How Do You Move From Belief To Faith?

So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ. Romans 10:17 (NLT)

Many people become stuck on the notion that they need more faith, but according to Romans 12:3, God has dealt to each one a measure of faith (NKJV). The issue is not that you need more faith. You simply need to activate it.

Here’s how to activate your faith: study the Word until you’re fully convinced and then take action.

Some confess God’s Word repeatedly, thinking the repetition of the words is what brings power. Repeating God’s Word does have a purpose but it is to convince your heart to believe. The repetition isn’t for God’s benefit. It’s not a type of begging or commanding. It’s also not some sort of magical process. The Bible is not a book of spells; it shows you what you can believe.

What are you doing to become more convinced of God’s promises? Activate your faith by studying God’s Word. If you need a miracle in your body, meditate on God’s promises of health and healing. Picture yourself healthy and whole. Listen to messages on healing; read books and stories of healing. Ask God for wisdom and study new ways to get healthy. Pray that the right people will come into your life to help you and then remain open to new relationships. Speak to your body, telling it to be whole in Jesus’ name. Talk to your friends and family about how you are getting better every day.

Every day, work at becoming more convinced that God’s promises are yours…then do something different!
