“If any of you lacks
wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault,
and it will be given to you,” (James 1:5).
“Think about what
you are thinking about,” Joyce Meyer teaches. Instead of dwelling on what is
wrong in your life, or on the lies Satan throws at you, think about the strong
omnipotent power that God brings into your life. Think about open heart-felt
prayer between you and God. Seek greater faith to trust His faithfulness.
Without faith it
is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). Pray for greater faith to believe.
Think about having greater faith to believe. Dwell on that thought. Roll it
around in your mind until it is what you think about continually. Get into the
Word and learn that faith comes by hearing and understanding the Word of God
(Romans 10:17). Ask for wisdom to discern the Word. He does not withhold it from
you. He gives it generously. That wisdom helps you discern the author of your
thoughts, and His power brings your thoughts under His control (2 Corinthians
10:5).
Faith enables you
to test His power in your life. As you give Him the gift of your determined and
mustard-seed faith, He gives His faith back to you with increasing power to
believe. But that power must be exercised. Determine to overcome Satan's lies or
your own fearful thoughts, and determine to believe in His truth. His power and
your faith go hand-in-hand. His faith in you is completed by the power you
exercise.
