We’re in Revival! – Step 2 – Define and State Your Motivation
Okay, today’s the day. We’re in revival! And step two in getting started is to:
DEFINE AND STATE YOUR MOTIVATION
It’s very important to define and state your motivation to achieve the goals you’ve set in step one. If one of your goals was to obtain strong faith, write down at least three reasons why you want to strengthen your faith. I have a few examples below.
To Relieve Stress
According to Romans 5:1, we have been made right in God’s sight by faith in His promises; therefore, we can have real peace in our inner altars with Him because of what Jesus has done for us. Satan has supernatural power to oppress, depress, and stress people, but he is restrained by God and therefore can only go as far as God allows. Trusting and relying on God in stressful times is an instantaneous stress reliever.
GOD IS IN TOTAL CONTROL. Therefore, do not sweat small things or people; instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs, and do not forget to thank Him for his answers.
To Build Confidence
Faith is the confident assurance that something we want is going to happen. The certainty that what we hope for is waiting for us, even though we cannot see it up ahead. If you want to lose ten pounds or fifty pounds, have faith that God will supply you with all that you need to persevere, endure, and stay on the path to achieving your goal.
Jesus is our source of faith and in Luke 17:5-6 He replied to the apostles request for a faith increase with these words, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.” Well, surely if faith as small as a mustard seed can uprooted a mulberry bush, it can push aside a slice of cheesecake.
Until you read again…Hold Your Hope!
