Reality as we know it is subject to the Word of God. Using 2 Corinthians 4:18 we see that the things that we see are temporary. And the things which are not seen are eternal.
Calling those things which do not exist as though they did is the way God spoke things (the earth and all of creation) into existence. (Romans 4:17). And if you look at the passage in Romans 4 it's how God brought about Issac through Abraham and Sarah. God had to change Abrams name so that He would start speaking and calling himself the father of many nations when he didn't have the promised child yet. And as people began to call him Abraham, he also began to hear father of many nations....and faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God (Ro. 10:17).
When you call for things that are not (because our job is to imitate our Father and Jesus) your not ignoring the reality that they exist, but you are choosing to believe God's Word over what you see in the natural. You are.setting your faith and sights on what you can see in the spiritual. Hebrews 11:1 says that faith is a substance. And when you read other verses like Ephesians 1:3 and 1 Peter 1:;4 and 2 Peter 1:3-4 we see that everything that we will ever need for our LIFE is stored up or in other words waiting for us in heaven. So God has already set aside everything we need for living this life here on earth. The problem is that many people don't know how to get it to this earth, so they just say that it's reserved for when we get to heaven. But if they understood and believed in what God says, then they would realize that God expects us to be like Jesus was....and speak those things into existence, because they already belong to us.
Hebrews 4:12 says that the word is alive. And Hebrews 1:14 and Isaiah 55:10-11 and ps 103:20-21 talk about how the angels and God watch over The Word of God to perform it and in essence make what He says come to pass.
In a video we watched, the gentleman said how he told God that he felt like he was lying, and God told him, how can you be lying when your speaking His Words.
So the best thing to remember is that by speaking God's Word you are not ignoring reality, but calling for what the Word of God says that already belongs to you, instead of the bad things that the devil is trying to convince you that is all your ever gonna have.
