A speaker argues believers should command God rather than beg him. Jesus didn't plead with a fruitless tree or a storm, he commanded them. The shift from supplicant to citizen with authority changes how you pray.
Faith and voice were always meant to work together. See, because the religious practice trains its adherents, trains its members, not citizens, but trains its members to approach the divine as supplicants, hands outstretched, dependent on favor. See, kingdom understanding repositions the believer as an empowered agent One who has a voice-activated authority confirming that they are citizens of the kingdom. Because the instruction of scripture is not to beg God to act. It is command me, direct me according to, to what my hands have already made provision for. This is scripture. When Jesus encountered a fruitless tree, he didn't bow. his head and ask for a change. He addressed the tree directly and creation responded to the voice of one walking in authorized dominion. When the sea erupted into chaos, he didn't intercede for it to be calm. He issued an instruction to the storm and he said, peace, be still. And the atmosphere recognized the authority behind the words and complied. Peter's experience on, on the water began with a single word from Jesus. What did Jesus say to Peter? Come. Simple. Come.
