Spiritual Warfare: 'Faith Transforms You if You Trust His Word'

God's Power for Our Battles — Wednesday, August 5, 2026

By this faith you are saved [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, and set apart for His purpose], if you hold firmly to the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain [just superficially and without complete commitment].
— 1 Corinthians 15:2 AMP

Today's Prayer

Lord, I confess that much of my life I’ve been satisfied with weak faith; partial faith; lukewarm faith. I know that won’t satisfy You, and now it won’t satisfy me anymore. Draw closer to me, Lord, and help me to help a much deeper, transforming faith that allows me to draw closer and closer to You as I truly learn to trust Your Holy Word and hear Your voice in my daily life. May this new faith change me at my core to know You better. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
