Finding truth..

Ephesians 6:12 AMP

For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere.

Knowing this explains a lot...it makes you realize you are in a constant war..especially since the enemy always has his sights on your family. Thank God for His provision! It is for this that we must put on the armor of God and fight......

Seeking Wise Counsel

What I have learned..

This one is really a no brainer....but yet, it is the simple things that we let trap us..

In God's word, there is lots of versus about Wisdom and seeking wise counsel...everyone would probably agree that, that in its self is a no brainer and something we need to do...However, that's probably the last thing we do..

Whenever we are angry or hurt or frustrated, our flesh seeks and desires someone to listen to us that will agree with us and tell us that we are right, its a way of "feeding our flesh"...and to be honest, that at that time feels right.

But what I have learned, is that if I set "myself" aside and seek wise counsel, (like He said), the outcome is different and I end up learning something (crazy ain't it) or actually growing and becoming a little better...

or how about this....

When I really am angry with someone, I do what I was taught, I go to the Lord and pray for them...sweet right? NOT....especially if I start praying like David did ( hint hint...that's what I do at first)....I pray like he did for my enemies...Oh Lord strike them down, SMITE them...turn your back on them!!! but in the middle of that, I hear the wise counsel....and then I remember I am suppose to be forgiving my enemy and praying for blessing for my enemies...not for the Lord to strike them down... its there where I learn to be humble...but the point is, I could never get there, if I only found someone to "feed my flesh" when I'm upset..

So whats the point of all this yakking? Glad you asked...besides its my blog and I felt like talking, you know I am a women...of course I like talking.....I'm just thankful to God for putting people in my life that are "wise"...not worldly wise, but Godly wisdom...(I got all the worldly wisdom I need). These people have spoke life into me, not just words...they fill me with food and place me back on the narrow path. Having that, is a great blessing...they don't feed my flesh and side with me, they instead set me back on the side I'm suppose to be.

so end of lesson....don't rant to someone who will only agree with you and feed your flesh...find someone who knows the Lord, and will speak TRUTH (ouch!!! that hurts sometimes) and LIFE!!

end result...humulity...peace....closer to HIM.....
