-A Word Filled Diet Leads To Strong Faith
Romans 10:17 states:
“So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
Romans 10:17 NKJV
For us to completely comprehend this verse we, who have been born again, must understand that Faith was implanted in us by Our Father when we were saved. Faith should be a part of us. It should run through the Life in our veins and is in fact part of our spiritual DNA now. Faith is something that Our Father has already given to us after our conversion. Let's get a witness from God's Word on that.:
“For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.”
Romans 12:3 NKJV
So, God Our Father has given "each one a measure of faith." Now, it is up to each and every one of us to develop that Faith and do something with it. We must first develop that Faith by "hearing the Word of God." The Bible, God's Word, is our spiritual food. If we understand Mathew 18:18 we can begin to understand that we must feed upon our spiritual food and our Faith will be strengthened. Lets take a look at Matthew 18:18:
““Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
Matthew 18:18 NKJV
We must "bind" The Word to ourselves and it will be "bound" to us in heaven. If we "loose" that word here on earth, it will be "loosed" to our Brothers and Sisters in heaven as well. God's Word is our food, if we feed upon it... our Faith will be strengthened. Let's get a few witnesses here:
““Therefore you shall lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul, and bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.”
Deuteronomy 11:18 NKJV
“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.”John 1:14 NKJV
“And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.””
Matthew 26:26 NKJV
Take a look at cross fit trainers or body builders who are constantly working out to build muscle and endurance. You will find a common thread when you ask them about there performance. Diet. Every intense physical training athlete will tell you, you must have the right kind of diet to build the muscles in your body up. A protein heavy diet is most common among muscle builders.
These athletes, in a very faithful manner. eat tuna, drink protein shakes, and add various other protein rich products to there diet. They athletes consume this protein, digest it, and it is the ingredient that helps them build muscle and train their bodies for performance.
As each of us consume God's Word and take time to digest it properly, God's Truth becomes The Ingredient that builds our Faith for performance in our minds. God's Word is the food of Faith.
It is apparent, therefore, when a person struggles with Faith, it is a matter of diet. Feeding on the wrong things can be counterproductive for our faith, just as a diet of cookies and candy bars would be counterproductive for an athlete. Our Faith comes, even if we don't see it at first, by feeding upon God's Word.
Brothers and Sisters, if any of us is struggling with our faith, we must change our diet. God's Word is the perfect food for Faith.
“For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
Hebrews 4:12 NKJV
May all of us start feeding on God's Word Today!
“Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him, saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented.” And Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.” The centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed. For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it. ” When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!”
Matthew 8:5-10 NKJV
God Bless Everybody and have a Great God-Filled Day!
