The Excellency of Patience
by
The Excellency of Patience is great, because it gives you peace of mind. The peace of mind comes from knowing that the Father is in control. The control from the Father allows calm endurance. Patience is excellent because it purifies the motive. These thoughts are driven by the following verses.
James 1:1-8King James Version (KJV)
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
Why would James use her or a female voice to personify patience?
James personifies patience as a woman or a female voice because, a male voice may project too much aggression. Patience doesn’t require strength and aggression it requires you to focus and listen.
After this test you will want nothing.
God testing your faith is excellent because, after the test He gives you great rewards. These rewards are not just in riches, but also in wisdom. God says if you lack wisdom and ask Him, it (wisdom) will be given to you. But you must have faith and not waver like the sea.
“Faith is the accelerant.” Joel Osteen
Since faith is an accelerant when it is tried it accelerates patience. So the traditional tenants of patience do not apply as you work your faith. Faith can speed the process of being perfect and wanting nothing. Faith can be an accelerant in anything, the acceleration comes from you believing in the father and trusting in his word. In this faith do not waver in asking Him, if you waver you will be lost, driven out, and tossed away according to James 1 verse 6.
Proper faith and believing causes you not to waver. This patience leads you on an excellent new path. God leads you to places you have never encountered that will give joy while testing your faith.
Realized Potential
by
The first of the year brings excitement of new possibilities
New possibilities are mingled with potential that is placed in you. We all have potential to reach our wildest dreams. Many years we write these list that are well meaning and generally are obtainable. The challenge is follow through and completion. Completion takes focus when you are months into the New Year.
Make a dramatic change
This says to you and those around you that you are serious this time. Living in consciousness not in emotions. Emotion causes you to doubt your ability to change because it convinces you that begin stuck in the past will satisfy you better than the future will.
Hosea 2:23
And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God.
God always has a change of heart for his people whether they were with him or not if God can have mercy on those which were not his people, then having mercy on the new you and giving it a chance should not be something to question.
Write the plan
Write the plans you know it now. Do not rest or rely on your previous directives to shape your new future. When you write take the limits off of the potential God placed in you. Increase your awareness of your own needs. Do not let others steer you in the wrong direction away from your plans.
Be relentless in your pursuit of greatness
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
Why are you doing part of the work and expecting full results? In order to realize your potential, you have to exhaust all possibilities. Leave no stone unturned. Knock on the extra doors in search of your dreams. Realize you are the truth.
Connect with God’s Treasure

The Lord hears you
by
The Lord hears you when trouble comes and He comes to your defense. God sends help from Heaven and strengthens you from within. God will remember your offerings. This means what you offered willingly, He will replenish abundantly.
Psalm 20
20 The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;
2 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;
3 Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.
4 Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.
5 We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the Lord fulfil all thy petitions.
6 Now know I that the Lord saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.
7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.
8 They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.
9 Save, Lord: let the king hear us when we call.
A mature believer knows how to ask properly. Asking properly means asking according to Gods words. The latter section of Psalm 20 v 4 says and “fulfill ALL thy counsel.” God wants you to have everything you desire. He saves you from trouble. He saves you not according to your knowledge and your strength but according to, “the saving strength of His right hand.” What this says is that God will save you with the same strength that He used to save Jesus. Hallelujah. Now after this declaration of how God saves you the scripture gives you a reminder of the type of “God centered” approach each believer should possess.
“Some trust in Chariots, and some in horses, but we will remember the name of the Lord”.
Even when He blesses you with the things and gives you favor you must remember, it is not the things that are the blessings but it is He who Blesses that you crave.
Your new situation is so good that you do not even remember the old problems.
You shall not even hear crying or weeping, only joy. Your new ideas will not die. What you build on this earth you shall inhabit and no one shall take it away from you. You will enjoy all of your fruit. No more mean people coming in and destroying you. People can’t hold you down or put you out. They do not have the power to take what is rightfully yours.
Your new ideas will not die.
There are several themes that God mentions over and over again. One is what you build no man shall take. They cannot take your houses, they cannot take your business, and they will not inhabit what you build. Only you and your children shall eat the fruit of your labor.
In Psalm 20 the Lord hears you in trouble but in Isaiah 65 v 24 the scripture gives a stronger more intense relationship with the Father. God knows before you even call, He will answer. And while you are yet speaking He hears you. What a glorious life to live in the Kingdom of God. One explanation of the Kingdom of God is: The place of constant communication with the throne of God. Stop worrying and starting praying to live in the place of full blessing and favor. Joy and answers are your reward.
17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
18 But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.
19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.
20 There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed.
21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.
22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.
23 They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the Lord, and their offspring with them.
24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent’s meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the Lord.
Your Kingdom Shall be Abundant

Patience notices opportunity not dissapointment
by
Opportunity comes in many forms. After a disappointing event it is the Spirit of Patience that carries you into the next chapter. Patience gets excited for the opportunity to learn and capitalizes on the wisdom from recent adventures. The alternative is to allow fear and doubt to creep in and belittle any progress that you made. Patience deals with problems from the place of victory. You are Victorious (Channeling the Donnie Mcclercan song). You have the victory, so it is up to you to walk it out.
Disappointment is an emotion while patience is an emotion trainer. What can disappointment produce that will propel you forward? Patience makes you think about what you are feeling. Then you can develop or formulate your response. If you only respond in your prescribed fashion. Disappointment can not get hold of you. Look for the opportunity to succeed when the world sees disappointment.
It’s time!!!
If you look for an opportunity to train yourself, your staff or your children instead of seeing disappointment then “No weapon formed against you shall prosper”. Trails and the temptation to negatively react will happen and that’s when your patience will aide you most. The more personal the event the more difficult it is to apply patience. But know that God is in control and you will not even consider being irrational. Make small steps to look for opportunities and disappointment will soon fade away.
