They took their stand of faith, refusing to be double-minded. They meditated on the Word until their house became a reality in their hearts. They believed God’s Word more than what they could see or feel, never underestimating the creative power of their faith-filled words. They released their faith while living in Tulsa. According to Gloria, she did not realize that the construction of her first dream house in Fort Worth started the very moment she began believing God. “Let there be a house! And there was a house.” Gloria’s Three Revelations It took a while before they received that house. In the meantime, The LORD gave Gloria three revelations. This scenario fits perfectly with Proverbs 14:1 that says, “Every wise woman buildeth her house.” The first was, "The Revelation of Divine Prosperity." The LORD showed Gloria that she could believe for divine prosperity in the same way she could believe for divine health. Both blessings already belonged to her. Jesus bore her poverty and lack in the same way He bore her sickness and disease. We should refuse lack just as quickly as we refuse sickness. Gloria writes, “If you make up your mind—make a quality decision—that you are not willing to live in lack, but that you are willing to live in divine prosperity and abundance, Satan cannot stop the flow of God’s financial blessings.” Next was, "The Revelation of Peace and Prosperity." Isaiah 53:5 says, “The chastisement of our peace was upon him.” God tells us in Isaiah 48:17-18 (AMP) that He is “the Lord your God, Who teaches you to profit, Who leads you in the way that you should go. Oh, that you had hearkened to My commandments! Then your peace and prosperity would have been like a flowing river.” Peace and prosperity go hand in hand. Gloria realized that her prosperity had already been provided. It was hers now. “By faith, we need to rest in the receiving of our homes.” The third thing The LORD showed her was, "The Revelation of Dominion and Authority." He revealed to Gloria that she had the same authority over the earth that Adam had in the Garden of Eden. Genesis 1:28 (AMP) says, “And God blessed them and said to them, Be fruitful, multiply, and fill 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 and 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 off. They took possession of their “beautiful, debt-free house.” As for Terri and me, our circumstances were different, but the faith principles remained the same. Here is the short version. We owned a home, paid it off 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. *****ADVERTISEMENT****** There’s no place like home!
