TAP the power

I recently heard a story about Oral Roberts.  GOD had revealed to Billye Brim (http://www.billyebrim.org/) that Oral Roberts had an uncanny ability to "tap" the anointing power of GOD, where so many of us simply "lap" (run around) the same power like a burning bush. I certainly have done that myself; talking about GOD's healing power and not TAPPING that power.

The woman with the issue of blood (Luke 8:43-48) made an effort to TAP the power of GOD. She did not quit making her way through the crowd until she TOUCHED the ANOINTING POWER (acnonym mine) of Jesus.

How do we T.A.P.? We:
1) make a decision that GOD's Word is truth (John 17:17)
2) continue to build our faith by hearing and hearing the Word of GOD (Romans 10:17)
3) apply Mark 11:23-25
4) "call those things that be not as though they were" (Romans 4:17)
5) continue to "walk by faith and not by sight" (2 Corinthians 5:7)
6) learn how to pray according to the Word, not the world (James 4:2-3)
7) stand until our victory comes (Ephesians 6:13)
8) tell our testimony, giving glory to GOD!

The amplified account of the woman with the issue of blood says that "she kept saying". This implies that this was a process that she was consistent in applying and she was determined not to quit till she got her victory! "With faith and patience we inherit the promises of GOD" (Hebrews 6:12)
