Have you ever been in the midst of a
faith stand when suddenly it seemed like your
faith just quit working?

Maybe you were believing God for healing
or financial deliverance or the salvation of
your family. Spiritually, everything was in
place. You found the scriptures that promised
you what you needed. You were firing off
confessions of faith like a machine gun.

But as time went by, your spiritual battery
began to weaken. The power you had when
you first took your stand began to wane, and
you developed a gnawing suspicion that
nothing would happen.

In desperation, you tried to shove those
doubts away by confessing louder and longer.
You frantically tried to force your faith to
work. But to no avail.

You wound up still sick, still broke, still
surrounded by unsaved relatives…and
wondering what went wrong.

In the end, you probably just chalked it
up as a faith failure.

But I’m about to tell you something that
will change your life if you’ll pay attention
to it. It certainly changed mine. It’s this: What
you experienced was not the failure of your
faith…it was a breakdown of your hope.
