Have More Faith In God's Word Than In Your Problems!

"Faith -Bible Faith- is a matter of making a choice to believe God's Word rather than the problems that confront you. Yes, you will have to stand on God's Word until the problems come in line with the Word. But you don't have to be defeated by problems and negative circumstances!

And sometimes standing on the Word in the midst of trails requires some perseverance and patience. But having done all to stand on God's Word, then begin declaring your faith: 'God said it. I believe it! Therefore, I receive my petition according to the Word of God, and I count it as done!'

When you can't see your answer, feel it, touch it, or taste it - you must still stand on God's Word, praising Him that He has already answered your prayers! That's real faith in God. Thank God, He will meet your every need... But strong faith believes God even when things go wrong and the pressures of life seem to press in on every side. And your faith in God will always be rewarded by victory if you'll just persevere in God!"
