Before you read this study understand that we do not teach, we share and then ask all who read the following take it to God and verify it with Him. We believe a lot of the world is misled by the church of the world and religion vs the one true church. And to know the truth can only come from knowing, not just knowing of God, John 14:26, I John 2:27, Rev 3:19-22.
Many are called but few are chosen because many are misled by false teachers Matthew 7:13-15 so we help all who wants to know the truth how to find and know the truth of and by God and not of and by man.



Patience

Pastor J. R. Wilhite, author   Close Window

Patience is the most important fruit of the Spirit, because it girds all the others.

James 1

2. My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;

3. Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

4. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

5.If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

Patience is needed to grow, to have faith, to prosper, to be healed, to be saved.

To have Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self control you must have patience girding them all. What this means is each and every area of the Spirit comes by patience, no one gains them all over night, it takes time. And when anything takes time you need patience to wait for it.

Ephesians 6

  1. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

What do you stand therefore? Of course what ever it is you need, you stand therefore, what you are standing THERE FORE. To stand and wait you need patience to stand as long as it might take.

Patience in the Greek actually is endurance.

Strong's Ref. # 5281

Romanized hupomone

Pronounced hoop-om-on-ay'

from GSN5278; cheerful (or hopeful) endurance, constancy:

KJV--enduring, patience, patient continuance (waiting).

Endurance is what you need to win a race or to reach a goal in life.

Now I want each of you to research for yourself the word patience in the new testament and consider what patience you have and how much more you need.

To help you with this read Job. Job was considered to have patience most of us can never understand.

Here are a few to get you started...

Luke 21:19 In your patience possess ye your souls.

Rom 5:3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
Rom 5:4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

Rom 8:25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

Rom 15:4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.

2 Cor 6:4 But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,

2 Cor 12:12 Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty

Col 1:11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;

1 Th 1:3 Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;

1 Th 1:4 Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.
