Keys to spiritual growth.

“Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.” 2 Peter 3:18 NKJV📖_

How can you grow spiritually? By doing these five things:

(1) Rediscover the Bible. You will never grow spiritually without soaking your mind in Scripture. When Jesus told the devil, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4 NKJV), He was quoting a verse from Deuteronomy that He’d memorized. If Jesus needed the Scriptures, you do too.
(2) Restart your prayer life. Charles Spurgeon said, “As well could you expect a plant to grow without air and water as to expect your heart to grow without prayer and faith.” When you venture into the realm of the impossible and start praying for God to move supernaturally in your life, you will begin to see miracles.
(3) Reconnect with God’s people. “Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together…but encouraging one another” (Hebrews 10:24-25 NIV).
(4) Resist your sinful habits. “The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure” (1 Corinthians 10:13 NLT). Always choose God’s “way out.”
(5) Invest in others. God has a place for you to serve and people for you to invest in. Make a quality decision that you are not going to just sit in church and soak up one more sermon; instead, begin to act on what you have learned.

Exercise patience

_“Therefore be patient…until the coming of the Lord.” James 5:7 NKJV📖_

Patience, from the biblical perspective, embodies these four things:

(1) Confidence in God’s unfailing love and faithfulness to us: “His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness” (Lamentations 3:22-23 NKJV).
(2) Confidence that He will keep His promises to us: “There has not failed one word…which He promised” (1 Kings 8:56 NKJV).
(3) Confidence that He has everything that concerns us under control: “The Lord will vindicate me” (Psalm 138:8 NIV).
(4) Confidence that even in the most difficult of circumstances, He is working for our good. “We know that all things work together for good to those who love God” (Romans 8:28 NKJV). Confidence in God enables us to live by the Word: “He that believeth shall not make haste” (Isaiah 28:16 KJV). Impatience is at the root of so many of our failures. Hence the apostle James wrote: “Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord.” Look at Simon Peter: He came close to committing murder in the garden of Gethsemane in a vain attempt to protect Jesus (see John 18:10).

Look at Moses: His impatience caused him to strike the rock instead of speaking to it as God commanded; hence he forfeited the Promised Land (see Numbers 20:1-13). Look at Abraham: His impatience while waiting for God’s promise of a son to be fulfilled led to the birth of Ishmael and serious complications in the family (see Genesis 16:1-16). Hence Paul wrote: “Whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope” (Romans 15:4 NKJV). So, the word for you today is—exercise patience!

Pray about it

_“You will…find me when you seek me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13 NIV📖_

F***y Crosby, the noted hymn writer, said she never attempted to write a hymn without first kneeling in prayer. Given that she wrote about 8,000 songs, she was obviously a woman of prayer! Beloved hymns such as “Blessed Assurance,” “To God be The Glory,” and “I am Thine, O Lord” were born from times of prayer. But like many creative people, she was often under pressure to meet deadlines.

One time she tried to write lyrics for a tune composed by W. H. Doane. She couldn’t seem to find the words, but then she remembered she had forgotten to pray. As she rose from her knees, she dictated—as fast as her assistant could write—the words for the famous hymn, “Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross.” Another time she had run short of money and needed exactly five dollars for a particular purpose. There was no time to call upon her publishers, so she simply prayed for the money. As she ended her prayer, she began to pace back and forth in her room, trying to get into the mood to write. Just at that time, an admirer called upon her. The two chatted briefly, and in parting, the woman pressed something into her hand. It was a five-dollar bill!

F***y fell to her knees in a prayer of thanksgiving, and upon rising, she wrote one of her most famous hymns, “All the Way My Savior Leads Me.” The secret of F***y Crosby’s success is not a “secret.” Before she attempted anything for God, she first sought God’s help. So, the word for you today is—pray about it!

Pray for a revelation of God’s love (2)

_“I pray that you…may have power…to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ.” Ephesians 3:17-18 NIV📖_

Thomas Aquinas was one of the most prolific writers and thinkers of the Middle Ages. His Summa Theologica is one of history’s most exhausting and enduring theologies. But Aquinas never finished it because of something that happened on December 6, 1273, that caused him to quit writing. “All that I have written seems to be like straw,” Aquinas said, “compared to what has now been revealed to me.”

Exactly what was revealed remains a mystery, but that one revelation surpassed all the knowledge he’d acquired. No matter your IQ, that’s what you need. You are not smart enough to reason your way to God. You need “the Spirit of wisdom and revelation” (Ephesians 1:17 NIV). Nothing will change your outlook, or even alter your personality, like a revelation of God’s love. But it’s so diametrically different from the way we give and receive love on a human level. First of all, His love is unconditional. There is nothing you can do to make God love you more or less because He already loves you perfectly, eternally. Even when you don’t reciprocate His love, it doesn’t deter, deflect, or diminish His love. It accentuates it. “While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8 NIV).

It’s easy to love others when they are at their best. But when they are at their worst? Not so much. But that’s the test of true love. Our love tends to be reactive, but God’s love is proactive. He loves us when we least expect it and least deserve it.

You can pull down that stronghold

The weapons of our warfare are…mighty in God for pulling down strongholds.” 2 Corinthians 10:4 NKJV📖_

Just as Jericho was a stronghold in Canaan, we have strongholds in our lives. Paul wrote: “The weapons of our warfare are…mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God” (vv. 4-5 NKJV). A stronghold is an “argument” or a “high thing” that “exalts itself against the knowledge of God.” It is a conviction, outlook, or belief that attempts to interfere with the truth.

A stronghold is a false premise that denies God’s promise. It “sets itself up against the knowledge of God” (v. 5 NIV). It attempts to magnify the problem and minimise God’s ability to solve it. Does a stronghold have a strong hold on you? Do you speak the language of impossibility? God could never forgive me (the stronghold of guilt). I could never forgive that person (the stronghold of resentment). Bad things always happen to me (the stronghold of self-pity). I have to be in charge (the stronghold of pride). I don’t deserve to be loved (the stronghold of rejection). I’ll never recover (the stronghold of defeat). I must be good, or God will reject me (the stronghold of performance). I’m only as good as I look (the stronghold of appearance). My value equals my possessions (the stronghold of materialism).

Many Christians don’t even recognise the strongholds in their lives. But you don’t have to be among them. God has given you the weapons of prayer, Scripture, the Name of Jesus, the blood of Jesus, fellowship, etc. And collectively, they have “divine power to demolish strongholds” (v. 4 NIV).

Practice God-confidence rather than self-confidence

_“It was not I but God who was working through me by his grace.” 1 Corinthians 15:10 NLT📖_

Pride promotes self-reliance. It tells us we can indeed do things on our own. In our attempt to walk in self-confidence, we slam the door in God’s face and shut out the work of the Holy Spirit, our Helper.

Paul was educated, sophisticated, and consecrated, yet he humbly declared, “I am the least of all the apostles. In fact, I’m not even worthy to be called an apostle after the way I persecuted God’s church. But whatever I am now, it is all because God poured out His special favour on me—and not without results. For I have worked harder than any of the other apostles; yet it was not I but God who was working through me by His grace” (vv. 9-10 NLT). No matter how much ability you possess, without God, it will only take you so far. Jesus said, “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in Me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing” (John 15:5 NIV). So the source of our confidence should be God and not ourselves. When the plans of those walking in God-confidence go awry, they are wise enough to subordinate their desires to the sovereign will of God.

They quickly remind themselves, “Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails” (Proverbs 19:21 NIV). They are convinced that God has a higher purpose for their lives, and that no man can thwart it. So practice God-confidence rather than self-confidence.

Developing a spiritual mindset

_“Those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.” Romans 8:5 NIV📖_

Muscle memory isn’t stored in your muscles. It’s a procedural memory that is stored in your brain any time you repeat a muscle movement. Whether it’s putting a golf ball or playing a violin, the muscle memory becomes stronger the more it is repeated. Have you heard about the 10,000-hour rule? Psychologists say that’s the amount of time it takes to become an expert at anything.

That’s encouraging because it means anybody can do it, but it’s discouraging because it means there are no shortcuts, no matter how smart or gifted you are. Just like a foreign language, developing a spiritual mindset is a learning curve. Can you imagine being frustrated on the first day of a foreign language class because you aren’t fluent? That’s how we often feel when we aren’t fluent in prayer, or strong in faith, or disciplined in our habits. Psalm 84:7 says we “go from strength to strength” (NIV). You’ll be working on this for the rest of your life, one day at a time. You’ll keep benchmarking. Your faith ceiling becomes your faith floor. And make no mistake about it—those spiritual disciplines accrue compound interest. And they pay off in terms of joy, fulfillment, and power with God.

“Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace” (Romans 8:5-6 NIV).

Believe God for abundance.

_“The Lord your God will make you abound in all the work of your hand.” Deuteronomy 30:9 NKJV📖_

A young artist called her aunt one day to let her know she was leaving on a trip to a fashionable resort to try and sell her wood carvings of seabirds to the owner of a gift shop. She asked her aunt to pray that her venture would be successful. Her aunt assured her that she would pray for the largest order she had ever received!

That evening, the young artist called her aunt back. Not only had the gift shop owner purchased all of her carvings, but the owner of a chain of gift shops had also ordered as many carvings as she could make! She was filled with wonder at how abundantly God had answered prayer. “Now,” she said to her aunt, “pray that I can fill his order!” Her aunt replied, “The Lord doesn’t open a door unless He expects us to walk through it successfully. When we pray for rain, don’t be surprised when you get a cloudburst!” Are you praying for God to meet a need in your life? What answer are you expecting? Be honest. Bare minimum? Meagre-but-satisfactory? Or are you expecting an abundant, more-than-enough supply? Stand on God’s Word: “The Lord your God will make you abound in all the work of your hand.” Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly” (John 10:10 NKJV).

Paul wrote: “God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work” (2 Corinthians 9:8 NKJV). So, believe God for abundance.

Try fasting.

_“Is this not the fast that I have chosen?” Isaiah 58:6 NKJV📖_

God gave His people the following reasons for fasting: “To loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke” (v. 6 NKJV). Fasting is one of the best ways to break the power of the flesh. If you can say no to food, you can say no to just about anything.

Fasting can be a powerful spiritual discipline God uses to help bring freedom and clarity. No matter what cause you care about, fasting invites the favour of God. When you abstain from food to seek God, it shows Him you’re serious. And He takes you seriously if the cause honours Him. Some spiritual breakthroughs are possible only with the combination of prayer and fasting. When you fast and pray, the synergy is more than the sum of its parts. If you feel like your dream is in a holding pattern, try fasting. If your marriage is in trouble and you need things to turn around, try fasting. If your heart is breaking for your kids, try fasting. If you need a breakthrough, try fasting. If you need to make a big decision, try fasting. Fasting breaks strongholds and yields breakthroughs. It’s the way we declare to God that we need Him and want Him more than food itself. It takes tremendous discipline to give up food, but doing so cultivates discipline in other areas of our lives.

The best way to kill sinful desires is by starving them to death. That’s precisely what fasting does. It doesn’t just weaken your physical body; it also weakens your sinful flesh and simultaneously strengthens your spirit.

The touch of His hand.

_“The one having the likeness of a man touched me and strengthened me.” Daniel 10:18 NKJV📖_

In her book A Slow and Certain Light, Elisabeth Elliott wrote: “When I lived in the Forest of Ecuador, I usually travelled on foot…Trails often led through streams and rivers which we had to wade, but sometimes there was a log high above the water which we had to cross. I dreaded those logs and was always tempted to take the steep, hard way down into the ravine and up the other side. But the Indians would say, ‘Just walk across, senorita,’ and over they would go, light-footed and confident.

I was barefoot as they were, but it was not enough. On the log, I couldn’t keep from looking down at the river below. I feared I would slip. I had never been any good at balancing myself…so my guide would stretch out a hand, and the touch of it was all I needed. I stopped worrying about slipping. I stopped looking down at the river or even the log and looked at the guide, who held my hand with only the slightest touch. When I reached the other side, I realised that if I had slipped, he would have held me. His being there, and his touch, were all I needed.” That’s all you need too: to experience God’s presence and feel His touch.

Daniel wrote: “The one having the likeness of a man touched me and strengthened me. And he said…‘Beloved, fear not! Peace be to you; be strong, yes, be strong!’ So when he spoke to me I was strengthened, and said, ‘Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me’” (vv. 18-19 NKJV).
