HOW TO PASS DOWN OUR FAITH
“Only take heed to yourself, and diligently keep yourself, lest you forget the things your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life. And teach them to your children and your grandchildren, especially concerning the day you stood before the Lord your God in Horeb, when the Lord said to me, ‘Gather the people to Me, and I will let them hear My words, that they may learn to fear Me all the days they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children.’” ~ Deuteronomy 4:9-10
Being a role model of faith in Jesus Christ is one of the most valuable gifts we can offer our family and friends. Placing trust in the Savior is something each person must decide for themselves, but we can share the biblical truths that have shaped our own walk with God. Consider these foundational truths that have sustained you.
• Salvation is found only in Jesus (Acts 4:12). The most important relationship we'll ever have is with the Lord. As you continually experience His Grace, your example will reflect Him to others.
• Everything that exists was created by the Lord, and He owns it all (Psalm 24:1). Understanding ourselves as stewards rather than owners has freed many believers to invest in God's kingdom.
• God has a purpose for each of us (Philippians 2:13). When opportunities arise, share what you're learning about God's plan for your life. Your story may encourage someone who feels directionless.
• God provides what we need in order to carry out His plan (Philippians 4:11-13). Our heavenly Father equips us with talents and spiritual gifts to achieve His Purposes—and often uses our testimonies to strengthen others.�
Each day presents opportunities to speak about our Savior. Who might benefit from hearing how He's worked in your life?

LIFE’S VICTORY COMES FROM THE LORD
“The horse is prepared for the day of battle, but DELIVERANCE is of the Lord.” ~ Proverbs 21:31
FROM THE FATHER'S HEART
My child, sometimes you act as if you are still a prisoner of war. Perhaps you are looking for strength and victory in all the wrong places. Let Me fight your battles. The only way you will ever experience victory is when I am on your side. And I am on your side. When I fight for you, no one can stand against you. I am the victorious One.
A GRATEFUL RESPONSE
Lord, nations fill their arsenals, each hoping to surpass the other's strength in the event of war. Whether in corporate or personal battles, in life or in death, we cannot win without You, Lord. You are the victorious One. Thank You for fighting our battles.
SIMPLE TRUTH
Don't sweat the battles when the King is in command.

THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM
“And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit.” ~ Ephesians 5:18
When God gave Moses instructions for building the tabernacle, He appointed a man named Bezalel to be master craftsman for the project. God “filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship” (Exodus 31:2-3). The apostle Paul picked up on the connection between wisdom and being filled with the Spirit in Ephesians 5:15-18. Paul cautioned the Ephesians about being foolish and wasting the opportunities of living for God. He equated being wise with understanding and carrying out God’s will, exhorting them not to be “drunk with wine” but to “be filled with the Spirit.” Just as a master craftsman could not carry out his tasks if he was drunk with wine, so the Christian cannot carry out God’s will by living a wasteful and uncontrolled life. Part of the fruit of the Spirit is self-control (Galatians 5:23). Imagine yourself as a master craftsman, constructing a life that is pleasing to the Lord and fruitful in His work. Purpose each day to be filled with the Spirit so that your gifts and talents are not wasted.

WE LIVE AND WALK BY FAITH!
“So, then FAITH comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” ~ Romans 10:17
“And in Lystra a certain man without strength in his feet was sitting, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who had never walked. This man heard Paul speaking. Paul, observing him intently and seeing that he had FAITH to be healed, said with a loud voice, “Stand up straight on your feet!” And he leaped and walked.” ~ Acts 14:8-10
In Romans 10, Paul says Israel needs someone to preach the Gospel to them. He then says that “FAITH comes from hearing ... the Word of Christ.” “Word of Christ” can mean either the word(s) spoken by Christ as repeated by a preacher or words spoken about Christ by a preacher. The effect is the same—anyone preaching about Christ will no doubt quote some of Christ’s words. And those words produce FAITH. That’s what happened when Paul was in Lystra. A man who was crippled from birth, who had never walked, was listening to Paul preach. Paul looked at the man and saw “that he had FAITH to be healed” and told him to stand up—and he did! The words of/about Jesus created FAITH in this man.
Do you need FAITH or do you know someone else who needs FAITH? Meditate on “the word of Christ” and trust God that FAITH will come.

I John4:7-11

BIRTHED BY GOD
Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” ~ John 3:3
“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.” ~ Ephesians 2:8-9
When describing the birth of a newborn, we never say, “The baby birthed himself at 3:00 p.m.” Likewise, when describing spiritual rebirth, Jesus said, “Unless you are born.” That is, both human birth and spiritual rebirth are passive events for the infant. Mothers give birth to physical babies; the Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual babies.
Our spiritual rebirth is not something we do by ourselves, by our own efforts. If it was, we would be right to boast. Since it is of God rather than ourselves, we can only boast about God and His grace.
If you have been born again through faith in Christ, give thanks to God that He has birthed you for a purpose. As the Spirit brought you into God’s Kingdom, so He will lead you and transform you.

HIDING GOD’S WORD IN OUR HEARTS
“Your WORD I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You.” ~ Psalm 119:11
“Let the WORD of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in WORD or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.” ~ Colossians 3:16-17
Jesus appears to quote the Old Testament around 75 times in His teachings and verbal exchanges with others. Take, for example, His exchange with the devil during His 40-day sojourn in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-11). Three times He refuted the devil’s temptations by quoting verses from Deuteronomy. Paul quotes or alludes to the Old Testament around 75 times just in the book of Romans. How did they do this? Memorization and in-depth familiarity with Scripture. The WORD of God is the sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:17) and the foundation of faith (Romans 10:17).

SPIRITUAL INFUSIONS
“I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being.” ~ Ephesians 3:16
Infusions have become a popular way to replenish fluids or nutrients in your body. At home or at an infusion clinic, you’re hooked to an IV that delivers vitamins, minerals, and fluids directly into your bloodstream.
Are infusions available for us spiritually? If so, where can we find an infusion of strength for our souls? For that we turn to the clinic of God’s Word. In Ephesians 3:16, we learn a vital prayer to offer for ourselves: Lord, I ask You to grant me, according to the riches of Your glory, to be strengthened with might through Your Spirit in my inner being. The Holy Spirit was sent to us as a Helper. He comes to strengthen us. When you feel weak, ask the Lord to impart His strength. If you’d like another prayer along these lines, use these words from hymnist Edwin Hatch: "Breathe on me, breath of God, fill me with life anew, that I may love what Thou dost love, and do what Thou wouldst do.”
