At Word of Faith we believe in the power of God’s Word to change any circumstance you may be facing. Whether you need healing in your body, a financial breakthrough, or peace in the midst of turmoil, you’ll find the answer in the Word of God.
The Word is a “seed”. It has the power within itself to bring itself to pass. So, search the Word to find the promises of God that cover your situation and “meditate in it day and night”. In other words, spend time in it—give it your attention, so that what God says will get into your heart in abundance. Then, plant the seed of God’s Word by saying what God says about your situation (not what your circumstances are saying). Remember, “faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God” and you hear every word you say!
The Scripture says that God, “watches over His word to perform it”. So, stand firm!
Give the Word an opportunity to work. Keep on speaking faith filled words until you see things change. Don't give up, even in the face of “apparent” defeat! For “you shall reap if you faint not”!
And don’t forget to praise Him while you’re waiting, because after all, He’s worthy! |

WHAT WE ARE CALLED TO DO
To encourage believers to establish their hearts on the Word of God, by teaching them to make God and His Word the final authority in their lives.
To teach the Word in practical, easy-to-understand ways— “line upon line, precept upon precept”, so that minds can be renewed and lives transformed.
To equip the body of believers to do the work of the ministry.
To reach out to the people in the City of Norman and surrounding areas with the good news that Jesus loves them, and their lives can be changed through a personal relationship with Him. |
