Atomic Habits by James Clear is an incredible book about how to grow and become the person that you want to be. It is a general purpose book that can be applied to anything; but the real power comes from using Atomic Habits to grow spiritually and intentionally develop great faith.
Let's take a journey through several scriptures on faith that describe what faith is, where it comes from and how it can grow!
God has many names in the Bible. We never see Him explicitly called "The God who Multiplies" but we do see this in His character and the call He places in His followers in bearing fruit.
This is the story about how I decided to purchase greatfaith.com and start this ministry.
Faith allows us to see things that are eyes cannot see. It gives us vision to see the future we hope for and things that are invisible. With faith we have confidence to face uncertainty knowing that God will provide for our needs when our own power is not sufficient.
The enemy loves to disrupt marriages with discontent and discord, but with the power of the Holy Spirit and the authority of Jesus we can fight back!

Three days after the Red Sea, Israel found bitter water and God introduced Himself by a new name: the God who heals.
John was told to behold a Lion and turned around to see a Lamb. Where the Lion of Judah comes from, and why the inversion is the whole gospel.

A Moabite widow makes one promise on a famine road - your people, my people; your God, my God - and the promise ends at the throne of David.
Proverbs 31 is an acrostic victory song meant to be sung over a woman, not assigned to her. The only other woman Scripture gives the title is a destitute foreign widow.
An orphan in a foreign empire, one closed door away from genocide, in the only book of the Bible that never names God. He is everywhere in it anyway.
God introduced Himself as El Shaddai to a ninety-nine-year-old man He was about to make a father. The name shows up where ability ends.
Moses asked for a name to take back to Egypt, and God answered with a sentence: I AM WHO I AM. What the name means and why it matters.
The only person in the Bible who gives God a name is a pregnant runaway slave. The name she chose was "the God who sees me."
A prostitute in Jericho speaks the clearest theology in the book of Joshua, saves her family, and ends up in the genealogy of Jesus.
Delivered of seven demons, funder of the ministry, present at the cross, and the first person the risen Jesus chose to see. Her real story is better than the myth.
Israel's only female judge held court under a palm tree, and the nation's general refused to go to war without her. Forty years of peace followed.

Everyone in Israel's army measured the giant against themselves. The shepherd measured him against God. That arithmetic is the whole story.

Betrayed, sold, enslaved, imprisoned, forgotten - and twenty years later Joseph named what God had been doing the whole time. Genesis 50:20 is the verdict.
