Romans 4:17 Does NOT Say What You Think It Says

For years, "calling those things that are not as though they were" has been used to teach believers to declare healing, financial breakthrough, jobs, and desired outcomes into existence. But is that what Paul was actually saying?

In this episode we return Romans 4:17 to its context and examine what Paul is actually teaching about Abraham, faith, God's promise, and the One who truly calls things into existence.

Abraham's faith was not in the power of his own words. God spoke. Abraham believed. God fulfilled. The weight was never on Abraham's declaration. It was on God's character.
