LIVE BY FAITH

by Idaline Prince

A person’s confident, abiding faith combined with God’s power can produce absolutely amazing results!!

We are not called to use this powerful force occasionally, but to live by faith which means constantly in every area of our lives. Faith can grow, but it only grows when we use it. It's like a muscle. The way you build a bigger muscle is through effort—you have to use it. As it grows, you have to use heavier weights or exercises that require greater effort to keep it growing. It's the same way with our faith. We put our faith in God to get through a challenge or trial, and later on, another harder trial comes along.

Eventually we find that things that used to bother us or were hard to deal with aren't a problem for us anymore because our faith has grown.

Exercising our faith every day in few areas:

We are saved by faith: Acts 26:18 …they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.

Helps us to draw near to God: Heb 10:22, Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings.

We are guarded by faith: 1 Peter 1:5 …who through faith are shielded by God's power 

Faith unlocks promises and blessings: Gal 3:22: …so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe.

Heals the sick: James 5:15 and the prayer of faith shall heal the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up

Quenches the fiery darts of the enemy: Eph 6:16 …take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

Give attention to what you say especially during the hard times. – Speak faith in every situation

When you have to wait longer than you'd like, don’t let discouragement settle in your thoughts – Fill yourself with the promises of God
