Today's Wisdom Word Wednesday is about having the wisdom to realize that God's word is bond . It's a binding security with firm assurance that it will hold without breaking or cracking under pressure.  When you receive Jesus into your heart, you gain access to the power of God's word. God's word is one of our spiritual weapons that we can use to speak victory over the enemy, over our circumstances, and any obstacle that may come our way. God's word is the foundation of our relationship between us and Jesus. We cannot reach our heavenly Father without an intimate and true relationship with His Son. Trust in every word of God in the name of Jesus. "Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him. Do not add to His words, Lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar." (Proverbs 30:5-6) Juliemarxhausen's Blog via Toia on Pinterest

Today, Wisdom Word Wednesday is about having the wisdom to understand and acknowledge that Jesus is our rock. He is the solid rock on which we should stand. "On Christ the solid rock I stand; All other ground is sinking sand," (from My Hope Is Built On Nothing Less Hymn). In the dictionary, rock means firm foundation, support, unchangeable, and steadfast. Through Jesus, our salvation in God is unshakable, unchangeable, and unwavering. It's a firm foundation that will never crack, break down, or erode away. When something is firm, that means it doesn't yield under pressure . As long as we allow Jesus to be our solid rock, He is not going to allow us to yield during our pressing times. He will not allow our foot to be moved.  Furthermore, we won't waver in our faith in our understanding of Him, especially when the enemy sends fiery darts our way. You can stand secure on His promises. In the midst of your standing, you don't have to worry about...

Happy 4th of July!!! I pray and hope that you are enjoying your day. Whether it's being a couch potato, having a cookout, going to the beach/lake, or just catching up with some family and friends, cease the day and HAVE FUN!! Don't worry about tomorrow's agenda. Try this for words of wisdom: Forget the PAST. Keep out of the FUTURE. Stay in the PRESENT and soak it all in. Amen and Amen!! Now for today's Wisdom Word Wednesday, I want to share with you "Ten Secrets of Cure for Worry" that I read in my Dake Study Bible. God doesn't want us to be anxious for nothing or worry about anything. He wants to protect (guard) us. And the best way for that to happen is to let it all go, give it to Him, and receive His peace which surpasses all understanding. That is why it so important not to lean on our own understanding, but just acknowledge God for who He is and what He can do for us. Here are the Ten Secrets of Cure for Worry : 1. Permi...

This Wisdom Word Wednesday is going to be a bit different. Normally, I will post a passage from the book of Proverbs. However, God is taken me in another direction. But I will conclude my post with a scripture from Proverbs. This week's theme is based on Psalm 51:10. Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.   By the power of the Holy Spirit, God can transform your old dried up heart into a new one. Jesus died so that we may live. He sent us a Helper, a Comforter to show us how we can receive strength and freshness in the dry, weary area of our lives. This can happen when we allow God to create a new and improved dwelling place for His Spirit. Ezekiel 37:1-14 The hand of the Lord came upon me and brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones. Then He caused me to pass by them all around, and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and indeed they w...

I t's officially the 3rd edition of Wisdom Word Wednesday. We are continuing this week's theme, "Letting Our Light Shine" based on Matthew 5:16. I am loving this week's theme. We are reflectors of God's light. With that being said, we must make sure nothing comes between us and God's glorious light. Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart. But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bond...

Wisdom plays an essential role in our spiritual life, especially when it comes to making decisions in our everyday life, whether it may be at work, home, or etc. It is the Holy Spirit that teaches us all things, including how to make wise decisions. In order for us to grow in wisdom, we must continue to spend time and meditate on God's Holy Word. So for Wisdom Word Wednesday, I will share scriptures from Proverbs that minister to me. My prayer is that each scripture or passage I share is a blessing to you; And in some way, shape, or form, you will be able to apply it everyday. Security In Wisdom Hear, my children, the instruction of a father, And give attention to know understanding; For I give you good doctrine: Do not forsake my law. When I was my father’s son, Tender and the only one in the sight of my mother, He also taught me, and said to me: “Let your heart retain my words; Keep my commands, and live. Get wisdom! Get understandin...

This Words of Wisdom (W.O.W) Wednesday is about resting. Sometimes our schedule can get so hectic, that it seems impossible to put 30 minutes aside to take a nap or even go to bed at a decent time. To tell you the truth, we barely can squeeze in some prayer time. We are on the go nonstop from the time we rise in the morning (after having maybe 4 hours of sleep) to the time we lay our tired heads on the pillow. To cope, we will drink loads and loads of coffee, energy drinks, caffeine sodas or just about anything to help overcome the sluggishness and tiredness in our bodies. In an essence it's pretty sad, but hey that's how it is 99.9% of the time. Bottomline, this is not the way God wants us to live our lives daily. The last thing He wants is for us to feel tired all the time, especially too tired for Him. Our bodies is the Temple of the Holy Spirit. So, this is where wisdom has to come in. We have to be wise when it comes to getting rest. Not getting enough rest can r...

Put away from you a deceitful mouth, And put perverse lips far from you. (Proverbs 5:24) There is a saying or old cliche that says ....."Actions speak louder than words." Words can be a lot louder than we think. And what about ......"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." ................Wanna bet?!? Words can not only hurt you but other people around you. Words can sow discord, slander, lie, hurt, divide, and even kill. You have to be wise in conversation and in what you and how you say things. That's why this scripture say..."Put away from you a deceitful mouth," because you can't when souls for Christ with a deceitful mouth. According to the Webster's Dictionary, deceit means deception [fraud (impostor)], trick [a craft procedure meant to deceive], and misleading. Part of being deceitful is being a fraud, an impostor. Impostor means one that assumes an identity ot title not one's own in order to deceive. Le...

For the LORD gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding; He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk uprightly; He guards the paths of justice, And preserves the way of His saints. (Proverbs 2:6-8) Today is more important than ever before to start your quest for wisdom, if you have not already. Compare to 8, 10, even 20 years ago, there are so many things and people, presently, who can influence us (Christians) in a way that will poison our relationship with God. For example, the internet. If you are not careful there are many websites that promote pornography, drugs, witchcraft, premarital sex, and everything else that is contrary to word of God and Godly living. Another example is there are many celebrities who project an image in a way, if you're not careful, that makes you think that you don't need Jesus as long as you have your "bling, bling" and a huge fan base. And there's the sex industry. The sex industry...

"As a dog returns to his own vomit, so a fool repeats his folly." (Proverbs 26:11) When I first read the first part of this scripture, I immediately thought, "Ewww!". Think about it. The dog eats his own vomit. How digusting!! And it's only because the dog doesn't know any better. So, being that the dog is not really all that intelligent in his eyes the smart thing to do is return to his vomit and eat it......wrong.....and.....Yuck!!! In most cases, people vomit because they are very sick. And whatever is in their system making them feel deathly ill, they have to let it out one way or another. One of those ways is vomitting. But after we were to vomit, do we return to it ready to chow down..........No!!! I don't think so. For one thing that's gross. My point is why keep doing the same thing over and over again, when it is no good for you spiritually, physically, and/or mentally. Make up your mind to change. Stop returning to the same ol' junk. It...

He who has a deceitful heart finds no good, And he who has a perverse tongue falls into evil. (Proverbs 17:20) It is wise to steer away from anyone who possesses these qualities. People who operates from a deceitful heart and has a perverse tongue are not the type you should have in your circle of friends. You would have to love and pray for people like that from a distance. Deceit is the noun form of deceive, which means to mislead or falsely persuade others. Deceitful people wear many masks. They find good in nothing. They are pessimistic and negative 99.9% of the time. Deceitful people are wolves in sheep clothing and have a form of godliness, but deny the power of the Holy Spirit. If they have a deceitful heart, no doubt about it, they have a perverse tongue. The perverse tongue in Proverbs 17:20 is not implying anything sexual. It's about twisting everything that is good and clean into something bad and evil. A perverse tongue speaks the opposite of what the Word of God says i...

A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, loving favor rather than silver and gold. (Proverb 22:1) NKJV Choosing a good reputation over great riches for being held in high esteem is better than silver and gold. (Proverb 22:1) NLT To be or not to be that is the question. To be someone of a good reputation of having moral standards or not to be someone who has integrity rather than have great riches. According to Proverbs 22:1, a good reputation (a good name) and favor with God and people is far more important than wealth. Having a good name means that you can be trusted. You are not shady, selfish, conceited, or a back-stabber. You are consider to be a friend...someone who is trustworthy. A good reputation leads to favor. Living the way God wants you to live and let your light shine among people give you favor with God. God's favor is what open doors to opportunities to your dreams. It doesn't matter how rich you are, people still will not want anything to do with yo...

When pride comes, then comes shame; But with the humble is wisdom. (Proverbs 11:3) ----------------------------------------------------------------- To be prideful is to be arrogant, conceited, and downright stubborn. Many people will sacrifice relationships, jobs, and everything else for that matter for the sake of pride. It is so hard to humble themselves in order to make a wrong.....right. Nothing good ever comes from the result of pride. Throughout the bible you can read about the consequences of pride. One of those consequences is shame. It's easy to become full of shame when you have lost everything due to pride. You began to realize all that is gone wasn't worth the price you paid for being so prideful and stubborn. You can lose everything with a blink of an eye, if you don't have wisdom. There is no possession in wisdom. Most importantly, there is no wisdom in pride. However, there is humility in wisdom. This is important. If you are under a spell called pride, you ...

Through the power of the Holy Spirit, I am starting "Words of Wisdom Wednesday". This where I would share a scripture or passage from the Book of Proverbs, which teaches people how to attain wisdom. You can have knowledge, which is knowing and having all the facts. However, knowledge doesn't mean a thing, if you don't have wisdom, which is applying those facts to your everyday life. Before I begin to share, let me give you some information on the Book of Proverbs from The Spirit-Filled Life Bible. The Book of Proverbs, which was written by King Solomon, is not just a collection of wise sayings, but a collection of collections. The book's purpose statement indicates the desire to ascertain and impart wisdom. It's unifying thought or theme is "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom" (Proverb 9:10), appearing in another form as, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning (or principal part) of knowledge" (Proverb 1:7). 1. Wisdom (the abil...
