Those Who Seek Wisdom and Discernment, Ask Me
“Those who seek wisdom and discernment, ask Me. You do not have because you do not ask. I am waiting for you to thirst after wisdom and discernment that only I can provide. I will give you that which you seek in My Name. I will forgive and cleanse your sins. I will prepare and sanctify you. I will anoint you with the Holy Spirit and fire. I will open your mind and your heart so that I can pour Myself into you. You will not be able to hold all that I will share and it will spring forth as fruit for others to see. The fruit of the Holy Spirit is your testimony,” saith the Lord.
“I am your Master and Teacher. Make yourself available to Me. Show Me your dedication and persevere through adversity In My Name. Persecution comes to those who follow Me. Mine enemies persecuted Me, even unto death on the cross. Wisdom and discernment comes from running the race which is set before you with endurance and fighting the good fight. You learn from your circumstances. You are taught in the midst of your trials. They teach you to come to Me first in prayer, to depend on My strength and power. This is how I grow your faith in Me. I will go with you through the fires of life and you will come out the other side refined and ready to be used for My kingdom’s work with a testimony of how I moved on your behalf,” saith the Lord.
“So ask Me in prayer for that which you desire and know that I hear you. I know your heart and your thoughts. Walk in the Spirit and seek to live a righteous and holy life pleasing in My sight. The fruits of the spirit will become evident for all to see. Study My Word to show thyself approved rightly discerning the truth. I am pouring Myself into you. Continue to abide in the vine, My Beloved, the Holy Spirit is bestowing wisdom and discernment even now,” saith the Lord.
