To strengthen your faith in God can only be achieved by getting to know him, find out what he wants from mankind, find out what his plans are for his earth and where you fit in those plans? To assume that you are safe in this world we live in is dangerous thinking?
If just believing there is a God, makes people think they are safe they are in real deep trouble.
To worship Jesus as God is deplorable to him and is blasphemy to his father and places anyone that does this in jeopardy of loosing their life.
False teachers and teachings have caused people to loose sight of of the real life, everlasting life on earth.
Now read the scriptures quoted and see if you agree.
First getting to know him and his son is required if you want the reward of everlasting life. John 17:3.
The next thing is what his son said at Mathew 5:5?
Jesus knew what the scriptures said at Psalms37:9-11,29.
Jesus also proclaimed God's Kingdom was the only hope for mankind and told us to seek it first above all things. Mathew 6:33,
What is God's Kingdom and what will it do?
His Kingdom is a Government or way of rule,and he will establish his sovereignty over all other governments.
Mathew 6:10, Daniel 2:44, Revelation 21:3,4.
This is just a little information that should strengthen your faith in God?
To let this slide by without testing it would be an error, and to assume that what you think you know or have learned in your life should not be tested would also be an error. Please feel free to write and ask questions. 2 Timothy 3:16 gemhandy@gmail.com

The Bible tells us that Faith is strengthened by reading and staying in the word of God....... Just read a few verses every day, meditate on that which is good and let your life be lead by the Holy Spirit !!!! God bless

Setting time aside early in the morning for daily prayer, and a devotional and scripture. Find times throughout the day during breaks to take notice of all those things that He has provided you such as a home, job,paycheck,food and drink,family,friends health, etc.
Ask God to send someone your way that day that is in need of hope and His word.
Faith is strengthened when one stays in God's Word and is involved in helping others in need. When you see God's hand at work it always strengthens faith.
And when we go through hard times don't be discouraged for it is God's will that helps draw us nearer to Him and thus strengthens our faith in Him.

Just go out and have a conversation with Him.
If you are praying and God isn't answering, it means you are in a trial. God gives Christians trials to test their faith. Teacher doesn't talk during a test.
Also, go to church, get more Christian friends and just have conversations about God. Talk about things He has done, is doing and will do.
Read the Bible.

Bible says faith comes by hearing. So read the word of God and meditate on it. Prayer always helps.

Friend, I will presume that you have accepted salvation, and now you must continue to pray and read the word and the faith will increase and it will grow stronger and you will hear the Lord speak to you. Oh it is a joyous life to live for Him and be able to rely on Him...be blessed.

personally continuously God has been pushing my envelop. I find that what had worked for me before doesn't work as powerfully as it had. just stepping into a church gave me the goosebumps. praise songs. sermons. good fellowship and discipleship. ministry. they have all worked well but I found my desires to be more faithful is never static and growing. perseverance is one of the virtues and i believe God wants us to continue searching.

Strengthen your love for "Yourself" and "Others" and you will strengthen you love for God.
Jesus stated: There is No commandment I give you which is greater than these, "That you should Love God with All you Heart, Mind and Soul" and that you should Love your Neighbours as Yourselves.
"If You abide in Me and "My Words" abide in You, then the great peace, the great Joys of this world will be Yours".
"My Words abide in you" meaning: The Words of Love,Compassion,Truth and Unity for All.( Which is "The Word" that Jesus "Was" and "Shared" in his teaching, "The Word" of "Love" .(as have many others done likewise in times past).
I wish you peace and love through your journey in life,

Trust Him. Ask Him for more faith.
It might help if you do a study on faith. The word that is. You have to be clear on what you are asking for. And don't think that you know it already. Study the word.
