Walking in Patience: The Fruit of the Spirit 7-Day Bible-Reading Plan by Kenneth Copeland Ministriesনমুনা

Receiving a Miracle

If you need a miracle, the most crucial time in your faith life is the time that passes between your prayer and the manifestation of what you’re believing for.

It’s the time when things are being set in motion in the spirit realm, and yet, in the natural, everything still looks the same. It’s the time you’re most tempted to get discouraged and say, “Nothing is happening! I’ve been believing for this for a long time now, and it hasn’t come. I give up.”

The one thing that will keep your faith moving and your promise coming toward you is the fruit of patience. It gives you the ability to wait without wavering—to never give up. Patience is what keeps believing God—even when symptoms persist or time keeps passing. 

Patience is one of the keys to receiving a miracle. You don’t generally get miracles by just having faith for a few minutes and then caving in. You have to “fight the good fight of faith” (see today’s reading).

If you want to see the supernatural happen in your life, you can’t be like the man who described himself as having “a lot of faith, but not much fight.” You need faith that’s aggressive—faith that teams up with patience to pack a one-two punch that puts the devil on the run and brings the impossible to pass!

If you’ve been on the verge of giving up on your miracle—don’t. Get back in the ring. And this time, bring patience with you.
