God's words created the universe instantly, but human words work differently: they cultivate change over time, not materialize it on command. Speaking life and positivity matters, but only when aligned with God's will and paired with mindset, action, and patience.
Chapters
When you speak what God speaks, your words have creative power. I like to word it this way: God's words have creative power, our words have cultivating power. You say, well, don't we have creative power? Indirectly. When we repeat what God repeats, that's when there's the creative power, because he's the source of that creative power. But if you think you have creative power on your own, just try to speak another highway into existence when you're facing traffic. Now, again, balance. It is true. You speak prosperity, you speak life, you speak positively. Eventually, that does bring about results. But when I talk about creative power, I'm talking about the instant materialization of that which you declare. God spoke and the world came into existence. Thankfully, there is a time gap. There is time that has to pass, process you have to go through, mindsets you have to develop, actions you have to take. But that doesn't mean that the words don't still have power. So your words can affect the world around you. Again, balance. They're not so powerless that you can be careless, and they're not so powerful that anything you speak will instantaneously materialize, unless of course you're speaking according to God's will and word.
