Name It and Claim It?

I got fire in my belly tonight, because I know, I know, I know that there's power in life in right words, that words are containers for power, and I don't care what kind of a mess you've got.

I am begging you tonight to stop talking about it and start talking about what the word says and what you can have.

Make yourself a list, do some work, do some homework, make sure you've got a scripture to back up every one of your confessions.

We're not talking about some magic, goofy, you know, weird new age thing. I'm talking about doing what the

Bible says, calling those things that be not as though they are, prophesying to the dead dry bones in your life.

Oh, you dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. Maybe you need to get your checkbook out and say, oh, you checkbook, hear the word of the

Lord. You are not going to stay empty all of your life. Yeah, except it is some magic, goofy thing, and just because Joyce says it isn't doesn't mean it's not.

In Ezekiel 37, God told Ezekiel to prophesy over a valley of dry bones, and they came to life.

This is a vision concerning the gospel. The Bible says we are dead in our sins, and it is the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ that brings us from death to life, the good news that in Christ our sins are forgiven and we have peace with God.

Joyce twists the message that saves into a message of financial prosperity. People cheer because she's telling them what they want to hear.

She and other name -it -and -claim -it preachers are liars and thieves. Romans 4 .17 says that God gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist.
