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

DAY 5 OF 7

A Testimony of Patience

On our Believer’s Voice of Victory broadcast years ago, we shared an interview with a family that revealed just how crucial remaining fully persuaded—and patient—can be. 

Their son had been in an accident that had severed his spinal cord. His neck was broken in four places and his ear was cut off. He died six times on the operating table, and though they were able to revive him, he went into a coma.

The doctors said he’d never regain consciousness, and if he survived, he’d be in a permanent vegetative state. (Whenever you receive a bad report of any kind, know that you are at a spiritual crossroads—what will you choose?)

This family chose to stand on God’s Word for the boy’s healing. They prayed and agreed that he would live and not die and declare the works of the Lord. Now, here is where patience came in.

For 28 days, they continued to believe and declare the Word over him. For 28 days, even though it looked like nothing was happening, they put faith and patience to work. On day 29, the boy’s spinal cord was miraculously put back together. He came out of the coma and kept getting better until he was totally healed and restored. We showed a video of him running a marathon!

What would have happened if that family had gotten discouraged and quit believing God on day 10 or day 23? 

Nothing. That boy would have stayed in the coma and never recovered. That family wouldn’t have gotten their miracle because when faith quits, the miraculous quits. 

Patience takes you through the hard places and gets you to victory. Be inspired by this testimony of faith, and think about it the next time you need patience to see a miracle in your own life.
