To obey God we must know Him. John 14:15 says “If you love me, you will keep my commandments”. How can a person keep his commandments unless we make Christ the object of our faith? Once we do this then the Holy Spirit will help us do what we need to do in keeping His commandments. Jesus said in John 14: 16 “And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another comforter, that He may abide with you forever. (Comforter meaning “Parakletos” which means “one called to the side of another to help”) The Holy Spirit lives in the hearts of believers forever and will help us, and guide us as long as were willing to follow.
Before I turned my life over to the Lord in my adult years, I always knew of him but didn’t know Him enough to keep His commandments. …show more content…
I believe the Lord knew I wanted too but the bondage or domination of sin was too much for me to change. But after the Lord delivered me from all that I began to pray for my kids to know Him more. My oldest daughter was hurt and still grieving Heather
~Godly Wisdom~
I love seeking the Lord for wisdom and for those that seek shall find. God wants us to be wise and He wants us to ASK. Sometimes it doesn’t come quickly but never give up on seeking God for wisdom until wisdom comes. These verses below show what God says about it. Matthew 7:7-8.
7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Before I came to the Lord I didn’t think too much about Godly wisdom. I just thought wisdom was wisdom and I also thought it just came with age. Being young living life and just the daily routine of working and taking care of kids just didn’t give me time to think about anything else for a good while in my life. It wasn’t until knowing the Lord more that I realized I needed Godly wisdom. As I began to read the Bible I fell in love with Proverbs chapter …show more content…
let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
There is a difference between worldly wisdom and Godly wisdom. The wisdom of this world is foolishness to God (1 Corinthians 3:19) but when we understand the message of Jesus and Him crucified for our sins then we start receiving the wisdom of God. We see in 1 Corinthians 2:2 Paul says “For I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.” This is the main message of the gospel, of course, we learn much more but knowing this truth will set you free. John 8:32 “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you
