How To Increase Your Faith

"If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, 'Remove hence to yonder place', and it shall remove, and nothing shall be impossible unto you." (Matt xvii. 20) In the New Testament, Jesus said:"I tell you, if anyone believes in Me, he will do the [kind of] things that I do; and greater things he will do, because I goto the Father."(John 14:12) [1] How do you grow faith -- to have increasing faith in the guidance of the Spirit of Christ. The only mediator between God and men, is the man Christ Jesus; [2]He mediates for you. So how can you have increasing faith? Here's how. EditSteps 1Feed your faith: receivea measure of faithfrom God, through receiving the Word ofGod -- by studying the Bible. According to Romans 10:17, "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God." Faith does not come mainly by praying, begging or fasting orRomans 10:17 would only be a suggestion. The Bible does say "pray always"; so, an attitude of prayer is essential, but faith comes by hearing and then applying the Word of God. You must continue to read andstudy the Word of God (The Bible) so that your faith will grow. II Thessalonians 1:3, "your faith grows exceedingly." by living in God's promises in the Bible. 2 ...the fruit of the Holy Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ...(John 3:33 the day. Check the Bible where it says Jesus Christ had the[full] faith of Godwithoutmeasure. He is the living word of God. [3] Faithis calleda "fruit of the Holy Spirit" thatJesus promised to send after he went to the Father. This may be noticed in the reborn person's spirit even at difficult times; not just on your best days: ~ "...the fruit of the Holy Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ..." [4]. 3 Seeking the Lord for He first sought us... Be born againas a believer by repentance (turning around) and continuing in Christ, so that you will receive within you a measure of faith and the Spirit of God. That means that if you have been born again, then you will have some portion of thenature of Godas the Word says. So no one has an excuse:Do not think of yourself more highly than youshould, but rather think of yourself soberly, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given to [you] each person. (Romans 12:3) [5] Let faith arise in you, and it can in the area of unseen things that you believe -- within God's will, so then it canbe applied to you and actualized by you. You will seeresults by faith. This is not just a hope; it is the way of God for access to the things of God. 4 Love your brother .Howcan you love God whom you have not seen -- if you cannot love your brother whom you have seen. God will reveal Himself to you through His people, His love, through His son, His Word, and by the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Christ. Galatians 5:6 says that faith works by love. 5 Having faithto move problems as mountains issimply trusting God to keep His Word. Believe that God cannot lie. You cannot trust God without knowing Him through fellowship of God's presence. This fellowship is quality time spent alone in study, praise and prayer with God, getting to know Him and His life, way and truth (presented in The Bible). Abraham in Romans 4:19-21 had extremely strong faith by 1) Not concentrating on his circumstances, 2) trusting thatGod could do what God promised and 3) by Praising God. 6 Fellowship with Himand as this develops you will come to agree with those who trust God. ~ "Where two or three agree together in my name as touching any thing [in God's will] that they shall ask, it shall be donefor them of my Father which is in heaven. For where there are two or three gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."(Matthew 18:20) [6] 7 Cultivate your faithby giving Him the opportunity to reveal Himself to you. You will know Him as He lives in your life. Fellowship with the invisible God gives birth to your spirit with a measure of the kind of faith that can change things in your visible, physical reality. 8 Act on your faith. Faith is expressed by actions not just thoughts and words, as you believe then you can receive through that, and then you will seek results like you expect real outcomes as you have expectations of favor with God. God told Joshua that we must be faithful to the scriptures: ~ "Never stop meditating on these teachings. You must think about them night and day so that you will faithfully do what is in them.
