DAY 6


Wisdom of Kingdom living:

If you are going to live by the Kingdom of God, than what you do should be governed by the  life style of the Kingdom. You cant say "I live by the word of God" and then have your actions show just the opposite. In other words, what you do should reflect the Kingdom of God, because, we are His sons and daughters and we are a reflection of Him and His Kingdom.

If my actions, life style and words are a reflection of the world and that way of doing anything,,,from work to interaction with others, to how I operate my life than I am not living a Kingdom life.

Jesus says, "You will be known by your fruits....everyone who hears these words of mind and acts upon them may be considered a wise man....not everyone who says Lord Lord will enter the Kingdom, but He who does the will of My Father who is in Heaven....No one can serve two master....beware of practicing righteousness before men to be noticed by them....for if you forgive men of their transgressions Your Heavenly Father will forgive you....and why do you look at the speck in your brothers eye, but do not notice the log in your eye.....repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand..." and much more...(Matt. 5-7)

We all need to examine ourselves and see what kind of fruit we are producing in our personal lives. Not looking at others but our own, for you are not responsible for what choices others make, but your  own. Except in the case of a leader. If you are a leader than you are in jeopardy of leading them down the wrong path. You then will be held accountable not only for what you do, but how your life style and choices effected those around you. We as leaders are held responsible for those with whom we have influence over. We are responsible for so much more, for God has given us a higher calling in life. But with that calling comes authority over the spirit realm. So we can see and hear and clear the way for the Lord, and bear fruit for future generations.

To bear good fruit, we are pruned  and molded by  God and lead by His Holy Spirit. He prunes and blesses you and I to bear Kingdom Fruit  (John 15). By abiding in Him we bear fruit, fruit that remains and doesn't spoil, then we ask what we will, He hears and answers. Giving us authority over darkness, setting captives free. This is a privilege, to help others find freedom in Christ, and thus glorifying our Father in our actions and the lives of others. But we need to do this by His ways and not the way of man. For when Gods ways are released, then the Kingdom is released and an amazing impact upon this culture, changing the face of the world.
<?<><<<<?<>?<?<?<???????<><><<<<<<<<<<<<<<>><><?<><?<?<?<?<><<<><><><>>>

Lord Jesus, cause us to know right from wrong, good from evil so  what we do truly is a reflection of Your Kingdom and bring glory to Your Name. Strengthen us each day to hear Your voice, follow You and be know in Your Kingdom, by who we are We love you and want to bring Honor to Your name. In Jesus name amen.

blessings as you walk out the Kingdom lifestyle ....

Wisdom of a Transformed Mind:
 
Below are notes  I took  from Bill Johnson's teaching via You tube Attaining a Renewed mind ,March 16, 2015 by way of culture4Christ you tube channel. When you get a chance to watch this do so. It opened up a reality to me in a circumstance I am going through and is bringing deliverance for a lot of people held by defilement spoken of in Hebrews 12: 11-15. Praise the Lord.
Thanks Bill Johnson for being a great teacher.
<><><><>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<><><><><><><><>><><><>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
 
*Evil thoughts inspire  demonic activity. Anything contradicting the word/Kingdom of God.
*Evil thoughts  by the flesh inspire demonic thoughts.
*You can't do what is contrary to Gods word in actions and then, sound the trumpet/pray/read His word/go to church/etc and expect Godly outcome.
*Knowing good from evil right from wrong
*Strongholds are developed through thoughts good or bad. God is our stronghold in the day of trouble and satan causes strongholds in our lives.
*What are you trusting in other than God AND His ways.....human/satanic understanding?
*Missed placed trust: alcohol, drugs, deceit, guile, control, manipulation, witchcraft (sin of the flesh) rebellion to the ways of God..jealousy..etc this yields to spiritual realities.
*Gal. 5 has a list for further study
*First starts with a thought, then sin of the flesh, which in turn releases witchcraft, which releases curses, then demonic activity leads to a target.
*Trying for control outside of Gods divine order releases fleshly reactions
*These actions lead to/cause strongholds which satan empowers
*Story of David and  Saul is a good place to study on what a reaction/open doors/fleshly thoughts & reactions can cause. Also a study of the walls around cities and how one week place is the spot the enemy will use as a means to find a way in.
*Perverted thoughts and patterns of behavior and ways of thinking are corrupted by firey darts of the evil one bring years of wrong thinking
*There is a fragrance/aroma released when thoughts...good or bad
                         each attracts their own realities
*Think His thoughts /line up with His word to attract and release the fragrance of life,
*Think flesh/satantic thoughts releases curses and the fragrance of death and decay.
*II Cor. 10: 2.3.4.5.....bring every thought into captivity
*When God pulls back the veil that was covering a truth or reality and shows the truth it isn't just for you but for all to be shared with. Giving a divine perspective.
*Wrong thinking has to be replaced with divines thinking or that wrong mindset will return
*You can't do the way of the world and expect to reap the benefits of the Kingdom of Heaven
*God doesn't will, that any should perish but...He doesn't use: the ways of the flesh to accomplish His outcome.
*When we believe lie, we empower that lie, giving that lie or mindset power to release demonic activity and curses.
*Godly thinking is what destroys the reality in which demonic thinking exist.
 
 
I am sure as you listen to this teaching you will learn things I didn't.
 
blessings to you as your mind is renewed and transformed to His way of living and a freedom never before experienced.

Day 8
 
 
 
God is still the God of Miracles
 
When we read the bible, we read of the great stories where God intervened and amazing miracles happened in the lives of people. Didn't matter if they served Him or not strange things happened. One is the talking donkey and the prophet Balaam. God caused the donkey Balaam was ridding to see an angel blocking the path, and when Balaam became mad because the donkey stopped moving, the donkey then starting talking. This story has always amazed me. One the donkey who could see in the spirit and talk and a prophet who didn't serve God, was concerned and only wanted to say what God wanted him to say. You can read the full story in Numbers 22.
 
Another miracle story is of course the crossing of the Red Sea and the Israelites crossing on dry ground. This story is in Exodus 14.
 
There are the two stories about the multitudes being fed when Jesus walked the earth. Feeding thousands of people from a few and fish and loaves of bread, with some left over. Even in the book of Acts there are several amazing stories of miracles happening to people.
 
But I would like to share of one more resent. A young man in a motorcycle accident. When a car pulled out in front of him as he was traveling down the freeway, about 70 miles an hour. He walked away from the crunched up bike! Yes he has road rash on his upper body and a few other bruises, but as he was going through the accident, he said he could feel arms going around him, protecting him!
 
God is still the God of miracles. This is an amazing story of how God protects us in the midst of something that could have other wise ended very tragically.
 
I am so thankful, that God is still the God of miracles!
 
Isaiah 40: 25....To whom will you liken Me, that I should be his equal? says the Holy One. Lift up your eyes on high and see who has created these stars. The One who leads forth their host by number, He calls them all by name; because of the greatness of His might and the strength of His power, not one of the is missing.. Also Isaiah 46: 9.& 11.....For I am God, and there is no one like Me.....I will accomplish all My good pleasure.
 
He is an amazing God, and watches over us all.
 
Thank You Heavenly Father, for Your love and guidance. Protecting us in times of trouble and loving us unconditionally. We need You and long for the day we can meet You face to face. But until that day we thank You for the signs wonders and miracles we experience each day. amen.

DAY 9
Wisdom of knowing
 


God is in control or is He?

Some say God is in control of everything that goes on around this world. Even the woman who is raped or the man who is killed or the child who is stolen for sex trade. He is in-charge of all the good, bad and ugly. He controls all we do? He makes the flowers bloom and the grass grow. He is the creator of all intentions--good or evil. He makes the new born well or sick, he picks the ones who should have down syndrome and those who are healthy.

This is a very controversial issue and a lot of opinions out there.
Lets look at the Word of God and through in=since this is my article--my thoughts on this subject.

A seriers of events happened, an arch angel who served God, decided he wanted the attention God was getting and thought he was better than God, so because of his pride was thrown from Heaven. In Genesis 3 the story starts to unfold: the serpent (satan) saw Eve in the garden one day and approached her. Didn't Creator tell you, you  couldn't eat from every tree in the garden. The women said, we can eat from all but the one in the middle. Well the serpent manipulated the words and coerced the women Eve into eating of that forbidden tree and sharing it with her husband. Then the eyes of both of them were opened to seeing both good and evil. God found them, had a short conversation and the Lord cursed their life (Gen. 3:14) Pain was released in what they do, as well as toil, hardships and  sweat. One of the things said to the serpent was "I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed, He shall bruise you on the head, and you shall bruise him on the heel", in other words, warfare between the generations. Of course there is a lot more to this section of scripture but this is an over view.
God said, 'They have become like Us, knowing good and evil, which means evil existed before this event, lest he stretch out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat and live forever, they were removed from the garden forever. This was the start of the relationship between man and the serpent, The serpent, how he got into the garden in the first place, I do not know, along with Adam and Eve were removed from the garden.
They had two children. One day, the Lord said to Cain, Why are you angry?  Why has your countenance fallen, If you do well, will not your countenance be lifted up? If you do not do well, sin, is crouching at the door and its desire is for you, but you must master it."
Here God was telling Cain, you are in-charge of whether you sin or not. You are in charge of the good or bad that you do the choice you make, Not God, You.

The only time God is in charge or has a say in the matter is if we pray and release Him to move on our behalf, He gave us this planet to do with as we saw fit. And over the years things have gone from better to worse and in some places worse to better.
But God is not telling a person to behave in an evil way. He does not tell someone to go rape another or rob or steal or commit a crime.
A verse quoted some many times is the one in 11 Chon...if the people who are called by My name, humble themselves and turn from their wicked ways, I will come and heal the land. I think that pretty much says it all...

July 11.2016

As I glance over article after article from Christians all over the world, I cant help but laugh. Some prophets say, I am dreaming of Trump, that means that we should all vote for him, He is God chosen man. Then another few articles down the line, Hilary is our next president, God says to vote for her. These are well meaning Christians, who love the Lord, and feel they have heard from the Lord.
So....
who has really heard Gods voice. Who really is so in -tune and close to the Lord, that he really knows, God heart in this matter? It cant be both. Who has heard the truth?

I personally have not sought the Lord on who to vote for. I have not spent time fasting and praying and seeking God for the one who would be the best for this country.
But just from reading and listening I could not vote for either one.

I feel, with the wisdom God has given me, that we should write in one that was in the running The one who has the best intentions for this country. The one who God would chose for this country.

Why does it have to be Hilary or Trump?
Honestly, are either one good for this country?
I mean ,put aside all the prophets, teachers, and preachers words and think about it. Stop looking at either one and look to God's heart and His choice.


Blessings this election season.'

Meditate on These Things
 


Spiritual Insight: the door to wisdom # 1
These are just thoughts, quotes, wisdom I have learned by going through things, I wanted to share with you.

The dark or light, you choose, which will influence your choices. But, one or the other will influence what you do. If you do not chose, the one which has the most influence is the one which will make the choice for you.

Words, good or bad influence our daily living. Even words said a month ago will come to manifest at some point in time.

What or who you are inside is what is released in the atmosphere around you. This is how you  are known, this is how people and things react to you. Good or bad is released and influences the supernatural realm.

The unseen, supernatural realm, second and third Heavens. This is what controls our decisions. If you have darkness inside yourself instead of light, that darkness is released in the unseen place around you.

Allow The Creator of all things to guide, enrich and teach. You then will be made whole through His Spirit.

Prayer each day is what fuels the spirit realm, is what fuels peoples reaction to you, is what fuels how your day will be.

He will bring us through hard seasons. Not camp there forever.

Live in a way that brings honor to Gods word over your life.

I hope these will help you make better decisions in life issues ahead of you., The past, well has passed, learn and move on. Use wisdom to guide the decisions for the tomorrow..
Blessings,
Diana Katona

Day 11
oops 
 
 
Wisdom of Waiting:  Be strong and Courageous:
 
It does take strength to wait, when you want to move forward. Whether it be with an inspiration, passion of a project or just tired of standing in one place. When we have been given a promise or directive or a calling, whatever it may be, from the Lord, most of us just want to jump in and start doing!
But....
Psalm 31: 24..be strong and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in the Lord.
Psalm 27:14...wait for the Lord, be strong and let your heart take courage, yes wait for the Lord.
Be strong in the Hebrew means: take hold, be urgent, behave self valiantly, withstand, to strengthen, to be courageous, to overpower, hold fast, fortify, become mighty. The root meaning of wait is that of twisting or winding a strand of cord and to depend on and ordering activities around a future event. To tarry, to expect, patiently wait upon and hope for.
To be courageous is to be bold, daring, unafraid, venturesome, gallant, etc.
 
It does take courage to wait. Wait for the Lord to mold, form and release in His time.
It does take hope to wait.  But when waiting for the Lords time, that does not mean to be idle. During that time of waiting you are to be learning, growing in knowledge and wisdom of what He has in the future for you. So, when the time comes and He releases you, you are ready. Equipped with the necessary tools for the calling and gifts you are to use.><>
 
As you wait, expect things from Him, and wind yourself around Him and His word to you. Strengthen yourself in Him. Be so immersed in Him, the relationship between the two of you, deep, not superficial. Be so entwined, so wrapped around Him, nothing can separate the two of you.
Becoming not just a servant but a friend of God, takes time and effort. A short devotional and a 2 minutes of prayer does not make a entwined friendship.<><> The courage to wait and hope for what is yet to be seen.
Worship is so important. I can not stress enough how much each of us should spend time in worship each week. To be totally focused on Him and His greatness. Each day is the best, but just on Sunday's isn't enough. Worship takes you places you would not  other wise go, in the Spirit. Worship, helps each of us to keep our minds on Him and His rightful place in your life. Worship also refreshes  and heals your spirit and soul. Bringing the worshipper that much closer to God.>?>><>
<><><><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<><><<<<<<<<<<><><><><>
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, as I wait for You fill me with the courage, hope and faith to wait with expectation. My faith is in You. I want to walk out this life with what You have for me, teach me while I wait/ I need the wisdom, revelation and counsel to teach and guide me into all truth and discernment. amen

Day 10
 
  
Wisdom of Knowing Who I Walk With
 
There is no way I would make it through this season of my life without Jesus in my life. He is my guide, rock, protector, teacher, wisdom, understanding, holds me steadfast when I want to let go. Has kept me on a path in Him and  bringing me closer to understanding who He is. My relationship has grown deeper through this time. <><>
Psalm 18 is one of my favorite story's, .....
  I called to my Father for help. Torrents of death where around me,  death confronting me as close as my breath. I needed wisdom, help, guidance and love. He had been there in the past, every time as a matter of fact. He is my rock, my deliverer, my shield from the enemy arrows. I praised Him for these times of help in my distress. Adonai knows me, all of me and still loves me, He had been there in the past, would He be right here and give me rest? I called Adonai, He came. He was moving Heaven and Earth at the sound of my voice, the cry of His daughter in distress. He was angry,  in haste, Adonai came. The earth shook, Adonai, made a path of fire the wind from that fire. fueled the cherub He rode, darkness and clouds hid Him. Brightness led the way as His voice thundered the Heavens. <><>
He had spoken before, creating with His words. By the force of His words He rescued me. Saving me from an enemy who hated me. They were against me and stronger than I. Adonai, He became my strength. He drew me to a safe place, a safe distance from those who wanted to take me out.<><>
 The enemy of my soul. Resting in this safe place, I saw the pleasure in His face, pleasure in me for looking to my Father in the day of my distress. He didn't rebuke me or yell at me. Adonai, took pleasure in me. He took me into His arms and taught me. Arming me for the future, for I know the enemy is still out there. But for now, it is time to rest in Adonai, listening to His still small voice, by His Spirit Adonai will light the darkness for me and with leaps and bounds I can run the course before me as He shields me with salvation. The joy He gives me, strengthens me so that I can walk in His straight ways. He trains me for the battles ahead and I boost in what I know of Him. With humility, I pursue my enemies, overcoming them, for it is through His power and authority.  I am filled with glory and praise for who He is in me.
At the end of the day, I know it is my Father and I. He will never leave me nor forsake me, as I hold His hand.>

Day 12

 
Wisdom for Eternity
 
Learning and growing, making mistakes and decisions, living and death are all part of life here on earth. This earthly existence is just the beginning of the rest of your life. What we do here is what influences eternity. Eternity according to several different sources means: where God or the gods are said to endure eternally, time without end, a state that comes after death and never ends, a place both the past and the future, forever, a time without end. Eternity has no limits
I want to live with eternity in mind. I want to influence what I will do in the future, after I die this physical death.<><>
 
All religions have a different eternity. A different way they will spend their life after death with our physical bodies. Our physical bodies have a limit to how long it can exist. It was not made with eternity in mind. But our spirits were. Our spirits will go on long after our bodies decay in the grave. The physical body goes back to dust, never more to rise again. When death comes, we are done with this earthly body and we are given a new one for our spirits to dwell in. One without limits, one that both sickness and disease can not touch nor death. This is the "body" we will have for eternity.<><>
 
In Revelation we are told we will receive a new name and hidden manna if we overcome the things of this world. If we hold fast to God and not deny Him, He will not deny us. We will also be given authority over the Nations and  sit on the throne with Him. Each of us  will be clothed in a white garment and our name will not be erase from the Book of Life.<><>
 
Another thing I noticed of those of us who persevere, we will not have to go through the "time of testing" which is about to come upon the whole earth. (Revelation 3:10) That is something to persevere for. I feel the time of testing will be harder that we can imagine.<><>
 
God has prepared Nations and Worlds, homes and places for us..(II Peter 5:10-18) This earth will be destroyed and the heavens. I believe this "heavens" is the second heaven where satan and the demons dwell. The elements of this world will be destroyed as well. The things, we have been saving, homes, riches, business, reputation etc will not be saved. Anything on this world or of this world will be gone. Yes, we are to walk in the destiny God has for us, gives us life, leading to the eternal living. A new heaven and new earth will be made and we will dwell there. A new: clean, amazing, free of disease, pollution, sin, fear, hopelessness, pain, pride, jealousy, sickness, sadness or sorrow home. The only thing to remain is what we did and who we followed after. Your spirit and the condition it is in is what will go with you into the future. Who you dwelled with, who you served with, during your earthly life, God and His kingdom or satan and his, this is who you will spend the future with. Just for your fyi, if you thought that you neither chose God or satan, and just lived for you, just pleasing your senses, you chose the way of satan. Why, because this is how he lives. This is why he became separated from God in the first place. He was the highest ranking angel in Heaven, then over time, he decided he deserved (pride) the attention God was receiving and had to leave Heaven.  Satan was cast down from Heaven to the second heaven and his kingdom is earth. That is why he has so much rule and effect on what goes on here. One, we have allowed him that effect and second, when we chose pride, jealousy, hate, anger, strife, pollution etc, we are choosing his way of living. <><>
 
In Heaven with God and the angels, or hell with satan and demons. You make the choice now, not later. Now is when you condition or train your spirit for the future. Chose wisely. There is no ridding the fence. If you do not chose God and His ways you have chosen satan. Why? Because God has given him this world, the flesh way of living is his way of living. That is the way of death.
We have also been given this world and to chose how we want this place to be.
 Let this be a place where the Kingdom of Heaven comes.<><> II Thessalonians 2: 1-13/ Galatians 5/ Romans 1/ Revelations 2 and 3/ Ephesians 2
<><><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<><<<<<<<<<<<<<><><><><>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><><<>><<>
PRAYER:
Heavenly Father, guide us into all truth, Help us to live with the future in mind. To prepare a way for you to bring the new Heaven and new Earth. We need Your influence and way of living so that we will preserver, overcome the things of this world.  We are looking for and hastening the coming of the day when You will come and destroy this world and all satanic influence and bring the New Nations and our homes You are preparing. Give me the courage and boldness to chose You. amen.
 
This teaching could go on. Maybe I will continue with this at a later post. Blessings in you life.

This is more my thoughts and observations of conversations with people on the internet or the lack there of....

How each of us reacts or responds to a comment or conversation shows where we are in our walk in life. Whether believer or non believer it really doesn't matter.
I have tried several times to have a serious conversation with a few people about oils and there use in our everyday life. What is the difference between using the oils, like lets say , joy, for this example, instead of relying on the Holy Spirit and pressing into Him for our joy. The Word says , the joy  of the Lord is my strength. When you use the oil of joy, do you still get the strength of the Lord released into your life, or just a brief moment of joy when using the oil? Does the oil give you the same benefits as Holy Spirit ? Or is it just a short cut, to a moment of joy, instead of pressing into a relationship with the Lord for real joy that overflows into the lives of others and is lasting and gives you strength? For some reason, I can't get an answer from a few of the web-sites or blogs I have asked questions from. I am in no way being facetious, I truly want to know. So my observation from their last of response shows me a lack of maturity and a true response to the question. If you can't answer that simple of a question I wonder if the answer isn't there and they don't know. According to the Word of God, we are to have a relationship with the Holy Spirit and when we do, as we mature in Christ we obtain fruit from that relationship. Which is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness and self control. You can not obtain these from an oil for it to be lasting and imbedded into your life. You can not get love from an oil and love all people to your core just by putting oil on your head from a bottle that says love on it. So my next thought is, what spirit is really on that oil? Has the Holy Spirit anointed that oil with love? According to what Gods says true love or joy or peace comes into my being from abiding in Him. So, would someone please give me an answer, where do these oils fit in, when all I have to do is abide in Him. It also says this in John 15, if you abide in Me (Jesus) and I abide in you, you bear much fruit (fruit of the Spirit, love , joy, etc and more) if you don't you are cut off and cast into  the fire. Do you get abiding by using an oil? in place of pursuing the Lord. Do you get the fullness  of what He has by a drop of the oil of peace you put on your wrist before walking out the door. Where do you draw the line of reliance on a bottle instead of His presence in your life.?

Day 13
 


Wisdom of Peace: Remaining peaceful in stressful seasons

Peace is a good thing to have. Peace means: freedom from disturbance, quiet and tranquility, calm and restfulness. Harmony and order. We all need calmness and tranquility in our lives. But how do we obtain this calm?
Worldly religions like New Age, Buddhism, Hindu beliefs and the list can go on,  pride themselves in having obtained total peace, and can teach others how to obtain this peace as well. But what is real peace? A peace embedded within, anchoring us through the roughest of storms. Were do we get peace, and how can we walk out peace in our everyday lives?
Some try meditation or yoga, breathing, exercise, being content with what you have, not striving for more. There are sites on the internet guiding you to peace. The practices and ideas given are good to do just for living a balanced life. Like exercise, forgiving others who have wronged you, instead of seeking revenge, appreciate what you have, respect others and the environment around you, find joy in everyday living, be the change you wish to see in the world and one of my favorite ,have a positive outlook. Another suggestion was be at peace or be peaceful?!
All of these are of course a great way to live life, and each of us should practice and implement in our lives. But, these habits are obtained from inner peace. not necessarily a way to have peace a part of you. You can't forgive if you don't have peace. If you are in inner conflict and want revenge, it is hard to focus and forgive. Yes ,you can appreciate what you have, but in-less you have a peaceful mind you will always want the next new thing.
Peace is  not obtained over night. It takes a willful practice and prayer. One of the gifts Jesus left His disciples was peace. "Peace I leave with you" My peace I give you, not as the world gives...Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful."  But before He gave them this directive,
He told them about the Helper: "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, who the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things...". Peace is a gift from the Holy Spirit. Peace is an attribute, from a relationship with the Holy Spirit. Peace comes from saying no to fleshly passions and ways of living and walking by the Spirit and His anointing. Every time you say no to a reaction out of your flesh, you gain in the spirit. You overcome the flesh by saying no. It takes strength and time. A knowledge of the ways of the Spirit. But it is there for each of us.
Peace also comes from a knowing that God is in control of your life and you put your trust completely in Him. As long as you are pressing into Him and want Him at the center, He will guide you. Having Him first and trusting in Him takes relationship. This takes time. No relationship happens over night. But as you come to know Him, and His love and power for you, it is a secure place to be.
><><<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>><>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<><><><<<<<<<><<<<<<<<<<<
Prayer:
Lord Jesus:  I need Your peace and even more I need You in my life. I want the fruit of the Spirit to be active in me. Help me to walk in peace in all areas of my life. Depending and trusting in You for guidance, wisdom and power to walk out my life in the fullness You have for me. I trust You and want to grow in wisdom, so that I can forgive, be at peace and content with the season you have me in. amen

Day 14


 
Wisdom of Meditation:
 
Philippians 4:8. and 9..whatever is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things. The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things and the God of peace shall be with you.. This is the wisdom of meditation. To read, and re-read and dwell, think on them, get them embedded into your subconscious mind.
To dwell, to memorize and study what is written, helps to put into action what you dwell on. What you fix your mind on is what your reaction will be in a stressful moment. If you look or dwell on TV shows with foul language, and dirty thoughts, this is what you will put out. That will be your thought life. It takes will- power and Gods power to dwell on healthy things. Right, true and pure is not what is main stream in this world we live in. But it could be, if more and more would press in and what is of good repute.
Honestly, if you talk with people they are sick of the gross shows and products that the media keeps bombarding us with. People want peace and goodness. God made us that way.
Mediate each day on some portion of scripture. Or make up memory cards with verses that you can look at each day for a week and dwell on them throughout the day. Think on the meaning, ask God for a deep meaning and how you can apply it to your everyday life. He will guide you into all truth. It isn't easy to dwell on scripture, but if you apply your self each day, you will overcome the barrier, put there by satan to stop you from dwelling on Gods word. Not only will your thought life be changed, but wrong mindsets will fade away, you will have a healthy body, soul and spirit, by reading Gods word.
<><><><>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><><><><<<<<<<<<<<<<<>><><<><><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
PRAYER:
Lord Jesus, anoint our minds to dwell on Your word. Give us the anointing of an overcomer, to press forward into Your word and live it in our daily life. We thank You for the living word, sharper than and two edge sword able to know our thoughts. Let us dwell on good , lovely things. amen 
 

 
 
Gifts of the Spirit: Part 4
list of gifts and we are a gift
 
Now that we have a better understanding of how the gifts are given and how we are to handle them. Lets start using them.!
 
The gift of knowledge is forth telling and the gift of prophecy is for-telling.  One tells the past the other the future. Words of knowledge would be me telling you something about yourself that I have no prior knowledge of, prophecy is telling you what God has for you in the near or far off future.
Gift of wisdom, would come in handy in difficult situations where you need answers to solve problems that you cant get on your own. Gift of faith to move mountains. Gift of miracles to turn water into wine, or cause an arm to go back or an eye to be put back in place etc.. The gift of healing is to cure a disease or illness or cancer or even the common cold.  Gift of discernment, knowing what is going on around you in the spirit realm. Gift of tongues, speaking in an unknown language as well as a known language and the interpretation of that language.
There you have it all the gifts listed in I Cor. 12. There are other gifts, like hospitality and teaching, making others feel wanted and needed that is certainly a gifts we need. Just being who God created us to be is a gift from the Kingdom of Heaven and much needed here on earth. Being true to God and who He made you to be. If we all were being the gift God made us to be there would be such harmony and peace here on earth, as it is in Heaven. Gods gift to us was salvation through His
Son Jesus Christ. Who came here on earth, lived, taught, laughed, cried and died all for us to have a full life in Him. With eternal life in Heaven.
Be the gift God made you to be, live life to the fullest in Him.
<><><><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<><><><>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><><><<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we ask for the gifts of Your Spirit to be alive in each of us. Let us heal the sick, cast out demons, raise the dead, and prophecy to the nations. All for Your glory, all for Your people to know and encounter You. We love and need You daily in our lives, to be what You have called us to be. We ask for the grace, power and wisdom to carry on. amen.

Day 15
 
 


Wisdom of Armor:  Our Strength From God

We are entrusted with supernatural armor. We are given this armor for strength and might. So we may win this earthly battle between good and evil, right and wrong. In the knight hood days, knights wore armor for fighting battles. They had it made especially for them, custom made, custom fit. The knights would save up their pay, just to have a suit of armor custom made to fit them, this would ensure easier movement and protection. their coat of arms or other emblems were stamped on it as well as the makers stamp. The makers stamp, was an advertisement and a seal to show-off who made it. Having a suit of armor made wasn't cheap, but worth it. It could save the wearers life, protect against knife wounds, spear penetration, blunt forces for all kinds of weapons used in battle. The armor wasn't just used for battles. A lot of the knights, when not hired for battles between kingdoms would run the  jousting tournaments circuit and the like. There were competitive sporting events held throughout the land, where  knights or anyone else brave enough would enter sports events. Not all events required armor. But the Knights would bravely display their armor, it was a reflection of who they were, the battles they had won and a reflection of their courage, strength and long-lasting ability to stay in battle and come out the victor.<><>
This is very much a reflection of what our supernatural armor does and is for us. Our armor is given us to stand against the enemy of our souls. With this armor in place we can stand and win the schemes set against us by satan. He is the one who is out to get us, buy any means. His most powerful weapon, well there are two: our ignorance of what is right and wrong and the other is people around us.<><>
We too must aquire this armor. We aren't handed a covering over night and expected to know how to use it. Our armor is the opposite of what satan and his demons would use. He uses hate, our armor against hate is love. He uses hopelessness, we are given hope, he releases chaos, we are given peace, he uses lies, we are given truth. These pieces of armor when put in place will displace any of satan's blows against. Using this armor supernaturally and how God intended will strengthen us with love, peace, truth, righteousness,. We don't learn this over night. But if we continue to press in, putting on peace every time we are attacked with upheaval, by the strength of His might we can keep our armor in place and win.<><
Our armor is something to be displayed and something to be achieved. We need love, peace and hope in our daily lives. We need to be strong in the battle against good and evil, against the ways of the flesh and the ways of the Spirit. These are the two arenas we battle the most. The arenas are< flesh & spirit. the battles are truth and lies. Our king is Jesus and our strength, might and power to withstand and know how to battle comes from the word of God and Holy Spirit.<><>
May you be strong in the Lord and strength of His might.
<><><><>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<><><><<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>><><>><><

Prayer: Holy Spirit, please help us put on our armor of love, peace truth and righteousness. Equip us with our shield of faith, and the strength and might of God, so we may win the battle coming against us. I love you Jesus, fill me with the knowledge of truth and love. Show me the spirit realm, so  I will "see" the reality of what I do when I put on my armor. When I use love in stead of hate, or peace instead of chaos, or when I am lead by Your Spirit instead of my flesh, and with this knowledge we can win the fight. amen.

Gifts of the Holy Spirit: the anointing./Part 3

When we are anointed by Holy Spirit for any task He asks of us, we are given His power. A measure of His power or anointing. This is through the laying on of hands by others with similar anointing or through an encounter with Jesus. We receive a measure, not the fullness of the one anointing us. Holy Spirit will only give us what our character can carry. In other words, our character must be able to hold, carry, use and work with the Holy Spirit. If you have not allowed God the time to refine your character, and He puts the fullness of what He has on you,  soon your gift would be corrupted.  Why? Because the sin which so easily entangles us weights us down, and satan would that to his advantage. <><>
Any strongholds, sins or corrupted mind sets will wage war inside us and if not concord and will control our lives. We can be free of wrong mind sets and strongholds, but we are living in a fallen world and we will sin. It is what you do with that sin that changes things. If you seek God and ask for forgiveness and cleansing,He will do this, always. But if you do not acknowledge the sin, continue in that sin, this is when it leads to a wrong mind-set and a stronghold in your life. This is what will corrupt the power and gifts given to you.<><>
Gifts are given as Holy Spirit wills.  Grace comes with the gift along with authority and power to use the gift to its measured ability. It is that measure which helps us use the gift. We need to operate within the parameters or measure given us. This helps to use the gifts wisely and to the extent which God has placed in you. God knows each of us, what we can and can't handle or carry. If too much power or authority is given you will crumble under the weight of it.<><>
To give an example, in II Chronicles 5 they are dedicating the temple. This is a positive way that the glory of God can come upon you and you can not stand. But think of it in the opposite. His glory is pure, righteous, holy. If this touches our sinful nature, it brings about a reaction whether it be positive or negative.<><>
I am giving you a short list of verses which I feel pertain to how we are to live and carry the power God has for each of us. These scripture will help you gain the holy righteous life needed to carry your gifts wisely and productively: Hebrews 12: 4-15
                                                 Hebrews 5:12 to -6:12
                                                 Titus 3
                                                 II Timothy 2:15-19
                                                 II Timothy 1: 6-14 ...the gifts we are given are a treasure.
                                                Philippinas 2: 3..do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit,(this includes using your gifts)
                                                Colossinas 3:10
                                                I Corinthians 14:1 & 12

I hope you study or meditate on these scripture and as you do may God strengthen, establish and confirm you in your gifts.<><>

My prayer for you: Many blessings to be poured out on your life, being renewed day by day, and  the grace of Christ be upon you, having fellowship with the Holy Spirit, understanding the will of God. Being Kingdom minded in all you do, strengthened with His power to use you gifts wisely, overcoming evil with good, walk with strength and boldness. Being an example to all believers, putting no confidence in the flesh. May His plans and love become established in your life, ears to hear and eyes to see beyond what the world is seeing, but into the depths of true reality. amen.<><

Gifts of the Spirit: living by the Spirit or flesh.....

Having a life with supernatural encounters, has to be one lead by the Spirit. Romans 8: 13...if you are living according to the flesh, you must die, but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body you will live. For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.  Verse 5 teaches us that those who live according to the flesh set their mind on the things of the flesh, but those who are living according to the Spirit the things of the Spirit.<><

When we walk by the Spirit and the Spirit of God dwells in us a door to the supernatural is opened. We will experience a depth never before encounter. This is also the place His gifts operate. The gifts of the Spirit can operate by the flesh. Workings done by the flesh profit flesh rewards ( Romans 8 and Gal. 6 )  Colossians 3 is teaching us to put on our new self, setting our minds on things above, the supernatural or Kingdom way of living. Put on our new man, and put aside evil practices, such as guile and deceit, anger, wrath, malice, slander and the like, you will be renewed. As the renewal process takes place,  we put on love, peace, forgiveness, compassion, kindness, and humility. As we say yes to Holy Spirit our gifts will become stronger and the influence of the flesh diminishes. We all have the gifts, even when not walking with Christ, but there is fleshly influence with them. So they do not operate quite how God intended, in-till the time we allow God access to our spirits and He shapes and molds us with our gifts purified. <><

The gift of prophecy is one example. In the unsaved person, this shows up in Horoscopes, or phone a psychic, or a walk in psychic business. This is corrupted by the prince of this world, satan. Prophecy from this source can be correct in what is said, but the spirit behind it is evil and if you believe the word, I can guarantee curses and bad things will start to come into your life. These  operate out of the spirit realm as well, but by a dark spirit.<><

The foundation or the root of where the gift operate from is vitally important. There is good and evil, right and wrong. Choosing  to use good and seeking the right source for your gifts will bring the Kingdom of Heaven on earth and open up blind eyes to the truth and light.  <><

The goal here is to remove all fleshly influence from our lives, from our walk with God. Those who have said to God, renew a right spirit in me and every false way, are the ones who will excel in the gifts. Ephesians 6: 12 teaches us that our struggle isn't against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces in heavenly places. These "spiritual places" are in the second heaven. This is between us and the third heaven, which is where Christ dwells. We are on earth, satan and his demons come from the second heaven but move about on earth. The third heaven, where Christ, and the heavenly angels dwell, but they too come down to earth when man calls out to them or doors are opened and there is a need for them. Holy Spirit dwells in each person who believes in Christ and is walking with Him and wants a holy righteous life style. The Holy Spirit will not make anyone accept His presence. He does not force His will upon others. When we surrender our will, our life to Him and He comes upon us and dwells inside, this is when He becomes our guide and Helper( John 14).
 It is from this place of surrender, that our hearts and lives are transformed and His gifts are manifested through His Spirit in our walk. Other wise, the gifts are manifested through our dark corrupted spirits. <>< This is where the verse at the beginning of this teaching comes in. What is done by the flesh, reaps the flesh and profits us nothing. I know it seems like there are a lot of deeds, activities, music, plays, sports, whole life styles lived by the flesh. There is nothing wrong with enjoying this beautiful world God made for us to enjoy, but it is what is done with it. You can see the effects of man's miss-use, corruption and degradation showing on this earth. This is because God has not been invited into the situation. He is removed from equation, this is a prime example of what it looks like when things are done by the flesh and not by the Spirit. You see the effects with your eyes, now apply this inward, toward our spirits and how it looks manifested in the spirit realm. The pollution, the degradation done to us and the invisible realm as well. This is what is meant by the flesh. This also has an effect on anyone around us. Nothing done good or bad right or wrong, effects only the one preforming the act.<><
So, as we seek Holy Spirit, asking for His gifts, lets also ask for a clean heart and a pure Spirit with which to use these gifts......<><
 Between now and the next teaching study Romans 8 and Ephesians 2 and Galatians 5. These chapters will give you understanding on the flesh and spirit filled life style.
Part three of this teaching will be on how to use the gifts and the effect they have on the holder and the receiver......in the mean time. Declare this over your life.....may Gods face shine upon me and give me peace, may His Sprit guide me, may I be lead away from evil and temptation and have an angelic encounter and God dreams in the night. teach me  , right from wrong, good from evil.so I will know truth and walk in freedom .. amen
Diana.....<><

Gifts of the Spirit
Part One 
 

Spiritual Gifts : over-view

In I Cor. 12: 4-11 is teaching us there are a variety of gifts and we are each given one or many. The Holy Spirit is the one who distributes these gifts. I believe He distributes these according to our personalities, our calling and our destinies. Gifts are essential to live an abundant, spirit filled life. Gifts give us knowledge and deepen our understanding of the supernatural world. Discernment, gives us insight into the realm where the angels, both good and evil dwell and allows us to move with them or remove them from our lives. This gives us knowledge of the plans of the enemy and how we can war against them.<>The gift of prophecy is used to encourage, edify and teach. Don't confuse this with the call of a prophet. A gift is given to whomever the Spirit wills and is used in everyday life and calls are what God places on leaders. They carry a grace with it to lead nations.<> Call's pertain to leaders, gifts are what equip leaders as well as followers. More about this later<><

Another gift, is tongues.<> Either speaking them or giving and interpretation of what was said. This is speaking in an unknown language. There is also the tongue of speaking a earth known language, so  you may communicate with a different nation. This would be most helpful if you love to travel to other countries and don't have time to go to school to learn their language. But I also feel this gift shows up in individual's who have the ability to learn multiple languages with ease. They seem to be able to retain, as an example French, Russian, German and some African dialect  hardly spoken. and speak them on a regular basis.<>

 I Corinthians 12: 3 - 7 Holy Spirit is teaching us the ways He releases His Spirit to help us. One is by gifts, another is by a variety of ministries and another is by a variety of effects, Effects can be translated as "operation". The actual results of God's grace when it is released.  Each gift or ministry or effects has the potential to change, heal, restore and save those with whom is comes in contact with. If we have been given anyone of these you are to use them.!<> Time spent reading books, or going to a class or listening to teaching cd's from others whom have spent years before us using their gift  is well worth your time. We can learn from others, and in turn teach others what we have learned.<>

I would like to stop here for a moment and let you know there are those are believers but seem to think, we no longer need these gifts. I do not understand this line of thinking. We need all the Spirit can give us to lead a full life and overcome all that would try to stop us. These gifts are one tool used for this. Equipping us with hope, opening our eyes to the supernatural realm, equip us as warriors for the Kingdom, to bring Heaven on Earth, and very useful to minister to those around the world who do not yet know Christ as their Savior. As far as my life goes, I still need this<><

Having the gift of wisdom, a wisdom beyond earthy knowing is very much needed. Not only is daily living, but in law enforcement matters, on a state level, nation running and world over issues. Proverbs 8:6-8 states, for I shall speak noble things, the opening of my lips will produce right things my mouth will utter truth, wickedness is an abomination to my lips. All utterances of my mouth are in righteousness. 21, to endow those who love me with wealth, that I may fill their treasuries. This chapter gives a understanding of what comes with wisdom and the book of Proverbs guides us into  God-given wisdom and how to apply and teach others. So if you have the gift of wisdom, which is the first gift mentioned, study the book of Proverbs, you will gain wisdom and your gift will accelerate. <>

We are given the gifts, but it is up to each one of us to cultivate that gift. To walk it out and acquire or develop the skill going with the gift. When given the gift, I believe it is supernaturally put in our spirits, so we have an ability beyond normal human capacity to use that gift, but not all knowledge, skill or ability pertaining to that gift is in place<>
This can be applied with the gifts, of prophecy, knowledge, wisdom and discernment. <>With the gift of miracles, healing,  tongues and interpretation there are books to read from those who have walked in these gifts, we can learn from them ,the do and don'ts.

Dying to the Old Man,
I just read a resent blog about dying to the old nature and living in my new God given nature. One person asked, "How do I do that on a day to day basis?" That is a good question and would take a book to answer. but I am going to write the daily wisdom, so that we can all overcome the old way of living and get started on the new way in Christ and what He has to offer.
Gal. chapters 5 & 6 give a good description of what the old nature does and then explains what the new nature should look like in our daily life. Each one of us who has accepted Jesus into our life and asked Him to be our savior and have been baptized with water and Holy Spirit has started the process of a new life in Christ. But, we still have old habits to stop and new ones to start. How do we get rid of the bad and start learning the new? The first step, is to daily ask Holy Spirit to show you Jesus in everyday life. Set aside time each day to read the word, teachings by Godly leaders and spend time in prayer. Worship is also necessary. Worship helps us to thank and praise God for who He is and fills our hearts and minds with sounds and words that our minds will dwell on all through our day. Music can heal or harm. The right music, will heal your wounds. God is also enthroned upon our praises. So He is very near, when we solely focus on Him and His attributes.
Study the Bible. Knowledge and wisdom of the ways of kingdom life is essential. Someone who says they are a believer, but they don't read, will have a hard time walking in his new man and have  the Word of God etched in their heart.
New friends are also important. If you truly want to live a new life, you need to let go of all the old. Pray about it, God will guide you. Some say, well you will influence them, and lead them to salvation. If you are a strong person and have soaked in Gods ways, than yes, witness to them. But the word says, not to hang around those who ways are contrary to His.
So study, worship, prayer and trust God. It won't be easy, but it will be worth it.
Just put one foot in front of the other, and the Holy Spirit will lead and guide you. Just keep pressing in!
<><<<<><<<<<<<<<<><><>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<><><>>>><><<><><<><<><><.
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, I want the new man inside me. I want a new life, free from all past addictions, hurts, pains and mistakes. Fill me anew with Your power so, I may say yes to You and no to the old man. I want to be alive in Christ and dead to my old habits. I give You permission to invade my life, Mold me and make me like You. I ask for a spirit of wisdom, revelation, understanding, counsel, might and the spirit of the fear of the Lord, I need these to be the overcomer I am in You! Thank You Jesus, for this new life. amen

Day 21
 
 



The Wisdom of Intercession
What is the difference between prayer and intercession?  Prayer is a solemn request for help or expression of  thanks addressed to God. Intercession is praying on behalf of another person, group of people or nation. We were made to intercede on the behalf of others. When we do it gets our eyes off of ourselves and helps us look to the needs of others and in this God fulfills our needs as well as the needs of others. We interceded on behalf  those who can't pray for themselves because they don't see the need or are in the middle of a very stressful situation and need to be lifted up. We all need help now and again and become weary in the middle of a battle and when someone else steps in on our behalf, that, a lot of times is the key to breakthrough needed.
 
As we press in, on behalf of another we move out of our flesh way of intercession, into the Spirit and He helps us pray as we should. He gives us spiritual wisdom and spiritual thoughts. This takes us deeper, into the realm of the Spirit and we can see what Gods heart is for the situation and pray accordingly.  We then become stewards of the mysteries of God. With these mysteries we can then declare them into the heavens and cause heavens to open and breakthrough to come. We do not engage in physical battles but spiritual ones. These are won by prayers, declarations and intercessions. Ephesians 6:18,19....with all prayer and petition pray at all in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints (intercession), and pray on my behalf that utterance may be given me in the opening of  mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel.... What this is teaching us is that we are to pray on behalf of others so that God will intervene and give them wisdom to overcome the evil one, giving them strength to go forward with boldness preaching and declaring Gods word.
 
Prayer for today:
Lord Jesus, give me a Spirit of wisdom, revelation and understanding when it comes to intercession and prayer. Bring to my mind those who I need to be interceding for and give us all boldness to proclaim your word to those who need to hear from You. I ask for understanding on behalf of others who need You, so that I will pray as I ought to. amen.
