those with knowledge grow stronger and stronger.
2. Live in God’s WORD and let His word live in YOU.

the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory
to God
4. Keep your JOY in God.

Nehemiah 8:10 (ESV) Then he said to them, “Go your way. Eat the
fat and drink sweet wine and send portions to anyone who has
nothing ready, for this day is holy to our Lord. And do not be grieved,
for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”

6. SERVE God with a whole-hearted commitment.
2 Chronicles 16:9 (NLT) The eyes of the Lord search the whole
earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to
him. What a fool you have been! From now on you will be at war.”

7. Walk by FAITH.
Hebrews 11:33-34 (NLT) By faith these people overthrew kingdoms,
ruled with justice, and received what God had promised them. They
shut the mouths of lions, 34 quenched the flames of fire, and escaped
death by the edge of the sword. Their weakness was turned to
strength. They became strong in battle and put whole armies to flight.
Psalm 18:39 (NLT) You have armed me with strength for the battle;
you have subdued my enemies under my feet.

poison or fruit—you choose.
9. Praying in the HOLY SPIRIT.
Jude 1:20 (MSG) But you, dear friends, carefully build yourselves up
in this most holy faith by praying in the Holy Spirit, staying right at the
center of God’s love, keeping your arms open and outstretched,
ready for the mercy of our Master, Jesus Christ. This is the unending
life, the real life!
10. Acknowledge your WEAKNESS!
2 Corinthians 12:9 (NKJV) And He said to me, “My grace is
sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.”
Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the
power of Christ may rest upon me.
