What if the turning point isn’t the miracle itself, but the moment you decide to seek God and act on what you believe? We open Hebrews 11:6 and sit with a tough, beautiful truth: faith starts by believing God is, then deepens by trusting he rewards those who seek him. From Mary’s unflinching yes to the seed-and-gift analogies, we explore how faith grows only when it’s planted, watered, and used—never when it’s admired from a distance.
We talk about the danger of living on second-hand spirituality, chasing borrowed light or prophetic thrills while neglecting the presence of God. Real stability comes when your confidence is anchored in the Giver, not in gifted people. Then we walk through three hero paths from Hebrews: those who see promises fulfilled, those who receive the dead raised, and those who refuse false deliverance even at great cost. Along the way we wrestle with deliverance versus grace, Job’s fierce trust, and Paul’s thorn that taught sufficiency. Sometimes God shuts the lions’ mouths. Sometimes he strengthens the heart to stand. Either way, Christ is magnified.
You’ll also hear a firsthand healing testimony that reshaped how we pray: believe that you receive when you pray, then step toward it. Language matters—try leaks doubt, while I will pairs belief with action. If you’re praying for provision, build value and walk into favour. If you’re asking for healing, speak life and move in the measure you have. Seek his face, not just his hand. Grow the mustard seed you were given through Scripture, prayer, and obedience until it throws shade for many.
If this resonated with you, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs courage today, and leave a review with the step of faith you’re taking this week. Your story might be the spark that helps someone else seek the Rewarder.
