Question of the Day

When Kenneth and Gloria started their journey of faith they had questions too—lots of them! So, we've compiled the most frequently asked questions by people like you—people who earnestly desire to find God's answers to the practical, real-life challenges of everyday living. We have a new question every day, so check back often!

Total immersion requires an investment of time. If you’re looking for a big renewing of your mind, our suggestion is 30 days. You don’t necessarily need to take time off work (although that would be great), but you’ll need to adjust your schedule to make your focus the Word of God.

For example, if you usually go to lunch with friends during the workday, spend that time, instead, listening to or reading the Word of God. Carve out as much time as possible, and spend as many hours each day as you can in total immersion.

During this time, it is important that you not only put the Word in but keep the bad out.

Here’s a suggested list of what to remove altogether during the 30 days:

  • Movies
  • Secular television (sitcoms, news programs, etc.)
  • Music (other than worship)
  • Magazines and books (non-Christian)
  • Social gatherings with those who don’t speak the language of faith
  • Any other area of your life that may be sending you messages opposite of the Word of God.

Once the 30 days are over, consider evaluating which of these should come back at all. Anything that causes you to weaken in your faith isn’t worth its limited entertainment value.

Here are some goals you can set for your 30-day period.

  • Download teachings from those who teach the full gospel. Listen to them as you: work around the house or yard, cook, get ready in the morning, and drive. Leave them running quietly while you sleep. Keep the Word going in you nonstop!
  • Keep VICTORY Channel® running all day long in your home.
  • Set a Bible-reading goal for each day. Make it a high goal! Gloria Copeland once challenged herself to read all four Gospels and the book of Acts three times in 30 days. That would be a great place to start. 
  • Purchase some faith books and devotionals to read whenever you have downtime.
  • Consider attending our upcoming Southwest Believers’ Convention this summer!

When you saturate yourself in the Word, you WILL see a difference in your life!
