Every seed produces after its own kind.
You cannot separate what you say from what you harvest. The enemy tries to bait you into reacting. He wants your mouth to keep planting seeds you never intended to grow.
Think about it. If someone grieves you and you respond with bitterness, you are planting bitterness. And bitterness grows bitterness.
That is why Jesus says to bless those who curse you and pray for those who spitefully use you. It is not because wrongs do not matter. It is because the response you choose will determine the outcome you harvest. And the offender will harvest what they sowed. Let God sort it out. Forgive and move on.... planting what you want as you go!
Seed time and harvest is not instant, and that is okay
The Scripture does not guarantee “instant” timing. It guarantees harvest based on seed. In agriculture, you plant and wait. There is always delay between planting time and harvest time.
Spiritually, the same is true. Not every prayer happens in twenty seconds. Sometimes the word is planted, and the fruit appears progressively. Do not mistake delay for denial.
Forgiveness is not optional. It protects your harvest
The enemy’s strategy is offense. He wants bitterness to settle into you. Then bitterness starts influencing your language, and your language starts determining your harvest.
If you want blessing, you have to learn to bless with sincerity. It cannot be pretend. It has to come from your heart as a decision to obey God.
In practical terms, this is what forgiveness does:
- It breaks the spirit of offense.
- It helps your mouth speak blessing instead of curses.
- It keeps you from producing the harvest of retaliation, hurt and disempowerment.
Forgiveness does not excuse wrongdoing. It protects you from becoming the next link in the chain of bitterness. There are consequences for actions, but you are called to guard your own response so you can reap what God promised.
Jesus drove things out, and He taught us to do the same
In Mark 11, Jesus goes into the temple and drives out people doing business that profaned what was meant to be holy. He is not passive. He is not “nice” when righteousness is being violated.
There is a point here for your life and your spiritual posture: faith is bold. Bold faith refuses to tolerate evil and refuses to tolerate off-script living.
Jesus expects His followers to do what He did. “These things that you have seen Me do, you also will do.” That does not just apply to private moments. It applies to spiritual authority, to intercession, and to standing your ground against what would steal your blessing.
The fig tree lesson: the word goes forward, even when results take time
Jesus cursed a fig tree that was not bearing fruit. The disciples noticed later that it had withered. Notice the detail: it did not collapse immediately in their sight the moment Jesus spoke. They observed it a day later.
That matters for your expectations.
- Sometimes the word starts working immediately, but you do not see it yet.
- Sometimes it manifests progressively, not instantly.
- Faith keeps moving even while outcomes are delayed.
Jesus also said, “Have faith in God.” Then He gave a picture so strong it cannot be ignored: you can speak to a mountain, and it will be removed, if you believe and do not doubt.
The key is believing you will get what you say. Not because you are the source, but because Jesus is. He is the Word. When He speaks, His words carry authority. When you align with His promises through faith and obedience, His word becomes your declaration.
“You get what you say” from a God-who-means-it perspective
There is a dangerous way to read this. Some people turn it into a self-centered “name it and claim it” mindset. But the message here is not ego. It is alignment.
If God is the kind of Father who speaks and establishes, and if you are learning to speak the Word back to circumstances, then you are partnering with heaven. That is why the principle can be stated like this: What God gets established, faith gets access to.
And yes, Jesus said it plainly: you can pray and command, but you must believe. You must also cooperate with the conditions He attached, including forgiveness.
Praying for people and nations: the same principle, different scope
This is a governmental call. Not just “private spirituality.” There is a call to reign and rule, to intercede, to repent where the Spirit leads, and to speak promises over assignments.
The message emphasized that praying for individuals and praying for nations can follow the same spiritual logic:
- Decree what God’s Word says
- Believe with no doubt
- Forgive so bitterness does not sabotage your mouth
- Stand until you see the fruit
The goal is not to obsess over every headline. The goal is to stay planted in your Goshen, to keep your mouth aligned, and to call forth righteous harvest speaking into your atmosphere.
A practical faith rhythm: left foot, right foot
One of the most memorable parts of the teaching was the simple rhythm: faith is your step forward. The result is your next step. You do not wait for the result before you move. You move in faith first. Then you expect the fruit.
That is how you stop living in fear of whether something will “work.” Faith is not tension. Faith is trust backed by obedience.
What to do tomorrow morning
If you want this to become more than a good message, make it a daily practice. Here is a clean starting point.
- Start with thanksgiving. Thank God for who He is. Do not begin with complaint.
- Confess God’s Word like instruction. “He said it and He meant it.”
- Guard your mouth. If you realize you spoke negativity, repent quickly and reset.
- Forgive immediately. Offense steals harvest time.
- Keep moving even if results are delayed. Delay does not mean failure.
When you do these things, you are not just “hoping.” You are sowing righteous seed into your future.

Keep your eyes on the Lord. Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who spitefully use you. Refuse the bait. Refuse the trap. And remember: as long as the earth remains, there will be seed time and harvest.
