Faith and learning English

If you must learn the English language, then to listen to the voice of Jesus will open up your potential to learn. Jesus said "Have faith in God" if you combine your learning English with your service to Yahuah, who is the only true God, you will learn English faster and more effectively. To learn English with the help of the grace of God will help you along. So always pray that Yahuah will help you to learn. Put Yahuah first in all you do. Make sure that you are giving at least ten percent of your income to Yahuah in his Church and so it will be that Yahuah will help you to learn without you having to kill yourself to do it. This ten percent is called the tithe. Faith in God then is helpful in your learning English, not only so but the word faith come from the hebrew word emunah which means faithfulness and faith. If you are faithful to begin to pray simple prayers to Yahuah in English, first the Lords prayer of course, and to learn certain scriptures in English, you will also improve your learning of English.
