Balancing the spiritual with the natural part of faith in Jesus Christ

The spiritual life demands that we balance the spiritual with the practical. People pray for healing in their bodies but won't do the work of developing a healthy diet or physical work of exercise. I wanted to be debt free for many years. I took progressive steps to pay off my debt. The last three debts I had to work on were a mortgage, a car note, and a credit card. I also desperately needed a new roof on my house. I prayed, and I made every effort to get out of debt. The spiritual part of the spiritual life demanded devotion to God in applying his word on a daily basis. I had to pay off my debt and applied extra pressure to the debt along the way by paying down the debt. God blessed me to receive additional monies in the form of birthday and Father's Day gifts. When others found out what I was doing, they sowed into my life. I took these extra monies and applied them to my debt. The first debt to drop was the car note. The second debt to be paid in full was my mortgage. At the beginning of January 2020, my mortgage stood at $11,000, by September 2020, it was paid in full. The third debt to be paid in full was a credit card with a $10,000 debt in January 2022. By April 2022, it was paid in full. The way the last debt was paid in full was a blessing in itself. God spoke to my heart and said, why are you waiting until the 18th of every month to pay your credit card payment? He said, why don't you pay something on it every day? I started paying on my Sears Master Card every single day, $5.00, $10.00, and $20.00. I was also giving and sowing blessings to other people. I did some yard work for a friend as a favor. He gave me $400.00. His neighbor asked me to cut down some bushes in her front yard. It took me 10 minutes and I got $50.00 for the job. I tithed off the first fruits and applied the rest to my credit card payment. The credit card was paid in full. All of these miracles of provision came during a time when nobody was working. I needed a new roof on my house. I was turned down for a loan, I had to apply the same lessons I had just learned paying off my car note, mortgage, and credit card. I started saving pennies, dimes, and any extra money I could save. I managed to save $12,000 in the credit union that originally denied me a loan. In April of 2022, I received an independent financial contribution, a financial gift of over $30,000 dollars. I paid in cash, $32,000, for repairs, upgrades, and a brand new roof. Pray works, but it's a partnership. God formed every beast of the field and brought them to Adam to be given names, that's partnership. Jesus had to do all the physical work of our salvation and God did the spiritual work of the resurrection. Lots of people are begging God for a blessing. God gives them seeds. You sow the seed and God multiplies the seed you sow, provides bread for your food, and increases the fruit of your labor, 2 Corinthians 9:6-15.
