It is when you get excited about the Word that it will work for you. There is no such thing about being in faith for something and being depressed about it. There is no such thing as being in faith about something and being bored with it. If you are bored then you are not in faith. If you are depressed then you are not in faith.
Faith believes that God has heard our prayer. Faith believes that my seed is in the ground. Faith believes that its words are in the ground and change is on the way, answers are on the way, money is on the way! If you are expecting to see and feel the change and difference than you cannot be depressed over that. It will excite you.

The Bible says that “He was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their sins and trespasses to them.” The good news is that there is not a sin problem anymore.
