it’s the spirit that quickens
“The health of your faith is much more important than the health of your body. Your spiritual faith will sustain you and pull you out of many more tight spots than will the health and strength of your body. So strengthen that part of your life. Strengthen the part that really counts and don’t let yourself hit the breaking point of discouragement and doubts early on in the fight.”
the world kills faith
“You need great doses of faith to hold on to in those trying times, and that comes from the Word and from doing all the things that are required of disciples, such as minimizing the influences of the world, fighting to take on the God perspective in every test, taking on His mind more, memorizing, talking about the Word, and so on. These things equip you with the kind of solid foundation that you’ll need when you’re in the fires of testing and it doesn’t look like you’re coming out any time soon.”
“Another good way to build your faith is in the area of intercessory prayer. It’s good to build your faith by continuing to pray for situations even when you think they’re beyond hope or help, and continuing to send prayer power in that direction until the answer comes.”
he’s bringing the answer
“You must pray things through to completion, even when you’re tested and it’s two steps forward and one backwards, or two steps up and one down‚ or whatever the case. Practice exercising more faith by praying full-of-faith prayers regardless of the physical circumstances. Practice putting your faith and trust in Jesus into words. Keep stretching your faith to believe that He is working and bringing the answer, even though it takes a long time.”
“Prepare by stretching your faith and becoming tenacious in the battles you face here and now if you hope to endure some of the long battles that are ahead. If you find yourself regularly losing the fight now, giving up in spirit or losing the faith over small things, how will you hope to stand in the days that are coming?”
building your faith
“You have to build your faith by trying not to lose it so quickly in these days of relative ease. Take things in stride more, have more faith, expect more answers, and all of these things will serve you well in the future. You can’t lose the victory so often with small things or you won’t have it for the big ones.”
