Walking In Abundance- Part 14

October 28, 2026 – 3:43 am

In order to walk in abundance, we must have an attitude of faith and patience!

Wisdom recorded in Proverbs chapter 4:

20 My son, give attention to My Words; Incline your ear to My Sayings.

21 Do not let Them depart from your eyes; Keep Them in the midst of your heart;

22 For They are Life to those who find Them, And health to all their flesh.

23 Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.

God’s Abundance can only be apprehended by revelation from the Word of God by the Spirit of God and that there is a direct connection between the abundance of God and the promises of God.

God’s provisions are in His promises and are now available to us in Christ.  They are the expression of God’s Will and HE never promised to do anything that was not His will to do.  The fulfillment of God’s promises does not depend on our circumstances but upon our meeting God’s conditions.  

We must never take our eyes off the promises and begin to look at the circumstances and then say the circumstances are too difficult. God actually delights to do the most in the most difficult circumstances.

How do we go about appropriating God’s promises?  How do we move into our inheritance, which is the promises of God?

First, let the Holy Spirit direct you to the appropriate promises. That’s very important. It really isn’t up to you to select the promise that you want.

The Holy Spirit is the Administrator of our inheritance. He’s the one who shows us the promise that’s in the will of God and relevant to our situation at any given time and when the Holy Spirit directs us to a promise, He also imparts to us the faith to appropriate that promise.

We don’t make demands on God, we don’t give orders to God, but by being sensitive to the Holy Spirit, we discover God’s will for us in any given situation revealed in His promises.

It’s not a formula. You can’t just reduce God to a formula. God is Spirit. That’s the most important fact. God is Spirit. You can’t put Spirit in a box or reduce Spirit to a mathematical equation—that isn’t how it works. But if you relate to the Holy Spirit as a person, make friends with Him, become intimate with Him, He will direct you into your inheritance in the promises.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 16:

13 However, when He, the Spirit of Truth, has come, He will guide you into all Truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.

14 He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.

15 All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.

So, on that basis, I say the Holy Spirit is the administrator of the total inheritance. All that belongs to the Father, belongs to Jesus. But what belongs to the Father and to Jesus is administered, imparted to us, by the Holy Spirit. He takes what belongs to Jesus and makes it known to us and as we receive from the Holy Spirit, we become really heirs to the whole inheritance but the initiative is with the Holy Spirit.

He’s the One Who guides us into all Truth. If we part company with the Holy Spirit, we’ll soon find that we’ve parted company with the Truth. We are not capable of coming into the real Truth of God apart from the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit in any given situation, knowing God’s plan for our lives and knowing the Word of God perfectly, will direct us to that part of the Word of God which will also fulfill God’s plan for our lives.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:

14 For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

That’s a continuous present tense. Those who are continually being led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. This is not a once-for-all contact—it’s an ongoing association with the Holy Spirit. As we are regularly and continually led by the Holy Spirit, we live as sons of God. We become children of God through the new birth, through being born again of the spirit but we live as God’s mature sons when we’re regularly led by the Holy Spirit.

The second step to appropriating God’s promises is this: When the Holy Spirit has led you to a given promise in the Word of God, study and fulfill the conditions.

That’s important. Most of God’s promises are conditional. In most cases, the promises of God begin with a word like “if.” God says, “If you do so, I will do so.”

Now it’s childish and immature to try to claim God’s promise without studying and fulfilling the condition. You cannot ignore the “if.” You cannot try to tie God down to doing something He’s promised to do on certain conditions if you don’t first meet the conditions.

Moses recorded by THE SPIRIT in Exodus chapter 15:

26 “If thou will diligently hearken to the Voice of the Lord and will do that which is right in His sight and will give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put upon thee none of the diseases that I have brought upon the Egyptians for I am the Lord that healeth thee.”

That’s a tremendous promise! God says I’ll put no sickness upon you. I’ll be your Healer. But you can’t claim that without noting the “if.” There are four conditions:

“If thou will diligently hearken,”

“if thou will do that which is right in His sight,”

“if thou will give ear to His commandments,”

“if thou will keep all His statutes.”

On those four conditions God says, “I am the Lord that healeth thee.” Do not claim the Lord as your healer and bypass the conditions.

The third step to appropriating God’s promises is this: Maintain an attitude of faith and act appropriately. There is both attitude and act. You have to adopt a posture of believing and then, where appropriate, you have to act in accordance with what you believe. Scripture says, “Faith without works [without appropriate acts] is dead.”

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 6:

12 “That you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.”

Notice, it’s not enough to have faith, you’ve got to have faith and patience. When you’ve located the promise, when you’ve met the conditions, you have to hold on in an attitude of faith or trust until the promise is fulfilled. There’s often a time lag between your meeting the conditions and the promise being fulfilled. That the test of whether you really have faith.

And in Hebrews chapter 10:

36 “For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised.”

The same principle is true there. There’s a time lag. You do the will of God, you meet the conditions and then you hold on. You don’t give up. And in due course, in God’s sovereignty, the promise is completely fulfilled. It’s very important to maintain that attitude of faith and to act accordingly.
