To have a faith that is built to last:

You must be willing to embrace change

21 “No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. Otherwise, the new piece will pull away from the old, making the tear worse. 22 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins” Mark 2:21-22

You must have a renewed mind

“There must be a spiritual renewal of your thoughts and attitudes.” Ephesians 4:23 (NLT)

“Let the Spirit change your way of thinking” Ephesians 4:23 (CEV)

You must be willing to GET RID of what distracts you from God’s will.

“So, get rid of your old self, which made you live as you used to, the old self that was being destroyed by its deceitful desires”. Ephesians 4:22 (TEV)

“We must get rid of everything that slows us down, especially any sin that distracts us, so we can run the race that lies ahead of us” Hebrews 12:1 (GW)

You must have faith in God’s Word and promises despite the circumstances.

Genesis 18:9-15

Romans 4:18-24
