Hang On To Your Faith

Below is an article on having faith and believing in God's Word & his promises.

The devil's whole strategy is to get us to turn loose of our faith in God and His Word.MARK 4:15
Some people are like the seeds that fall along the path,; as soon as they hear the message, Satan comes and takes it away.

How can the devil steal the Word from someone? Only when it seems untrue. People don't turn loose of what they believe is true.So, to steal the Word, the devil must convince people it's not true. The devil does this by getting us to focus on what our senses tell us, instead of on God's Word, the seed which changes our circumstances when we retain it.As with any seed, the full manifestation of its life is not apparent immediately, but manifests over time with the proper care. God's Word will change your circumstances!If you don't believe God's Word, you won't act on it. Without following God's instructions, you will not be made free (see John 8:31-32).Actions cannot be separated from believing. Whatever you are acting on is what you really believe.In the New Testament, "faith" is the noun and "believe" is the verb form of the same Greek word. So, hanging on to your faith means to keep believing what God said -- regardless of circumstances.HEBREWS 10:23

Let us hold on firmly to the hope we profess, because we can trust God to keep his promise.
A key to hanging on to your faith is found in what you say. When you speak of fear and doubt, faith shrivels. But when you speak faith words in line with the Bible, your faith grows strong.The devil tries to get you to doubt God and His Word. The devil wants you to give up on God, to not trust Him, to not expect Him to do what He said in His Word. Do not give up! God can be trusted.SAY THIS: I will keep on believing and acting on God's Word.

God Bless us all.
