Samuel Dale
HEBREWS 6:13
13 For when God made promise to Abraham,
because he could swear by no greater, he sware by
himself,
HEBREWS 6:14
14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee,
and multiplying I will multiply thee.
HEBREWS 6:15
15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he
obtained the promise.
PSALMS 105:17
17 He sent a man before them, [even] Joseph,
[who] was sold for a servant:
PSALMS 105:18
18 Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was
laid in iron:
PSALMS 105:19
19 Until the time that his word came: the word
of the LORD tried him.
PSALMS 105:20
20 The king sent and loosed him; [even] the
ruler of the people, and let him go free.
PSALMS 105:21
21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of
all his substance:
PSALMS 105:22
22 To bind his princes at his pleasure; and
teach his senators wisdom.

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.

THE EULOGY AND THE PROMISE
Revelation 3:10, "Because thou has kept the word of My patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of
temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon
the earth."
What does He mean by the
"word of His patience?" Hebrews 6:13-15. "For when God made
promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no greater, He sware by Himself, saying, Surely blessing I will bless
thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. And so, after he had patiently
endured, he obtained the promise." You see the Spirit is speaking about
the Word of God which is given to us. To wait for the fulfillment of that Word
required patience even as it did in the case of Abraham. He endured as seeing
Him Who is invisible. He was patient and then the Word finally was fulfilled.
This is the way God teaches His people patience. Why, if He fulfilled His Word in physical
manifestations the very instant you prayed, you would never learn patience, but
would become even more impatient with life. Let me show you this
truth even more fully set forth. Hebrews 11:17, "By faith Abraham, when he
was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises (the Word of
God) offered up his only begotten son." There it is: Abraham was tried
AFTER he received the Word of Promise. Most think that as soon as we pray in
Jesus' Name over the good promises of God that there could not be a trial. But
here it says that Abraham was tried after he received the promise. That is
exactly correct according to the Psalmist referring to Joseph, 105:19,
"Until the time that his word came: the Word of the Lord tried him."
God gives us exceeding great and precious promises. He has promised to fulfill
them. He will. But from the time we pray until
the time we get the answer we must learn to receive patience into our souls for
only in patience do we possess life. May God help us to learn this lesson even
as we know the people of this sixth age learned patience.
We read the history of the lives of these great Christians; what a
contrast we see between their lives and ours for they were so patient and
quiet, and today we are all but overcome in over-impatience and haste.
