EPISODE 141: PATIENCE (Be Fruitful, Part 2)

We have all laughed at some point either at ourselves or at others for praying for patience. Why in the world would we do that? Praying for Patience is like asking God to bring fire down upon you; can I get an amen? However, patience is without a doubt very important to God as he names is a Fruit of the Holy Spirit. So then, how do we perfect this part of our faith? How do we grow and nurture this fruit?1. Pray that God would change you. Ask my Spirit within you to order your day and control your thoughts, for the mind controlled by the Spirit is Life and Peace. (Jesus Calling)
2. Practice Pause. Practice Pause: Pause before judging. Pause before assuming. Pause before accusing. Pause whenever you're about to act harshly and you'll avoid doing and saying things you'll later regret. Lori Deschene
3. Prepare your mind. Phil 4:8-9 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me-put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
Makrothumia, which is used in Galatians 5:22, is a compound formed by makros ("long") and thumos ("passion" or "temper"). "Patience" in Galatians 5:22 literally means "long temper," in the sense of "the ability to hold one's temper for a long time." The KJV translates it "longsuffering." In other words you can suffer and endure much without complaining.
