Topic: No Deposit—No Return
…Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, delighteth greatly in his commandments…. He shall not fear evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord. – Psalm 112:1,7
Are you ready to face a crisis? Don’t wait until one hit 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 and profoundly imprinted on the Word of God that their first response was not fear but faith.
What affected me most when I heard their testimony was one particular phrase they kept using:
No Deposit—No Return
They meant 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. A situation like this one this couple faced 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, they felt great peace. 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, weeks, ks, and months before when his parents listened to tapes, studied the Word, and prayed 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! Take your time with a crisis. Get the Word in your heart to flow out in power when you need it.
Remember: No deposit—no return.
