The source of our understanding and knowledge must be found in Christ Jesus. If we permit ourselves to use reason and human understanding, we become open to justifying “human” compassion. This is what leads to ungodly thought patterns. Our thoughts and words must submit first, and foremost, to God’s righteousness and truth. God’s Word and ways sound like foolishness to the world, but it is the power of God to change the world. We have been called to take dominion, not come under the sway of the world’s wisdom. We are the ones who establish God’s Kingdom in the earth. “For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.” 1 Corinthians 2:2 NKJV Lord, keep our source of knowledge and understanding grounded completely in Your wisdom and counsel. Help our thoughts be continually upon Your Word, which has overcome the world. Blessings, as your thoughts and words stay in alignment with God’s heart. Love y’all, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!

We must consistently keep our thoughts, words, and actions in alignment with the power of our Almighty God. When we listen to the world’s ideals, we make idols of wrong things in our lives. We look for the approval of man, above the approval of God. How do we know we’ve fallen into this trap? If we’re constantly concerned with what others will think about us, we may need to reevaluate our value system. When we value, trust, and believe God’s Word, Holy Spirit releases in us a bold, confident trust in the love and power of God. Whoever we give our attention to, and trust, is who we will desire to please. “So that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men (human philosophy), but in the power of God.” 1 Corinthians 2:5 AMPC Lord, help us desire Your Word, and grow in intimacy and trust with You. Remove any area where we have put faith in anything, or anyone, other than You. May our way of thinking be solely established in Your Truth. Blessings, as your confidence in Christ builds your faith to believe God, above the wisdom and philosophies of man. Love y’all, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!

Have a Happy, Blessed, and Prosperous New Year! We have one God and one mediator between God and man, Christ Jesus. Through Him, we receive every spiritual blessing. God is our supernatural Source of provision, health, protection, love, acceptance, wisdom, strength, peace, joy, and so much more. It’s all found in Him!!! “Yet for us there is [only] one God, the Father, Who is the Source of all things and for Whom we [have life], and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through and by Whom are all things and through and by Whom we [ourselves exist].” [Mal. 2:10.] 1 Corinthians 8:6 AMPC Lord, in this new year, may our thoughts first go to You, our Source of everything we need. When any need arises, or we are confronted with a difficulty, help us run to, and lean on You and Your supernatural promises, that we have in Christ! Thank You Lord, for Your miraculous work You’ve begun in us, and are completing. Blessings, as your mind continually stays fixed on all you have, because you are in Christ. Love y’all, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!

Our God is continually instructing, and bringing us into His spiritual wisdom. This understanding helps us step into His perfect plan for our lives. It helps us sow His loving plan into others. We only find out who we really are, and our true purpose, through the wisdom and revealing of His Word in us. Those who have influence and positions, but continually lean on their own wisdom and understanding, are in the process of being dethroned. “Yet when we are among the full-grown (spiritually mature Christians who are ripe in understanding), we do impart a [higher] wisdom (the knowledge of the divine plan previously hidden); but it is indeed not a wisdom of this present age or of this world nor of the leaders and rulers of this age, who are being brought to nothing and are doomed to pass away.” 1 Corinthians 2:6 AMPC Thank You Lord, for revealing Your Wisdom and Truth to us. Help us consistently lean on Your Wisdom, and not our understanding. Thank You, that those in leadership who will not stay in alignment with Your Wisdom and Truth, are removed. Blessings, as God’s Word releases His Wisdom for every decision you need to make. Love y’all, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!

We serve a loving Father Who knows all things. He desires to reveal His living Word in us. His Word helps us discover who we really are, and what our purpose is. His Word gives us confidence in who He created us to be. We stop trying to be like everyone else. We learn how to be the person of love, peace, joy, and assurance He has created us to be. “God has revealed these things to us through the Spirit. The Spirit searches everything, including the depths of God.” 1 Corinthians 2:10 CEB Thank You Lord, for revealing the depths of the wisdom of Christ to us. Thank You for all the treasures we received, through the cross of Jesus Christ. Help us discover who we are in You, according to your Word, and not worldly sources. Blessings, as Your Creator reveals Himself, in and through you. Love y’all, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!

STOP AND THINK! WE HAVE HOLY SPIRIT LIVING IN US AND GUIDING US! We no longer have the spirit of the world that brings death. We have Holy Spirit, Who brings the abundant life of Jesus Christ. Now, we just have to consciously think upon, and appreciate all the favor and blessings we have from our loving FATHER! They all belong to us! That’s our true reality! We need to learn to reject the lies of the spirit of the world, and walk in the truths of the Holy Spirit. “Now we have not received the spirit [that belongs to] the world, but the [Holy] Spirit Who is from God, [given to us] that we might realize and comprehend and appreciate the gifts [of divine favor and blessing so freely and lavishly] bestowed on us by God.” 1 Corinthians 2:12 AMPC Thank You Lord, for helping us realize how truly blessed we are. Help us think about, and see Your blessings, that You shower on us daily. Blessings, as your thoughts come into agreement with all of God’s gifts, given to you through CHRIST JESUS! Love ya’ll, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!
