Day Eight: Stir up the gift

Posted by David Weir

Hebrews 6:11-12 (New International Version)
11We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, in order to make your hope sure. 12We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.

As we enter the second week, let's remember that faith and patience work together. Think about these spiritual principles:

1. Faith takes patience (example: Abraham).
2. Fear gives up right before the miracle.
3. Satan sends circumstances, suggestions, disappointments, and hindrances to stop our faith.

Let's stay in a state of high expectation. Doubt may come into our minds, but we don't have to let it into our hearts. Instead we need to speak God's promises and encourage one another.

2 Timothy 1:7 (New King James Version)
7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

Practical Tip

I have heard testimonies of immediate breakthroughs and some that happened later in the year, last year. Just be convinced of this: God will reward you for diligently seeking Him.
