Faith and Character: Building a Divine Connection with Christian Javois
Episode Overview
Faith and character are deeply interconnected, with character serving as a foundation for a strong connection with God. Hindrances to answered prayers include questionable motives, ill will towards believers, self-centered living, and insensitivity to the interests of God and His people. Prioritizing character and faith is essential to experiencing a consistent answer to prayer and a deep connection with God. Stunted spiritual development directly impacts the exercise of faith, emphasizing the need to nurture standard faith for a mature Christian character. Leveraging past evidence and lessons from scriptures is crucial for nurturing standard faith and fostering a strong connection with God.
Little faith focuses on the lack of resources and simultaneously ignores the abundance that comes out of the hand of God himself.
