Stockpiling in Stupid or Wisdom

 I was reading the Passion Translation Proverbs 14:33 Wisdom soothes the heart of the one with living-understanding, but the heart of the fool just stockpiles stupidity.

People need healing, they need finances met, children taught righteous decrees and see the move of the Lord. We think of this time in the spiritual manner of God Who Hears. Many though say they are dreamers. 
We too are dreamers.....all our lives for we have been seeing the magnificent displays in the sky of sun, moon and stars. The Milky Way and the many planets light up the sky at night.  We experience the shaking of the ground in movements of earthquakes. We see the spectacular whiteness of snow falling to earth and making everything it touches with a radiance.  This day is special indeed. We can live for Jesus, live in His wisdom and move away from foolish ways. To worship God is to be joyful in Him Who planned for us.

Do we want a handout or a hand-up? Do we ask for prayer in the wisdom of God? Do we know someone who prayed for us this day, last year and the year before that? We want the miraculous of God, but do we seek it? Do we count a cost of leaving foolishness behind to seek the Lord and be found with Him?  Many find themselves caught in the world's foolishness, sickness and disease. They  find leaders lift up the criminal in praise and persecute the righteous man to be placed in jail indeed.

The Lord told us that He prepared a table before us in the presence of our enemies. Psalm 23:5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil my cup runs over.

This not a champagne socialist program. It is Jesus. It is a Spiritual Kingdom. John 18:36 My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here.

This world is alienated from God. It is opposed to Him as it is found in Satan's leadership.  John 6:15 Therefore when Jesus perceived that they were about to come and take Him by force to make Him king, He departed again to the mountain by Himself alone.

Jesus went out to pray! John 8:15 You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one. 16 And yet if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent Me.

A righteous judgment is true. It is spiritual words of God that Jesus brought to us!  We can make our decisions based on foolishness and folly or the wisdom of God. No imaginary concerns, but true words of God are to be spoken for life now in this moment.  No sky is falling nor a black and cold winter is on the way. The world has hatred and we can see it being spit out daily by those who say they know the truth and give you that which is so twisted.

John 15:18-25 If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you/ 19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you, "A servant is not greater than his master.' if they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will also keep yours also. 21 But all these things they will do to you for My name's sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me. 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 He who hates Me hates My Father also. 24 If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would have no sin; but now they have seen and also hated both Me and My Father. 25 But this happened that the word might be fulfilled which is written in their law, 'They hated Me without a cause.'

He took sin and it shred Him into many pieces. He died to take our sin and to bring life to us. It is time for Lazarus to come forth. It is time for that major project of God to come forth.  A crucified Jesus suffered the most horrendous death. He was beyond recognition of a man. He faced the foolish headlong and they tore Him apart. Death carried Him to Hades and then power was in form of a  significant one. Truth hit the falsehood and truth carried forth in that of God. Power loosed, Holy Spirit the spiritual indeed came forth. Are we stockpiling in foolishness as the fool or stockpiling in the wisdom of God? Holy Spirit is vital to our walk in this hour?

It is that place of His word in our hearts,praise on our lips, a willingness to share the goodness of God in the land of the  living.

I share this with you. for in the darkest hour of my life, I have spent the last 10 months in much pain and loss of my legs in use. I waited months for appointments and more treatments and listened to what a doctor practices in their office.  Certainly I have had use of some infusions and the nerve pain is much less. I have family who sent scriptures weekly, called to check on us and sent gifts of book and other indeed. But what I have learned from these, including Buffy, Mr. Mike and Meghan, we gain only through the word  and knowing Him. Seeking Him in the darkest night, and the most terrific pain, only reaching Him with my heart, and my praise on my lips I reached His ears. It reached the Father, wonderful counselor, Most High God. Prayer was heard.

Somebody prayed. One in despair, one in depression, one in sickness and disease....looks like someone prayed. And Jesus did when you read John 17. Thank Jesus for helping ME to see the miraculous this day. To take steps from the bedroom to the living more than once this day with His helping me and telling me to keep reaching. He wants me to keep going, to keeping walking and keep writing for His glory and to His praise. Yes, prayer works. 

Somebody prayed and confessed truth: my husband indeed, and those closest to me. I took those steps and will continue to get stronger by His mighty hand. I still have an aid to use for walking, but the Lord said today is my day! He had been speaking it through my husband for the last two months. I pray the same for you, whoever you may be, that God has the miraculous in store for the wise, those seeking the wisdom of God. Salvation is today. It is a resurrection from the dead. But healing comes from those really seeking the miraculous of a mighty God, Prince of Peace, It comes in the valley of the shadow of death. It is a miracle touch of a loving Lord and Savior, Jesus! Amen and Amen.

Resurrection Day is today indeed!

MARVELOUS LIGHT AND THE WONDERFUL!

1 Peter 2:7-10...........7 Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient,

"The stone which the builders rejected, Has become the chief cornerstone,"

8 and ..........."A stone of stumbling
And a rock of offense."

They stumble, being disobedient to the word, to which they also were appointed.

9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; 10 who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy. NKJV

CALLED out of darkness into His marvelous light....what a glorious Word to us who believe. To us, He is the precious, but to those who reject Him, Him is the chief cornerstone. To those who reject Him, they stumble and are offended because of Jesus!

Psalm 119:17-20............17 Bless me with life so that I can continue to obey you. 18 Open my eyes to see wonderful things in your Word. 19 I am but a pilgrim here on earth: how I need a map-and your commands are my chart and guide. 20 I long for your instructions more than I can tell.  TLB

Open our eyes to see the wonderful things in Your Word. Verse 19....."I am but a pilgrim here on earth; how I need a map..................YOUR commands to guide..........for I long for Your instructions more than I can tell."

Being open to God the Lord is being open to see His glory and majesty..........that He is wonderful and He created us!

Psalm 139:13-16...........13 For You formed my inward parts;

You covered me in my mother's womb. 

14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

Marvelous are Your works,

And that my soul knows very well. 

15 My frame was not hidden from You,

When I was made in secret,

And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 

16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.

And in Your book they all were written,

The days fashioned for me,

When as yet there were none of them.  NKJV

The Great God created each of us. He formed our inward parts!

Well, I know that Shelley! I have heard it over and over again.  

Today, though, let us look at the Creator.......Who..........in the beginning formed the heavens and the earth!

Genesis 1:1-5.................1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. 3 Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day. 

NKJV

Hallelujah! God CREATED! HE created the heavens and the earth!

Yes,........ the first verse of the entire Bible, God created...........and He created with you in mind. He would need a place for His family to live. And He created that place in beauty, majesty and wonder!

The God of WONDERFUL DID WONDERFUL WORKS.....FOR US!

Psalm 107:31-32........31 Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness,

And for His wonderful works to the children of men! 

32 Let them exalt Him also in the assembly of the people,

And praise Him in the company of the elders.   NKJV

Oh that we would give thanks to HIM for His goodness and His wonderful works to the children of men............and He did it all in His wisdom, counsel and strength.

Isaiah 9:6-7...............6 For unto us a Child is born,

Unto us a Son is given;

And the government will be upon His shoulder.

And His name will be called 

Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,

Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 

7 Of the increase of His government and peace 

There will be no end,

Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom,

To order it and establish it with judgment and justice 

From that time forward, even forever.

The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.  NKJV

For unto us a Child was born............and Isaiah prophesied His wonderful coming. He told that His government............that government of heaven would be on His shoulder...........and HIS NAME WILL BE CALLED WONDERFUL, COUNSELOR, MIGHTY GOD, EVERLASTING FATHER, PRINCE OF PEACE .................AND THERE WILL BE NO END.

Jesus came to set up His government...........that of Heaven and............a government established with judgment and justice.............from that time and forever.

The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this!

Colossians 1:13-20...........13 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. 18 And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence. 

19 For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell,      NKJV

Colossians 2:2-4.........2 that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, and attaining to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ, 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. 

NKJV

In the beautiful face of Jesus...........a government came. In His wisdom, love, and power He came to assert.......to declare, proclaim, yes announce with wisdom and love that the kingdom had come. His faith in God.......even though He was, is and is come.............it was a faith of boldness in the face of adversity, AND every devil that came against what God had planned for His children. He came in power of the Holy Ghost with a behavior of one who was established in heart to speak confidently............to stand and speak truth in the face of  a religion, 

Matthew 12:18-21.....................18 "Behold, My Servant whom I have chosen,

My Beloved in whom My soul is well pleased!

I will put My Spirit upon Him,

And He will declare justice to the Gentiles. 

19 He will not quarrel nor cry out,

Nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets. 

20 A bruised reed He will not break,

And smoking flax He will not quench,

Till He sends forth justice to victory; 

21 And in His name Gentiles will trust."    NKJV

HIS dying on the cross brought forth justice to victory! Justice for man was what God was desiring for His children ...........and in that moment of anguish, and pain, of blood and of beatings, rose justice to the children. They had within Jesus, a Savior, and they had been REDEEMED WITH THE GREATEST PRICE. WONDERFUL, COUNSELOR, MIGHTY GOD, PRINCE OF PEACE!

WILL NOT QUARREL WITH ANYONE.........NEVER ARGUE THE BIBLE....JESUS GAVE THE WORD OF GOD .......THAT OF SPIRIT AND TRUTH.......WE ARE TO..GIVE THE SCRIPTURE OR PASSAGE AND THEN GO ON TO ANOTHER WHO WILL HEAR AND RECEIVE!

The wisdom of God is peaceable............as we see in...........James 3:13-18.........13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. 14 But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. 15 This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. 16 For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. 17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. 18 Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.  NKJV

Wisdom speaks......is beautiful.........to the point..............no boasting about me, myself and I, but a boasting on the Lord.................not self-seeking but speaking with a wisdom that is peaceable, gentle, willing to yield..............not yielding to the perverse thing, but yielding to hear someone and then give them a reply in the wisdom of God. It is one that is full of mercy and of good fruits. It is righteousness!

Luke 4:16-22..........16 So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. 17 And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written: 

18 "The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me,

Because He has anointed Me 

To preach the gospel to the poor;

He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,

To proclaim liberty to the captives 

And recovery of sight to the blind,

To set at liberty those who are oppressed;  

19 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD."  

20 Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him. 21 And He began to say to them, "Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing." 22 So all bore witness to Him, and marveled at the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth.  NKJV

YES, HE SPOKE INTO RELIGION, AND MAN'S WAYS, AND declared that the Spirit of the LORD was upon HIM. He declared that he was to preach the gospel to the poor, heal the brokenhearted, proclaim liberty to those that were blind, set a liberty those who were and are oppressed and to proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD! AMEN, AND AMEN!

And He came to show us, those created in the beauty of God, those destined as His sons, those destined to be God's family...............this is what it looks like and how it sounds. Yes, God always makes sounds........AND WHEN WE SEE THAT WE ARE CALLED OUT OF DARKNESS AND MOVE INTO THAT MARVELOUS LIGHT.............WE become a beauty..........an orchestra, harmonizing together with God.........making a sound that is much like the most beautiful symphony you have ever heard played.

We are that chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation..............grafted into the branch to become one nation in God..........one nation, who recognizes the Lordship of Jesus Christ, and see His ruling over His anointed and appointed people!

Well, Shelley, no one has laid hands on me and told me that I am to preach or bring liberty to those who are oppressed. Maybe not, but we are all called to His family and do we not, as a brother or sister, pray for our siblings, our families and even our neighbors? We may not know someone personally but God calls us into marvelous light and to see those still in darkness.............those still struggling, those still in bondage and reach them in beauty, in love, in wisdom, and knowledge of God.

Throw off the garment of grave clothes and be dressed in your royal robes of purple. Take up the Word and see yourself in it today. Let that Light Shine brightly and show you the way of salvation. (Acts 15:18)  18 Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world. KJV

Ephesians 1:4-10............. 4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 5 he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will- 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace 8 that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding. 9 And he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, 10 to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment-to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ. 

NIV

Today, may we all walk in that created world in love. being adopted as His sons through Jesus Christ in accordance to His pleasure and will! We know that it was planned from the foundation of the world, and that ...."the times will have reached their fulfillment..............yes, to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ." 

Glory to His HOLY Name!

Father, thank You for Jesus............and His name is called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of PEACE  and of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end.

Today we pray to have the same "The zeal of the LORD of hosts WHO will perform this"!

Father, we pray in His Holy name to be those who act and speak in the wisdom of God, in the justice of God and in the peace of God..........that Wisdom from God is our righteousness, our holiness, and our redemption. (1 Corinthians 1:30)

May we represent the kingdom of God the way Jesus did. May our boast be in the Lord always. May we be found to be those who posses a confidence.....in our hearts........before God and receive from Him anything we ask, because we obey His commands and to what pleases Him. That command is to believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ and to love one another as He commanded us. We know that when we obey, we live in Him and He in us. And we know this because of the Spirit He gave us. (1 John 3:21-24)

We come to YOUR marvelous Light and see the wonder YOU have placed in us. To YOU be all the glory! Amen and Amen.

The Neighborhood Watch

John 1:43-51
43 The following day Jesus wanted to go to Galilee, and He found Philip and said to him, "Follow Me." 44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. 45 Philip found Nathanael and said to him, "We have found Him of whom Moses in the law, and also the prophets, wrote--Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph." 46 And Nathanael said to him, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see." 47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him, and said of him, "Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!" 48 Nathanael said to Him, "How do You know me?" Jesus answered and said to him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you." 49 Nathanael answered and said to Him, "Rabbi, You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!" 50 Jesus answered and said to him, "Because I said to you, 'I saw you under the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than these." 51 And He said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man." NKJV

Can you imagine what the day was like when Jesus showed up in the "neighborhood"?
Can you imagine if He showed up in your neighborhood much like He did when He came through on His way to Galilee?

On this specific day, we find Jesus calling "to follow HIM"! As He traveled through the communities, He was the one who spoke and the first of the day was Philip. Then it mentions that Philip was from Bethsaida much like Peter and Andrew. They were born evidently in a community of fisherman. But later Peter and Andrew are found to reside in Capernaum.

Philip in all his excitement, runs to tell Nathanael. What an exciting time to be alive! He has seen " the promised One".

We are told that Philip found Nathanael. It does not say what else was going on, but in all the excitement Philip tells Nathanael that "we have found Him of whom Moses in the law, and also the prophets, wrote....Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

What excitement and joy that must have filled Philip's heart, that which so many read of and now see before them, that Philip could now share with someone in "the neighborhood"! 

Do we not get excited when we discover something about Jesus that we had not seen before? Are we not elated and motivated to share what we have just received from the Word of God? For certain, Philip was acquainted with scriptures of the Old Testament and he wanted to share. When we visit the passages written in the book of Isaiah and found in chapter 9.......we read starting in verse 6.....

6 For to us a child is born,

to us a son is given,

and the government will be on his shoulders.

And he will be called 

Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,

Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 

7 Of the increase of his government and peace 

there will be no end.

He will reign on David's throne 

and over his kingdom,

establishing and upholding it 

with justice and righteousness 

from that time on and forever.

The zeal of the LORD Almighty 

will accomplish this. NIV

We find Jesus called the Wonderful Counselor, the Mighty God, and the Prince of Peace. 

In the scripture below we find Jesus referred to as a "Branch of righteousness" and His name will be called THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Jeremiah 23:5-6

5 "Behold, the days are coming," says the LORD,

"That I will raise to David a Branch of righteousness;

A King shall reign and prosper,

And execute judgment and righteousness in the earth. 

6 In His days Judah will be saved,

And Israel will dwell safely;

Now this is His name by which He will be called:

THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. NKJV

Yes, there are many wonderful things written to show us what God had planned. And Philip shared with Nathanael but all was not truth of what he spoke. Jesus was of Bethlehem and nowhere does it say that Joseph was the "father" As we know from Scripture, the Holy Spirit came upon Mary and she conceived of the "supernatural" and not of the natural man like Joseph. Yes, mistakes can be made when someone may speak and that is why it is good for each of us to go and study the scriptures for ourselves. It is important to read and reread them and plant them deep in our heart so we know "truth" from error!

The other specific was that Jesus "found" them. Jesus came to meet with them face to face. Without an appointment, a phone call, or email..........today........."what if Jesus is coming to meet you face to face"? Jesus found and then "called them"!

Nathanael speaks and the first thing was:" Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?"

He wanted Philip to prove what he had spoken previously of Jesus of Nazareth.  In light of what Philip spoke was the part about..... of "Nazareth" and Philip just told him "to come and see".  For in scripture, we know,  in Isaiah 7:13-14..........13 Then he said, "Hear now, O house of David!    Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will you weary my God also? 14 Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel. NKJV

   Philip knew enough of what he read and understood but not enough for another to be convinced. But Philip knew if Nathanael would just come and see, he would recognize who Jesus was! I can tell what I see of who Jesus is and what He has done for me, but you must really come and see Him for you, yourself! You need to make the connection and a lot of times we think if we do not hear or see, that we have missed Him. Yet here we see Jesus and He had come to make contact with them individually.

 Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him, and said of him, "Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!" 48 Nathanael said to Him, "How do You know me?" Jesus answered and said to him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."

Jesus already knew where Nathanael was and what he was doing. Jesus called him an Israelite indeed in whom is no deceit. He was calling him the man of prayer, the man who took time under the fig tree to spend time away from others and spend time to hear God speak. Jesus knew "the state of his heart". He knew Nathanael to be one heart with HIM!
And Nathanael answered, "Rabbi, You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!" 50 Jesus answered and said to him, "Because I said to you, 'I saw you under the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than these." 51 And He said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man." NKJV

Nathanael was calling Jesus the Teacher when he said, " Rabbi!". He called HIM the Son of God, the King of Israel!
When we believe the greater of Who Jesus is.......we experience seeing the greater for the future.
Telling Nathanael that He saw him under the fig tree, was revealing to more about Jesus knowing the story on Nathanael. He was telling him what had just occurred previously and how the meeting with Philip came about. He revealed that Philip came to tell him the news that Jesus was there.

Jesus saw Nathanael in the "secret place". It was in this place that Nathanael was seeking time with the Lord...............and thinking no one would see, yet Jesus knew where and what he was doing.  Jesus saw in the secret and made it known in the public, in the "neighborhood". Nathanael was different and Jesus made the truth known. In all this, Nathanael knew who Jesus was and embraced Him as the Teacher. He was submitting to the leadership and authority of Jesus, the Son of God. He comes so that our lives will change dramatically from the mundane to the "supernatural".

Nathanael was connected with the Son of Man, the Son of God, the Great "I AM" in our midst! You Nathanael will see the miraculous! We, too, like Nathanael can expect to see the "unseen" manifest in our lives. When it is the Lord who shows up to encourage you and strengthen you in the way to walk and the way to go which is in His truth!

Jesus is seeking those who will submit whole-heartedly to His leadership. He comes to bring strength in our weakness. He comes in our ignorance, to give Light to the word of God and show us the way in which to walk in His wisdom. 

Proverbs 4:10-13

10 Hear, my son, and receive my sayings,

And the years of your life will be many. 

11 I have taught you in the way of wisdom;

I have led you in right paths. 

12 When you walk, your steps will not be hindered,

And when you run, you will not stumble. 

13 Take firm hold of instruction, do not let go;

Keep her, for she is your life. NKJV

We too, can be like Nathanael and go to the "secret place" and look to find the Lord in the scriptures we read and study. But Jesus will be made known to us when we go to see with others. When we get out of the "secret" place and look expectantly, the Lord will speak to us. Like Nathanael, we may not be looking, but the Lord is looking and ever hearing what we speak when we spend time with Him. Jesus will meet you face to face "in the neighborhood watch". He will make it plain and clear that He comes to seek you out for His plan that you see "greater things".

Jesus, You are Welcome Here!

Father, today, I pray in Jesus' name for us to spend time to separate "truth" from error. May we be like the Berean's who search out the scriptures to find the truth of who You are and what we have today in Your name. I pray that we will submit whole-heartedly to Your leadership and Authority. I pray that as we do, that we sill see our years of life will be many, that our ways will be according to Your wisdom, that we be led on right paths, with nothing hindering us! Today, I pray for Your strength where we are weak and for Your guidance when we think we know all we need to know. Because it is You Who knows the Beginning from the End........we set our sights on YOU and ask YOU to lead us in paths of righteousness. I pray that each of confess Jesus as the LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS, THE KING OF ISRAEL, EMMANUEL WITH US! Thank You Lord for Your wisdom that shows where anything is out of alignment in our lives, whether at home, in the work place , school or even in church! I vow to give You praise for all the lives that will be changed because of Your Word of truth. I bless Your name and glorify You. It is Your truth and Light that leads us through the valley of dark shadows and brings into victory. Thank YOU for delivering us from evil work and for the giving us the authority of YOUR Holy name Jesus. Amen.
