You may say, “Well, Brother, I believe in telling things like they are.”
You won’t ever see any growth in your life then, because spiritual things grow as words are released. That’s God’s way.
Charles Capps said the one who “tells things like they are” is like the guy who went out on the porch to give his dog a bone. When he got out there, he found the dog wasn’t there—just the cat. So he started saying, “Here kitty, kitty, kitty.”
His neighbor said, “I thought you wanted to give that bone to the dog.”
“I did,” answered his friend, “but I like to say it like it is—and the cat, not the dog, is the one that’s here.”
Don’t be like that guy. Call the dog. He’ll come. Water your seed with words of faith. Don’t call poverty if you don’t want poverty. Call yourself prosperous. Call that need met. Before long, you’ll be so full of joy and so full of expectancy that even the watering will be fun!
Find good soil. Plant the seed. Water it. Then as Mark 4:27 says, all you have to do is “sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up....”
“But I don’t understand how that works!” you say.
It doesn’t matter. Just do it. Plant and water. Sleep and rise. Sure enough, one of these mornings you’ll wake up to an abundant harvest! V

steady in troubled times
The WORD of God will hold you steady in times of trouble. An unbreakable, divine covenant, it’s filled with promises of victory sworn to you in the precious blood of Jesus that will empower you to triumph every time.
