11 And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence being filled with the full assurance of our hope until the end, 12 that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
13 For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself, 14 saying, “Surely in blessing I will bless you, and in multiplying I will multiply you.”[a] 15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
......Some promises we must exercise patience to obtain them like our mansion in heaven that Jesus went and is preparing for us and like the 2nd coming of the Lord to take us home and like the casting forth of our bread upon the water.
.....Some promises are for the immediate right now such as forgiveness and being born again and the infilling of the Holy Spirit.
.....Some of the things we pray for must be mixed with patience. First the blade, then the ear, then the full corn of the ear which is the prayers harvest time..
......Things/material things we must believe we receive when we pray and thank God daily that they are ours and shall come to pass.
.......The patience of sure faith is joy and certainty mixed with praise and thanksgiving to God knowing we have what we have said and prayed (Mark 11:23-24). It shall come to pass. The desire by faith in prayer has been planted into the ground of my life. It is taking root. It will grow up and produce the fruit of my hearts desire as Jesus said......deno.
