If you’ve been in a similar situation, the same is true for you. The Holy Spirit is waiting for you to give Him something to work with. He’s not holding back God’s BLESSINGS from you. He’s waiting for you to stop talking about how bad your circumstances are and how bad you feel, and start saying what God says. He’s waiting for you to believe and consistently declare God’s WORD.
“I know, Brother Copeland, but I just don’t have enough faith to do that. I need God to give me some more.”
No, you don’t. Every one of us, as believers, has the same “measure of faith” (Romans 12:3). We received it as the gift of God when we were born again (Ephesians 2:8). It’s God’s own faith and it is faith of the highest quality.
If it isn’t getting the job done in your life, you just need to develop it. You need to feed on The WORD (“Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God,” Romans 10:17) so that what the Apostle Paul said about the church at Thessalonica can be said about you: “Your faith groweth exceedingly” (2 Thessalonians 1:3).
Depending on how much attention you give The WORD, your faith can become stronger or it can become weaker. It can shrivel up, or it can grow. The choice is yours. God has already done His part. He gave you the faith and He gave you The WORD.
What happens now is up to you.
Feelings Don’t Have Anything to Do With It
“Well,” someone might say, “I know faith is important, but my problem is my job. It doesn’t pay me enough to get by—much less prosper. It’s keeping me broke and making me poor.”
No, your job isn’t the problem. Your mouth is the problem. The Bible says:
“A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth” (Proverbs 13:2).
“A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled” (Proverbs 18:20).
“Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof” (Proverbs 18:21).
