PATIENCE FULFILLED

Dear One,
   My patience with people has always been taxed into its full work because of the reluctance of My children to take My advice and My wisdom.  You talk about plan B if something does not work out.  I have used plans A, B, C, D, E, F, G and further until someone in the earth will follow My instructions and trust Me enough to do what I ask.
    My plan for the redemption of My creation through the  Son of God also becoming the Son of man was planned from the beginning when the first man fell from fellowship with Me and began to also fellowship with the evil one.  Because I had given authority in the earth to people, there had to be prophesy through people concerning every aspect of the life of the Messiah. It took patience on My part to find men who would yield to Me enough to prophecy aspects of His birth, His ministry, His wisdom, His truth, His teaching, His miracles, His compassion, His death, His resurrection, His ascension and His relinquishing the Holy Spirit and sending Him to earth to continue the ministry of Jesus. Not everyone yielded immediately to My prompting to prophecy whichever aspect I wanted to be spoken at the time in order to get My plans of redemption into the earth.
     My patience was necessary because of My compassion regarding the plights of My children caused by their obeying the voice of satan rather than obeying My voice.  I wanted to immediately send My Savior into the earth, but the precise prophesy of His birth, life, ministry and death had to be prophesied before it could happen.
     My patience with mankind is unending.  My patience with My rebellious children who fraternize with evil spirits and then demand My loyalty by answering their prayers tries My patience constantly. There is no end to My patience with My children, even when they are seduced again and again to participate in their own destruction.  When they return to Me and follow My Fatherly advice, they are restored to full favor with Me and My kingdom. Their suffering that came from their following the voice of evil instead of following My voice is immediately relieved and the crowns of life are placed on their heads.
    Since My patience is everlasting, and the same patience is in your spirit in the person of My Holy Spirit, you must be patient with others who succumb to the voice of the evil one and retreat from the protection of My family.  You must pray for them, lifting them above the elements of evil and restoring them to full favor with Me.  You must do what Jesus said to do, forgive them, do good to them, and you will see their salvation and complete restoration.
     Abraham spoke the things that were not as though they were, speaking faith statements before the culmination of My promises were evident. That is what faith statements do, speak the final works for which you pray before there is any evidence before your eyes.  In other words, you prophecy the answer to your prayers, thanking Me for them, praising Me for My abilities to bring them to fruition.  The answer to prayers spoken in faith become substance because you have prophesied them as being evident before they were visible. Speaking doubt and unbelief statements will not produce the answers to our prayers.  When you do speak the answers to your prayers as though they already were evident, that faith provides the highways from heaven to earth for the answers to your prayers to become reality because you have confidently spoken your faith in Me.
    My promises to My children make good prophesy words to speak when problems appear, speaking the good things that are not evident as through they are.  In other words, you are saying, “My Heavenly Daddy can do anything,” and “I am persuaded that He is able to do whatever I commit to Him.”
    Your Patient and Loving Father

PATIENCE IS EXTENDED FAITH

Dear One,
   Some of My children erroneously teach others that I try their faith, sending horrible circumstances their way to see if they will be loyal to Me.  Those people do not know Me and they do not know their enemy is the devil, the father of all destruction.  Those people have not sought the revelation of My Holy Spirit which reveals evil as being from the devil and blessings as being from Me; seeking Me for discernment between the two entities in the heavens.
    I do not test My children and their faith.  I do not try My children to test their faith.  Only an evil parent would do that.  I live inside of My children.  I know their loyalty and the strength of their faith.  I am forever proving Myself to My children, proving My loyalty and My love to them.
    Because of false beliefs of My character, some of My children believe that works of the devil work patience in My children.  Most often they work defeat and a falling away from me rather than loyalty to Me.  My Holy Spirit teaches that when problems come into  your life that you must rejoice and PUT TO WORK the fruit of My patience, which is inside of you in the person of My Holy Spirit.   
    Patience is extended faith that persists even when things look bad to human eyes.  It is the power of My Spirit which gives you assurance that My promises are true and that My promises will always be fulfilled. 
     Instead of putting My patience to work in their minds, very often My children will rant and rave at Me because I have not immediately answered their prayers.  Their emotional suffering becomes overbearing because they don’t know the interactions between the physical world and the spiritual world.  They don’t know that their own wills are being tested by the devil to see if he can tempt you to abandon Me and My promises to them.   
    My desire for you is that you will rejoice when problems persistently come in your life, letting the devil’s tests of your faith in Me draw upon the working or power of the patience of My Holy Spirit, refusing to be moved off of your solid rock of belief in My love for you and My determination to save you from the effects of the problems.  My desire for you is that you will rejoice that the outcome of all problems will be My miraculous works in your behalf because you have trusted in Me. 
    Your faith and patience in Me gives Me the authority to bring My perfect, saving outcome in every situation, ones which will be blessings to you instead of the curses that come from the devil.  The devil tested the faith and loyalty of Jesus and Jesus stood firmly upon His trust in Me.  You must do likewise.
    You can count it all joy when problems come from the evil one testing your faith, knowing that the end result of your faith and patience is a guaranteed glorious testimony of My love for you.  It is My good pleasure to give you My kingdom and all the power and blessings that are resident in it.  Know that your faith will be tested by the evil one, but when you rejoice, seek wisdom from Me, remain stable on the rock of faith and patience, you will receive the crown of life, proclaiming My victory in your battle.
     Your Patient and Loving Father    James 1.

      

WILLINGLY PATIENT

WILLINGLY PATIENT

Dear One,
   Spiritual patience, which is a fruit of My Spirit, is the willingness to wait for a perfect solution or result to appear.  You notice I said “willingly.” That means waiting without griping, moaning, fretting, worrying, doubting or complaining.  Remember that patience is the twin of faith because it is with faith and patience that you will inherit My promises. 
    Patience is an act of the will of your spirit caused by your incorporating the power of My wisdom and insight into the workings of My will in a matter, not the working of your fleshly will.  You come to Me for My solutions because the acts of your own will have failed.
     Patience is based upon your revelation knowledge that My will is what is needed to perfectly orchestrate strategies which bring satisfactory results and which will bring you happiness in a matter. That is why Jesus said to Me, “Not My will but Yours be done.”
    My patience which is resident inside of you is the power to yield to My will even though it might involve emotional suffering on your part while I am orchestrating the perfect results in your behalf.  True faith and patience look forward to the glorious outcome, the working of My pleasure in the situation which is to give to you all of My kingdom, even in your earthly life. True patience is waiting for the ripe, sweet apple and not settling for a green, sour one, as you have said.
     Patience is based on faith in Me and My abilities. Patience is not moved by earthly occurrences.  Faith and patience speak the things that are not as through they were, knowing that I am bringing My perfect solution to your prayers.
    When you patiently submit your mind to Me, I will give you an image of the perfect results before it is materialized and it will create faith to move mountains.
    My loving patience with you for many years should spur you to have loving patience with your loved ones, being convinced that your prayers for them will be answered in marvelous ways. Their emotional outbursts and fleshly tantrums mirror your family’s moods of the past.  I was solidly patient with you and you must be solidly patient with them so that your prayers will not be hindered. Don’t interfere with My orchestrated chain of events that are  being instituted to bring supernatural results into their lives.  Work with me patiently, not against me emotionally.     
   Bringing peace to every situation will contribute patience to every prayer request and assure a heavenly orchestrated, perfect results.  It is My good pleasure to give you My kingdom.
   Jesus said to not let your heart be troubled with impatience, but to calmly and patiently wait for My answer to your requests.  It’s just that simple. With faith and patience you will inherit My promised good works in your behalf.  Your work in the matter is merely faith and patience which cause you to be joyful and expectant in waiting for the marvelous things that I have planned for you.
    Your Patient and loving Father  John 14:1; Hebrews 6:12; I Thessalonians 1:2-3; Hebrews 11:1-2; Luke 12:32.

THE PATIENCE STOREHOUSE

Dear One, There is a storehouse full of patience inside of every one of My children. It is in My Holy Spirit. My Spirit is the chamber of endless patience, just like He is the chamber of endless love and faith. It is written that tribulation works patience.

That is not to say that bad things teach you patience. It means that when bad things come into your life that you can put the patience that is in My Holy Spirit to work inside your mind. You can bring patience from My Spirit inside of your spirit into your fleshly mind with its peaceful ability to wait for the answer to your prayers to be manifested. Each time you call on My patience inside of your spirit, you strengthen your reliance on My patience. It’s like lifting weights for the person who exercises. Every time the person lifts weight repeatedly, the muscles which are engaged become stronger and stronger, more pronounced and powerful. So when you allow My patience to work in your fleshly mind, you are enhancing your patience and making it stronger, full of the power necessary to wait for the manifestation of the answers to your prayers. When tribulations come, I said through Paul to rejoice during those difficult times and patience will increase as well as hope, which leads to faith, which leads to collecting your inheritance. Patience during bad times is a testimony to My grace being sufficient because My patience applied to bad situations increases faith and produces results. You might ask how can bad times increase your faith and patience? It’s not the bad times that increase them, it’s your response to the bad times which can increase your patience and faith. When you rejoice you gain strength because joy brings strength. When you rejoice and become thankful for the answers to your prayers, plus being grateful for My favor to you, then patience is drawn from the wells of salvation inside of you just like joy is drawn by buckets full from the same well, My Holy Spirit. Some of My children say that they asked Me for patience and things got worse in a situation. My wish for you is that you let patience do her work during the bad times, learning to draw it from My Spirit’s patience, which is a fruit of My Spirit. You don’t learn patience from bad things happening to you; instead, you should learn to draw patience from Me during bad times. Bad times bring depression to the fleshly mind. During bad times, you can draw My patience from Me, apply it to your mind, and My glory will accompany the patience, creating more faith because you have accessed My characteristic of patience. Patience is not inactive, merely waiting for the answers to prayers. Patience is active, always rejoicing, increasing in prayers, thanksgiving and praise, declaring your faith and trust upon Me to the heavens. Rejoice during tribulations because rejoicing bring peace to your mind while patience is being infused there. You cannot be depressed and joyful at the same time. Choose to rejoice because of My grace, forgiveness and love. You will experience that patience and faith will increase and they will cause you to inherit the promises I have made to My children. Your Loving Father Romans 5:1-11; James 1:2-8; Philippians 4:4-7.

PATIENT ENDURANCE

Dear One, My patience with My children needs to be taught and researched in My Instruction Book. Under My first covenant with a nation through which Jesus descended, My patience was tried over and over and over again. Each time, as they returned to fellowship with me, I restored them to My favor, helped them out of their difficulties and poured My blessings, My guidance and My love upon them. I never left them.

 They left Me repeatedly, yet My patience was everlasting. My patience endures all things. Why am I always patient, you ask? Again, as I have told you before, I understand the temptations that My children experience and I understand the weak wills of some, and I understand the persistence of the devil to trick you into having destructive thoughts toward others. I understand because I walked in flesh in the person of My Son. I understand because I know the strategies of the evil one to rob My children, torture My children and even kill My children. Because of My patience, I understand and forgive easily. You should, also. With My Holy Spirit residing inside of you, you have My patience resident in your spirit to give you the mind of Christ, My mind which was in Christ Jesus. You have My patience already in abundance inside of you and you can access it at will, when it is needed, which is usually in answer to prayers. I said to ask and you will receive. That is clear, concise and true. Patience is necessary in order for you to wait patiently while My angels and I are working in your behalf to bring the answers to prayers into being I grant your request immediately when you ask, but time is required for us to change circumstances and people in your earthly dimension, bringing them into obedience to My orchestrations in order to answer your requests. Remember, I am not a dictator, eager to manipulate people at My will. Because I gave humans free will, I have to work with their free wills and work to influence them to change their wills so that their prayers can be answered. That is why I said that faith and patience work together in facilitating your entire inheritance to be delivered to you. Faith is at the basis of patience, girding it up at all times. Because of My patience with you when you make mistakes, when you use words to bite and devour people, when you take paths down dangerous roads in life, sow strife, anger your children and refuse to take My advice, then you should have patience with your own family, your friends, neighbors, people involved in political factions and religious heresies, people who are deceived and ones who are rebellious and resentful. Patience with other people who have different beliefs, different morals, different heritages and different experiences deserve your patience because I am always patient with you. Sow patience and you will inherit patience from others. Your faith and patience allows Me time to grant your requests. Your patience with others allows them time to change their attitudes in answer to your prayers. Patience allows you to wait patiently for the perfect answer. I am patient with you. Be patient with Me and others. Your Patient and Loving Father - Hebrews 6:12; Hebrews 3:8-11; Galatians 5:16-26; Hebrews 5:16.

FATHER KNOWS BEST

Dear One, I would not have asked My children to keep peace with everyone if it were not possible with the power of My Holy Spirit.

Remember that peace begets peace and those people who sow peace are called My children.. I would not have asked My children to love others as I love them if it were not possible with My Holy Spirit in them. Remember that under My old covenant with a nation I asked them to love others as they love themselves, but under My covenant with all humanity I ask them to love others as I love them because it is only possible with the indwelling of My Holy Spirit. I would not have asked My children to forgive others so that their sins would also be forgiven if it were not possible with the power of My Holy Spirit. Remember that My Son Jesus, after He breathed My Spirit into them, told His disciples that whosoever sins they forgive are forgiven and whosoever sins they retain are retained. In other words, you forgive your own sins when you forgive others; and you retain your own sins when you retain the sins of others. I would not have asked My children to turn the other cheek when someone strikes them instead of striking back if it were not possible with the power of My Holy Spirit to return good for evil done to them. Remember that My wisdom is given to protect you from the destruction that happens when you fight back instead of doing good to those who do evil to you. Doing good to your enemy results in diffusing an explosive situation, ending it instead of adding fuel to it, which returning evil for evil does. I would not have asked My children to first seek My kingdom and My righteousness if it were not possible to do so with the power of My Holy Spirit. Remember that when you intimately know Me, knowing the depth, width, height and length of My love for you, when you know the benefits of having My Spiritual power inside of you, and when you know the strategies of your spiritual enemy, the devil, then My power that resides in you will not only cause you to defeat the works of the devil but My power of My Holy Spirit will see that all of your inheritance will flood into your life, all joy, all love, all peace, all patience, all goodness, all kindness, all mercy, and yes, all the earthly goods which meet your needs, wants and desires. I would not have told you to feed the hungry, give alms to the poor, minister to the broken hearted, heal the sick if it were not possible with the power of My Holy Spirit. Every good father gives his children his wisdom, knowledge, character and instructions on how to succeed in life. Jesus said how much more will I give My Holy Spirit to My children, the greatest gift ever given, because His indwelling is My presence in their lives with My unconditional love and My power to defeat all evil. Remember that Jesus came to earth to destroy the works of the devil. My Holy Spirit has the same task today and He gives you the power to accomplish it, if My children will only heed His advice. The ball is in your court. I never tell you to do something without giving you the power and ability to do it. I have given you My very own Spirit. Use My power wisely and be blessed. Your Loving Father - Matthew 5; John 14;12-33; John 15:7-14; I John 3:8.

PEACE THAT PASSES HUMAN UNDERSTANDING

Dear One, Yes, there is a peace that, when it floods your mind, is beyond all human knowledge and understanding.

 It can’t be explained because it comes from My Holy Spirit inside of you and is an outgrowth of My Spirit. When it envelops your mind, it erases all doubt, worry, fretting and confusion. Instead of those negative emotions, you are filled with faith, joy, belief and a calm, sound mind. Peace is a commodity that is worth billions of your dollars to the recipient. It fulfills a universal need, a need for peace between countries, peace between governments, peace between political parties, peace between workers and bosses, peace between neighbors and, most of all, peace between family members. When My peace is present in a person’s life, he or she enjoys the atmosphere of My heaven where peace is spiritually dispensed. Some people kill themselves just to have peace in their minds. Some people kill others whom they feel are robbing them of their peace. There are others who kill because they are so tormented in their minds that they think ridding their lives of offensive, political, religious or social enemies will give them peace. All of those people have made flesh and blood the causes of their problems, other humans, because they don‘t know that humans are never the problem in conflicts, but that evil spirits sent by satan to harass them are the problem. They fight what they can see and hear instead of fighting the spirits that are at the core of their problems. My Spirit wrote in your Instruction Book that you should do all things in moderation, never entertaining political and religious doctrinal extremes, never being drunk with wine but being filled with My Spirit, never becoming stressed from cares and worries but praying and thanking Me for the answers to prayers. When you are able to do those things, you will find that My peace will suddenly invade your mind and chase away the cares and worries. Jesus taught extensively about exchanging worries for My peace. When My peace comes into your mind in the twinkling of an eye you are changed from a worrier to a spiritual warrior, eager to walk in faith and share your peace with others, relieving them of their burdens by your testimony of what My peace has done for you. Jesus said that you should not worry, which is the absence of peace. My Holy Spirit said to always rejoice and to be anxious for nothing but to let your requests be known to Me with prayers and thanksgiving and then My peace which passes human understanding will keep our hearts and minds free from turmoil. He said that you must always think only on things that are pure, peaceful, just, true, loving, positive, virtuous and worthy of praise and then you will retain the peace that I give to you. Gird up the loins of your mind and refuse to think negative, stressful, strife filled, angry, jealous and divisive thoughts. Those temptations are from your enemy. Don’t join with his tumultuous thoughts and then expect to have My peace. You are the boss of your own mind and you have the strong will to refuse negative thoughts. Your Peaceful Father Philippians 4:4-9; I Peter 1:13-15.
