By faith, I expect greater results
| 1:39 MIN READ |
Faith is a powerful force. It’s a quality that lives in us and is expressed through the way we live and the words we speak. It’s something that needs to be nurtured and grown within us.
Speaking words of faith is one way to increase faith and put it to work. The Bible teaches us this principle in many places. One is found in 2 Corinthians 4:13 (NIV) “It is written, ‘I believed; therefore I have spoken.’ Since we have that same spirit of faith, we also believe and therefore speak …”
You can’t divorce faith in the heart from words in the mouth. They go together.
This week we’re looking at five faith declarations that will change your life. Believing and declaring them will set you free to experience the life God wants you to experience, and more importantly, to be the person God wants you to be.
Today’s declaration is: By faith I am going to see bigger possibilities, set bigger goals, attempt bigger things, put in greater effort and expect greater results.
I am convinced that, when we get to heaven, we’re all going to be surprised to see some of what could’ve been with our lives. Perhaps this is why the Bible says that in eternity Jesus will “wipe every tear from our eyes.”
One of the ways to avoid any regrets is to see and believe in the true nature of God. Our lives improve when we live with confidence in God’s greatness, His largesse, His power, and His willingness to demonstrate His kindness, grace, and favor to us.
How do we live this way? Rise every morning and declare, “By faith I am going to see bigger possibilities, set bigger goals, attempt bigger things, put in greater effort and expect greater results!”
