Why don't we see more of the kingdom of God? One, because we don't believe, and two, because we don't persevere when we are believing. The power of perseverance is hard to overestimate. It is an absolutely essential characteristic that you must develop not only in your relationship with God but for success in anything in life. An attitude that says "I will never give up. I will never quit." - such a person is unstoppable. Every successful person knows this truth. But so often Christians try one theology for a week or two and move on when they don't see immediate results. We can't fall for this trap. We need to believe in Jesus, hold on to his word and never let go of them until we see them come to pass.
