Weeping with what I later realized was the compassion of God, I said, “LORD, what is this?”
'These are My people,' He said. 'Their spirits have been starved. Their heads are full of religious knowledge at the expense of their spirit man.'
“Oh, God!” I cried. “Why did You show this to me?”
'I’ve called you and anointed you to do something about it,' He answered.
I saw right then I had to obey God and fulfill that assignment—and that’s what I’ve been doing ever since. I’ve been teaching people how to develop their faith. I’ve been feeding them The WORD of God and helping them keep it in front of their eyes, in their ears, and in their mouths until it fills their spirits to the point of overflow.
Brother Roberts used to talk about the point of overflow as the moment when faith comes to a climax. He used to give the example of the woman with the issue of blood and said that the moment her faith climaxed, she touched the hem of Jesus’ garment and—boom!—she received her healing.
How do you know in your own life when that moment has come?
The best way I can answer that is by telling you what my mama told me when I was a youngster and I asked her, “How will I know when I fall in love?”
“You’ll know,” she said.
That’s the way it is with faith. You just keep putting The WORD in your heart and, although for a while nothing may appear to be happening, one day you sense a stirring in your spirit. Like water starting to boil in a pot, little faith bubbles start to erupt, and suddenly you know that you know that you know that what The WORD says is yours.
You can see yourself with it.
You’ve got a grip on it in your spirit.
You’re not wondering anymore if God is ever going to do anything about meeting your need, you’re fully persuaded He’s already done it, and you can declare it with confidence.
“It’s mine! I take it now!” V
