Speaker 2: hearing by the word of God. Let your worship rise

31
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 2: up to God. Let him hear your praise. God. I

32
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 2: worship you for your faithfulness to me. I adore you

33
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 2: for your love is unending and unmeasurable. I praise you

34
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 2: for you are gracious and kind. Your forgiveness is vast

35
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 2: and inexhaustible. I give you my annie, for you have

36
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 2: made a way for me to be righteous before you.

37
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 2: Your word is a light to my path. Faith is

38
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 2: acquired through God's word. As you read God's word and

39
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 2: fill yourself up with his promises, your faith will grow

40
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 2: stronger and stronger. The Word of God says to be

41
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 2: strong and courageous, for the Lord has done great things

42
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 2: for us. When you read about what God has done

43
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 2: in the past, you start realizing what He can do

44
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 2: in the present. Nothing is impossible for him. When the

45
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 2: Word starts catching fire in your soul, your Bible will

46
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 2: open up to you and you will start understanding the

47
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 2: mysteries of God revealed to us in Jesus. If you

48
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: want to know what God can do, there is no

49
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 2: better way to find out than to read it for yourself.

50
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 2: Meditate on God's words day and night. Eat it like honey,

51
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 2: and sustain yourself with it. Don't allow the enemy to

52
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 2: eat away at your faith. Perhaps you've been struggling with

53
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 2: finding time or the desire to read your Bible. God

54
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 2: knows the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.

55
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 2: This is your opportunity to approach the throne of grace.

56
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 2: Confess your sins before God and draw near to him.

57
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 2: Now consider the power in God's word and thank him

58
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 2: for it. Thank the Lord for the wisdom of his word.

59
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 2: Thank God that his strength and his might are limitless.

60
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 2: Thank Him for the promise and the power of his

61
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 2: word manifested over your life. Give thanks to God for

62
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 2: all the times in the past when his word ministered

63
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 2: to you, when his word brought courage and faith to

64
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 2: your heart. Never forget God is present and he is

65
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 2: listening to you. Come before him and ask him to

66
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 2: fill you with faith, to give you the ability to

67
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 2: receive and to understand His word. Reach out to him

68
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 2: for courage and determination. Ask him to guard your heart

69
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 2: from unbelief and doubt. Ask the Holy Spirit to put

70
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 2: people in your life who will share God's good news

71
00:05:53,080 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 2: with you and help solidify your faith in Him. Remember,

72
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 2: faith comes from hearing the good news. God says you

73
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 2: are to have faith, and you acquire faith through His word.

74
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 2: Read your Bible constantly and ceaseless. Share God's word with others.

75
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 2: Allow others to share God's word with you. Seek to

76
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 2: always be digesting God's word. Take courage and trust God's

77
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 2: Holy Spirit will help you. Do not allow yourself to

78
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 2: grow weary of intimacy with a Holy Spirit. Instead, choose

79
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 2: to seek God in this world, this day and every day.

80
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,640
