Faith and patience are inseparable in our walk by the Spirit of our Heavenly Father.
If you don’t have patience
then you will not operate out of a place of faith.
Let patience have her perfect work.
Patience is an under-girder, a supporter,
patience and perseverance are pillars.
it’s a support while we wait
Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. Wait psalm 27:14 & 25:3,21 Waiting in this context does not mean that we sit back fold our arms and do nothing. It is not an idle posture. We are to continue with ‘our Fathers’ business’ being a doer of His Word. But concerning the thing we are waiting on we must allow His plan to unfold and not on our timetable.
This is the test of faith in Him.
Impatient and faithless people won’t wait on Our Heavenly Fathers’ timing but push forward their agenda and plan by utilizing the worlds ways. Doing things in the same way non believers do is being part of the world and its systems. We are depending on the systems set in place by the prince of this world and not of our Heavenly Fathers ways. It speaks of not trusting Him to do it His way and in His timing and we know better. Because we are impatient we rebel and resemble a spoilt child and do it our own way with natural wisdom citing common sense.
James 3:15 says this This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic.
And it has its roots in the previous verse But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth.
Douay-Rheims Bible But if you have bitter zeal, and there be contentions in your hearts; glory not, and be not liars against the truth.
And the outworking evidence is in verse 16
Berean Study Bible For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every evil practice.
It is based in self and what self wants, not what God wants. He does not need our help to fulfill the plans He has for us and thinking we know better than God is self elevation above Him…we must guard against these actions as it leads from faith to foolishness and presumption and we will end up in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong people doing the wrong thing.
Didn’t Messiah speak of this in reply to Peter
when He said?
Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me; for you are not setting your mind on things of God, but on things of man.
But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offense unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. Mark 8:33.
Jesus/Yeshua warned us that offenses must come… it’s how we deal with those offenses, those stumbling blocks.
The Greek word is skandalon where our word scandal originates.
We are to set our minds on the things of
Adonai Eloheinu Melek HaOlam.
The Lord our God The king of the universe.
Avinu Makeinu – our Father, our King.
Definitions of
Faith: Believing what God has said and stepping out and acting on it
Foolishness: To lack good sense or judgment; to act foolishly with stupidity
Presumption: Behavior that is perceived to be arrogant, disrespectful, and transgressing the limits of what is permitted or appropriate.
To many believers, an abundant life means peace, wealth/financial prosperity and physical happiness – This is presumption. They presume nothing will go wrong with their lives. Paul’s experience says differently..
We have been told and heard sermons and messages telling us: If everything works for our good, then just do your own thing because it’ll work out alright – this is foolishness. Those with this thinking and mind set/philosophy have not read the rest of the scripture verse.
Any action which is not done in obedience is a fall into sin, and any act of disobedience is rebellion.
For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. 1Samuel 15:23
Witchcraft always avoids obedience to His spirit of Holiness and by this it rejects the Lordship of Messiah.
This should make us examine our ways our decisions our attitudes and cause us to purge ourselves from the remnants of the old man and how we always conducted our lives… because
How does doing things the worlds way make us any different from heathen non believers?
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
Matt 7:9-11
If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? …Luke 11:11-13
Presumption and foolishness are two very big counterfeits to genuine Biblical faith. We must be on guard because the enemy wants to steal our faith by deceiving us with these counterfeits to real faith.
He wants to deceive believers into living by a presumptuous life. Numbers 14:39-45
Foolishness, and in most cases, it is Presumption.
Men and women who think themselves wise will often in their own conceit presume things that bring ruin. Presumption is born of pride.
Concerning our lives and our service to God, many religious leaders in their arrogance have presumed things about God which may or not be true. If they like something, they presume God likes it too.
King James Version. 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,
James 1:4-8 But let patience have her perfect work –
Let it be fairly developed;
let it produce its appropriate effects without being hindered.
Let it not be obstructed in its work on the soul by murmurings, complaining, or rebellion.
Those who implement worldly methods to achieve their goals may have success initially, but the end does not justify the means and there are consequences to all actions and decisions.
Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. Ps 27:14
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
is quoted in Romans 9:33
As it is written: “See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes men to stumble and a rock that makes them fall, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame.”
Matthew 21:42 Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?
Romans 10:11 New King James Version For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”
King James Bible For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
and
1Peter 2:6
Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
New King James Version Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion A chief cornerstone, elect, precious, And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.”
The last sentence of verse 16
he that believeth shall not make haste –
is often translated similar to the Greek rendering –
and the one who believes upon Him will not be put to shame.
The NIV version has the one who trusts will never be dismayed.
The Hebrew is stronger and deeper than that it means:
I believe with perfect faith in the coming of the Messiah, and, though he tarry, I will wait daily for his coming.
The 2 words translated:
not make haste or dismayed
are more difficult but refer to
something not done quickly.
In the 12th century Rabbi Ibn Ezra wrote
“He the faithful one will remain steadfast in his faith however long realization may be delayed.”
Each of us must understand that delay is not denial and that when the Lord has given us a vision for ministry, or other things, that the timing is His, not ours, and we need to hold strong in faith while He brings all things in His timing.
If we know a thing an outcome or answer then we do not need faith, we know!
This is how faith grows and is stretched like a muscle!
If we get ahead of His timing, the ministry, or whatever we are waiting on, becomes our ministry, not His. That ministry or whatever we are waiting on, may have financial success but will not have spiritual success. When He gives any of us the vision for a ministry there may be years of preparation before we are to begin.
What seems to be a delay may be something the Lord is doing in us, Paul wrote in
Phil. 4:11-13 Not that I am talking… 11 Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: 12 I know how to [a]be abased, and I know how to [b]abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13 I can do all things through [c]Christ who strengthens me.
Psalm 105:17-19 He sent a man ..
He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:
Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:
Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.
We are to keep fighting the fight of faith against the flesh.
This Psalm refers to the time Joseph spent in slavery and in prison. The word translated
purified
comes from a root which means
to refine, purify, test, or burn.
The time spent waiting for the Lords timing has a purpose, whether to purify the minister, or prepare other elements.
We need to be like Paul, content in the season of lack. The lack can be money as Paul wrote about it or it may be in ministry. Each of us has a ministry, with or without ordination, that is the ministry of reconciliation; pointing people who are lost in sin to a forgiving Savior Who can reunite them with their Heavenly Father.
2 Cor. 5:11-21
How can we do that?
We can because the scripture says freely we have received freely give. We are to share what we know, that which Messiah has done fro us, and that He is no respecter of persons.
It is important to be obedient, to wait contentedly, to keep the faith and grow spiritually while He works His will in us.
Have we prayed and prayed and waited and waited and still see no evidence of an answer?
Are we tired of seeing no movement are we at the point of giving up?
Then perhaps we haven’t waited in the right way?
The way which removes us from the right place, that is, the place where the Lord can meet us.
Wait for it patiently
Habakkuk 2:3 it will surely come.
Patience eliminates worry and anxiety which is based in fear.
Fear that what we want will not happen or come to pass for us in the way and time we want it.
This is the difference between total submission to the will of god and His plans for us and what we personally want God to do for us. There is no anxiety or worry if we accept His outcome and timing and trust His plan and purpose; for we only see in the short term and He sees the whole plan with everything and everybody involved.
Rom. 8:28.
Wait for it patiently – patience eliminates worry.
The Lord said He would come and His promise is equal to His presence. Without patience our trust is not faith. The patient waiting in a surrendered life is the evidence of faith that we trust that His plan is perfect. Patience undergirds faith, it supports like a pillar or girder the structure of our mindset; which should be conformed to His Word by having been renewed by it.
Fear, worry, doubt, anxiety, impatience are all outward evidence of no internal submission, which is characterized as a lack of faith. There is no real and lasting natural solution to a spiritual problem when the roots are out of harmony with the Lord of all creation.
It’s our faith that pleases our Heavenly Father. Hebrews 11:6
It’s impossible to please Him without it, and with patience we can wait on Him; and be that one, whose trust reveals our deep love for a Heavenly Father, Who will never fail or forsake us.
Shalom aleikhem
chaverim and mishpachah!
Peace to friends and family.
Shavua Tov, Have a blessed week.
Make certain Messiah Jesus/Yeshua is your Redeemer, Savior, Lord and soon returning King and that you have a personal relationship with Him.
It’s all about Life and Relationship, NOT Religion.
You are very precious in His sight.
Not sure ..you can be…
SIMPLY SAY THE FOLLOWING MEANING IT FROM YOUR HEART..don’t delay one more minute,
SAY IT RIGHT NOW…
Heavenly Father I come to you in the Name of Jesus/Yeshua asking for forgiveness of my sins for which I am truly sorry. I repent of them all and turn away from my past.
I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus/Yeshua is your Son and that He died on the cross at calvary to pay the price for my sin, so that I might be forgiven and have eternal life in the kingdom of Heaven. Father I believe that Jesus/Yeshua rose from the dead and I ask you to come into my life right now and be my personal Savior and Lord and I will worship you all the days of my life. Because your word is truth I say that I am now forgiven and born again and by faith I am washed clean with the blood of Jesus/Yeshua. Thank you that you have accepted me into your family in Jesus’/Yeshua’s name.
Luke 24:49 Tarry / Wait in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.
The disciples had to tarry to wait, staying in Jerusalem until the day of Pentecost/Shavuot. They knew it as, the days of Counting from the waving of the Omer; but this year was a little different as they counted the days and weeks they were also learning to count the cost of being disciples/talmidim of their Master. This was not only for their own preparations but because they had to wait until Messiah was actually glorified. As soon as He was glorified Acts 2:23 tells us what happened.
Therefore being exalted to the right hand of God and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit He poured out this which you now see and hear. Acts 2:33.
The statement in John 7:39
for the Holy Spirit was not yet given because Jesus was not yet glorified
does not apply to us.
The Fathers Holy Spirit has being given and Messiah Jesus Christ/Yeshua HaMashiach is glorified. And this is what we are to remember and celebrate with thanksgiving and grateful hearts at this Appointed Season of The Lord.
As we are waiting, the impartation is not dependent on the providence of God but on our own spiritual fitness, our readiness to receive.
We have a responsibility to prepare ourselves, these are things that our Heavenly Father will not do for us.
Relationship with Him is all about choice, free will and we must choose to be obedient and submit ourselves to His will and way of being and doing.
John 17:2-5 For You granted Him authority over all people, so that He may give eternal life to all those You have given Him And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. And now, Father, glorify Me in Your presence with the glory I had with You before the world existed.
This is eternal life and that we may know Him
and the power of His resurrection.
Phil 3:9-11
and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God on the basis of faith.
that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, and so that I may attain to the resurrection [that will raise me] from the dead.
Amplified Bible And this, so that I may know Him [experientially, becoming more thoroughly acquainted with Him, understanding the remarkable wonders of His Person more completely] and [in that same way experience] the power of His resurrection [which overflows and is active in believers], and [that I may share] the fellowship of His sufferings, by being continually conformed [inwardly into His likeness even] to His death [dying as He did];
The influence and power of His Spirit of Holiness were at work before Shavuot/Pentecost but He was not here in the same way as after the outpouring.
Once Messiah was glorified in His ascension, Holy Spirit came into the world and has been here ever since. It is up to us to receive the revealed truth that He is here.
The attitude of receiving and welcoming the Holy Spirit into our lives is to be the continual attitude of a believer and not just one day of obedience and fire…
When we receive His Spirit of Holiness we receive reviving life from our ascended Lord and Savior.
It is not what we term as the baptism of His Holy Spirit that changes believers but it’s the power of the risen and ascended Messiah coming into our lives through His Holy Spirit. We have a tendency to separate things that the New Testament never separates.
The baptism of His Holy Spirit is not experienced apart from Messiah Jesus/Yeshua, it’s the evidence of the ascended Messiah dwelling within, abiding permanently.
A big measure of Holy fire comes in the baptism.
Jesus answered, “If anyone [really] loves Me, he will keep My word (teaching); and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our dwelling place with him. John 14:23 Here the word IF is highighting the condition for the indwelling of His Spirit because One who does not [really] love Me does not keep My words. And the word (teaching) which you hear is not Mine, but is the Father’s who sent Me.
The baptism of His Holy Spirit doesn’t make us think of time or future eternity because the experience is one of amazing glorious now.
This is eternal life that they may know you. John 17:3
we must begin to know Him now and never stop.
Another reason for remembrance and celebration is that this season was when Moses received the Torah, the directions instructions and teachings for life after Egyptian bondage. Slavery to sin and death were given notice and their freedom was assured through Passover and then 50 days later (Pentecost/Shavuot) in the wilderness before Mt. Sinai the Lord.
Our Heavenly Father, The Lord God Almighty
came down,
Moses went up.
The precious Covenant with the children of Israel was made; complete with the Ten Commandments
and directions were given for how sinners were to
approach a Holy God through the sacrificial system
which was to remain in place
until Messiah came and fulfilled it Himself.
We have so much to be thankful for,
so much to give Him praise for.
All honor and glory go to Him as we lift grateful hearts this Pentecost/Shavuot;
and having prepared ourselves,
let’s open ourselves unreservedly to
receive the fullness of His Spirit.
We need His presence,
His Holy Fire
in our lives today, more than at any other time.
If we truly love Him, we will want to do what He asks of us
so we can become all that He has planned for us
to be and do while we are in the earth.
Our lives are to be a sacrifice in every way and this “sacrifice” becomes our wedding vow to our King.
And that is the real love story of Shavuot/Pentecost.
Above are several links to previous posts with more on Pentecost/Shavuot and the reason for reading about Ruth and the baptism of His Spirit at this time of year. Listed both for new visitors, or those wanting to refresh, understanding the deeper meaning of this wonderful manifestation of the same Holy Fire that led them in the wilderness, and now available to fill the lives of whosoever will…
The prophet Malachi 3:1-6 wrote that the Lord would send His messenger of the covenant, and asks who will be able to stand, to endure in that day, … He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
Let’s be mindful of the season we are in…..
on each of us and may the days of counting lead to a lifetime of beating good and lasting fruit!
May our tongues be set on fire to declare the wonderful works of our Heavenly Father.
Shalom aleikhem
chaverim/friends and mishpachah/family!

Faith needs to be tempered with patience and wisdom.
Both are acquired through knowing the Father and His Word, and by learning to listen to His spirit leading and guiding us to the correct action; and along the path inline with His will, plan, and purpose for us.
Sometimes our enthusiasm can misdirect His leading when we do not wait for Him, our knee jerk reactions reflect our ‘I can fix it..’ mentality, as we try to control a situation according to how we think it should be resolved.
We simply get in Gods’ way, thinking we know best and our flesh rises up fueled by emotions; and we try to force a solution minus our Fathers input tempered by wisdom. This commonsense kicks in, in opposition to the patient faith, whose hope is entirely in our Fathers’ ability to bring about the best outcome according to His thoughts and ways.
Our heart is right… motivated out of love and concern, yet it’s still rooted in carnal thinking and demonstrates a mistaken reliance on reason as the basis for truth.
The mind reasons and thinks, and if not renewed by the washing of the water of His word; it still reasons according to the unregenerate mind. The spirit does not reason, it simply submits, hears and obeys. Commonsense and faith are as different from one another as the natural life is from the spiritual; and as impulsiveness is from obedient inspiration.
The renewed mind connects to the Father and His realm based on faith/trust and spiritual discerning by His spiritual gifts within. Nothing Messiah ever said or did was commonsense
but it was revelation sense and complete ..
whereas, commonsense falls short because it is fleshly and relies almost always on human standards without His Spirit …
Faith however, must be tested and tried before it becomes real in our lives.
So that no matter what happens, the transforming power of Gods’ providence, transforms and blends perfect faith with reality. Faith always works in a personal way because our Fathers’ purpose is to see that His perfect faith is made real in His children. For every detail of commonsense in life, there is a truth God has revealed; by which we can prove in our practical experience what we believe God to be. Faith is a tremendously active principle that always puts Messiah first. We must come to the place where we are truly tired of trying to fix our own problems and those of others, in our own way and timeline…. it’s called impatience! and it will hinder our faith and Him moving on our behalf.
The life of faith says… Lord you have said it, your word declares it, and your spirit in me confirms it, to me it seems irrational but I’m going to step out boldly trusting your Word.
Matthew 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.
It’s always a fight to turn intellectual faith into our own personal possession. Our Heavenly Father both allows and brings us into circumstances in order to give us experience and to stretch our faith; because the very nature of faith is to make the object of our faith very real to us. We will always be qualified on our position and declaration, and on what we say and teach. Talking the talk means we must walk the walk, we are called to come up higher and be constantly seeing our life from His perspective because His ways are not ours.
Until we truly know Messiah Jesus/Yeshua, our Heavenly Father is merely a concept and we can’t have unshakable faith in Him. But once we hear Jesus/Yeshua in John 14:9 say: He who has seen me has seen the father; we immediately have something that is real and our faith in His ability to do… is limitless. Faith is the entire person in the right relationship with God, through the power of the Spirit of Messiah.
The one thing we must not only remember, but be totally in agreement with is 1 Corinthians 6:19..
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
This is not just a faith-filled scripture to quote now and again when we think it fits… It is a serious statement of the reality of a true believers position both spiritually and physically. We cannot say we are His and belong to Him and then live like it’s not true. There is no compromise when we are truly His very own. We cannot be divided, for then we are split in our faithfulness and our walk. If our walk and life are casual, then we will eventually become a casualty. He looks for whole-heartedness not followers by convenience, when it suits us or when we have a crisis.
For a person who is intimately aware of and shares in the fellowship of His sufferings, we should wake up to the fact that there is no such thing as a private life, nor is there a place in this world where we can run and hide. Even when many times that seems like a good idea!
Our so called, private life, is separated because our Father gives us freewill choices daily, making it a highway for the world on the one hand and for Himself on the other.
Choose this day and choose life.
We are exposed to the same elements of life as non believers; and we come to realize that no one can stand/survive that onslaught of ungodliness, unless we are identified with Messiah. The sanctification He offers us is not for ourselves alone. Things happen to us that seem to have nothing to do with us even when we are called into an intimate relationship with Himself. We must allow Him have His way with us, being willing and ready to stand still and see His deliverance, His salvation in our lives and situations.
All of us will stand before a Red/reed sea at some point in our journey, with seemingly no possible way forward.
BUT GOD…
will open a way where there seems to be no way in the natural. Our moment of faith and trust in His ability to perform a miracle, is when we stop and take our hands off the situation. If we refuse and still try to fix it in our own strength and way, we will be of no value to Him in His redemptive work; but instead be a hindrance and a stumbling block and rob Him of the glory, as people see human solutions and not divine intervention. People then look to people and not to God. He wants first to get us grounded on strong reality and truth, and He will continue to work until our selfish motives and our caring for ourselves as individuals, has been brought into submission; to His way of being and doing for the purpose of His redemption.
This can and so often does mean having our hearts broken and we ask why is this necessary?
Brokenhearted Definition & Meaning:
overcome by grief or despair.
Luke 4:18-21 (KJV) The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the
Messiah said about His Father,
“He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted” Luke 4:18 NKJV.
Jesus/Yeshua said that He came to “heal” the brokenhearted!
The word “heal” is the Greek word aphiesi, which means:
to set free
or
to loosen from the detrimental effects of a shattered life.
There are so many broken things that ONLY Messiah can heal!
The answer is another question,
why shouldn’t we experience a broken heart?
Could it be that it’s through these human experiences that our Father can open up the door to His Son, and the one relationship that will never lead to heartbreak?
In our humanity we falter and often wince and then collapse at the first stab of pain, and sitting down at the entrance of our Fathers’ purposed door, we slide into a slow demise dying through self pity and depression. Sadly all the sympathy heaped on us from so called Christians who are living carnal lives, just accelerates our downward spiraling journey to that deathbed.
But God will not be a part of that sympathy, He comes and takes hold of us with the nail pierced hands of His Messiah and lifts us up, calling us higher to rise and shine, to look up and not down for He has made us the head and not the tail.. Deut. 28:13
We are above and not beneath, our victory in Him is certain and we must know He always has the best for us and the hope for a glorious future. If our Father who loves us with an everlasting love, can accomplish His purposes in this life through circumstances that cause a broken heart/heartbreak then… why not … shouldn’t we be thanking Him for breaking ours?
Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[ a] have been called according to his purpose.
Not our purpose …His. We are Not our own we are bought with a price .. a price beyond our ability ever to repay… Family, friends, whatever the circumstances you find yourself in at this moment… stand still
and see Him
make the Way for you!
Exodus 14:13-14 And Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will accomplish for you today.
The Lord said
“stand still.”
We must repeat in faith what God has spoken in His word.
That is
stand still,
Stand Still,
STAND STILL,
and see the salvation of the Lord.
Be still and wait patiently for Him. Ps. 37:7.
This is what the Lord says—he who made a way through the sea, a path through the mighty waters. Isa. 43:16.
16 Thus saith the Lord, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters; KJV.
I am the LORD, who opened a way through the waters, making a dry path through the sea. I am the one who cut a path through the mighty ocean.
People sometimes think their situations and circumstances determine the quality of their lives; and because of this mindset, they pour all their energy in an effort to try and control them. Many feel happy only when things are going well and according to their plans; and feel sad and frustrated when things don not turn out as they wanted them to. Very rarely is this connection between feelings and circumstances ever questioned.
However it is possible to be content in any situation..all we have to do is put more energy and effort into trusting our Heavenly Father and have faith in His ability to bring all things in alignment to His plans and purposes.
We must try not to allow our physical circumstances be the dictator of our feelings and ultimate sense of well being. Instead, let His great and exceeding precious promises be the connection to His joy and in turn His strength within. Nothing can separate us from His love… Romans 8:38,39.
