God
- In the beginning God (Elohim) created [by forming from nothing] the heavens and the earth. Gen 1:1 AMP

Illustration:
Bird flies; baby bird will fly. Unnatural if baby bird doesn’t fly. Likewise, unnatural if a Child of God speaks and it does not happen. Not unnatural if it happens when he or she speaks.
Children of God
- to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God John 1:12 BSB
Jesus
- Seeing a fig tree by the road, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then He said to it, “May you never bear fruit again!” Immediately the tree withered. Matthew 21:19 NIV
- The centurion replied, “Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed. Mt 8:8 NIV Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go! Let it be done just as you believed it would.” And his servant was healed at that moment. Mt 8:13 NIV
Disciples
- Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” Acts 3:6 NKJV
- Paul, observing him intently and seeing that he had faith to be healed, said with a loud voice, “Stand up straight on your feet!” And he leaped and walked. Acts 14:9,10
- She continued this for many days. Eventually Paul grew so aggravated that he turned and said to the spirit, “In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!” And the spirit left her at that very moment. Acts 16:18 BSB
Tongue/Speak

- He replied, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you. Lk 17:6 NIV
Two things we can do
