glory by Christ Jesus. He has said by Jesus' stripes I was healed" (see Philippians 4:19; 1 Peter 2:24). This is how we overcome when we're facing a collision between the low laws of this fallen world and the high laws of God. When on one hand we're facing some kind of financial or physical attack, and on the other hand we see what the Scriptures say about prosperity and healing, we take our stand on our covenant. We put God's higher laws into effect by believing and saying what He says, despite what our physical senses might be telling us. "But Brother Copeland!" someone might say, "I just don't have that kind of faith." Sure, you do. You got it when you were born again. As Ephesians 2:8 says, "By grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God." God gave you faith as a gift at the moment of your new birth and it hasn't gone away. It's still there on the inside of you and it's of the highest quality. It's God's own faith! Supercharge Your Faith e question is what are you doing with it? Are you just letting your faith sit dormant, or are you feeding it, developing it and putting it to work? One way you can tell is by listening to what you're saying. According to Romans 10:6-10: The righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) But what saith it? e word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; at if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Faith doesn't say things like, "Oh Jesus, I'm hurting so bad, I need You to appear to me. I need to feel Your hand on my fevered brow so I can get rid of this doubt and receive my healing." at's not how faith talks. Faith says, "The WORD of God is near me, in my mouth and heart, that is the word of faith which we preach." Notice the emphasis there is on the preached WORD. There's something extremely powerful about the word of faith you hear preached. It has a way of getting into your heart and your mouth. Certainly, reading and studying the Scriptures on your own is important, but receiving e WORD from someone who's preaching it by the power of the Holy Spirit can strengthen your faith as nothing else can. is is the reason Romans 10:15, 17 says, "How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel…. So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God," and Hebrews 10:25 tells us not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together. It's when we get under the anointed preaching of The WORD that our faith really surges. Gloria and I can testify to this from experience. We've not only preached faith ourselves, we've continually listened to others preach faith for almost 50 years now, and we can tell you, anointed preaching will supercharge your faith. So make sure you get plenty of it. Go to a good church where e WOR D is preached ever y week. At tend Bel ie ver s' C onvent ions. Tune in often to WOR D-packed TV broadcasts like those you'll find on the Believer's Voice of Victory Network. Activate the law of faith in your life constantly by hearing The WORD preached, and keeping that WORD in your heart and mouth. Then you won't have to wonder when you wake up in the morning what God is going to do for you today. You can wake up every single day knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt, He's going to do what He said! 3 0 : B V O V I WALK IN TRUTH, IN THE LIGHT OF GOD'S WORD, ACCORDING TO HIS WAYS AND HIS WISDOM.
