Faith is the secret to spiritual success! No matter how much you study it, there’s always more to learn; and whatever you learn about it is always under attack by the thieving devil. So, to maintain your current level of faith and keep advancing, you must keep feeding on what the Bible says about it. You must continually meditate on and develop your mastery of faith’s fundamental principles.
To understand why this is, think about the last time you watched a sports championship of some kind on TV. What were you seeing? You were seeing athletes who’d mastered the fundamentals. They didn’t get to be the best in the world at their sport by coming up with some strange new way to play it. They excelled by mastering the basics of the game.
The same holds true for believers. We develop into the champions God created us to be by continually focusing on, working and living the basic simple truths of faith.
“You just say that because you’re a faith preacher.”
No, I say it because the Bible confirms time and again that faith is foundational to our walk with God.
• We can’t get saved without it. (Ephesians 2:8)
• It’s impossible to please God without it. (Hebrews 11:6)
• We can’t live the Christian life without it. (Romans 1:17)
• We can’t overcome the world without it. (1 John 5:4)
• Whatsoever is not of faith is sin. (Romans 14:23)
Hebrews 11:4 says, “By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice....” So, clearly faith and excellence are inseparable. It takes ever-increasing faith to have an ever-increasing impact for God!
The Gateway to the Supernatural
What else can you do to keep increasing your impact? You can develop in your working knowledge of the power and glory of God.
“For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us” (2 Corinthians 4:6-7).
