Encouragement & Scriptures from our Lord Jesus
❤️A Pearl The Lord Laid Upon My Heart Today ~
To the exact measurement you die to self, I will dwell within you, as you abide in Me. I have set you forth into the World as a “plumbline” ~ a measuring rod, in that whatever others do or don’t do unto you, for good or evil, they actually are rendering unto Me.
The World and even the religious vainly say, in pride, “I am judge.” But the truth is, as you surrender your whole self unto Me, it is not you judging, but rather Me judging through you, My vessel of love.
I judge perfectly ~ you are to judge no man.
Through you, many are weighed in the balance, only to be found wanting, because you have already been weighed, wanting only Me, surrendering your all.
Tell them, time is short, in which I will weigh no more and all will be set in unaltered stone.
Glory to the Lord. Amen.
❤️Today’s Pearl ~
To worship {adore & revere} in Spirit & Truth means…
Our WALK matches our TALK and we are no longer labeled a hypocrite.
This is also why He says, “It is better to be cold or hot, than lukewarm,” because no MINGLING is present.
We then arrive at a place where we no longer say, “Lord, Lord,” because our hearts are continually upon Him, crying Abba Father, day and night. At this point our heart takes over what was previously only understood in the mind.
He is only fully KNOWN by love.
As we lay down every weight, which burdens us, we walk in the truth of Him, in which love has no end and no beginning.
We gradually move to envelope into the fiery flame of His love, melting into the sweet surrender of Him alone.
We die and He abides, as only He is pure Spirit & Truth.
We can only really worship Him in Spirit & Truth when we are truthful with ourselves.
To know Him, is to love Him and to love Him is seeing fully with the eyes of our hearts, void of self.
Wondering…
IF we really did believe Jesus’s words, then would we stop judging and actually loving those we deem evil?
IF we believed… Mercy given to others is how we earn mercy from the Father, we would likely show mercy more to our enemies.
You know why? Because it would benefit self.
All these posts condemning others grieves my Spirit, I can only imagine how the Lord feels, if it is hurting my heart, what is it doing to His?
Who do you hate because they sin differently than you?
That very well could be the one you are called to bless rather than curse.
And then again… We would, IF it benefited self.
❤️Be merciful, just as your Father in Heaven is merciful.
Luke 6:36
My truth…
I am in deep distress. Let us fall into the hands of the Lord, for His mercy is great; but do not let me fall into human hands.
2 Samuel 24:14
IF we do not love those we can see, it is impossible we love the One we cannot.
Lord please remove this heart of stone from us, replacing it with Your tender heart, in that we see all people the same… Weak and in need of a Savior, like You.❤️
?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 truth is… I used to be a “Fault Finder.”
I guess you could say these days I would be considered more of a “Recovering Fault Finder.”
In other words, I have seen the error of my ways, but seeking the fault of others is a temptation I deal with daily. Just like any addiction, some days it is moment by moment I have to overcome and push past this temptation.
So, do I know the litany of a fault finder? Oh yes, this is something I know all too well. Funny how once you do actually see the faultiness of yourself, it becomes way more easy to spot it in another. This is when we must not fall into the trap to partake once again… Oh just one more “hit”… How tempting it is, especially when most all of those around you partake daily, beckoning you to join them.
I often joke about how hard it is for me not to “Judge the Judger’s…” And although I may joke about it, this is a real struggle for me.
I see myself standing up now in a crowd declaring… “Hi, my name is Angela, I am a fault finder. I have been a fault finder since birth and the last time I looked for a fault in someone was about 30 seconds ago.” I am giggling over here, because sometimes the truth is amusing and to be real is much better than to portray a lie.
Before you get too concerned for me, I need to explain something. Most recently I have been under extreme scrutiny by so many. The reasons are not important, but rather the results are something only the Lord can perform. I started one writing titled ~ You Don’t Know Me ~ Because for the past several weeks it is like I have been under a proverbial microscope of scrutiny, even by those who love me very much and they truly believe they “Know” what is best for me. I must admit I was getting a little frustrated, so I kept going to the Lord and telling Him that I understand their hearts are in the right place, but they do not know the “Fullness” of me or my life or even my current situation… I would tell Him, only You know this fullness Lord, only You are My Answer, as You hold the key to my heart. Comfort came when I understood, even this is purposed. It is purposed that only the One Who created, knows His creation, being me and you, all of us.
He then began to show me glimpses of me and in times past I have done the same to others. Sigh… Yep, guilty as charged.
You are truly reading the penning of a recovering faultfinder who is in full repentance mode. And as a result of me acknowledging my own wrongs, I am slowly able to not only cease faultfinding more easily, but dislike it so much that I will refuse it more often than partake when others are doing the same. I am celebrating my recovery in Jesus, knowing without Him I could not overcome not one single temptation. I really believe He is starting to clean me up a little, changing my heart and what it desires. ? All glory really goes to HIM, because separate of HIM, I really, really can do nothing.
Anyway, some of you may be wondering what a “Fault finder,” actually is?
These people are grumblers and faultfinders; they follow their own evil desires; they boast about themselves and flatter others for their own advantage. Jude 1:16
A FAULTFINDER is actually someone who feels appointed to point out the faults of others. Some are even convinced the Lord has placed this command upon them to do so [which was me], while others just enjoy pointing out the shortcomings of others in order to make themselves feel better because they have a low self esteem. Regardless, this act is forbidden and ungodly as we follow the example Jesus set before us. When we are following in His footsteps, we truly will not do anything or say anything He did not do. It is a stretch at best to find Jesus, the most perfect One, pointing out the faults of anyone, except the faultfinders themselves. Funny how that works. One example would be the woman caught in adultery, Jesus ignored their requests to condemn and stone her, instead telling them to cast a stone if they had no sin. They definitely had the characteristics of a faultfinder.
A faultfinder will try to “catch” another in a wrong, point it out to those they believe are “holy” to stain the reputation of the one who’s guilt is obvious.
This is why I cannot stay in position of being a faultfinder any longer:
So I pray these words resonate within your life, just as they did mine. The Lord has been so very gracious to each of us, something we should never take for granted or expect. He tells us mercy given is mercy received. As we show mercy to one another, He in turn grants us mercy for all of our shortcomings and I have many. Maybe, just maybe if we would all embrace this truth the World would be a better place, a kinder place to indwell until that day, when all things become new. When those like me, shed this veil of faultfinding and walk fully upright in His glory.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
As it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
If I surrender to His Will;
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life
And supremely happy with Him
Forever and ever in the next.
Amen.
May The Lord Bless You In His Love,

?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.
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.
?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.
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.
19 The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath 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.
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.

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:
|
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.
As a matter of fact, I did just that myself and below is a list of qualities of what the Lord’s wisdom does as activated within a Child of God:
Proverbs 1-9 ~~~ Knowing Wisdom
When we become one with Wisdom…. We become one with THE ONE… Our Creator Father. Amen.
May The Lord Bless You Abundantly With His Wisdom,
In His Love,
Angela ~ Marked By Heaven?
Do you know what the first sin was that was committed after the fall? Some of you already do know, but for those who don’t, it is very eye opening.
Keeping in mind FRUIT came from THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL
JESUS IS THE TREE OF LIFE so this helps us to understand that lucifer is the tree of knowledge of good and evil and it was HIM who opened the eyes of Adam and Eve by what they ATE or rather what they PARTOOK OF AND LET INTO THEM.
For the sake of precepts, let’s say that anything we TAKE INTO US by watching, listening to and reading… Contains SEEDS and those SEEDS produce FRUIT in our lives for the good or the bad, depending upon the source. Lucifer took HIS FRUIT – knowledge of good and evil, offered it to Eve and she took it inside her when she willingly accepted it into her, so she now shared in something only known by lucifer and our Father, of course… That being, coming into the knowledge there was both GOOD AND EVIL on Earth. She lost her innocence at that moment and THEN… She offered some of what was in her to Adam and he as well, rebelled and disobeyed and therefore received the impure portion of Eve into himself and he became tainted… They then BECOME ONE FLESH IN SIN, where before the fall in rebellion THEY WERE ONE FLESH IN PURITY.
So… I am trying to keep this simple so you can see what really was birthed that day… That which is carried forth AS SEEDS, PRODUCING FRUIT, from generation to generation… Hence, the curse we are all born under.
Genesis 3:2-14
The serpent was the craftiest of all the creatures the Lord God had made. So the serpent came to the woman. “Really?” he asked. “None of the fruit in the garden? God says you mustn’t eat any of it?” “Of course we may eat it,” the woman told him. [It is our choice to rebel] “It’s only the fruit from the tree at the center of the garden that we are not to eat. God says we mustn’t eat it or even touch it, or we will die.” “That’s a lie!” [Accuser] the serpent hissed. “You’ll not die! God knows very well that the instant you eat it you will become like him, for your eyes will be opened—you will be able to distinguish good from evil!” The woman was convinced. How lovely and fresh looking it was! [Evil is appealing to allure us] And it would make her so wise! So she ate some of the fruit and gave some to her husband, and he ate it too. And as they ate it, suddenly they became aware of their nakedness, and were embarrassed. [Shame always makes us want to cover ourselves] So they strung fig leaves together to cover themselves around the hips. That evening they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden; and they hid themselves among the trees. The Lord God called to Adam, “Why are you hiding?”And Adam replied, “I heard you coming and didn’t want you to see me naked. So I hid.” “Who told you you were naked?” the Lord God asked. “Have you eaten fruit from the tree I warned you about?” “Yes,” Adam admitted, “but it was the woman you gave me who brought me some, and I ate it.” Then the Lord God asked the woman, “How could you do such a thing?” “The serpent tricked me,” she replied.
BLAME AND SHAME GO HAND IN HAND…
When you just read the account in Genesis, did you see what was the subtle knowledge Eve was tempted with? It was the KNOWING OF GOOD AND EVIL. Once she came into agreement with lucifer by receiving what he offered her, her eyes were then opened that ADAM was both good and evil. Before she only saw the GOOD IN HIM. Then because she passed this knowledge onto him, he took it from her – received it [ate of it] he then saw her as being both good and evil, as well.
I hope you are getting this… Look what was born…. BLAME carried forth because of SHAME. This is why we must guard our hearts at all times and be so very careful who we come into agreement with. Because we now KNOW GOOD AND EVIL just like Adam and Eve, we too can be ensnared to partake and become an accuser of the brethren, resembling the accuser himself. Or rather producing his fruit, which is in opposition to Jesus, which is love.?
The temptation offered to us in these days is THE WORLD. Entertainment, News, Revelation, etc… Are all set before us as a snare to partake in, so that we too will accuse and blame.
Pure love to overlook the flesh deeds of another died that day. Very sad… So now the curse is we SEEK TO SEE THE EVIL IN EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING AROUND US when in truth, just like Jesus does with us ~ we are to LOVE ONE ANOTHER because LOVE AND ONLY LOVE COVERS A MULTITUDE OF SINS. Our sins and other’s sins.
This makes me cry… For some reason it breaks my heart in longing, to be in the original design of the Garden again, before my own eyes were opened to both evil and good. It is only by being born again, through the Spirit, that we may overcome and attain the very innocence of returning to our first appointment with LOVE.
I just have to show you again, by the Word, about blame… the first sin committed tells us everything.
The enemy did not even lie to them when he said they would not SURELY die, because they didn’t… falling and dying are two different things totally. Instead their eyes were open, just as Father told them what would happen, it happened. Spiritually they died when their flesh fell and the same holds true for us.
Before the fall, Adam and Eve loved one another regardless of their shortcomings or rather NAKEDNESS, but after they disobeyed the Lord they immediately wanted to COVER their shortcomings, even if it meant blaming one another and the serpent.
Because of rebellion, we all are not seeing clearly and it is only through the dying of self daily this curse no longer has a hold on us.
Why did Lucifer fall? Pride
What tactics does he use on us so that we partake in them with him causing us to fall? Blame
How does he keep us bound to the fallen state? Shame
Love is always a CHOICE?
I encourage you to go back and read the account in Genesis I shared, again. But, this time read it with Spiritual eyes to see, in order the glean the wisdom granted to you through the Holy Spirit. As you read again, understand that THE GARDEN in this story is THE WORLD and you, just as Adam and Eve were placed within the Garden, so are you placed within the World. Ask the Lord to show you how you have fallen and covered yourself, as you partook what the enemy has so subtly offered to you. Has it changed you? Do you no longer operate from a place of pure love, one to another to the point you are now in agreement with the accuser? Do you feel as if you have enough KNOWLEDGE about someone or something that you can even accuse them as your brethren?
I saw one of the most heartbreaking statements from a church leader no less, the other day. It said… “Let us not unify in love alone, but in Jesus…” This totally broke my heart for this person and I thought, he does not know Jesus at all. Jesus is love and we can never, ever separate the two. Anything done without love is done in vain for the glory of self. My eyes were open that day to the truth of so many people in the World today. Did I say anything or accuse him? No, I remained silent, as who am I to point out the weakness of another? However, I was promptly lead to intercede and pray all the more for this person and any others who do not KNOW, LOVE HIMSELF. For sadly, I know on that day, Jesus will say, “Depart from me, I NEVER KNEW YOU.” And to me, that is the most fearful thing I never want to hear.
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 1 John 4:7-8
It is my prayer that each one of you will experience the fullness of falling in love with Jesus.
May the Lord Bless You with His Love,
