Exposing Satan's Playbook The Perry Stone

Patience breeds confidence, and holding to your confidence brings a great “recompense of reward.” The Greek word for this phrase is misthapodosia and is similar to saying a “reimbursement in pay.” A good imagery for this would be you taking a business trip that required you purchasing gas, food, and lodging. After returning home, you give your boss the receipts for expenses from the trip, and in turn he or she pays you back the amount you spent. The idea behind Hebrews 10:35–36 is if you will be patient and keep your confidence (trust, assurance), eventually you will receive a great reimbursement for your faithfulness! God is a “rewarder” of those who diligently seek Him (Heb. 11:6). The word rewarder here is the same Greek root word used for “recompense” in Hebrews 10:35. The benefit of exercising faith and patience is that a good outcome can be expected from waiting upon the Lord. When you understand that the adversary has limitations and is running out of time, that your own test has a set cycle that must come to a climax at some point, and that your faith and patience can outlast the attack, then you have exposed another area of spiritual warfare that the enemy hoped you would never find out!
