Proverbs 4:7 (KJV): Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore, get wisdom, and with all that you get, get understanding.
—
The realm of the spirit has principles and patterns. These are founded on the wisdom of God.
In our day, I have seen an error by some Christians who use faith as an excuse to break these spiritual patterns.
They have been taught an aggressive form of faith that defies divine order.
Faith has become the hammer with which some break down the doors whose keys they do not have.
They are determined to pray until something happens (PUSH) while abusing what God has laid down in the scriptures as the way they must follow.
For example, a Christian may refuse to practice a principle like submission to spiritual authority and spend days on a mountaintop seeking God for what He has placed in the hands of another man. You cannot jump this pattern in the name of faith and expect results.
God respects His principles, and so must you. Never assume that strong faith is a substitute for broken patterns.

GOLDEN NUGGET: God respects His principles, and so must you. Never assume that strong faith is a substitute for broken patterns.
Prayer: Loving Father, I thank You for this word. It casts light on my path and shows me which way I should go. I exercise faith in wisdom and will never breach divine principles because this knowledge works in me, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
