Weak Christians

The Disciples’ faith was weak
The Disciples’ faith was strengthened by Christ Word and Work
The Disciples’ faith was strengthened by Prayer

1. The Devil and his minions are out to steal, kill, and destroy. He uses people around you to mock you, condemn you, and kill you, if possible. He attacks your mind and your body, your people and your possessions. If you are weak in faith, you will buckle under the pressure and compromise.

2. To become strong and face the Devil’s attacks you need to have sanctifying faith. Yes, you have faith that Jesus died on the cross for your sins and that is good. Every Christian has this faith. But you need an increase in trusting Jesus in all areas of your life – sanctifying faith.

3. You get this increase in faith by going to the Word of God…hear God’s Words, see his great works…and pray – pray intensely – and fast - that God would work through his Word and increase in your faith so you face whatever arrows the Devil shoots your way.

Finally: As Christians have saving faith. We only struggle with sanctifying faith. But if you are not a Christian, you live under the threat of eternity in hell without saving faith. Do you want saving faith, faith to trust that Jesus died on the cross for you as a sinner? Then ask God for that faith! He gives it for free. This is the start you need.
