Every individual determines their personal speed of spiritual growth. Does that statement surprise you? It really is true. You determine your own spiritual growth. You have probably noticed that someone can be saved for many years, and still be a baby Christian. And on the other hand, you might have known someone who just recently has been saved, and have grown leaps and bounds, because they have dug into the Word of God, they have gotten involved in church life, they have spent time in prayer and they have planted themselves in a life giving small group. Those really are four keys to personal spiritual growth! Let’s talk about them.
1) Be a person of the Word. Dig in, find a good study program, do word studies, get in a Bible Study and really make the Word of God your life. YouVersiion.com makes it so easy if you like doing your study on your phone or tablet.
2) Finding a life giving local church is vitally important too. You want to be in a church that is equipping you to do ministry, a place where teaching the whole Word of God is central, and where you can call your church home.
3) A third key is having great communication with God through prayer. Prayer really is just a conversation, but it is with the person who has your best interest at heart and loves you the most.
4) And lastly, getting involved in a TeamLife group really helps you grow, iron sharpens iron, and you have the opportunity to grow spiritually in a small group, bringing refreshing to your life! What a great way to get recharged.
