- 0:03Speaker 1: one to them. But the world preached did not profit
- 0:06Speaker 1: them because their fait did not feed on the world.
- 0:09Speaker 1: The Word of God is the life support of our feet.
- 0:13Speaker 2: Relieve by the world of God.
- 0:16Speaker 1: God compet blessed be God for eternity and it hanit James,
- 0:25Speaker 1: Chapter one, reading from verse two, My brethren counted all
- 0:30Speaker 1: joy when you fall into diverse temptations, knowing this that
- 0:34Speaker 1: the trying of your faith work patience both.
- 0:39Speaker 3: Let patients have her perfect work.
- 0:42Speaker 1: Let patients have her work perfect work, that ye may
- 0:47Speaker 1: be perfect, and the entire wanting nothing. Welcome to Faith
- 0:52Speaker 1: Fit podcast, Episode one hundred and forty seven. The perfect
- 0:57Speaker 1: work of patience, the effect work of patience. The life
- 1:04Speaker 1: of every man revolves around his heart. The issues of
- 1:09Speaker 1: life comes out of the heart. That is why faith
- 1:14Speaker 1: is a matter of the heart. Faith is a matter
- 1:18Speaker 1: of the art, not the matter of the head. Faith
- 1:20Speaker 1: is not of the head of a man. So when
- 1:23Speaker 1: a man's faith is trialed indirectly, his heart is being tested.
- 1:28Speaker 1: And one of the functionalities of this test is to
- 1:32Speaker 1: make sure.
- 1:33Speaker 3: That there is a work of patience.
- 1:36Speaker 1: Is to make sure that a man has the spirit
- 1:40Speaker 1: of patience. In other words, faith recognizes and works with
- 1:45Speaker 1: the spirit of patience.
- 1:47Speaker 3: Many people don't know this.
- 1:48Speaker 1: That is why they don't allow patients have a perfect
- 1:51Speaker 1: work in their lives. Proverbs nineteen verse two also that
- 1:56Speaker 1: the soul be without knowledge, it is not good. I
- 2:01Speaker 1: follow him, It says, it is not a good thing
- 2:04Speaker 1: for the soul to build a knowledge. And that is
- 2:06Speaker 1: that and he that hasted, and he that hasted with
- 2:10Speaker 1: is fit seen it that is that man would definitely
- 2:13Speaker 1: enter into fall into sin.
- 2:15Speaker 3: So watch this.
- 2:16Speaker 1: The reason why knowledge is vital to the soul is
- 2:21Speaker 1: so that a man will not be hasty, will not
- 2:23Speaker 1: be impatient having faith. Getting faith is good, but having
- 2:27Speaker 1: wisdom is important. It is this wisdom that ensures that
- 2:31Speaker 1: a man is not reacting out of the spirit of impatience.
- 2:34Speaker 1: There is a wisdom that feeds this knowledge. There is
- 2:37Speaker 1: a wisdom that must feed on a knowledge, in this case,
- 2:41Speaker 1: the knowledge of God.
- 2:42Speaker 3: Now, now, James tells us the.
- 2:44Speaker 1: Same heart that we use that the trying of our
- 2:47Speaker 1: faith comes, that you know bring out the issues of life.
- 2:51Speaker 3: It says the same heart.
- 2:52Speaker 1: We should use the same heart to ask God for
- 2:55Speaker 1: what wisdom In the next dace, let's read it to James,
- 2:58Speaker 1: Chapa want the Bible say.
- 3:00Speaker 3: After he says let patients have a perfect work, he
- 3:01Speaker 3: says in the next.
- 3:02Speaker 1: Verse, if any of you lack luck wisdom, let him
- 3:07Speaker 1: acts of God that give it.
- 3:08Speaker 3: To all men liberals.
- 3:09Speaker 1: So God is willing to give a man the wisdom
- 3:13Speaker 1: for the knowledge that he has received, he says, and
- 3:16Speaker 1: he shall be giving him, and she shall be giving
- 3:18Speaker 1: on him.
- 3:19Speaker 3: But let him act in faith, but let him ask
- 3:22Speaker 3: in fa is that same thing?
- 3:23Speaker 1: So that is why I began by letting us know
- 3:26Speaker 1: that a man's life revolves around his heart.
- 3:30Speaker 3: The issues of life proceeds out of his heart.
- 3:33Speaker 1: What this episode is trying to bring out is that
- 3:36Speaker 1: the problem is not the issues of life, it is
- 3:40Speaker 1: the wisdom, the lack of wisdom. A man has a
- 3:44Speaker 1: two but does not know how to use it. This
- 3:47Speaker 1: is what the work of patience will do in a
- 3:50Speaker 1: man's life. Three important things that was mentioned and will
- 3:53Speaker 1: start with the first James chapter one, he says, what's for,
- 3:57Speaker 1: but let patients have a perfect work that year. Now
- 4:00Speaker 1: see see what the work of patience does that Yeah,
- 4:03Speaker 1: may be perfect number one, perfect number two, entire number
- 4:07Speaker 1: three want wanting nothing perfect. That is what I call
- 4:11Speaker 1: skillful maturity, groot groat. The second entire whole hold fool, pure, clean,
- 4:18Speaker 1: holy number three delightful in the world. So the first
- 4:22Speaker 1: one is perfect, skillful in the world, the second is
- 4:25Speaker 1: entire hole fool by the world, and the third is
- 4:28Speaker 1: wanting nothing, which is delightful in the world of God.
- 4:32Speaker 1: Now let's look into them. Hebrews, Chapter five, verse thirteen.
- 4:36Speaker 1: It says for everyone that us that milk is on skillful,
- 4:41Speaker 1: is on skillful in the world of righteousness for his
- 4:45Speaker 1: abeb but strong meats belonging to them now full age.
- 4:49Speaker 1: Now mark that world, because that's what for it to
- 4:52Speaker 1: talk about being skillful, He's talking about a system of maturity,
- 4:56Speaker 1: of growth, of understanding, because this is where they reason,
- 5:00Speaker 1: which is what the wisdom will help you to be
- 5:02Speaker 1: able for patients to have its perfect work. How does
- 5:05Speaker 1: being skillful lead to perfection? The Bible says the same
- 5:08Speaker 1: people that we should leave living the basic principles of
- 5:11Speaker 1: the doctors of Christ, let us move on to perfection perfection.
- 5:15Speaker 1: So it is the process of being matured, being skillful
- 5:20Speaker 1: with the world of righteousness that makes you work in
- 5:24Speaker 1: what that perfection leave the basic principle.
- 5:26Speaker 3: That's the milk that he Brews was talking about.
- 5:29Speaker 1: We have talked about perfect Now the second one is entire, entire,
- 5:33Speaker 1: I call it hold food, and it is the process
- 5:36Speaker 1: of purification. I remember the Bible saying in firstpital that
- 5:39Speaker 1: what we should obey the truth. We should purify our
- 5:44Speaker 1: soul by obeying the truth. What's the truth the world
- 5:47Speaker 1: of God? The Sami also tells us in someone like that,
- 5:50Speaker 1: where initially man cleans his ways by taking he according
- 5:55Speaker 1: to that world where initially man.
- 5:56Speaker 3: Cleans, cleans cleans.
- 5:59Speaker 1: So until a man lends towards take heed, it will
- 6:04Speaker 1: be difficult toward behold. This is what delivers a man
- 6:08Speaker 1: from mental assent, especially a believer, because that place of
- 6:13Speaker 1: head fit, that place of agreeing with the mind that
- 6:16Speaker 1: the world is true, but not being able to apply
- 6:19Speaker 1: it is.
- 6:20Speaker 3: Where wisdom is what needed.
- 6:24Speaker 1: What I mean is there are people who agree to
- 6:26Speaker 1: the world, they agree to it mentally, but they can
- 6:30Speaker 1: never they don't have the power the spirit to what
- 6:34Speaker 1: applied in their life. Mental assent. Now, what's the third one?
- 6:38Speaker 1: Wanting nothing for the Lord is my shepherd. I shall
- 6:42Speaker 1: not want, I shall not want. And that's say says,
- 6:46Speaker 1: I have all that I need, so I don't need
- 6:48Speaker 1: to bother. So that entire one that's wanting nothing is
- 6:52Speaker 1: a function of understanding first that the Lord is the
- 6:55Speaker 1: portion of your inheritance some system. When you understand that
- 6:58Speaker 1: the Lord is a portion of your inherit, then you
- 7:00Speaker 1: know that your lot is being maintained, and the rod
- 7:02Speaker 1: of the wicked will not rest upon your lot. All
- 7:04Speaker 1: the negative things that happens in this society will not
- 7:06Speaker 1: rest upon you, but it has It first comes.
- 7:08Speaker 3: With the Lord being your shepherd.
- 7:09Speaker 1: And that is you recognizing that the Lord, the Bible
- 7:11Speaker 1: tellesn't says some thirty seven, delight yourself.
- 7:14Speaker 3: So this thod one is what I call delightful.
- 7:17Speaker 1: This one thing nothing is what delighting yourself in the Lord.
- 7:22Speaker 1: The Bible tells us in some thirty seven that what
- 7:25Speaker 1: we should delight ourself in the Lord, and he will
- 7:28Speaker 1: bring our desires to pass. That is that greener pasture
- 7:33Speaker 1: he leeded me. Decide, He will lead you. It will
- 7:35Speaker 1: give you all that you need. You don't need to
- 7:37Speaker 1: just delight yourself in your shepherd.
- 7:40Speaker 3: Delight.
- 7:40Speaker 1: That delighting is a function of understanding who your inheritance,
- 7:44Speaker 1: where your treasure is, where your heart will be. So
- 7:47Speaker 1: once these three things are accomplished, then you know that
- 7:49Speaker 1: Patience has had her perfect work.
- 7:52Speaker 3: This is what that we is done.
- 7:54Speaker 1: We do for you when you acts of it with
- 7:57Speaker 1: the same path that you have used to be stead
- 7:59Speaker 1: first in what that situation or that circumstance that you
- 8:03Speaker 1: find yourself in life. Patience is important too, but you
- 8:07Speaker 1: most know how to be patient before Patience can find
- 8:10Speaker 1: his perfect the Bible, some mistells us in some wanted
- 8:13Speaker 1: in that word, there is forgiveness with God that he
- 8:15Speaker 1: may be loved. He now says that I wait for
- 8:18Speaker 1: the Lord. That's patience. I wait for the Lord then,
- 8:20Speaker 1: and I say how do I wait? And I say,
- 8:22Speaker 1: my soul those wait for him? Then how does my
- 8:25Speaker 1: soul now wait? Eno says in his world? Can you
- 8:28Speaker 1: see the summary of all in context all I've been
- 8:31Speaker 1: saying in his world? Do I hope now to reaffirend
- 8:34Speaker 1: this in the next days? He nounces, my soul indeed
- 8:38Speaker 1: waited for the Lord more than day.
- 8:39Speaker 3: That works for the money. He says it twice.
- 8:41Speaker 1: That's affirming the fact that the process of waiting is
- 8:44Speaker 1: important towards gaining the spirit of patience. In every endvil
- 8:49Speaker 1: that you find yourself, I remain the faith campaigner of Christ. Remember,

- 8:58Speaker 1: angels of your work has to be dead. The Lord
