Seeking spiritual growth brings you on a journey to knowing and understanding yourself more as you gain guidance from God and the angels.
Spiritual growth is a process or a journey where one gets to develop self-identity and relationships with others and with God. Growing spiritually allows one to have more understanding and awareness of what’s around.
Bill McCracken’s Spiritual Warfare Through Christian Unity: A Starter Kit by Jesus to Grow With is a Bible-based book that helps its readers grow spiritually. This book allows readers to discover about God’s love and mysterious actions. Moreover, it studies God’s Word, giving its readers the enlightenment they need in their spiritual journey.
If you are seeking the best ways to grow spiritually, here are 6 ways to gain spiritual growth:
Read the Bible
The Bible is a collection of books from ancient times that talk about the miracles, mysteries, and glory of God. These books have scriptures you can decode or relate to in your everyday life. A Bible scripture or word of God is a guidance and reminder that a Higher Power helps us and listens to our pleas.
Reading the Bible allows you to spend more time and meditate on God’s word. Some of the prayers recited in churches are in the Bible. As someone on a spiritual journey, meditating on God’s words allows you to open up your eyes to the reality of life. You can reflect on the scriptures and see the world from a different angle.
Pray
Prayers are a means of communication and connection with the higher power. As Christians, we pray to God when we need something to talk about. Sometimes, we think our prayers are unanswered. We think God is ignoring us, but God is always listening. In prayers, you grow into a new individual as you hear yourself pray for the world. Moreover, prayers give us a chance to glorify, thank, apologize, and ask for anything we need to pursue the challenges in our ways.
Go to Church
A church is a safe haven where you can express your deepest desires in your prayers. Here, you can connect with other believers and form a fellowship that helps you grow further as a Christian. Other believers will always have their own ideas to share from their own spiritual journey experiences. With that, you can learn how you cope with the difficulties you encounter between you and your goals.
Together with the other faithful people, you can find a community that will have the same interest as yours. Additionally, you can discover opportunities that will give you enlightenment for the world.
Worship God
Spiritual journeys allow you to feel like you are fully connected with God. With that, you should also have the feeling of worshiping Him and his glory. As Christians, we owe everything we have to the Creator. Moreover, we praise Him for all the goodness that is happening in the world. Even if we are experiencing strife, we must still raise our voices to worship Him. With that, all of the negative feelings you feel will go away.
Repent
As Christians, we already know that we owe our lives to the sacrifice of God’s son, Jesus. If it was not for Him, we would not experience everything we have now. Repenting and putting aside our sins also let us know that we are growing spiritually. We get to understand ourselves better, realizing things on how to correct the bad things we did.
Do What is Good
We are Christians, and we should pursue goodness. Doing good for others will do us a good favor from others. Pursuing what is good also means that we should not go after worldly objects and ideas, but we should go after what God loves.
