Kenneth Hagin’s timeless message reveals the power of words in faith—reminding us that what we speak is what we will see. Kenneth Hagin, often called the father of the modern faith movement, taught a powerful principle that continues to change lives: what you speak is what you’ll see in your life. This truth is not new—it’s rooted in the Word of God. But many believers overlook it, not realizing that their words are shaping their world every single day.
Words Are Seeds
Proverbs 18:21 says, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.”
Your words are not empty—they’re seeds. Just as a farmer plants a seed and expects a harvest, your words go into the soil of your life and will eventually produce fruit. If you keep speaking fear, lack, or defeat, that’s the harvest you will reap. But if you fill your mouth with God’s promises, you will see His Word come alive in your circumstances.
Jesus and the Fig Tree
Kenneth Hagin often pointed to Jesus’ teaching in Mark 11:23:
“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.”
Notice Jesus didn’t say you’ll have what you think or what you wish. He said, you’ll have what you SAY. Your mountain—whether it’s sickness, debt, fear, or broken relationships—will respond to the faith-filled words you release.
Faith Speaks the Word
Faith is not silent. Faith has a voice, and it agrees with God. Romans 10:10 reminds us, “For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
Kenneth Hagin used to say, “Confession brings possession.” What you boldly declare from God’s Word sets the course of your life. If you need healing, speak healing scriptures. If you’re believing for provision, declare God’s promises of abundance. If you need peace, confess His peace over your mind.
Guarding Your Mouth
It’s not enough to speak faith sometimes and doubt at other times. James 3 compares the tongue to a rudder—it sets the direction for the whole ship. If you let your mouth run wild with negativity, you’ll steer your life into storms. But if you consistently align your speech with the Word of God, you’ll stay on course.
Put It Into Practice
Here are some simple steps to start walking in this truth:
- Identify areas where you’ve been speaking fear, doubt, or lack.
- Find scriptures that promise the opposite—God’s truth about your situation.
- Write down daily confessions and speak them out loud, not just once but continually.
- Catch yourself when negative words try to slip out. Replace them immediately with God’s Word.
Final Thoughts
Kenneth Hagin’s message is as true today as it was when he preached it: You can have what you say—if you believe it in your heart and confess it with your mouth. Your words carry power. Choose life. Choose faith. Choose to speak God’s Word, and you will see His promises come to pass in your life.
