So far I have taught you that…

— YOU ARE an Extraordinary Person!

— YOU ARE Blessed TO BE a Blessing!

— YOU ARE Love!

— YOU ARE Healed!

Now this week you will learn that YOU ARE PATIENT!

— Not that you are going to be patient!

— You are actually patient!

The Bible says (James 1:2-4)

v.2 Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials

v.3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.

v.4 And let patience have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

This series is about realizing who you ALREADY ARE!  Well, guess what?  YOU ARE PATIENT!

Do you know why?

— Because God LIVES IN YOU!

— Patience is a FRUIT of the Spirit.

— If God is IN you, then PATIENCE is IN YOU!

Let’s go back to what James said:

v.2 Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials

— Don’t get upset when you are facing something!

— What you are facing will HELP YOU TO SEE WHO YOU REALLY ARE!

— WHOM God has CALLED YOU TO BE!

— WHAT God has ALREADY placed IN YOU!

v.3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.

— Did you get that?

— When your faith is TESTED… it produces PATIENCE!

— PATIENCE is produced through trials and tests!

v.4 And let patience have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

— Do you want to be PERFECT?

— Do you want to be COMPLETE?

— Do you want to LACK NOTHING?

— Well, then you have to allow God GET HIS PATIENCE OUT OF YOU!

— How does this happen?

— Through situations that PRODUCE PATIENCE!

(Hebrews 6:12)  We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.

— The writer of Hebrews is teaching us that the Giants in the Bible were not able to get the promises of God by FAITH ONLY!

— No.  He said, they needed FAITH AND PATIENCE!

— Guess what?  We need FAITH AND PATIENCE!

— And guess what?  YOU ARE PATIENT!  ALREADY!  RIGHT NOW!

Believe the Word of God!

Trust what God says about you.

Believe He has ALREADY GIVEN YOU the ability to be patient!

YOU ARE PATIENT!

GOD IS IN YOU!

PATIENCE IS IN YOU!

GOD’s POWER IS IN YOU!

RECEIVE IT!

BELIEVE IT!

DECLARE IT!

YOU ARE PATIENT!

Get inspired to allow God’s best to flow through you!

Get inspired to actually GROW when you are being tested!

Get inspired to allow patience to have her perfect work!

GET INSPIRED to see yourself patient!

YOU ARE PATIENT!

Until next week,
