Exactly. It's self-fulfilling.
All promises in the Bible can be handled that way. If you don't have a "sound mind" as promised, it's because you don't have enough faith. Healing, peace, power, joy -- they're all in that bag. Even though Jesus is the "author and finisher" of your faith, you're still to blame if anything goes wrong -- you didn't "allow" Jesus to give you the faith you needed. Or something.

Or maybe the victim becomes very literal, and while they are dying they testify "Doesn't HURT!"
