Diligence Makes the Difference: by Gloria Copeland

Imagine for a moment you belonged to the wealthiest family on earth. Imagine your parents were the Rockefellers, for instance, and that you’d grown up surrounded by limitless abundance and extravagant riches. Think about what your financial perspective would be!

You’d always expect to have plenty of money. You’d think in terms of abundance, not lack. You’d never expect to have to go without or wonder how you’re going to afford a new car. You’d have all the cars and planes and boats and whatever else you wanted.

Having never known anything but wealth, your attitude would be, Hey, this is just the way it is in my family. We are very, very rich.

That’s the attitude you should have as a believer!

Although in the natural your last name may not be Rockefeller, you’ve been born into the wealthiest family there is. You’ve been born again into God’s spiritual family, and it’s just as real as any natural family, only it’s richer and more powerful.

No other family even comes close to God’s family!

He owns the whole earth and all of its fullness (Psalm 24:1). He owns the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10). All the silver and gold in the whole world belong to Him. All the buried treasures and hidden riches are His and He knows where they all are (Isaiah 45:3).

Our Father is a rich, rich God! He created all the wealth on this entire planet and put it here for His family to enjoy. In other words, He put it here for us!

“Well,” someone might say, “I think that’s an extreme point of view. It’s just an idea you prosperity preachers came up with.”

No, we didn’t come up with it. Our good and gracious God came up with it. Prosperity has always been God’s plan for His people. All through the Scriptures, as long as His sons and daughters would obey Him they walked in superabundance.

Think about how wealthy Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden. Until they decided to disobey God and do things their own way, they had everything good they could possibly desire.
Think about how prosperous Abraham was. He believed God, did what He said and wound up wealthier than the kings of nations. He walked faithfully in his covenant with God and became “very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold” (Genesis 13:2).

The same was true with the Israelites.

Even though they lived under the Old Covenant, when they obeyed God they had every need met. They were the head and not the tail. They had victory everywhere they went. They had a surplus of prosperity and THE BLESSING of Abraham was manifested in their lives.

Now we, as believers, are Abraham’s seed (Galatians 3:29) and that same BLESSING has come on us. It’s just as powerful as it ever was, and we can walk in it more easily than the Israelites did because we have a better covenant: We’ve been made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. We have His Spirit inside us, and He’s given us a heart to obey Him.

All that’s left now is for us to learn how to cooperate with Him. We just need to look in the Word and find out how to do things His way so we can live according to His laws of abundance.

Don’t Fatten Your Bank Account by Starving Your Soul

God’s laws of abundance are wonderful! They’re as dependable as the law of gravity. They work the same way all the time, and anyone in the family who walks in them can live a superabundantly prosperous life.
Believers who don’t walk in those laws, on the other hand, will live far below their financial privileges. They’ll just have to try to get by in the natural the best they can. God won’t be able to do much for them financially because, even though they’re His children, where money is concerned they still believe and operate much like unbelievers.

When they get in a financial bind, they worry and fret and try to figure out ways to get more money. When they want things they can’t afford, they get frustrated and rack up more debt. If their bank account isn’t as big as they want, they cut back on their giving and hoard up every cent of their income they possibly can.

From the world’s perspective those sound like normal things to do. But it’s not the way God’s family operates. We don’t go after money and material things. We go after God, and things come to us. That’s the foundational law of supernatural abundance. It’s what Jesus taught in Matthew 6:33. He said: “Seek (aim at and strive after) first of all [God’s] kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides” (Amplified Bible, Classic Edition).
Talk about a great way to prosper! That’s the best way to do it—by living for God and putting His Word first place in our lives.

There’s no downside to that way of prospering like there is to the world’s way. When people get wealthy the world’s way, they end up like the rich man in Luke 12. Remember him? He amassed a great fortune by his own fleshly efforts. Then he stored it up, fully intending to spend it on himself. But because he never paid any attention to God, in the end his wealth didn’t do him any good. He wound up dying before he could enjoy it. (See verses 16-20.)

That’s not an example we want to follow. Jesus said people who lay up treasure for themselves but are not rich toward God are fools! Their bank account gets fat but in the end their soul ends up starving. The only answer they have is money and it won’t get them into heaven. It won’t heal them of a terminal disease. It won’t break the power of the addictions that have enslaved them.

When you seek God first, however, you prosper “as your soul prospers.” You increase financially as “you walk in the truth” (3 John 2-3, New King James Version), and the truth makes you free (John 8:32).

What exactly does it mean to walk in the truth?

It means you live a godly life: You make God’s Word your final authority and do whatever He says to do. It means you keep His Word in your heart and in your mouth. You believe and say what He says about you. When you’re facing financial difficulties, you don’t go around talking poverty and lack. You don’t say things like, “I just don’t see how I’m going to pay all these bills.” You put your faith in scriptures like Philippians 4:19 and say, “My God shall supply all my need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus!”

When you’re walking in truth you also put God first in your finances. You make tithing a priority. You give cheerfully to others whenever the Lord leads, confident that the Lord will BLESS you in return because, as Galatians 6:7 says, “Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”

A Precious Possession

“But Gloria,” you might say, “I do all those things. I spend time in the Word every day. I believe and confess the Word over my finances. I tithe and give. Yet I’m still not prospering and increasing!”
Then maybe you need to check up on yourself in another area. Maybe you need to see how you’re doing when it comes to being diligent. Diligence is another one of God’s foundational laws of abundance. It’s defined as “steady application to business of any kind; constant effort to accomplish what is undertaken.”
Diligence is perseverance. It’s doing wholeheartedly whatever job you’ve been given to do. It’s part of what causes you to prosper.

You might not hear as many sermons about diligence as you do about other things, but God tells us time and again in the Scriptures how valuable it is. In Proverbs, for instance, He says:

“He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich” (Proverbs 10:4).

“The hand of the diligent will rule, but the lazy man will be put to forced labor” (Proverbs 12:24, NKJV).

“Diligence is man’s precious possession” (Proverbs 12:27, NKJV).

“The soul of a lazy man desires, and has nothing; but the soul of the diligent shall be made rich” (Proverbs 13:4, NKJV).

“The [sluggard] will not plow because of winter; He will beg during harvest and have nothing…. [but] the plans of the diligent lead surely to plenty” (Proverbs 20:4, 21:5, NKJV).

“How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man” (Proverbs 6:9-11).

This is just the way it is in God’s family: Sluggards don’t do well. People who sleep late every morning and spend their days lazing around don’t prosper.

God isn’t like the government. He doesn’t have programs that pay people for not working. In His system, if you want to prosper you’re expected to work and be productive. Whether you’re a full-time mother and homemaker, a student, a business owner or an employee, you’re expected to give it your best effort and do a good job.

What if you have a job you don’t like, or you have one that doesn’t pay very well?
Be diligent anyway! Believe God for a better job if you want, but in the meantime treat the one you have with respect. Don’t just do as little work as you can without getting fired. Be the best employee that company ever had. Show up at work every day with a smile on your face and do everything you can to be a blessing in that place.

“But you don’t understand. My job is just menial. It isn’t very important.”

Yes, it is! For one thing, it provides you with an income to tithe on and the ability to sow into the kingdom of God. It gives you the opportunity to go to work every day thinking, I’m doing this as unto the Lord, and I’m getting seed for a harvest out of it.

For another thing, even if your job doesn’t pay very well it gives you the opportunity to be faithful. And if you’re faithful, God can increase you. He’s not limited by where you start. He can take you from the bottom rung of the ladder all the way to the top!

That’s what happened to the first two servants in the parable Jesus told in Matthew 25. They started out as slaves and ended up as rulers. You’ve probably read the story…
In the beginning, each of the servants was given the job of stewarding a certain amount of money for his master. One servant was given five talents of money; the second got two talents; and the third got one talent.
Afterward, the master went on a journey and while he was away the servant who “received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents. And likewise he who had received two gained two more also. But he who had received one went and dug in the ground, and hid his lord’s money” (verses 16-18, NKJV).

What happened when the master returned? He gave the two faithful servants identical promotions! Even though they started out at different levels financially, he blessed them both equally and said, “Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord” (verses 21 and -23, NKJV).

The unfaithful servant, however, received a demotion. The master said to him, “You wicked and lazy servant…[at least] you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest. Therefore take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents. For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away” (verses 26-29, NKJV).

This is one of the key principles in God’s system of prosperity: Faithfulness brings increase. Unfaithfulness results in decrease.

God wants you to increase! He’s not just your master, like the man in the parable—He’s your loving heavenly Father. He takes delight in prospering you (Deuteronomy 30:9). So, give Him the opportunity by walking in His laws of abundance!

Put Him and His Word first place in your life and your finances. Keep that Word in your heart and in your mouth. And when He puts something in your hands, even if it seems small, be faithful with it. Work diligently with what you’ve been given and “whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward” (Colossians 3:23-24).

3 Things To Do When You Feel Stuck

Feeling like you’re in a spiritual stalemate? Here are three things to do when you feel stuck!

If you’ve ever had a car break down, you know that one of the most challenging parts about the situation is this—you feel stuck. You turn the key and nothing. You have a desire to get moving, but you are going nowhere fast.

The first thing most people do in this situation is try and determine what caused the vehicle to come to a halt. If you’re mechanically inclined, you’ll pop the hood and start checking different components one at a time. The bottom line is—as long as you don’t fix the problem, you won’t move forward and get to your destination.

The same is true when you’re stuck in a spiritual stalemate. Maybe you have unfulfilled dreams and visions or feel like you’ve been standing on the same Word for an eternity without any signs of a manifestation. No matter what you do, you feel stuck.

You get out your spiritual tool belt and try everything you have—fasting, prayer, going to the altar, speaking confessions. Stuck. Then, the questions come: Why am I not getting what I’m believing for? Why am I not being promoted in life? You know you’re missing out on God’s promise of abundance, but you aren’t sure how to get there. Here’s the problem:

The same old thinking will get the same old results.

There is a path to the destination you desire to reach. God doesn’t make promises that are inaccessible, but He does expect you to get out your spiritual map, learn to use the tools He’s given you, and be willing to make the changes that will help you arrive at your destination. If you’re ready to get back on the road to victory, here are 3 things to do when you feel stuck.

1. Pay Attention to the “Ifs” in the Bible

“If you are willing and obedient….” –Isaiah 1:19 (NKJV)

If is a big word in the Bible. It speaks directly to our responsibility when it comes to receiving from God. Quite often, God will say, “If you do this, I will do that.” And it started at the very beginning of your relationship with the Lord. Romans 10:9 says, “If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved” (NKJV).  The promise is salvation; the “if”—or the condition—is that you first confess and believe.

If you’re believing for something today—finances, healing, deliverance, restoration of a relationship, there is a promise for you in the Bible—and one way or another it is attached to an “if.” Yet so many Christians stand on the promises of God, believing to receive, but don’t fulfill the prerequisites. They like the idea of cashing in on all of God’s promises, but they’re less keen on mapping out the road to get there. Then, they’re left wondering why it hasn’t come to pass.

That’s why so many people will declare, “I am the head and not the tail, above only and not beneath” (Deuteronomy 28:13), but they forget about the rest of the verse: “If you heed the commandments of the Lord your God” (NKJV). So, if you’re standing on the promise of being the head and not the tail, above and not beneath in your job, your finances, your family, or any life situation—check the “if.” Are you heeding (obeying) His commandments?

Which commandments? All of them! Are you loving others according to 1 Corinthians 13:4-8? Are you free of unforgiveness? Do you keep yourself from gossip, coarse speech and financial manipulation? Are you tithing? One area of disobedience could be what is holding you back. So, if you’ve been stuck, spiritually speaking, perhaps there is an “if” that needs to be addressed.

That’s why Gloria Copeland has said on so many occasions, “You’ve got to read the ifs in the Bible.  You can’t have the blessings without fulfilling the ifs.”

Some people don’t want to think about what their responsibility is in receiving from God. But to fulfill the “ifs” in the Bible, you must have a willing heart. Keith Moore has said, “Being willing is extremely important to the Lord.” You can actually do something without a willing heart, but you won’t receive a reward for it. It’s the willingness that brings the reward.

Willing—to do what?

Be willing to change. Be willing to lay hands on the sick. Be willing to do whatever God tells you to do. And then back it up with obedience. That’s the “if” we find in Isaiah 1:19  (NKJV):

“If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land.”

In other words, how we live down here is our choice. We can be willing and obedient, or we can rebel and be disobedient. If we’re willing and obedient, things will work well in our lives. There will be prosperity, fullness, peace and joy. But if we stay in disobedience, things aren’t going to go well with us. If you’ve been feeling spiritually stuck, make a decision today to go with God where He leads you. Each day, say, “Lord, what would You have me do today?”

Exodus 15:26 (ESV) is an “if” to consider, if you need healing in your body:

“If you will diligently listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and…keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you…for I am the Lord, your healer.”

If you will diligently listen. Now, that doesn’t mean you just listen once a week or you just listen when it happens to be convenient for you to hear the Word. You’ve got to be diligent in pursuing the voice of God, and His Word, to walk in His blessings. Even in the new covenant, if your mind is not renewed by the Word of God, you’ll end up under the domination of your flesh.

There is certain victory in hearing and doing the Word of God.

2. Take Love to the Next Level

“Faith…worketh by love.” –Galatians 5:6 (KJV)

If you’ve been feeling stuck in your spiritual life—not seeing manifestations of what you’re believing for—your love walk is a critical place to check. You’re stalemated, and if you’re not walking in love, your faith won’t work. And without your faith in operation, those things you’re believing for aren’t going to come to pass. That’s why we talk about walking in love so much—it’s a prerequisite for promotion!

To take love to the next level and walk in love as God has commanded, you will put others’ interests ahead of your own, and you won’t be touchy and easily offended. This is the divine love gauge. As long as you take account of the evil done to you, you’re not walking in love. This might seem difficult at first (it takes practice!), but the reward is great.

Watch Kenneth Copeland as he shares how High-Octane Faith Runs on Love.

Most of us truly desire to obey the second greatest commandment (it covers every Old Testament commandment!), but we can easily slip out of love if we do not pay close attention. You have to pay close attention to your love gauge and get yourself back on track quickly when you slip. Some of the life circumstances that can cause us to fall off the love line include:

  • A hurt or betrayal that builds into bitterness and unforgiveness over time
  • Spending time watching or listening to negative, critical programming
  • Giving ear to the voice of bitter or critical people on a regular basis
  • Failing to receive a promise you’ve been standing for in faith, and allowing disappointment to turn into cynicism or envy
  • Allowing your flesh to develop a habit (complaining about drivers on the road, talking about other people at church, griping to your spouse about the neighbors).

If you find yourself in one of these situations, there is good news for you—it is correctable! The most dangerous thing you can do is remain in any one of these states. Instead, make a decision today to forgive, throw off bitterness, spend time with positive people, turn off the news, and bite your tongue when you want to complain. Make a change!

Write out 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 on a 3×5 card, and recite it out loud twice daily until it sinks into your spirit and you start to see a noticeable change. Make a quality decision (one you can’t turn back from) that from this day forward, you are going to love others—sincerely—the way God has commanded you to, no matter what happens.

Learn to let God’s love dominate you in every area of life. Take love to the next level—be patient and kind, believe the best in others, don’t take into account the wrongs that are done to you, don’t brag or be rude. When you do these things, you’ll turn around one day and say, “I’m not stuck anymore! I’m moving forward, glory to God!”

3. Increase Your Bible Patience

“Let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.” –James 1:4 (NKJV)

In a world that thrives on instant gratification, patience isn’t popular. In fact, there was a well-known poster at one time that read, “Give me patience, and I want it NOW!” Yet, as one of the fruit of the spirit, we know it is something we should aspire to achieve and walk in daily. God never calls us to do anything that we cannot do, or anything that is not to our ultimate benefit. So, no excuses!

Faith sounds a lot more exciting than patience, doesn’t it? But, the truth is, faith doesn’t work without patience. If you can learn to increase your Bible patience, you can get anything because you’ll get on the Word of God and stay there until the manifestation comes.

With faith, you get started. With patience, you finish the race. 

So, what does Bible patience look like? In the natural, or in traditional religious circles, patience just means to grin and bear it. Or not even grin—just endure it. But that’s not Bible patience.

Bible patience is that force in our reborn spirit, based on the Word of God, that won’t quit. Bible patience will go after something as long as it takes. For example, if you’re believing for healing and it’s been three weeks but you haven’t seen a change, patience will come and undergird your faith. It will keep you standing and believing the Word of God until the full manifestation comes.

So, what should you do when you have symptoms, and you pray, and nothing happens? Bible patience knows if you believed you received it—you have it. So, Bible patience won’t call people on the phone and say, “Well, I prayed about it, but I didn’t get anything.” No. You take it when you pray. Don’t give it up until that prayer is fully answered and your healing is fully manifested.

It’s the same way with money. You might be believing for something big— a house, a car—and it’s been a month or two. You can’t tell anything has changed. What do you do?  You do the very same thing you did on the first day. You believe you receive it. You don’t give up just because time has passed.

Bible patience does not surrender to circumstances. 

When circumstances say, “You didn’t get it. You don’t have a car to drive. You didn’t get that car,” patience just reiterates whatever it’s standing on from the Word of God. It’s not moved by the whys. You don’t receive it when it’s parked in your garage—you receive it when you pray. Bible patience won’t be talked out of it. That’s how you keep from getting stuck—from failing to move a spiritual inch. You hold on to Bible patience.

Faith with patience always works.

Now, if you haven’t been operating in Bible patience, don’t say, “Well, I believe I’ll try that.” You don’t try it—you do it. You just stay with it until the answer comes. You’ll never get anywhere in faith without applying patience. And when you do, nothing will be impossible for you.

In conclusion, when you pay attention (and act on!) these three things when you get stuck—the “ifs” in the Bible, your love walk, and Bible patience, you are in position to break loose and break through! Those things you’ve been believing for—don’t give up. If they are in God’s Word, they belong to you. God wants you to have them. So, get moving!

Feeling Like the Underdog? Don’t Stay Under…Go Over!

by Gloria Copeland

“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.” (2 Corinthians 4:13)

In almost 50 years of ministry, I cannot tell you how many opportunities Ken and I have had to fail…and fail big!

There have been times when our circumstances looked dark and impossible. Times we didn’t have enough money to pay the bills in the ministry. Times we let ourselves become discouraged by not acting on what we knew and what we were supposed to do. During those times, we would fail to say the right things…the things God’s Word says about our situation.

But then we would hear a message preached at a meeting or listen to a faith-filled tape that would throw us right back into faith. As a result, we would rise up, take authority over our words, repent for unbelief and any other mistakes we had made in the process, and get our thinking and our words straight.

Each time, God brought us to a place of victory. Each time, we came out of trouble after we returned to saying not just familiar words, not just accurate words, but words of faith from the heart.

If you’re going through a difficult time right now, I want you to know that speaking words of faith makes all the difference between staying under and going over.

It’s often the missing step for believers who are doing a lot of things right. They could be walking in truth and living lives of faithfulness and diligence. They may be tithing and sowing and still not prospering as much as they should or could. The truth is, they won’t receive all God desires for them until they check what is going on right under their noses—literally!

Our Words Are a Sickle

We will never be able to skip the step of saying words of faith from the heart if we are going to see the fullness of God manifest in our lives.

It’s believing and saying that causes things to come to pass. It’s believing and saying that causes us to increase. The believing part is the faith part. Our words must have faith behind them for them to be faith words.

Mark 11:22-23 says, “Have faith in God. For whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.”

That is faith in a nutshell.

Years ago, Rev. Kenneth E. Hagin said that in this scripture Jesus mentioned “believing” one time and “saying” three times. The first time I heard his tape, You Can Have What You Say, I was listening and busily taking notes when I heard these words in my spirit:

In consistency lies the power.

I received light on Mark 11:23 that changed my life: All my words are important! Not just what I say when I pray, but all the time. Our words are our faith speaking—either good or bad. I realized all my words are vital to my future. Not just when I pray, but those things I say all the time are opening or closing doors for God to work in my life. Everything I say should be in line with God’s Word and my desires. In consistently speaking faith words lies the power of an overcoming life.

If you’re saying “nothing’s happening,” then nothing’s happening.

If you’re feeling sorry for yourself and saying, “This always happens to me,” and “I don’t know why God’s not doing something about it,”…then it will and He will not.

What you really believe is what you say when the pressure is on. If you want to find out if you are in faith or not, listen to what you are saying in the privacy of your own home. And know this: Even behind closed doors in the dark of the night, what you say matters.

Malachi 3:13-15 tells us God was listening when His people said, “What good does it do to serve God? You know, those rich folks down the road, they don’t have any trouble.” And God confronted them about their grumbling. He said, “Your words have been stout against me.”

Don’t let your words be stout against God. He isn’t your problem—He’s your answer! Release faith with your words and give Him something to work with.

Don’t do what the children of Israel did in Deuteronomy 1:27 either. At the report of giants in the land, they allowed fear to enter into their hearts and they began murmuring in their tents. They grumbled: “Oh, the Lord must really hate us to bring us out of Egypt only to be killed by giants in the land He promised us.”

God heard the words they were saying in the privacy of their dwelling places, and they were evil in His sight. They didn’t have faith in what God had promised them and because of that, a whole generation missed out on the blessing of entering the Promised Land.

If you’re not getting results, don’t murmur and complain. Instead, come to grips with the fact you may need to change what you’re believing and saying. You are not going to say one thing and reap another. So don’t say, “Nothing’s happening.” Instead, say “I have it and I’ll not be moved until it manifests, in Jesus’ Name.”

You cannot talk decrease and expect increase. Your words are your sickle. They bring to you what you say.

What’s in Your Heart?

Matthew 12:34-35 says: “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.”

Here Jesus is telling us that our words reveal what we have been consistently filling our hearts with. As we fill our hearts with the Word of God and believe it, faith will overflow into our words. Those words filled with faith have power and will affect our circumstances.

Out of the good treasure of our hearts, good things will come forth.

If you don’t have good treasure stored in your heart—if you’re not believing the right things—you can change what you believe. Simply go to the Word, see what God says about your situation and declare, “That’s the way it is. I’m honoring that word and doing it.” That’s how you take the Word into your heart.

Filling your heart with God’s Word establishes God’s kingdom in your heart. It gives you His words of dominion.

In Matthew 6:22-23, Jesus said: “The eye is the lamp of the body. So if your eye is sound, your entire body will be full of light. But if your eye is unsound, your whole body will be full of darkness” (The Amplified Bible).

In other words, what you give your attention to is critical.

The entrance to your heart is through your eyes and ears. The “eye” of faith looks at the Word of God instead of the circumstances. You can have a sound “eye” by following God’s instruction: “My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life” (Proverbs 4:20-23).

Verse 23 in The Amplified Bible says, “Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life.” What we allow into our hearts affects every part of our lives.

If we spend time in the Word allowing it to flood our hearts, Psalm 119:105 says it will be a lamp to our feet and a light to our paths. But if we are filling our hearts and minds with worldly information—watching worldly television and movies, reading worldly books and magazines—our hearts will not be filled with light. Only by renewing our minds with the Word of God (Romans 12:2) will our hearts be flooded with light.

As you renew your mind with the Word, you learn to think like God thinks and you’ll make right decisions—you’ll be blessed. That is what Matthew 6:33 is talking about when it says, “But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides” (The Amplified Bible).

If God truly rules in your heart, if He is Lord of your life and you do what He says, then the kingdom of God (His dominion, presence, power, glory and anointing) will continually flow out of you and take authority over the things coming against you. That’s God’s plan of dominion. Words of authority are words of faith from the heart.

Faith—the Believer’s Lifestyle

A lifestyle of faith is the lifestyle of a true believer. Romans 1:17 declares, “The just shall live by faith.” That passage in The Amplified Bible says, “The man who through faith is just and upright shall live and shall live by faith.”

Faith pleases God because it makes a way for Him to work in our lives. It connects us to His supernatural anointing. Look at Abraham. God promised to bless him saying, “A father of many nations have I made thee” (Genesis 17:5). Though it seemed impossible, Abraham believed God who “calleth those things which be not as though they were” (Romans 4:17). “He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God” (verse 20).

When he agreed with what God said, he saw the promise come to pass. He received the promise because he believed God.

Believers today can walk in the same favor Abraham enjoyed. Galatians 3:29 declares that “if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” Verses 7 and 9 say, “Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.”

It takes faith for the blessings of God to manifest in our lives.

Hebrews 6:12 instructs us: “Be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.” God’s Word will come to pass in your life if you will put it in your heart and in your mouth. Be patient. Don’t dig up your seed with words of unbelief.

Satan comes to steal the Word that has been planted in you. He’ll try to make you quit. But when pressure comes, recognize the source and the reason. Persecutions and afflictions arise for the Word’s sake (Mark 4:15-17). The enemy tries to get you to believe something other than what God has said in His Word.

But don’t quit believing! Don’t quit confessing the Word. Don’t let pressure cause you to speak negative, unbelieving words that give the enemy license to operate in your life. And don’t focus on the circumstances or talk about them. Instead, talk to them.

Be a faith person—someone who not only says the right things in church on Sunday, but who consistently says the right things all the time. Even in challenging circumstances, a person of faith believes God’s Word is true. Even when it looks hopeless, talk the Word.

The things you continually say are the things that come to pass in your life.

God’s Book of Remembrance

God hears all of our words. And He loves to hear words of faith—words that release the provision He so earnestly desires to shower on us. Malachi 3:16-17 says:

Then those who feared the Lord talked often one to another; and the Lord listened and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him of those who reverenced and worshipfully feared the Lord and who thought on His name. And they shall be Mine, says the Lord of hosts, in that day when I publicly recognize and openly declare them to be My jewels (My special possession, My peculiar treasure)” (The Amplified Bible).

Not only is God listening. He is making note of those who believe Him and speak about His goodness. God calls them His jewels, His treasure.

That’s the group you and I can belong to if we speak words of faith from our hearts and obey those words with our actions!

In each of the challenges Ken and I have faced, something would happen as we listened to a tape or attended a meeting. The Word of God would correct us, drive out the disobedience or unbelief and destroy what was holding us down. Hearing the Word would bring us out of discouragement. It would cause us to stir up our faith again. We would stop seeing ourselves in the hole or in trouble. We would start believing and saying that we had the victory.

Although nothing in the natural changed immediately, something happened in the supernatural. Something happened in our hearts. God saw it too—He looked at our hearts. He heard our words. He knew faith was there. The turnaround came! The mountain was moved! Whether it was a $6 million television bill or some other kind of trouble—each time we came out.

God helped us. Even when we got under it and acted defeated and murmured in our tent, He restored us to that place where we had enough faith to quit saying and doing the wrong things and to begin saying the right words. We discovered it pays to speak words that please God.

So, if wrong words come out of your mouth, repent and get back on the truth of the Word. When you speak words that are crosswise to what you’re believing for, repent and say, “I break the power of that in the Name of Jesus. I’m believing the Word of God, and I’ll not accept that opposing word coming out my mouth. Father, forgive me.”

Make all your words agree with the Word of God. Speak faith words that give your heavenly Father the freedom to do what pleases Him most—to bless you with the abundance of His life and provision. Give God the pleasure of entering your words of faith in His book of remembrance. Let Him note you are one of those who believe Him and speak about His goodness.

Fulfill His joy of calling you His jewel…His special possession…His peculiar treasure.

Give Him words of faith from your heart.

Two Key Ministries for Every Believer

Did you know that God has called every single one of us to two very important ministries, no matter how new—or mature—we are in Christ? In fact, these two ministries have always been at the heart of advancing God’s kingdom. They are directly responsible for providing answers to a lost and hurting world, bringing hope to the hopeless, and continuously encouraging our development in the gifts of the Spirit.

As vital as these ministries are, many believers are leaving this work and its wonderful harvest to others because they don’t feel “qualified” to minister in this capacity. But according to Acts 1:8, Jesus believes we can operate in these two ministries, no matter our level of faith, and He promises to empower us every step of the way.

Read these two key ministries for every believer, and you’ll be encouraged to start ministering to others immediately. When the Lord leads and guides you, it’s easier than you think!

Key Ministry No. 1: Witnessing

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” – Acts 1:8, NLT
Sometimes, believers can become intimidated before witnessing. We can think, “What will I say? How will I act?” And yet we shouldn’t miss the most crucial component in being a witness for Jesus: His Love for us, and our love for Him (1 John 4:10).
You see, it doesn’t take a special education or license to share Jesus with others; it only takes our willingness to share our belief and our testimonies as the Lord leads and guides us. As we share Jesus with others, and let His light shine through us, our conversations with others become easy and anointed (2 Corinthians 4:6).
Jesus never told us that we needed to say certain things or all act in the same way. In fact, God created us with our own personalities and interests, giving us the ability to minister to others in a way no one else can. So, the next time God tells you to talk to someone about Him, don’t underestimate what He’ll be able to do through you in that conversation.

Consider this example: Billy Fraser was a man who didn’t underestimate what God could do through him. In fact, he was very patient while witnessing to and inviting his co-worker, a man named Ed, to church for a year and a half—all while being colorfully declined week after week. Still, this didn’t bother Billy. He wasn’t seeking Ed’s approval; he was only concerned for Ed’s soul and where he would spend eternity.

Finally, one day, Ed agreed to go to church saying: “If I go to church with you one time, then will you leave me alone?” Billy said yes, and Ed went to church with him. That Sunday morning, Ed Dufresne was born-again and he became a bold, compassionate, and well-known healing minister for 49 years. Brother Ed passed away a few years ago, but his wife, Nancy, and their children continue to preach the Word and see miraculous healings. Because of Billy’s patience and obedience to the Word, there was a beautiful and large harvest that impacted countless lives for years to come.

Like Billy, as we go about our everyday lives, we too can share our faith and hope in Jesus with others. As we continue building ourselves up in our faith, we can keep being inspired to share Jesus with our neighbors, friends, and co-workers (1 Timothy 4:15; Romans 10:17; Matthew 5:16). Jesus told us to tell people everywhere about Him, so let’s make it a priority everyday everywhere we go.

Key Ministry No. 2: Discipleship

“And the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, so that all nations will hear it; and then the end will come.” – Matthew 24:14, NLT

Imagine if your children attended a Christian school that was brand new, extremely clean, and led by the kindest of teachers. From the outside looking in, such an environment might seem perfect. But if no one taught the children; if they were allowed to do whatever they wanted as long as they stayed in their classroom; then we would agree that something was seriously wrong, wouldn’t we?.

That’s exactly what we’re doing when we don’t disciple new believers and teach them the Word. If we expect new believers to learn enough and eventually grow in their Christian faith only by attending church every Sunday, then we’re neglecting what Jesus commissioned us to do. Jesus told us to go and make disciples, which means to lead them to Christ and then teach them faith and the Word (Matthew 28:19-20). Jesus didn’t assign this responsibility to only those who are anointed to preach or to pastor; He appointed each and every one of us to disciple others. It was through salvation and discipleship that the members of the early Church changed the course of history.

As we disciple and teach as the Lord leads and guides us, we’re helping people grow and we’re helping to change the course of history, too. We’re helping to bring more of God’s peace to this world (Isaiah 54:13). Even if we’re only spending five minutes a week with someone, we’re planting a seed and seeds grow into harvests. Never underestimate how much you can affect others just by being obedient to the Word and discipling them. Even if you are a new Christian, you can teach someone something. If you would like to observe and learn more about discipling others, you can join a discipleship group through your local church, or even online through EMIC: http://emic.org/ministry/dg.

As you act on these two key ministries for every believer, step out in faith and be encouraged to start ministering to others as the Lord leads and guides you. Witnessing provides answers to a lost and hurting world, while discipling generates a strong Christian army ready to impact this world with love and peace. These two ministries were at the center of Jesus’ earthly ministry and are the heart of God’s kingdom. Jesus has called us to these ministries and we’re up!
