KJV Proverbs 4: 7
Blessings to you today my friend!
You are special and it shows! God is Faithful and He loves you so much! Oh what a glorious year it has been. I’ve seen trials, tribulations and tests…but they were just temporary; because behind them all there was great victory. The world can’t celebrate a victory beforehand, but we can…so don’t forget! Sometimes the main thing that we need in our situations is wisdom! All you have to do is ask for it! The bible says so. Such a simple thing; yet some forget...
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. JAMES 1: 5
This week I decided to ask for some wisdom in two matters that were putting unnecessary pressures on myself and my family. In each case; I was led to make some telephone calls at a very precise and unusual time. My words that I spoke determined the entire outcome. They came out of my mouth; but I was shocked as I said them. As the wisdom poured forth, the favor followed!
In both matters I was successful because GOD deemed it to be that way! One call resulted in a future benefit to my family that will be worth several thousand dollars which we never imagined would happen. The other outcome was more of a faith strengthening exercise; actually they both were. It wasn’t about money. It was much more significant. It was about a promise that God had made to me; that “seemed” impossible even at the time of the telephone calls. “The just shall live by faith.” Wisdom prompted me to make the call, faith allowed me to follow through, knowing the Word of God allowed me to be obedient, diligence in meditation brought forth the revelation and favor was the benefit. God wants to turn your test into a triumph; but He needs you to meditate, ask for, confess wisdom and BELIEVE. On the other side; I have written a prayer for you.
A PRAYER FOR WISDOM
Dear Heavenly Father, I come into Your presence to speak to You today in the Name of Jesus and by his blood. Father I hold you in the highest regard and love You with all of my heart, all of my mind and all of my soul! I find myself in Your awesome presence today to seek wisdom in the circumstances that challenge me today. I am also seeking wisdom to help other people in the way that You need me to do it. I declare and decree that I will depart from evil and do good, that I will walk with wise men; thereby I will be wise; also I want to say that I stand ready for instruction, for I am just and therefore teachable and able to increase in learning.
I thank you Father that I am able to hear You because I watch daily at Your gates and wait at the posts of Your door, knowing that I will not only find life but favor. I do not despise Your chastening and I do not grow weary of Your correction because I know that whom You love; You correct just like a Father corrects a son (or daughter) whom he loves. I thank You that because my ear can hear reproof that I can abide among the wise. I thank You Father that wisdom assures my promotion which doesn’t come from the East or West or the North or the South; but it comes from You LORD. I thank You Father that I am able to recognize the JOY that I have in You. I delight myself greatly in Your commandments and I am Blessed because I have total reverence for you. I thank you that Godly wisdom guarantees that even my enemies cannot overcome me. I thank you Father that Your statutes and judgments in the Word of God give me wisdom.
I thank you Father that I will continue to hear and hear the Word of God knowing faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. I thank you Father for the desires that You have placed in my heart. I thank You for Your patience with me as I seek to gain wisdom in the things that You have promised me. I thank You Father for Your patience with me as I realize that I cannot do things my way; but that I CAN do things Your way with perfect results. I thank You Father that I will remain focused and fixed on my calling. I thank You Father that I have good and perfect habits and that those habits allow me to fulfill my destiny.
I thank You Father that I will remember everyday that if the fruit of desire is pursuit; that I will always be in pursuit; never moving farther away from what I am called to do by procrastinating.
I thank You Father that I’m all out of excuses. I thank You Father that I have the wisdom to move past excuses and win every battle on the home turf of my mind or wherever it may be! I thank you Father that everyday I go out and train for battle and that I gain and grow in wisdom. I purpose in my heart to seek You for guidance in all that I do! Father, I believe You and I know that I CANNOT FAIL! AMEN
