When we choose to let our natural understanding lead us, we are not fully receiving, and walking in the gifts God has given us. We miss out on so much, because our trust is in what we see, hear, and feel. It gets our focus off the supernatural provision, promises, and gifts the Holy Spirit desires to empower us to walk in. The more we surrender to God’s Word and ways, the more our understanding opens to recognize, believe, and receive God’s revelation truth. “But the natural, nonspiritual man does not accept or welcome or admit into his heart the gifts and teachings and revelations of the Spirit of God, for they are folly (meaningless nonsense) to him; and he is incapable of knowing them [of progressively recognizing, understanding, and becoming better acquainted with them] because they are spiritually discerned and estimated and appreciated.” 1 Corinthians 2:14 AMPC Holy Spirit, expose and bring change to every area of our lives, where we rely on our natural understanding and ability, more than Your supernatural wisdom and strength. Thank You, for helping us recognize and receive all Your teachings, that will instruct us to overcome every obstacle. Blessings, as God exposes and transforms every area of Your life for His GLORY. Love ya’ll, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!

When we receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savour, we receive constant access to the heart of God. We have the very mind of Christ. Our spirits are forever joined to His eternal Life. He has all the knowledge of the past, present, and future. We can know and understand His plans and purposes for us, as well as, all mankind. How do we do this? We do it the same way Jesus discovered who He was. We study God’s Word, and invite Holy Spirit to reveal the true Heart of God. As we read and meditate on it, God’s Word has the power to awaken and change our thoughts to come into agreement with His. It has the power to ignite our will and decisions to come into obedience with His. It has the power to heal our emotions, so we can respond with His wisdom in situations. “For who has known or understood the mind (the counsels and purposes) of the Lord so as to guide and instruct Him and give Him knowledge? But we have the mind of Christ (the Messiah) and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart. [Isa. 40:13.]” 1 Corinthians 2:16 AMPC Holy Spirit, help us receive God’s heart and purposes, as we read Your Word. Continually bring God’s Word of Truth into our thoughts. Blessings, as Holy Spirit awakens a passionate desire for God’s Word in you. Love y’all, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!

What an honor we have to work together with our loving, Almighty God. We are continually being cultivated by God. He is producing His fruit in us, so we can encourage others with hope in Christ. He is building us up on His solid foundation of truth and righteousness. We belong to God, and not ourselves anymore. He wants to remove the wood, hay, and straw, that will not withstand the fire of adversity. He wants to build with gold, silver, and precious stones, that establishes His indestructible Kingdom in our lives. “For we are fellow workmen (joint promoters, laborers together) with and for God; you are God’s garden and vineyard and field under cultivation, [you are] God’s building. [Isa. 61:3.]” 1 Corinthians 3:9 AMPC Thank You Lord, for giving us the most stable and secure foundation, which is Christ. We choose to surrender to Your blueprint (Your Word) for our lives. Blessings, as God cultivates you into His beautiful garden. Love y’all, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!

Every good thing we have is because of our wonderful, loving, gracious Father. He sends people into our lives to impart the wisdom of His counsel, through His Word. He gives us the ability to comprehend, and do what we need to do, to prosper us in this life. He gives us strength for each new day to accomplish this. It is truly His grace, that enables us to live in the victory of Christ Jesus. “I don’t want to hear any of you bragging about yourself or anyone else. Everything is already yours as a gift—Paul, Apollos, Peter, the world, life, death, the present, the future—all of it is yours, and you are privileged to be in union with Christ, who is in union with God.” 1 Corinthians 3:21-23 MSG Wow! LORD, we are forever grateful for the honor of being one with You. We have Your wisdom to lead and guide us through life’s decisions. Help us not rely on worldly wisdom, more than Your wisdom. Blessings, as you discover all of God’s gifts, which He has given to you. Love y’all, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!

Paul had to correct the Corinthian church, because they began to exult knowledge of men over the empowering wisdom and love of God. They looked to gain knowledge without intimate fellowship. Intimate fellowship with God in His Word, empowers us to walk in God’s ways. We can’t have true intimacy apart from God’s Word of life. Knowledge without intimacy produces pride. We need both intimacy with God, and knowledge of God’s Word, to live an empowered, balanced life of victory in Christ. “For the kingdom of God consists of and is based on not talk but power (moral power and excellence of soul).” 1 Corinthians 4:20 AMPC Lord, help us desire Your Word to gain Your wisdom, from an intimate place of Your enrapturing love. Let Your Love implant Your truth and wisdom in our souls. Blessings, as you grow in intimacy with God, through the knowledge of His Word. Love y’all, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!

God purchased us with His priceless gift. The precious Blood of His only Son. He did this so we could be completely delivered from the entrapping’s of the slavery mindset. We are no longer bound to the dictates of the god of this world. We have been set free, to walk in the freedom and abundance of Christ Jesus. We are forever bound to Christ. Being a slave to Christ is the most free and liberating place we can live in. In Christ, we have been given authority and control over what comes into our thought life. We have the ability and empowerment to think from a position of victory in Christ. “You were bought with a price [purchased with a preciousness and paid for by Christ]; then do not yield yourselves up to become [in your own estimation] slaves to men [but consider yourselves slaves to Christ].” 1 Corinthians 7:23 AMPC Thank You Lord, we no longer have to have a mindset of defeat and victimization. We are in Christ, Who has made us MORE than CONQUERORS! Thank You, for loving us so much, that you gave Your life to redeem us. Blessings, as you receive full understanding of Christ’s Blood, that purchased your complete freedom. Love y’all, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!
