1 | please explain proberbs 18:21 | Gen 1:1 | Hank | 145261 | ||
Greeting, prayon ::: Nine times in the first Chapter of the Book of Genesis we read these words, "And God said...(thus and so) followed by "and it was so." God spoke things into existence. But no where that I can find in Scripture does it teach that any of His creation, including man, can speak things into existence. No where that I can find does Scripture teach that man can make his car (or anything else) either behave itself or self-destruct by speaking the desired result into existence. Perhaps it does and I've simply missed it. Can you help? --Hank | ||||||

Greetings Hank, Boy do I feel like I opened the proverbial hornets nest! You are correct, it is not written in any certain verse. I think it is more of faith and may be considered a principle. For example, it you ask God to heal your body you don't keep saying "I'm soo sick" - you say I am healed in the name of Jesus. You speak those things that are not as if they were. In the case of the car, you can't make a car run by claiming it will but if you live by faith that it will, you will take better care of it and in the end it will last longer. You have the faith that God will provide what you are speaking in a matter of sense. Everything that happens is by God's command and God's will only, we ourselves can not change anything. It may be too that God will give us what we speak - for instance if we continually say that we are sick God may give us what we speak and we will become sick. Does this make it a little clearer what I meant to say? prayon |
