Five Things Within Us that will Help Develop Our Faith
Five Things Within Us that will Help Develop Our Faith: By Lizzie Ducking- If we have inherited a million dollars but are not aware of it what good will it does us. We will still live like a popper but would have access to a fortune. So it is with our faith, without knowing what we have inherited our faith will not grow to make a better existence for us.
Here are five things that are inside of us that will help develop or grow our faith.
1. We are a new creature. Second Corinthians 5:17 say therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, old things have passed away, behold, all things have become new. When we accepted Christ as our Lord and Savior having asked for forgiveness of our sins, we become new because He immediately forgives us and accept us. The sins that we have done is gone away, it is as if we have never done it. We are in the same body but our Spirit has changed. This makes us entitled to all the spiritual gifts of God.
2. We are blessed with all spiritual blessing. Ephesians 1:3 says blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ. Here are some spiritual blessings that have been placed inside of us, eternal life, healing, a sound mind, joy, peace, long life, and a hope. These things are planted inside of us by the Holy Spirit when we become born again.
3. We have victory in Christ. My associated pastor would often hold up the bible and say we know how the story ends, we win. First Corinthians 15:57 says but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Second Corinthians 2:14 says now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ. This victory is inside of us and if we would believe it, God will manifest it. I heard this pastor say that Satan is eternally defeated. That means that there is no end to his defeat. He will never be able to come back for another fight with Jesus. He is eternally defeated and this is that victory that is inside of us.
4. We rule in life with Christ and have authority. Ephesians 2:6 says (God has) raised us up together and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ. We are heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ. Revelation 1:6 says we have been made Kings and Priests to His God and Father. We are royalty with authority to rule in our lives and this is inside of every believer. We do not have to work at gaining this authority; it has already been given to us, just tap into it to receive it.
5. We can do all things through Christ who strengthen us. Jesus said all things are possible to him that believes. He made it clear that through Him, we can do all things but without Him, we can do nothing. He has enabled us to do exploit by His Spirit because He said, not by might nor by power but by my Spirit. His Spirit lives inside of us. Therefore, there is nothing that is impossible for us to do.
Once it is settled in us that we are a new creation, we are blessed with all spiritual blessings, we have the victory, we rule in life with Christ and we can do all things through Christ who strengthen us our faith will become strengthen and it will grow. No longer will we be weak and submissive to the works of the devil. We will be strong and bold proclaiming the word of our Lord and triumphing over the enemy in every area.
