All right. The tunnels my message tonight is called true. Patience from Christ. no, we've been reading through the book of Jobe The Book of Job is a very challenging book. And let me tell you something, I have learned a lot from the book of Jobe. I've been reading from a book, from a pastor season, Pastor from England who, and I'll be talked about that in just a moment. But he has helped me to understand the Book of Joel more than I was able to after 42 years, of knowing the Lord Jesus Christ. We have a habit of looking at the Book of Job, I just summer, I get real quick. We don't help began. Boom boom, boom, boom. Let me know how it is. The Book of Job is 42 chapters and there's a lot of stuff in there. A lot of deep stuff hard to ponder hard to relate to very easy in our instant age of gratification of just summarizing everything of making bullet points. Adjust fast-forwarding to the end. Butler Book of Job is a book of poetry and poetry profound poultry speaks to the soul to the heart. Inexplicably in a way that you have to ponder and think about. It doesn't lend itself to a bullet points is a quick summaries into

Into a cliff note, if you will have to ponder the Deep things of God.

The Apostle Paul was writing to Timothy, and he said in the last days, perilous times, shall come.

That's today. We live in the last days. What did it mean? The last days? The last days are the days before. Jesus comes back to the Earth. And Paul told Timothy careless, fears. And that's all day, we have enough Sears barbaric mud, like, mentality day. I do not talk to you about the right or left. You don't agree with that, dude. End up a pond and your sensors and social media, or the case, maybe is barbarism It is fierce and it's just Roy. And again I'm about to talk to you about politics because that's true of the right and the left. What is even worse in this pool to levels? Because the Apostle Paul was speaking of the last days. He's speaking about the time spiritually especially before Jesus comes back to Reign over there and spiritually demon works. It's the great falling away. The formal way of what the falling away of diabetes, doctrines of the tenets of the faith, even so-called Christian will not adhere to what the Bible says. And that's all day we live in the last days. There's some on the world through some Christian song called A Jesus in his Olivet discourse, spoke about the last day. How do you summarize the attitudes of the true Christian? How do we respond to the fierceness the perilous time in which we live? And there's only one way that a true Christian response. He that shall endure. He that shall have patients until the end. The end when Jesus comes back, he's at his patients until Jesus comes back. The same shall be saved. Jesus is giving a functional definition. Definition of days are the same as are those who are able to enjoy Lord have patients until he comes back. So you need to ask yourself if you feel that you belonged to this Kim. A ghost or say you have the Constitution the wherewithal capricious. Of course, it's a gift from God. Is it expressed in your life? Or are you drawn into the things of this world? If you ask yourself, patience is the true characteristics of every true Christian patients stick with anise Not forsaking the face, not part of the Great apostasy. Believing in the local church believing in seeking. First, the kingdom of God, believing in Holiness, believing in hating sin, Believing that when you have placed you want more of him, I don't like the Apostle Paul. Let me talk all things but the things that you might win Christ, the fries, you see, whatever it takes. I'm the treated like done because that's what it is. If it hinders me from having Christ and Intimacy in fullest in patients, that is done to me. What is the characteristic that is the personality spiritually to some degree or not? There's a spectrum, of course, can you relate to that Christian and Jesus said, in the Middle Passage and I preached the sermon on this and Jesus said in your patience, possesses your soul. That underscores that your school at is your patients that you must level with that. You must do all you can in your mind and your emotions to control it. You have a part you must be willing the power of the grace comes from Christ. But will you get a hold of the grace and tell her the price? You see, you have a role in the patient's, the power the blessing. The story The ability comes from Christ, but are you in that process study work in you and through you to do his good pleasure? This evening, I will continue to talk about patience, but I'm going to focus in on the latter point that I just made, but all true patient comes from the power and Grace of Christ. And my text comes from the book of James brother. Cool invention, James this morning and asked up your clothes. Are you texting and reading? He was playing with the stores that have brothers of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Address to persecuted Christians of the 12 tribes of Israel. Please stand as we turn to my text Jane as. My text, but by force Scripture verse follow, it would be the beginning of James James chapter 1 verses 1 through 4 of God and of the Lord, Jesus Christ to the Twelve Tribes which are studying abroad. Bringing my brother--and count, it all joy, calculated as Joy. When you fail with the different Temptations or texting knowing this that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But patients, let patience have her perfect work that you may be perfect, and it's her wanting nothing. You may be seated. James of the house for the Lord. Jesus Christ. He's the pastor of the church at Jerusalem, but he doesn't introduce themselves. Like, hey, hey folks on the brother of the Lord, Jesus Christ on the passenger. I'm a Savage World Service. Add wall the same in that sense, a dreams gives us the proper perspective. How should we use the trials to test? Things are like, how should we approach it? We supposed to look like this, God gave us this testing for the trial so that we can speed patient. You see. And the reason why we need to be patient it so that we could be mature to let me get these built up in twice so that we can be satisfied in Christ and looking over the host schema about different trials, working patients, but really nothing crazy having that big panoramic view we have joy because God took time to prescribe for us what we need. We need testing Sweeney trials that the 12 your face that he found this precious as gold. You see we weren't genuine face. Don't be You buy some pool from a precious metal dealer, you want to know that you bought gold, so they tested under the fire to make sure it's pure in the same way we should be very, very concerned that our faith is true and genuine. And so if we approach it as the holy people that we ought, we should say, Lord Jesus. Just my faith because in the end it might be difficult. It might be hard. Patience is hard. Stick with it, hang in there, it's hard. But in the end. We got maturity, we get refined gold. We get stabbed shop in Christ and we get joy from the Lord. Do we want that? Do we really want them? You see, that's the way that the Apostle James that rewrote this letter. He was to be killed by the edge of the store. So, these are his last Testament in a, in a sense to live, think about it. Steers prescribing to us, what God has told him to the Lord Jesus Christ. We should take heed. when you a gerbil trials in your life testing, You want to pass, don't you? When you take a test you don't want to sell in a true. For the things of this world, how much more for Spiritual things, that endure forever. And so when we have the testing God, give us the grace to approach it with the right perspective. Not to shrink back. But the sea god, you sent this to me as a test of my face and got you show me if I pay this week that you showed me that God help me in the new patients to be built up in Christ to be mature to have the joy. That only comes from knowing that I'm right with Christ and I'm becoming more like Christ. And then jeans message. Again, it's after 5. We looked at chapter one talks about patience, but he mentioned again, in chapter 5, James is a wisdom book. Is that the Book of Proverbs like the book of Psalms Song of Solomon,

Like Ecclesiastes. It didn't it just do for us. What is really important? This is not a small matter because we have patients from God. We can use. It is all sorts of areas of online. This is not just a nice little problem. This is a green Steve about the Christian Life wisdom. We're not talking about categories of knowledge of facts, factoids, we're talkin about what what we really need the knowledge from God. How to live in a way that is pleasing to him. How the hell God's face to shine upon us. This is heavy stuff. This is stuff that you can use in any challenge of your life. We need patience. Do James chapter 5. We have patience, mentioned, chapter 1 and chapter 5, James puts bookends. Patience, he wants us to get it patients chapter 1 and chapter 5. Chapter 5 is my checks behold, we counted happy, which indoor we count them. Happy with your patience, you have over the Patriots, have told. And I've seen the end of the ward, that the Lord Jesus. Now, Lord, let me just say it. In all caps. In the Bible talks about the Lord, and not in all caps to talk about the Lord Jesus. When it's all caps is talk about the personal Covenant name of God. So, we're talkin about Jesus yet. See the end of The word Jesus. Jesus is very pitiful and a tender Mercy Point, one more patient in the end. Live, happy lives. When you say it again, people that are patient. Those are patient in the end in the end live. Happy life, behold, we counted happy witches door. Yahoo the patience of Jobe of Steve. The end of the Lord James Begins, by saying the whole, we count them happy with which it's War. You want you to understand to prepare you for the book of jewels going to be tough. So it tells you the batter hitting the whole, we count them, happy or blessed with indoor. So when we have a trial, and when we have to be patient with remember, God is sending me a blessing. We can go back to that dumb dumb. That's hard to see that in the midst of suffering. In the book of drugs between chapter 2 of drove in chapter 42 is hard. We're going to see Finding blessed. I'm happy. No, he's not happy. It's LG in this wisdom literature reminds us when we opposed to put a joke, remember, God is sending this to you, so you could be blessed and happy. We have to remind ourselves a bit and it's repeated many times what the Scriptures it reminds us of our end. You see the end of the Christian life is when Jesus comes back. That blessed. Hope it doesn't matter what's going on in this world. This is to be our position, the Christian should pray, even so come Lord, Jesus. You see, that's what we put eggs. I kingdom come. We should look at the ends at be reassured. No matter what Trailer World wherein it will pass.

We should look at the end in the scripture tells us to do that, even secular people have this adage Aesop Fable 5th, Century Greek Storyteller, all's well, that ends. Well,

Stephen in the Book of Joel chapter. It says this Joe 40 to 10 and 12, it says, end the war turn, the Captivity of Joe and Dave, what is as much as he had before the board. But the latter end of more than his begin. He was more Rich at the end in the beginning, but I want to warn you and me, it's so easy. Because we know the end of the story that joke was blessed beyond measure twice at the end. But let us live the life of Joel from chapter to 242. You say you don't know the end and neither do we know the end when we're going through trials let us not be traced and superficial. the scripture puts the air into reassurance to help us but when you and I are going to a trial We don't have the luxury of knowing the end from the beginning and the mist. And that's what I want to speak to this afternoon. As we are, we all going through trials. What do we do when we're in the truck? I'll do we just literally, say all things. All is well, that ends well know, it doesn't quite Provide succor to the soul. That might Comfort because I'm having tragedy and trials now. David surgeon again, scriptures that help us to encourage us at the end because this one too often used as a person scriptures, but probably used Too Much. Steven said weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning.

That's a great promise when you're sad and lonely. It's just for a night. And then in the morning, not only did he get the patient's, The Disappearance of weeping spread the other or enjoy. But friends, what do we do when the Weeping seems to last more than a night? What do we do when we're looking out for the joy, in the morning and they ain't there, what are we do? Wednesday? Yesterday. Doesn't seem to listen to us when our becomes deeper sorrow and despair. And we feel like giving up what we do, then you see

it's reassuring and comforting to know that Joy comes in the morning. But what do we do when it doesn't? What about the Apostle Paul put in his Concepts very important but sometimes it doesn't quite real sure. But what did he say X in that the sufferings of this present time? Are not worthy to be compared with the glory, which shall be revealed in US knows what we see Jesus. We know what we see. Jesus would become like him will be glorified. That's reassuring. Hope all is going to tell us this present suffering. It doesn't compare to the glory. Yes, we know that we do that but we are human and we are sinners. As we lock the Beast, that we left the patients, we should use all the scriptures. Give us to reassure us that all's. Well, that ends well for become like Jesus. There's joy in the morning. Yes, we should do those things, but I'm going to spend some time all. So what do we do in the interim? What are you doing between chapters 3 and 42 of Joel Osteen?

The difficult time is now what can provide us. Reassurance and comfort now. So remember pushed. Those were patient in the end with happy life because I've been helping with indoor, you heard of a piece of jewelry. I've seen the end of the Lord. The two kinds of patients described in Jane to kind one relates to patient with a person. I never relate to patients due to the circumstance, brother, Jesse read about these rich and evil. Men, James chapter 5, use the people. They were rich landowners and they abused the people do this. Do that abused and use them took away their money. But what is James tell him to do? He tells him to be patient with this kind of person and you lose, you are hypocritical about you who are wrong in and out, draw Deadpool. Yep, James tells us we have to be patient. Patient with them. Let me tell you and this will help you remember that.

The quickest route to Mia macaronis big to me means angle. So when you have a big anger, Very, very descriptive. When you have big anger, the Bible says that patient. We need to have a big fuse. To deal with that big angle. We often use the other end, the short fuse when he just tell you what it means. If you're not familiar with short fuse means like like it's a bomb work a destination or short fuse means that in just a little while I am going to explode.

I can finally wait to yell at that person. Give him a piece of my mind. I can barely hold on. That's a short few. I'm going to give them Dynamite cuz they deserve. That's a short fuse. But James says, one kind of Pisa. Don't mean to have with people that abused you I'm not talkin about subtlety. I'm talking about these evil men, that abuse their workers, give it to them and their property over the poor.

There's some things that people do that, just get my goat and I'm sure get your go to, we get in and dignity, but James said, no, we can't do that because the way of Christ is the house of a bicth. You not a short fuse but we let it burn add burn. Add burn, we don't expose you see that's the way he prescribed by the mall. So Jay that's what it be like from. So one kind of patient is being patient with an individual, somebody who deserves who doesn't deserve our pictures But the other kind of patient is patient under a difficult circumstance and that's despite so many times in the Bible, one of them is the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. You have to be patient. I don't know about you. But when I pray even so come Lord Jesus. When I pray the sky Kingdom, Come. I'm just thinking, man, I just want just this to happen, this is wrong. Beauty, I want. I want this. So why is you neck down to the lamb and the leopard to lie down with the kid. Isaiah said, the wolf also shall dwell with the lamb at 11 or so right down with the kids and the cast of The Young Lion and the fatling together and a little child shall lead them. That will happen when Jesus comes back. Not know about you, but I want that to happen. I want peace on the earth. I was Administration to be a cuttables to do judge rightly. I must the Lord. Jesus will wipe away every tear. So when we play even so come Lord, Jesus by Kingdom, Come, we have to be patient because the Lord tarries, he's not here. James said. Be patient James 578 applying to the second coming of Christ, we need to be patient be patient therefore Brethren unto the coming of the Lord. Notre. Dame's the wisdom book. He's talking about Tisha. He's giving the example of the second coming of Christ. Few patients there for a brother or to the coming of the Lord. Behold the husband name for the former players for the precious fruit of the Earth at a chrome pieces for it until he received the early and the latter rain. Be also patient that was her heart's going to come into the world Boardwalk Nike Store, close to be patient for The Borgias to come. We don't know why he carries but he has a reason that we have to defer our Lord. Jesus Christ. Now, think about this. there's a story that people give regarding a former Yeti patient. You so long to see you, wait for the rain and all the race in his world by the way. There's only two major rings. That happens twice a year before me the latter rain at they wait for that ring. You can't make the ringtone doesn't matter. What folklore says about about doing the dancing. Know it's not going to come Lord. Will stand the rain when he wants to but no ordinarily and Israel and land of Israel that only comes twice because it's desert lands. The former and the latter rain comes at Waters to see. We have to be patient. What would you think of a child to plant a seed in the ground? Next morning? Get to Seton. Nothing you just killed to see got to be patient patient for the German side to have its roots to be yours from the soil Exedra and the same way that the former needs to be patience. We have to be patient. For Jesus, to come back. And that's apply for soul-winning without irritation or Soul winning. Cuz that's where we're doing. We're reaping, I saw him. The boy had spent upon the Lord. The increase. We noticed, we watered my plants be watered, but the God has to give the increased. So we have to be patient that we should go a sewing, but the Lord Jesus Christ has to add the increased and until then we have to be patient. Patient doesn't mean the same as a nativity. In the case of the rain it is, you can't make the rain the pole shed and let us not. Be weary Galatians 6:9, let us not be weary in well-doing. It for me, for, in due season, we shall reap. If we faint not, What does it mean? Don't be weary it's harvest time. Don't be weary. The world will reap into season. The promise. We don't know when it comes. But why we're waiting? We are praying. We are watching and praying waiting and praying. So in his brain justifying a preaching and praying and waiting Patience patience, for the Lord, Jesus to bless.

We will too much consider while we are waiting. Why are we waiting for? Why is it so hard water? We going through a trial, we was never discount the possibility that there's a reason for that may be just beyond patience.

The Bible says do not chasing no no disciplining. For the present. Seems to be joyous. I'm talking to Children Of God, Christian now. No spanking. No discipline on the present seems to be joyous. But nevertheless, I swear that, you'll disturb the peaceful fruit of righteousness, of the damn, with your exercise there by where, for lift up your hands which hang down and the feeble knees. What is God saying in the book of Hebrews, he say we need to ask ourselves if we're going through a trial or AAA STAR testing, maybe it's because we're Banks. You say?

Maybe it's because we have the Peaceable fruit of the spirit. Middle report on Sims 4. That's good because we know that we are children of God through this and the end will be better, we'll have peace and so because of that if you going to a trial and garden show you this for a reason that we should look up and think about the positive reasons we are trying to God, she's not let her head and hands hang down. We should look it up and rejoice because that means something that means, you know, God and major is child, you thought and prayed about it and you're going through something for a reason. Then it's verifying that I'm a Child of God.

Apostle Paul.

You said, confirming the soul straight this old of its cycles and exhorting them to continue in the face. That we must through much tribulation enter the kingdom of God. You see is not only ourselves that goes to trial and tribulation we just look to a right or left in front of behind us. Maybe there's a brother and sister that discouraged you see Maybe they need confirmation that bubble, you're on the right track. Had witches be patient. This is God's design confirming. The souls drinking this old ignoring them to cut in your face, telling them. The Bible says that, we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. This is the path of normal Christian. This is not for those. Who are boy troubles and trials of all pump Christianity is not for you. You're not a disciple. It's not worth it. You your souls not worth it to you but I do know Christ. Are you have patience? Because I said every true Christian has patience is not your stick with anise. It's because you're in Christ hands, and no one can take you away all the questions. No one can separate you from the love of God in Christ. I thought you must stick with it, not because of you but because Christ in you you say it. But if you see others around you brother sister, swaggins logging discourage and it's our job to confirm them to exhort them to continue in the face because we need to see each other. We must through much tribulation enter the kingdom of God, and of course, it's worth second, the Lord Jesus Pena Tender Mercies provides for a patient. Like I said, the grace, the power comes from Jesus, not come to go. Discipline. Not comes for our own ability or Rose dedication or her own Bible, knowledge around picture or anything else. Do we do?

The Bible says do not Point second awards for Jesus Pena televisions provide for a patient to be a whole week on some happy with his drawer. You've heard of a piece of Joe and assume the end of the world. That is the result of the ward. The purpose of Lord Jesus, that he's very dependable and tender and because he is very pitiful toward us and because he's very tender toward us, he is Abel's us to be patient.

What does it mean to be very pitiful, that the same word? What Jesus looked at the people without a Shepherd Franklin, it's the mice. He was moving his guts when he sees you under trial and texting is so sorry for the night. His gut is turned.

Is that his toy boy because he knows I'm not talking about God being I'm a musician. Yes, he knows. God the Father. Holy Spirit as Jesus being God knows because our mission know Jesus has personal first-hand experience with your problem. The Bible said, we don't have an high priest that cannot be with the feeling of our infirmities.

but it wasn't all points tempted, like, as we are dealt with else in there for because we have a sympathetic Saviour know, we have an empathetic savior because he knows precisely what we're going to let us therefore come to the throne of grace. You see? That we might obtain Grace and help in time of need. That is the Spurs afraid when you are under a trial, when you think you can't do it, remind yourself that Jesus. What do the same thing to Willis? Come with our burden to our Savior. Who knows, and let us fight Grace and help because we need help, don't lie when we're struggling in our smaller, one more crime, where we picked, we think I can make it if I get home loan. When is home right now? In time of need to tell him, he does know, then let us go to our throne of grace. He's inviting us. Jesus and I know what you're going through. Come to Me, cast your cares upon me, I care about you, you see? And you will find Grace to help in time of need.

Play Tela. The boy, Jesus is our example of patience. The whole we come to happy with your drawer or patience. You have a little piece of Joe at a sing, the end of the war that the world is very pitiful and of tender Mercy.

Jesus always does the will of his father. Jesus always glorify his father. Let me just give you a few bible verses to remind you of that. Why am I telling you that Jesus always does? The will of his father is always glorify. The father is our example of patience.

Jesus said, and what were you asked jealous? Remind me. That will I do that? The father may be glorified in the son. He's asking us to pray and he promises to end because he wants the father to be glorified through him in the sun. Here it is. My father boar fights that you bear much fruit. So shall you be my disciples? Your life is my father Core, 5, Jesus wants his phone going to be glorified.

Father, glorify thy name now. Why am I saying this? Because there's a connection with patients and would more find God. Many people know hear what the chief end of man is to glorify God and to enjoy him forever. The first question in the Westminster Shorter Catechism, what is the chief end? The chief purpose of man to glorify God and to enjoy him forever. But how do we do that? How do we glorify God in a Toyota 4Runner?

Enter the Book of Joel. I've been reading. Former pastors Pastor by name of Christopher, M. And I believe he has great insight to the book of drugs that spoke to my soul. Because he believes I've heard doing Grace. Original language, work. The chief and the chief purpose of the Book of Joel is that true address? The problem of evil, many people say then. Book of Thoth is the problem of evil. We can understand it. Little Joe V's not even to just do the patience of Jobe it is but not the primary reason, the purpose of the Book of Job. Is people one to glorify God and number two to show in Joel, the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. So you calling me and I think you'll be convinced of that.

It was a day. When the sons of God and Satan himself, presented himself before God is through.

And God initiated the conversation. You see look at my servant job. He is up, right? He is fully he hates evil.

It's a 270 sure, I'm paraphrasing. Sure, they got you protecting. Anybody? Would you die? If you protect him? In other words, keep saying the Prosperity Gospel, you say, You see I want God because God can give me things and that and Satan is putting that in dog face thing. He's no good. He just doesn't because you left him, but you take away that hedge around him and you'll see your cursed you and so God took away the Hedge. And Joe was still upright and holy and true to God's name. And then the devil says skin for skin. Okay, you protected the outside. But what about you touch his body? God will he still glorify you? And it does. Okay, go do it. Play Satan a foot through the Bulls to the top to the bottom. And not only that, but his wife told him curse, God and die. I want you to follow this. Know, I told you the purpose of Book of Joel is to prove and is to give glory to God. Let me tell you the devil has a point there.

Play Store was blessed as you remember. He had seven sons and three children. He had seven or camels a lot of a rich man from the East Rich so we don't know. Maybe drove was. No course. God says he's up, right? So I trust God. Is that? But if you think about it and it really, is it possible that Joe was just that good because he thought that hate, this is working. This Prosperity stuff is real. I'm good and I bet good stuff. That's pretty good arrangement as given the circumstance as possible. And so how are you going to tease that out? You take away the good stuff and that's what God allow the devil to do took away. All is well.

Took away his life support took away his heart. In chapter 3, he told his father he wants to die. She wish you wasn't created but still sold more supplies. God doesn't accuse God. What am I telling trying to tell you? I'll tell you this that God's glory is more important than our comfort. And that's the message of gold. I got food. There's one man upon the Earth. Who won the Glory by God just because he's giving something good. Just because health is good, just because he's worth. He's just be guessing at this point of life, just because he is full of joy. None of those things he had. It was taken away and still drove did not have to go. I told you. That's the first point. Second point is this. Yoga course, 2 chapter 3 to 41 was not perfect. But he was blameless. She was upright, he was isolated, he was lonely.

He died in his large, but he was resurrected this testimony and he was forsaken by his God. Does that sound familiar is a type of Christ. It's all because Joe was a type of place is a type of what we ought to be true. You see we ought to be a person that glorifies God and enjoy him forever.

That's the message of joke, but let me tell you a little bit of a testimony myself, as you know. I've been through some pain. I'm looking for but the pain by my talk about experience, I had Let me just tell you. I have never felt so helpless in my life. I've never felt so dependent upon God as of late, but it came to a pitch on Friday. My wife knows at. I'm in so much pain on the floor. I couldn't do anything. I couldn't wipe myself, I could do anything. That's not the worst of it though. I had an MRI done on Friday. And I called you, I knew when I went there. I just might seem like that come like, you might understand but let me explain. I knew that I was there for a reason. I knew that God was testing me. Let me tell you what, I mean, grumpy guy, go on the table.

I didn't talk back to him or you think I kind of felt, you know what, I need to go through this? I need to go see this. And this is why I need to go through this part of how God is humbling me. I said golden table, table. You got to stay there line spot for 25 minutes. You put me on the table as long as he's putting in the MRI, I do not have claustrophobia. Let me tell you what happened. I was in pain there. He said you can't lose you Captain. So I was there. They put me in that MRI there. 25 minutes of paint, I can't move. And I thought I have to be an example to my wife. Optavia example to this wasp person. I'm thinking, I've ordered a mic for patients a piece of patience and I'm supposed to be a Christian I'm supposed to end, or I'm supposed to have patience and I'm thinking I'm feeling condemned. And while I'm there, and the time goes on and on and on, I'm having paid, but I can't move. And I start getting claustrophobia in my mind, whirling and running, cuz I can't do this. I can't do this.

And then I squeeze off. Oh yeah, you're right. You're right, you're right. It on the week. Show it to me. So I went back in But let me just tell you something, that was a lesson I had that I felt so inept and capable so weak so much depending upon God that it felt like an eternity was 25 minutes. So I'm just telling you what am I sharing with you? I'm sharing with you this.

The God keeps the humble has had to show us. A video on the pastor, how can I do that? How could I be so weak? How can I not stay on the bed for 25 minutes? How can I not do this? When I ordered 4,000 patients can look at me like a baby. I can't stay there and do that. God showed me that I have to be dependent on him and other is nothing Source in myself. I can't do it. Yo, what we think about our lives? We think about, I know about you, but somehow, I think well, by God's grace, I did this by God's grace, it did this. We put God's grace in there before God's glory in there but are doing really, really interest God's glory, are we interested in not depending upon him. And I found that I need to depend upon him and when it's felt like I can't do this, I felt I was going to go crazy crazy. I just want to tell you that God does what he does to Humble us to show us that we have no stuff. We have most of everything we have comes from Jesus. I love the man who talked about me, but let me tell you something. I am nothing, and I can do nothing. And the only thing we can do is submit to the will of God by the grace of God, and I know probably say the same thing. I love this brother dearly of what he does for Christ, but if you would stand there, he will tell you that the only reason he do that because God gave him the strength. I'm telling you that with God to the board, Jesus Christ, everything is possible and you try to do anything by yourself. You will fail. God needs to put us in our place and do that. Then we worm the really leaned upon price You see? What are the words the devil to pulverize drove? Not because he didn't love Joe, he loves Joe, you gave him more than what he he came in with. But see you have to think about this is no comparison to God is omniscient. He knows that he is right, he is true. I told you bring boards himself, it's right, it's right he's not infatuated, he's not he's he's not megalomaniac. He's not he's not someone who has a pride issue. Is that something he's narcissistic know he's gone and his wife and he's a rock and he's a man's Glory. Cuz it's right. You see. No one else can say that but God is three persons can say that. And we need to give God the glory to see who he is. And only if we do that We're talking about patient. We talked about Joe went on about Jesus giving Joseph patients, but Jesus himself.

You're so patient.

You do this first? Let me say it again, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. Who for the joy, that was set before him and roared roared that means patients under the circumstance. Deer drawer. The cross be adored the beating of the crown of thorns. Did George the spitting. The flogging. Dear Jordan. Why for you? Is that not only are example of patience? But because he was patient, he works in the cross and you can have salvation The Bible says, about suffering of Our Lord is salvation. Not only was he a patient that goes across, but many of you here, they're lost. He's patiently waiting for you. He already did that. He already in George peacefully under the worst of circumstances to secure yourself patients. Now he's patient waiting for you to come to him. You see? Jesus's locations.

And guarded the word, Jesus bound ourselves together to offer. You so vicious. The Bible says the word with all caps that means the personal, name of God.

What is this way gracious? Slow to anger and pushes princess in Mercy? Right now, God is merciful to you. He is patient with you. Jesus is waiting on you, but there's a limit

do not take for granted. The patience of God do not take for granted the patience of the Lord. Jesus Christ. He died on the cross and George was patient through all the suffering, to secure yourself patients. But you need to come to him and got his patients from you.

come to Jesus while you can, this is serious. We are creatures of time and space starting up. God giving you this day when tomorrow comes, you don't know if you have sinned against the day of Grace. Come to Christ. God, give me the day gods and patient with you. Jesus has been patient with you. Come to Christ. Have your sins? Forgiven have all your sins washed in the blood of Christ. Let's all stand. Please.

If we faint, not help us with a patient. Do I pay for the loss? Sheldon God, that was already been so patient with them and show them that that were in the right place to judge them for their sins cuz they have neglected price, you have a fear of the God help them not to miss portrayed by patients, have enough today. That I patient is a sign of weakness. Helping the sentence with our God and I will bring forward till I sell at even more than Eternal judgment. That will bring glory to myself, that will get it because our God is still not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Help them. God, to do that.
