technology (abilities and answers), and they're getting the world's results. They're looking to the outside instead of looking on the inside. It is on the inside that right now, you as a believer have everything you will ever need and everything God has ever promised. The extra $500 a month you need for your family is in there. The new car you need is in there. The healing you need, the answers you need, the miracles you need—all of them are right there in your heart. God Himself lives in you. He came to dwell there the moment you were born again—and He is the Source of all things. His Spirit is a wellspring of life, bubbling up continually within you. And unlike the wells of the world, this one never runs dry! Jesus Himself assured us of that in John 4 where He said, "Whosoever drinketh of this [natural world's] water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life" (verses 13-14). Just think about that! Through the supernatural spring of His Spirit, God is continually imparting to us strength and power, guidance and counsel. He is providing us with a reservoir that will keep us fully supplied, not according to the meager resources of this earth, but according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). All we have to do is step into the Holy Spirit's fl ow and we'll have everything we need. Believers should never have to paddle around in the natural stream of things trying to keep their heads above water as the circumstances and shortages of the world drag them under. Instead of going with the fl ow of natural, worldly things, we should all start going with the fl ow of the Spirit instead. From the Desert to the River Yielding to that supernatural fl ow begins with hearing and obeying the Word of God— putting that Word in our hearts and bringing it out of our mouths consistently, as God instructed us in Proverbs 4:20-23: "My son, attend to my words; consent and submit to my sayings. Let them not depart from your sight; keep them in the center of your heart. For they are life to those who fi nd them, healing and health to all their fl esh. Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it fl ow the springs of life" (Amplifi ed Bible, Classic Edition). If you're attending to God's Word, when you have a problem you won't think of going to the world fi rst. You'll go to the Word. You'll fi nd out what God has promised to do for you. Once you've found that promise, you'll put it in your heart. You'll believe it. You'll speak it. Then faith will come alive inside you. Once faith comes alive concerning that situation, the power of God will explode in your heart and you'll start walking in victory. Though everything in the natural world may look just as dark as it ever did, and everyone may still be telling you how impossible your situation is, it won't matter. You'll know you've stepped out of the stream of circumstances and into the river of God. And once God's river starts to fl ow from within you, the whole natural realm has to yield to it. Bad situations, poverty, sickness and lack of any kind must bow their knees to His supernatural supply! I'll never forget how desperate Ken and I were when we fi rst tapped into that supernatural fl ow. We were so broke and so in debt it seemed we'd never get out. Ken was a student at Oral Roberts University and we lived in a dumpy, old house furnished in early Goodwill. People were threatening to sue us, and we had a history of failing fi nancially at everything we tried to do. We hadn't set out to mess things up. We had gotten into that terrible shape by fl owing with the natural forces of this world. We had done the best we could, but the defeat and lack (what the Bible calls the "curses") of the world had overtaken us. Then one day, the Word of God came to me. He didn't speak to me in an audible voice. He just quickened a scripture to my 2 8 : B V O V Learn how to walk confi dently with the Lord every day.
