WE CAN HAVE INFORMATION AND SOME KNOWLEDGE, BUT IF IT IS NOT FROM GOD'S WORD AND NOT APPLIED, IT IS OF NO VALUE.

We can have some knowledge about the Lord, but if we do not add to that knowledge we will be stunted in our growth.

Proverbs 9:10

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy one is understanding.

We need to understand the knowledge we have obtained, we need to apply it to our walk in Jesus.

Colossians 1:9-12

For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy, giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.

We all know people who can quote scriptures, but they do not live what they say.

Some of us can relate to that, as we know it takes time to learn and grow and apply that word to our life. 

We must learn to be patient with the younger believers. Always remember how patient God has been and is with us.

When something unexpected happens we react in our flesh, and not in our new born again spirit.

That's how we know what areas to submit to the Holy Spirit. Where we are lacking in knowledge and understanding.

Beloved, we see our flaws, but God sees us complete in Jesus. 

We need to not be so critical of ourselves when we feel like we have failed in an area. 

Just turn it all over to Jesus, He will carry it.

Information is head knowledge, obedience is from our heart because we love to please the Lord and obey his word.

We love to learn more about our Lord and His kingdom that we now belong to.

Spiritual knowledge will cause change to take place.

2Peter 1:2-4

Grace and peace be multiplied to you in knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which  have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be a partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Beloved, get your knowledge from the Word of God. It will never disappoint you.

God bless your day

Jesus loves you.

Joy, I really appreciate this message. You can have all the "knowledge" in the world, but if it is not GOD'S KNOWLEDGE and His Word it is of little or no value. Sadly the world prides itself in how smart it is, especially in today's age. So enjoyed and benefitted from reading today's message from you.

LOVE IS ALWAYS WILLING TO STOOP DOWN TO HELP ANOTHER UP.

  In John 8:6, a women is thrown down at Jesus feet. Jesus bends down where the woman is at. He begins to write on the stones at the temple. Only God had written on stones.  The reality of who Jesus is, caused the religious leaders to leave. I find it interesting that Jesus told Nicodemus, a very religious man, that he must be born again. The man humbled himself and came to Jesus. As believers we are born again of God's Spirit. 1Peter 1:22-23 Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart, having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever, Beloved, love is always willing to stoop down to help another up. Humility is a sign that we are born again of God's Spirit. A humble person will always point to Jesus, never themselves. 1 Peter 5:5-6 Likewise you younger people, submit to your elders, Yes, all of yo...

THE WILDERNESS EXPERIENCE IS WHERE WE LEARN TO DEPEND ON THE LORD.

 When Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, He depended on the word of God. Matthew 4:3-11 Now the tempter came to Him, he said, "If You are the Son of God,(HE TRIED TO PLACE DOUBT IN JESUS MIND) command these stones become bread. (He dealt with the Lords natural hunger) But He answered and said, "It is written, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. Then he took Him up into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said "If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down, for it is written, (From Psalms 91:11, notice the devil misquoted Gods word, and left out "to keep You in all your ways)  "He will give His angels charge over you. and, "In their hands their they  shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone. Jesus said to to him "It is written again, "You shall not tempt the Lord your God." Again, the devil took Him up to an exceedingly high moun...

IT'S TIME FOR PRUNING SEASON, A TIME TO CUT AWAY THE OLD AND MAKE ROOM FOR THE NEW.

 The whole earth is getting ready to rest. To have old things that hindered our growth, removed and to make room for the new growth. In the Spring it will be evident what has transpired. John 15:1-5 I am the true vine, and My Father is the vine dresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away, and every branch that bears fruit He prunes,  that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you.  As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches.  He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit, for without Me you can do nothing. The pruning process will lead us to greater growth in the fruit of the Spirit. Galatians 5:22-24 But the  fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control, against such there is no l...
