"Let your light so shine before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and recognize and honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven." Matthew 5:16 AMP
Level 1-Zero belief in God
Level 2-You believe that there is God
Level 3-You believe in God, The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit
Level 4-You believe in God, The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit, reads the Bible, pray, active in church
Level 5-You are living all out for Jesus; “your light is shining before men”; has boldness to tell the whole world about the “Good News”
My faith fluctuates between Level 4 and Level 5. I’m trying to grow but sometimes there are instances that pulls me back to a lower level. It is hard to do it when you are in the battlefield most of the times. Knowing what level of faith you currently in is a good thing. Our faith should grow to the highest level after a few years of being in the faith. We grow in faith by exercising our beliefs. Expect something from God and when those expectations are met, our faith increases. But not just in victory that our faith grows, there are times that we encounter hardship and impossibility, these experiences also can drive our faith to a higher level. Faith is a daily journey. Our victory from yesterday does not promise a victory for the next day. The devil is real and he is always watching us when we feel vulnerable to temptations. Being watchful can help but the best defense is being constantly in the Word of God. Spend time daily reading the Bible and let the message speak to your heart. You don’t have to read other person’s devotional, you can create your own devotional and write the things that is reflected to you and meditate on it. For those who are just starting your faith journey, don’t get discouraged right away when you think you failed your faith. Once you are in The Kingdom, the Holy Spirit will guide you in every step. Be patient and let you inner being listen to the whisper of the Voice of God.
The levels of faith that I mentioned earlier is just for illustration only. I just made that up to quantify faith. There is really no way to quantify how much we believe in God. There are 2 levels of faith, Level 0 and Level 5. You are either for God or against God.
