?In order for us to be able to put our complete trust in the Lord He will put us into situations that He will resolve to show us that we can trust Him in all things.  Our trust in Him is important to Him and that is why we are tested in how much we do actually trust Him.  It has to emanate from the heart and not just be words that we speak.  He earns our trust by giving us trials and expects us to learn from them so that we will not be shaken by anything since our total trust is in Him and Him alone.  In our interpersonal relationships trust also has to be earned.  If trust has been established and then broken we are to keep the proper perspective and be very cautious in extending that trust once again.  It can only be reestablished when there is a concerted effort on the part of the person who betrayed that trust to regain the trust that was broken by their actions.  If that doesn’t occur we are to keep our guard up and not extend that trust to the individual.  We can still love a person even if they are untrustworthy just as we can love someone who is living a sinful lifestyle.  So our love for someone can’t be based on trust.  After all, we at times can be untrustworthy towards the Lord yet He never stops loving us.

?The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. Proverbs 9:10

So why would we study WISDOM anyway?  Wisdom is woven into the Bible in every Book, it is something we often gloss right over through the misconception we believe we already have figured out devoid of what wisdom actually is.  After close examination and barely scratching the surface I am awakening to the understanding WISDOM is sadly one of the most overlooked Truths within the Biblical Texts.

It was a stirring within my Spirit, which set me on a journey in search of Wisdom and not viewed by man’s interpretation either, but in total revelation by our Lord.  I caution anyone who also feels a strong desire to further their understanding on Wisdom, be very careful who you listen to.  There are many new agers and ancient agers out there with a full on assault to confuse and deceive the elect children of God and the unsaved as well.

With that being said…  I will refer occasionally to the fact I am gleaning all my teaching through the Hebrew and Greek lexicon found on Blue Letter Bible and the KJV of the Bible, itself.  If I reference another source I will let you know in advance.

The answer to why we would study wisdom is easy…  Because we are told to do so by our Father.

Let’s look at some scriptures first, after that we will define wisdom in the Greek and Hebrew lexicon, as well as man’s dictionary.

We have all been told in Mathew 25 to be as the five wise virgins, have we not?  Let’s take a look into that familiar verse:

 1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

 Lamps: A shining torch fueled with (oil) imparted by the Spirit of Life through the seed)

Virgin: Someone who has abstained from all uncleanness and whoredom through idolatry, and so has kept their chastity for marriage – No idols on the throne of their heart!

Who carries the seed?  The Spirit of Life

Who receives the seed?  The Wise Virgins

The Seed is the Holy Spirit and Wisdom is imparted into the lamp by Him

The Seed carries the characteristics of the Holy Spirit & Jesus – who are One in the Father

² And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

Note: There are wise and unwise in the Kingdom of Heaven, in the following verses we will see exactly what sets them apart from one another.

³ They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

⁴ But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

Oil – Hebrews 1:9  Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows

               ⁵ While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

⁶ And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

⁷ Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

⁸ And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

⁹ But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

¹⁰ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

¹¹ Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.

¹² But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

¹³ Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

• Notice they could not enter without the oil… If it was just simply a door, why did they not enter?
• Please note: They had the outside appearance and the tools to be a virgin, however inwardly they were void.

We see here… without the oil (Seed) inside of us, we simply will not be ready when Jesus comes because our torches will not burn for Him.

Mathew 23

²⁵ Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.

²⁶ Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.

²⁷ Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness.

²⁸ Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

Back to wisdom…..

Proverbs 9

1Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:

² She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.

³ She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,

⁴ Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

⁵ Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.

⁶ Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

⁷ He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.

⁸ Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

⁹ Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

¹⁰ The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

¹¹ For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.

• How are our days multiplied? Through wisdom.

?Wisdom is available for EVERYONE!

Psalm 49

1 Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world:

² Both low and high, rich and poor, together.

³ My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.

• Understanding wisdom can only come through the communication of the heart

James 3:17

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

Proverbs 3

1 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:

² For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.

³ Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:

⁴ So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

⁵ Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

⁶ In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

⁷ Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.

⁸ It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

⁹ Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

¹⁰ So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

¹¹ My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of his correction:

¹² For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

¹³ Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.

¹⁴ For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.

¹⁵ She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.

¹⁶ Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.

¹⁷ Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.

¹⁸ She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.

• If you understand her you will be happy

¹⁹ The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.

• Through her the Earth was found and through her understanding he established the Heavens

²⁰ By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.

²¹ My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:

²² So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.

²³ Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.

²⁴ When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.

²⁵ Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.

²⁶ For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.

²⁷ Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.

²⁸ Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.

²⁹ Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.

³⁰ Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.

³¹ Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.

³² For the froward is abomination to the Lord: but his secret is with the righteous.

• Froward, think and plan against another person
• Secret – Secret council of the anointed and appointed of God, those who are righteous and wise

³³ The curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.

³⁴ Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.

³⁵ The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.

• Glory:

Glorious, abundance, riches, splendor, dignity, reverence, reputation – all granted through HONOR

Can we all agree that wisdom cannot be attained by the flesh or the mind or the soul?  Wisdom, she is a life force, a Spirit, if you will.

For example:  Wisdom gives pure love to the heart like air gives breathe to the lungs.

Let’s look at the Greek and Hebrew roots concerning the word Wisdom.

Wisdom – Sophia is the root name, which is why she is always referred to as female, similar to the way we would not confuse Jesus as a male, Wisdom/Sophia is female… Both created in the image of The One – Our Father who is all things since before time began.  Female in this sense resembles the vessel which contains the seed.

Wisdom performs:

Skill in war, prudence in religious affairs Is ethical and Spiritual in all matters Fully comprehends learning with clarity Shows piety to God without fail Demonstrates submission to the Creator’s will in alignment through mind, will,  actions Centered in one through the chambers of the heart Contains perfect capacities for perceiving and judging

A moral rather than an intellectual quality. To be “foolish” is to be godless (Psa 14:1; Jdg 19:23; 2Sa 13:13). True wisdom is a gift from God to those who ask it (Job 28:12-28; Pro 3:13-18; Rom 1:22; 16:27; 1Cr 1:17-21; 2:6-8; Jam 1:5). “Wisdom” in Pro 1:20; 8:1; 9:1-5 may be regarded not as a mere personification of the attribute of wisdom, but as a divine person, “Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God” (1Cr 1:24). In Mat 11:19 it is the personified principle of wisdom that is meant.

For “wisdom,”Sophia” is in almost every case the original word, the sole exception is in the New Testament being Lu 1:17 (phronesis).

Wisdom is the only-begotten of God (The Wisdom of Solomon 7:22), the effulgence of eternal light (The Wisdom of Solomon 7:26; compare Heb 1:3), living with God (The Wisdom of Solomon 8:3) and sharing His throne (The Wisdom of Solomon 9:4). She is the origin (or “mother”) of all creatures (The Wisdom of Solomon 7:12; compare 8:6), and is active in penetrating (The Wisdom of Solomon 7:24), ordering (The Wisdom of Solomon 8:1), and renewing (The Wisdom of Solomon 7:27) all things, while carrying inspiration to all holy souls (The Wisdom of Solomon 7:23), especially to Israel (The Wisdom of Solomon 10:17,18). Here there is no doubt that the personification has ceased to be rhetorical and has become real. Wisdom is thought of as a heavenly being, not so distinctively personal, perhaps, as an angel, but none the less far more than a mere rhetorical term; i.e. she is a “hypostasis.”

Once we become more familiar with the ways of wisdom, we too will display the characteristics of “Being wise.”  Every answer we could ever seek is found in God’s Word.  To know wisdom is to know God.  If we read Proverbs, Chapters 1-9 we will discover in detail what wisdom will produce as fruit in our own lives.  I encourage you to read these Chapters for yourself and let the Holy Spirit lead and teach you according to how it was written.

LOVE GOES FAR BEYOND WHAT MAN CAN COMPREHEND LOVE IS AS VAST AS THE UNIVERSE YET CAN BE SUMMED UP IN ONE SINGLE WORD ONE NAME JESUS

GOD’S LOVE IS LIKE A MASTERPIECE OF ART A SYMPHONY IN PERFECT TUNE YOUR FAVORITE SONG ON THE RADIO IT ENCOMPASSES YOU IN PERFECT PEACE

This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. John 8:8

Have you ever wondered why Jesus wrote in the sand?  Or pondered even what He wrote?  I believe it was not so much what He wrote, but rather the demonstration He gave in choosing to ignore the accusations being railed towards the woman caught in adultery.

Jesus was purposeful in everything He said and did.  His actions often spoke louder than His words, even to the point of defeating eternal death for all who would come near and know Him as Lord and Savior.

So much of our lives has been spent on sinking sand.  And the times we too have suffered from getting caught in sin, bare and open for the World to see, He is there to join with us, erasing our past in order we may go forward with a clean heart and a clean slate.  I cannot count all the times that just like the Pharisees, others are just waiting for my mess up in order to capture me in their net of accusation.  The truth is…  I am already guilty, broken and full of shame.  And it is because I recognize the lack of me, I can fully embrace the Redeemer Who lives within… Him.

Every single day, Jesus writes in the sand upon the fabric of our lives, making all things new and beautiful in His time.  Even broken messes like me and you,  we are His specialty.  Jesus always gravitated to those in need of Him and He changes not.  What was His true nature then, is still prevalent in how He moves by compassion to embrace those of a broken heart.  As He writes a new word over our lives, what was crushing our souls is turned into a glorious testimony of Him.

The sand represents that which is temporary.  All these struggles, heartaches and disappointments are not joined with our destiny in Jesus.  In His covering love He embraces us and gently begins to love us back into truth.  His truth, not what man says, but what the Lord Himself knows to be true.  Jesus rewrites our past failures with one touch of His hand upon our hearts.

I can only imagine the emotions this woman must have felt as she was presented before the Lord in open shame.  She likely looked down, gazing upon His worn and dirty feet, ready to receive the punishment she already knew she deserved.  If she is at all like me, every accusation railed against was true and if they only knew, time and again she had done worse than that, as a women with a desperate heart for love.  Jesus already knew and it was her desperation that moved Him to embrace her in His love, making her whole.  He is doing the same with us, each time we get caught, He wipes the shame and fear away.

… And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. John 8:11

The truth is ~ This woman found herself that day.  As Jesus removed her out of the clutches of her accusers, she broke free from being an adulterer bound in shame.  She was no longer bound by the weight of sin caused by pleasing others to the place where she lost herself.

She was found, once lost, now found.

Jesus restored her true identity in Him, erasing all the past mistakes which had tainted her vision of who she really was.

For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper. Psalm 72:12

It is my prayer we no longer be shameful of being needy, broken and hurt.  To deny our shortcomings, would be to deny Jesus’s desire to make us clean and new in Him.  Remember this is your story, Jesus is the Author and Finisher of all that is written about you.  Man often sees all our missteps, while Jesus erases them.  So this begs the question…  Just “Who” should we follow after?

May The Lord Bless You In His Love,

So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth. Revelation 3:16

For a little over a week now, I have been hearing these four words continually in my Spirit ~ I AM THE STORM.  There have been others who are hearing these same words, so initially I just passed it off as confirmation.  However, this morning I am sensing He is not going to release me until I fully release what He is giving me, with the Body of Christ.  Messages such as these are even more difficult to deliver than to receive and something I do not take lightly, as I too am working out my own Salvation daily with fear and trembling, standing in awe before Him.

It has been a very long time since I have received such an urgent warning for the Church Body, let alone share it with others.  But, due to the pressing nature of what the Lord has shown me, I am being urged to release this timely word, as a warning of what is and is to come.

He has impressed upon me numerous times of how He is pleading with His people, via physical manifestations upon the Earth and His target are those who are lukewarm, or rather still in the Valley of Decision.  But, before you count yourself out of the gathering of the lukewarm, may I ask…  Have you passed the “Love test?”

When we have passed the “Love test” we have fully received the “Love of the truth.”  Since Jesus is; The Way, THE TRUTH and The Life, as He makes His abode in us as His Temple, we receive into us His love so that as a demonstration of Him on Earth, we pour His love out to others.  What we give love wise is not based on what another may deserve or how they treat us or anything of fleshly benefit to self.  Freely we receive, freely we give, without condition.  Hence, the “Passing of the Love Test.”  Agape at it’s finest?

The danger with being lukewarm is they mix the two into one, however it benefits them.  They are not “Hot” receiving and sharing His love and they are not “Cold” without His love, but rather pick and choose who they show love to with partiality, playing favorites so to speak – they are the most critical self made judges in the church today and because they judge harshly, sadly they will be judged harshly.

This collection of people is who the Father is pleading with at the moment and in turn is who He is commanding I deliver this message to:   Any who are compromised and wavering at the moment, by refusing to take a stand against entertaining evil of any kind and partaking in the evil devices of the enemy.

Salute one another with an holy kiss.  The churches of Christ salute you.  Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.  For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.  For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil.  And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. Romans 16:16-20

The Father is “Marking those who cause division and offense contrary to the Image of His Son, Jesus.”

As He is marking, He is also pleading with His people to separate themselves and come out from among them.

How is He pleading?  I am so glad you asked…  As the whole Earth is experiencing birth pains, which are ever increasing and intensifying, there is a direct correlation between the Earth manifesting storms and such and people’s behaviors.  It is dramatic and telling to the highest degree, if we will just take a moment to sit back and watch.  The Earth is basically manifesting in accordance with the heart conditions of man who resides within.  From our vantage point, it is both great and terrible at the same time.

With that, I will share the revelations He gave me on just how this is all intertwined together as a beautiful display of His Sovereignty crossing over where Spiritual births natural.

• WINDS – Represent the HOLY SPIRIT MOVING UPON THE EARTH as the FATHER IS THE STORM
• FIRES –  Represent people CONSUMING ONE ANOTHER with their lips.
• FLOODS – Represent people overtaken in SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS and SPIRITUAL PRIDE
• VOLCANOES -Represent ANGER ERUPTING in people.
• HAIL – Represents the VERBAL STONES people are throwing at one another.
• EARTHQUAKES – Represent the FAITH OF MANY BEING SHAKEN.
• DROUGHTS -Represent the FAMINE IN THE LAND for the Word of God.
• SICKNESS – Represents the CONDITIONS OF SOULS internally.

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:  That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.  Philippians 2:9-11

?Jesus is the purpose in all things.  May He rule and reign, through love, in our hearts authentically for His perfect will to be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

I too am joining the Father in Spirit and Truth, calling for all to come together in Jesus, Who is Love, as One Body in Him, none of us know just how long until the Father stops pleading with us to let go of all anger, strife and foolish divisions of wrath.  Because, if we do not humble ourselves in such a way, sudden destruction will surely come knocking on our doors and all wrath we have laid upon others as a heavy burden, will in turn come upon us swiftly.

What we sow, therefore we also shall reap.  There has never been a more crucial time as this to continue Sowing the seeds of love?into all, deserving or undeserving in our own eyes.

Every knee will bow to something, it might as well be to truth.  Truth being, Jesus.  Jesus being, Love.

In His Love,
