Isn’t it wonderful to know that you have access to supernatural wisdom?


Isn’t it wonderful to know that you have access to supernatural wisdom?

Proverbs_9-10-2: The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding

Proverbs_9-10-2: The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding

True wisdom

Wisdom will control your mind….sound judgment and good sense will watch over you. Wisdom will protect you from evil schemes…

Proverbs 2:10-12 (CEV)

True wisdom is itself supernatural, because it comes from God alone. The world has its definition of what wisdom is, for example they define it as “Ability to apply knowledge or experience or understanding or common sense and insight.” However, wisdom is a lot more than just the ability to apply knowledge.

Wisdom is a force. It makes you do the things that you should do, say the things you should say and causes you to function beyond your human reasoning. When wisdom is working in you, you will take steps beyond your reasoning. The good news is that Christ has been made unto you wisdom (1 Corinthians 1:30) and He is the embodiment of all wisdom (Colossians 2:3).

Isn’t it wonderful to know that you have access to supernatural wisdom? As it functions in you, it causes you to make accurate choices and judgments. That should make you an excellent student at school and an excellent employer or employee at work! Your academics, business and other aspects of life would be truly supernatural because you’re blessed with supernatural wisdom.

The Bible says, “……thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying. This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left” (Isaiah 30:21). That means that with supernatural wisdom working in you, your life will no longer be one of “guess work.” This is why you need to take advantage of the wisdom of God that is in Christ. The more you meditate on the Word of God, the greater the force of supernatural wisdom that will operate in your life.

Proverbs_1-7: The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction

Proverbs_1-7: The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction

Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for giving me access to Your treasury of wisdom in Christ. I pray Your wisdom would continually manifest in every area of my life. I yield my spirit, soul and body to the force of Your wisdom to move me and guide me into the right path every day, in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

As You Renew Your Mind with the Word of God, You’ll Discover That All Things Are Possible


As You Renew Your Mind with the Word of God, You’ll Discover That All Things Are Possible

Mark_9-23-1: Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth

Mark_9-23-1: Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth

Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life

Proverbs 4:23

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

The type of information you feed your mind and spirit determine your character, personality and the kind of life you’ll live. Therefore, the information you expose yourself to will either make or mar you.

Have you ever seen a dead person? How did you know the person was dead? You couldn’t have known what death is like by yourself, since you haven’t died before. You thought the person was dead because you had been informed that corpses are cold and stiff, they don’t move, talk or breathe. When you looked at the man, you observe he was that way and you believed. Your knowledge was all based on information you were exposed to.

Revelation_21-4: And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away

Revelation_21-4: And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away

The corpse of a young guy was being taken to the cemetery. Jesus stopped the funeral procession, turned to the corpse and said, “Young man get up.” The young man got up immediately (Luke 7:14-15). When He was told a little girl just died, He said she was only sleeping and He proved it by waking her up to the astonishment of all (Mark 5:38-42). Four days after Lazarus was buried, Jesus showed up. He uttered a simple prayer, stood at the entrance of the sepulchre and called out, Lazarus, come forth!” the man that was dead and stinking came out alive (John 11:41-44). Hallelujah!

Jeremiah_33-3: Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not

Jeremiah_33-3: Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not

How come Jesus talked to dead corpses? It was because He didn’t walk with human information. Was He trying to act faith when He addressed the corpse? No! He was being real! I’m sure He had the same information about corpses being cold, stiff and unresponsive. However, Jesus refused to be dominated or influenced by such.

John_16-33: These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world

John_16-33: These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world

I showed you all these to let you see why you must refuse to allow your mind be controlled by worldly information. This can only be done with the Word of God, for that’s the only information you need. Don’t just accept everything the world says without judging it with the Word of God. As you renew your mind with the Word of God, you’ll discover that all things are possible.

Prayer:

 

Dear Heavenly Father! I yield my body, soul and spirit to the cleansing power of Your Word. Let it fill me through and through, removing every information or idea that doesn’t have its origin in You, in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

“What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?” Roman 8:31

David was the man God called after Saul disappointed Him. The Bible said of David I have found me a man after my own heart. In other words God found the man that will do what He wants. And then He sent Prophet Samuel to the house of Jesse to anoint David as king. When he got there all the sons of Jesse came; Eliab, Abinadab, Shamak and the rest came but David was not there. It happened that God was organizing something for David but he was not invited. Let me tell you child of God, whatever the Lord has packaged for you, no one will take away from you. They can manipulate and do all human arrangements but as long as it is not God’s arrangement they will never take it away from you. God’s word concerning you will come to pass and if no one will speak for you God Himself will speak for you. At times we may not have a voice but I am glad that the God that we serve has the loudest voice. He knows how to speak for people who cannot speak for themselves.

Jeremiah_29-11: For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end

Jeremiah_29-11: For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end

They had to look for David. So they will look for you because nothing will proceed without you because you have a vital role to play. They looked for David and he was anointed king in the midst of his brethren. This was a man that was forgotten but suddenly, in an instant, he became king.

Beloved, you must allow God to be God. In addition to the foregoing, someone was at the palace speaking on behalf of David. Saul became mentally deranged and someone said to the king I know a man who knows how to play music and your condition will be minimized. David did not solicit for the publicity. In the same vein God will make it happen for you.

Psalms_5-12-1: For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

Psalms_5-12-1: For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

David suddenly moved from the backside of the desert where he was playing music for animals to the palace. I declare that you are moving to the palace. Right now it looks as if you are a nobody, you come into church and go out, and nobody recognizes you. Just keep coming. All I can promise you is that the word of God will do wonders in your life. What he did for others He will do in your life. Favour will attend to you anywhere you go. You will attract favour nationally and internationally. What has been difficult for you to sell, this month you will sell it. Beginning from now your testimony starts. The treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, the treasures in the sand, in the air, in the trees, in the hills and valleys and mountains, treasures that are yet hidden that no one has found, I release them to you now. This year you will overtake your overtakers, Amen!

A pastor at the Christian Proctor Church in Vermont, USA, has been sentenced to one year in federal prison after refusing to marry gay couples, according to NBC. This comes shortly after the Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision ruling that states must allow gay-marriage.

The Christian Pastor, 56-year-old Paul Horner, had his lawyer speak to reporters on his behalf.

“We are currently disputing the guilty verdict and I am confident my client will be a free man here shortly,” said attorney Tom Downey. “Horner was just using his best judgement according to his rights and religious freedom in this country.”

The Honorable Myron Danus (pictured above) handed down the harsh sentence. “Religious freedom goes both ways, Mr. Horner,” Danus told a packed courtroom. “It is not your place to deny individuals the same rights that everyone else has, rights that were passed down and agreed upon in a court of law, the ultimate court, the Supreme Court. It is not your decision whether or not you agree with the law but more importantly that you follow it and enforce it.”

According to the criminal investigation, the Christian Proctor Church is registered with the state as a “religious corporation” limited to performing “one-man-one-woman marriages as defined by the Holy Bible.” But the church is also registered as a for-profit business and city officials said that means the owners must comply with state and federal regulations.

Steve Shand president of the Vermont Family Research Committee, said it is “open season on Americans who refuse to bow to the government’s redefinition of marriage.”

Homosexuals are gay,” Shand told reporters. “Why should Christian ministers be forced to perform and celebrate any marriage that conflicts with their beliefs? It’s a slippery slope my friend. Pretty soon these same pastors will be forced to wed animals or kitchen appliances. This is not my America!”

Gwen Hawkins who is president of the LGBT Pride Center in Vermont said she is happy with the guilty verdict.

“We just want the same rights as everyone else and this guilty verdict sets a great precedent,” Hawkins said. “These fanatical Christians base their life on one verse in the Bible but they seem to forget the other 99% of the verses in the book. For example, why can’t we stone to death Bristol Palin for having a baby out of wedlock? And what about her mother, Sarah Palin, breaking the rules of Corinthians 14:34 which clearly state that as a woman, she is not allowed to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. But no, they like to pick the one verse in the Bible about gay people and build their camp around it.”

Proctor is a town in Rutland County, Vermont, United States. The population was 1,741 at the 2010 census. Proctor is home to the Vermont Marble Museum and Wilson Castle.

Philippians_1-6-1: Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. God Is Good

This Scripture reveals one of the most beautiful evidence of the presence and influence of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer. You become fruitful and productive when the Spirit of God comes upon your life. He brings in an anointing that affects your life and causes things to work.

Ephesians_2-10: For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

Ephesians_2-10: For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

Things may go bad and cause your life to be a wilderness, but that is until the Spirit is poured upon you from high. It is the Spirit that changes things. I wish many people would understand what the anointing does. The anointing of God’s Spirit has to do with the presence of God. So, in the opening Scripture when the Prophet Isaiah said,Until the Spirit be poured upon us from on high,” he meant,until the anointing comes upon us

Psalms_16-11: Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

Psalms_16-11: Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

But we’re not those waiting for the anointing to come upon us. If you’ve received the Holy Spirit of God, then the Spirit has been poured upon you from on high. Thus you don’t need to struggle to be successful, fruitful or productive.

Acts_1-8: But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Acts_1-8: But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

You may look at your life and there’s so much unproductivity; you may look at your home and it’s like a desert; your finances may be in zero, and your health deteriorating by the day but, if you have the Holy Spirit, water will spring up from your desert! You will experience productivity and growth in every area of your life. You will move forward. There will be a bursting forth on your right hand and on your left.

God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect

God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect

You may say, “ But I’m not experiencing dryness, and my life is not unproductive.” Well, thank God for you, for there’s something better: your fruitful field can become a forest! This means you can be more productive spiritually and financially. Your life can affect more people for Jesus. You can move from experiencing divine healing to divine health. There’s always something better for you in Christ! Glory to God! Hallelujah!

Prayer:

Dear Lord, You have established me to be fruitful and productive in life! I’m like a tree by the rivers of water. I’m fruitful in every good work, even as I increase in the knowledge of God. Amen!
