Christian Faith and Positive Thinking
Faith is the conviction of the truth and it simply means to believe. The word affirmation means to affirm something to be true. One of the remarkable stories in the Bible is when the Apostles said to Jesus - Increase our faith. I also like the NLT version of the scripture that says, Lord we need more faith, tell us how to get it.
If you are anything like me (then you are totally weird) but beside that, I bet you have asked the same type of questions at times in your life. How do I get more belief? Or... I need more belief?
The remarkable answer to this question by Jesus was that we really don't need much belief to see miraculous things. He said if you has faith the size of a grain of mustard seed you could move mountains and pluck up trees. So I pose the question to you then... How powerful is faith?
If just the tiniest portion of faith (the size of a tiny grain of mustard seed) can remove mountains then what could an entire fist full of faith accomplish? The next time you are in a Church gathering and your fellowship is praying for someone or something, think about the entire collective joined together as one massive powerful force of faith. If all just possessed a mustard seed of faith then combined your prayers can bring forth miracles.
I am also fascinated that Jesus continued in Luke 17:7 started talking about us putting servants to work for us. He was still talking in the context of faith. If we use his analogy then we can say that faith is our servant which we can put to work to bring forth what we need.
Here are some personalized Biblical positive thinking with affirmations about believing:
- I shall live by believing

- Hey I actually do live by believing

Brethren as Jude said in verse 20 - But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

Historic Black College choirs across the country traditionally visit local community churches. For many churches it's reminiscent of a homecoming.

It is an interesting study when looking at the word ask in the Bible. Jesus encourages us to ask and at first we might think well of course we ask Jesus for things all the time but when we honestly contemplate it there are things like pride and fear that do prevent people from asking Jesus or anyone else for that matter for assistance.
