Jude 1:20-21 (NKJV) 20 But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
It is so important that we be built up in our faith.
Keeping our faith strong means that doubt has no place in us. It means that our trust in God is stronger than the lies that the enemy tries to plant in our minds.
Strong faith helps us to be victorious in our battles, even when those battles seem so very long and hard.
Strong faith gives us the fortitude to press in and push through when our flesh just wants to give up and lay down.
Strong faith will help us live a victorious life until the day we meet Jesus.
So how do we develop strong faith? How do we take our weak, little tiny faith and build it into battle-worthy faith that carries us through the trials and tough times in our lives?
First, we never, ever give up on God. It’s not an option. We cling to Him, no matter what comes our way.
Second, we spend time with Him. We share our heart with Him. We listen for His voice, and when we hear it, we obey Him. We follow His leading in everything.
And finally, we stay in His word. We read it as often as we can, taking it in and making it part of our being… part of our existence. It becomes a very part of our thought process.
As we determine in our heart that we will never give up, we spend time with Him, talking and listening and then doing, and we make His word a part of us, we will have strong faith.
And when our faith is strong, we will be strong.
