fi ll the earth, and subdue it [using all its vast resources]." "While we were standing in faith for the money to pay for our first house, the Lord reminded me of this scripture and revealed to me that every material thing here came from the earth's vast resources—every piece of lumber, brick a nd glass, the concrete, and the mortar. There was nothing in the makeup of our house that had not come from the earth's resources. I had the right to take authority over it and receive it as mine in the Name of Jesus." Stand Your Ground It took six years of standing their ground and continually acting on The WORD. But the day finally came when their faith paid o . They took possession of their "beautiful, debt-free house." As for Terri and me, our circumstances were dif ferent , but t he fa it h pr inciples remained the same. Here is the short version. We owned a home, paid it o and sowed it into a family. We then borrowed the money to buy our next house. On a worldwide TV broadcast of Believer's Voice of Victory, Brother Copeland asked me why I went back into debt. As a result, Terri and I made the quality decision to live debt free. We eventually sold the house and bought another. The LOR D worked out a way for us to purchase the new house without having to borrow the money. It took less than one year to pay off the house. And, it took four more years to renovate it by using cash. In the meantime, we lived in severa l renta l properties. T h r ou g hout ou r f ive y e a r s a nd t he Copelands' six years, we all had to stand our ground. Ga latians 6:9 (AMPC) tells us to "not lose heart and grow weary and faint in acting nobly and doing right, for in due time and at the appointed season we shall reap, if we do not loosen and relax our courage and faint." There were times when we wou ld get discouraged, wondering if we would ever move into our house. But we determined to "not lose hea r t a nd g row wea r y." We continued to stand on The WORD and keep our eyes focused on the desired result. We refused to give up and quit. We were thankful for the quality decision to pay for and renovate the house debt free. We averted a 30-year mortgage, having to pay thousands of dollars in interest, and did not have to bow our knee to a lender. You are only one decision away from your debt-free house. Simply make the same qua lity decision that Kenneth and Gloria, Terri and I made years ago. Take your strong stand of faith in God's WORD. Believe and receive Psalm 107:7 (T he Message) t hat says, " He put your feet on a wonderful road that took you straight to a good place to live." Say this out loud right now. "I speak to my house in the Name of Jesus and command it to come to me! No matter how long it takes, I am standing my ground, walking by faith a nd holding fast to The WOR D. I refuse to give up and quit. I believe I receive my beautiful, debt-free house NOW!"
