how can the mute confess the Word?

I woke up in the middle of the night at 400am last night & this question just popped in my head, "How does the mute speak". How is he going to confess his healing, his blessings...
Immediately I turned on my computer & looked for the Greek translation for the word 'say' Pastor mentioned in Mark 11:23.

For1063 verily281 I say3004 unto you,5213 That3754 whosoever3739, 302 shall say2036 unto this5129 mountain,3735 Be thou removed,142 and2532 be thou cast906 into1519 the3588 sea;2281 and2532 shall not3361 doubt1252 in1722 his848 heart,2588 but235 shall believe4100 that3754 those things which3739 he saith3004 shall come to pass;1096 he846 shall have2071 whatsoever3739, 1437 he saith.2036
G3004 leg'-o
A primary verb; properly to "lay" forth, that is, (figuratively) relate (in words [usually of systematic or set discourse; whereas G2036 and G5346 generally refer to an individual expression or speech respectively; by implication to mean: - ask, bid, boast, call, describe, give out, name, put forth, say (-ing, on), shew, speak, tell, utter.
G2036 ep'-o
A primary verb (used only in the definite past tenseto speak or say (by word or writting): - answer, bid, bring word, call, command, grant, say (on), speak, tell. Compare G3004.


Definition from Greek Lexicon
  1. to say before
    1. to say in what precedes, to say above
    2. to say before i.e. heretofore, formerly
    3. to say beforehand i.e. before the event: prophecies


    What really caught my attention most & gave me the 'answer' was the mentioned of, 'to speak by writing.'
    The meaning of discourse mentioned in G3004 is actually a spoken or written communication between people. You see here & also used in G2036 that speech & writing is interchangeable.
    The deaf hear not, but he is able to read the writings of Jesus. The mute speak not, but they are able to write the words of Jesus.
    I did ask him once, why then ask us to write our vision down & it'll come to pass & also speak. which? (went to look at the verse with vision)...my reaction was....omg!! check it out.
    Hab 2:2 And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
    Hab 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
    This bring to rememberance a card I saw at Joan's place on her keyboard recently when I went to her place to learn. It was made abt ten years ago when she had not joined music min. It was the words of David being a talented musician written in Samuel. There were also two pics of her as a young little girl playing piano & flute. And this small 'poster' is always placed on her keyboard till today even when she practised! How the word written speaks for itself now. Amazing when I saw it. It makes me want to start writing now=)
    I love how Strong’s & Greek Lexicon explains it. A definite past tense. A prophecy. Sounds like it’s sure to happenedJ
    I love it how he shows me as I write each time. Something about writing;)

    He told me to look up the word readeth in Habakkuk 2:2 as I woke up this morning. And to my suprised, it is translated in Hebrew in BDB as:

    1) to call, call out, recite, read, cry out, proclaim
    1a) (Qal)
    1a1) to call, cry, utter a loud sound
    1a2) to call unto, cry (for help), call (with name of God)
    1a3) to proclaim
    1a4) to read aloud, read (to oneself), read
    1a5) to summon, invite, call for, call and commission, appoint, call and endow
    1a6) to call, name, give name to, call by
    1b) (Niphal)
    1b1) to call oneself
    1b2) to be called, be proclaimed, be read aloud, be summoned, be named
    1c) (Pual) to be called, be named, be called out, be chosen

    I see the word call out/forth more than read. cool eh? I always read it as 'read'.
    Write your vision down, when you see it, speak it. Surely it'll come forth in its perfect time.

    When you speak His Word, you'll never experience 'thirst'

    Wow I dunno where I should start...I hope I can finish this in half an hour.
    It was what the Lord showed me about the message Pastor preached today. I'll not elaborate on it, I presume you're from my church if you're reading this. Otherwise, you may not understand as i'll just be sharing a summary of it=)
    It was last night after I came back from the Live Recording 'I Sing Hosanna' that I saw this three words very strongly in my spirit. Water. Drink. Thrist. It was the same strong witness in my spirit as when I wrote on the post of the first & last mentioned of thirst which ties it all with this.
    It was a simple message he told me last night. 'Why aren't people drinking water(the Word) as much or as freely as they would to their natural water as they would to their body today." Even our body suffer for lack of it.
    So when Pastor expounded the scriptures on the Water from the Rock experience of the Israelites wilderness journey they took with Moses, comparing the difference at the start of the journey and at the end of it(40 years), my spirit jumped at the mentioned of these 3 specific words I receive the night before.
    The begin at (Exodus 17) and ended (Numbers20).
    Here's a short summary of Exodus 17 - It was a rod of judgement(he hit the rock), water was not abundant, silence of scripture that they drank. Numbers 20 - Rod of grace(he spoke to the rock), water was abundant, the people drank.
    When Pastor was showing us the Hebrew letter for speak(door/son - when we speak, we open up the door to the son) I kept asking god how is it related to the scripture mentioning whether they drink/not.
    Here's what I saw. Speaking = drinking water. When you speak His Word(water), you are drinking.
    In my last post I link above, I mentioned an amazing truth he opened my eyes to - Jesus never once mentioned he thirst on earth except on the cross(John 19:30)...
    Check out the difference in speech here..it blew my mind=)
    Exodus 17:3(law-hit the rock) "Why did you bring us up out of Egypt to make us and our children and lives stock die of thirst?
    Numbers 20:4(grace-speak to the rock) "Why did you bring the Lord's community into this desert, that we and our live stock should die here? (no mentioned of thirst)
    The first time, it was mentioned they would die of thrist. The rod of judgement can never quench your thirst. There was no mentioned the people drank although there was water made available to them.
    Jesus fifth word on the cross was 'I thirst' so that you and I will never die of thirst. And this is accomplished when we speak to the rock. When we declare His Word over our circumstances, you receive all that he has died to give you.
    You can no longer die of thrist when you speak His Word.
    Why thrist I asked. When you are thirsty, your body is missing out something. You have a need. When water is supply, that need is no longer there.
    When you speak His Word continually, it's like pumping your body with water. You'll never 'die of thrist'. Your meets are always met.
    I write myself happy. Apologies if this is confusing;)

    a home beyond my expectation

    I can't contain the joy that is bubbling inside me..guess writing it down is the best way to let it out=) as a reminder too of his goodness. I love reminiscing the past events when His goodness supersedes my expectation. Read only if you're into details, if not just the ones in bold;)
    It was about two weeks back that my agent told me I had to move out as my landlady is selling of the place. I was a little sad, not fully as I had never quite like staying in a noisy environment. I love the convenience here though.
    So I did what I should. Copy down the agent numbers. Do a search on the internet. Sign up for website that gave me more access to room details. I did this over & over again. Yesterday I spent the whole afternoon searching. It was so intense I needed to take a break. It was when I wanted to call it for a day, I saw an advertisement unbelievable to me.
    These were my thoughts, "It cannot be so cheap. I think PUB is not included since it has air-con. It's rundown. It's old. Many people is staying in the place..."
    It was a picture of the room I saw. It didn't look at all attractive. A double storey terrace house. The price was LOW. The lowest price I've seen in all my search as compared to all the hdb prices I saw. I called up the agent to give it a try.
    I showed my colleague the picture & she has been teasing me ever since.. "Spooky, spooky..." "If you don't see me at work tomorrow, you know where to look for me" Hehe.
    But one thing I knew was, "When I see it, I'll know that it's the house for me"
    As I got of the bus stop, I love what I saw. Greeneries. People jogging around. Serene. And as I walk up the slope, I was looking around for an old house. When she stopped at a pretty house, pretty new too, I couldn't believe my eyes. The house doesn't match what my thoughts were & the picture I saw.
    The first thing the aunty said when she saw me was, "So pretty":)..I was with my glasses on and tired after bringing my kids out the whole day for rehearsal. She just stared at me admiringly. Hehe. The one thing that got us connected and talking so much was, she's from ipoh too! And she used to stay the street just next to where my house is now.
    I love my room I saw. Plus point : away from sunlight=) This house feels like my house in Ipoh. The way the furnitures are and how it's arranged. Even the back kitchen is connected to the neighbour like the one at home. A garden is something I always wish for. She showed me her fren -a star print tortoise when I was about to leave. She invited me for a simple dinner. Oh how I love home cook food even in its simplest form. Gave me my favourite mango & it's from her own tree.
    I remember telling my fren this one day while walking around her house estate in 6th ave..I wish I could stay in a house and come out and walk around the estate to feel the night breeze. When i'm in the bus travelling pass all the houses, I would have this wish again.
    And He made it come true for me in the sweetest way.
    This was something I saw while writing. Sometimes we have so many misconception about things that we start worrying about it and even have negative thoughts. But in fact, god has already all good planned and prepared for us. My bad thoughts about the house could not change how it would turn out to be. He did not disqualify me from it. We simply receive the gift regardless of what it's said right/wrong. In fact, even if you did think negative, it'll cause you to be even more amazed when you experience it.
    The last msg my mum sent to me on Sunday & in her last lines were, "TRUSTJESUS".
    When faith & trust meets, you see Jesus working.
