Speak It By Faith Before You See It – Joseph Prince:
In his life-transforming sermon titled “Speak It By Faith Before You See It,” renowned grace preacher Joseph Prince unpacks the powerful biblical truth that faith speaks before it sees. Anchored in the Word of God, this teaching urges believers to boldly declare God’s promises—even when their reality looks completely opposite.
This isn’t about “positive thinking” or empty declarations. Joseph Prince emphasizes that speaking by faith is a supernatural principle backed by heaven, rooted in the finished work of Jesus Christ. When you speak God’s Word with confidence, you are aligning your situation with divine authority—before any change manifests in the natural.
Key Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:13 (NKJV)
“And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, ‘I believed and therefore I spoke,’ we also believe and therefore speak.”
Joseph Prince teaches that faith is not silent. Faith is vocal. If you truly believe, you will speak—even before you see.
The Power of Faith-Filled Speech
Faith Is Voice-Activated
Faith is not just believing in your heart—it must also be released through your mouth. Joseph Prince explains that many Christians are believing internally but staying silent externally, which limits their breakthroughs.
“If you want to see your miracle, healing, or provision—start by speaking God’s Word over your life,” Joseph says.
Why You Must Speak Before You See
1. God Himself Operates This Way
At creation, God didn’t wait for light to appear. He spoke it into existence.
“Then God said, ‘Let there be light’; and there was light.” —Genesis 1:3
We are made in His image. Therefore, we also create and shift things in our lives by the words we speak.
2. Speaking Aligns You With God’s Promises
When you declare healing, provision, peace, or breakthrough—even before it shows up—you are aligning your natural world with God’s supernatural reality.
“Let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’” —Joel 3:10
Not “Let the weak say, ‘I am weak.’”
3. Speaking Activates Angelic and Spiritual Movement
Your words aren’t empty when they are based on God’s promises. Joseph Prince reminds us that heaven moves on the voice of faith. Angels respond to the Word of God (Psalm 103:20).
How To Speak By Faith Before You See It
Joseph Prince gives practical steps every believer can apply:
🔹 1. Speak God’s Word Daily
Don’t just think about the promises—speak them aloud. Find scriptures that cover your need and declare them with faith.
Example:
If you’re believing for healing:
“By His stripes, I am healed.” —Isaiah 53:5
If you’re facing financial struggles:
“My God shall supply all my needs according to His riches in glory.” —Philippians 4:19
🔹 2. Don’t Speak What You See—Speak What You Believe
Faith doesn’t deny reality, but it overrides it. Joseph encourages believers to stop rehearsing the problem and start proclaiming the promise.
“You’re not ignoring the facts—you’re exalting the truth above the facts.”
🔹 3. Stay Consistent and Unwavering
Just because you don’t see results immediately doesn’t mean your words are powerless. Joseph teaches that faith speaks and keeps on speaking. Be persistent.
Faith in Action: Biblical Examples
Joseph Prince illustrates his sermon with powerful Bible examples:
Abraham – Father of Faith
Abraham was called a father of many nations before he had any children. God changed his name from Abram to Abraham (which means “father of multitudes”), showing that faith is spoken before it’s seen.
“…God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did.” —Romans 4:17
David – Speaking Victory Before the Fight
Before facing Goliath, David declared victory:
“This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand…” —1 Samuel 17:46
David spoke the result before the battle even began.
Common Hindrances to Speaking by Faith
Joseph Prince also warns believers about traps that silence or sabotage faith-filled speech:
Doubt – Waiting to see before you speak
Fear of sounding foolish – Worrying about others’ opinions
Double-mindedness – Speaking the Word one moment and negativity the next
“Guard your mouth,” Joseph says, “because life and death are in the power of the tongue.” —Proverbs 18:21
Faith Confession: Declare This Today
“I believe and therefore I speak. I speak God’s promises over my life. I call forth healing, provision, peace, and breakthrough—before I see it. My words are filled with faith, backed by heaven, and aligned with God’s perfect will. I speak it, and I will see it, in Jesus’ name. Amen.”
Closing Encouragement From Joseph Prince
Joseph ends his sermon with this powerful reminder:
“Don’t wait to see the breakthrough—speak it in advance. That’s what faith does. And when you speak in faith, you give God something to work with. Miracles are voice-activated.”
So don’t stay silent. Don’t let your situation define your confession. Start speaking by faith today, and watch God move mightily in your life.
