Get Yourself Together
Kenneth Copeland 
Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

- Amos 3:3

When it comes to faith, a lot of believers feel like they have one foot
nailed to the ground. No matter how hard they try, they just can't seem to
make any progress. 


If you'll watch them, you can see why. They literally haven't "gotten
themselves together." One minute they'll be telling you, "Oh yes, amen, I
believe the Word," and the next minute they'll be spouting unbelief like
it's going out of style. "I know God says He'll prosper us, but I'll tell
you what, my business is doing so badly, it's about to give me ulcers. I
can't sleep at night for worrying." 


Dig a little deeper and you may find out that they've pulled their
actions out of line with the Word as well. "Well, you understand, brother,
I can't possibly tithe with my income like it is. I'd go under!" 


Faith just won't work for a person like that. 


You see, you're a triune being. You are a spirit. You have a soul, which
consists of your mind, will, and emotions. And you live in a body. Each of
those areas has a specific role to play in your faith walk. You have to get
all three in agreement before you can go anywhere at all! 


Start by feeding your spirit on the Word of God. Just like the body
produces physical strength when you nourish it with food, the spirit
produces spiritual strength when you nourish it with the Word. That
spiritual strength is called faith. Develop that faith, and instead of your
spirit being dominated by the other two areas, it will be the one in
charge. 


Next, bring your soul in line. Set your mind on "things above." Meditate
on the Word until your thoughts begin to agree with it. Keep your attention
on it until even your emotions yield. 


Finally, bring your body in line. Once you truly get your spirit and soul
established on the Word, that won't be hard. The body is a follower, not a
leader. It will do whatever you train it to do. Begin teaching your body to
act on the truth you've planted in your mind and spirit, and it will follow
right along. 


Don't try to walk in faith with your foot nailed to the ground. Get
yourself together! Bring your spirit, soul, and body in harmony--and the
Word will take you as far as you want to go.
