Tag: Bible verses about building our faith

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-8-24

Matthew 17:20 (NKJV) 20 So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.

Let’s talk about this faith walk we must have if we want to live the life God has for us here on earth.

This mustard seed is a tiny little seed. But we need to have faith the size of it or nothing will happen.

How do we get such mustard seed faith so we can believe God to move the mountains in our life?

Just the other day I was praying; “God, look what you have done in my life. The changes, the completions, the miracles, the healing, the connections. My life is really now nothing more than Your desires for me coming to pass. You set things in place. Your tore down and You built up. You erased and added to. I can’t even believe this is my life. You did it all!”

He softly spoke these words to me: “It is by faith you are here. Keep believing Me, my dear child, and you will see even greater things than these.”

How do we have faith the size of a mustard seed? We start today, trusting Him in what He wants to do through us.

For some, you need salvation. He wants to save you.

For others, healing and deliverance. He wants to turn your life around and set you free from those things that are keeping you in bondage.

Maybe someone needs food. He has a way for you to have a full belly.

Or maybe a bill needs to be paid, and you have no idea how this can happen. He has a way that you know nothing of. Trust Him and seek Him. He will show the way as we seek Him and listen to what He shows us.

Maybe you need a good job with a nicer atmosphere. He sees you crying day and night from being bullied and underpaid. He has that job for you.

Many may need forgiveness for a particular sin they have been indulging in. If you can believe, He will forgive you as soon as you repent.

For others, it may just be a word needed to help you move forward; the word that only God can give is right there for you.

Can you believe Him?

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-31-21

Matthew 9:28-29 (NKJV) 28 And when He had come into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.” 29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith let it be to you.”

These two blind men needed healing. Jesus just asked a simple, but very profound question; “Do you believe that I am able to do this?”

If Jesus were to ask us today regarding our own situation, what would be our answer?

They could have said, “well, let’s see how it goes and then we will answer you.”

No. These men knew He was able. Their faith in Jesus was at the point of receiving their healing. There was no doubt about it.

Are we believing by mouth alone? Are we mimicking someone else’s words that we’ve heard?

Or do we believe because the faith we have in our own heart knows that He is able?

You see, there are no coat-riding healings with Jesus. We have to have our own faith.

There may be times when our faith gets combined with the faith of others to get certain results. But if it’s for us, or our situation, we have to start the process by having faith at least the size of a mustard seed.

Matthew 17:20 (NKJV) 20 So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.

This is a very important question, and only we can answer it.

Many people can and will fake it. They know the talk.

They know how to put their hands up and praise God. They know the church lingo. But, none of that will work to get answers, deliverance, salvation, etc.

It’s according to our faith. Let it be done.

We must believe He is able to do what we are asking Him to do.

If we need God’s help to have more faith, ask Him and He will help us in our unbelief. But, don’t try to fake it. That won’t get us anywhere but disappointed. And it will turn us away from Him, thinking He doesn’t answer our prayers.

Mark 9:24 (NKJV) 24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”

He will help us have the faith we need when we acknowledge that we need His help and we ask Him for it.

Have faith so He can deliver! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-18-20

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

God’s word is what helps us to walk in faith. If we don’t have His word in us, the faith we have will be weak. We need to be constantly building it up by keeping His word fresh and new in us.

We’ve got to be hearing Him and what He is saying through His words. And in order to do this, we’ve got to make an effort to spend time reading it and soaking it up.

You know, like one of those books we enjoy and can wait to get home and read. All day we think about getting home so we can get back into it. That’s how the Bible needs to become for us.

It has to be THE book that has priority. The book that calls our name. The book that speaks to us even when we’d rather be doing something else.

Read its words. Stay connected, and we won’t get off track.

We will see change come to us and our situation as we begin to grow in our faith.

WE have to do it, though. No one else can grow our faith for us. Read, and read some more. Hear what it is that God is saying in His word. Take it to heart and enjoy it!!

This book was written for us. It’s our faith builder! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-6-20

Luke 17:5 (NKJV) 5 And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”

In the verse above, the Apostles asked Jesus for more faith so they could walk out the things He was speaking to them about.

Jesus looked at them and flat out ignored their request. Why?

Because, as He told them in the next verse, they didn’t need more faith! They just needed to exercise the faith they already had.

Jesus went on to tell them that if they had faith even as small as a mustard seed that they could do great things!

Luke 17:6 (NKJV) 6 So the Lord said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.

You see, so many of us ask God to give us more faith. But it’s not more faith that we need. We need to learn to walk in the faith that God has given us. We need to grow closer to God so that the faith He has given us will grow stronger in Him.

Some might go so far as to say that they have no faith. But that’s a misconception or a lack of understanding on their part, because the word of God tells us that we have each been given a “measure of faith”.

Romans 12:3 (NKJV) 3 For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.

This means that not a single one of us lacks faith. We just might not know how to use that faith yet. But as we press in to God, He will teach us and show us, as He leads us to do the things He wants us to do.

Remember Peter, who actually walked on the water? He did that with the measure of faith that he had been given, not with some massive burst of faith that was suddenly given to him.

He simply had to obey what Jesus told him to do when He called him to step out of the boat onto the water.

At that split second, he was probably experiencing many things, but he ignored any doubts he had and walked on the water. It was only when he began to think about what he was doing that he began to sink.

So it is with us. It’s important that we get so close to God that when He speaks, we don’t hesitate or try to figure it out in our heads. We just simply listen and then do what He asks of us.

That doesn’t happen overnight. But as we grow closer to Him, it happens a little at a time.

And before we know it, we will be stretching and growing our “measure of faith”, doing the things that God asks us to do with no hesitation at all.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-5-19 – Growing Strong Faith – Part 3

Please click to watch the video now.Greetings in the name of Jesus!

Strong faith is a popular topic these days. We hear about faith in many places, even outside of the church.

No matter how we look at it, faith seems to be important to a lot of people.

Faith is obviously important in our walk with God. But how do we view faith? What does it mean to us to have strong faith?

In today’s video, Growing Strong Faith – Part 3, we conclude our series with a discussion on why some people have such strong faith.

We cover a lot of interesting discussion on this aspect of our faith as we wrap this one up.

We do hope you’ll take the time to watch this one.

Enjoy your day.

Sincerely in Christ,

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-30-19

Hebrews 3:14 (NKJV) 14 For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end,

Having faith is not for just a moment. It is throughout our entire walk. It is for us to have, breathe and walk in daily.

Knowing that what God says is true, His entire word, and then walking in it, is being steadfast and confident to the end.

Faith can be fragile sometimes. This is evident when trials come and we begin to falter because of it. This happens if we are not staying in God’s word or sticking close to Him through prayer.

Faith can get lost in the hustle and bustle of life and it can cause us to become hard, as we step out of God’s call or plan for us.

Hardness will often come as a result of sin in our lives. As we step away from God, sin is more easily embraced because the conviction of the Holy Spirit isn’t as strong as when we are close to Him.

There is protection when we stay close to God; A sharper discernment and a quick resistance to sin.

There is a provision that happens when we continue to walk in faith, believing Him for things we could never do through our own natural ability.

As believers, the closer we walk with Him, the more we will step out in faith and do what God is saying to do. And the more we will grow and become confident in God. We will learn about timing, and how to wait on answers He may have for us.

We won’t grow in our confidence if we don’t get closer or take steps that He has asked us to take. We will remain a baby in our faith, and if we are not careful our faith can get lost through the many different challenges we face.

Keep steadfast in our faith. Always be looking to God for the answers to our situation. And if it is bigger than we could imagine, keep looking to Him to deliver. Don’t give up, thinking we will never get through it.

Believing and knowing that God will do what He says He will do for us keeps our faith in Him strong and our confidence going to the end. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-28-19 – Growing Strong Faith – Part 2

Greetings in the wonderful name of Jesus!

How do we grow strong faith?

This is the question we asked last week in our first video of a three-part series, Growing Strong Faith.

Today we bring you part two, where we talk about why some people never grow strong faith. This is pretty eye-opening, so be sure to take a few minutes and give it a watch.

Keep your walk with God strong!

Sincerely,

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-26-19

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

Have you ever noticed that some people have very strong faith? And yet others have very weak faith, or very little faith at all.

Why is that, anyway?

Well, it’s mostly because some people have come to understand how to grow their faith, while others have never been taught or have never desired it.

But here’s the key that so many people miss; strong faith is not gained by asking for it. It is gained by maturing into it.

And, really, the truth is that having strong faith doesn’t happen because we pursue stronger faith. It comes because we have a strong relationship with God. Strong faith is a byproduct of a strong walk with God.

So, if we’re desiring strong faith, we need to refocus our time and energy away from pursuing faith and toward pursuing God. And as our walk with God grows, so does our faith. In essence, faith is really just trust in God.

As our trust in God grows, our faith will grow accordingly. And the funny thing is that we may not even recognize that our faith has grown until we start looking back at things that God has had us do, or when we see how we have reacted to certain situations and circumstances.

Then it hits us and we see it more clearly.

How do we reach a point where we trust God so much that our faith in Him is strong? By devouring His word. Remember, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

In other words, our faith grows as we hear, learn and understand the word of God and the message of Christ.

So it’s up to us to put forth the effort. It’s up to us to take the bull by the horns and press in to God, draw near to Him, seek Him with our whole heart.

As we make the effort, God gives the increase.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-13-18

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

Our walk with God is based on faith. As we grow closer to God, our faith will grow. And as our faith grows, we will see more and more of God’s work in every aspect of our lives.

But how do we grow our faith in God? How do we get to a place where we show that we trust God with everything about our lives with our actions, not just with our words?

The absolute most important step is spending time in His word. It’s hearing His word that gives us faith. His word feeds our spirit. A strong spirit is able to hear and obey God more easily than a weak spirit.

In addition to spending time in His word, we also need to put action behind our words. Having faith is not based on our works, but without action, our faith is not worth much.

James 2:20 (NKJV) 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?

James says that faith without works is dead. In this particular verse, dead can also be translated as “useless”. So, if we don’t put action behind our words and show God that we trust Him by the actions we take, then our faith is useless. Those are pretty strong words right there.

Many people think this verse refers only to what we do for others, by helping people or giving to people. But it also means that we need to put action behind our words by doing what God asks of us.

Peter stepped down out of the boat, onto the water, and walked to Jesus when Jesus called out to him to do so. Peter’s steps were an outward sign of his faith in Jesus. If Jesus had simply asked Peter if he trusted Him, all Peter would have had to do was say “yes”.

But when Jesus beckoned Peter and called him to step out of the boat, Peter’s faith had to be put into action. And Peter suddenly found himself literally walking on the water, toward Jesus.

It was only when Peter looked at the water through his natural eyes, and he began to doubt, that he started to sink.

By speaking, we tell God that we have faith. By doing, we show Him that we have faith.

Let’s show God that we have faith in Him, not just with our words, but with our actions also.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-28-17

John 14:1 (NKJV) 14 “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 

Are you troubled today? 

Has something happened recently that concerns you or is causing you to worry? Do you spend your days worrying and fretting? 

We all go through this once in a while. Stuff happens in life that can cause us to stumble, and our faith can even waver at times. 

But as we walk through each day, it’s important that we don’t let our troubles become our focus. Focusing on our problems will only make them seem bigger than they are. Even if they are big, spending all of our time thinking about them will make them seem even bigger. 

Jesus told us not to let our hearts be troubled. His words are true and trustworthy. So it would benefit us greatly to heed what He says! 

It’s not always easy to do that. This is why it’s so important that we strengthen and build our walk with God. As we grow closer to Him, we learn to trust Him more. As we trust Him more, our faith grows. And as our faith grows, we spend less and less time with troubled hearts, worrying about every little thing that comes our way. 

So, we need to take our troubles, and the yoke and burden they place upon us, and trade them in for the yoke of Jesus. Because His yoke is easy and His burden is light. 

Matthew 11:29-30 (NKJV) 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
