The Greatest Desire

/ Pearls of Wisdom, Posts / / , , ,

Wanting Jesus is the greatest desire you can ever have. To want Him is to want Truth, Love, Life, and freedom. Galatians 5:1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. John 1:14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.  John 15:9-17   9 “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10 If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. 11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. 12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command. 15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit-fruit that will last-and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. 17 This is my command: Love each other.

Are you a pretender?

/ Pearls of Wisdom, Posts / / ,

A pretender to a throne never inherits the throne. He is captured and thrown out of the kingdom. Do not pretend to be one of Mine. Truly come to Me. Receive Truth and it will set you free. I Am Truth. Matthew 7:13–14 22 Then Jesus traveled throughout the towns and villages, teaching as He made His way toward Jerusalem. 23“Lord,” someone asked Him, “will only a few people be saved?” Jesus answered, 24 “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able. 25 After the master of the house gets up and shuts the door, you will stand outside knocking and saying, ‘Lord, open the door for us.’But he will reply, ‘I do not know where you are from.’ 26 Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’ 27 And he will answer, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you are from. Depart from me, all you evildoers.’ 28 There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves are thrown out. People will come from east and west and north and south, and will recline at the table in the kingdom of God. 30 And indeed, some who are last will be first, and some who are first will be last.”

Do not be fooled by pretenders

/ Pearls of Wisdom, Posts / / ,

There are My people who know Me and know Truth. Then there are those who are pretenders. They never knew My Love. They never desired My Love. They desire the love of men rather than Me. Do not be fooled by the pretenders. They are all around. Pray for them that they will desire Me more than men. Acts 5 1 Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property. 2 With his wife’s full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles’ feet.   3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? 4 Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.”5 When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great fear seized all who heard what had happened. 6 Then some young men came forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him. 7 About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8 Peter asked her, “Tell me, is this the price you and Ananias got for the land?” “Yes,” she said, “that is the price.” 9 Peter said to her, “How could you conspire to test the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.” 10 At that moment she fell down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband. 11 Great fear seized the whole church and all who heard about these events.

When you desire and trust My Love . . .

/ Pearls of Wisdom, Posts / / , , , ,

To be Loved by God is the greatest thing in all eternity. Trust in My Love. When you desire and trust My Love then submission to Me will be easier. When you desire and trust My Love then obedience will be easier. When you desire and trust My Love then humility will be easier. When you desire and trust My Love then repentance will be easier. When you desire and trust My Love then receiving hard Truth will be easier. When you desire and trust My Love then receiving healing will be easier. I Love you! Receive My Love and you will receive eternal Life. John 3:16 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Psalm 37:7-9 7 Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. 8 Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret-it leads only to evil. 9 For those who are evil will be destroyed, but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land. Deuteronomy 7:9 9 Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments. 1 John 3:1 1 See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Ephesians 2:4-5 4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions-it is by grace you have been saved. Galatians 2:20 20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me Romans 5:8 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.  Romans 8:37-39 37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Not noticed, realized, or overlooked . . .

/ Pearls of Wisdom, Posts / / , , , , , ,

It is not only the difficult ones whom I want you to Love. Ask Me to show you the ones you have not noticed, overlooked, not realized you have not Loved well. Ask Me to give you a generous supply of Love for them. Love them in My Name and for My sake. When you Love them you are Loving Me. Matthew 25:40 And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’ Proverbs 19:17 Kindness to the poor is a loan to the LORD, and He will repay the lender. Hebrews 6:10 For God is not unjust. He will not forget your work and the love you have shown for His name as you have ministered to the saints and continue to do so.

Two deceiving spirits . . .

/ Pearls of Wisdom, Posts / / , , , , , , ,

There are two spirits deceiving My people: One is that there is Truth to be found in the world of man and his ideas. The other is that I Am far away. Neither are correct Colossians 3:1-3 Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 2 Timothy 2:4 No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his commanding officer. Isaiah 26:1-3 In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: “We have a strong city; He sets up walls and ramparts for security. Open the gates, that the righteous nation may enter,  The one that remains faithful. The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect peace, Because he trusts in You.

Do you want news?

/ Pearls of Wisdom, Posts / / ,

Do you want news? Why hear the deceiving news the world has to offer. Do not quench your boredom by drinking the world’s news. Drink My news. I have plenty of news. Share what I Am doing in you with others so they will drink My news. Listen to My reports of My work. Seek good reports of My Spirit moving around the world. Turn away from the news of darkness and receive the news of Light and Truth. You will be protected from many evils. Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

Breaking the judging habit

/ Pearls of Wisdom, Posts / / ,

Justice and righteousness are only found where there is Truth and mercy. Until you are filled with Truth and mercy you cannot judge another. Do not give in to the temptation. Begin capturing the thoughts of criticism and judging another. Cast the thoughts far away. Put your mind on Me instead. Break the judging habit. Matthew 6:9-13 Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

How to stir up a crowd

/ Pearls of Wisdom, Posts / / , ,

News reports will stir up fear and anger just like motivational speakers stir up a crowd. Turn away and listen to Me instead. Psalms 118:8  [It is] better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. Isaiah 31:1 Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, who rely on horses and trust in chariots because they are many and in horsemen because they are very strong, but they look not to the Holy One of Israel, nor seek and consult the Lord!
