Strengthening Your FaithExemplo

VALUE YOUR EXPERIENCES WITH GOD 

Our personal experiences with the Lord God are the most defining factors in strengthening our faith. As we study God’s Word and obey Him, He will reveal Himself to us in fresh new ways. Every intimate moment with Him leads us to an even greater knowledge of who God is and how much He loves us. Each time we trust the Lord to step out into the unknown, it prepares us to receive a greater manifestation of His power. When Peter had fished all night and caught nothing, he obeyed the command of Jesus and launched his boat further into the deep where he experienced an unexpected move of God. Luke 5:4-7

Because that encounter increased Peter’s faith in the Lord, he later trusted Jesus and endeavored to walk on water when Jesus bid him to come to Him. Yes, Peter wavered in the process. However, he showed courage to get out of the ship as a result of his experience with the Lord. As our relationship with the Lord God deepens, and we increasingly experience His power, our faith and trust in Him brings us to a place where we can depend upon Him entirely and obey Him without hesitation. It is on this level of faith that we not only witness miracles, but become a part of them. Matthew 14:23-29

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I desire to walk in a level of faith and trust in You that will cause me to obey your Word and become a part of Your miraculous manifestations on Earth.
