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!!!

God’s love edifies and encourages us and others to grow in the wisdom and image of God. Knowledge without love causes pride, and God resists the proud. Love causes us to recognize and understand God’s Word, through intimate fellowship with God. The more we grow passionately in love with God, the more of His Knowledge we walk in. We are not here to try to get everyone to agree with our opinions. We are here to agree with God’s opinion, and point others to God’s ways. We need to stay balanced in this. We let God’s truth flow through love. We share God’s truth, then we let Holy Spirit do the convincing.
“If anyone imagines that he has come to know and understand much [of divine things, without love], he does not yet perceive and recognize and understand as strongly and clearly, nor has he become as intimately acquainted with anything as he ought or as is necessary.” 1 Corinthians 8:2 AMPC
Thank You Lord for Your love, that keeps us intimately aware and familiar with Your Truth. Thank You for walking us through the training process, daily living out Your truth in love. Blessings, as God’s love securely wraps you in His truth. Love y’all, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!
