Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up.
How to Leverage the Word of God for Your Good
About this episode
Dr. Jerry Grillo, pastor and author, joins Philip Cameron for a conversation that reframes how believers engage the Word of God — not as a comfort text, but as a lever capable of lifting what no natural effort can move. Drawing on the physics of a fulcrum and lever, Dr. Grillo explains that "leverage is when you have a minimal amount of pull with a maximum amount of lift" — and that the Word of God functions as exactly that lever in the life of a kingdom-minded believer. The discussion moves through kingdom theology versus religious attendance, the distinction between "hosting" the kingdom and merely attending a church service, and the meaning of "due season" in Galatians 6:9. Dr. Grillo unpacks the Greek and Hebrew roots of the word "due," revealing it carries the idea of perpetuity — something already belonging to you, waiting to be released. He also draws on Deuteronomy 29:29 to distinguish revelation from knowledge, arguing that "revelation is divine permission" and that ancient truth made new is what unlocks breakthrough. Dr. Grillo is the author of multiple books including Pray for Rain, Live Big Dream Big Be Big, and Survive to Thrive, all available on Amazon. To connect with his ministry, visit jerrygrillocom.

Quotes worth sharing
“The kingdom of God doesn't lean. The kingdom of God stands. We don't lean left. We don't lean right. We stand. We stand. We stand for the kingdom. We stand for truth. We stand for freedom. We stand for power. We stand for prosperity. We don't have to lean.”
“The lever is the Word. Jesus is the Word. The lever is the Word. The pivotal point to that lever is the Holy Spirit. So when I know how to use the Word and the Spirit against the physical realms of the earth, you can lift money. I can pull on the Word and I can pull with a minimum amount of effort. But the Word and the Spirit give me a maximum amount of lift.”
“Don't lose your spirit. Don't give up the spirit side. Don't become spiritless when it's time to lift heavy. For you shall reap in due season. And so what precedes due season is weariness, where hell fights you physically, trying to break you spiritually. Because if he kills the giver in me, he's won.”

What's Discussed
Dr. Jerry Grillo, pastor and author based in Hickory, North Carolina, teaches Philip Cameron about kingdom leverage — the principle that the Word of God, combined with the Holy Spirit, functions as a lever and fulcrum capable of lifting assignments too large for natural ability. He distinguishes between attending church as an event and actively hosting the kingdom. Referencing Galatians 6:9, he explains that "due season" weariness is spiritual, not physical — hell attacks the spirit to prevent breakthrough. Drawing on Deuteronomy 29:29, he defines revelation as "divine permission" and ancient truth made new. He closes by challenging believers to shift from believing "for" a miracle to believing "from" it — because in kingdom perpetuity, it already belongs to them.

The secret things belong to Yahweh our God; but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.
For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.”

Common questions
What does Dr. Jerry Grillo mean when he talks about 'leverage' in the Christian life?
Dr. Grillo uses the image of a lever and fulcrum to explain spiritual leverage: just as a lever lets you lift a boulder you could never move with your bare hands, the Word of God (the lever) and the Holy Spirit (the fulcrum) let you accomplish things that are physically impossible on your own. The key insight is that you get a minimum amount of pull with a maximum amount of lift — but only when the task in front of you is bigger than you can handle naturally.
Why does Dr. Grillo say God has to give you an assignment that's too big for you?
According to Dr. Grillo, God intentionally puts a weight in front of you that you cannot lift on your own, because that's the only moment you'll actually reach for kingdom leverage. If you can perform the task yourself, there's no need for the Word and the Spirit to move in that area — so the assignment has to exceed your natural ability before leverage becomes necessary.
What does 'don't be weary in well doing' actually mean in Galatians 6:9, according to Dr. Grillo?
Dr. Grillo says the word 'weary' in that verse is not about physical fatigue — you're allowed to be tired and overwhelmed. What Paul is warning against is losing your spirit: becoming spiritless when it's time to lift something heavy. Hell fights you physically, he explains, specifically to break you spiritually, because if the spirit in you gives up, the enemy has won.
What's the difference between 'believing for' something and 'believing from' something?
Dr. Grillo says God corrected him on this directly: when you say you're 'believing for' a miracle, you keep placing it out in front of you, so every morning it's still before you and still not yours. Kingdom language, he argues, is 'believing from' it — because in perpetuity it already belongs to you. God already set it up; you just needed to reach the right season to receive it.
How does Dr. Grillo distinguish between 'attending' church and 'hosting' the kingdom?
Dr. Grillo draws a sharp line between the two: attending means you came to get something, while hosting means the kingdom lives inside you and you carry it with you. He argues that most Christians are trained to attend a service but never taught how to host the kingdom — and that Satan's goal isn't to attend your meeting but to get you to host him instead.
