OK….the key to wisdom is its application because that shows you have UNDERSTANDING…
So I woke up this morning to God just slapping me in my face with some real self exposure…needless to say, I was broken…At the end of it, I sat on my bed thinking “what now…?”, “what’s the conclusion…?”, and I felt like it was really time for me to change my mentality…change is never easy, but it has to be done…
So I decided to just reflect on all the wisdom I’ve obtained since the beginning of the year, and I was SOOO blessed by it, and realised this “change” has been a long time coming…
Basically, what I’m about to do is a summary of all my recent blogs since the beginning…there is a theme, and it’s time to turn the wisdom into understanding…
- Hello World/Defying Gravity: discover who you truly are, so you can decipher what you truly need…don’t do anything for the sake of doing it…be true to yourself…Defying gravity is rising above what isn’t you, the fakeness, the busy body-ness, the drama, the extra-ness and identifying yourself with like-minded-ness and beneficial-ness (i make up words all the time lol)
- All You want for Christmas is ME: Christ requires my untainted, undivided service for Him. In 2009, I definitely played a fiancée role. I tried on many occasions to fool Christ, giving Him the parts of me that I was comfortable with Him seeing or having. 2009 was about my “comfortability”, how much I could bear, how much of me I could handle and cope with…2010 may be your year of increase, or breakthrough or uncommon miracles…..but it will be my year of serving my King as He intended me to in Jesus Name!…2010 is about DESIRING Christ…
- Determined to Live: I began that process and began to be real with God. I had to let down my walls with Him, give Him my pain, and submit even the parts of me that I’m not comfortable with to Him. The breaking began with coming to grips with some difficult situations that had happened to me as a child that I never dealt with and had never spoken about…and that was the vulnerable, fragile, weak, ugly side of me, but that’s what God wanted…You have to DECIDE to give it all to God, and THAT is living with no restraints, because everything that WOULD hold you back, God now holds…
- January Recap: Deal with your frustrations..Yesterday is gone, tomorrow is coming, but today is NOW…you can’t change what happened yesterday, nor can you say what will happen tomorrow, so the best thing you can do is live for today
- JTW I: This is where is all began…Wisdom is the salvation of all who run to her…any fear you have will be crushed by the spirit of wisdom, which essentially is the Spirit of God…
- JTW II: applying yourself to wisdom will bring righteousness and the Fear of the Lord
- February Recap: February was a lot to do with the heart…even though masked as friendship, friendship is a heart issue. Understanding the connections of your heart will help you distinguish real friendships from fake ones
- Who Told You You Were Naked…!?: Why have you let everything everyone has said to you take root in your heart so much that your vision of yourself is so tainted and flawed!?
- JTW III: Where are you going!?
- JTW IV: If you’re guarding your heart, you are guarding your life…they are the same! don’t give your life away so easily!
- JTW V & March Recap: He will satisfy the soul of the righteous, wisdom will get rid of all the unwanted characteristics in your life, Your most random thoughts are usually an indication to what is TRULY going on in you heart. If we all just stopped dismissing them as just random and looked into them just a BIT more in depth, we’d see what our heart is trying to tell us, and that some certain issues need to be addressed…
- JTW VI: It all starts in the mind people…if you realise the power of you mind, you will change the direction of your feet
and finally this one: the long and short of all my blogs is this: GOD WANTS OUR HEARTS!
He wants to deal with them, to break them down, to gut out all the garbage, to clean it up, to change it, to heal it, to nourish it, to change it etc etc…
Wisdom is about finding out what is going on in your heart so you can understand what is going on in your world…
I’m done here…if you get a chance, read over some of the previous blogs, but I’m so enjoying my heart being changed…it’s a scary but comforting experience…
