Growing in Faith

By Dick Evans

Romans 12:3 KJV
For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

We are each given the measure of faith needed to reach out for him and believe. With that one act of faith we became born of the spirit and his word became alive in us.

2 Corinthians 1:20
For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.

As we step out in faith accepting the truth of his word that all his promises are for us, we grow in faith.

Isaiah 55:11
So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

Every time we walk out in that truth our level of faith becomes stronger and stronger. Once we truly knew one promise was true and then another, it became easier to take a risk and walk forth in another. His word is true and does not come back void.

Each time we read and believe a promise in His Word and step out in faith seeing it fulfilled our level of faith increases.

Romans 10:17
So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

I realized that faith does come by hearing the word but the increase comes by taking a risk and walking out on the promises in his word. We get more not by asking but by taking a risk. As we walk out his word our faith increases more and more.

If you want more faith, take that risk and grab ahold. All his promises are yes and amen.

His Words not Ours

When we become a believer and receive the Holy Spirit, He wants to fill our mouth with spiritual truths; He wants us to speak the words He gives us. Yet how often do we fall back on our training and formulate our own message instead? Lord, help me to put aside words of human wisdom. Let His words come forth. ~ DickEvans.org

He is with us

When we go out to do God’s work, the work He has destined us to do, He is with us. We are never alone. All it takes is for us to open our mouths and they will come and follow Him. ~ DickEvans.org

Changes

As we control over to the Holy Spirit, we allow Him to work in our day to day lives. The more often we do that, the quicker the character changes in us can take place; the quicker others will see the mind of Christ evident in our lives. ~ DickEvans.org

Salvation

As believers we are to go into the world and preach the gospel. But not everyone we tell believes, even when we press on in our enthusiasm. Salvation requires we believe in Jesus. He is the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Him. ~ DickEvans.org

Treasures

When we received Christ, we also received all the treasures. So we have the treasure chest. The key is Holy Spirit. He unfolds more and more wisdom and knowledge to us. ~ DickEvans.org

Let Him Drive

Holy Spirit lives in each and every one of us who believe. Now if we maintain our old level of control by staying in the driver's seat, we are liable to fall short and sin. And we do. But if we let Him do the driving, we cannot sin because He does not sin. Isn't it time to put Him in charge? ~ DickEvans.org
