25-0509A_THE STATURE OF A PERFECT MAN PT-7 (PARTAKERS OF CHRIST'S DIVINE NATURE)
2Pe 1:1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:
2Pe 1:2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
2Pe 1:3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
2Pe 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
2Pe 1:5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
2Pe 1:6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
2Pe 1:7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
2Pe 1:8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2Pe 1:9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
2Pe 1:10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

*TEMPERANCE, HOW TO ANSWER IN KINDNESS
WHEN WRATH IS SPOKE TO YOU.
THE.STATURE.OF.A.PERFECT.MAN_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-18 SUNDAY_ 62-1014M
33-6 Yes, sir. See, add these things.
Add temperance to it. Oh... Temperance, how to answer
in kindness when wrath is spoke to you. Somebody say, "You bunch of
holy-rollers down there." Don't jump out and roll up your sleeves now. See?
Not that, but talk with godly love. Temperance,
kindness, is that the way you want to be?
When you're riled upon, rile not back. Let Him be
your Example.
When they said, "If Thou be the Son of God, turn these stones into
bread," He could've done it and show He was God;
but He had temperance. When they called Him Beelzebub, He said, "I forgive you for it." Is that right? They pulled handfuls of beard out of His face, and spit in
His face, and said, "Come down off the cross."
He said, "Father forgive them; they don't even know what they're doing."
*THERE'S WHERE THE CHURCH IS FAILING IN
ONE PLACE: OVERCOMING, OVERCOMING TEMPERANCE--TEMPER, OVERCOMING DIFFERENCE…
A.HIDDEN.LIFE.IN.CHRIST_ SAN.FERNANDO.CA THURSDAY_ 55-1110
E-47 There's where the church is failing in one place: overcoming, overcoming temperance--temper, overcoming
difference, overcoming church prejudice, overcoming hatred. Many people
tonight who shout and speak with tongues and run up-and-down the aisle, and
hate their neighbor. That has... Brother, you're lost yet. That's hard to say,
but that's the truth. Right. Overcome. You can only overcome when you...
You say, "I'm eating manna, glory to God." Yes,
but look what happens from one day to the other. You get the miss-meal cramps. Come on in where the manna's fresh all the time. Whether your
neighbor treats you right or not, you'll love him anyhow. That's right. Whether he agrees with you or not, you love him anyhow.
That's the way you got to do it. That's the hidden life. That's that
consecrated life. That's that life that the veils of the worlds... And you're shut off from the things of the world. You only
live in Christ. You see what I mean, church?
*SO THIS IS PATIENCE. NOW, THAT'S THE
NEXT THING THAT'S GOING TO BUILD THIS STATUE… GOD'S GOT REAL MATERIAL IN HIS
BUILDING.
THE.STATURE.OF.A.PERFECT.MAN_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-18 SUNDAY_ 62-1014M
35-4 Then after that, fourthly, you want to add patience to your faith. "If you got faith, it worketh patience," the Bible said. See? So this is patience. Now, that's the next thing that's going to build this statue. You know, God's got real material in His building. See how short we are, brethren? See, see? See why, where we're at? Yes, sir. See, we have glory; you have shouts, and things, because we got faith; but when we come down to these things here, God can't build us into that statue. See? He can't--He can't make us up to that kind of a place. We got all these other things we fall and slide off with it. See? He can't build His church.
*FIRST THING IS HAVE PATIENCE WITH GOD.
THE.STATURE.OF.A.PERFECT.MAN_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-18 SUNDAY_ 62-1014M
35-5 Patience with what? What kind of
patience? First thing is have patience with God. If
you've got real genuine faith, you'll have real genuine patience, because faith
worketh patience. When God says anything, you believe it. That's all. You got
patience. Say, "Well, I asked Him last night to heal me, and I'm
just as sick this morning." Oh my, what patience. God told Abraham, and
twenty-five years later there wasn't even one sign; he still believed it. He was patient with God.
Put Him always before you. Let Him be the next crossing thing. You can't cross Him, so just keep Him before you. "He said so, and I'm... It's going to happen." See? Keep Him before you. That's right.
*THEN
GOD TRIES YOUR PATIENCE.
THE.STATURE.OF.A.PERFECT.MAN_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-18 SUNDAY_ 62-1014M
35-6 Noah had patience. Yeah. Noah had real godly patience. God said, "I'm
going to destroy this world with rain," and Noah
preached a hundred and twenty years at it: plenty patience, not even a dew fell
from heaven. Wasn't nothing. Just as dusty as it ever was for a hundred
and twenty years, but he was patient.
Then God tries your patience. That's right. God tries them. After He told Noah... Now, He said, "Noah, I want you to go ahead and get
in the ark. I'm going to run the animals in there. And I--I want you to get in,
climb way upstairs now, so you can look out the top window. Now, I want you to
get in there. I want you to tell these people: 'Tomorrow, what I've been
preaching for a a hundred and twenty years is going to take place.' All
right, you go down there and tell them."
What was the first sign? Noah got in the ark: wasn't no rain.
*HE
HAD PATIENCE 'CAUSE HE HAD FAITH.
THE.STATURE.OF.A.PERFECT.MAN_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-18 SUNDAY_ 62-1014M
37-1 Noah waited; the fourth day passed:
no rain. It's all right; it's going to happen. I can hear Mrs. Noah come around
and say, "Dad, are you sure?"
"Don't talk like that." He had patience 'cause he had faith. Yes, sir. He had virtue. He had knowledge that God was right. He had temperance; he didn't fly loose and say, "Well, I don't know what it's all about. I lost all my popularity out there." No, no. "People don't care for me no more. I'll go out there and start all over new again." No, no. He had patience. God promised; God will do it. God will do it 'cause God said so.
*MOSES--HE HAD PATIENCE WITH GOD.
THE.STATURE.OF.A.PERFECT.MAN_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-18 SUNDAY_ 62-1014M
38-3 Moses--he had patience with God. Yes, sir. Said, "Moses, I've heard the cry of My people. I've seen their afflictions. I'm coming down to deliver them. I'm going to send you down." And the little contrast there between him and God, and God showed him His glory. He said, "Here I go." When he once seen the glory of God (You see?), he had faith.
*WHEN YOU'VE DONE EXACTLY WHAT HE SAYS
DO: SEEMS LIKE IT WENT WRONG, STAND STILL.
THE.STATURE.OF.A.PERFECT.MAN_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-18 SUNDAY_ 62-1014M
39-6 When you've done
exactly what He says do: seems like it went wrong, stand still. Be patient. Moses said, "You know
when I was laid on that foundation there was patience laid on there, so I'll just wait and see what God will do.
There the old serpents was, crawling around, blowing and
hissing at one another. First thing you know Moses' serpent went, "Gulp,
gulp, gulp," and gulped them all down. He had patience.
They that wait upon the Lord,
Shall renew their strength.
They shall mount up with wings like an eagle. (Is that right?
See? That's...)
They'll run and not be weary,
Walk and not faint...
See, just wait on the Lord. Have patience. See?
THE.STATURE.OF.A.PERFECT.MAN_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-18 SUNDAY_ 62-1014M
40-2 Yes, sir. Then Israel was going to be taken out. The great contests came and took... Moses waited. Then he got into the wilderness. It's only about three or four day's journey; it's only forty miles from where he crossed there, right across where they crossed again. But Moses in the wilderness waited forty years. Patience. Amen. That's right. He waited forty years. Oh, yes, sir.
*AND WE SHOULD HAVE PATIENCE WITH ONE ANOTHER TOO
THE.STATURE.OF.A.PERFECT.MAN_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-18 SUNDAY_ 62-1014M
40-3 And we should have patience with one another too. See? One time, we get--we get so much impatient with one anothers. We think we got to be like Moses. Moses had patience with the people. Look at--that's what caused them not to go over. See, if you're trying to do something... Like I've tried to get this message over to the Tabernacle, to see that each member of the Tabernacle becomes this. It's hard to do. I've tried to have patience; this is thirty-three years (See?), have patience. Women still bob their hair still just the same. But just have patience; just have patience, wait. Have to. If you ain't got it, don't try to build on to this down here. Have patience.
*PATIENCE WITH THE PEOPLE…
THE.STATURE.OF.A.PERFECT.MAN_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-18 SUNDAY_ 62-1014M
40-4 Even one time when
that rebellion bunch of people had such impatience they caused Moses to do
something that was wrong... But yet when it come to a show down, God got sick of their action.
He said, "Separate yourself, Moses. I'll kill the whole bunch of them and
start anew."
He throwed himself in the breach and said, "God,
don't do it." What? Patience with the people that
was rebelling against him.
I wonder if we could do that? If you can't, don't try to build on this, because it--it don't change, you know. That's the way the first one is vulcanized into this, and that's the way every one of them has to be vulcanized. If you don't, you don't come to that statue of the dwelling place of the living God. You haven't got patience, patience with one another.
*I BELIEVE HE'S WAITING LONG, BUT I
BELIEVE HIS PATIENCE IS GETTING THIN WITH US.
GOD.KEEPS.HIS.WORD.1_ PHOENIX.AZ WEDNESDAY_ 57-0306
E-11 Now, I believe this. I could be wrong; I'm just a man as you are. But I
believe the coming of the Lord is past due. I believe
the reason that God can't come, is on the condition of His Church. It's all separated, and broke up,
and everything that could be thought of is mixed into
it. It's got to come a time for an old fashion shaking down, settling
down for the Church of God.
Now, as we see this day, that was a perfect type then of
this today. First thing they had, they had the ark, a prophet, an Angel: the
Word, their prophet, their Angel, a sacred Light that followed them. And as
they came out of Egypt, after Moses finally... God
taken forty years to bring them into condition. And they were forty years
passed, because of their differences, and not recognizing.
GOD.KEEPS.HIS.WORD.1_ PHOENIX.AZ WEDNESDAY_ 57-0306
E-12 The Bible said that in the days of Noah, God was long-suffering. He wasn't willing that any should perish. And He said, "As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the coming of the Son of man." I believe the coming of the Lord is past due then. For He had to wait long in Noah's time. He had to wait long in bringing out Israel. I believe He's waiting long, but I believe His patience is getting thin with us.
*THAT WE MIGHT RUN THIS RACE WITH
PATIENCE THAT'S SET BEFORE US, LOOKING TO THE EXAMPLE, JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S SON.
LIFE.IS.THE.HEALER_ INDIANAPOLIS.IN TUESDAY_ 57-0611
E-21 All these little things that's
moving on now, these little wheels, mortal wheels that's turning, all come by the program
of God. That's right. So He knows how to take
care of them if you'll just let Him have them. If you keep them, you'll lose
them. If you give them to Him, you'll find them. That's right. But you be sure to give
it to Him and give all your mind and your thoughts to Him tonight, now, that He
can have the right of way in your heart. Dash aside, lay aside every sin,
that's unbelief, and the weight does so easily beset you, now, that we might
run this race with patience that's set before us, looking to the example, Jesus
Christ, God's Son.
