Language is one of the distinguishing features of human beings. Someone wrote: “The tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.” (Jas. 3: 5-6) In the Biblical account of Creation, in each of the separate “days” we have the phrase: “And God said… and it was so.” We find it difficult to conceive that words have such power, yet when Jesus was on earth He said: “I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” (Matthew 17: 20) On one occasion, he dramatically proved his point the stopping a violent storm which threatened to drown him and his companions with a simple command: “Peace! Be Still!” Notice His combination between words and faith. For words to become as powerful as He claims, they must be combined with faith in the Prime Mover. It’s He who will move the mountain, not simply what we say!
