Do you have enough faith?

Let's say you go on a road trip across the country. You drive for half a day, but all of a sudden, your car sputters to a stop on the side of the highway. So you get out, pop open the hood and go to work on the engine. You tinker away until you think you've fixed the problem... but when you turn the key in the ignition, nothing happens! That's when you notice—the gas light is on.‍

It wasn't an engine problem. You just ran out of fuel.Sometimes we look at faith like that. We think we need MORE faith in order to get our miracle. But your car doesn't need more engine, does it? It already has a great engine built by the manufacturer!In Romans 12:3 (NKJV), it says that God has already given you a measure of faith.Instead of focusing on how MUCH we believe, we need to get to the root of WHAT we believe. So... where do you start? And better yet, how do you change those beliefs?When we consistently meditate on and speak God's Word, it has an amazing ability to fuel our faith. The Word goes to work on your deep-seated beliefs about life, marriage, health, finances—you name it—and starts to align your heart with the truth.

For example, let's say you're facing a tough decision and you're not sure what to do. Instead of placing your faith only in your abilities to problem-solve, you could go to Proverbs 3:5-6 and say this: "In every circumstance, I will trust the Lord with all of my heart. I won't depend on my own understanding. I know that God is directing my paths as I acknowledge Him in everything I do."

Or maybe you're taking a flight, but you're afraid the plane will go down. Instead of going over every possible scenario and picturing a disastrous crash, you can declare Psalm 32:7 out loud. "God protects me from trouble. He surrounds me with songs of victory."

Both of these declarations are in this month's Walk in the Word collection.

As you speak faith-filled words and envision God's promises coming to pass in your life, it's like pouring fuel into the engine of your heart. You're putting your faith to work in a positive way!

Declaring the Word is a habit we need to build. Even if you're not facing a storm right now, this is the time to strengthen your faith! Go into God's Word, find out what He says about a certain area and then get that truth into your heart.

We'll be the first to admit that it can be hard to know where to start. So to help you develop this habit, we want to share something with you called Walk in the Word. It's a collection of personal declarations based on Scripture, and this month's collection will help you start using the measure of faith you've already been given. Click here to download yours.

Print it out, hang it on your fridge or put it beside your bed and speak God's amazing promises out loud every day. Each time you speak, God's Word will start a fire in your heart and fuel your faith.
