“As Jesus commanded, I forgive everyone who’s wronged me in any way. It’s not my will to hold anything against anyone. If I have any grain of unforgiveness left in my heart, LORD, please reveal it to me and I’ll instantly forgive. I know You’ve forgiven me for any trespasses in my life and I receive that forgiveness now.
“From this point forward, Sir, this is my covenant commitment with You. I will never change. I will never quit. This is my confession: I am healed of infertility and my desire for a baby has been granted. I take it and I thank and praise You for it. Amen.”
“Is receiving from God by faith really that simple?” you might ask.
Yes, it is. It’s extremely simple.
It’s not necessarily easy, however, and here’s why: The praying isn’t all there is to it. It’s only the beginning. To complete the faith process, while you’re waiting for the manifestation of what you’ve prayed and believed for, you must maintain your faith confession and add corresponding action to it.
That means, in the case of believing for a baby, you wake up every morning saying, “Praise God, we’re going to have a baby in this house!” You go to bed every night saying, “LORD, I want to thank You, Sir, that we’re going to have a baby!”
If you’re worrying or wondering why it’s taking so long, STOP IT!
Never, ever, ever put up with fear! The minute you catch it creeping in, kick it out and keep it out with The WORD of God. Look up all the baby scriptures you can find. Read them and meditate on them at every opportunity. The WORD of God is food to your spirit. It feeds and strengthens your faith like bread feeds and strengthens the physical body. (See Matthew 4:4.)
Trying Isn’t Believing
“But Brother Copeland,” someone might say, “I have been feeding on The WORD and so far nothing has happened. My spouse and I keep trying and trying but we just can’t seem to conceive a child.”
Then quit trying!
Trying isn’t believing. As long as you’re trying, you’re not in faith. Faith rests. It doesn’t struggle to produce results by works. It relaxes in God’s grace.
