I'm glad you brought that up, so let us delve a little deeper, and instead of seeing what is on the surface, let's examine the underlying principal in which Paul is using it for.
Paul clearly says there is a law of faith, and like all laws, it works the same way all the time, otherwise it would cease to be a law.
Paul also says faith is a spirit, like the Holy Spirit is a spirit.
2Co 4:13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
This is how faith works for us today, as it did for them back then, because we have the SAME SPIRIT OF FAITH, as they had.
You speak what you believe in your heart. That is faith in a nutshell.
Now let's again look at the same principle of HOW faith or the law of faith works in Romans 10:8-10.
Rom 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Rom 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Same principal of faith as in 2Corinthians. If you confess with your mouth what you believe in your heart, then it is or become what you just decreed.
Again, both death and/or destruction and life and/or healing are in the power of the tongue. It just doesn't say you have to believe what you say in your heart.
Let's look at yet another example of this law or principle of faith.
Mar 11:22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God [or the faith of God].
Mar 11:23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not [no] doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
It is repeated over and over again, all through the bible.
This is the basic principle of the law of faith and how the law of the word of faith works.
An example of it working on the negative side would be;
Let's say someone has the symptoms of a cold or flu, and because they feel ill, they soon start telling others how they feel and start confessing how they must have caught either a cold or the flu.
Whether they had the actual virus or not, matters not, they just establish it's existence and right to be there to inflict them.
According to your faith, whether it be in the positive or negative, be it done unto you.
Again, "To him that has [that which he believes he has], shall be given [to him].
So even though Romans is talking about salvation, healing, deliverance, protection, and making one whole, the principle of the law of faith is still there that makes it all work or manifest.
This is not an evil doctrine, or that of devils, nor is it a form of witchcraft, and neither did I twist what it said. I simply extrapolated the words that reveal the law itself and how it works.
