What Patience is not – hot temper, biting my tongue, complaining, passive aggressive.

What patience is – the longsuffering of God produced in me through the indwelling Holy Spirit.

How do I get patience? Not by establishing standards for my behavior, but by walking in the Spirit.

Experiencing the rivers of living water flowing out of my heart.

Real fruit vs. artificial fruit.

The longsuffering of God is for a limited time. His judgment is coming.

A message on patience or longsuffering – the fruit of the Spirit – from Galatians chapter 5. Preached to Galveston Bible Church by Allen Blake on June 24, 2018.
