Heart of the Wise

The psychology or mindset of the religious people who killed Jesus is that they were doing God’s will by killing Jesus because they thought Hewas a sinner and satanic man. I mean, people spat on Christ and hanged him naked in public as a common criminal. Selah. ******* Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for his own sins! (NLT) But [in fact] He has borne our griefs, And He has carried our sorrows and pains; Yet we [ignorantly] assumed that He was stricken, Struck down by God and degraded and humiliated [by Him]. (AMP) Isaiah 53:4 ******* But the rulers of this world have not understood it; if they had, they would not have crucified our glorious Lord. (NLT) None of the rulers of this age recognized and understood this wisdom; for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.  (AMP) 1 Corinthians 2:8 ******* Don’t be fooled by what they say. For that day will n

  Satan is like a sieve that sifts the genuineness of the faith of those who stand out for Christ. He sifts only wheat. The rest are considered tares or trash. Our faith won’t fail in the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord! ******* And the Lord said, “Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat. (NKJV) Simon, Simon (Peter), listen! Satan has demanded permission to sift [all of] you like grain; (AMP) Luke 22:31 Then Satan answered the LORD, “Does Job fear God for nothing? Have You not put a hedge [of protection] around him and his house and all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands [and conferred prosperity and happiness upon him], and his possessions have increased in the land. But put forth Your hand now and touch (destroy) all that he has, and he will surely curse You to Your face.” Then the LORD said to Satan, “Behold, all that Job has is in your power, only do not put your hand on the man himself.” So Satan departed from the

  True holiness is a work of Grace. True regeneration is a work of God. True sanctification is a work of God . It is God who foreknows, predestines, calls, justifies and glorifies. See, true righteousness is not by human effort. Only the righteousness of Christ the Messiah holds true before the Holy, Holy, Holy God! Thus, by His substitutionary sacrifice and by the wonderful work in His bodily death, burial and resurrection, Christ Jesus imputed to His own (true) righteousness as a gift of divine grace. “Now being justified by faith, we have peace with God.” On the contrary side of the divide, the wicked and cursed devil fears and fights true childlike faith. For it is the shield of faith that neutralizes or quenches all of his fiery darts. Satan the archenemy of God and man lures people to sin, deceiving them to think that he loves or cares about them hence his constant luring and offering of sinful pleasure to them. This selfsame Satan simply seeks to trap their souls with sin and th

  We must own our relationship with God or our walk with God.  We don’t need to be ashamed or afraid of the specific work of sanctification or service He has done and is doing in us, be it mighty or messy. Both strengths and shortcomings will bring Him glory as He works in and through us. We were created for God’s pleasure. We are His workmanship. He is working in us so He can work through us. We don’t need to be ashamed or afraid of the mess He has to take out of our lives to make us more like Him. We can trust Him to do an excellent work of salvation and sanctification. We are here to please Him, not please people . Like gold, as we go through the refining fires of sanctification or spiritual growth in readiness or preparation for spiritual service at different levels, the dross has to be taken out of our lives and we must not be ashamed or feign perfection while we are in the process of purification. We must genuinely humble ourselves and wholeheartedly entrust ourselves to Him . We

  There’s a sweet and profound difference between knowledge and capacity.  Knowledge is usually acquired or assimilated through reading or listening to information that is communicated and understood. Capacity is grown or built usually through personal meditation or application that transforms that knowledge or understanding into practical manifestation and personal mastery, to the level or extent that it manifests almost or actually unconsciously. You’ve probably heard of the 4 main levels of competence:  1. Unconscious Incompetence  2. Conscious Incompetence  3. Conscious Competence  4. Unconscious Competence  That fourth level is the dimension where the “word has become flesh”, meaning, the lettered information or knowledge acquired has further undergone transformation, in-depth imbibing or is personalized and internalized so much so that the individual is now an embodiment of such values and actionable thoughts which the knowledge consists of. In biblical words, a “living epistle “
