—Dr. Bill Bright
As Paul said, “Faith is substance of our hope,” and hope should fill our future. We should focus everyday on building our faith so we can ensure tomorrow’s mountains will be moved, the sick will be healed, and great works will be done for the Kingdom.
Has today been difficult? Faith says, “Tomorrow is the turning point.” Has today been wonderful? Faith says, “Tomorrow will be even better!”
Faith embraces the possibilities.
What can we do today to build our faith? Here’s a few suggestions:
Prioritize Faith Building. Your first step today should be to adopt a faith mindset:
I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me
[I am ready for anything and equal to anything
through Him Who infuses inner strength into me;
I am self-sufficient in Christ's sufficiency].
Philippians 4:13 AMP
Find a Specific Scripture on Which to Stand. You don’t have to memorize the entire Bible. A single verse that takes hold in your heart, will change everything. Even just part of a verse can inspire such great faith that sickness will flee from you:
. . . with the stripes [that wounded] Him we are healed and made whole.
Isaiah 53:5b AMP
Turn a Deaf Ear to the Contrary Voices. The majority of voices that you hear throughout the day are negative. It is true that “misery loves company.” Don’t let the woes of the world infect your thinking. Change your friends if you have to. Those appendages on the sides of your head are ears not garbage cans. Do not let contrary voices conform your thinking:
Do not be conformed to this world (this age),
[fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs],
but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind
[by its new ideals and its new attitude]
Romans 12:2 AMP
