I said, "Sure it does. It's my house."

Praise God, you can have what you say. I'm still saying it.

We got the house. I had been paying $80 a month rent, but my payment after refinancing was only about $56, and the house now belonged to me. You can have what you say.

I remember, too, that the first year I was on the evangelistic field, the devil tried to shut off my finances.

After the first year was over, I would have been $1,200 better off in cash if I had stayed with the church I had pastored. In addition, the church furnished us with a parsonage and paid all our utility bills. Now I had to furnish my family with a place to live as well as pay for my traveling expenses.

By the end of that year, I had to sell my old car to try to get enough money to pay the interest on three loans I had.

I said, "Lord, something's wrong somewhere. I'm in Your will. I'm doing what You told me to do. If there was any doubt at all about it, I would go back to pastoring."

And I said, "You said in Your Word, 'If you be willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land'

(Isa. 1:19). I know that if you want us to eat the good, you want us to drive the good—the best. Here I've had to sell my automobile."

And the Lord said, "That text said, 'If you are willing and obedient.' You are obedient, but you have not been willing."

I got willing in a hurry. I said to Him, "Now I'm willing, and You know I'm willing. I've made an adjustment."

He said, "Yes, you are willing, but another trouble with you is that you don't practice what you preach."

I considered that a low blow. I said, "Why, Lord, what do You mean I don't practice what I preach?"

"Oh," He said, "you preach faith, but you don't practice faith."

I said, "What do you mean?"

He said, "When it comes to healing you do. You have always been healed, and your children have always received healing. Even when something is wrong with your body or you have symptoms, you will get right up and declare that you are healed. And it has never failed. But the principles of faith are the same in the realm of finances as they are in the realm of healing."

I said, "Thank You. Bless God, I'm going to buy a car. A good one."

I said to my wife, "I'm going to buy a car." I told her what the Lord said.

She said, "It looks like the silliest thing in the world for us to go buy an automobile and take on an $80-a-month payment when we haven't been meeting our budget. We haven't even been making the payments we've got to make."

When you act presumptuously, you will fall flat on your face and the devil will defeat you and defeat you badly. But when you act because you have a foundation of God's Word under you, you will defeat the devil in every combat.
