How to Expand Your Capacity to Believe

In Mark 9:23, Lord Jesus said, "…everything is possible for the person who believes." Often, we encounter individuals who identify themselves as' believers.' While there is nothing inherently wrong with this self-identification, it can be disheartening to witness some of these individuals disregarding or even rejecting the truths and promises found in the Bible, even when they are explicitly presented to them.

Now the trouble with that is, if we refuse to believe that God can or will do something for us (even though there is biblical truth to back it up), we are cutting ourselves from the possibility of receiving anything from God in that area. Our lack of belief limits God from acting on our behalf.

As we navigate through life, it is common for many of us to hold on to beliefs that are not in alignment with God's Word. Therefore, it is crucial for us to consistently work on replacing these misguided beliefs with the truth of God's Word. One way to accomplish this is by regularly confessing His promises out loud and claiming them as our own.

However, when claiming these promises, it is essential to embrace them as if they are already ours. If we speak about God's promises using words like maybe and someday, it's a big problem because faith only works in the present tense.

For example, instead of saying, "I will be healed," say, "Thank you, Father, that you are at work in my body right now, healing, restoring and strengthening it. In Jesus' name, I declare that I am healthy and whole!"

Instead of saying, "I hope to do well in my business; in my job", say, "Father, I thank You that Your blessing upon my life makes me rich and adds no sorrow with it. I am a blessing. In Jesus' name."

Start declaring God's promises over your life. Your heart will connect with those promises and bring them into existence.

Jesus has gained an incredible inheritance for you and me. We have access to every promise.

Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 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 1:2-3)

Pay close attention to the phrase, "As His divine power has given to us all things." The passage does not suggest that He might give; it confidently proclaims that He has already given. God has provided us with everything we could ever need to live a life of abundance and spiritual growth.
