Are you ready to face a crisis? Don't wait until one hits to find out. Prepare yourself now.
That's
what a couple of my Partners did. They faced a situation that would
have made many people panic. But when the crisis hit, their hearts were
so deeply established on the Word of God that their first response was
not one of fear but of faith.
What affected me most when I heard their testimony was one particular phrase they kept using:
No Deposit—No Return
What
they meant by that was that if you don't take the time to deposit the
Word in your heart now, it won't be there later when you really need it.
You'll end up in a crisis with only doubt and unbelief instead of the
faith and power you need to see you through. In a situation like the one
this couple faced, that could be deadly.
You see, their
2-year-old son had suffered a fall that had cracked his skull and
critically injured his neck. He had no feeling in his arms and legs and
was unable to move. Yet as they rushed him to the emergency room, a
great sense of peace rested on them. Rather than crying with fear, they
prayed in faith and declared, "By Jesus' stripes, our son is healed!"
Sure enough, within hours, their boy was totally restored. Even the X-rays verified the fact that a miracle had taken place.
What's
important to understand about that story is this: The victory was not
won when the damage to that little boy's body disappeared. It was won
all during the days and weeks and months before when his parents were
listening to tapes and studying the Word and praying in the spirit. It
was won because these people had spent time building a foundation on the
Word so that when this storm came, they were able to stand.
Now
is the time for you to build a rock-solid foundation! Don't wait around
until you're faced with a crisis. Get the Word in your heart in
abundance now, so when you really need it, it will flow out in power.
Remember: No deposit—no return.
Start making those precious deposits today!
