This is not an easy subject to evaluate and summarize quickly. For example, in Galatians,
"Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap". This seems to be not only a spiritual law for believers, but for unbelievers also, to any "man". This applies even to our psychology and to our words. If you just go on in life speaking negatively about yourself, and to your dog and your family, likely you will be pretty miserable, and they will let you know so in return (and vice versa).
And then spiritually, when Peter healed and rose a person from the dead, he "spoke it so"..."But Peter
said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you:
In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk!” Then here, “Aeneas,” Peter
said to him, “Jesus Christ heals you! Get up and put away your mat.” Immediately Aeneas got up". And also, "Then Peter sent them all out of the room. He knelt down and prayed, and turning toward her body,
he said, “Tabitha, get up!” She opened her eyes, and seeing Peter, she sat up.
But like with many things, we canīt get superstitious about this either, and start shouting that I have won the lottery and expect it to become true...do I hear pipe dream?....
