1) Immerse yourself in God’s word. Listen to it, read it, study it, and memorize it. Dive into those ancient stories where God’s people made the sun stand still, where the waters parted, where humans walked on water and angels shut the mouths of lions. You’ll quickly see that this is the reality God wants us to experience.

 

2) Start praying like you believe it. This sounds weird if you have never tried it. But it really works. Ellen White once wrote, “Those who talk faith and cultivate faith will have faith, but those who cherish and express doubts will have doubts.” In 2024, my spiritual mentor heard that we were expecting our first baby, so he started praying that God would give us our own house. In Southern California. As a minister. Right after I had lost my job. When he prayed that prayer, we were living with four other people in someone else’s house. I almost had to laugh — that’s how strong my unbelief was. But two months later, God gave us two new jobs and free housing on a huge property. We didn’t even have to pay utilities!
