Faith That Gets the Job Done
by Kenneth Copeland
Faith is designed by God to change things. So let me ask you: What has your faith been changing lately?
For those of us who consider ourselves WORD people, that’s a very important question. And if we truly believe God’s WORD, we’ll always have an answer. We’ll have stories to tell about how faith is moving mountains in our lives.
We’ll have testimonies to share about how God is pouring out His BLESSING, not only upon us but through us in wonderful ways.
If we don’t have any such things to report, it’s an indication we need a faith adjustment. Something is out of line. For one reason or another, our faith isn’t doing what God created it to do.
I began to understand this many years ago when I was on Oral Roberts’ ministry team and a man who’d been struggling with sickness asked Brother Roberts about it. “I just don’t understand this,” he said. “I can’t get my healing and I haven’t been able to figure out why. I know I’ve got faith. In fact, I’ve got all kinds of faith.”
“That’s the problem,” Brother Roberts replied. “You’ve still ‘got’ your faith. You need to release it so it can go to work and get the job done.”
In those days I was still spiritually wet behind the ears. I didn’t know much about faith at all. But the more I studied the Bible, the more I realized what Brother Roberts said is true: Faith, as powerful as it is, won’t accomplish anything as long as it’s just sitting inside us. For it to change things, we have to activate it and send it out on assignment. We have to release it.
