Category: Grow In Faith

Inspiration: This is the favorite scripture of one of my family members who, after committing his life to Jesus, made a second commitment to continue to grow in faith.  He takes time to visualize how his faith is growing each year.  He has asked God to keep his faith increasing all the rest of his life so he can continually please God.

Inspiration: A doctor always thought God was constantly upset with mankind for their sins and was out to punish people for every mistake they made.  As he started reading the scriptures, he realized that God was so loving in character, He sent His only Son Jesus to die for us so that we should receive eternal life.  This doctor has now committed his life to Jesus fully and is wanting to follow God’s plan for his life.

Inspiration: A woman in the Bible was caught in the act of adultery.  Although others were ready to condemn her, and stone her.  Jesus did not as Jesus was the only one there without sin.  All those that wanted to stone her knew they also were sinners and left.   He forgave her. He told her to go and sin no more.  He forgives and forgets our sins when we come to Him and truly repent.

Inspiration: A man was involved in a worldwide crime organization for decades.  He grew up never knowing the love of a father.  In his 40s he felt empty inside and was thinking of committing suicide.  He was asked to attend church and there the church leader looked into his eyes and said he saw a boy who had never been loved.  This criminal met with the church leader later and the power of God fell on him  and received Jesus into his heart.  He felt God tell him that he would be protected.   After he got out of prison, he now goes to prisons and travels around the world preaching about Jesus.  His bad past was cleansed in  Jesus’ blood.

Inspiration: A scripture calendar was on a doctor’s desk lying open to this day’s scripture.  As the patient read the scripture for today, she burst into tears because she felt that God was comforting her and telling her that He would always be with her.  The doctor gave her the scripture calendar since he saw that she was so blessed by it.  This doctor and his wife have helped distribute this scripture calendars so that God’s Kingdom would be advanced.

Inspiration: More and more events for children are run on weekends and parents seem to be taking their children to these events and skipping going to church.  Other people have to work at their jobs during church service times.  However, the real issue is that there is always time to go to church, even if it is a mid week service.  We just have to change our priorities to line up with Jesus’ priorities!

Inspiration: A man from Africa shared a story about Jesus’ protection and living by faith.  As a boy, he was walking through the woods in his country one day when a boa constrictor (snake) fell down from a tree on top of him and quickly wrapped itself around his body to squeeze him to death.  As the snaking was squeezing him, he was so scared all he could do was to call on the name of the Lord.  As he said the word "Jesus," the snake started to unwind itself from his body and slithered off.  There was no one else around so he knew Jesus rescued him from death.

Inspiration: One Bible teacher said that all Christians are in the Ministry whether you are a home-maker, a nurse, a plumber or in the business world.  All of us are not called to be in the public speaking ministry but all of us can work one on one with people, helping them to be reconciled to Jesus and teaching them to become disciples to then carry out the great commission.

Inspiration: These words were spoken by Jesus to Pilate during His trial.  God is very close to those who are on trial for His sake.  Many of us who are going through the trials, feel God is distant or forgotten about us.  If our minds are quiet before the Lord so that we can hear His voice and obey His plan, He will see us through to victory for His name sake.

Inspiration: An Accounts Manager wanted to buy a house since he was in a small apartment.  God gave him a vision of a house with a stop sign in front of it.  The stop sign covered half the house in this vision.  Holy Spirit put on his heart to prepare for Bible College and not to buy the house.  At the time he left for Bible College, he looked at the Real Estate market and found the whole economy was down.  He praised God he did not buy that house but used the money for Bible College instead as he would not have made a good investment in a house.

Inspiration: I get so blessed to see families that truly worship Jesus at Christmas and don’t get caught up with Santa Claus, Rudolph the reindeer or Frosty the Snowman.  I was in a house one time when a video on the life of Jesus was put on the TV.  When the four year old daughter saw Jesus (in the video) on TV, she danced all over the room saying Jesus, Jesus, Jesus and then ran to the TV set and kissed Jesus on the screen thinking she was kissing Jesus.  This was true worship that not only blessed me but I am sure blessed God also.

Inspiration: Many Christians today live in safe environments where their lives are not threatened on a daily basis. I spent a lot of time at Bible College with a man from Bagdad, Iraq.  He became a Christian during the Gulf War in the early 1990s.  He told me what it is like to live in Iraq.  I pray for him since his life is in danger now that he has completed Bible College and is back in the Middle East.  I have heard of amazing miracles of Jesus protecting Christians from death!

Inspiration: One leader said "Why should anyone hear the Gospel twice before someone has heard it once."  Too many churches are so inwardly focused they never share the good news with new people and wonder why they never grow.  I am blessed to see how God has used missionaries in places like South Korea that was mostly Buddhist and now has some of the largest Christian churches in the world. I am also blessed to see Christians ask for the baptism of Holy Spirit for power and boldness to witness for Jesus Christ!

Inspiration: I love to talk about heaven.  Although the Bible does not have much explanation about the details of heaven, this scripture does give us some insight.  Revelations, the last book in the Holy Bible,  tells us a lot about heaven also.  When people talk about heaven I find everyone’s faith is ignited. Why should we wait until we are dying to talk about heaven?

Inspiration: I was so blessed to hear the headquarters of one Christian denomination was going over to the headquarters of another Christian denomination to build unity and show humility.  Most people do not understand this scripture, but when it is accomplished, pride is destroyed and a new friendship is born out of servanthood.  Service for Jesus Christ is our calling with a humble heart.

Inspiration: In today’s fast paced society, our prayer life can be ineffective as our minds race around with different thoughts.  I have to pray many hours before my thoughts quiet down and I can be still before God.  I have made the mistake of answering my phone in the middle of my prayer time and find distractions can stir up my mind that I have to spend a while getting my mind quiet before the Lord again.

Inspiration: A worship leader wrote a song about Jesus giving His life for us.  These lyrics revealed:  Jesus being spat upon, struck in the face, mocked and crowned with a crown of thorns.  The song goes on to tell about the lashes ripping His back, the nails driven through His hands and feet, and the agony of hanging on the cross, in humility, pain, and suffering while taking on our sins.  The song ends with a triumphant phrase that the tomb is empty and that Jesus has resurrected from the dead!  People need to visualize the price Jesus paid in laying down His life for us as well as the joy that He is alive today ready to talk to us!  What a blessing that we can commit our lives 100% to Jesus to receive eternal life in heaven with Him and be a blessing to the church on earth today!

Inspiration: One Christian had a vision of unity.  The vision had each member of the Christian team coming from a different Catholic and Protestant denomination.  The denomination name was on the back of each person’s sweater.  Jesus was the captain of the Christian team and said "I have already won the victory for you on the cross, so go out and claim your victory."  Devils made up the opposing team.  Each member of the Christian team appreciated each other as they needed to work together to claim the victory against the opposition.  Each Christian team member knew they were like soldiers on the same side.  They were God’s army and knew to stop fighting each other and start binding up the devil in Jesus mighty name!

Inspiration: One Bible teacher spoke on the gift of tongues, interpretation and prophecy.  The teacher explained that these words from God are not generated in your head but are from the Spirit of God talking to your spirit.  Young Christians often can not distinguish between their own thoughts and God’s thoughts as they have not studied enough of God’s Word (the Bible) and have not been taught on the discerning of spirits.  Mature Christians hear from their heart and are not swayed by wrong emotions or wrong thoughts from their head.

Inspiration: In recent days there has been more teaching on prayer and intercession as people are learning to pray in the Holy Spirit.  This type of prayer is very powerful as some churches started to pray and intercede for their city to stop the gang violence and crime and to bring the power of God to their city.  A drug dealer was on his way to kill someone, and as he was going by one of these churches where people knew how to pray, he felt compelled to pull into the parking lot.  He didn’t know what was overcoming him and he went inside the church while the service was on and he gave his life to Jesus.  This drug dealer then confessed his sins to the police.  Many other accidents and crimes have been stopped by the Lord Jesus when people will intercede!

Inspiration: God spoke to a salesman and called him to Bible College.  He had been with a big firm for seven years and was one of the company’s top salesmen.  This man wanted God’s work and witness to be continued at this company after he left.  He set up a meeting with five other Christians where he worked, and told them that he was leaving for Bible College.  He encouraged and prayed with these 5 Christians and passed on the torch to them saying to them that they were to carry on being Jesus’ light in that workplace.

Inspiration: The Bible says that Christians are the sons and daughters of God.  Then when a Christian man marries a Christian woman, he is to look after one of God’s daughters.  Likewise the wife is to look after one of God’s sons. This brings in a new depth to their marriage.

Inspiration: This scripture says Jesus came full of grace and truth.  Holy Spirit came on Jesus and also on people in the book of Acts where it is written that some of the disciples were full of Holy Spirit’s gifts. I find all Christians, including myself, need refilling each day from the Lord.  We need to attend a strong church that can refill us with God’s power as we worship Him and develop an intimate prayer life passionately in love with Jesus.

Inspiration: The Bible explains to us in this scripture and in John 1:14 that Jesus is the Word of God.  One Bible teacher likes to say that the Bible is the expressed image of Jesus, for every time you meet up with the Bible, you meet up with Jesus.  This is how God speaks to you through the scriptures.  Jesus will never tell you anything that contracts His Word in the Holy Bible.

Inspiration: Many women have a problem with the word ‘submit’ in this scripture and many men have a problem with loving their wives as Jesus loves the church.  However Christian counselors help explain that submitting does not mean for the wife to be a doormat but to submit to the husband’s role of priest in the home.  If the husband takes this role and loves and cherishes his wife, couples can flow together in their God given roles.  A wife that prays with great faith that her husband and herself will be one in unity with the ways of the Lord, has an easy time with submission since she is submitting to the same plans the Lord has for both of them as a couple!

Inspiration: Many models were asked the question "Is there any part of you that you are unhappy with?" and most of these beautiful women said, "Yes, there is."  Even though everyone thought they were gorgeous,  these models were still not happy since they did not have Jesus in their hearts.  In the Bible, Esther saw that her gift of beauty was from the Lord and was to be used for God’s plan to deliver Israel.  Esther was obedient to God and the Israelites were rescued.  Beautiful women can do mighty things for God if they will listen to Jesus and not the lustful money and fame traps of the world.

Inspiration: A church leader was sharing about the problem of child kidnapping in the Philippines.  One day one man’s young daughter was kidnapped.  The church prayed for two weeks and the father was so stressed out that he was ready to admit himself into hospital.  Just then the kidnappers released the daughter and no harm had been done to her.  There was great joy in this answer to prayer, as the daughter was returned home.

Inspiration: One Bible teacher told us the difference between Christianity and other world religions.  He said the world religions are based on doing certain rituals or believing in some leader who is dead and buried.  Christianity is very different.  Jesus Christ is God’s only Son sent because God loved the world so much.  Jesus lived life without sin, and laid down His life to be the sacrificial offering to redeem all mankind’s sins.  Jesus’ resurrection from the dead proved eternal life.  Christianity is not a set of rituals but a personal relationship with God where Jesus loves us constantly and unconditionally and sins are forgiven.  It is a love relationship where you do things for God out of love not doing things to earn right standing with God for no one can be saved by just good works!
