Why WISDOM by WORD…

The greater our submission to His truths and not leaning to our own understandings, the greater our ability to make room in our spirits to receive life-changing revelation of His word – this is what gives ELOHIM (Creator & Judge) glory, this is the example Yeshua (Jesus) lived out – one of obedience, one that was full of the revelation and testified about who ELOHIM, the Heavenly Father “was and is; and who is to come “– Alpha and Omega – “the Holy one of Israel.”   

So if you find yourself lacking in revelation and want to do something about it, but are not quite sure where to start, I would point you in the direction of getting on your knees - that is in prayer.  You can't fill a vessel that is already full of junk...there's no room to add anything to it.  I found myself in this place at one point in my life, and was frustrated and wanted to truly get to know the God of the Bible.  I had to face the fact that my junk was the sin in my life that I had not dealt with, nor confessed.  In crying out to the LORD about the emptiness and unfulfillment in my life,  I was led to obey what 1 John 1:9 says,

⁹ If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Likewise we are being taught as well that those of us that are willing to learn from their trials, tests and sufferings, are participating in the sufferings of Yeshua, which will ultimately conform us into His image. This is what will teach us “…to be holy, as He (GOD) is holy.” 

“⁸ though He (Yeshua) was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered. ⁹ And having been perfected, He (Yeshua) became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him,…”(Hebrews 5:8-9)

Contrary to popular belief, it is not a horrible thing for those in covenant relationship with Yeshua to go through trials and tests.    If we are willing, it will revolutionize and reshape our lives into His image – preparing us to taken into eternity with Him, without  “spot, wrinkle or blemish.”

In closing, my final thought for all of our consideration is this, if you’ve ever been accused of being narrow minded because of your willingness to not go with the “traditions of men,” and the “status quo,” be encouraged for the Yeshua (Jesus) Himself tells us in Matthew 7:13-14,

“¹³ “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. ¹⁴ Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.”

More to come...It's really not about us at all, but ELOHIM, Creator & Judge over all.  Selah.

In His name,
    one of many who must decrease in self,
     so HE (Yeshua) can increase all the more in me,
        His maidservant,
