Part IX
General Outline of
verses used in audio sermon
Are you tired
of the persecutions, rejections, arguments, the 'hate' you receive ...
and all you are trying to do is live to serve and please God by following
Paul's 'ways' and making those changes in your life - or at least trying...
- as the Scriptures tell us to do?
Maybe we have been sincere in
our trying to do Paul's ways
but NOT IN HIS 'MANNER' OF DOING
THOSE WAYS?
Let's consider these things as we
learn to live Paul's ways - the ways taught to us by the Risen Saviour.
Without considering these things listed below, we may be doing more damage
to our 'listeners' than we realize.
For
meat destroy not the work of God.
All
things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.
Romans
14:20

Patience
Having patience
is important in the Gospels and in the Tribulation, however, it is not
mentioned during the Great Commission nor is it even mentioned in the Old
Testament, even though it was exhibited - James
5:10 - Take, my brethren, the prophets,
who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction,
and of patience.
Gospels
Asking the
Lord to have patience on them!
-
Matthew 18:26
- The servant therefore fell down, and
worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee
all.
-
Matthew 18:29
- And his fellowservant fell down at his
feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee
all.
Patience brought
forth fruit...
-
Luke 8:15 -
But that on the good ground are they, which
in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring
forth fruit with patience.
Patience was
important enough that without it, they could lose their soul over it!
-
Luke 21:19
- In your patience possess ye your souls.
Tribulation
No patience?
No Inheritance!
-
Hebrews 6:12
- That ye be not slothful, but followers
of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
No patience?
No receiving of the promise!
-
Hebrews 10:36
- For ye have need of patience, that, after
ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
Because of
being 'watched,' lay aside the 'big' sin you have and have patience!
-
Hebrews 12:1
-
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed
about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight,
and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience
the race that is set before us,
-
You still do not
have victory over sin? See verse
4. Ye
have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
Chastening from the Lord is what follows! This is where
some get the man-made doctrine of pleading the blood! Has it worked
for you? Come on, ask yourself honestly! Go back and look to
Paul again and see what it takes to get some victories in your life over
doing wrong... but sin has been taken care of!
Tribulation
worketh patience, today!
-
James 1:3 -
Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
The importance
of patience then!
-
James 1:4 -
But let patience have her perfect work,
that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
Until the coming
of the Lord... again, this isn't to us today!
-
James 5:7 -
Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the
coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit
of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early
and latter rain.
It was &
will be all about enduring unto the end! Jewish illustration - OT.
-
James 5:10,11
-
Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have
spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction,
and of patience. Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard
of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord
is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
Temperance
is added to patience... again, different than Paul's writings!
-
II Peter 1:6
- And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance
patience; and to patience godliness;
Part of the
testimony of Jesus Christ!
-
Revelation
1:9 - I John, who also am your brother,
and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus
Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and
for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
We see that
patience still had to do with Paul's doctrine. It is a factor during
the time of the Gentiles.

-
Revelation
2:2,3 - I know thy works, and thy labour,
and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and

sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.

3:10 - Because thou hast kept the word
of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which
shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
-
Their doctrine
comes from Paul - Patience!
-
It should be part
of our testimony today! It keeps us from fainting - giving up.
-
But it has nothing
to do with enduring until the end.
Will be part
of their salvation!
-

13:10 - He that leadeth into captivity
shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed
with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
-

14:12 - Here is the patience of the saints:
here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

The entire
King James Bible is written FOR us, but it is not all written TO us!
We learn
from the "For" and we learn to apply the 'TO!"
These writings
of Paul are directly from the Risen Saviour to Paul...
...and
then to us through the King James Bible by the Holy Ghost!
