Of course it is the Holy Spirit in us prompting us to use our authority we have in Christ. It is all about Jesus in us in the person of the Holy Spirit. I agree that we cannot go around and "do" whatever we want from ourselves..that is from our flesh. However that does not negate that we can do what Jesus did and speak to the weather.
The term "name it and claim it" is misleading to say the least. I say that Jesus saved me and so I name and claim it. We should be "naming it and claiming it" about all that Christ has done for us!
Philemon speaks about this so called "name it and claim it"
Philemon 1:6 (KJV)
That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.
Acknowledge all the good things that are in us in Christ. This sounds like a whole lot of "name it and claim it"
I realize there is an extreme to this teaching as there can be in everything but to label it "name it and claim it" as if it is a bad thing - well..it's just ignorance gone to seed.
Let us be careful of the "tags" we give to the truth of God's word.
We need to be using "sound words" as Paul talks about in 2 Tim 1;13

Yes there is. Read your Bibles.
John 5:19 (KJV)
[SUP]19 [/SUP]Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
John 8:28-29 (KJV)
[SUP]28 [/SUP]Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. [SUP]29 [/SUP]And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
Those that "name it & claim it" without the Holy Spirit's leading are not doing it the way Jesus did. Those that say they can do these things take upon themselves more authority than Jesus had. Even Jesus couldn't do it, for He only did what the Father showed Him to do.
Claiming such authority rebels from God's will & plan.
