Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty."

Way of Life
I have talked to many people who call themselves Christians—in Acts 11:26 we see that those in Antioch called the disciples Christian; nobody called himself a Christian—who don’t believe that they can call things into existence.
​
Do any of you have pets, a dog or a cat? When your cat or dog is outside, playing around out of sight, and you want them to come in, what do you do? Do you open the door and wait for them to come to you before you say anything? That would be, kind of, stupid, wouldn’t it? So, what do you do? You call him or her; that’s what I do. Is your dog or cat there before you call? So, what are you doing? You’re calling things that aren’t there as if they were, “here kitty.” You’re saying, “Well, yeah. I have to or he won’t come.” You mean you have to or he won’t be there.
​
When you go shopping and you get a porterhouse steak for dinner and you pay for it and take it home, it’s in your bag and no one can see it or small it. You friend comes over and asks what you’re having for dinner. You say, “I got a steak.” But he can’t see it so he says that you are lying. Are you lying or are you just speaking of something that can’t be seen yet?
​
See, calling things that are not known by the physical senses as if they were real is a way of life when you are not speaking of things that you have prayed for. Well, why not do the same for something that you have prayed for? See, the devil loves to manifest things unto you that you speak of, but you didn’t pray for, negative things (sickness et al). But God wants to manifest things unto you that you do pray for if you will speak of them, positive things (a car et al).
“As Scripture says: ‘I have made you a father of many nations.’ Abraham believed when he stood in the presence of the God who gives life to dead people and calls into existence things that don’t even exist,” (Romans 4:17 GOD’S WORD Translation).
God called Abram a father, so what did Abram do? Remember, the man had no children. In fact, the natural said that an old man and a baron old woman cannot have children. But did Abram allow the natural to dictate to him what he could speak? Not at all. Abram called himself Abraham, a name meaning father of many; and guess what? He became what he was confessing over himself, he became the father of Isaac who became the father of Israel and on it goes.
“Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours,” (Mark 11:24 New International Version) NOTE: Read from verse 25-22.
Now, when you pray to God and ask for something according to His will He says yes, it’s yours. So, He wants you to speak of it like it’s yours. You do that and continue to do that and it will manifest for you. Then you will be able to go to those who thought you were crazy or lying and show them.
​
Are you a true believer? Aren’t you glad that Abram started calling himself Abraham, despite what the natural was saying. Because, if he didn’t you wouldn’t be.
