If you’re believing God for something special, such as healing, finances,  a restored relationship, or any specific need in your life, you have to protect your spirit and stay in His loving embrace.  Therefore, you must refrain from speaking negative words.  You can’t let yourself be pulled into gossip.  You have to stay in the love of God and not be offended or angered by the actions of others.  In other words, you must keep yourself pure, so that there will be no hindrance to your faith.  Don’t contaminate your faith, nurture it with positive confessions, declaring your desired outcome.  When you cover your faith with love, then answers will come.  Galatians 5:6 says that faith works by love.
