Lord…..Can You Keep A Secret?...My Conversation With God

God:     Hmmmmm!!! Depends.

Me:       What? Depends? Depends on what? I thought you are God, you know everything and I can tell

God:     (Smiles). OK Son. I’m listening......

And God Said....And God Saw

Throughout the book of Genesis, Chapter 1, verses 2-29, we learnt that God our Father, the Creator, always declares the things that do not exist BEFORE they exist. The two famous lines throughout the first chapter of Genesis are    "And God said", "And God saw"
 
Until you DECLARE a thing, it cannot begin to take on life and therefore you cannot POSSESS it, because what you did not give life to simply cannot come into being. Your declaration is a way of actually breathing life and starting the pregnancy of a new life which brings about the birth of that new life.  Notice that God's confession of his expectation always comes before the actual possession or creation of that thing, and since you came from him, as he made you in his image and in his likeness, then it goes without saying that before you experience the physical manifestation of any desire, you must confess or declare it.
