WORDS of FAITH
With God’s WORD on your lips, you can do the works of Jesus and come through every challenge as more than a conqueror.
When Jesus was on earth, He did everything by the power of God’s words. John 5:19, 8:28, 14:10
As a believer, you’re called to do the works of Jesus by using the same process of hearing and speaking God’s words. John 14:12
To receive God’s wisdom, simply ask for it in faith. James 1:5-6
Spend time in The WORD and in prayer, believing to receive revelation from The LORD. Mark 11:24
You can hear what God is saying about every situation because the Holy Spirit is dwelling within you. John 16:13

I was clear, of course, on what God’s WORD says about my body. It says I was healed by the stripes of Jesus (1 Peter 2:24). So, determined to go to the meeting, I asked Gloria to give me some help. She got up in the middle of the bed with me, caught me by the hair to keep me upright, and shaved my face with an electric razor. Then she got me dressed and, with a little help from the friends with whom we were staying, she got me to the car.
When it came time for me to preach I had to hold on to the pulpit so I wouldn’t fall down. I read the text for my message, which was on healing (What else am I going to preach on at a time like that?). Then I stopped and said to the congregation, “I’ll be right back.”
While they waited and wondered what was going on, I went into the choir room right behind the auditorium and hammered satan with The WORD. “You can’t put this on me,” I said. “I am in Christ and He is in me and I am the healed of The LORD!” Then I prayed briefly in other tongues and went back into the service.
Grabbing the pulpit again, I started preaching and before long every symptom was gone! I preached on healing for over two hours that morning. Since I knew that’s what satan was trying to stop, I not only put him under my feet but I stomped around on him for a while and thoroughly enjoyed it. Actually, like the scripture says, he fled!
This is how we as believers are supposed to live—with The WORD of God on our lips and every step a step of faith!
“But I tried that faith stuff, Brother Copeland, and it didn’t work.”
On the contrary, that faith stuff tried you and you didn’t work.
I don’t mean that as an insult. It’s simply the truth. God’s WORD will work for anyone who will put it to work. He’ll move heaven and earth if necessary to bring it to pass. So forget the failures of the past and stick with His program. Find out what He’s saying and keep saying what He says.
Your faith-filled words will make things happen. They will dominate the laws of sin and death! V
