2 Thessalonians 1:3 ….your faith grows exceedingly…
God has given us His own righteousness so we can’t be any more righteous than we are now, but our verse says we can grow in faith exceedingly.😊
We all have the measure of faith or we wouldn’t have been able to be saved in the first place, but our faith comes, and grows in greater measure, when we keep hearing and hearing the word of God. (Romans 10:17) It’s like the little tree, the more we pour the word of God into our ears and hearts the more our faith will grow.
Faith leaves by listening to the words of the world and the devil, but we want our faith coming, not going! When we hear things like ‘you’ll never get well, never be strong, never be able to pay your bills, etc. that’s not faith talking. We want to hear things from God’s word that build our faith up, like ‘I can do all things through Christ, God has sent His Word and healed me, I am surrounded by God’s favour, He is providing all my needs, I am blessed going out and coming in.’
Faith is in the present moment, in our ‘now’ life. We’re called to walk by faith but we can’t walk in our past or our future, we can only walk in our now. Faith doesn’t come by having heard, it comes by ‘hearing’, present tense. …hearing and hearing the word of God.
If we want to have faith for physical health and healing, or for anything else, we have to have the word of God on it, what He says in scripture. When we know what God says and wants, then we can believe for it in the middle of the storm, we’ll have what God wants us to have and get to where God wants us to be.
3 John 2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. That’s what God wants for us, so our faith can grow as we hear and meditate on that Word.😊Amen.
