13 How to <strong>Attack</strong> <strong>Your</strong> <strong>Lack</strong> by<br />
Using God's Vocabulary<br />
My friend Charles Capps is now a noted<br />
businessman and preacher. He once was a dirt-poor<br />
farmer in Arkansas at a time when that state ranked<br />
among the poorest in America, and he knew nothing<br />
about the power of his faith to attack his lack and turn<br />
things around in his life.<br />
"I was a Christian," he said, "and had been for years.<br />
I went to church, I gave what little I could, and I hoped<br />
some day I would make it to heaven."<br />
"I thought a lot about heaven then. Being on this<br />
earth brought me discouragement, sickness, poverty,<br />
and a feeling that I was ashamed to admit that<br />
Christianity was not working for me. I figured when I<br />
got to heaven I would not have those doubts and<br />
troubles. All my needs would be met up there. But on<br />
earth I didn't know how to use my faith for the things I<br />
had to have to live before I got to heaven."<br />
