REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACT(S)

And being not weak in faith, HE CONSIDERED NOT HIS OWN BODY NOW DEAD, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb: ~ Romans 4:19

There is a huge difference between the fact and the truth. Unfortunately many people accept lots of outcomes because they are facts.
We don't deny that FACTS exist, as a matter of the fact they do. Facts are based on the five senses. They look 'real' in the physical realm.
There is something greater than facts, it's called the TRUTH. Truth is simply God's position (the word of God) [John 17:17].

Our theme scripture gives us an account of the patriarch Abraham. To put it simply, biologically speaking (fact), he and his wife Sarah had way passed the child bearing stage. In other words, 'realistically' speaking it was impossible for them to have a child because the FACT was his body was incapable and his wife's womb was DEAD too.

In all, this he considered not his own body now dead. In other words he refused to acknowledge the biological fact of his status and his wife's.
The evidence existed, but he refused to recognize it. That's faith beloveds!

You may have symptoms of a disease or may even have been diagnosed with it. I tell you something... It's not until you call it so yourself.
He tells us that in Zion we don't SAY that we are sick (Isaiah 33:24). You may feel like (fact) but beloved, don't say what you feel. Say what God's position is. YOU LIVE IN DIVINE HEALTH.

Someone may say, "you want me to lie about what I feel??" absolutely not!
For we walk by FAITH, not by SIGHT (2 Cor 5:7)

Sight here is not limited to sense of vision alone. It's inclusive of all the five senses. That includes sense of touch. Or simply feeling. Collectively, it's called sensory perception.

See, when you do that you claim ownership of that disease. In the same way, when you say you're broke. You have named it on you.

Kenneth Copeland narrated how Creflo Dollar was diagnosed with cancer. The doctor actually informed him the name of that cancer. The man thanked the doctor for the service BUT REFUSED to mention the name of that cancer anywhere. Instead he went and tuned in to the messages by Gloria Copeland at the healing school. In no time, cancer had no choice but to find another body where it could be welcomed.

Friends, faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17).
You can't make progress thinking about the circumstances you are in. That will breed more fear, doubt and unbelief. You will go from bad to worse.
You have to attend to God's word, incline your ear unto His sayings (the word). [Prov 4:20 ]

When you do that, you will build a hedge around yourself against negative forces transmitted through five senses.

You won't be moved by what you see. You will only be moved by the word of God.
