Jesus tells us how the God-kind of faith works in Mark 11:23. “Whosoever shall say…and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.”
God found a woman in Mary who said, “Behold (look), You have found her. You have found the one. Be it done according to thy word.” According to feelings? No. According to thy word. The Word was God, and Jesus was the Word made flesh.
It was the Word that was made flesh. Mary conceived the Word of God in her heart; then she went to Elisabeth’s house and told her, “He hath done great things” (Luke 1:49).
How did she know? Because the angel of the Lord had told her, and she received that Word.
Do you think she felt any different? No. Do you think she looked any different? No. What was her evidence? Faith and her words! “He hath done great things.” The Word said she was filled with the Holy Ghost, and she began to prophesy. She had conceived the Word of God in her spirit.
Here is what the Spirit of God said to me about that situation: “Mary conceived the Word sent to her by the angel (God’s Word) and conceived it in the womb of her spirit. Once it was conceived in her spirit, it manifested itself in her physical body. She received and conceived the Word of God in her spirit.”
If she had said, “Forget it, it won’t work,” God would have had to find another woman. But notice Mary’s words, “He hath done great things.”
She accepted God’s Word. She believed God’s Word.
Theologians say it couldn’t possibly have happened because they want to place it in the biological realm. The Bible didn’t say she conceived in any other way. It said, “The Word was made flesh” (John 1:14). The embryo in Mary’s womb was nothing but the pure Word of God – and it took flesh upon itself.
The Word of God, Jesus Christ, was born in the earth. The Living Word of God (Jesus) was the Word personified – the Word of God in flesh form! And how did it happen? A woman dared believe and say that she was the woman: “Yes, I believe You. Behold, You have found her.”
The Lord said to me, “My Word will get people healed and filled with the Holy Ghost the same way that the miraculous conception took place! Any believer can conceive My Word concerning healing in their spirits, and healing will manifest itself in their physical bodies!
They can conceive My Word concerning prosperity of finances, and prosperity will manifest itself in their business affairs. If they will conceive My Word concerning the baptism of the Holy Spirit, it will manifest itself in their spirits.

Charles Capps is a retired farmer, land developer, and Bible teacher who has traveled extensively throughout the United States and several foreign countries sharing the truths of God's Word. He has taught Bible seminars for over 35 years, emphasizing the authority of the believer, faith and the power of words.
Charles and Peggy both have their roots in the rich farmland of Lonoke County, Arkansas. Having been raised by parents who were farmers, Charles began farming cotton, soybeans, and rice immediately after graduating from high school and marrying in 1951.
Peggy, being 3 1/2 months older than Charles had to sign as the adult on his behalf when he wanted to begin flying lessons at the age of 17. They joined an organization known as the Flying Farmers and gained experience going to "fly-ins" and national meetings across the United States. Neither knew that this skill of flying would be such an asset later when Charles began teaching personal evangelism in the 1960's. He spoke on the subject of soulwinning in churches not only in the US, but flew his twin engine Piper Comanche to the Bahamas to teach students of Youth With a Mission how to share Christ with others.
After reading a book by Kenneth E. Hagin entitled, "Authority of the Believer", Charles and Peggy's life took on a new dimension of travel and ministry as Charles became known for his teaching gift and insight on the subjects of faith and confession. Invitations to minister to the Full Gospel Businessmen's Fellowship International (FGBMFI) began to pour in, eventually leading to the publication of his teachings in book form. "The Tongue a Creative Force" and "God's Creative Power(r) Will Work for You" became bestsellers after Buddy Harrison, Kenneth Hagin's son in law, launched his publishing company with these two classics. These two books have sold millions (the God's Creative Power(r) series has sold over 5 million copies) and are still much in demand today.
We celebrated Charles' promotion to heaven at 5:15 pm Sunday, February 23, 2014. He informed the family and close friends on Friday that he would be going home to heaven in 3 days. After having some final words with family and friends on Saturday, he went to bed, went to sleep and never awoke. (He kept saying, "I want to go in my sleep.") His wife and daughters had the privilege of being with him as he finally got that glorified body he always talked about. Charles Capps was a man of integrity, a man of his word and he got what he said. He called those things that be not as though they were.
Charles Capps broadcast called, "Concepts of Faith", continues a daily national radio broadcast and a weekly television broadcast aired over several networks, satellite, and the internet. Click on the Radio or TV link to find the broadcast in your area.
Peggy continues to reside in Arkansas. Both Charles' and Peggy's daughters, Annette and Beverly are involved in the ministry.
