He just kept believing what God said and putting it in his mouth. Less than a year later his son Isaac was born. God works the same way with us. He gives us His Word so that we can believe it and speak it. As we do, our faith gives substance to it. The blessings God has stored up for us in the heavenly realm are transferred to the earthly realm, where we can walk in them and enjoy them. I will warn you, however, that when you start operating like Abraham did, people who are worldly in their thinking may react to you a lot like people did in his day. They might not appreciate your spirit of faith. When they hear you calling things that be not as though they were, they might even say you're crazy. But really, that's a compliment. If people who operate like the world considered you to be normal, you'd be in trouble. The world follows after the devil and walks in darkness. People in the world live looking at and talking from only the seen realm. If they get sick, they talk sickness. They tell everybody they know, "I feel terrible. My head hurts. My body aches…." They just keep talking about what's happening in the natural because that's all they know. We as believers are very diƒ erent. We follow after God and walk in the light. We know something people in the world don't know because we have the Word of God. We can look into that Word at the unseen and talk from that realm. We can receive into our hearts what God said, believe it, put it in our mouths, and it will come to pass in our lives. Of course, God's promises won't always come to pass for us overnight. It may take time. Some of the big things Ken and I have believed for took years to manifest. But you know what? They were worth the wait! What you're believing to receive from God will be worth the wait as well. His blessings always are. So, as Hebrews 10:35 says: "Cast not away…your confi dence, which hath great recompence of reward." Be patient and keep checking your spiritual gas gauge. Stay full of God's Word and the spirit of faith and receive all the good things God has laid up for you! A Wonderful Cure This is the secret to staying full of the spirit of faith: Live looking at God's Word! If you keep your heart full of His Word, you'll be able to keep it in your mouth as well. Rather than focusing on the seen realm, you'll be able to look into the unseen realm and declare by faith, "This is what God says, and so it shall be!" This is a wonderful cure for anything that's wrong in your life. It will release the power of God to go to work in your circumstances and change them. What's more, it will release the power of God to go to work to change you! If in the natural, you have an inferiority complex, for example, when you begin to see yourself as God says you are, you begin to change the way you think. His Word takes root in you, and you stop seeing yourself as inferior. In fact, you stop seeing yourself at all. Instead, you see God! He's the One who is great and wonderful, and He says you've been born again in His image. He's the One who meets your needs and heals your body. God is the One who makes up the diƒ erence for your weaknesses and brings you to the place He planned for you to be. When you start seeing yourself in Him, according to His Word and His promises, you become like Abraham. You've probably read about him. God told him when he was around 100 years old that his 90-year-old barren wife was going to bear him a son. At the same time, God changed his name from Abram to Abraham. Abraham means "father of many nations." So, from then on, that's what Abraham called himself. He believed God and, as Romans 4:17 says, he called "those things which be not as though they were." When people asked him how he was, he said, "Oh, I'm fi ne! I'm father of many nations." People most likely made fun of him for it. They probably laughed behind his back and said, "He's an old man, his wife is an old woman, and they've never had any children. Now he's changing his name? Father of many nations? Yeah…right." Abraham, however, wasn't moved by the
