Where does true wisdom come from?

 Not all the believers who have been schooled in the this world system, are really wise.  

Some just mimic what they heard from one they perceived to be wise. 

Our wisdom should come from knowing God personally and being filled with His word. 

Getting plenty of spiritual food so as to not be deceived by those who think they are wise.

If you know God's word you will discern any deception that comes along.

I love how Paul stated in 1 Corinthians about the wise.

1 Corinthians 1: 25-31

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

For you see your calling brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called.

But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame  the things which are mighty, and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in His presence.

But in Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God-and righteousness and sanctification and redemption, that as it is written, "He who glories, let him glory in the Lord."

Beloved, don't judge a book by its cover, there are believers who love Jesus with all their heart, and yet they appear as though they do not. 

Paul stated it plainly, so anyone could understand.

Not many were wise, not many were noble or mighty are called.

 We tend to see those people who don't dress like us, speak like us, or even act like we think Christians should act (only to become one of the actors) 

There are plenty of actors in the body of Christ, but there are also plenty of true followers of Jesus.

Beloved, love people and except them where they are and who they are in Jesus. 

You catch the fish, then you clean it, right?

Some have picked up habits from the world before they got saved.  

It takes time for the Holy Spirit to train and teach them certain things about the kingdom of God. They will learn and grow in the Lord.

But the important thing is, that they realize they are loved by God and the body of Christ.

Look how patient God was and is with us who are older in our faith now. He is not finished with us yet.

I have a sign on my frig that says 

"Be patient with me, God is not finished with me yet"


When I read it, it reminds me the same is true with all of us who claim to follow Jesus Christ our Lord.

Philippians 1:6

being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.

Beloved, be patient with those that are different than you, be gentle and loving, then they will see Jesus in you and then they will want what you have. Peace, mercy and compassion.

God bless your day

Jesus loves you

love in Jesus

DOES IT MATTER WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL, AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED?

 G O S P E L= GOD'S OWN SON PROVIDED ETERNAL LIFE. This is the true gospel,  the good news!! What are we to conclude about this matter? Paul makes it clear, that whoever preaches Christ and the gospel, it doesn't matter, as long as the Gospel gets preached. Philippians 1:15-16 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill.  The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains, but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in everyway, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. Beloved, there are all kinds of preachers out there, but their motives are not our business. Those that are preaching for all the wrong reasons, could later repent, and start preaching for the right reasons.  We have seen this through the years. We are to listen for the truth of God's word. I h...

JESUS IS NOT A GLORIFIED BUTLER, HE IS THE SON OF GOD.

SOME BELIEVERS THINK THAT JESUS IS A GLORIFIED BUTLER.  Whatever they ask for they will have, whether it is right or wrong. JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!!  YOU ARE NOT TO COMMAND HIM,  YOU ARE TO ASK HIM, HONOR HIM, AND RESPECT HIM AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.  I have heard some believers young in their faith and understanding, say that they have prayed for such a thing and God will give it to them. They are trusting in their faith, not their faith in God. (Works of the flesh, which is witchcraft) Witchcraft is attempting to manipulate your environment or circumstances. (SELF) Works of the flesh. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. (1Samuel 15:23) Galatians 5;19-20 NOW THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE EVIDENT, WHICH ARE: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions , jealousies, outburst of wrath , selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, and revelries, ...

PREPARING FOR WHAT IS AHEAD OF US, AND TRUSTING GOD IN IT ALL.

  How do we prepare for what's ahead of us? By doing all that God's word has told us to do. We prepare for things that will effect us and our neighbors in the natural.  Natural first, then the spiritual. Pray for wisdom on what you are to do and purchase. Be prepared for emergencies of any kind. Weather, earthquakes, fires, war. Look at your brothers and sisters in other  countries, that were not prepared when disaster struck them. Pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters. Pray for all ministries that are doing God's will. Have food, water, medical supplies.  Have a resource for light.    Have some  candles, flash lights and oil lamps, new batteries. Usually the women do the preparing. Men are out working their jobs. Proverbs 31:10-31 (read it all) (verse 15-19) She rises while it is night.  And provides food for her household,  and a portion for her maidservants.  She girds herself with strength,  And strengthens her arms,...
