Seeking Wisdom?

"If you are seeking wisdom, study King
Solomon. 1 Kings chapter 3 gives you instructions on how to do so! First, you have to have a genuine love for God. Second, you must have a sincere desire to bless others. God was so moved by Solomon's heart and sacrifice that He appeared to Solomon in a dream and asked what he wanted. Solomon, acknowledging his youth and lack of knowledge, asked for an understanding mind and a hearing heart, which is often interpreted as a request for wisdom and knowledge. Solomon recognized that his thinking level wasn't sufficient for the position of king. He admitted his lack of wisdom and need for direction. Sometimes, we need to admit our limitations so that God can help us. 

The Bible says that it pleased God when Solomon didn't ask for wealth or the lives of his enemies, but instead genuinely desired wisdom to lead his people in the right direction. In order to obtain wisdom, you must have a passion to be a blessing to others. There must be fire and determination in your heart if you want the spirit of wisdom to elevate you in ministry, business, relationships, politics, and every area of your life. 

The third condition to access wisdom is through sacrifice. Solomon's sacrifice of 1000 burnt offerings moved God so much that He Himself appeared in a dream, instead of sending the messenger angel Gabriel. What are you willing to sacrifice to get God's attention? Psalm 50:5 says that there is a level of sacrifice that automatically becomes a covenant with God. There is a level of passion and hunger that helps you encounter the Father. Your sacrifice and humbleness draw the presence of the Lord. I hope this helps. God bless!"

I am the image of God part 2!!!!

When God created us he made us 1 being in 3 elements a Trinity made up of  Spirit, Body, and Soul. He patterned our makeup after him because God is 3 being in 1 as well The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit which is a Trinity. We are a reflection of the father in the earth .  1Thessalonians 5:23 May God himself, the God of peace,  sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul  and body be kept blameless  at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Mind   The mind is the spirit man its where we connect with God. It is where we communicate and fellowship with God. We love ourselves, each other, and God in the mind. We have a purpose, meaning, and worship in the mind(spirit). It is also where we have communion and deciphers Good and evil. The mind is where our spiritual heart lives. That's why the enemy attack our mind because he knows that's how we stay connected to God.  Body The body is often referred to in the bible as temple, house, and host. It

Discovering myself after an abusive relationship!!!!!!

So many women today are dealing with some form of abuse. Statistics show that it takes a woman being abused 7 times minimum before walking away from an abusive relationship. Growing up, I’ve seen women in abusive relationships and I thought to myself, "I could never sta y with a man that abuses me." But then it happened. I fell in love and got engaged to who I thought, at the time, was my future husband. Boy, was I wrong! The relationship became abusive mentally, physically, verbally, and emotionally, and for the first time in life, I genuinely feared for my life. The amount of fear I felt was paralyzing me more and more each day. Even though I was free to walk out the door, it felt like a leash was tied around my neck like a caged animal. I can recall multiple nights texting my parents and grandparents and my friends and family, telling them that I love them out fear of never seeing them again. Every day that I woke up was a blessing. I wanted to leave. I planned my e

We are Spirit that lives in a Body and have a Soul..... Chart.....

Romans 8:6-8   King James Version (KJV) 6  For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7  Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8  So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
