God grows your faith through ...
• ... familiarizing yourself with God’s Word.
“So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the message about Christ.” (Romans 10:17)
• ... circumstances that test
“... knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.” (James 1:3)
God tests AND grows your faith through ...
• ... dreams.
“Now to Him who is able to do above and beyond all that we ask or think according to the power that works in us …” (Ephesians 3:20)
To grow in faith, I must dream BIG!
• ... delays.
“For the vision is yet for the appointed time; it testifies about the end and will not lie. Though it delays, wait for it, since it will certainly come and not be late.” (Habakkuk 2:3)
To grow in faith, I must learn to wait patiently.
• ... dollars.
“Give, and it will be given to you; a good measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over—will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.” (Luke 6:38)
To grow in faith, I must learn to give in faith.
• ... difficulties.
“Dear friends, don’t be surprised when the fiery ordeal comes among you to test you as if something unusual were happening to you.” (1 Peter 4:12)
To grow in faith, I must learn to trust God always.
