we have received from Kenneth and Gloria Copeland over all these years. They are visionaries who have taught us to see the written WORD of God manifest in our lives. It really does take faith to be able to see the fulfi llment of our vision. As I heard Brother Copeland say years ago, "Every step is a step of faith." Steady In Troubled Times The Word of God will hold you steady in times of trouble. An unbreakable, divine covenant, it's lled with promises of victory sworn to you in the precious blood of Jesus that will empower you to triumph every time. REMIND THE DEVIL THAT GOD'S PROMISES TO YOU HAVE BEEN RATIFIED IN JESUS' BLOOD. (REV. 12:10-11) MEDITATE ON THE FACT THAT JESUS' BLOOD CANCELS ALL SATAN'S CLAIMS ON YOU. (COL. 2:14-15) WHEN THE DEVIL ACCUSES YOU, PLEAD THE BLOOD OF JESUS. (HEB. 10:14) DON'T JUST TALK ABOUT YOUR BLOOD COVENANT WITH GOD, WALK IN IT BY COMMITTING YOURSELF FULLY TO HIS PLAN. (ROM. 12:1) WHEN THE STORMS OF LIFE THREATEN TO SHAKE YOU, USE GOD'S WORD TO ANCHOR YOUR SOUL. (HEB. 6:17-19) B V O V : 1 1 STEP No. 4—Don't give up! Habakkuk 2:3 (AMPC) says, "For the vision is yet for an appointed time and it hastens to the end [fulfi llment]; it will not deceive or disappoint. Though it tarry, wait [earnestly] for it, because it will surely come; it will not be behindhand on its appointed day." Galatians 6:9 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" (AMPC). Kenneth and Gloria have had many opportunities to give up. However, they have held fast and haven't quit. And, look what The LORD has done over these 57 years of ministry! STEP No. 5—Keep walking by faith! Vision is sight. It is the ability to see what others don't see. It is the ability to see beyond natural limitations. For example, The LORD spoke to Abram regarding his ability to see into the spirit. He said, Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are—northward, southward, eastward, and westward; for all the land which you see I give to you and your descendants forever. And I will make your descendants as the dust of the earth; so that if a man could number the dust of the earth, then your descendants also could be numbered. Arise, walk in the land through its length and its width, for I give it to you (Genesis 13:14-17, New King James Version). There are visionaries throughout history who were able to see what others could not see. When Disney World fi rst opened in October 1971, Walt Disney's wife, Lillian, was asked to speak at the grand opening. Disney died in December 1966. When she was introduced, someone said to her, "Mrs. Disney, I just wish Walt could have seen this." Lillian Disney stood and replied, "He did." Hebrews 11:1 (AMPC) says, "Now faith is the assurance (the confi rmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses]." Habakkuk 2:4 tells us, "The just shall live by his faith." I am so thankful for the teaching of faith WORDS OF FAITH WORDS OF FAITH W
