Quote But I do still think that magical thinking, as opposed to the genuine work of the Holy Spirit, is delusional.  C. I am opposed to the word of faith movement because of the focus on man and his wants as the agent for change. Any time mans will becomes the focus then God glory diminishes. God does not share His glory with any man. So if mans faith magically makes his circumstances then his glory means more to him than Gods will. God must have the control of the circumstances so that He gets the glory and not man. In saying that mans words produce death as an individual circumstantial paradigm is not within the context of the scripture. Mans words produce eternal destruction because they go no higher than the box of corruption that man exist in. They have no power to effect anything except personal destruction and leading a host of people toward hell ,which is the paradigm of death in scripture. If the negative words could produce a certain situation then the positive words could create. Have you ever brought someone from the dead by your declaration? Its just crazy and delusional.
