Words matter

 Our nation, our world is in disarray due to constant, senseless violence. I often wonder how people can be so careless with their weapons, their guns. What we fail to realize is the same carelessness is coming from our very lips. We have the power to speak life and to speak death, Proverbs 18:21. A word, one word, can be just as deadly and dangerous as a bullet. It can leave someone in critical condition and even cause death. Though it may not be a physical death, but death to someone's soul, to their spirit, or to their well-being. So be mindful of what you're speaking. Do you have Grace upon your lips? Col 4:6 - Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man[KJV]. 

Jesus said he requires Mercy more than sacrifice. Find out what that means, Matthew 9:13. The life that you live is not just about you. If you are alive it is your responsibility to think of others, to love your neighbor as you love yourself,  Matthew 22:39. It is time for people and especially God's children, those who have chosen to follow Christ, those who have chosen to believe in Christ, it's time to do as He did. If he had chosen to be selfish we would be in a terrible state at this day and time because he would not have gotten on the cross. He chose to give up his will so that God's will could be done, Luke 22:42. What can you give up today that will allow someone else to flourish? 

Seek the kingdom of God. It's not enough just to say you believe because you can believe and then go on with your own selfish life, James 1:22-27. Oh, to take up your cross and follow Jesus requires action on our part. It requires us to be mindful of whether we're speaking life or speaking death. There are things we need to speak death to but get godly wisdom and in all your getting get understanding, to know God's will, Proverbs 4:7. B o B, Blessings on Blessings.

Speak to it

Speak to it and watch God move through his word in your words. There are several places in the Bible that show how powerful words are. God himself spoke everything into its very existence (Genesis 1:3-26), except for one thing. Comment if you know the exception. 

Words have a cause and effect in our lives. This includes not speaking. God told Moses to speak to a rock and out of his frustration he hit it, twice before it produced what God promised, Numbers 20:1-13. I wonder what the outcome would have been had he followed God's instructions. Communication is very important and when God says speak his purpose is always greater than our own. Proverbs 25:11 says a word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver, meditate on that.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof, Proverbs 18:21. God told Ezekiel to prophesy and say to some dry bones, "hear the word of the Lord!" And every word Ezekiel spoke the Lord made happen, Ezekiel 37. Then Jesus in Matthew 21:19 spoke to a fig tree that quickly withered away and died. Being questioned about it Jesus said this, "verily I say unto you, if you have faith, and doubt not, you shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if you shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea, it shall be done." This confirms the power behind words (maybe you should read it again Matt.21:19). One of the greatest and most well-known examples of the power of speaking is when Jesus called forth Lazarus from death back to life in John 11:43. 

We must be careful what and when we speak and more careful about our belief in what we speak. 2 Corinthians 4:3, I believe therefore have I spoken. We will answer for every idle word, Matthew 12:36. So speak with purpose and may Grace always be on your lips, Colossians 4:6. No matter what seek God first, then speak to it. Blessings!

Am I my brother's keeper?

Be careful of tempting your brothers and sisters. See Galatians 6:1. Everyone has their own opinion about what is okay to watch or do as a Christian. The Bible says keep thy heart with all diligence for out of it are the issues of life, Proverbs 4:23. If the elements of sin is; the lust of the eye, lust of the flesh, and the pride of life(1John 2:16), why are we not turning away from those things? We get consumed with TV shows filled with all those characteristics. We are drawn to drama, sex, and witchcraft. Then we expose others in our life to sinful things and don't think twice about it. I know I can get sucked into a TV show about sex, lies, and fighting. I tried to keep my distance but sometimes I walk in the house and someone is watching something that catches my attention and before long it pulls me in. How often are we tempting other people by being insensitive to the distraction of sinful elements? Just because we can watch TV does not mean we should. I have to be careful what I watch because I used to struggle with impure sexual desires. We may see TV is entertainment but it also plants seeds. I love a good movie with action or romance but if there are scenes that cause me to have sexual thoughts that was a movie I should  not have indulged in. Read it again, the elements of sin are; 1. lust of the eye, first you like what you see, 2. lust of the flesh, then your flesh wants it, 3. pride of life, deciding you deserve it or you alone can handle it. When a seed is planted the seed dies and something else grows in its place that is way bigger than the seed and takes over then produces other seeds. I said all this to say be careful little eyes what you see, say, hear, and do because you never know who you may be causing to fall into sin. I may be able to handle a glass of wine, but that doesn't mean I should drink around or with everyone. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. We are our "brother's" keeper, Galatians 6:1.

Eat and Drink

1 Corinthians 11:17-34 talks about how you read, interpret, and share the word of God. It also refers to whether or not we receive the blood of Christ for who He is and walk in His ways. 

When we come together it should be all about Christ Jesus and if someone is hungry (lacking full understanding) they should be reading and studying at home preparing for the next gathering so we can be on one accord in Christ. Every time we read God's word it should be in remembrance of who Christ is, why He came, why He died and rose, and He is coming back. 

Some groups have divided themselves, assuming they are better than others and know more. They make others seem inferior or less than while they puff themselves up and leave the fullness of Christ out. If I don't take in His word and accept the full assignment of what Christ came to do I am denying the power of God the Father. By presenting Christ Jesus as just a man I will be guilty of sinning against the word and sacrifice of the Lord.

 We all need to ask ourselves, what do I expect when I read the Bible, the word of God? Do I fully accept the assignment of Christ for who he is? 

When or if you read 1st Corinthians 11:17-34 you may think of the first Sunday of the month and the ceremony called communion. However, it is not about crackers and grape juice. Communion means – the sharing or exchanging of intimate thoughts and feelings especially when the exchange is on a mental or spiritual level [Google]. As you read 1st Corinthians 11:17 - 34 substitute the words; cup for assignment, blood for sacrifice, eat for take in, drink for accept, and body/bread for word. I pray it gives you clarity, godly understanding, and deep revelation in the name of Christ Jesus.

Who do you say I am.

Christ Jesus is the author and finisher of my faith, Hebrews 12:2. He was there in the beginning and he will be there in the end. God uses the foolish things of the world to confound the wise, 1Corinthians 1:27. That is those who think they know everything and they've got it all figured out. God does things that naturally do not make sense. Just when I think I know something he reminds me his ways are not my ways nor his thoughts my thoughts, Isaiah 55:8-9. My mind cannot even reach the level God is on. 

In the beginning God made the heavens and the earth. He spoke and his word brought things into existence, Genesis 1:1-27. Then he said let us make man in our own image (this is where it became intimate and personal because he created man with his hands). In everything else, God's word did the creating and completed the work. God sent his word and created everything we see today. 

God said He watches over his word to perform it, Jeremiah 1:12. He even sent His word to show up on His behalf. Genesis 15 says the word of the Lord came. Read numbers 15:31 and Psalms 119:105. Hebrews 4:12 says God's word is alive and powerful. 

In the beginning was the word, the word was with God, and the word was God, John 1:1. So who is the word? Read down to John 1:10-14. John goes on to say; 

10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Again I ask who is the word? Who do you say I AM, Matthew 16:15-16?

Believe and rest

When we believe in something other people know this by our actions. For example if I have a favorite football team and I have faith to believe they are the best you will know by my conversation. If I can, I will attend the game or all, wear a shirt, or display a bumper sticker. When my team is not popular or the favorite of my friends and family that won't matter if I truly believe they are the best and worth my time money and support. Faith without works is dead James 2:26. What if I never watch a game, or talk about the team? What if I don't know the names of the players or their stats am I really interested in them? Maybe I have no clue as to who the coach or owner is or when and who they play next. Do I really have faith in them? It would seem I just like to say that's my favorite team. This is how I liken my belief in God the father, Christ Jesus the son and Holy spirit the comforter. There is nothing I can do physically on my own to earn my place in the kingdom of God. However, when I believe God's word, I will seek his face, study his ways, follow the example of Christ, and try to get as close to him as possible. My faith is in what I believe and what I believe will be evident in my life and how I treat and respond to people and life situations. Read James 2:18. I labor to believe and allow Christ to work in me and through me. He that began a good work in me is faithful to complete it. Read Philippians 1:6. My belief is where I find the Sabbath resting place. The place where I cease from trying to keep myself pure before God. When I stop and believe that Christ has taken my sins and he sits with God praying for me that's where that Sabbath place of rest lies. It is in whatever day I choose to believe. Read Hebrews 4:9-11.

JESUS LOVES YOU!

Jesus loves you, he cares about you, and he wants you to know him. He came to Earth, God's word wrapped in flesh(John 1:14), to do what we could not do; save us from our sins and give us a life of freedom(John 3:17), despite what it may look like. He is the way the truth and the life and you need to know him in order to reach the father(John 14:6). Here at Revelation ministries we aim to point you in that direction to give you a hunger to know who Jesus is for yourself because we can't save you but we can direct you to the saviour. We can't give you the power and encounter of the Holy Spirit but we can direct you to the one who left the holy spirit for our Comfort(John15:26). It's not about Fame, it's not about stuff or money, or how successful you can be on Earth. It's about knowing without a shadow of a doubt you have a place in God's Kingdom and not only that but you can live out his kingdom here on Earth through Jesus Christ our Saviour, the only name by which we can be saved(Acts4:12); from ourselves, from the ways of the world, from bondage in our minds, our hearts and our bodies. Jesus came to set us free(Galatians5:1) and if any man is in Christ he is a new creation(2Corinthians5:17) and if the son sets you free you are free indeed(John8:36). 

Every person wants to know who they are, what their purpose is, and why they were created. Why not return to the source to the Creator of heaven and earth. Find out who he is. Start there and he will reveal who you are in him. Ask God the Hard questions. Tell him you don't understand. Then give Him a chance to answer. Search his word, seek godly counsel from a child of God who's fruit you can see, the fruits of the Holy Spirit, good fruit( love, joy, peace, patient, faithful, gentle, kind And having self control) keep your distance from the bad fruit(anger, selfishness, hatred, confusion)(Galatians 5:13-26). No one is perfect but in Christ all things are made new. If Christ will do the separating and the gathering of those who truly want him surely he can change us to be more like him and less like the world. The choice is yours, life or death; Christ's way or the world (Satan), period. 

We are to live at peace with all men but by my self I fail. In Christ and him alone I am able to do all things when I allow him to strengthen me(Philippians 4:13). Be blessed and know if you confess your sins to Christ and desire change he will forgive you. Believe he is the son of God who died for you and you will be saved. Follow him and know him and your life will never be the same. We love you but God loves you best.

The Book of Matthew, Chapter 1, Verse 2

Continuing on from Matthew chapter 1 verse 1 we will begin to dig into the generation or lineage of Jesus Christ. We'll see how Father God used imperfect people to be the example of a perfect God. I thought we were going to be able to group scriptures together and just pick out key points from a collection of scriptures but Father showed me that each verse needs to be addressed individually. There will be a lot of references from the old testament to give understanding to the lineage and we're not going to insert every verse. We encourage you to grab your bible so you can follow along and read for yourself from whatever Bible reference you are comfortable with. This is leading up to something GREAT!

Matthew chapter 1 verse 2 reads "Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judah and his brethren;". Begat means to bring into existence by the process of reproduction [Google]. This verse will be broken into three parts. May God bless his word and teach us what He wants us to know. In Jesus name, Amen!

Part 1

    Abraham begat Isaac therefore Isaac is Abraham's son. Isaac was a true gift from God and he was not easily begotten. To better understand this we're going back to Genesis 14, 15, 16, 17, 21, and 22. Follow along and ask God to give you godly wisdom and understanding.

    In Genesis chapter 14{read} Abram just defeated some bullies that had taken one of his relatives. Abraham was able to save his relative and return goods that belonged to some neighboring Kings. Abram gave God the glory and would not accept the reward for returning the goods. After this God blessed Abram and allowed a him to ask for a reward directly from God. 

    

    Genesis 15 verses 1 through 3 reads, "After these things the word of the Lord came unto Abram in a vision, saying, fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward. And Abram said, Lord God what will thou give me, seeing I go childless and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus? and Abram said, behold, to me thou has given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir." Abram had no children and had been unable to have children so that was his one request of God, so that he wouldn't have to leave his possessions to his servant. God then made Abram a promise and Abram believed God which shows what God counts as righteousness. Genesis 15 verses 4 through 6 reads, "and, behold, the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, this shall not be thine heir, but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir. And he brought him forth a broad, and said, look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, so shall thy seed be. And he believed in the Lord and he counted it to him for righteousness." God told Abraham that he would bring forth a child out of his own body and he wouldn't have to leave his things to his servant. God even said that he would have more children than he would be able to count. Then because Abraham believed God, God counted Abram as righteous.

    Was God specific enough in His promise to Abram? Genesis 16 verse 1 says, "Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar." God was not specific in the timing of His promise and Sarai allowed her impatience to be a distraction. Sarai thought she would help the process by giving her servant to Abram and have children through her. Abram agreed because Hagar had a son and named him Ishmael. What trouble this caused but you will have to read that for yourself to see how we can make a mess of things and only delay God's promise.

    

    In Genesis 17 God specifically says in verse 19-21,"And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him. And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation. But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year." God made it clear that Isaac is the one God will have a covenant with. He didn't forget about the first born son and blessed him as well. This time he gave reference to a time frame for the promise for Abraham and Sarah. God really wanted them to get this and previously changed both Abram and Sarai's name to reflect his promise to make them a father and mother of many nations, Genesis 17: 5,6 & 15,16{read}.

    Let's skip ahead to Genesis 21:1-5 it reads, "And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken. For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him. And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac. And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him. And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him." So after Abraham is 100 years old he and Sarah have their promise. God keeps his word.

    Remember how Abraham believed God, but then he took matters in his own hands. He didn't stop believing God, Abraham just couldn't see what God could see. I believe if we just trust God in the promise and stop trying to work out all the details and timing God will show himself trustworthy, mighty, strong, and faithful to preform His own words. The best example of this is found in Genesis 22: 1-3 and reads, "And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am. And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of. And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him." Ok, wait so in my mind I'm thinking, you want me to take the promise, the one you said you will establish your covenant with, the one whose seed after him you will use. How can you use his seed if he doesn't get the chance to produce seed? Abraham however, got up early and journeyed to the place God told him and prepared to sacrifice his promise from God. Surely Abraham thought what the same thing I did. I believe at this point Abraham trusted God so deeply and truly he knew somehow God would keep his word. Abraham was all in and about to complete the sacrifice when the Angel of the Lord called out to him in Genesis 22:12 " And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me. And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son." Once again God did not take back His promise.

    Today we can read the first and second part of  Matthew chapter 1 verse 2,  "Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob" because God had a plan even in Genesis. Genesis is defined as the origin or mode of formation of something[Google]. Part 2 coming soon. Be blessed!

Where I Belong.

Doesn't matter where I go, I belong to you.

Makes no difference where I live, I belong to you.

Shackled in chains or free as can be, I belong to you.

People can say what they want about me, I belong to you.

Brown skin, light skin, dark skin, white skin, I belong to you.

Inside a building or outside on the street, I belong to you.

Lifting my voice or whispering a prayer, I belong to you.

Forgiving others even when it's not fair, I belong to you.

My Father, my King, my Friend, I belong to you.

WHY?

Why is it so hard to believe in Jesus Christ?

Why do we have to know all the "facts", compare this scripture to that scripture?

Why is it not enough to know Jesus died for the sins of the world?

Why is something so simple dividing everyone it was meant to unite?

Why do we make things so complicated and miss out on the true benefits of what has been given?

Why do we believe the news and the internet, but struggle with the news of Jesus Christ?

Why is it Jesus was killed in the worst way possible but we are not spreading his name and injustice?

Why is what we want more important than what Jesus wants for us?

Why do people try so hard to prove Jesus is not who He says He is?

Why is it so hard to believe that love is the greatest action and command?

Why do we have a form of God but deny His power?

WHY?

Give Me Jesus

Give me Jesus, the word that became flesh

Give me Jesus, Immanuel, God with us

Give me Jesus, Christ-anointing, Messiah- saviour

Give me Jesus, who came to set me free

Give me Jesus, my redeemer

Give me Jesus, the chief corner stone the builders rejected

Give me Jesus, Prince of peace, King of kings, Lord of lords

Give me Jesus, full of mercy and grace

Give me Jesus, who suffered and died to shed his blood for me

Give me Jesus, who rose from the dead

Give me Jesus, he's coming back again

Give me Jesus, or leave me in peace

The Book of Matthew, Chapter 1, Verse 1

   Matthew 1 verse 1 reads"The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham."

   

      Jesus 'son of David, son of Abraham' was born into a lineage of imperfect people. Google describes lineage as lineal (line) descent from an ancestor; ancestry or pedigree. Lineage in the bible is important but not just to know the bloodline. It is also to see prophesy(before told events to come) unfold.

   

     To understand why Jesus is called the son of Abraham we have to go back to the beginning. In Genesis 18 verse 17-18 it reads, "And the Lord said, shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed by him?" God spoke of, Abraham as a great and mighty nation and of ALL nations of the earth. This was before the children of Israel became the 12 nations. I believe God had a plan for all people from the very beginning and He did not limit himself or Abraham's purpose. The previous chapter, Genesis 17 God changed  Abraham's name from Abram to Abraham because God made him a father of many nations. 

     Jesus son of David is referenced from Isaiah 9 verse 7 which reads "Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal(great energy or enthusiasm in pursuit of a cause or an objective) of the LORD of hosts will perform this." Here God is saying He is the only one that can cause the throne of David to continue on. God will perform the increase, keep the the peace, bring order, and establish it with judgment and justice forever. Due to this Jesus is referred to as 'The Son of David.' With that in mind in Matthew 22 verses 43-46, Jesus asked the Pharisees a question, "Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David. He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? If David then call him Lord, how is he his son? And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions." Though Jesus was referred to by the believers as 'son of David' I believe he was trying to make a very strong point here and cause them to think more on who Christ really is. 

    It is hard to imagine that Jesus did not have a biological 'birth' father of flesh. That just does not even seem possible. It makes no since, however He only spoke of one as his father. Do you know that Father? John 14 verse 7, “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.” That is to say if you know Jesus, then you also know his father. As we go further in the book of Matthew I pray it will bring clarity to all you have just read.

    Please take the time to read these scriptures for yourself and ask God to show you what He will have you to know. Ask for his understanding and godly wisdom to teach you the depth of His word. God wants us to understand the mysteries of the bible, however I believe He also knows who really wants to know Him. So for however long it takes with help from the Holy Spirit we will dig deep into the life of Jesus Christ; son of David, Son of Abraham, the only birthed son of God. God bless!

Scripture Points for Who is Who, What?

    If you haven't thought it yourself you may have been asked, "who are you?". Common answers consists of skin tone, your last name, who your parents are, where you were born, what you do for a living, or how society sees you. Depending on what the answer would be it usually sets minimal limits or high exaltation on ones self.

   

     I actually used a lot of scripture in the expression so I will pull that out first. 'I thank God that if any man be in Christ he is a new creation'. This came from 2Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature(NKJ): old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." It helps to read more so I encourage you to start at the beginning of 2Corinthians 5 or at least around 5:15 and take it all in.    

    

     Next line, 'I have been made new in Christ Jesus and therefore he has given me the power to become a son of God.' This is my favorite. You must read John 1:1-14 but here I want to pull out verses 11-13. It reads, " He came unto his own(Jews/Israelites), and his own received him not. But as many as (this refers to no particular people, it's whoever) received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believed on his name.Which were born, not of blood(same family line), nor the will of the flesh(intercourse), nor the will of man(man's power), but of God." Jeremiah 32:27 "Behold, I am the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?" God is the creator of all people but when we receive and believe in Jesus, He becomes our Father. The relationship becomes more intimate.

    From the line, 'I speak therefore I believe and I don't care what you think.' 2Corinthians 4:13 "We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak." Again, I encourage you to read the entire chapter to gain greater understanding. You should always pray and ask God for: understanding in His word, who He is, and what he wants you to know.

    The last scriptures were not directly in the expression but it helps sum things up. Matthew 16:24 "Then said Jesus unto his disciples, if any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it." Galatians 3:27-28 "For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus." It does not matter what you look like, where you were born or raised, if you are a man or a women. Not one person is better or greater than another no matter what you have done in life. Galatians 4:7 "Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ."

Inspiration of She is the Same.

Forgive my delay. Everything We post will be based off of God's word or inspired by it. We believe Hebrews 4:12, "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart". If the writtings do not include scripture points we will follow up with them in a separate post. Thank you for reading, following, or sharing and we pray that your life is made new in Jesus name.

    The inspiration for the poem She is the Same is about wisdom. Google describes wisdom as "the quality of having experience, knowledge, and good judgment; the quality of being wise." Proverbs is filled with verses about wisdom and how we should treat wisdom and get wisdom. I will give the full verse of a few and then the location of others for your own study. Proverbs 1:2 To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding.  Proverbs 1:20 Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets. Proverbs 2:2, 3:13. Proverbs 7:4 Say unto wisdom thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman: Proverbs 8:11, 11:12,. Proverbs 15:33 The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility. Proverbs 31:26. Ecclesiastes has a lot of great verses on wisdom as well. For example; Ecclesiastes 7:12 and 7:19 Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men which are in the city. All from King James Version.

Who is Who, What?

I am glad that God made me who I am. I'm glad to know God has a chosen people even though we continue to be ungrateful and turn our back on God and yet feel entitled. Who we are is not a secret, as I can read and have read every word. However, my hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness. I thank God that if any man be in Christ he is a new creation. What I was; Israelite, Jew, African, Hamite, red, yellow, brown, black, or white. I am not the color of my skin, the job I work, or the country I was born in. I have been made new in Christ Jesus and therefore he has given me power to become a son of God. I love God, my father with all that I am and I love my fellow man. Nothing is more important to me than that. I speak therefore I believe and I don't care what you think. I know my father and he knows me. Anyone can know where they came from and still be lost not knowing where they're going. Just give me Jesus or give me nothing at all. 

She Is The Same.

She is a crown of gold filled with priceless gems. Wear her with integrity and confidence. 

She is a modest song, reverence and Truth flow from her lips. Hear her with understanding and patience.

She is a fragrance permeating lavender and spice after every step. Breathe her deeply with comfort and healing.

She is covered in glory and righteousness. Behold her beauty with awe and wonder.
