Big Healing Book - Hebrews 6:12

Hebrews 6:12:

That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

Notes on Hebrews 6:12:

If all healings were instantaneous, you would not need patience; faith alone would be enough. But when you don’t see the answer immediately, patience comes in.

Bible patience is not resignation! You’re not just throwing up your hands, saying, “Oh, well, I guess God will do something about this in His time when He sees fit.” Bible patience is like the bite of a bulldog – it lays hold of something and refuses to let go, regardless of circumstances. It is not even saying, “I’m just twiddling my thumbs waiting for a manifestation.” Real patience never backs down until that manifestation comes. It does not slide back into “neutral” or give up hope.

You have patience because it is a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). Some Christians say, “I don’t have any patience,” but what they really mean is, “I have the fruit of patience, but it is not in manifestation because I allow my flesh to dominate me.”
