JUST Speak It. Really?

How many times has it been said that if we want something we just need to speak it? Is that really true? God just spoke things into existence, right? Let’s look at Genesis Chapter 1.

The first verse in Genesis says, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth”. He created them by Jesus.

Ephesians 3:9

And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ

He said in verse 3 “let there be light” and there was light. In verse 6 He said let there be firmament and then in verse 7 He made the firmament. He made all things by Jesus.

John 1:1-3

1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2The same was in the beginning with God.  3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

In verses 9-12 He “said”,  however in Genesis Chapter 2 we see the work that God did to make those things come to pass.

As you continue to read Genesis Chapter 1 you’ll see that God said and then He made (by Jesus). Is it enough for us just to say something? We should combine our words of faith with works of faith. In James 2:14-26  it says that faith without works is dead. If you believe something there should be a corresponding action to that belief. If you want to lose weight you speak it and then you make it happen with diet and exercize. If you want prosperity, you say it and then you work on your budget.

If you truly want something to change in your life speak it and then make sure that your faith is followed by action.  However, your words and actions should line up with the Word of God!
