#9 UNDERSTANDING LOVE: PATIENCE IS COMPLETE TRUST.
PATIENCE, TRUST AND FAITH KNOW THERE IS A WALL BETWEEN MY MIRACLE AND ME...
WE SHALL OVERCOME
By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr.
TEXT TO TRUST AND UNDERSTAND:
2 Chronicles 16:9 For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself
strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore
from henceforth thou shalt have wars.
PATIENT TRUST KNOWS: THIS OBSTACLE COULD BE A MIRACLE IN DISGUISE...
TODAY THERE IS A LACKING OF UNDERSTANDING THAT GOD HAS A PLAN AND WE MUST
BE PATIENT AND TRUST HIM COMPLETELY.
I read about this speed boat racer that had been in many boat races. In one race his speed combined
with hitting some large waves brought danger. The forces of the waves and his speed combined and it
threw his boat in a spinning action into the air. The force of the speed spinning the craft to the air---
the boat crashed with great force into the water.
For a few seconds the driver was unconscious and when he became aware he was buried in the water.
During the accident he lost all sense of direction to where the surface of the water was. He panicked and
started fighting. He calmed down and decided instead of trying to determine which way the surface of
the water was, he would ALLOW THE SAFETY VEST TO PULL HIM. The buoyancy of the LIFE VEST
slowly started pulling him upwards. Then he saw the light and started swimming to the surface.
Oftentimes we are drowning in the storms of the waters of pain, problems and trials. What do I do?
What is the right way to react to this situation? These problems could destroy us? This could be a
STUMBLING BLOCK? Or it could be a STEPPING STONE?
AT TIMES LIKE THESE WE MUST STAY VERY CALM AND WAIT ON THE DIRECTION OF
GOD'S PLAN. THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN LEAD, GUIDE, GUARD AND PROTECT US AND BRING
US TO REAL GROWTH AND NEW HOPE AND NEW LIFE. WE ARE NOT INDEPENDENT OF GOD.
WE ARE TO BE TOTALLY SUBMITTED TO DEPEND AND TRUST THAT GOD IS IN CONTROL
NO MATTER WHAT WE SEE OR HOW WE FEEL!
DO WE ACCEPT WE HAVE A COMMANDER IN CHIEF AND WE MUST SUBMIT?
WE UNDERSTAND WE MUST START AT THE BOTTOM AND THEN WE WORK OUR WAY UP
FROM THERE. TODAY MANY PEOPLE WANT TO START AT THE TOP.
JESUS ASK YOU: WILL YOU TRUST ME?
We have a COMMANDER, He is in charge... If we really trust, we must accept there is a GOD.
GOD is more than just a creator --- GOD IS THE AUTHORITY.
Matthew 6:30 (KJV) Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow
is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
Matthew 6:30 (MSG) "If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers—most of which are
never even seen—don't you think he'll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you?
IF YOU LISTEN TO THE TV-RADIO PREACHERS OF TODAY:
WE ORDER GOD WHAT TO DO AND WHEN TO DO IT...
IT IS LIKE ORDERING FROM ON LINE... God do this!
Will we WILLINGLY SUBMIT TO GOD AND HIS SEASONS...
YOU CAN NOT TRUST GOD WITHOUT PATIENTLY SUBMITTING AND TRUSTING HIM.
WE MUST BE PATIENT AND TRUST GOD'S PLAN ---
HE DOES NOT HAVE TO EXPLAIN WHAT HE IS DOING UNTIL WE CLEARLY UNDERSTAND
AND GIVE HIM OUR APPROVAL.
Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts
than your thoughts. 10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither,
but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread
to the eater: 11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but
it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. 12 For ye shall
go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into
singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
THERE ARE THREE KISSING COUSIONS YOU GET WHEN YOU MARRY INTO THE FAMILY OF
GOD. TO BE HONEST THE THREE WORK IN SYNERGISM --- IN A HEALTHY SITUATION ALL
THREE PULL TOGETHER.
1. FAITH, COMPLETE TRUST
2. HOPE, AGAINST HOPE
3. LOVE
TO BE COMPLETE WE MUST HAVE FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE AND THESE WILL BRING ABOUT
PATIENCE.
1 Corinthians 13:13 (KJV) And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of
these is charity.
1 Corinthians 13:13 (NIV) And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of
these is love.
1 Corinthians 13:13 (MSG) But for right now, until that completeness, we have three things to
do to lead us toward that consummation: Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingly, love
extravagantly. And the best of the three is love.
To maintain a healthy direction we must WALK IN GOD'S DIVINE WILL!
GOD'S WILL DEMANDS US TO BE PATIENT AND TRUST THE UNSEEN HANDS THAT HAS A
PLAN
BE MADE WHOLE, COMPLETE, ENTIRE...
TRUST AND PATIENCE KNOWS FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE MAY REQUIRE A WHOLE LOT OF
WAIT TO SEE THE FULLNESS OF GOD'S PLAN DEVELOP.
THIS PROBLEM CAN BE AN OPPORTUNITY OF GOD TO SHOW HIMSELF STRONG.
John 5:4-9 (KJV) For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water:
whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease
he had. 5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him,
Wilt thou be made whole? 7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is
troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.
8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. 9 And immediately the man was made whole,
and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
UNDERSTAND: WE CAN HANDLE THIS! THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT DEFINE ME...
FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE DEMANDS PATIENT WAITING WITH THE RIGHT ATTITUDES---
PATIENCE, HOPE AND TRUST WILL END IN AN UNFAILING LOVE.
WILL OUR PROBLEMS, TRIALS, PAIN, GLOOM, DESPAIR, DEPRESSION BRING US
TO AN HOPELESS DEAD END? WILL THIS BRING ME TO MY GRAVE?
OR CAN ALL THESE OBSTACLES BE A PATHWAY TO THE PLAN THAT GOD HAS FOR
US? THIS OBSTACLE IS A MIRACLE IN DISGUISE...
You have the ability to PATIENTLY WAIT and FIND A SOLUTION to this problem.
SOMEONE BROUGHT UP A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM OF THEIR FRIEND THAT WAS
BATTLING PALSY...
PATIENCE REQUIRED A PLAN... LET US TAKE HIM TO JESUS...
Mark 2:3 And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.
4 And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was:
and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.
5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.
WILL WE MAKE THE CHOICE TO FIND A METHOD OR WAY TO OVERCOME THESE
GIANTS THAT ARE MAKING FUN OF US...
WHEN THE FRIENDS ARMS WERE ACHING AND THEY CAME INTO VIEW THAT THEY COULD
NOT GET TO JESUS ---
DO WE HAVE THE ATTITUDE ---
FORGET IT --- IT WAS NOT A VERY GOOD IDEA?
COME ON, LET US GIVE UP AND GOOD HOME?
PATIENCE, TRUST AND FAITH SAY: THERE IS A WALL BETWEEN MY MIRACLE AND ME...
WE CAN DO LIKE JERICHO --- TEAR DOWN THE WALL?
NO GO THROUGH THE ROOF...
SOMEONE HAD THE PATIENCE TO SAY CALM DOWN, DON'T LET THE CIRCUMSTANCES
DEFINE OUR SOLUTION...
WE LOVE OUR FRIEND!
WE TRUST JESUS CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE...!
THE CONVENIENT WAY IS BLOCKED...
THE CONVENTIONAL DOOR MAY BE CLOSED---
CONCLUSION: I UNDERSTAND THE ROLE OF PATIENCE AND MY FAITH, HOPE, AND
LOVE SHALL MOTIVE ME TO BE CHALLENGED TO FIND THE SOLUTION AND WAIT
CALMLY --- WE SHALL ACCEPT THE FAITH CHALLENGE ---
THE PATIENT WAITING SHALL OVERCOME EVERY TRIAL, HINDERANCE, OBSTACLE
THAT SHALL GO BE US --- FOR WE UNDERSTAND THE PATIENT LOVE OF A BELIEVER
SHALL MAKE THIS OBSTACLE AND GREAT OPPORTUNITY...
IF DAILY CHRISTIAN LIVING WAS ALL SMOOTH, DOWNHILL SAILING---
WHY WOULD WE NEED FAITH...
2 Chronicles 16:9 For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself
strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore
from henceforth thou shalt have wars.
Abraham had the patient love to learn to wait on God.
Joseph learned patience is a virtue.
Daniel played the waiting game.
YOU WILL HAVE TO LEARN...
Isaiah 40:29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as
eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
