Developing Patience | Timeless Truths - Dr. Charles Stanley

- Опубліковано 29 жов 2021
- Patience is one of those qualities we all need in our lives, but we’re not born with it. We have to cultivate it over time.
In this message, Dr. Stanley tells us how to develop patience so we can make wise, profitable decisions, build strong, lasting, loving relationships, enjoy the favor of God, and be happy with ourselves.
Take inventory of your life. How would you answer these questions?
- Where are you in your ability to be patient in difficult, trying times?
- How do you react when you find yourself being impatient?
- What feelings do you experience when you’re impatient?
- What negative consequences have you experienced in the past when you’ve been impatient?
- What beliefs do you have that block your ability to be patient?
- What new beliefs would help you gain a sense of patience with others?
- What behavior needs to change in order for you to be more patient?
You can’t just pray for patience. It’s a fruit of the Spirit that takes time, energy, and effort to develop, and it grows as a result of your faith and perseverance through hardships. At the center of it is a belief that God is in absolute control of your life. Will you trust Him to turn your difficulties into opportunities to develop patience?
This sermon is the fourth in the series The Power of Patience, which includes:
1. The Powerful Attribute of Patience
2. The Consequences of Impatience
3. Expressing Patience
4. Developing Patience
5. The Rewards of Patience
6. The Patience of God

Being a Christian isn't being perfect. It's about the change of direction of one's path. Many walk in the path of death but when Christ enters into our lives, we start walking towards life. You don't change instantly but you start healing slowly but surely.
The way he says “listen” or “look at this” quickly is so cool. It just perks my ears up even though I’m already watching.
Agree 👍
Or when he says “now watch this carefully” 😊💜
Grrrrr!
@@esmeraldagarcia2848 grrrr!
Yessir...you nailed it. I have the same response.
Wow, when you inherit the Holy Spirit… you have more work to do. Responsibility to keep the “oil” pumps working! Love, Patience, Self Control, and Forgiveness. 🤍 🕊️ ✨
“For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.”Rom 8:18

Now I literally just realize what GOD did while Ive been fighting this struggle in my life. GOD, changed my heart. HE made it into a patient heart. How amazing! Thank you, GOD!!! 🙏🙏🙏
I'll be patiently waiting for all my prayers to be answered, GOD. 🙏 I'll be patiently waiting for that stable source of income! I'll be patiently waiting for my future man! 🙏❤️
You're one of the best preachers I've ever listened too. Thank You!
I needed to hear this today, may The Lord truly bless Dr Stanley. He has and does help me amongst todays stress's.. Praise God 🙏
Same!!! I have many strengths but my God developing patience and God's timing is not easy
@Terrill Elliott May i ask , why do u feel that way? can i help you in any way by listening to what u have to say?
@@kizzyrock SO TRUE!!!! I'm like, *"LORD, life would go a lot easier on BOTH of us if You'd just answer my prayer quickly, so I don't have to keep asking and then griping about how long it's taking . Just get 'er done, as my boss would say"* We should all be thankful God has a sense of humor.
For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
Romans 10:10 NIV
My life is currently at a standstill and I pray for patience while being on God’s schedule. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
LORD, grant Salim the patience needed while YOU work out what needs to be done. I'm no champion in the patience department, and I thank you that you put up with quibbling because we don't see your schedule, but need to remember your timing is perfect.

“Now when Jesus had come down from the mountain, large crowds followed him. A man with a skin disease came, kneeled before him, and said, ‘Lord, if you want, you can make me clean.’ Jesus reached out his hand and touched him, saying, ‘I do want to. Become clean.’ Instantly his skin disease was cleansed.” - Matthew 8:1-3
The Good News: No one is beyond the grace of God.
Hanging in there father GOD.. 🙏❤️
Amen.
Just speaking about patience bc i need it on my job, fam, personal life, friends and where i live at in my crazy apartment complex smh.
I just love getting the message from Dr Stanley. Biiblical teaching with a kind convincing authority. Thank you Lord for this amazing pastor.
If you can’t say Amen, say Ouch!
God give me strength in the process of growing
Patience is a fruit of the Spirit, developed by G'd. If we yield, we are bound to become patient. That is what I believe and I've seen a change in me. I will be having surgery and so I need prayers to be patient in the process of healing, which from what hear will take months and the initial pain, will also take a while to subside. Generally, I have no patience when it comes to that but I am trusting Jesus to get me through, which will be a miracle, a modern day miracle for sure. I heard your message on TV this morning and it reminds me that the inner workings of being patient is His work. Otherwise since 1972, I am far more patient. Thank you in advance for your prayers.
Charlene, thank you for sharing your comment. I too struggle in this area of developing patience. As someone who battles chronic pain and has had health conditions slowly rob me of my physical abilities over the years as well as mobility and the same independence I used to have. I would like to offer you a bit of powerful information I have learned that has kept me from ending up bed ridden and bitter like many who are battling my same diagnoses.
1) Words are powerful! Speak the results you want over yourself and your life even on your worst of days when it seems impossible. God brought this entire world into existance by His words being spoken. Your words hold great power.
2) Concentrate on what you are able to do. Not what you can't do. If you can move any part of your body then do that, if you can sing, draw, think, speak, write, watch, tell, create, etc. Concentrate on all the things you can do.
3) Begin a gratitude journal. Wake up and thank God for making it a beautiful day. For allowing you the life you have to see the beautiful day He has made for you to enjoy. Thank Him in advance for your surgery going so well, for your healing going so well and your recovery going so well. For your strength and energy being restored better than it was before. Ask for what you need and want and thank Him for it after that and then keep a seperate prayer journal for all the prayers He has answered for you. Write in your gratitude journal all the little things and big things each day you are greatful for. This will create a change within you.
Also if you are stuck in bed and need an activity. I suggest diamond painting. You can order the kits on Amazon. There are all kinds of pictures available. They are very easy to do. They come in various sizes and shapes. They give you that sense of accomplishment you need. You can have music on or a movie on or have a conversation while working on it because you don't have to be hyperfocused whie you work on it. You can start and stop as you want. They are affordable and come with everything you need in the kit. Their great for all ages.

when you fall in love with someone, you trust that person with the personal, private parts of your life! The same thing will happen if you fall in love with Jesus; but that Trust is called Faith!♥️

All is well in Gods kingdom. It is I who must accept responsibility for myself with Gods graceful hand directing the path. Thank you Dr. Stanley and In Truth Ministries.
God is great. He is in full control of my life
I learned to be patient because if I don’t I have to go around the mountain again . Fasting gives me more patience .
Thanks to you Dr Charles may you live long in Jesus might name .🌹
That's true. Fasting isn't easy

I have to chuckle as Pastor Stanley's comments, griping to God about "Why's This happening to me?" or "Why did You allow That to happen?" Because that was my attitude just yesterday. I'm just glad I'm not the only impatient baffoon around. 🤣

Kinda sounds like, I have to tolerate anything, anyone says to me. Does to me? Always forgive, have patience with lesser intelligence. Also have tolerance and understanding with those that wanna talk slick, think they are smarter. Put people down, for past actions. Am I in a toxic relationship?? I love her so much!! But sometimes.... I renovated our whole home! Thinking let make her happy. Day or 2, back to the same behavior.
I love these Timeless Truths! Eagerly waiting for the next one. Wondering why there isn't a new one yet. I hope you'll keep on posting these classic sermons of Dr. Stanley from the past. 🙂
Amen 🦋💗
Jesus Christ loves you, so much that He died for you on the cross, to pay the penalty of your sins so that you wouldn't have to. We all have sinned and are deserving of God's wrath, but by the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross there is full pardon for whoever believes. Put your full trust and believe in Him for salvation today, because in Him there's eternal life and freedom. Who the Son sets free is free indeed 🙏🏻
Kindly consider accepting Him into your heart as your LORD and Saviour, it's the best decision you'll ever make 😊
(Romans 10:9-10 and Ephesians 2:8-9)
I really needed this message of patience today. This week my boss went off on me for not taking the vaccine 💉 I told him I’m not going to take it because I have faith in Jesus to protect me from illness. Well he REALLY let me have it! He called me stupid and selfish and swore at me several times, he even threatened to fire me. I stood firm and just told him that’s fine do what you will God will provide me with another job. I cried 😢 a little bit in the bathroom but quickly was made calm with the Lord’s peace and comfort. I will continue to focus on Jesus no matter what happens 🙏🏼💜🕊
Every I mean every Christian had taken the vaccine you can trust jesus but you should have taken it
Are you still in the job?
This was wonderful thank you guys so much. God bless
🙏🏽♾️☮️
🙏✝️❤️🇺🇸
👍👍😇
OUCH!!
Get Baptised in the Holy Spirit the way Jesus said you should be according to Acts 2, you’ll actually have the help of God, but you Baptists keep saying the Acts 2 baptism is of Satan, until you stop blaspheming the Holy Spirit he won’t help you.
Amen
Amen
