Speak It Into Existence by Frederick Hoehn, copyright 2016, all rights reserved. Chapter 1 In this book, I will share with you information that, to the best of my knowledge, is not generally known nor put into practice by the majority of American Christians. We will talk about speaking things into existence. But this teaching is mainly aimed at Christians. If you're not a Christian, then I would suggest that step number one for you is to become a Christian. More on that later in this book. But I think it would help you if first I let you know that about half a century ago, the Lord told me that I'm a Priest. So then the fact that you're getting this from one of the Lord's Priests should count for more than from just some guy on the street, wouldn't you think? Let's look at Gen 1:26,-- And God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness..." We are made in the image and likeness of God, the God who spoke the worlds into existence. Here's a passage from Hebrews,-- ___Hebrews chapter 1 1 God, who at various times and in different ways spoke in the past to the fathers by the prophets, 2 Has in these last days spoken to us by his Son, whom he has appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds... God made the worlds by his son, Jesus. What was the process by which that happened? By speaking words. However, there is a bit more to it than that. When God spoke the worlds into existence, he put his faith with his words. He expected that what he said would happen. We must do that, too, putting our faith with our words, expecting that what we say will happen. ___Genesis chapter 1 1 In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void, and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved on the face of the waters. 3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good, and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 And God called the light Day, and he called the darkness Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. 6 And God said, "Let there be a firmament in the middle of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters." 7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters that were under the firmament from the waters that were above the firmament, and it was so. 8 And God called the firmament heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. 9 And God said, "Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear," and it was so. 10 And God called the dry land earth, and he called the gathering together of the waters seas, and God saw that it was good. 11 And God said, "Let the earth bring forth grass, the plant yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth," and it was so. 12 And the earth brought forth grass, and plant yielding seed after its kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after its kind, and God saw that it was good. 13 And the evening and the morning were the third day. 14 And God said, "Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night, and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years, 15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light on the earth," and it was so. 16 And God made two great lights, the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night, he made the stars also. 17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light on the earth, 18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness, and God saw that it was good. 19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. 20 And God said, "Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and birds that will fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven." 21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters produced abundantly after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind, and God saw that it was good. 22 And God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply in the earth." 23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. 24 And God said, "Let the earth bring forth the living creature after its kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after its kind," and it was so. 25 And God made the beast of the earth after its kind, and cattle after their kind, and everything that creeps on the earth after its kind, and God saw that it was good. 26 And God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." 27 So God created man in his own image, he created him in the image of God, he created male and female. 28 And God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth." 29 And God said, "See, I've given you every plant bearing seed, that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed, to you it shall be for food. 30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I've given every green plant for food," and it was so. 31 And God saw everything that he had made, and see, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. vs 3, And God said vs 6, And God said vs 9, And God said vs 11, And God said vs 14, And God said vs 20, And God said vs 24, And God said vs 26, And God said vs 29, And God said I think I'm seeing a pattern here. God created things by saying with his mouth. And so can we, since we are made in the image and likeness of God. It is the will of God that His people should speak things into existence. Unfortunately, some Christians don't know that. Chapter 2 It was the will of God that Norvel Hayes' Mother be healed of cancer. God wants all his people well. But she was not taught how to receive healing from God. After Hayes grew up, he sought the Lord about it. He asked the Lord, "Why did you kill my Mother with cancer?" He said he prayed like that for three days. On the third day, the Lord answered, "Son, I didn't kill your Mother with cancer. I had nothing to do with it. The devil put those tumors in your Mother's body, and your Mother couldn't be healed because she had never been taught how to receive healing from God." Hosea 4:6 says, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." But Hayes' Mother was a good Christian, and loved the Lord. She wasn't destroyed, but she went to heaven prematurely because she hadn't been taught how to receive divine healing. What can be done to counteract lack of knowledge? Teaching. From Ephesians chapt 4,-- 11 And he gave some apostles, and some prophets, and some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the building up of the body of Christ, 13 Until we all come to be united in the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to human perfection, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, 14 So that from now on, we won't anymore be children, tossed back and forth, and carried around by every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, by which they wait in ambush to deceive, 15 But speaking the truth in love, will grow up into him in all things, who is the head, who is Christ, 16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplies, according to the effective working in the measure of every part, makes increase of the body to the building up of itself in love. In vs 11, there are five ministries, one of which is Teachers. If Norvel Hayes' Mother had had the right teacher, she need not have died of cancer. But when her son, Norvel Hayes, grew up, he became a Bible Teacher. Based on Mark 11:23, Hayes has said, "If you have Cancer, that's your mountain, COMMAND IT TO GO." Mark 11:23 is where Jesus says that we can move mountains.-- 23 For truly I say to you, that whoever shall say to this mountain, be removed, and be thrown into the sea, and doesn't doubt in his heart, but believes that the things that he says shall happen, he shall have whatever he says. 24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them. 25 And when you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive your trespasses. In vs 23, there is the saying, of course, but also we believe that what we say will happen, and we don't doubt in our heart. I've been very fortunate, in my seven decades of living, to have run across some good Faith Teachers, such as Kenneth E. Hagin, Charles Capps, Norvel Hayes. They have websites at Rhema.org, charlescapps.com, and nhm.cc, respectively. These teachers will help you with your Christian life, as they have also helped me. After learning from some Faith Teachers, a situation came up in my life. That was before my retiring. Still during my working career. I was in one part of the United States, probably California. (It was quite a while ago.) I needed a job, and had looked and looked and looked. So I started considering other areas of the United States. As I had previously traveled from Los Angeles to Chicago, there had been a city in the midwest where the bus took a half hour lunch break. Across the street from the bus station, there was what appeared to be a budget type hotel. I put some of this faith teaching into practice. I said with my mouth, "I'm going to go to that city, and rent a room at that hotel, and get myself a job in that city, in Jesus' name." (Christians have the right to use Jesus' name. Unbelievers do not.) I arrived at that city and rented a room. I told the Manager I'd be seeking employment, and could I put the hotel phone number on my resume, so that I could hear back from employers? He said O.K. Kinko's Copies has sold their business to Fedex Office, but at that time, it was Kinko's. I went there with my resume already on floppy disk or other computer media, and updated my address and phone number, and printed some resumes. I got the Sunday paper for the classified ads, and mailed out resumes. In about four more days I started my new job. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, brother Kenneth E. Hagin. Do you need a job? You can speak it into existence. Do you need a car? You can speak it into existence. Do you need a wife? You can speak that into existence. But be sure to spend time in prayer about it so that you get the right wife, whom you are sure is the will of God for you. If you're not sure, pray more about it, until you are sure. And don't marry an unbeliever. (2 Cor 6:14) Dr. Norvel Hayes said the Lord told him, "These are the most important words that ever came out of my mouth." Jesus was referring to his words in Mark 16:17,18-- 17 And these signs shall follow those who believe, in my name they'll cast out devils, they'll speak with new languages, 18 They shall pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it won't hurt them. They shall lay hands on the sick, and they'll recover." How do we pick up serpents? The same way the Apostle Paul did, after the shipwreck in the book of Acts, UNINTENTIONALLY. (Acts chapt 28) And though that poisonous snake bit him, he felt no harm. The local people on that island thought Paul was probably a murderer who was getting the death he deserved from a snake bite that would have normally killed the victim. When nothing bad happened to Paul, they figured he was a god. None of the above. Paul was a Christian. "New languages," in vs 17 refers to the Baptism with the Holy Ghost with the speaking in unknown tongues. And the Lord wants every Christian to have the Baptism with the Holy Ghost with the speaking in unknown tongues. You'll pray in a language that you never learned, and don't understand. How is that possible? Because, after Jesus baptizes you with the Holy Ghost, the Holy Ghost will give you those strange words in the unknown tongue (language), and then you add your voice, and speak out those strange words with your mouth. You get the Baptism with the Holy Ghost from Jesus, so ask him for it. When you pray, believe that you receive the things you ask for, and you shall have them. (Mrk 11:24, see above) For more about casting out demons, please see my book, "How to Cast Out Demons." Jesus said, "You MUST be born again." (John chapt 3) To become a born again Christian, obey Romans 10:9,10-- "That if you confess the Lord Jesus with your mouth, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you're saved. For with the heart man believes for righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made for salvation." ___James chapter 1 1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes that are dispersed around, greetings. 2 My brothers, count it all joy when you fall into various temptations, 3 Knowing this, that the testing of your faith works patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, so you'll be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God for it, who gives to all men liberally, and won't find fault, and it shall be given to him. 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavers is like a wave of the sea driven by the wind and tossed. 7 For let that man not think that he'll receive anything from the Lord. 8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. 9 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted, 10 But the rich, in that he is made low, because as the flower of the grass he'll pass away. 11 For the sun has no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withers the grass, and the flower of it falls, and the grace of the fashion of it perishes, so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways. 12 Blessed is the man that endures temptation, for after he's been tested, he'll receive the crown of life, that the Lord has promised to those who love him. 13 Let no man say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God can't be tempted with evil, nor does he tempt any man, 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust has conceived, it produces sin, and sin when it's finished, produces death. 16 Do not err, my beloved brothers. 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, nor shadow of turning. 18 He chose to father us with the word of truth, so that we would be a kind of first fruits of his creatures. 19 So, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger, 20 For the anger of man doesn't accomplish the righteousness of God. 21 So, lay apart all filthiness and the unnecessary naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. 22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man seeing his natural face in a mirror, 24 For he sees himself, and goes his way, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 25 But whoever looks into the perfect law of liberty, and continues in it, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. 26 If any man among you seems to be religious, and doesn't bridle his tongue, but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is for nothing. 27 Pure religion and undefiled before God the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. ___James chapter 2 1 My brothers, don't have the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. 2 For if a man with a gold ring comes to your assembly in fancy clothes, and a poor man in dirty clothes comes in also, 3 And you have respect to him that wears the fancy clothes, and say to him, "Sit here in a good place," and say to the poor, "Stand there, or sit here under my footstool," 4 Aren't you then partial in yourselves, and have become judges with evil thoughts? 5 Listen, my beloved brothers, hasn't God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom that he has promised to those who love him? 6 But you have despised the poor. Don't rich men oppress you, and bring you before the judgment seats? 7 Don't they blaspheme that worthy name by which you're called? 8 If you fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, "You shall love your neighbor like yourself," you do well, 9 But if you have respect of persons, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as sinners. 10 For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. 11 For he that said, "Do not commit adultery," also said, "Do not kill." Now if you don't commit adultery, yet if you kill, you've become a breaker of the law. 12 Speak in such a way, and do, as those who'll be judged by the law of liberty. 13 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that has shown no mercy, and mercy rejoices against judgment. 14 What does it profit, my brothers, though a man says he has faith, and doesn't have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister needs clothes, and lacks daily food, 16 And one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, be warmed and filled," but you don't give them the things that are needed for the body, what good is that? 17 Even so faith, if it doesn't have works, is dead, being alone. 18 Yes, a man could say, "You have faith, and I have works, show me your faith without your works, and I'll show you my faith by my works." 19 You believe that there is one God, you do well, the devils also believe, and tremble. 20 But don't you know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Wasn't Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see how faith worked with his deeds, and by works faith was made perfect? 23 And the scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness, and he was called the friend of God." 24 You see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. 25 Likewise also wasn't Rahab the prostitute justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? 26 For like the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. ___James chapter 3 1 My brothers, don't be many masters, knowing that we'll receive the greater condemnation. 2 For in many things we offend all. If any man doesn't offend in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body. 3 See, we put bits in the horses' mouths, so they'll obey us, and we turn around their whole bodies. 4 Look also at the ships, which though they're so large, and are driven by fierce winds, yet they're turned around by a very small helm, wherever the captain wants. 5 Even so, the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. See how great a matter a little fire kindles! 6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of sin, so is the tongue among our members that it makes dirty the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature, and it is set on fire by hell. 7 For every kind of animals, and of birds, and of snakes, and of things in the sea, gets tamed, and has been tamed by mankind, 8 But no man can tame the tongue, it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. 9 With it we bless God, the Father, and with it we curse men, who are made after the likeness of God. 10 Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be. 11 Does a fountain send out at the same place sweet water and bitter? 12 Can the fig tree, my brothers, produce olive berries? Or a vine, figs? So no fountain can yield both salt water and fresh. 13 Who is a wise man, possessing knowledge among you? Let him show out of a good lifestyle his works with meekness of wisdom. 14 But if you have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, don't glory, and don't lie against the truth. 15 This wisdom doesn't descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. 16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. 17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be reasoned with, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 18 And the fruit of righteousness is planted in peace by those who make peace. ___James chapter 4 1 Where do wars and fightings among you come from? Don't they come from your lusts that war in your members? 2 You lust, and don't have, you kill, and desire to have, and can't obtain, you fight and war, yet you don't have, because you don't ask. 3 You ask, and don't receive, because you ask wrongly, so you can consume it on your lusts. 4 You adulterers and adulteresses, don't you know that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world is an enemy of God. 5 Do you think that the scripture says for nothing, "The spirit that lives in us lusts to envy?" 6 But he gives more grace. So he says, "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble." 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he'll run away from you. 8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double minded. 9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and cry, let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he'll lift you up. 11 Don't speak evil about each other, brothers. He that speaks evil about his brother, and judges his brother, speaks evil about the law, and judges the law, but if you judge the law, you're not a doer of the law, but a judge. 12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy, who are you that judges someone else? 13 Go on now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we'll go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and make a profit," 14 Actually, you don't know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is a puff of steam, that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away. 15 For you ought to say, "Lord willing, we'll live, and do this, or that." 16 But now you rejoice in your boastings, all such rejoicing is evil. 17 Therefore to him that knows to do good, and doesn't do it, to him it is sin. ___James chapter 5 1 Go on now, you rich men, cry and howl for your miseries that shall come on you. 2 Your riches are corrupted, and your clothes are moth eaten. 3 Your gold and silver are rusted, and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh like fire. You've heaped treasure together for the last days. 4 See, the wages of the laborers who have reaped down your fields, which you've kept back by fraud, shouts, and the shouts of those who've reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabbath. 5 You've lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton, you've nourished your hearts, like in a day of slaughter. 6 You've condemned and killed the just, and he doesn't resist you. 7 Be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, and has long patience for it, until he receives the early and latter rain. 8 You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is getting near. 9 Don't grudge against each other, brothers, so you won't be condemned, see, the judge stands at the door. 10 Take, my brothers, the prophets, who've spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience. 11 See, we count them happy that endure. You've heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord, that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy. 12 But above all things, my brothers, don't swear, not by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath, but let your yes be yes, and your no, no, so that you don't fall into condemnation. 13 Is anyone among you afflicted? Let him pray. Is anyone merry? Let him sing psalms. 14 Is anyone sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord, 15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up, and if he has committed sins, he'll be forgiven. 16 Confess your faults to each other, and pray for each other so you'll be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man is does a lot of good. 17 Elijah was a man subject to the same kind of passions that we are, and he prayed earnestly that it wouldn't rain, and it didn't rain on the earth for three years and six months. 18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit. 19 Brothers, if any of you strays from the truth, and someone converts him, 20 Let him know, that he that converts the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
