“For the Lord God does nothing without revealing His secret to His servants the prophets. The lion has roared; who will not fear? The Lord God has spoken; who can but prophesy?” - Amos 3:6-7
Since God gave dominion-authority to mankind, He chose not to do anything until men speak. The reason for doing so is to honour His own words and keep His integrity. Earth has been given to men.
By speaking, Adam named every animal on the face of this earth. By speaking, nothing becomes something and little becomes much.
Henceforth, when God wanted to do something, He would speak to His people first, so that His people would speak and release the power of God for the words to come into being.
God calls those things which do not exist as though they did (Romans 4:17). When dominion-authority is given to mankind, men now call those things which do not exist as though they did, as long as God has said to them.
The Word became flesh (John 1:14) and dwelt among us. Yet before Jesus came, God had to speak to His prophets. Because the prophets had to SPEAK (prophesy) before Jesus could become flesh on earth.
The words of men prepared the way for the coming of God's Son. God had to speak to them to SPEAK, so that when the right time came, God sent His Son.
But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of woman... - Gal 4:4
The fullness of time, the right time came when we were still weak (Rom 8:6); when we still sinners (Rom 8:8); when we were His enemies (Rom 8:10).

Our speaking is the same as our prophesying. There is no difference. Just because you add, "I am not prophesying; I am only speaking" does not negate the truth that speaking is prophesying (Prov 18:21). This is why interpreting tongues (into understandable language) is as good as prophesying (1 Cor 14:4-5).
Every time when we speak, we either prophesy death or life. The former is to think like men (which is demonic in nature --- Matt 16:23) and speak, while the latter is to think like Christ and speak.
The Good News is that we have the Word of His power on hand ----- The Bible. We can speak the Word and watch things move & change according to the Word.
The sum of your life is the sum of your words spoken in life. If we want to change any situation in our lives, we need to keep speaking the Word of God.
