As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations, before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
~Romans 4:17 KJ
As it is written, I have made you the father of many nations. [He was appointed our father] in the sight of God in Whom he believed, Who gives life to the dead and speaks of the nonexistent things that [He has foretold and promised] as if they [already] existed.
~Roman 4:17 Amplified
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So okay I ask what are you speaking? I mean really really think about the things you say, the way you talk, the things you talk about. Are you speaking about things that are; or are you speaking about things that are not? The last part of the King James version for Romans 4:17 states that "God calleth those things which be not as though they were," and the Amplified version says that "God speaks of the nonexistent things that He has foretold and promised as if they already existed."
Is anybody paying attention to this? SPEAK OF NONEXISTENT THINGS AS IF THEY ALREADY EXISTED!!! Now I want to know does this apply to me too? Can I speak the things that are no where near my understanding, things that I need, want, and desire about my life, things that don't make sense in the natural to me or others? Of course I can! Why? Because I have been given the same power that God has, because I was created by Him. I have the same power that Jesus has, I have the power to say to a mountain, MOVE and it be uprooted and thrown into the sea.
That is some mighty power if I may say so, but guess what? You have it too! Stop talking and speaking about all the negative things of this world that are naturally common to man, like "we are in a recession", "the economy is bad", "men are dogs", "women are scandalous". Even if those things have proven to be true for you...Stop SAYING IT! Would you like to know why it has proven true for you?
What we as Christians don't realize is that our tongue is very powerful and when we speak things, because we are spiritual beings, and the spirit is very sensitive, we are not only speaking them, we are in agreement with them. Which ultimately makes those things true and fact in our lives and all around us when we do so. What we say takes root, grows, breathes, and lives, in our lives. Stop providing nourishment for the negative. What if God walked around the earth stating, "Man, it sholl is dark around here...."? Yall, we have GOT to get this, understand this, meditate on this, that we have that same power...today, right now, on earth.
You can't pay me to say I'm in a recession, cause I'm not, you can't pay me to say men are dogs, cause they aren't. You and I reside in the Kingdom and everything in it and around us is blessed and highly favored. My finances are blessed, my relationships are favored, my health, well being, and everything else attached to me are too. Love, abundant life, and grace are all within me and constantly drawing unto me, all I have to do is speak and receive.
I don't care what yall think or say, and I don't care what I see or hear, those lifestyle negatives that everyone harps on continually are not true in my life. And neither of those things apply to you and your lives either, unless you say so. Start calling those things that be not, as though they were; can you speak and agree with that?
