I am absolutely opposed to the teaching in churches that even remotely hints that one can achieve God’s blessings or one’s on control to bring positive elements into one’s life through “speaking the Word.”

It’s almost as if such theology usurps the Gen 1, John 1, Heb 1:3 power of the actual God who actually has a Word of Power that actually creates what it speaks (actually). We become the gods with the power of speech, and God is our puppet, supposedly slave to our incantations. It’s like sorcery, really, where “word of faith” is just a pious euphemism for “magical spell”.
