Chapter 6

Practice Patience

What motivates you today? What keeps you going? What causes you to continue to stand when everybody else is giving up? Is it what God says in His Word—that if God said it, that settles it? "Standing" should become a vital part of your life. It should become first nature to you. When you get up in the morning, you shouldn't have to ask yourself,

"Should I breathe today?" You just breathe.

You shouldn't have to ask yourself, "Should I keep standing?" It's natural when you live by faith. If you're willing to stand, then you can count on it, every dream God gives you will come to pass.

For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself. Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

Hebrews 6:13-15

There was a time in our judiciary system when somebody laid their left hand on the Bible, raised their right hand and said, "I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth," you knew that they were going to give an accurate account of what they had witnessed.

What are they saying when they do this?

I swear by a greater authority than myself.

Why do they use the Bible? Because it represents the greater authority. When God made promise to Abraham, the Word says there was no higher authority than God.

Who is He going to turn to and say, "I swear"? There is no one higher than He. So, He swore by Himself meaning He laid the entire corporate structure of Heaven on the line. If He ever breaks His word, He loses everything He represents and owns. That's powerful. You know as well as I do, God will never lie. He took an oath. He didn't have to do it, but He did it for us.

When you're reading the Word of God and you're standing on a promise, you should start to imagine God taking that oath.

When God made his promise to Abraham, he backed it to the hilt, putting his own reputation on the line. He said, I promise that I'll bless you with everything I have—bless and bless and bless! Abraham stuck it out and got everything that had been promised to him.

Hebrews 6:13-15 (The Message) Learn to "stick it out"—it really pays off!

Remember the Word also says that the vision is for an appointed time. That tells me that it may not come to pass the moment you receive it. There may be some time involved. You must be prepared for that.

You've got to be willing to wait for that vision to materialize. If you become disappointed because it didn't happen in a week, then I can tell you, the vision will never become a reality in your life. There is a due season with God. Once you understand that, it eliminates the frustration.

You don't have to be bothered with, "Well, I wonder when it's going to happen.
