Understanding the Trials of Your Faith (Part 2)

By Creflo Dollar

Summary

Living godly lives does not excuse us from undergoing hardships and tribulations. This is something all believers must understand. Just because we encounter adversity does not mean we sinned or did anything wrong. The faith we need to push through a tough situation is not our faith, but God’s faith. His faith is much better than ours. We find real rest in the midst of turmoil when we stop working hard to believe that we are righteous, redeemed, delivered, and healed, and simply believe it because Jesus believes it. This removes all pressure from self-effort and gives us the highest kind of faith there is.

Understanding the Trials of Your Faith

By Creflo Dollar

Summary

There’s no such thing as a perfect life. Christians can’t expect to live free of trouble, tribulation, or suffering; however, we must understand that these things mature us spiritually. God’s grace has given us the faith of Jesus Christ. Our faith is imperfect and lacking in many ways, but Jesus’ faith has already been tested and proven to be perfect and complete; believing in His faith, not in ours, gives us peace.

How to Win the Battle of the Mind

By Creflo Dollar

Summary

We’re in a spiritual war with the devil. His attacks focus on our minds, and his strategy is to use suggestions to defeat us in our thought lives. The mind is the arena of faith, and is where we either win or lose the fight; we gain the advantage when we line up our thoughts with God’s thoughts so that we can understand His mindset versus the enemy’s mindset. Spending enough time in God’s Word brings us to the point where we can hear a Word directly from Him.Hearing straight from God gives us the same victory in this battle that He has already obtained for us.

Satan’s Method of Operation

By Creflo Dollar

Summary

Christians are in a spiritual battle with Satan, who is determined to make our lives miserable and kill us; with this in mind, we mustn’t blame God for the bad things that happen.

How to be Trained by Grace

By Creflo Dollar

Summary

As New-Testament believers, a solid understanding of the covenant under which we live gives us a true picture of God. Grace and truth are not separate; grace is the truth and is Jesus Christ, Himself. Grace is God’s undeserved, unmerited favor; it doesn’t excuse sin, but instead teaches us to live godly lifestyles by changing us from the inside out. Submitting ourselves to grace allows the Holy Spirit to work in us to the point where we want to please God and not just ourselves. It frees us from the self-effort and rule-keeping that was prevalent, but unsuccessful, under the law.
