The Difference—wisdom for the one who wants to understand

God always decides the Difference.

Truth or sin, that is your choice. There is no other option or escaping this choice. All of creation, world events, and the timing of mankind are in the balance. You cannot avoid what God is doing nor deny what is taking place.

The ‘new normal’ is here and everything will only get worse. Wrong is now right, bad is now good, and evil is OK. We are now told, “Satan is not all that bad” and you can keep your sin—sin is good.

We are now in the evolution of accepting the Anti-Christ and the message of the Beast. The more corrupt the ‘lifestyle’ the more normal we are told it is.

As it was in the days of Noah (as the Bible states) so will it be at the second coming of Christ. Humanity loves its sin and wants to keep it! This is the ‘new normal’ and it is sin that is driving the destruction of the earth.

God’s wisdom is the difference and our only option, if we want to be saved from the ‘new normal’, is to choose His wisdom and reject our sin.

Saying for the Week

God’s wisdom does not make one ‘smart’ its purpose is for peace.

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. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace. (James 3:17-18 KJV)

So, this is why there is little righteousness in our lives,

we do not have God’s wisdom creating peace!

Living in the Crossroads

Guest write/Phillip Lee

For every one of us, one of the great crossroads in life is trying to come to terms with choices children, friends, and family members are making that are no longer within our control. Often, we feel helpless to stop what is happening, and it is often a very frustrating, if not frightening position in which to find ourselves.

Ultimately, our choices about how we are going to react are sometimes all we have left. Even if God were to answer the question “why” He has allowed this or that to happen in our families and friendships, this would not change the fact that it has happened. We must face reality, and understand that life, at least in some respects, just may never be quite the same again.

However, looking through the eyes of faith, it will become much better, as we learn the lessons the Lord has for us in “this situation.” To that end, in light of our acceptance of this reality, we can ask, “What now, Lord?” rather than, “Why?”

The Difference—wisdom for the one who wants to understand

(The difference is here!)

Have you been paying attention to what God is saying and doing among His people? God’s difference is here and there have been scores of prophecies, words of knowledge, and testimonies across our nation. I wrote about what was going to take place last February and as God spoke, it is now taking place. He told me months ago, over a year ago, that I was not to call the next move of God a “revival” because it would not end in 3 to 5 years but continue until Christ’s Second Coming! God has confirmed this among others in the Body of Christ that this testimony is true and accurate.

What makes this next movement of the Holy Spirit so different is that the Body of Christ will become “one” just as Christ confessed, as the Book of Acts stated when Pentecost came, and exactly as Ezra chapter 3:1 states, “When the seventh month came and the Israelites had settled in their towns, the people assembled as one man in Jerusalem.”

It is time to get involved in the difference of God’s wisdom and manifestation!

The Difference—wisdom for the one who wants to understand

(Do you understand the difference?)

Can you see the difference between individuals who have the mark of the beast on their hands or forehead (Revelation 13:1617) and Christians that have the name of God on their foreheads (Revelation 14:1)?

(If you can, God says you have wisdom, and I guess if not, you are more than ignorant and blind!)

It is happening right in front of us today–Revelation 13:18)

Get this wisdom!

The Difference—wisdom for the one who wants to understand

(Do you understand the difference?)

Regarding the nine Gifts of the Spirit…if the Gift of Miracles and the Gifts of Healing are working in the Body of Christ, then why is the Gift of Faith needed?

Why is it needed, how does it work, and for what purpose?

Satan wants you to pay for each of your sins,

while God wants to give you freedom in forgiving every sin.

Let’s Talk Faith

Hebrews 11:3:

By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what are visible. (NIV)

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. (KJV)

You can read any version of the Bible and all translations use the term ‘understand’. So, faith causes one to understand? How can this be? We are told so often that faith is believing or trusting or overcoming. If one understood the Book of Proverbs, one would have no problem with faith-producing understanding.

Do not misunderstand me, faith is not being smart or knowledgeable or even being clever. No, faith is the vehicle to understanding. One cannot understand any purpose of God or how God works without faith. Let me explain. Anytime you respond to any truth or work of God you are operating in faith. This response of yours can be a physical action, a mental action or both. It is a choice. Faith operates with very little believing but finds its strength in your choosing—your choice. Once you choose to respond to anything God does, God calls you a person of faith, just like all the examples in Hebrews chapter 11.

This verse Hebrews 11:3 begins this chapter on the topic of faith. If we are to have faith, we must also have understanding. God does not want us ignorant or doubtful. Much of our power in Christ comes to us in understanding and this understanding is connected directly to faith.

As verse 3 states, what we now see (our world or the universe) was not made by the materials that exist in this world/universe. You cannot “see your way” to how God created the whole universe, even though science keeps trying to find these “pieces”—what are the initial materials or energy particles that caused all things to be as they are today. Science will never find the one particle or truth that binds all things together or the beginning of all things. Why, because it is looking to what is now to prove what was.

The Bible says just the opposite. God is and therefore all things exist. God is the starting point and once we choose this fact (our choice), that God is, then understanding begins and we can accept and know what God has created and how it was created.

It takes more strength of character to choose God than to accept scientific dogma. Faith requires greater choices than science can ever offer us. Every time I choose God something changes in my life for the better, when I accept scientific theories, this only makes me feel important or smarter.

Science will never find what it is looking for regarding ‘the beginning of all things, but it will give us marvelous insight into how great and magnificent the universe is (God’s creation). Nevertheless, God’s wisdom not only offers ‘new-beginnings,’ but God is the beginning of everything.

So, the next time you are struggling with understanding, start by increasing your faith. Remember, without faith, you can never please God but when you please Him, your faith will change everything and bring you all understanding.
