USING FAITH

Hebrews 11:33 “Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouth of lions”

In this verse, I see majorly three things faith is used for and I will state them in ascending order.
I believe it is to:
    1.     Obtain promises.
    2.     Work (wrought) righteousness.
    3.     Subdue kingdoms.
Most people use their faith only to obtain promises, which translate to claiming the blessings of God, especially, material, physical, and financial blessings. There is nothing wrong with that, in fact, I believe that is where we all start from so we can hone our faith for the greater things in life.
This scripture says:

2 Peter 1:3-4 “According as His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness. Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises…”

But the same way, you use your faith to obtain promises in line with healing, prosperity, etc you are to use it to live holy and righteous life. It is the same faith.

Confession/Prayer:

Through faith, I obtain promises, wrought righteousness and subdue kingdoms.
