God can take the most simple person in the world, and if that person will dare to believe what is written in the Word, God will empower him to do any job.

The reason I'm so blessed today is because I am so simple that I believe God is smarter than I am. When I see something in the Bible that doesn't agree with what I think, I change what I think and believe the Word.

Jesus admonished us to come as little children. So do that. Humble yourself and just take the Word as it is written. If God says you'll do the works, don't argue, just agree with Him and get busy!

Say: "Father, Jesus said, 'He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also. I don't know how to do the works, but your Word says I will. So I place myself at Your disposal. I expect to do the works that Jesus did!"

Then step out boldly and act on your faith. The bolder we are, the more power can be released through us. Did you know that? It's when we hesitate and we're afraid of what people might think that nothing happens. So make up your mind now to be bold—whether you want to or not.

That's what I had to do. There was a time when I was so timid about speaking in front of crowds that when someone called me to the platform to testify during a meeting, I just said, "No."

I was so under conviction about that after it happened. I knew that wasn't pleasing to God, and I wanted so much to please Him that I made a commitment. I told Him, "The next time someone calls on me to speak, I'm going to jump up—but it's up to You to give me something to say."

It wasn't easy, but I did it. The next time I was asked to talk, I just headed toward the front thinking, "Oh, Jesus, You're going to have to help me." Sure enough, He did.

Today I could speak to anyone anywhere—any crowd you could get together—and it wouldn't phase me. You could send me to the White House or the most famous people in the world, and I could talk to them about Jesus.

That's how it works. But you have to take the first step. Do what the Bible says to do whether you feel like it or not. That's called acting on the Word. And that's called faith.
