These words are faithful and true (Rev. 21:5).

One way to strengthen our faith is to think about the power of Jehovah. He has the power to make everything He promises come true. Ultimately, he is the Almighty (Job 42:2; Mark 10:27; Eph. 3:20). He told Abraham and Sarah that they would have a son even though they were very old (Gen. 17:15-17). He also assured Abraham that he would give his descendants the land of Canaan. But for many years the descendants of Abraham, that is, the Israelites, were slaves in Egypt, so perhaps they thought that this promise would never be fulfilled. However, it was fulfilled. He assured Mary, a virgin, that she would give birth to his Son. That would fulfill a promise that Jehovah had made thousands of years earlier in the Garden of Eden (Gen. 3:15). When we think about all the promises Jehovah made and how he fulfilled them, we see his great power. This strengthens our faith that he will bring the new world (Josh. 23:14; Is. 55:10, 11). w23.04 28 paras. 10-12.

What do Joshua 23:14 and Isaiah 55:10, 11 assure us about the power of Jehovah?

When we think about all the promises Jehovah made and how he fulfilled them, we see his great power. This strengthens our faith that he will bring the new world (read Joshua 23:14; Isaiah 55:10, 11). As a result, we will be better equipped to help others understand that the promise of the new world is neither a dream nor a fantasy. In fact, Jehovah said this regarding the new heaven and new earth: “These words… are faithful and true” (Rev. 21:1, 5).

How do meetings strengthen our faith?

The third way to strengthen our faith is by focusing on spiritual activities. Let's think, for example, how much meetings help us. Anna,b who has served for many years in different facets of full time, says: “The meetings are like an anchor that keeps my faith strong. Even if the speaker is not such a good teacher or does not say anything new, I always hear something that helps me better understand some truth from the Bible, and thus my faith becomes greater.” In the meetings we also hear comments that strengthen our faith (Rom. 1:11, 12; 10:17).

How does preaching strengthen our faith?

We also strengthen our faith by participating in preaching (Heb. 10:23). Barbara, who has been a Witness for more than 70 years, says: “Preaching has always greatly strengthened my faith. “I realize that the more I talk about Jehovah and his wonderful promises, the greater my faith.”

How does personal study strengthen our faith? (See also images).

Let's look at something else that strengthens our faith: personal study. Susan says having a schedule helps her a lot. She says: “On Sundays I study The Watchtower for the following week; Mondays and Tuesdays are the midweek meeting, and the other days are dedicated to a personal study project.” Since she always follows that schedule, Susan's faith is growing. For Irene, who has been at world headquarters for many decades, studying Bible prophecies has strengthened her faith. She explains: “I am very impressed to see how Jehovah's prophecies are fulfilled to the letter.”
