I’ve been hearing in my spirit for some time now, ”Step over the line of faith.” What does that mean? It means I have faith in God, and this situation is now behind me.

Have you ever seen such a mess? Everywhere you look, people are doing one dumb thing after another. The word for it is confusion. Everyone has a different idea, and none of them work.

What do we do now? The same as we always do: HAVE FAITH IN GOD! This is no time to start looking somewhere else for answers. Jesus is still THE answer. He hasn’t changed. He hasn’t left. He hasn’t quit, and He never will.

It is time to restudy, rethink and recommit ourselves to THE God who paid the price to make this freedom available to all men. It is not His will for any man to live in hell—not here on earth, and not in the hereafter.

There has never, ever been a time when we need Jesus more than now. Men, trying to do things without Him, have created this monster of a mess all around us.

Actually, when you think about it, there haven’t been any good times since sin and death came into the world. So, does that mean we just have to put up with hard and troubled times until we die and go to heaven? No! Absolutely not.

The dictionary calls a hurricane, “any violent tempest.” That term is used to describe this storm in three separate verses. They sailed into a hurricane and couldn’t break out of it.

"I believe, I will, I take being exalted above all these cares; I have it! I thank You, Jesus, for Your mighty grace. I am perfected. I am established. I am strengthened, I am settled. I don’t have a care! To God be the glory!”

It is abundantly clear that our job is faith—faith in God to always have all sufficiency in all things. Not just so we can get through all this death and destruction, but so we abound to every good work (2 Corinthians 9:8).

I am writing this letter only a few days after the dynamic homegoing of my spiritual father, Oral Roberts. As you can imagine, memories and thoughts of my time with him are flowing from my spirit.

God, our Father, looking through the eyes of Grace, sees no difference and hears no difference between you and Jesus. 

Have you ever had your faith just go flat?

All need. All supply. One source! By Christ—the Anointing of—Jesus. This must become our way of thinking, not mixed up with the covetousness and “me-first” thinking of the world.

Some time ago I wrote to you about a powerful word of instruction and direction from the Lord concerning the financial mess this country and the rest of the world is in. Early in the morning of October 19, 2008, the Lord got me up to give me this word: 

Not long ago, when I was dealing with a situation in my physical body, the Lord led me to go back to Mark 11:22-25 and put the Words of Jesus in my mouth. So I did that. I took each verse and read it aloud. 

I get so thrilled with His great grace, it all but overwhelms me. It does overwhelm me from time to time. Like right now! Gloria and I, and every member of our family, know that we have the greatest Partners of any ministry on earth. 

My, how the Word comes alive when it’s put to work in the midst of a hard time or place. Especially when we’re surrounded with bad news, gross failure and defeat. 

Have you ever seen and heard such confusion? Every day, day in and day out, one thing after another—failure, doom, we’re-right-they’re-wrong, what now, we don’t know….

For the past several weeks the same phrase has been going over and over from my spirit to my mind and out my mouth: “Isaac sowed in famine and reaped a hundredfold the same year.” 

I want us to look at a key scripture today that will be of great help in the middle of all this whirl of ideas, reports, media junk, Wall Street junk, and all the other stuff flying around these days about the economy.
