“Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you” (Matthew 9:29).
Studying God’s Word, hearing it preached, and spending time with other believers builds up our faith and helps us know God personally. Once we truly know Him, it’s difficult not to believe Him.

“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he…” (Proverbs 23:7).
If our perception of God is negative, then we’ll expect bad things from Him. We receive what we expect; we therefore must see Him through the lens of grace.
October 8
“As His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue” (2 Peter 1:3, NKJV).
Under the covenant of grace, we must know the nature of God as He is now. “Life and godliness” include healing, joy, deliverance, prosperity, and everything else we need; we receive those things through a relationship with Him.

“Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones” (Proverbs 16:24).
We are spirit beings living in physical bodies and possessing souls, which house our feelings and emotions. Thoughtful, kind words that uplift and encourage are good for the soul.
October 6
“And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation” (2 Corinthians 5:18).
Words are powerful; they can either divide and separate people or unite them. Words of reconciliation bring people back together and heal broken relationships.
October 5
“Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge” (James 4:11).
We must be aware of a critical spirit that leads us to judge others. Under grace, we’re now living by God’s law of love; overlooking others’ flaws helps us to resist the temptation to criticize.
