FAITH: Comes by Hearing the Word of God

Romans 8:4: That the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.


FAITH: Comes by Studying the Word of God

The provision of deliverance from the power of sin is through the death of Jesus Christ, but experiencing it in one’s daily conduct comes through the controlling power of the Holy Spirit. 1

FAITH: Comes by Obeying the Word of God

Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy. Jude 24

You can not live the Christian life based on your own power and strength. There must be a greater strengthen and power within. And there is! It is the power and the strength of the indwelling Holy Spirit inside of you. Christ has taken up residents in your life. The bible speaks of this as Christ in you, the hope of glory. Since Christ is in you, He is now able to live His life through you. Whatever you do, you do it now for the glory of God. You now cooperate with His Holy Spirit, as He guides your life.

FAITH: Comes by Experiencing the Transforming Work of God

The right way to walk, and the only way to walk, is according to the Spirit.

FAITH: Comes by Praying with the Word of God

He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love. Colossians 1:13

Dear Father, thank You for Your Son that delivered me and for Your Spirit that keeps me going in the right direction of Your love…in Jesus Name. Amen
