Mark 11:23
“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 come to pass, he will have whatever he says.” 
The same Jesus who said, “My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life” (See John 10:10 NLT) also made the statement contained in our Success Scripture this week. In essence, Jesus said that you will have whatever you say if you believe it in your heart.
Creating the kind of life you want starts by speaking words out of a believing heart. You are going to have whatever you believe in your heart and say with your mouth. This is the key to manifesting the promises of God and enjoying your provision in Christ. Jesus spoke these life-changing words, and He is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8).
Believing and speaking will work just as wonderfully today as it did when Jesus told His disciples, “whoever says…and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will come to pass, he will have whatever he says.” Whatever the heart believes, the mouth confesses. Believing and speaking is how you receive all of God’s promises. Believing and speaking is how you enjoy your provision in Christ. Believing and speaking is how you create the kind of life you want.
