During the winter months, heat is the thing you hope for, and gas is the substance-the raw material-of the heat you hope for.
The raw material for heating your home is connected to the heating unit at all times, but whether or not that raw material is used is another matter. You have to turn the dial of the thermostat. When you do, an impulse will be sent to the heart of the unit, a little valve will flip, the pilot light will ignite the gas, and heat will be produced.
The gas, the substance, is there all the time; but until the goal-setter signals the release, it is tied up. This is how some people are with their faith-they have it, but haven’t released it.
You must learn to release your faith. Turn the dial of your renewed mind and set it on the goal you want by speaking God’s Word concerning that particular area. It will then release the impulse to your heart and produce the desired results.
As you go about your daily activities, speak words of healing and prosperity. Even while you sleep, your heart is working to produce everything you need. Once the thermostat is set, you can rest assured that it will work day and night until it produces what you programmed into it.
If you turn the thermostat to 60 degrees, then up to 90 degrees, then back down to 60 degrees, you will probably blow a fuse somewhere. The unit is not designed to function that way. You should set the thermostat at a certain temperature and leave it there.
