What are the five daily disciplines for a believer?

Answered by Gene Cunningham, Basic Training Bible Ministries · from The Basics, Lesson 4–3: Testing—Temptation

The five daily disciplines are: first, begin each day filled with the Holy Spirit and maintain that state through the confession of mental, verbal, and overt sins. Second, meet the day with study and prayer. Third, be alert to apply the faith-rest technique daily. Fourth, be alert to open doors of service. Finally, make the family the base of operations in applying doctrines. Following these disciplines ensures obedience to commands and the realization of biblical promises regarding spiritual growth and service.
