"For only we who believe God can enter into his place of rest" (Heb. 4:3 TLB).

When you're in a difficult situation and you need a miracle, locate what you believe. Do you believe what God's Word says? Or do you believe what people or circumstances say?

Hebrews 4:3 says, "We which have believed do enter into rest." Belief produces rest, and what you hear determines what you believe.

So if you see you haven't entered into the rest of faith, don't waste your time feeling condemned, discouraged or upset about it. Just realize your belief isn't yet strong enough to produce rest.

What do you do? Find out what the Word of God says about your situation. Search for Scriptures that cover your case. Feed on the Word at every opportunity because hearing produces belief.

Some people say, "Well, when I have time, I'll do that." But if you maintain that attitude, you'll never have time.

If you need healing, listen to good healing tapes again and again. Read good books on healing, such as "Christ the Healer" by F. F. Bosworth. Don't just read the books once and set them down; read them from cover to cover several times until you are full of the Word on healing. Then out of the abundance of your heart, your mouth will speak (Matt. 12:34). You'll find yourself saying, "It's so good to be healed!"

And when someone asks, "Do you feel better? Are the symptoms gone?" you'll say "I haven't checked yet, but I know I'm healed because the Bible said it. I don't care what anybody says. Because God says healing is mine, and I have whatever God says!"

Remember, hearing produces belief, belief produces rest and the rest of faith produces results!

Confession:
The Word of God is firmly lodged down in my heart,
and I enter into rest. God's Word is greater inside me than
what I see with my natural eye. It's so good to be healed!
