feed.
We post at the start of each

7
00:00:28,600 –> 00:00:31,500
week for you to listen.
With a short intro beforehand to

8
00:00:31,500 –> 00:00:33,400
kind of set the stage for the
talk, you’re about to hear.

9
00:00:33,800 –> 00:00:35,800
And now let’s hear more about
this week’s talk.

10
00:00:43,800 –> 00:00:46,500
For this weekend we’re listening
to an excitation that was given

11
00:00:46,500 –> 00:00:49,200
by Brother Fred Bearden from the
Austin, Leander, Ecclesia and

12
00:00:49,200 –> 00:00:51,700
Texas.
This excitation was given 20

13
00:00:51,700 –> 00:00:55,700
years ago in 2000 and it kind of
boggles my brain to be able to

14
00:00:55,700 –> 00:00:58,800
say that that the year 2000 was
20 years ago.

15
00:00:58,800 –> 00:01:01,600
But there we are.
So it was given in 2000 and he’s

16
00:01:01,600 –> 00:01:04,500
exhorting us on the topic of
patience brother.

17
00:01:04,500 –> 00:01:06,400
Fred does a real good job at
this.

18
00:01:06,400 –> 00:01:08,800
Excitation says good reminder a
solid expectation on us.

19
00:01:08,800 –> 00:01:11,500
And reminding us about the world
that we live in.

20
00:01:11,500 –> 00:01:14,600
Now has one of very much of
Instant gratification at

21
00:01:14,600 –> 00:01:17,000
something.
Where if somebody sends you an

22
00:01:17,000 –> 00:01:20,500
email, the expectation is if you
haven’t responded within a day,

23
00:01:21,200 –> 00:01:24,100
something’s going wrong or text
messages or supposed to be

24
00:01:24,100 –> 00:01:26,000
something that gets responded to
right away.

25
00:01:26,000 –> 00:01:28,500
It’s a period of where
everything is supposed to be.

26
00:01:28,500 –> 00:01:32,800
Now now, now and you can’t wait
and be patient for it and it can

27
00:01:32,800 –> 00:01:35,100
also be something that is
difficult for us to be patient

28
00:01:35,100 –> 00:01:39,100
on to wait for God to work out
things in his own time.

29
00:01:39,200 –> 00:01:43,400
So with Fred’s exportation, it
was a good reminder one of those

30
00:01:43,600 –> 00:01:46,100
Topics.
That is a Perpetual struggle for

31
00:01:46,100 –> 00:01:48,300
all of us.
I feel like everybody is more

32
00:01:48,300 –> 00:01:50,500
likely to be impatient than
patient when it comes to

33
00:01:50,500 –> 00:01:53,400
something.
I know Kristen, I were have been

34
00:01:53,400 –> 00:01:56,600
watching some older movies with
the boys, and one of the things

35
00:01:56,600 –> 00:02:00,600
that we’ve had to explain to
them is why the credits come

36
00:02:00,600 –> 00:02:05,100
first in older movies?
And we, even notice movies that

37
00:02:05,100 –> 00:02:07,700
are only 5 or 10 years old.
Some of them have the credits

38
00:02:07,700 –> 00:02:10,199
first.
Both of us noticed as we were

39
00:02:10,199 –> 00:02:13,300
watching the movie that the boys
interest was starting to wane.

40
00:02:13,800 –> 00:02:15,800
Just because they weren’t super
exciting.

41
00:02:15,800 –> 00:02:18,100
The movie wasn’t jumping right
into what they were trying to

42
00:02:18,100 –> 00:02:20,600
watch right at the beginning.
So, you know, we explain to them

43
00:02:20,600 –> 00:02:23,400
about the differences and that,
it was a good lesson in

44
00:02:23,400 –> 00:02:26,600
patience, with a little bit of a
good reminder of how sometimes

45
00:02:26,600 –> 00:02:30,200
you won’t even notice how
impatient you can become until

46
00:02:30,200 –> 00:02:32,000
you have an example like that,
that kind of hits you in the

47
00:02:32,000 –> 00:02:33,700
face.
And you realize, oh wait, I need

48
00:02:33,700 –> 00:02:37,800
to be more patient, wanted to
share this excitation, I know

49
00:02:37,800 –> 00:02:40,100
Fred, and I always love hearing
him talk so.

50
00:02:40,100 –> 00:02:42,400
So I could excitation to share
with everyone and a good

51
00:02:42,400 –> 00:02:45,500
reminder to be Patient.
As always, thank you for all the

52
00:02:45,500 –> 00:02:47,900
suggestions in the comments.
And the encouragement that

53
00:02:47,900 –> 00:02:49,700
everybody’s been sending in.
We’ve gotten lots of

54
00:02:49,700 –> 00:02:52,300
recommendations from people,
which we really appreciate and

55
00:02:52,300 –> 00:02:54,400
listening to those.
And there’s some awesome ones

56
00:02:54,400 –> 00:02:56,400
out there.
We’ve been trying to make sure

57
00:02:56,400 –> 00:02:59,000
that we have a mix of speakers
from all around the world.

58
00:02:59,000 –> 00:03:02,500
So that everybody has something
from their neck of the woods

59
00:03:02,500 –> 00:03:06,700
that they can listen to.
So if you know of expectations

60
00:03:06,700 –> 00:03:08,700
or series or classes, I know
there are a lot of virtual

61
00:03:08,700 –> 00:03:09,800
things that are going on right
now.

62
00:03:09,800 –> 00:03:13,400
We’ve had a couple of from the
international cyc that have.

63
00:03:13,700 –> 00:03:16,400
Really excellent.
So if you are participating in

64
00:03:16,400 –> 00:03:18,100
one of those and you hear a
class that you think is super

65
00:03:18,100 –> 00:03:21,700
good, please, you know, send it,
send it our way, we love to give

66
00:03:21,700 –> 00:03:24,200
it a listen, and put it up on
the podcast, if you know of

67
00:03:24,200 –> 00:03:26,500
anyone who is struggling.
Especially right now with all

68
00:03:26,500 –> 00:03:29,600
the isolation, please show the
podcast with them, a little bit

69
00:03:29,600 –> 00:03:32,100
of Bible in their daily news.
Feed can’t be anything but good

70
00:03:32,100 –> 00:03:35,100
to help everybody through this.
So with that we will turn it

71
00:03:35,100 –> 00:03:38,400
over to our brother Fred Bearden
for his expectation on patients.

72
00:03:38,600 –> 00:03:40,700
Good morning, beloved Brethren
and sisters.

73
00:03:41,600 –> 00:03:44,000
We’re hoping this morning that
you’ll have a great deal of

74
00:03:44,000 –> 00:03:48,000
patience with me because that’s
need what our expectation is on

75
00:03:48,100 –> 00:03:52,100
patients.
And being that I’ve shown very

76
00:03:52,100 –> 00:03:55,200
little of that lately and of the
things I’ve been doing for work,

77
00:03:55,200 –> 00:03:59,900
I think the exhortation is
appropriate for myself and

78
00:03:59,900 –> 00:04:02,800
perhaps can help me to learn The
Godly.

79
00:04:02,800 –> 00:04:05,300
Patience is needed for eternal
life.

80
00:04:06,400 –> 00:04:11,900
If we could, let’s all turn to
go to Romans 15 verses 4 through

81
00:04:11,900 –> 00:04:14,600
5.
We read about this

82
00:04:14,600 –> 00:04:20,100
characteristic of God, and we
see and understand that we must

83
00:04:20,100 –> 00:04:24,400
have this in order to survive.
Not only this world to stress,

84
00:04:24,400 –> 00:04:28,700
that is around us at this time.
But in order to more

85
00:04:28,700 –> 00:04:32,900
appropriately, serve God, and
glorify him now, and in the age

86
00:04:32,900 –> 00:04:37,400
to come, We do this, we learn
patience, so that we can follow

87
00:04:37,400 –> 00:04:40,800
the example of our Lord and
savior, because that indeed is

88
00:04:40,800 –> 00:04:44,100
what his life was about patient
continuance.

89
00:04:44,100 –> 00:04:48,800
In the things of God, the lack
of patience on a physical level

90
00:04:49,000 –> 00:04:52,700
can kill us.
It can lead to stress, heart

91
00:04:52,700 –> 00:04:54,800
disease.
Many other things that can

92
00:04:54,800 –> 00:04:58,900
physically take us down in this
finite life that we live in, but

93
00:04:58,900 –> 00:05:03,000
without the Godly patients that
will talk about this morning, we

94
00:05:03,000 –> 00:05:06,800
cannot continue on In that
infinite life that God is

95
00:05:06,800 –> 00:05:10,700
offering us as a gift.
The life that eternal life in

96
00:05:10,700 –> 00:05:15,300
his kingdom.
So let us look at Romans. 15

97
00:05:16,300 –> 00:05:19,800
starting at verse 4 says for
whatsoever Things are Written

98
00:05:19,800 –> 00:05:23,200
aforetime were written for our
learning that we through

99
00:05:23,200 –> 00:05:25,600
patience and comfort of the
scriptures.

100
00:05:26,100 –> 00:05:31,500
We might have hope now the god
of patience and consolation

101
00:05:31,500 –> 00:05:34,900
Grant you to be like-minded.
One toward another According to

102
00:05:34,907 –> 00:05:38,200
Christ, Jesus.
And we continue radius is that

103
00:05:38,200 –> 00:05:40,200
you may with one mind and one
mouth.

104
00:05:40,200 –> 00:05:45,400
Glorify God, even the father of
our Lord, Jesus Christ, a couple

105
00:05:45,400 –> 00:05:47,800
of things from these verses that
we’ve already mentioned is one.

106
00:05:47,800 –> 00:05:51,600
We must begin the process in our
life of studying the word of

107
00:05:51,600 –> 00:05:56,500
God, understanding what he
desires from us and attempt to

108
00:05:56,508 –> 00:05:59,100
develop the patients that he
shows to us.

109
00:05:59,100 –> 00:06:03,700
So, readily throwing, compare,
what the world thinks of, and

110
00:06:03,700 –> 00:06:06,600
what God requires of us, they
are two different things.

111
00:06:06,700 –> 00:06:11,400
World is infant is finite.
He’s me and the world at this

112
00:06:11,400 –> 00:06:15,000
point in time has got to the
point of not.

113
00:06:15,100 –> 00:06:19,000
Requiring patience is a matter
of fact, it’s done away with it.

114
00:06:19,100 –> 00:06:22,400
We have an instant world.
We have cell phones, we have

115
00:06:22,400 –> 00:06:25,500
pagers, we have ways of
communicating, with one another,

116
00:06:25,500 –> 00:06:29,000
on our computers instantly, all
of which are good tools.

117
00:06:29,100 –> 00:06:32,100
We use them and can use them
very effectively to spread the

118
00:06:32,100 –> 00:06:34,700
word of God and to encourage one
another.

119
00:06:35,200 –> 00:06:38,600
But we have to be careful.
Love is not take that way of

120
00:06:38,600 –> 00:06:40,900
thinking and things must be
instantaneous.

121
00:06:40,900 –> 00:06:44,300
That things must happen
immediately in the things of God

122
00:06:44,400 –> 00:06:47,500
and become discouraged because
our Lord and savior hasn’t

123
00:06:47,500 –> 00:06:49,600
returned.
Even though we require him in

124
00:06:49,600 –> 00:06:52,900
our own minds to be here.
Now we certainly are asked to

125
00:06:52,907 –> 00:06:56,700
pray continually and to expect
for Christ’s return at any

126
00:06:56,700 –> 00:07:00,600
moment but we cannot become
discouraged or let the thinking

127
00:07:00,600 –> 00:07:02,800
of the world influence us in
that manner.

128
00:07:03,300 –> 00:07:06,600
So that we are no longer showing
the patients that God shows

129
00:07:06,700 –> 00:07:10,400
Toward us toward one another.
We would have this patients and

130
00:07:10,400 –> 00:07:12,200
toward the things of God, we are
to have it.

131
00:07:13,800 –> 00:07:17,100
For when you look at the world
the hospital’s therapist office

132
00:07:17,100 –> 00:07:20,800
and Clinics are full to the brim
of cases of stress, and

133
00:07:20,800 –> 00:07:24,500
emotional breakdown, which in
many cases are direct result of

134
00:07:24,500 –> 00:07:27,800
people not being able to deal
with a fast-paced world in which

135
00:07:27,800 –> 00:07:30,600
we live.
These people have become

136
00:07:30,600 –> 00:07:33,600
impatient require that things
happen.

137
00:07:33,600 –> 00:07:36,500
As soon as possible, or as we’ve
heard many times happen

138
00:07:36,500 –> 00:07:40,000
yesterday.
Because of this impatience, they

139
00:07:40,000 –> 00:07:43,100
cannot cope with life.
This is because they cannot keep

140
00:07:43,100 –> 00:07:46,700
up with life.
Our world is a world of instant

141
00:07:46,700 –> 00:07:50,800
gratification and God is
directed us to not think in this

142
00:07:50,800 –> 00:07:57,100
manner, he has told us in fact,
that we are to be patient with

143
00:07:57,100 –> 00:08:00,100
one another and with him as he
is with us.

144
00:08:01,500 –> 00:08:03,300
But we are not to be conditioned
to need things.

145
00:08:03,300 –> 00:08:08,100
Immediately, we are to realize
that we do not have to have

146
00:08:08,100 –> 00:08:11,900
those things right now.
Are achieved immediate success.

147
00:08:12,300 –> 00:08:15,500
Because when we think about it,
God’s eternal life.

148
00:08:15,500 –> 00:08:18,400
He’s offering to us at the
Judgment seat.

149
00:08:18,400 –> 00:08:20,200
We’re not going to stop serving
him.

150
00:08:20,200 –> 00:08:23,300
We’re not going to be patient to
that point, and then say, okay

151
00:08:23,300 –> 00:08:25,300
I’ve made it.
Now I can do what I want to do

152
00:08:25,900 –> 00:08:29,400
from that point on, we have to
continue on having patients in

153
00:08:29,400 –> 00:08:32,500
pleasure, in what we’re doing.
In the continuance is serving

154
00:08:32,500 –> 00:08:36,299
God.
For indeed, in this Society, we

155
00:08:36,299 –> 00:08:40,799
are well, informed about not
waiting on things about Stress

156
00:08:40,799 –> 00:08:44,500
and Anxiety.
The media hounds us about Stress

157
00:08:44,500 –> 00:08:47,600
and Anxiety and says that we
should be concerned about this

158
00:08:47,600 –> 00:08:50,400
constantly, we should be able to
cure it immediately, find an

159
00:08:50,400 –> 00:08:54,200
instantaneous pill or some sort
of new diet plan or some sort of

160
00:08:54,200 –> 00:08:56,200
new activity.
In our life, it will immediately

161
00:08:56,200 –> 00:09:01,700
change us for the better and yet
we’re so busy worrying about

162
00:09:01,700 –> 00:09:04,200
stress and suffering from this
dress.

163
00:09:04,500 –> 00:09:07,400
We’re almost suffering from
worrying about the stress.

164
00:09:08,600 –> 00:09:11,300
Another more obvious example, is
the lack of patience that the

165
00:09:11,300 –> 00:09:16,400
world presents to us is that we
have anger, or we have great

166
00:09:16,400 –> 00:09:20,300
anger in our stress.
And this anger can induce

167
00:09:20,500 –> 00:09:24,600
destroying effects in all of us.
If we are, quick-tempered quick

168
00:09:24,600 –> 00:09:27,400
to let things bother us, then
we’re always getting mad and

169
00:09:27,400 –> 00:09:29,600
irritated about things
especially about the things that

170
00:09:29,600 –> 00:09:31,100
we can do.
Absolutely nothing.

171
00:09:31,900 –> 00:09:34,200
We are constantly under stress,
and anxiety, and we’re

172
00:09:34,200 –> 00:09:38,700
constantly frustrated now in
God’s way of thinking, There’s

173
00:09:38,700 –> 00:09:40,400
something we can do at all
times.

174
00:09:40,700 –> 00:09:43,100
We can pray, we can pray for
ourselves.

175
00:09:43,200 –> 00:09:46,200
And for one another we can be
comforted in knowing that God

176
00:09:46,200 –> 00:09:49,900
hears us, the answer to those
prayers is not always known to

177
00:09:49,900 –> 00:09:54,400
us but we at least have that
release knowing that there is a

178
00:09:54,408 –> 00:09:58,200
God and that he can help us and
all that we do, he can help us

179
00:09:58,200 –> 00:10:00,000
understand the turmoil that were
going through.

180
00:10:00,000 –> 00:10:02,700
He can help us understand the
trials and temptations.

181
00:10:03,100 –> 00:10:06,000
The world cannot offer this.
All of the world tries and tries

182
00:10:06,000 –> 00:10:08,200
to present to us many different
ways.

183
00:10:08,300 –> 00:10:11,800
Ways of dealing with the stress
that is around us, the only true

184
00:10:11,800 –> 00:10:15,600
way to deal with it is to serve
God and to put our lives into

185
00:10:15,600 –> 00:10:18,900
his hands for recent medical
report.

186
00:10:19,200 –> 00:10:24,100
Totally explains that anger
stress and impatience as we’ve

187
00:10:24,100 –> 00:10:28,100
said today, can eventually cause
problems to us physically that

188
00:10:28,100 –> 00:10:31,000
can lead to death, but that’s
death.

189
00:10:31,000 –> 00:10:34,300
Just in this finite world that
we live in what about permanent

190
00:10:34,300 –> 00:10:36,200
death.
When we consider the ways of

191
00:10:36,208 –> 00:10:40,400
God, if we’re not developing,
Patients that he shows toward us

192
00:10:41,200 –> 00:10:43,200
then that’s what can be brought
in to us.

193
00:10:44,400 –> 00:10:47,800
This is a matter of the world
doesn’t consider very often the

194
00:10:47,800 –> 00:10:52,200
word of God teaches us that in
order to survive, we must have

195
00:10:52,200 –> 00:10:54,900
patience, but a different type
of patients.

196
00:10:55,200 –> 00:11:00,600
We must be Desiring to serve God
constantly and wanting to do

197
00:11:00,600 –> 00:11:02,100
that.
Realizing that, at this point in

198
00:11:02,100 –> 00:11:05,000
our lives, were not going to be
able to perfectly as our Lord

199
00:11:05,000 –> 00:11:08,600
and savior did.
But be willing to continue to

200
00:11:08,600 –> 00:11:13,600
try without patience in the way
that God requires a person as we

201
00:11:13,600 –> 00:11:17,200
said forfeits life eternal and
at the Judgment seat would be

202
00:11:17,200 –> 00:11:21,100
lost permanently.
But we know this about God that

203
00:11:21,100 –> 00:11:24,400
he is long-suffering and we find
great comfort in his

204
00:11:24,400 –> 00:11:26,800
long-suffering.
Because because of this, we read

205
00:11:26,800 –> 00:11:32,800
in Romans 15, that we have hope
for God allowed his son to die

206
00:11:32,800 –> 00:11:34,300
on the cross, that we might
gain.

207
00:11:34,300 –> 00:11:38,400
Forgiveness of our sins.
And Still he patiently works

208
00:11:38,400 –> 00:11:42,600
with us as we attempt to follow
the example of Christ.

209
00:11:43,300 –> 00:11:46,300
Let’s turn back to Ecclesiastes
chapter 7.

210
00:11:47,200 –> 00:11:51,000
We see a description of the
character of God that we so much

211
00:11:51,100 –> 00:11:55,200
need to be liked and that his
son was a perfect example of

212
00:11:57,200 –> 00:12:01,400
Back in Ecclesiastes, we see a
verse that describes the trait

213
00:12:01,600 –> 00:12:04,400
that is relative to the success
of our final goal.

214
00:12:06,200 –> 00:12:09,100
In fact, it talks about the
final goal being better than the

215
00:12:09,100 –> 00:12:12,900
beginning.
Ecclesiastes, 7 verses 8 and 9

216
00:12:14,400 –> 00:12:17,800
better is the end of a thing.
Then the beginning thereof and

217
00:12:17,800 –> 00:12:22,300
the patient in spirit is better
than the proud and spirit be not

218
00:12:22,300 –> 00:12:26,000
Hasty in thy Spirit to be angry
for anger, rested in the bosom

219
00:12:26,000 –> 00:12:30,100
of fools.
Very short verses very concise.

220
00:12:30,800 –> 00:12:33,100
But this first statement is
extremely clear.

221
00:12:33,500 –> 00:12:35,700
The end of a goal is better than
the beginning.

222
00:12:36,200 –> 00:12:38,600
And certainly in this
probationary period that we’re

223
00:12:38,600 –> 00:12:44,300
all living through the end that
we desire is the kingdom age.

224
00:12:44,400 –> 00:12:47,700
And yet it’s not the end of our
patients are the end of our

225
00:12:47,700 –> 00:12:50,500
service of the God.
It is a continuous.

226
00:12:50,600 –> 00:12:53,800
It’s the perfecting of that
feeding us to a level that we

227
00:12:53,800 –> 00:12:57,600
cannot achieve this time.
Truly the end of our walk in the

228
00:12:57,608 –> 00:13:00,800
truth at this point in time
should be the kingdom and the

229
00:13:00,800 –> 00:13:04,100
end will be much better than the
very beginning of our walk are

230
00:13:04,100 –> 00:13:05,700
even what we were going through
right now.

231
00:13:06,300 –> 00:13:10,000
That is our hope of course we
must continue to improve while

232
00:13:10,000 –> 00:13:14,500
striving for this in there will
be failures along the way but we

233
00:13:14,600 –> 00:13:17,600
have the hope of eventual
success because of the gift that

234
00:13:17,600 –> 00:13:20,700
God has offered us.
Of course, the other statement

235
00:13:20,700 –> 00:13:24,600
here in this verse is that we
are comparing two different

236
00:13:24,600 –> 00:13:28,300
personality types, the patient
and spirit And the problem

237
00:13:28,300 –> 00:13:32,700
spirit Spirit is the word ruach.
Meaning wind are wife.

238
00:13:33,100 –> 00:13:36,200
Ruach is the Breath of Life are
that gift that God has given us

239
00:13:36,200 –> 00:13:40,500
at this point in time the
ability to live and the

240
00:13:40,500 –> 00:13:45,300
opportunity to serve him.
God gives us this and it is what

241
00:13:45,300 –> 00:13:47,700
sustains every living thing on
this planet.

242
00:13:48,300 –> 00:13:51,900
The word patient is from the
word Erik a rek meaning,

243
00:13:52,100 –> 00:13:54,500
long-suffering patient are slow
to anger.

244
00:13:55,400 –> 00:13:57,900
As we look at this subject this
morning we see These traits are

245
00:13:57,900 –> 00:14:02,300
necessary in serving God because
we have to exhibit those traits

246
00:14:02,800 –> 00:14:06,600
to one another Christ, certainly
had them and his father’s

247
00:14:06,600 –> 00:14:09,900
character and he was reflected,
his father’s character better

248
00:14:09,900 –> 00:14:13,000
than anyone else.
Ever has to be patient in spirit

249
00:14:13,000 –> 00:14:16,700
is to show anxious to show the
proper reverence to the gift

250
00:14:16,700 –> 00:14:20,700
that God has already given us.
That is the breath of life and

251
00:14:20,700 –> 00:14:24,100
to the gift that he is extending
into us if we’ll serve him, that

252
00:14:24,100 –> 00:14:28,100
is life eternal.
On the other side to be proud

253
00:14:28,100 –> 00:14:32,700
and spirit to be lofty.
High-minded the word Gaba is to

254
00:14:32,700 –> 00:14:35,600
not show reverence to the gift
of life.

255
00:14:35,900 –> 00:14:39,300
It is to throw it to the side,
to hold it in disdain and

256
00:14:39,300 –> 00:14:43,200
contempt and To Tread upon the
things that are so precious and

257
00:14:43,200 –> 00:14:47,100
to God the things that he wants
so dearly to share with us.

258
00:14:50,000 –> 00:14:52,600
So we know that God is slow to
anger and this is indeed our

259
00:14:52,600 –> 00:14:55,500
hope.
Let us look over at Psalms 103

260
00:14:55,600 –> 00:14:57,000
verse 8.
Tells us.

261
00:14:58,700 –> 00:15:03,400
Very clearly that God is indeed
slow to anger and plenteous in

262
00:15:03,400 –> 00:15:10,200
Mercy.
It says.

263
00:15:14,400 –> 00:15:18,100
The Lord is merciful or is it
revised version says, the Lord

264
00:15:18,100 –> 00:15:21,800
is full of compassion and
gracious, slow to anger.

265
00:15:22,000 –> 00:15:26,000
And plenteous in Mercy.
Verse 9 goes on to tell us.

266
00:15:26,500 –> 00:15:29,200
He will not always chide
neither, will he keep his anger

267
00:15:29,200 –> 00:15:33,300
forever.
He hath not dealt with us after

268
00:15:33,300 –> 00:15:36,800
our sins, nor rewarded us
according to our iniquities.

269
00:15:37,700 –> 00:15:41,900
So both we have here
encouragement, that God is slow

270
00:15:41,900 –> 00:15:45,100
to anger.
It gives us the opportunity to

271
00:15:45,100 –> 00:15:49,200
repent of our sins and to study
his word, more diligently and to

272
00:15:49,200 –> 00:15:50,900
lead our lives in a better
fashion.

273
00:15:51,700 –> 00:15:55,800
And yet there’s an end to God’s
long-suffering that is the

274
00:15:55,800 –> 00:15:59,600
Judgment seat.
And he has not dealt with us,

275
00:15:59,600 –> 00:16:03,600
according to our sins, we don’t
deserve God’s mercy, we don’t

276
00:16:03,600 –> 00:16:06,700
deserve his kindness even at
this point in time.

277
00:16:06,700 –> 00:16:09,800
We certainly don’t deserve life
eternal but he is willing to

278
00:16:09,800 –> 00:16:13,800
extend it to us which is a great
hope and pleasure and what he

279
00:16:13,800 –> 00:16:17,800
wants from us is to take
pleasure in this and to have

280
00:16:17,800 –> 00:16:23,200
patients waiting for it to come
he is patient with us while we

281
00:16:23,200 –> 00:16:26,300
are striving to learn his
character and reflected into the

282
00:16:26,300 –> 00:16:29,100
world around us because that is
as important to him as anything

283
00:16:29,100 –> 00:16:33,400
is that this be spread
throughout the entire world in

284
00:16:33,400 –> 00:16:37,400
Psalms 145, we see more evidence
of this of this, loving

285
00:16:37,400 –> 00:16:48,100
character, of God, Psalms 145
Verse 8, the Lord is gracious

286
00:16:48,100 –> 00:16:52,500
and full of compassion, slow to
anger and of great Mercy.

287
00:16:52,700 –> 00:16:55,600
The Lord is good to all his
Tender Mercies are over.

288
00:16:55,600 –> 00:17:00,200
All of his works and all thy
Works shall praise thee, O Lord.

289
00:17:00,900 –> 00:17:05,099
Thy Saints shall bless thee.
As we talked about the gift that

290
00:17:05,099 –> 00:17:07,599
God has extended into us.
As you can see, he’s extended

291
00:17:07,599 –> 00:17:12,300
into the entire world.
He’s given us life, the breath

292
00:17:12,300 –> 00:17:14,400
of life and he allows this
existence.

293
00:17:14,800 –> 00:17:18,400
Even tolerate some of the things
that are going on at this day

294
00:17:18,400 –> 00:17:22,200
and age so that we might be able
to have the opportunity to learn

295
00:17:22,200 –> 00:17:26,300
and grow and his his ways and to
spread that throughout the rest

296
00:17:26,300 –> 00:17:28,900
of the world.
And eventually to be part of the

297
00:17:28,900 –> 00:17:34,900
Kingdom age, we also know that
God is jealous as we’ve

298
00:17:34,900 –> 00:17:39,300
mentioned, God is merciful and
kind patient as we need to be,

299
00:17:40,000 –> 00:17:42,900
but there’s an end to that.
There is a limit to what God

300
00:17:42,900 –> 00:17:45,400
will tolerate.
He will not tolerate the wicked,

301
00:17:46,200 –> 00:17:49,700
let us turn to Nahum chapter
one, very short book in the

302
00:17:49,700 –> 00:17:57,100
Bible.
And we see those very words that

303
00:17:57,100 –> 00:18:00,500
we have mentioned that God is
indeed jealous unwilling to

304
00:18:00,500 –> 00:18:03,600
tolerate the wicked.
I’m going to tolerate them

305
00:18:03,600 –> 00:18:07,900
forever.
Nahum chapter 1.

306
00:18:12,400 –> 00:18:16,500
I’ll find him versus well the
verses 23 here.

307
00:18:16,500 –> 00:18:20,300
All you people Park and Earth
and all that is therein is and

308
00:18:20,300 –> 00:18:22,800
let the Lord God be witness
against you.

309
00:18:24,900 –> 00:18:27,700
I’m sorry.
And one versus two, and three.

310
00:18:27,700 –> 00:18:39,900
Okay, I’m in the wrong chapter.
Damn chapter 1 versus 2.

311
00:18:41,100 –> 00:18:45,400
God is jealous and the God and
the Lord Revenge it the Lord

312
00:18:45,400 –> 00:18:47,800
revenge’s.
And is furious Lord will take

313
00:18:47,800 –> 00:18:51,200
Vengeance on his adversaries and
he reserved with wrath for his

314
00:18:51,200 –> 00:18:54,300
enemies.
Yet, we see this anger of the

315
00:18:54,308 –> 00:18:57,100
Lord that can be there, and it
is Extreme deterrent for those

316
00:18:57,100 –> 00:19:01,100
who would want to turn their
back on God, those who would be

317
00:19:01,100 –> 00:19:04,600
Wicked and yet it says the Lord
is slow to anger and great in

318
00:19:04,600 –> 00:19:07,000
power and will not at all
acquit.

319
00:19:07,300 –> 00:19:12,300
The Wicked, the Lord hath hath
his way in the world win and in

320
00:19:12,300 –> 00:19:16,100
the storm, the clouds of dust
the and are the dust of his

321
00:19:16,100 –> 00:19:18,200
feet.
He rebuked of the sea and make a

322
00:19:18,208 –> 00:19:21,500
bit dry and dry up.
All the rivers and goes on to

323
00:19:21,500 –> 00:19:24,500
talk about in verse 5.
The Mountains Quake at him and

324
00:19:24,500 –> 00:19:27,300
the hills melt in the earth is
burned at his presence.

325
00:19:27,500 –> 00:19:31,700
Yeah the word and all that dwell
therein with all this extreme

326
00:19:31,700 –> 00:19:36,400
power, all this immense power
that God possesses and the

327
00:19:36,400 –> 00:19:38,000
righteousness is that he
possesses.

328
00:19:38,400 –> 00:19:42,900
He yet wants to show patience
and to us his creation to allow

329
00:19:42,900 –> 00:19:46,600
us the opportunity to glorify
him and to give unto him

330
00:19:46,600 –> 00:19:49,700
something to give our praise and
our love unto him.

331
00:19:51,200 –> 00:19:56,100
God has patience continually for
the righteous, but as we see

332
00:19:56,100 –> 00:20:00,000
here, not for the wicked, maybe
for a time during this.

333
00:20:00,000 –> 00:20:03,200
As we said during this infinite
period that man, is in the Earth

334
00:20:03,200 –> 00:20:07,500
and in ruling the Earth.
God will tolerate, but will not

335
00:20:07,600 –> 00:20:12,700
completely allow it in the end
in the days to come and Proverbs

336
00:20:12,700 –> 00:20:17,700
back in Proverbs Chapter 14, we
see that a man that is slow to

337
00:20:17,700 –> 00:20:23,200
wrath and anger is considered an
That man a man of wisdom who has

338
00:20:23,200 –> 00:20:27,400
a level head in all situations.
This person prospers in the ways

339
00:20:27,400 –> 00:20:31,500
of God because of his
intelligent patients toward

340
00:20:31,500 –> 00:20:49,800
these things.
Proverbs 14. 14 verse 29 says he

341
00:20:49,800 –> 00:20:52,500
that is slow to wrath is of
great understanding, but he that

342
00:20:52,500 –> 00:21:01,300
is Hasty a spirit exalteth folly
This photograph is to show

343
00:21:01,300 –> 00:21:04,300
wisdom and great, knowledge and
great love.

344
00:21:04,300 –> 00:21:09,600
For the things of God, to be
Hasty to buy into the, the world

345
00:21:09,600 –> 00:21:12,300
in the way, they think about our
life, and how we should achieve

346
00:21:12,300 –> 00:21:14,700
things immediately and we should
achieve more than the.

347
00:21:14,700 –> 00:21:19,000
Next person is to run away from
the things of God.

348
00:21:19,600 –> 00:21:22,300
Haste, your inpatient
action-adventure Ali if not

349
00:21:22,300 –> 00:21:24,500
immediately will cause bad
results.

350
00:21:25,200 –> 00:21:28,400
How many of us have shown this
kind of impatience at least at

351
00:21:28,400 –> 00:21:31,300
work In our activities outside
the Ecclesia.

352
00:21:31,700 –> 00:21:35,300
But we let that sometimes fall
back into the Ecclesia.

353
00:21:35,300 –> 00:21:38,200
And we expect our brothers and
sisters to immediately change,

354
00:21:38,200 –> 00:21:41,000
and bend to our will, and the
way we think they should act.

355
00:21:41,000 –> 00:21:44,000
And conduct themselves.
Often not looking in ourselves

356
00:21:44,000 –> 00:21:48,900
in our misbehavior, for God is
teaching us that we must be a

357
00:21:48,900 –> 00:21:53,000
community of people that
meditate contemplate, consider

358
00:21:53,000 –> 00:21:57,500
one, another pray, unto him at
all times and had the patience

359
00:21:57,500 –> 00:22:01,800
that he’s shown in to us.
Sometimes we get upset at the

360
00:22:01,800 –> 00:22:05,500
most minor things are schedule.
Our routine may be mixed up or,

361
00:22:05,500 –> 00:22:07,500
or interrupted by the things of
the Ecclesia.

362
00:22:07,900 –> 00:22:11,600
We just think we don’t have time
to look after one another

363
00:22:12,200 –> 00:22:15,100
because things are happening, so
fast in our world and we think

364
00:22:15,100 –> 00:22:16,600
we have to keep up with the
world.

365
00:22:16,600 –> 00:22:20,000
We start to put aside, the
things of God, do we lose our

366
00:22:20,000 –> 00:22:21,500
faith?
Because we think God is not

367
00:22:21,500 –> 00:22:23,100
working fast enough in our
lives.

368
00:22:23,400 –> 00:22:26,100
Perhaps he’s telling us to slow
down to contemplate.

369
00:22:26,100 –> 00:22:29,600
And to think about the things
ahead of us sometimes to change.

370
00:22:29,700 –> 00:22:33,500
And our attitude and to realize
that we may indeed be wrong

371
00:22:33,500 –> 00:22:36,300
sometimes when we think we are
absolutely right?

372
00:22:37,200 –> 00:22:42,400
It takes time and it takes
patience over in Proverbs 15.

373
00:22:45,000 –> 00:22:48,100
God lets us know that anger and
wrath especially toward things

374
00:22:48,100 –> 00:22:53,200
we cannot control will only
compound our problems Proverbs

375
00:22:53,200 –> 00:22:58,700
15 Verse 18, a raffle, man
stirreth up Strife but he, that

376
00:22:58,700 –> 00:23:03,900
is slow to anger of Pisa.
The Strife, indeed, very simply.

377
00:23:03,900 –> 00:23:07,700
Put those of us that approach
anger, quickly and remain angry

378
00:23:07,700 –> 00:23:10,000
all the time.
We’ll continue to frustrate

379
00:23:10,000 –> 00:23:14,700
ourselves frustrate those around
us and disappoint God in what we

380
00:23:14,700 –> 00:23:17,300
do.
God wants us to appease strife

381
00:23:17,300 –> 00:23:20,500
and did not Stir It Up.
He wants us to work together

382
00:23:20,500 –> 00:23:23,600
toward the common goal.
We need They remain in control

383
00:23:23,600 –> 00:23:27,500
so that we can intelligently
effectively and lovingly.

384
00:23:27,500 –> 00:23:37,600
Serve God, Proverbs 16 and 32
tells us he that is slow to

385
00:23:37,600 –> 00:23:40,600
anger is better than the mighty
he that ruleth his Spirit than

386
00:23:40,600 –> 00:23:44,000
he that taketh this city.
There is no weakness in

387
00:23:44,000 –> 00:23:46,400
patients.
No weakness and contemplation

388
00:23:46,400 –> 00:23:48,500
and meditation.
There is strength.

389
00:23:49,500 –> 00:23:53,200
Control is very important and a
very important key to To our

390
00:23:53,400 –> 00:23:57,500
love and service and to God.
Now we mentioned the word Erik a

391
00:23:57,500 –> 00:24:01,100
rek, meaning patients or slow to
anger.

392
00:24:01,600 –> 00:24:05,700
It is derived from the word,
Iraq, a Rak, which has several

393
00:24:05,700 –> 00:24:08,800
translations, but the words
mean, basically, the same thing

394
00:24:09,700 –> 00:24:14,800
in some of these translations,
it is the word meaning to be to

395
00:24:14,800 –> 00:24:20,000
Terry R22 to linger such as when
the cloud carried along upon the

396
00:24:20,000 –> 00:24:22,400
Tabernacle, many days, the
children of Israel.

397
00:24:22,600 –> 00:24:26,900
The charge of the Lord in
Journey, not Eric also means H

398
00:24:26,900 –> 00:24:30,500
translated as lengthen.
Our prolong, and I think that’s

399
00:24:30,500 –> 00:24:33,200
a very important point to us,
this morning, to realize that

400
00:24:33,200 –> 00:24:36,700
the patients that God wants us
to develop is that which is son

401
00:24:36,700 –> 00:24:39,700
developed.
And the phrase often used here

402
00:24:39,700 –> 00:24:43,600
is to prolong the days, through
patients, we can achieve a

403
00:24:43,600 –> 00:24:46,600
prolonging of our days, not
during this finite period of

404
00:24:46,600 –> 00:24:49,600
time for we not, we don’t know
when that will be taken away

405
00:24:49,600 –> 00:24:53,400
from us, but is to prolong our
days on a Permanent basis as

406
00:24:53,400 –> 00:24:58,000
Christ did in Isaiah 53.
We see it talking about Christ

407
00:24:58,400 –> 00:25:03,300
and how through his trial and
tribulation those days, God

408
00:25:03,300 –> 00:25:09,400
would prolong the days.
You know, Isaiah 53.

409
00:25:09,400 –> 00:25:15,100
Very well, describing Christ,
but we see that not only would

410
00:25:15,200 –> 00:25:18,800
this proper manner of our
development of this character.

411
00:25:18,800 –> 00:25:20,600
In Christ’s life, prolong his
days.

412
00:25:21,200 –> 00:25:25,200
It also points out that God
would be pleased about this and

413
00:25:25,400 –> 00:25:27,300
that the pleasure of God would
Prosper.

414
00:25:27,500 –> 00:25:33,100
Isaiah 53.
Verse 10 says, After describes

415
00:25:33,100 –> 00:25:36,100
the great torment, that Christ
would have to go through.

416
00:25:36,100 –> 00:25:38,900
It says, yet it pleased the Lord
to bruise him.

417
00:25:39,500 –> 00:25:43,200
He hath put him to grief when
thou shalt make his soul an

418
00:25:43,200 –> 00:25:45,600
offering for sin, he shall see
his seed.

419
00:25:46,500 –> 00:25:49,300
He shall prolong his days and
the pleasure of the Lord shall

420
00:25:49,300 –> 00:25:54,800
prosper in his hand, certainly
many of us could not imagine our

421
00:25:54,800 –> 00:25:58,500
children having to go through
the torment and trial that

422
00:25:58,500 –> 00:26:01,200
Christ did.
And yet it pleased, God that he

423
00:26:01,200 –> 00:26:06,400
was willing to Serve him in this
manner willing to give up his

424
00:26:06,400 –> 00:26:10,100
very life as we’re asked to give
up our lives for God.

425
00:26:10,700 –> 00:26:15,300
For when you think about
eternity and patients they

426
00:26:15,300 –> 00:26:19,300
really fit together quite well
because when you have eternity

427
00:26:19,300 –> 00:26:21,400
you could have all the patience
you need.

428
00:26:22,000 –> 00:26:25,700
It’s when we let this life is
finite life drag us down into

429
00:26:25,700 –> 00:26:27,700
believing that we have to
accomplish everything

430
00:26:27,700 –> 00:26:31,800
immediately that we start
turning our backs on God, not

431
00:26:31,900 –> 00:26:34,800
Letting him work in our lives,
effectively, and patiently.

432
00:26:37,500 –> 00:26:43,500
We also see an example here of
the in Ecclesiastes 8 verse 12.

433
00:26:44,100 –> 00:26:49,800
We see the days of the center
are also prolonged but that God

434
00:26:49,800 –> 00:26:53,100
will eventually take it away
from them Ecclesiastes, 8 and

435
00:26:53,100 –> 00:27:08,800
12.
When it says those sinner do

436
00:27:08,800 –> 00:27:11,700
evil hundred times and his days
be prolonged yet.

437
00:27:11,700 –> 00:27:14,400
Surely, I know that it shall be
well with them that fear, God,

438
00:27:14,400 –> 00:27:17,600
which fear before him, but it
shall not be well with the

439
00:27:17,608 –> 00:27:19,500
wicked.
Neither shall he prolong his

440
00:27:19,500 –> 00:27:23,200
days which are as a shadow?
Because he feareth not before

441
00:27:23,200 –> 00:27:25,800
God.
Very clearly here.

442
00:27:25,800 –> 00:27:30,900
We see that we can get caught up
believing that the days we have

443
00:27:30,900 –> 00:27:34,800
now are all there is and then we
see some that are wicked who

444
00:27:34,800 –> 00:27:38,700
lived for a very long time and
some who are righteous, who died

445
00:27:38,700 –> 00:27:42,200
early and yet.
What God is talking about is

446
00:27:42,200 –> 00:27:44,900
they will not the wicked and
those who turn their backs on

447
00:27:44,900 –> 00:27:47,100
him will not be able to prolong
their days.

448
00:27:47,100 –> 00:27:50,800
He will not extend the gift
under them for indeed he will

449
00:27:50,800 –> 00:27:53,000
not tolerate.
As we’ve seen already Wicked

450
00:27:53,000 –> 00:27:55,800
action.
He will eventually Lee, destroy

451
00:27:55,800 –> 00:28:02,200
it all.
So we see here that in order to

452
00:28:03,300 –> 00:28:08,200
appropriately be in good service
to our Heavenly Father we have

453
00:28:08,200 –> 00:28:11,400
to develop as much of the traits
as he is presented before us.

454
00:28:12,500 –> 00:28:15,900
And we see that in Matthew
chapter 18, a parable that

455
00:28:15,900 –> 00:28:19,000
Christ presents us, that shows
very clearly.

456
00:28:19,000 –> 00:28:21,100
The example of what we talked
about this morning.

457
00:28:21,800 –> 00:28:25,700
How when one is, Forgiven one is
shown kindness, and mercy, and

458
00:28:25,700 –> 00:28:28,600
patience.
But that person is expected to

459
00:28:28,600 –> 00:28:31,500
turn around and do the same and
their lives.

460
00:28:33,500 –> 00:28:37,600
I’m not doing this.
Will put us into turmoil and

461
00:28:37,600 –> 00:28:40,000
take away the gift of eternal
life.

462
00:28:42,300 –> 00:28:46,000
We look at the example.
In Matthew chapter 18, starting

463
00:28:46,000 –> 00:28:55,400
at verse 23 on.
It says, Therefore is the

464
00:28:55,400 –> 00:28:58,800
Kingdom of Heaven unto a certain
likened, unto a certain King

465
00:28:58,900 –> 00:29:01,000
which would take account of his
servants.

466
00:29:01,400 –> 00:29:04,300
And we had begun to reckon one
was brought unto him which owed

467
00:29:04,300 –> 00:29:08,600
him ten thousand talents before
as much as he did not, he had

468
00:29:08,600 –> 00:29:11,300
not to pay his Lord to pay his
Lord.

469
00:29:11,300 –> 00:29:13,800
Commanded him to be sold in his
wife and his children and all

470
00:29:13,800 –> 00:29:16,000
that.
He had and payment to be made

471
00:29:16,400 –> 00:29:20,200
the servant fell down and
worshipped him saying Lord, have

472
00:29:20,200 –> 00:29:24,300
patience with me and I will pay
the all and the Lord of that.

473
00:29:24,500 –> 00:29:26,800
Servant was moved with
compassion and loosed him and

474
00:29:26,800 –> 00:29:30,400
forgave him the debt.
But the same servant went out

475
00:29:30,400 –> 00:29:31,800
and found.
One of his fellow servants,

476
00:29:31,800 –> 00:29:34,800
which owed him a hundred Pence,
and he laid hands on him and

477
00:29:34,800 –> 00:29:37,000
took him by the throat saying,
pay me.

478
00:29:37,000 –> 00:29:40,000
That thou, Louis and his fellow
servant fell down at his feet

479
00:29:40,000 –> 00:29:42,500
and besought him saying, have
patience with me.

480
00:29:42,500 –> 00:29:47,000
And I will pay thee all but he
would not, but he went and cast

481
00:29:47,000 –> 00:29:49,300
him into prison till he should
pay the dead.

482
00:29:50,200 –> 00:29:53,800
So we see here, the contrast of
the master giving unto his

483
00:29:53,800 –> 00:29:56,200
servant.
The patience and compassion and

484
00:29:56,200 –> 00:30:00,000
forgiving him his death, he
didn’t have to he didn’t owe it

485
00:30:00,000 –> 00:30:03,100
to the servant but the servant
didn’t follow as we should

486
00:30:03,100 –> 00:30:07,400
follow the example and we see as
a parable continues on first 31.

487
00:30:07,400 –> 00:30:10,800
So when his fellow servants saw
what was done, they were very

488
00:30:10,800 –> 00:30:13,900
sorry and came and told their
lord all that was done.

489
00:30:14,300 –> 00:30:17,500
Then his Lord after he had
called him and said unto him.

490
00:30:17,900 –> 00:30:19,800
O thou Wicked servant.
I forgave thee.

491
00:30:19,800 –> 00:30:23,300
All that debt because thou
desirest me should, it’s not

492
00:30:23,300 –> 00:30:27,400
thou also, Have had compassion
on night fellow servant, even as

493
00:30:27,400 –> 00:30:31,500
I had pity on thee and of
course, this is exactly how we

494
00:30:31,500 –> 00:30:32,900
are supposed to be.
We’re supposed to have

495
00:30:32,900 –> 00:30:36,100
compassion on one another and
follow the example of our Lord

496
00:30:36,100 –> 00:30:38,500
and Savior.
Jesus Christ, who is reflecting

497
00:30:38,500 –> 00:30:41,600
his father’s character.
And what was the outcome of this

498
00:30:41,600 –> 00:30:43,800
Parable?
And the Lord was wrought and

499
00:30:43,800 –> 00:30:46,100
delivered him to the tormentors
till he should pay.

500
00:30:46,400 –> 00:30:50,800
All that was due unto him.
If we are required to pay all

501
00:30:50,800 –> 00:30:53,600
that, we are due and all is
doing to God until we are

502
00:30:53,600 –> 00:30:57,200
released from This prison and we
will never be able to overcome

503
00:30:57,300 –> 00:30:59,900
that debt.
That is the compassion.

504
00:31:00,200 –> 00:31:05,700
And and the patients that God
has shown us patience is a form

505
00:31:05,900 –> 00:31:09,500
of enduring of continuing in a
certain way in order to achieve

506
00:31:09,500 –> 00:31:14,500
a specific gold, Luke 21, and 19
says in your patience possess,

507
00:31:14,500 –> 00:31:19,200
ye your souls.
This patients is vital, it is a

508
00:31:19,200 –> 00:31:21,300
cheerful endurance that we must
have.

509
00:31:21,600 –> 00:31:25,700
We must be pleased to be part of
the As of God developed that

510
00:31:25,700 –> 00:31:30,900
pleasure and desire.
So it is a true race in life

511
00:31:30,900 –> 00:31:33,400
that we enjoy running that we
continue to run.

512
00:31:33,900 –> 00:31:36,700
We must run up with cheerful
endurance is Hebrews tells us

513
00:31:37,300 –> 00:31:40,000
clearly if we become impatient,
if we do like the rest of the

514
00:31:40,000 –> 00:31:43,700
world and inspect and expect,
instant gratification we will

515
00:31:43,700 –> 00:31:46,200
miss the mark and be left out of
God’s plan.

516
00:31:48,600 –> 00:31:52,100
So we come before the emblems
this morning, realizing that

517
00:31:52,100 –> 00:31:57,100
truly what we’ve talked about is
not patients, but love the love

518
00:31:57,100 –> 00:32:01,900
of God toward us to endure, our
to tolerate our behavior, and to

519
00:32:01,900 –> 00:32:06,200
give us that Avenue of Hope.
His love was and is great.

520
00:32:06,200 –> 00:32:10,100
And we find that the major
components of love.

521
00:32:10,100 –> 00:32:13,100
When it says, in First
Corinthians love is patient.

522
00:32:13,100 –> 00:32:15,300
Love is kind.
It does not envy.

523
00:32:15,300 –> 00:32:18,400
It does not boast.
It is not proud.

524
00:32:18,600 –> 00:32:20,900
Out.
And of course I’d be remiss if

525
00:32:20,900 –> 00:32:24,700
we didn’t mention the fruits of
the spirit The fruit of the

526
00:32:24,700 –> 00:32:29,900
spirit is love joy, peace.
Long-suffering, gentleness,

527
00:32:30,000 –> 00:32:34,400
goodness, Faith meekness
Temperance against such.

528
00:32:34,400 –> 00:32:37,400
There is no law.
It’s higher self to the

529
00:32:37,400 –> 00:32:40,900
impatient world is to is like
tying a great anchor around

530
00:32:40,900 –> 00:32:42,600
ourselves and jumping in the
water.

531
00:32:42,800 –> 00:32:44,700
We may be able to tread for a
little while but we’re

532
00:32:44,700 –> 00:32:47,000
eventually going to be pulled
under and drown with the rest of

533
00:32:47,000 –> 00:32:53,000
the world.
So, let us partake of the

534
00:32:53,000 –> 00:32:56,100
emblems this morning in
patients, keeping in our minds,

535
00:32:56,400 –> 00:32:59,600
keeping focused in our minds, on
the things of God and not

536
00:32:59,600 –> 00:33:02,900
worrying about the things of man
are expecting to achieve the

537
00:33:02,900 –> 00:33:06,500
things of fan.
Let us not die from impatience

538
00:33:06,800 –> 00:33:10,800
but let us prolong our lives and
glorify God through our patients

539
00:33:10,800 –> 00:33:20,500
and his servants.
Thank you for listening to the

540
00:33:20,508 –> 00:33:23,000
good.
