7 Powerful Ways to Strengthen Your Faith and Walk Boldly with God

 

Introduction

Faith is the lifeline of every believer. It’s what connects us to God, moves mountains, and unlocks divine blessings. Without faith, it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). Yet in life, situations arise that test our faith - seasons when God seems silent, promises seem delayed, and the journey feels tough.

The good news is this: faith can be strengthened. Just like a muscle grows through use, faith grows when we intentionally feed it, act on it, and trust God deeply. In this post, I want to share seven powerful, biblical ways to strengthen your faith and walk boldly with God, no matter what life brings your way. But first, let me share a story that will stir your heart.

 A Testimony

 From Delay to Divine Turnaround

Gloria had been believing God for the fruit of the womb for 7 years. Doctors told her there was no medical solution. She fasted, prayed, sowed seeds, and believed, but every year came with disappointment. There were nights she cried, mornings she woke up with renewed hope, and afternoons when doubt crept in.

One day during a midweek service, her pastor preached on faith that refuses to give up. He shared Hebrews 11 and spoke about Abraham and Sarah receiving strength to conceive. Ada said that day, something shifted inside her. She made a decision to stand on God’s Word until she saw her miracle.

She wrote down scriptures like:

“Is anything too hard for the Lord?” (Genesis 18:14)

“For with God nothing shall be impossible.” (Luke 1:37)

“Blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.” (Luke 1:45)

Every morning, she confessed these scriptures out loud, thanked God in advance, and worshiped through her pain.

Exactly 11 months later, Ada held her baby boy in her hands. What changed? Her faith was strengthened, anchored, and unshakable.

Seven powerful keys to strengthen your faith 

 1. Feed Your Faith with the Word of God

“So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” — Romans 10:17

Faith doesn’t grow in an empty heart. It grows where the Word is planted and watered. Reading the Bible casually is good, but meditating intentionally is what builds faith.

🔸 Practical Application:

**Set aside time daily to study and speak God’s Word aloud.

**Pick a verse and repeat it throughout the day. Let it sink deep into your heart.

**Replace fear-filled thoughts with Word-filled declarations.

📌 Other verses: Joshua 1:8, Psalm 1:2–3, Hebrews 4:12.

 2. Pray with Boldness and Expectation

“And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.” — 1 John 5:14

“Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” — Jeremiah 33:3

Prayer is not just talking to God; it’s aligning your heart with His will. When you pray with bold faith, you are declaring, “God, I trust You to do what only You can do.”

🔸 Practical Application:

**Pray using the Word. For every request, find a scripture to stand on.

**Pray believing, not begging.

**Keep a prayer journal to track answered prayers — it strengthens faith over time.

📌 Other verses: Mark 11:24, Matthew 7:7–8, Philippians 4:6–7.

 3. Surround Yourself with Faith-Building Voices

“He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will be destroyed.” — Proverbs 13:20

“Do not be misled: ‘Bad company corrupts good character.’” — 1 Corinthians 15:33

Your faith can be either strengthened or weakened by the voices you allow around you. Negative people will always see impossibilities; faith-filled people remind you of what God can do.

🔸 Practical Application:

**Listen to sermons, worship songs, and faith-building messages daily.

**Join a community or church where testimonies and encouragement are shared.

**Limit exposure to conversations that fuel fear, doubt, or unbelief.

📌 Other verses: Hebrews 10:24–25, Acts 2:42–47, Psalm 119:63.

 4. Act on the Word — Even When It’s Hard

“But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” — James 1:22

“Faith without works is dead.” — James 2:26

Faith isn’t just believing — it’s acting on what you believe. Peter didn’t walk on water by talking about it; he stepped out of the boat. Many times, your faith grows the most after you obey.

🔸 Practical Application:

**Take small steps of obedience where God has spoken.

**Don’t wait for everything to be perfect — start with what you have.

**Let your actions prove your faith.

📌 Other verses: Luke 5:5–6, Matthew 14:28–29, Genesis 12:1–4.

 5. Speak Words of Faith Consistently

“Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” — Proverbs 18:21

“Let the weak say, I am strong.” — Joel 3:10

What you say daily either builds or breaks your faith. God created the world by His Word, and as His children, we create realities with ours too.

🔸 Practical Application:

**Replace negative confessions (“I can’t,” “It’s too hard”) with faith declarations (“With God, all things are possible”).

**Speak what God says, not what circumstances say.

**Make daily confessions part of your routine.

📌 Other verses: Mark 11:23, Numbers 14:28, Isaiah 55:11.

6. Give Thanks Even Before the Miracle

“In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:18

“Do not be anxious about anything... but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” — Philippians 4:6

Thanksgiving is a sign of trust. When you thank God before the manifestation, you’re declaring, “Lord, I believe it’s already done.” Gratitude turns worry into worship and unlocks supernatural peace.

🔸 Practical Application:

**Start your day listing 5 things you’re thankful for.

**Thank God specifically for what you’re believing for — as though it’s already done.

**Make gratitude your daily language.

📌 Other verses: Psalm 100:4, John 11:41–44, Colossians 3:15–17.

 7. Wait Patiently and Endure Through Trials

“Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.” — James 1:3

“But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles.” — Isaiah 40:31

Faith isn’t just for instant miracles; it’s also for enduring seasons of silence. Some of the greatest testimonies happen after a period of waiting. Patience is not passive — it’s active trust.

🔸 Practical Application:

**Don’t quit in the waiting room. Keep doing what you know to do.

**Use waiting seasons to worship, grow, and serve.

**Remind yourself of God’s past faithfulness to sustain your hope.

📌 Other verses: Hebrews 6:12, Romans 8:25, Galatians 6:9.

Reflection

Faith is not a one-time event; it’s a journey. Every believer can grow stronger in faith by feeding on the Word, praying boldly, surrounding themselves with the right voices, acting in obedience, speaking life, giving thanks, and waiting patiently on God.

Your faith may be tested, but if you nurture it, it will become unshakable. Just like Ada’s testimony, your story will one day encourage others. God is faithful — hold on to His promises. 🙏🔥
