More or Less of Me

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

Examine your heart, thoughts, choices, desires, and emotions. If you do not have more Love, more peace, more stillness, more patience, more kindness, more concern for others, more forgiveness for those in your life, more compassion for those who have hurt you, more humility, more love-filled Wisdom, more direction, more of My Presence that is detectable within you, more of My Voice in your thoughts, more purity in your soul today than you had two months ago, two weeks ago, two days ago, then you do not have Me. Galatians 5:16-26 16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery, 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.

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.

A Consuming Fire

Jealousy is an all consuming fire. The irony of jealousy is that it destroys both the one who is jealous and the object of that one’s desire. Proverbs 14:30 A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones. Proverbs 27:4 Anger is cruel and fury overwhelming, but who can stand before jealousy? James 3:14 But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. 15  Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.16 For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. 1 Corinthians 3:3 You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere humans? 1 Corinthians 13:4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
