EVIDENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Patience

a) We have often heard it said that you should never pray for patience because when you do, the Lord is sure to give you something to try your patience. Patience is a word and a concept that is used a lot in the Bible. 

b) An Old English word for patience is “longsuffering”.  Some other synonyms for patience or patient are: tolerance, forbearance and resignation.

Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.
