How It Works: Faith, Action, and Patience to Inherit God’s Promises

 

“Faith, action, and patience bringing forth growth and divine prosperity.”


How It Works: Faith, Action, and Patience to Inherit God’s Promises (Hebrews 6:1–12)

"Do not become lazy, but follow those whose faith and patience empower them to inherit what has been promised." – Hebrews 6:12 (KSB)

   Every person on this earth is meant to live a happy, healthy, prosperous, successful, and love-filled life, according to the desire of God for all beloved offspring. However, many are not prosperous because they do not understand how prosperity works. It is essential to recognize the way this process unfolds.

   Firstly, faith is foundational. Faith is the ability to know that what is desired is already done in the heavenly realm. This faith moves what is done in the invisible realm into the visible realm, bridging the spiritual to the physical. It is the certainty that success and abundance exist already, waiting to be manifested in the earthly experience.

   Secondly, after faith, work must follow. Effort, energy, and action aligned with spiritual guidance are necessary to bring the promise into expression and fruition. Faith without corresponding works does not produce results; the work activates what faith has declared complete.

   Thirdly, patience is essential. After exercising faith and performing the work, patience is required to allow the manifestation to unfold at the right and perfect time. Immediate results are not guaranteed; endurance and steadfastness support receiving the full promise.

   It is through faith, works, and patience that people may inherit the prosperity and success intended for them. By embracing these principles, individuals can align with the process through which God’s promises become reality.

📖 Reflection: Which part of the faith–works–patience process do you find most challenging, and how can you strengthen it this week?

💡 Action Step: Choose one promise you are believing for. Exercise faith through prayer, take one step of aligned action, and wait patiently for God’s timing.

Universe Means One Thing: Love

  Universe Means One Thing: Love "For all the law is fulfilled in this one word, love: Love your neighbor as yourself."   Galatians 5:14 (KSB)    Sometimes, the word “universe” can feel mysterious even spooky to some. Others think it's irreverent or sacrilegious when used in spiritual conversations. But what if we redefined it? What if “universe” simply meant love? What if it meant God, since God is love?  When we say, “the universe,” we can think of it as pointing to one word love. Just one word. The entire Bible, composed of 66 books and written by over 40 different authors, ultimately speaks to one central theme: love. From beginning to end, this divine book points us toward loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others.  In the Old Testament, God's people had 636 laws civil, ceremonial, and moral. They guided everything from relationships to religious festivals. But then Jesus came and said, “Let me make this simple Love God. Love yourself. L...

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement

  Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."   Galatians 5:6 (KSB)    With everything going on around us, it's easy to feel lost. Distractions come quickly, disappointments pile up, and discouragement sneaks in. We all face these moments. But even when we get off track, there is a way back and that path is through our faith, principles, and core values.  When you live your life anchored in principles, it gives you a compass for when the road gets unclear. Knowing your vision, your mission, and your core values makes it easier to realign when life feels out of control. But if you don’t know who you are, how can you get back to being your best self? If you don’t know what you stand on, what can you stand up on after a fall?    Clarity of purpose keeps you ...

Hidden Treasure: You Are a Vessel, Not Just an Instrument

I AM Not an Instrument. I AM a Vessel “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7 (KSB) Hidden in Plain Sight The image that Paul presents in 2 Corinthians 4 is that of a treasure hidden within an earthen vessel. In the Old Testament, people didn’t have locks, alarm systems, or cameras to protect their valuables. Instead, their belongings were often left exposed, making them vulnerable to thieves and robbers. To safeguard their most valuable treasures, they would hide them in jars of clay—earthen vessels—placing them in plain sight. A thief or robber would never think to look there because it wasn’t an obvious hiding place. Likewise, God has placed something valuable inside of you—a treasure of great worth. Yet, people often fail to see it. You may be right in front of them, but they don’t recognize your gifts, skills, talents, anointing, abilities, or sensitivities. You are hidden in plain sight bec...
