Overview

• Romans 4:17–21 — Read aloud as the example of Abraham: believing God for the impossible (Isaac) and not staggering at God’s promise.
• Psalm 45:1 — “My tongue is the pen of a ready writer” used to show speech creates reality.
• Romans 10:17 — Faith comes by hearing the Word of God (basis for growing faith).
• Mark 11:24 — Praying with belief: “Believe…and you shall receive.”
• Hebrews 11:1; 11:6 — Definition: faith is the substance/evidence of things hoped for; impossible to please God without faith.
• 2 Timothy 4:7 — Paul’s “I have fought a good fight / kept the faith” used to contrast religion vs living faith.
• Romans 3:25–27 — Salvation, remission, and the law of faith (God’s righteousness declared through faith; excludes boasting).
• Romans 12:3 — The measure of faith given to each person.
• Ephesians 2:8 — Grace and the starting point of faith at salvation.
• 2 Corinthians 5:7; Romans 1:17 — Walk by faith not sight; righteousness revealed by faith.

Faith is creative power: when you speak God’s truth with belief you are “creating as you speak.” Distinguish between mere religion, the starter measure of faith at salvation, and the law of faith (the rules that govern how spoken faith produces results).

1. The Aramaic idea behind "Abracadabra" = "I create as I speak" — your words help form your reality.
2. Guard your tongue: what flows from your heart and mouth shapes your life; negativeness produces negative outcomes.
3. Three biblical categories of faith:
   • Religion of faith (practices, denominational belief) — not the same as the power to create.
   • Measure of faith — the beginning faith you receive at salvation (Romans 12:3; Ephesians 2:8).
   • Law of faith — faith as a spiritual law governed by rules and principles (Romans 3:25–27); learn how it works.

1. Faith grows by hearing God’s Word (Romans 10:17) and by confessing what you believe (Mark 11:24); speak promises out loud.
2. Walk and live by faith, not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7); de-escalate negative reactions and replace complaints with declarations of truth.

"I create as I speak."

"My tongue is the pen of a ready writer."

"Faith is the substance of the things I hope for... faith is the evidence of the things I do not see."

"It is impossible to please God without faith."

"God, put fences up all around me." (testimony of protection when the robber’s gun jammed)

• Monitor and replace negative speech: deliberately confess God’s promises instead of complaints about pain, lack, or defeat.
• Practice “Abracadabra” spiritually: speak the Scripture-based outcome you believe, then trust (quietly see it by faith).
• De-escalate anger and avoid reactive words—choose words that align with faith, not emotion.
• Grow your measure of faith by regular hearing/study of Scripture and obedience to the principles (the law) that govern faith.
• Begin learning the rules of the law of faith (attend the upcoming teachings the speaker referenced).

• A blessing was requested over the public Scripture reading: “May the Lord add a blessing…”
• Pray for bold, faith-filled speech and protection as we confess God’s promises (example prayer: “God, be a fence all around me”).

1. Which of the three types of faith am I living by today: religion, the measure I received at salvation, or practicing the law of faith?
2. What do my regular words (at home, work, with friends) tend to create: hope and confession or complaint and defeat?
3. What practical step will I take this week to speak a Scripture promise aloud with belief?

 

• Romans 10:17 - used to show faith comes by hearing the Word of God.
• Luke 6:38 - used to teach that giving to the poor results in God returning blessings pressing down, shaken together, running over.
• Ephesians 1:3; 2:8-9 - shows believers already have spiritual blessings and that salvation is a gift by faith (not works) — the starting point (faith initiation).
• Romans 4:17 - (Abraham example) called things that are not as though they were — model for calling promises into existence.
• Colossians 2:6-7 - used to explain walking in Christ by continuing the same way one received Him (confession + belief) — faith activation.
• Hebrews 11:6 - cited to show it is impossible to please God without faith.
• 1 John 1:9 - cited for confession and forgiveness when believers sin.
• Genesis 1 - previewed for part three: God’s example of word-creation (faith creation).

Faith must move from mere religion (words, rituals) into the law of faith that produces visible results: initiation at salvation → activation by confession + belief → creation. True faith pairs with works and practical benevolence; speaking and acting in faith brings spiritual realities into the natural.

1. James 2 exposes the problem: faith without works is dead; praying alone when someone needs provision is religious, not faithful action.
2. Distinction: "religion of faith" (attendance, rituals, talk) versus "law of faith" (obedient, operative faith that yields results).
3. The tongue matters: words create — the speaker used the phrase “Abracadabra — I create as I speak” to illustrate word-creation and the power of confession.
4. Faith initiation happens at salvation (Romans, Ephesians): you receive a measure of faith as a gift; that is the starting point.
5. Faith activation requires confession and believing (Colossians, Romans 4): call things that are not as though they were; speak your need and believe it already exists in the spirit.
6. Practice produces provision: give to the needy (Luke 6); benevolence aligns you with God’s repayment.
7. If faith is not practiced according to God’s law, people remain in the “prison” of lack, sickness, joblessness — faith must be lived out consistently.

"What doeth the prophet, my brethren, though a man say he had faith and have not works?"

"Abracadabra — I create as I speak."

"Faith without works is dead — being alone."

"You call those things that be not as though they were."

• Move beyond mere religious practice: pair your hearing of the Word with confession and consistent believing.
• Put faith into action: when you see someone in need, provide practical help (food, clothing, resources) as an expression of faith.
• Use your words: write your vision, confess daily what you believe (declare needs met), and meditate on it day and night so the invisible aligns with the natural.
• Stay in a Bible-teaching, Bible-believing environment to grow your faith (Romans 10:17).
• Practice benevolence; giving activates God’s promised return (Luke 6).

• For people to move from religion into the law of faith and experience sweatless victory.
• For provision, healing, and needs to be met as believers confess and believe.
• For wisdom to identify and help those who are struggling and in need.

1. Where in my life am I practicing religion (talk/ritual) instead of living the law of faith with works?
2. What one concrete act of benevolence can I do this week to demonstrate my faith (food, clothing, support)?
3. What specific promises or needs will I start confessing daily and believe into existence this month?
   

 

Overview

• Romans 4:17–21 - used as the target text to show Abraham's faith: God "calls the things which be not as though they were," illustrating faith activation and creation by speaking.
• Ephesians 1:3 - cited to show that all needed spiritual blessings already exist in Christ (they're present in heavenly places). Confession accesses them.
• Colossians 2:6–7 & Romans 10:9; Ephesians 2:8–9 - tied to faith initiation and activation: receiving Christ, then walking and confessing by faith.
• Genesis 1:1–3, 1:26–28, 2:7 - God's pattern of creation: He spoke, He saw, it manifested; humans created in God's image are called to create by speaking.
• Psalms 45:1 and 2 Corinthians 4:13 - emphasize the importance of the tongue: heart thinks good things, then we confess; Paul: belief leads to speaking.
• 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 - the body is the temple; our life must honor God so the temple follows the tongue.
• Jeremiah 3:15 - God gives pastors/teachers to feed believers with knowledge, understanding, instruction and guidance.

God created by speaking; believers are called to a faith lifestyle that "creates as we speak." When our speech lines up with Scripture and our lives (temple) follow, faith activates and brings spiritual blessings into natural manifestation.

1. The word "abracadabra" is reframed spiritually: "I create as I speak." Speech has creative power when rooted in faith and Scripture.
2. Faith has stages: initiation (salvation), activation (confessing & believing), and creation/manifestation (what you speak comes to pass).
3. Ephesians teaches that blessings already exist in heavenly places; confession accesses them.
4. God’s creation pattern (Genesis): He spoke, He saw, then things became—believers mirror that by confessing truth, believing, then seeing results.
5. The three critical components to manifest faith: Tongue (what you speak), Temple (how you live; your body/temple follows the tongue), and Teacher (ongoing instruction and pastoral feeding).
6. Practical posture: guard your speech (no negativity, complaining or agreement with bad reports), cultivate a heart that thinks good things, and remove toxic influences that drain resources or faith.
7. Agreement and partnership matter: when people in your space speak the same faith, power and cohesiveness help things move faster.

"I create as I speak."

"Everything that you need in this life already exists in heavenly places in Christ."

"Faith can change your fact."

"The tongue is the pen of a ready writer — what I say is recorded, and what's recorded will happen in your life."

• Watch and steward your speech: intentionally confess Scripture-based statements (provision, healing, peace) instead of negative reports.
• Live (your temple) in alignment with what you confess: honor the body as God's temple, practice holiness, rest in peace and gratitude.
• Remove or limit "riffraff" or negative influences in your home and relationships that drain faith and resources.
• Seek regular teaching and pastoral feeding (a teacher/pastor) to stay instructed, encouraged, and aligned with biblical faith.
• Practice corporate agreement: surround yourself with people who will speak the same faith so agreement multiplies manifestation.

• Thanksgiving for the spiritual blessings already given in Christ and for God’s provision.
• Prayer for increased faith to speak and believe boldly (activation and creation).
• Healing prayers (confessions of healing were modeled); prayers for those struggling physically to speak faith over their bodies.
• Prayer for wisdom to remove negative influences and for the Holy Spirit to guide speech and life.

1. What specific Scripture-based confession will you begin saying daily so your speech lines up with God’s promises?
2. Does your heart (thought life) indict good things or bad things when you wake? What needs to change?
3. Who is teaching you and feeding your faith regularly? Would a committed teacher or small group help you stay consistent?
4. What household or relational changes are needed so your home supports (not undermines) the faith you are speaking?

 

Overview

• Romans 4:19-22 - used as the backbone: Abraham's response to God's promise (investigation → courage → choice → transformation → change; promise imputed as righteousness).
• Genesis 12 - cited to show the original promise to Abram and the long timeline to fulfillment (Abram departed at age 75; promise manifested decades later).

Abraham's story shows that biblical faith — not wishful thinking or mere emotion — can change natural facts. Realizing God's promises requires investigation, consistent confession, spiritual conduct, teaching, patience, and a persuasive, settled belief that moves into performance.

1. Faith does not deny facts; faith changes facts. Facts (age, barrenness, diagnosis) remain true until faith works to transform them.
2. Three critical components to manifestation: tongue (what you speak), temple (how you carry your body/spirit), and teacher (sound instruction). Speaker emphasizes these as essential and sequential.
3. A four-step movement from Romans 4:
   • Investigation (verse 19) — examine the situation and gain courage.
   • Glorification (verse 20) — give God glory and make a choice to believe.
   • Transformation / Persuasion (verse 21) — become fully convinced beyond doubt.
   • Change / Performance (verse 22) — the promise manifests; righteousness is imputed.

1. Be careful not to stay passive: many Christians sit on promises (attend church, feel good) but never move into performance — Satan is pleased when promises remain unmanifested.
2. Manifestation often requires time, persistence, and consistency (example: 24–25 years between promise and visible fulfillment for Abraham and Sarah).
3. Practical testimony: speaker shared a recent faith experience with illness — choosing belief, giving God time, and seeing symptoms ease as an example of faith working through details.

"Abracadabra" meant, 'I create as I speak.'

"Facts don't change faith, faith will change a fact."

"Investigation led to courage; glorification led to a choice; transformation led to change."

"Don't just sit in church on promises — move into performance."

• Investigate your circumstance honestly: list the facts, then search Scripture and counsel to find God’s promise about it.
• Build courage by studying the Word and by refusing to be governed by natural evidence alone.
• Confess and speak God-counted language daily; align your tongue with what you believe.
• Conduct yourself as a temple: live in a way that honors the Holy Spirit so your life models what you confess.
• Seek a faithful teacher who explains Scripture in precept and example; avoid listening to many confused voices.
• Move from persuasion to performance: make a settled choice to believe beyond doubt and persist until visible change.
• Be patient and consistent — manifestation can take time, but keep confessing and walking by faith.

• Prayer for bold faith to override facts and for God to add a blessing to those who hear and apply the Word.
• Pray for perseverance, that believers will move from persuasion into performance and receive confirmation from God.

1. Have you been persuaded — convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt — that God can perform what He promised you?
2. Are you wishy-washy (believe today and doubt tomorrow) about a promise God has given you?
3. Do you speak God-language with your tongue and live as a temple so your life matches your confession?
4. Are you sitting comfortably on promises (attendance/feelings) without moving into performance? If so, what step will you take now?
5. Which of the three critical components (tongue, temple, teacher) do you need to strengthen this week?
