A
Warning
“There is another wisdom that is not
the Wisdom of God. It is the wisdom of the enemy. Sometimes, he can be
difficult to recognize because he tries to appear as Wisdom, and he is very
good at it. The Scriptures reveal that he comes as an “angel of light,” having
‘a form of truth’ and wisdom, but we must be able to distinguish them from the
Truth—we must be able to distinguish them from Wisdom. If for a moment you
start to think that you can’t be fooled by him, you better learn that you can
still be fooled by him.”
“The wisdom of man can never
outsmart the enemy—our defense is to learn to first recognize, and then resist
him.”
“True wisdom is to seek JESUS—THE
WISDOM OF GOD. Any wisdom that does not lead you to Jesus is a false wisdom.
Jesus will always set you free. False wisdom leads to bondage. However, true
freedom often looks like bondage at first, and bondage usually looks like freedom
at first.”
“Suspicion is not the same as true
discernment, but if you are going to suspect anything, suspect what seems easy.
You are not going to find ‘easy’ any path that has been right.
“Taking the easy way may be the
surest way to be misled. Right now the whole world is in the power of the
‘false-wisdom,’ and you will have to overcome the world to fulfill your
destiny.”
“There can be no victory without a
battle, and the greater the battle, the greater the victory. What makes it easy
is that the Lord always leads us to victory. If you stay close to Him, you will
never fail. After every battle, every test, you are much closer to Him and know
Him much better.”
“False wisdom is the deceiver; he
always tries to get you to seek yourself—to be self-centered. The call to
fulfill our destiny is not for our sake, but for the Lord’s sake and for the
sake of His people.”
“Has anyone ever made it to their
destiny without being tricked?”
“I don’t think so.”
“Even the great Apostle Paul
admitted to having been foiled by satan. Peter was tricked a few times that
were recorded in Scripture, and we do not know how many other times that were
not recorded. But don’t be overly concerned about being deceived. That is
actually one of the devil’s biggest traps. He sidetracks many by having them
fear more in his power to deceive than to have faith in the Power of The Holy
Spirit to lead them into all truth. Those who have fallen into this trap not
only fall into increasing bondage to fear, but they will attack anyone who walks
in the freedom that comes with faith.”
“It takes faith to keep going, but
there are those who chose to follow fear rather than faith. They begin to think
that fear is faith and actually see the walls of fear as strongholds of
truth—whereas, such are prisons. Fear distorts vision and can make one to start
seeing strongholds that way. One of the most powerful deceptions of all is the
fear of deception.”
“This life is a temporary journey
used to prepare those who will reign with Christ over the age to come as sons
and daughters of the Most High forever. Every trial is for the purpose of
changing us into His glorious image. One of the first things we must learn on
this journey is not to waste a single trial, but to seize them as the
opportunities that they are. If your path is more difficult, it is because of
your high calling.”
