whoever finds wisdom finds life

I was in my prayer room earlier today, when suddenly my daughter called out for me. Now, you must know, my child is aware that when I step away to my prayer room, I’m going with the intention to meet with the LORD. She also knows not to disturb me unless it is absolutely necessary. And so, here I was laying before the LORD, calling out to Him, when I heard my child call out for me to come to her. And I thought “Why does she always expect me to come to her? She is fully capable of getting up and coming to me?” And I heard in my spirit “That’s how you are towards Me.” I immediately got teary-eyed as I realized that was exactly how I was treating the LORD in that moment. I was calling out for Him to SHOW UP because I NEEDED HIM . I needed to hear His voice. I needed to see His face. I needed to be in His presence, BUT I wasn’t seeking Him wholeheartedly . Like my daughter towards me, I was calling out to God with expectation for Him to come to me. How many of you know that M

“Therefore, since we have now been justified [declared free of the guilt of sin] by His blood, [how much more certain is it that] we will be saved from the wrath of God through Him. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, it is much more certain, having been reconciled, that we will be saved [from the consequences of sin] by His life [that is, we will be saved because Christ lives today].” (Romans 5:9-10) What does it mean to be SAVED ? Several Christians can answer this question without hesitation. They may say something along the lines of “Jesus, the One and Only Begotten Son of God, suffered and died on a cross to pay the price for my sins. He then rose from the grave conquering sin and death. Through Him I am a new creature and I have the promise of eternal life with Him.” And all of that is ABSOLUTELY GREAT! But I am willing to venture that few Christians will say “This same Jesus has saved me from facing the wrath of God.”

“Out of the mouth of eagles, out of the mouths of His prophets comes a roar of power and strength crying “Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty. The whole earth is full of His glory.” With their beaks they tear down, but they can also build up. With their wings they go to and fro, carried by the wind (Spirit). With their talons they pluck up and uproot. Strength and Power are theirs. With their eyes they see far, far beyond all others. The snakes slither on the ground and cannot hide from the eagles for they are far above the ground. Nothing is hidden from their sight.” In prayer this morning, this word came to me from the LORD. For the church, I believe it is a word of both comfort and warning. God is raising up HIS prophets, that are called by Him, chosen by Him. Since they are His prophets, they will have a mighty call full of power and strength and they will exalt God above all things. They will declare the Holiness and glory of God. And their power and stre
