PATIENCE UNDERGIRDS FAITH


Dear One,
With faith and patience.
With faith and patience.
With faith and patience you will inherit My promises.
When you look at the word "faith" you will see that the concept of faith incorporates patience in is basic meaning. Faith is the spiritual power that makes good things happen, and patience is the answer to the time element involved between seeing the need and the final fulfillment of the need.
If there was no time element involved, then there would be no need for faith because faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Faith knows that the need will be fulfilled in the future.
With the gift of true faith comes the fruit of patience because the fulfillment of the need or desire is evidenced spiritually before it is evidenced materially.
That is why faith is so immovable, because it spiritually evidences the answer to a prayer before the answer is materially visible.
Faith says that I am not a liar in my promise to meet all of your needs.
Love, God
