Yes, it has. You just need to stick with the program. Keep reading your Bible, listening to CDs and watching DVDs of The WORD being preached. Keep meditating on what God says and calling things that be not as though they were. Keep calling yourself well instead of sick; prosperous instead of broke; victorious rather than defeated. As you keep doing that, faith will keep coming. It will keep bubbling up in your spirit, rising higher and higher until it eventually overflows. Gloria refers to this as the point where “faith boils over.” I like that! It’s a good way to say it because in the natural, there’s no such thing as water that won’t boil. You heat it up to 212 degrees Fahrenheit, or 100 degrees Celsius, at sea level and it’s going to boil every time. It’s predictable because it’s a law, a law of physics. The same is true about faith. There’s no such thing as faith that doesn’t come. It works by spiritual law. If you keep heating it up with The WORD, it’s going to boil over and you’ll receive whatever you’ve been believing for. Once you receive it, though, if you’re going to have the spiritual strength to hang onto it, you have to keep feeding your faith. You can’t just go back to spending all your free time watching cop shows and cable news. If you do that, the devil and the contrary evidences of your senses will get the best of you. You’ll lose your grip on The WORD and God’s provision will slip away from you. Why? Because you’ve starved your faith. You haven’t given it enough to eat, so it can’t keep doing its job. Spiritual starvation is a serious thing. I saw that for myself through a vision God gave me back in 1967, when Gloria and I were at Oral Roberts University attending a partner meeting with my parents. During the meeting, Brother Roberts was laying hands on people and after he laid hands on me I stepped to the side and just watched as people came up for prayer. All of a sudden, right before my eyes, the physical bodies of the people disappeared. It’s like they became transparent and I could see their spirit on the inside of them. It was a heart-wrenching sight! Their spirits were horribly emaciated. They looked like the pictures you’ve seen of Holocaust victims in concentration camps. They were so malnourished, weak and sickly, they appeared to be almost dead. They had great big heads and frail, shriveled up spirits. ******* article continues on p. 8 ********** ********** ADVERTISEMENT ********** events FREE ADMISSION* New Year’s Eve Kenneth Copeland // Dec. 31, 7 p.m. Newark, Texas Eagle Mountain International Church emic.org * * * * * * * * * * * * * San Diego, Calif. : Jan. 4 2018 Morris Cerullo Legacy World Conference mcwe.com (registration fee required if not a San Diego resident) Murrieta, Calif. : Jan. 5 World Harvest Church : dufresneministries.org North Miami Beach, Fla. : Feb. 23-25 Word of His Power Conference : wordsoflife.com Brother Copeland on the Mountain—Winter 2018 Newark, Texas / Feb. 28-March 2 Eagle Mountain International Church New Albany, Ohio : March 7 Faith Life Church : faithlifechurch.org Victory Campaign Branson, Mo. / April 5-7 Victory Campaign Lima, Peru / May 18-19 Victory Campaign Sacramento, Calif. / May 31-June 2 Southfield, Mich. : June 15-16 Word of Faith Convention : woficc.com Brother Copeland on the Mountain—Summer 2018 Newark, Texas / June 27-29 Eagle Mountain International Church Victory Campaign Honiara, Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands July 12-14 Southwest Believers’ Convention / Fort Worth, Texas July 30-Aug. 4 Hidden Springs, Ariz. : Aug. 17 Healing of the Nations Motorcycle Rally cofaz.org Brooklyn Park, Minn. : Aug. 23-24 2018 Upper Midwest Faith Explosion : lwcc.org Victory Campaign Orlando, Fla. / Aug. 30-Sept. 1 Victory Campaign Washington, D.C. / Nov. 8-10 info kcm.org/events 1-800-600-7395 (U.S. only) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Meetings with Pastor George and /or Terri Pearsons Miracles on the Mountain Services with Billy Burke Newark, Texas / Feb. 16-17 Eagle Mountain International Church Radiant Women’s Conference Fort Worth, Texas / May 4-5 Built to Last Men’s Conference Newark, Texas / Sept. 28-29 Eagle Mountain International Church * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * YOUTH MEETING // 14forty Spring Retreat 2018 Waxahachie, Texas / March 11-14 *Except where a fee is noted Schedule is subject to change without notice.
