I preached tonight on how to grow your own faith to be super strong with a simple spiritual exercise that is supernaturally powerful to cause us to grow and never go backwards. It is amazing to me how I will believe something to be true and then when I think about it and how to say it so it is understood and then teach it, how it becomes so much clearer in my own mind and heart. Also my confidence in the truth of it and the practicality of the exercise to produce life change in myself and others goes up dramatically. The spiritual exercise is very simple. Each morning to read and affirm the gospel.

“I believe that You, Jesus are God, that You left heaven, emptied Yourself of all that You were as God, became flesh, dwelt among us, and we’re tempted in every area as I am, but that You never sinned. I believe that You took all of my sin upon Yourself, that God the Father punished You, His beloved Son in my place, and that You paid the price of my sin. I believe that You died for me, were buried, and that You rose from the dead three days later. I believe that You delivered me from the domain of darkness and transferred me to Your family and in You I have redemption , the forgiveness of all my sins. I am no longer going to hell, but I am going to live forever in heaven with You.

Try reading this statement of faith every morning for 30 days and see what happens to you.
