Building blocks of faith
God’s Word tells us that whatever we desire, we can have. The building blocks of faith are simple: Believe, speak, and act on your faith that God’s Word is final authority. “We have the same spirit of faith. As it is written, “I believed, and therefore I have spoken” (2 Corinthians 4:13) MEV.
We must have faith in God and believe that what we say shall come to pass. The choice is believing God’s Word and making it your final authority or not is yours. We will be victorious if we follow the building blocks of faith.
Life of fear or life of faith
Continually feeding on fear and depositing unbelief in your heart, you will be filled with fear, which is evil.
However, if you believe in Jesus Christ, you are born again, and the person you once were has passed away and all things now are of God (2 Corinthians 5:17-18).
Instead of living a life of fear, you begin living a life of faith. The old you used to be a fear producer, but this new you have become a faith producer.
Out of the heart, the mouth speaks
Jesus spoke this spiritual law: “A good tree does not bear corrupt fruit, nor does a corrupt tree bear good fruit, each tree is known by its own fruit. Men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a wild bush. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bears what is good, and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bears what is evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks” (Luke 6:43-45) MEV. That is a law of the spirit realm, and you cannot change it. What comes out of your mouth will come to pass!
“Be doers of the Word and not hearers only deceiving yourselves, (James 1:22). MEV.
If you are serious about living by faith, you should say this aloud: “From this day forward, Lord, Your Word is the final authority in my life. With God’s help, I will never alter His Word to fit my lifestyle. I will alter my lifestyle to fit the Word of God. From this day forward, The Word of God is the final authority in my life.”
Act on the word
When you give glory to God you can be assured you have strong faith, because you’re fully persuaded that He’s able to do what He promised (Romans 4:19-21). Paul wrote this about Abraham, and because we are the children of Abraham, and God is no respecter of persons, that word is also applicable to us.
As you make God’s Word final authority in your life, and you build up your faith, things will change according to the will of God.
Make this declaration: “I’m fully persuaded that my God is able to do everything He has promised, and I give Him glory.”
Act as though the New Testament is true because it is! God really said you have what you say, however, it must be in line with the Word of God! Begin to say, “Thank God I have strong faith,” and you will!
The key to unlocking the building blocks of faith is you must have already asked Jesus to come into your life and accepted Him, and you have been born again. If you haven’t done so yet, let me encourage you to do so now. Follow the below instructions to receive Jesus Christ into your life and received eternal life with Him because of all He did for you.
Romans 10:9-10 says, “If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord”, and believe in your heart that God raised His from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved”.
If you have never asked Jesus to come into your life now is the time to make your life right with God and accept Jesus into your life.
Prayer of Salvation
God loves you so much, and He’s offering you an abundant life that is full of vision here on earth and eternal life with Him in Heaven. The cross of Jesus is your path to His great redemption plan for you, a plan to bring you into a personal relationship with Him. He’s ready to come into your life and help you make a change if you want Him to.
Romans 10:9-10 says, “If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord”, and believe in your heart that God raised His from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved”.
The above is the upside to becoming a Christian, however there is a downside as well. Christians are hated and ridiculed by non-Christian family, friends and the world. You may become an outsider to family and friends who will reject you and what you believe. SO, you must be sure you want and believe in your heart that the upside is more important in your life than the downside.
This must be a decision from your heart and not from your mind. If you are ready to accept Jesus into your life, then speak the following prayer aloud.
“Dear God, I know I am a sinner. I repent and want to turn from my sins, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son. I believe He died for my sins and that You raised Him to life. I want Him to come into my heart and to take control of my life. I want to trust Jesus as my Savior and follow Him as my Lord from this day forward. In Jesus’ Name amen.”
If you have said this prayer with your heart, you are now an adopted child of God and heir with Jesus Christ and entitled to eternal life with Him. His Holy Spirit has come to live inside you. The Holy Spirit will comfort, guide, lead and convict you of sins so you may ask forgiveness.
Congratulations, your name has now been written in the Lords’ book of life which means you will have eternal life with Him. Now go and find yourself a bible believing loving church so you may grow in your new life.
