Have you been moving forward in your Christian walk? Or do you struggle to enjoy a real relationship with God? Too often Christians consider the act of salvation to be an intellectual decision and not a transformational one.
Often, even when we logically know all that and we feel the Holy Spirit within us, the thought of moving forward paralyzes us. Moving forward can be the scariest part of finding and focusing on your passion. You can do all the work to discover it, even uncover your strengths, and recognize the obstacles that get in your way
Let’s look at 8 actions that will deepen your faith in the God.

Was there a time when you accepted Jesus into your life? As you come to him, you must come to him in faith and accept him wholeheartedly.

REST IN HIM
