Herein Is The Patience Of The Saints - 12-28-14
I asked the Lord what He wanted to say to us for the years ahead of us in the harvest fields. The Lord spoke to me in the middle of the night, "Herein is the patience of the saints." So I got up and looked it up.....and the rest is the journey...

“Herein is the Patience of the Saints.”
The
Lord spoke to me in the middle of the night, and He said, “Herein is the
Patience of the Saints.” So I got up to go to my computer and looked up those
words that the Lord spoke...
Herein
is the Patience of the Saints:
Revelations 13:9 If
anyone is able to hear, let him listen: 10 Whoever leads into captivity will
himself go into captivity; if anyone slays with the sword, with the sword must
he be slain. Herein is [the call for] the patience and the faith and
fidelity of the saints (God’s people).
EXB: 10 If you are to be ·a prisoner [taken into captivity], then
you will ·be a prisoner [go into captivity]. If you are to be killed with the
sword, then you will be killed with the sword [Jer. 15:2; 43:11]. This means
that ·God’s holy people [the saints]
must have ·patience
[perseverance; endurance] and faith.
Revelations 14:12 Here [comes in a call
for] the steadfastness of the saints [the patience, the endurance of the people
of God], those who [habitually] keep God’s commandments and [their] faith in
Jesus. 13 Then I
heard further [perceiving the distinct words of] a voice from heaven, saying,
Write this: Blessed (happy, to be envied) are the dead from now on who die in
the Lord! Yes, blessed (happy, to be envied indeed), says the Spirit, [in] that
they may rest from their labors, for their works (deeds) do follow (attend,
accompany) them!

or into this place.
2. in this fact,
circumstance, etc.; in view of this.
The Two Simultaneous
End-Time Harvests have begun:
#1:
Revelations14:14 Again I looked, and behold, [I saw] a white cloud, and sitting on the cloud One resembling a Son of Man, with a crown of gold on His head and a sharp scythe (sickle) in His hand. 15 And another angel came out of the temple sanctuary, calling with a mighty voice to Him Who was sitting upon the cloud, Put in Your scythe and reap, for the hour has arrived to gather the harvest, for the earth’s crop is fully ripened. 16 So He Who was sitting upon the cloud swung His scythe (sickle) on the earth, and the earth’s crop was harvested.

#2:
Revelations 14:17 Then another angel came out of the temple [sanctuary] in heaven, and he also carried a sharp scythe (sickle). 18 And another angel came forth from the altar, [the angel] who has authority and power over fire, and he called with a loud cry to him who had the sharp scythe (sickle), Put forth your scythe and reap the fruitage of the vine of the earth, for its grapes are entirely ripe. 19 So the angel swung his scythe on the earth and stripped the grapes and gathered the vintage from the vines of the earth and cast it into the huge winepress of God’s indignation and wrath.

When
I opened my bible program, the opening verse of the day was:
Matthew
11:28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and
overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and
refresh your souls.]
The Rest of God: Our Strength and our
Position.
Hebrews 6:12 In order
that you may not grow disinterested and become [spiritual] sluggards,
but imitators, behaving as do those who through faith (by their leaning of the
entire personality on God in Christ in absolute trust and confidence in His
power, wisdom, and goodness) and by practice of patient endurance and
waiting are [now] inheriting the promises. AMP
James 1:3 Be assured and understand that the trial and proving of your faith bring out endurance and steadfastness and patience.
VOICE: 2-4 Don’t
run from tests and hardships, brothers and sisters. As difficult as they
are, you will ultimately find joy in them; if you embrace them, your faith
will blossom under pressure and teach you true patience as you endure. And
true patience brought on by endurance will equip you to complete the long
journey and cross the finish line—mature, complete, and wanting nothing.
2 Thessalonians 1:4 And
this is a cause of our mentioning you with pride among the churches
(assemblies) of God for your steadfastness (your unflinching endurance and patience) and your
firm faith in the midst of all
the persecutions and crushing
distresses and
afflictions under which you are holding up. AMP
Colossians
1:12 And you will joyfully give thanks [or …have patience with joy, giving thanks] to the Father who has made you
able to have a share in ·all that he has prepared for his people in the kingdom
of light [the inheritance of the saints/holy
ones in the light]. EXB
Ø VOICE: 12 Thank You, Father, as You have made us
eligible to receive our portion of the inheritance given to all those set apart
by the light.
Ø TM: 9-12 Be
assured that from the first day we heard of you, we haven’t stopped praying for
you, asking God to give you wise minds and spirits attuned to his will, and so
acquire a thorough understanding of the ways in which God works. We pray that
you’ll live well for the Master, making him proud of you as you work hard in
his orchard. As you learn more and more how God works, you will learn how to do
your work. We pray that you’ll have the strength to stick it out over
the long haul—not the grim strength of gritting your teeth but the glory-strength
God gives. It is strength that endures the unendurable and spills over into
joy, thanking the Father who makes us strong enough to take part in everything
bright and beautiful that he has for us.
Ephesians 1:8 Which He lavished upon us
in every kind of wisdom and understanding (practical insight and prudence), 9 Making known to us the
mystery (secret) of His will (of His plan, of His purpose). [And it is this:]
In accordance with His good pleasure (His merciful intention) which He had
previously purposed and set forth in [Him, 10 [He planned] for the
maturity of the times and the climax of the ages to unify all things and
head them up and consummate them in Christ, [both] things in heaven and
things on the earth. 11 In Him
we also were made [God’s] heritage (portion) and we obtained an
inheritance; for we had been foreordained (chosen and appointed beforehand) in
accordance with His purpose, Who works out everything in agreement with the
counsel and design of His [own] will,
