Faith Stands, Rejoices, and Rests

One time somebody said to me: "I had symptoms of sickness. I meditated the Word and let it create an image on the canvas of my heart. Once I began to see myself healed, I talked the image. Over and over I confessed, 'By His stripes I am healed.' Next, I started acting healed. I've got only one problem: I'm still sick! What do I do now?"

I told him that he needed to learn how to put the full cycle of faith into operation. Faith sees, speaks, and acts; but it also stands, rejoices, and rests. Once you get a revelation of this, you will never be defeated again.

Faith Stands

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Ephesians 6:10-17

When you have seen the image, spoken it, and acted accordingly, but the circumstances haven't changed, put on the whole armor of God and stand.

When you are in trouble, God hears you. So you must keep standing on His Word, regardless of the circumstances.

The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;

Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;

Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah. Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.

We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the Lord fulfil all thy petitions. Now know I that the Lord saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.

They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.

Save, Lord: let the king hear us when we call.

Psalm 20

Notice again: They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright. When everything around you indicates that you can't possibly win, stand.

In the life of faith, there is no room for compromise. If you say, "I'll try this, but if it doesn't work, I can always use plan B," you will always end up using plan B.
