So many grow weary in waiting on the Lord.  Prayer to them, seems futile.  The following scriptures prove the importance of patience in following Christ.  He tests the heart, to prove the worthiness of his ‘followers’.

Book of JOHN Chapter 14  verses 1-4

1)“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Have faith in God and faith in me.”

2)In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places; otherwise, how could I have told you that I was going to prepare a place for you?

3)I am indeed going to prepare a place for you, and then I shall come back to take you with me, that where I am you also may be.

4)You know the way that leads where I go.”

Matthew Chapter 13 verses 13-19″I use parables when I speak to them because they look but do not see, they listen but do not hear or understand. 14)Isaiah’s prophecy is fulfilled in them which says: ‘Listen as you will, you shall not understand, look intently as you will, you shall not see. 15)Sluggish indeed is this people’s heart. They have scarcely heard with their ears, they have firmly closed their eyes; otherwise they might see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and turn back to me, and I should heal them.’ 16)”But blest are your eyes because they see and blest are your ears because they hear. 17)I assure you many a saint longed to see what you see but did not see it, to hear it but did not hear it. 18)Mark well, the, the parable of the sower. 19)The seed along the path is the man who hears the message about God’s reign without understanding it.  The Evil one approaches him to steal away what was sown in his mind.”

The Narrow Door: LUKE Chapter 13 verses 23-27

23)Someone asked him,Lord, are they few in number who are to be saved?”24)He replied: “Try to come through the narrow door. Many, I tell you will try to enter and be unable. 25)When once the master of the house has risen to lock the door and you stand outside knocking and saying,’Sir, open for us,’ He will say in reply,’I do not know where your come from.’ 26)Then you will begin to say,’We ate and drank in your company. You taught in our streets.’27 But he will answer, ‘I tell you I do not know where you come from. Away from me you evildoers!’
