James 5:1-11
When you see a patient person you've seen something rare. For it takes supernatural power to be patient. We live in a world obsessed with speed. We become angry if the video doesn't download immediately or the fast food lines take too long. And who likes waiting in a doctor's office, or waiting two minutes on an elevator, or staring about at the walls inside the DMV all afternoon? Yes, we love our speed.

When these traits are all present in your life, God says these are the traits that you've been supernaturally changed.
Today, I want to share with you the secret of patience and the secret of endurance. By a show of hands, are you by nature a patient person? If you were to assign a percentage ...
