Sadly however, a lot of believers never do that. They might release their faith for something small, something they can reasonably expect to happen. They might believe God to help them make their house payment. But they never go out beyond what they consider “reasonable.” They don’t go on and believe, for instance, for the money to pay off their entire 30-year mortgage. I understand, of course, everyone has to start where they are. Ken and I had to do that ourselves. When we first started walking with God we just believed Him for the money to make payments, because at the time, given the mountain of debt we owed, even payment-faith was a stretch for us. After we really got into the Word though, we began believing God to get us out of debt completely. We began tithing faithfully and giving offerings. Eleven months later, even though in the natural we hadn’t been able to figure out how it could happen, we were completely debt free. Today we live in a home that’s beyond anything I could have dreamed of in those days, and we’ve never owed anything on it. We’ve also been able to pay off a lot of things for other people. God has multiplied our resources so much that we’re able to sow more now than we once could have imagined having. We truly are unreasonably blessed! Let God’s Word Pull You Up to His Level I can confirm from experience, though, that moving out into this kind of blessing does require you to get out beyond what you can reason. You can’t do it by basing your praying and your faith on just what you can see in this natural realm, or what you think logically might be able to happen. You have to base your faith on the ability of God. You have to focus on what His Word says and let it pull you up to His level. One thing that helps me to do that is reading and meditating on true events in the Bible when God supernaturally prospered His people. Times when, in the face of seemingly impossible circumstances, He provided them with more than they could ask or think. I especially like to read about how God miraculously provided for the Israelites. As I’ve already mentioned, He did all kinds of amazing things for them! When they were in the wilderness, where there was nothing to eat, He fed them supernaturally by pouring out manna from heaven every day. When they got tired of manna, and cried out for meat, He was able to supply that for them too. * * * * article continues on p. 28 * * * * ********** ADVERTISEMENT ********** 2019 : Coming to You From The REVIVAL CAPITAL of the WORLD Eagle Mountain International Church Hosted by Pastors George Pearsons & Terri Copeland Pearsons Kenneth Copeland and YOU FEB. 28-MARCH 2 STIR UP YOUR FAITH Join Kenneth Copeland at a live TV taping as he shares a powerful word from God. kcm.org/kcyou * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Miracles on the Mountain MARCH 29-30 COME AND RECEIVE YOUR HEALING Two-day, miracle-healing event with healing evangelist Billy Burke kcm.org/miracles19 BOTH EVENTS FREE Eagle Mountain International Church Kenneth Copeland Ministries Headquarters 14355 Morris-Dido Road Newark, Texas 76071 ****************************************** BVOV : 27
