At Strongfaith.net we believe that emotional illnesses mainly have their root in fear. And that the antidote to fear is faith. Thus, it is our goal to inspire you to begin a journey toward the development of a strong personal faith. The basis for the faith that we hope to see developed in your life is that which is based in the Bible. The following are some of the ways we help to have a successful journey to strong faith. 1) We help you see the enormous value of your life. In your current mindset you may feel your life is finished and that there is no hope of achieving happiness and productivity but don't you believe it. Scores of people have 'comeback stories', so why not you? The truth is God has an amazing plan for your life and we are committed to seeing His purposes accomplished in your life. Television, movies, criminals and terrorists would try to devalue human life, but God puts great value on life, and is all about helping people overcome their problems. Begin seeing yourself as God sees you and start helping yourself get well. This website is a great place to start. 2) We help you identify who you your true friends are. Do they inspire you to be all that you can be? Are they emotionally healthy? 3) We help monitor your spoken words? Did you know that your spoken words have creative force? Just like God's words had power to create the world into existence, we were created in His image, with His ability to speak things into existence. You can use your tongue to put you over, in life, or put you under. The choice is yours. Has your tongue been helping you lately or hurting you? When coming to us for help, we will put you on a 'vocabulary diet', whereby you use God's Word to help you out of the situation you now find yourself. 4) If you are a Christian, we help you access your church? Is it a place of vibrant worship and relevant teaching that inspires you to believe God for all that He has promised us in His Word? Do they teach the principles of Bible faith, as shown here. Do they have a discipleship program, which fast tracks you in your development to becoming a committed, mature Christian? Does it have small group meetings where you can share your life struggles and in turn offer helpful suggestions to others who are in need? To locate a good church in your area, use these suggested guidelines. 5) We help you chose good books to read. May we suggest you read The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. This book is sweeping the Christian community like no other in a very long time. This book can be purchased at almost any bookstore. Other good books are 'Pilgrims Progress' by John Bunyan, and 'In His Steps' by Charles Sheldon. 6) If you are a Christian, or thinking about becoming a Christian, we recommend good courses to enrol in, such as the Alpha Course . The Alpha Course is a unique 12 week program that teaches the basics of Christianity. This is a world renown program that is currently being offered in many churches in almost every community across the US, Canada and abroad. 7) We help you receive the free gift of salvation from God, which is the cleansing of your soul from sin. While it is not necessary to be a Christian to be happy (in this life), a relationship with Jesus Christ can help you in your quest for peace and happiness, as well as prepare you for eternity when you die. To find out more about this spiritual principle, click on this link which will take you to a page on Billy Graham's website. Dr. Billy Graham is a world renown Christian evangelist, highly respected in most Christian circles. Allow him to explain to you the biblical steps of conversion to Christianity. 8) We will assess your life to see in what ways your belief system is hindering your development of becoming a strong, peaceful, confident person. And we will recommend ways to change your belief structure so it works for you and not against you. 9) We help you respond better to life's challenges which helps you feel you are in control of your life. Don't try to take control of your situations, but take control in your situations, and you will see the difference it makes in your life. 10) We help you identify spiritual attacks and teach you how to disarm them before they cause you harm.
