Inspired by Pastor Steven Furtick — a voice whose ministry has consistently pointed people to this truth. The reflection below is written by Priesthood; the sermons of Furtick remain the property of their author and ministry.
Call it before you see it — not to manipulate God, but to agree with Him. He speaks of things not yet visible as if they already are; imitate your Father this week.
Agreement is a language of authority. When you speak what God has already said, Heaven backs the sentence.
You are not being naive when you name the invisible. You are being biblical.

Write down what God has said. Read it out loud when you cannot yet see it.
A prayer for this week
Father, thank You for the voices You raise up in every generation. Let the truth of Romans 4:17 take root in me this week. Shape me by Your Word, not just inform me. In Jesus' name, amen.
