The theory of cognitive therapy teaches that the power of the spoken word in stating one's intent is primary for manifestation of one's intent. In ancient times, the Creation myth found in Genesis of the Old Testament relates that "God said let there be light, and there was light."
The theory of cognitive therapy suggests that verbalizing one's desires is crucial for their manifestation.  In contrast, the biblical story of Genesis describes God creating light by simply uttering the word "let there be light."
