Demands, Temper and Drama

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

Untrained children try to control others through demands, temper, and drama. They must be disciplined or they will grow to be a partner of the destroyer. They will blindly leave a path of pain and destruction behind them rather than My mercy and grace. They teach fear and pride rather than peace. They demand rather than follow Me. Do not do as they do. Repent and humbly ask Me to show you the way of My Love. I will deliver you from evil and turn you away from the tempter. Repentance begins the process. You will gain peace and real Life. Matthew 6:13 And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go [teaching him to seek God’s wisdom and will for his abilities and talents],Even when he is old he will not depart from it. Psalm 34:11 Come, you children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD. Hebrews 12:7 It is for discipline that you endure; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline? 3 John 1:4 I have no greater joy than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth. Galatians 5:19-21  19 Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, 21 envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. 24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

Control over others, demanding, dominating through anger, self-righteous justifications, criticism, and threats is the work of the deceiver. Deceiving spirits cooperate with fear and pride to lie to you and make you think your controlling and demanding is for the good. Do not be fooled. I never work through self-righteous control, fear, and pride. Displays of drama come from your flesh cooperating with evil justifications. Romans 16:17-18 I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.  Galatians 5:19-21  19 Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, 21 envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. 24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 1 Thessalonians 4:6 and that in this matter no one should wrong or take advantage of a brother or sister. The Lord will punish all those who commit such sins, as we told you and warned you before. Romans 16:18 Such people are not serving Christ our Lord; they are serving their own personal interests. By smooth talk and glowing words they deceive innocent people. Luke 16:15 He said to them, You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of others, but God knows your hearts. What people value highly is detestable in God’s sight. Ephesians 6:16-17  In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Flying Lessons

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

The less attachments you have to people and things of earth the more you can soar above the earth with Me on eagle’s wings. The fewer idols in your life, the less you are weighed down by the cares of the world. Let go of all but Me. Then We will soar above the earth and others will see Us. They will come to you for “flying lessons.” Isaiah 40:31 Yet those who wait for the LORD Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary. 2 Corinthians 4:8 We often suffer, but we are never crushed. Even when we don’t know what to do, we never give up. Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things [food, shelter and clothing] shall be added unto you.” Colossians 3:17 And whatsoever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. 1 John 2:15 Do not love the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

Weakness: The Vehicle to Intimacy

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

Let your weakness be your car that drives you deeper into intimacy with Me. Rarely do the rich and strong know Me below surface-level. Rejoice that you are weak. You are more blessed with eternal blessings and fulfillment than the talented, beautiful, educated and earthly powerful. Embrace weakness as you look to Me. It drove you to My Love, as a car drove you to the store. Now you know and have intimacy with me but the strong are satisfied with their strength. Matthew 7:13-14 Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it. Luke 13:23-25 Someone asked him, “Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?” He said to them. Strive to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. Matthew 19:23-24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “I assure you: It will be hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven! 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God

The Secret to Strength

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

When you accept all of My will, your strength will return. Just say, “Father, I accept even this hard to swallow drink from Your Hand.” Say this several times. You will feel the pressure and pain begin to lift and strength return. Acceptance of all My will brings strength for endurance. James 4:10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up Matthew 26:39 Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. 1 Peter 5:6-10 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.  7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.  9 Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings. 10 And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.

You Are Always On My Mind

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

I Am your high priest. I talk to Our Father about you without ceasing. We talk about how much We Love you. We talk about your days and Our Plans for you. We talk about teaching you and taking care of you. We talk about Our enjoyment of you. We are your Loving Family. You are always on Our Minds, in Our Eyes, on Our Lips and in Our Heart. Do not be afraid. We are with you. Hebrews 4:14-16 Well, then, since we have a great high priest who has gone right through the heavens, Jesus,  God’s son, let us hold on firmly to our confession of faith. 15 For we don’t have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every way just as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us then come boldly to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy, and may find grace to help us at the moment when we need it. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you”–this is the LORD’s declaration–“plans for your welfare, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. Psalm 40:5 Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders You have done, and the plans You have for us–none can compare to You–if I would proclaim and declare of them, they are more than could be numbered.

Your Umbilical Cord

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

Even though you are in a valley filled with demon-shadows your umbilical cord is attached to Me. Trust Me and My Light will dispel the darkness. Wait on Me and I will illuminate Truth. No valley continues forever. There is an end. Run from sin. Desire holiness like you desire oxygen. Holiness is a shield against shadow-demons. Keep your shield polished. Trust Our umbilical cord. We never leave you. Do not be afraid of shadows. Psalm 23:4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. Psalm 27:1 The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid? Revelation 3:10 Because you have kept the word of My perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. 2 Peter 2:9 if all this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment. Acts 14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. Ephesians 6:10-12 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God, so that you can make your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world’s darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

They are Only Shadows

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

Do not be afraid when you walk through the valley of the shadow of demons of death and destruction. They are only shadows. A shadow is in the shape of an object but has no power. Shadows can follow you, play tricks on your eyes, deceive you and frighten you but they have no power over your Life-force. I Am your Breath of Life. I determine the length of your days. Matthew 16:19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven 2 Timothy 1:7 For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Psalm 23:4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. Luke 12:25 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? Romans 8:38-3 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 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. Psalm 27:1 The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 111:1 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise. Isaiah 41:10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Cast Out Pride, Loose Love and Compassion

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

Remember your own struggles with sin and faults. Remember desiring mercy and encouragement. Bind and cast out the demons of criticism and pride. Loose humble Love instead. Real Love overlooks faults. Love one another. Matthew 7:3-5 3 Why do you look at the [insignificant] speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice and acknowledge the [egregious] log that is in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me get the speck out of your eye,’ when there is a log in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite (play-actor, pretender), first get the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye. Ephesians 4:32 Be kind and helpful to one another, tender-hearted [compassionate, understanding], forgiving one another [readily and freely], just as God in Christ also forgave you. Leviticus 19:17-18 Do not bear a grudge against others, but settle your differences with them, so that you will not commit a sin because of them. Do not take revenge on others or continue to hate them, but love your neighbors as you love yourself. I am the Lord. Romans 12:15 Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble.

Love Never Fails

Critical thinking becomes deadly when you use it toward another human. Critical thinking then becomes judgmentalism, pride, and criticism. These can bring pain, depression, and hopelessness to the other person. Ask Me to replace your habit of critical thinking with Love, humility, understanding, and compassion. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs. 6 Love takes no pleasure in evil, but rejoices in the truth. 7 It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never fails. 1 Thessalonians 5:14 And we urge you, brothers, to admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, and be patient with everyone. 15 Make sure that no one repays evil for evil. Always pursue what is good for one another and for all people.… Ephesians 4:2-3 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.
