Bishop Jakes & Cora Jakes Coleman: "Faithing It"

I'm excited but you have written a book called facing it a finger now you have created the word safely yeah you do know that you created what is so strong about faith that you decided to create the word faith in it and make it a verb and what does that mean well phasing it meaning to trust in God's ability to do anything and so in a world where our faith is being shaken it seemed is this people are are so used to seeing the other side no one gets to see the pain of the process and so faith in it is my pain of the process my conditioning and how they can overcome the obstacles of life by faith and what brought you to the point of writing the greatness book after I was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome which is also known as PCOS and they told me that I would not be able to have children without fertility treatments and so it was very devastating very hard for me at the time and I realized there were a lot of women battling with infertility and the world had turned it into a shameful thing and so I wanted to show how we all battle with some type of infertility in our lives and so when you talk about when you talk about us all battling with some area of infertility in our life you're going beyond natural birth you're going right down to birthing the best part of who we are birthing our business birthing our Family birthing our dreams there are people who struggle to see those things come to pass how do you address that in the book absolutely when I talk about fertility faith I talk about the definition of infertile meaning the inability to produce and so because of our fear of success and our fear of failure we allow ourselves to stay stagnant and not move forward and what God would have us to do absolutely so whether this to produce ministry or to reproduce a vision or to produce some other area of your life I've been talking a lot about purpose but you're talking about being productive yeah but what you can't have purpose without being productive absolutely and if you have a destiny then you have to face for that destiny and so what is happening is we're standing in the evidence of our faith and we blame God because we haven't moved further when we're standing in what we hope for not what God hoped for it absolutely you know a lot of people confuse religion and church with faith they don't necessarily come together the package you can go to church and not necessarily have faith and there are a lot of people go to church as if they were taking a drug and say well I went to church I paid God off but I took two pills everything ought to be all right but faith deals with more with what's going on in your heart is that right the relationship we get so tied into religion faith is relationship in order to believe in trust in someone you have to have a relationship a connection with them and so I've found how to have a connection an intimate connection with God because he's our Father and so we grew up learning about mustard seed faith no one challenged us to do bigger than that and we grew up learning about how we can't ask God why when Jesus asks God why on the cross so I'm trying to change the perspective of faith for it for the world that's amazing that's excited you've written a book about faith and yet where you are is not really a surprise I jokingly say that when you came up when we were when you were very little we sent you to a private school and this particular religious organization that founded the school did not believe in women preachers Bacoor was about that high enough and and they kept asking her what she was gonna be when she grew up she said I'm gonna be what I'm gonna be a preacher just like my daddy and they didn't know what to do with it because they didn't really think that women had any place in sharing the Word of God but she told him every chance she got I'm gonna be a preacher just like my daddy and look at you right now you have to come just that you have to come yourself isn't that amazing and that amazing I have had many offers and and many speakers down to the years and help many many people to get their message out about their book and what they're done what an honor it is to have my daughter sitting in this spot and you're doing it too my wife helped a little bit with this process because her mama no question about that faith in it faith in it what I like about it is as people read this book and as they begin to study out of this book so much of what we do toward God has a tendency to be focused on church but this is something you do land and demand at night getting up in the morning sitting around the water cooler having a personal experience with God the book is almost a devotional in the sense that it creates a new level of devotion it makes faith personal absolutely well you know God rewards us in a quiet place and so whatever you're doing in the quiet time is what is rewarded not what you do in the public but how you are intimately connected in the quiet time so this is good this is exciting I know you're going to be doing a book signing after service I want to encourage you to go and and get behind this vision because not only are you getting something for you it's something that I strongly believe in it's passing the torch to the next generation amen if your faith only works in church and it doesn't affect your children then sometimes you begin to wonder if I know the enemy will fight you over your child but God has promised you the fruit of your body come on talk to me somebody he promised to bless the fruit of your body and so I'm excited I'm gonna come back and get my copy I want you to write something real good about me today they get to buy one gift one so if you go out and you buy the book for one price then you get another book to be able to give to someone else unless the message and give it to someone in need you don't something I love that you're doing I didn't realize that you're doing it but that's a great tool of evangelism just to share I bought you a gift you know or the the thing that I think is really cool and unique knobs gonna say this but I think it's really cool it might mess up what you got planned but I think you gotta start a book club on your job wouldn't it be a cool way to introduce faith into the workplace and to share get a couple of your girlfriends and say hey I'm gonna gift you a book I want to show this into your life let's read this book together and we'll talk about it over lunch some people don't know how to broach the conversation of their faith that gives them a tool to do it with now I'm gonna get you off this page before you get used to being up here I'm preaching today but before I do so I'm gonna ask you to do something I'm gonna ask you to pray for me I'm gonna ask you to pray for me I'm gonna ask you to pray for the congregation I'm going to ask you to I'm okay she looked at me like are you okay yeah I'm okay but I want you to pray for me I want you to pray for the congregation I want you to pray for the people listening that their hearts will be open and ready to receive the word would you do it absolutely yeah we good up
