Many declare that they desire the wisdom of God. True Wisdom brings revelation knowledge directly from the LORD. God has revealed many mysteries of His Holy Word to me. Some were very frightening indeed. As I fearfully pondered one such mystery, God consoled my soul by explaining that it was what I needed to know in order to move forward as His Messenger. He asked me to read the scriptures that are shown below. He pointed out to me that I was not alone in what I had discovered, and that when King Solomon discovered the same mystery. He too, was distraught to the point that he declared, “Vanity of Vanities, all is Vanity.” He, like I, came to know and understand that even in the midst of the darkest and most dangerous journeys, God never leaves us alone. We never become lonely, and He always brings us to a place of safety and peace. In our lack of understanding and fear, we ultimately conclude that our minds and knowledge are insufficient in trying to cope with what awaits all those that do not love God.
In all that you do, Trust God. There is nothing good in this life outside of God. There is no existence or survival without God on your side. Make Him your everyday companion. Seek Him every second of the day! He will teach you how to worship Him in Spirit and in Truth…and as One. Amen.
Scripture Reference: Eccl 1:12-18
12 I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem. 13 And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith. 14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit. 15 That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered. 16 I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have been before me in Jerusalem: yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge. 17 And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit. 18 For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.

Do you realize how much The LORD loves YOU! The God who created all things is madly in love with you. Every day, I discover and understand the love of God in ways that I could never imagine before. Consider the true story below:
“Tell him that I love him:”
A few weeks ago, I was having trouble with my laptop. I knew that I needed to get it repaired immediately as I was leaving the country in a few days and would need it while I was away. I began to search on Google for a service center that could help me with short notice. I immediately found a nearby shop that could see me that day. As I spoke to the gentleman on the phone, I encountered a “spirit” that I could not identify at the time. It was informative, yet aloof; semi-kind yet rude. When I arrived for my appointment, I was greeted and assisted by a very personable young man. This was clearly not who I had spoken to over the phone. There was another gentleman there that appeared to be the boss. He was very demanding of his employees and seemed to micromanage their every move. I inquired of the whereabouts of the gentleman that I had spoken to on the phone, as I had gotten his name. Not surprisingly, the gentleman on the phone was the same as the man that appeared as the boss. He was the boss.
At the end of the service visit, some 5 hours later since the laptop had to be left with them, I noticed a sign in the shop that appeared to be of a Christian nature. The “boss” had begun to introduce me to various types of software that would be helpful to me in the real estate business, and my husband and I listened attentively. Suddenly, the conversation changed to life issues regarding the government and how he believed that “Big Brother” was forever watching our every move. On the surface of what he was saying I had no objections, but spiritually I knew there was more to the story. I found this man to be extremely intelligent and very well read. He was educated and boasted of his knowledge as a neurophysicist. He continued to talk about various subjects that further demonstrated his vast knowledge of the physical world. I looked at the poster again and I asked him if he was a Christian. He hesitated slightly and then said he was neither a Christian nor an Atheist. He explained himself as a man of wisdom that looks at everything based on scientific fact. Our conversation was too detailed to recap it all here, but I then knew why God had sent me to this place.
God had a message for this man. I was instructed to let him know that Jesus loves him no matter what he believes. No matter what I said to him, he would ignore my words and wanted only to debate the reality of the true existence of God. I refused to debate. I was able to honestly say to him that I did not have to debate because I am “absolutely” sure that God is real. I explained that I do not rely on the words or testimonies of others as I have personally seen and heard the voice of God Almighty. I explained that there is nothing that he could say that could change my mind as I KNOW that my God IS God! We ended this conversation with me begging him to go to my website and read my testimony to understand how I came to “Know” absolutely that Jesus Christ is the living son of God and that God is real. He promised me that he would. By the end of our conversation, I saw the human spirit within this man that had an unspoken yearning to know if I was speaking the truth.
Since that day, I am compelled to pray for him daily. I only pray that God’s will is accomplished in his life. I do not know what will happen. But I do know, even while he was denying the existence of my LORD, God was holding an outstretched arm trying to pull this man into His presence. Today, the LORD shared with me that this man has been chosen by him to be a Messenger to this dying Christian world! He will continue to pull at his heart until he accepts. O LORD God, what an awesome loving act this is.
How can this real life story encourage us all? Know that God is love. He has the answer to all our problems. He has a purpose for this man. Does He have one for you? Humble yourself to gain a true relationship with Jesus Christ. There is no other hope in this world.
The devil is deceiving the people of God daily. Do not be caught in his trap. Do not think of yourself as better than this man. He has lived as he has lived by the grace of God and NOW God Almighty will mold him and equip him with “absolute” truth. Truth that he has no knowledge of, but truth that he will soon come to love and adore.
Be aware of the influence of evil disguised as good! A few days after my encounter with the man, I was in a church service and saw the people lifting up their hands and praising God! They sang beautiful, melodious songs unto the Lord God. The LORD began to speak to me and said, “Look at them my child. They lift up their hands, they shout, and they praise. But they do not praise me. They do not worship me. Their hearts are far from me!” God shared that the man at the computer shop would more quickly convert to loving Him completely than the hypocrites that were pretending to love Him. “O LORD God,” I cried! “Have mercy on us, LORD. Help us to learn what it means to love and worship you with ALL of our soul.” Be careful that you give no place to the devil within your heart. This can only be completed through surrendering everything to God in prayer! You can never resist the devil and he will never flee until you surrender all. Amen.
Scripture Reference for Meditation and Obedience:
Our fight in this world is not against flesh and blood. We are not to fight against each other. We are called to love each other as God loves us. Do not wrap yourself up in the politics of this world. Lean unto the LORD for all the wisdom that you need. Your one true purpose in life is to fall in love with Jesus Christ, My Lord, and Savior. Fighting each other will produce no spiritual fruit in our lives. Loving the Lord God by trusting and obeying His commands will yield an overflowing of spiritual knowledge and blessings. Remember, everything “spiritual” is NOT from God. Satan is a spirit whose purpose is to present himself as God in our lives.
1 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? 2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. 4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. 5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? 6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. (James 4:1-8)
