Childlike or Childish

Came in all excited and “BAM” felt like I got punched. Sharing with my client, my assistant. It was just a Friday work day. I arrive at work always willing to share my new revelation what God is doing in my life. This was a day I needed to see outside of myself to realize we are all made different and to except our differences and respect where others are don’t crash boundaries. My assistant comes in and says you talk way too much, then my client joins her yes, you are always talking. My assistant  says I can always tell when she is lonely, she calls me, and I don’t answer. Ouch. Well I can say it hit me for a moment. Then I remember if I get triggered its usually something in me. Went quite inward to see what was lurking in my foundation. This is what I found. “Sometimes things happen for you not to you ”You can’t know yourself by yourself it takes an outsider to help you see if we are brave and courageous enough to look at the criticism. The bible calls it an open “Rebuke” I called on His wisdom. James 3:17-18 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere, and a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. Another translation uses peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Let’s take a look at “Wisdom” prudence, discernment, foresight, flexibility and persistence. Wisdom if we will listen will prevent us making wrong choices that bring heartache. My perception verse wisdom. We are all problem solvers at some level in our lives I just so happen to enjoy looking at relationships and being a voice of reason and truth. What I found is we all have an audience. I lead a hurting mom’s group on Monday nights and the women ask me all kinds of questions and say we could listen to you all night. WELL there you have it was I was trying to solve a problem where I had no authority to without the permission of another. I was humbled as He spoke truth. Finding your audience will save you heartache. Not everyone is like you except differences and let others be themselves. You will know your audience they will want what you have to say. They are your assignment. Release the voice inside of doubt things aren’t always as they appear. Matt 10:16 Behold, I am sending you out like sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. My charge as a believer is to be Christlike in a godless world. Rise to be with Him in the place of authority in heavenly places. We can become love if we follow His leading. Not the voice of the adversary. WE must not compromise our self we are all we got. We are His handmaidens He has suited us for every good work He has put before us the only way to advance is to follow His voice filled with the word the end goal is LOVE. Mark 12:30-31 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this “Love your neighbor as yourself. May we learn to love well keeping our hearts open and not build walls of defense let His love cover you. You will be complete in Him. Funny, sharing with my daughter last night how I crossed 3 lanes to get gas for $3 a gallon. Get there to realize $2.30 was a better deal. I felt the wink and laughter of my Father as he says silly you, I love your child like heart. Be Yourself !

That’s when it hit me. We can be silly talk a lot and have no grid for what is really is happening. I felt as though the little girl was shaping what has been my view in many ways. She was struggling to be seen. It was a new way of seeing as He took me deeper into understanding. We can view life from an empty place or we can hear His voice and follow. He was asking me to allow Him to heal the childish chattering little girl so the Emerging Bride can arise in all His glory she be found hidden in Christ not her broken view of the way she sees. Eph. 2:6 In our union with Christ Jesus He raised us up with Him to rule with in the Heavenly world. What He was sharing you are seeing from earthy not the heavenly Bride clothed in Him she has authority not of her own and will sit with me.

We are to co labor worker with Christ the apart from Him we can do nothing.

I Cor. 3:9 He who plants and he who waters are one purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor. For we are Gods fellow workers ; you are Gods field, Gods building. By the grace of God has given me I laid the foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one who must be careful how he builds.

We must build on the found the one already been laid, which is Christ Jesus.

1 Cor 3:12 if anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver precious stones, wood, hay or straw. His workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each mans work. (heart)  If what he has built survives, he will receive a reward. If it is burned up , he will suffer loss. He himself will be saved, but only as if through the flames. Do you not know that you yourselves are Gods temple and  that Gods spirit dwells in you. If anyone destroys Gods temple, God will destroy him; for Gods temple is HIOLY and you are that temple. Let wisdom not deceive himself. If anyone of you thinks he is wise in this age, he should become a fool, so that he may become wise, for the wisdom of this world is foolishness in Gods sight. As it is written “He catches the wise in there own craftiness, and again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.

In other words if what I am thinking on and building doesn’t reveal Christ it is futile. Futile incapable of producing any useful result; pointless, vain, fruitless mean producing no result, implies simple failure to achieve a desired result. (ouch)

In other words is what I’m believing is it  producing faith.

1 Peter 1:7 so that the authenticity of your faith-more precious than gold, which perishes even through the fire-may result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Is what I am producing is not of FAITH. The bible calls it sin. If what I am living out of the well is not producing Faith and the reveling of Christ its not Faith.

Missing the mark.  The Greek word for sin. To fail to achieve the outcome. which is FAITH, we are unsuccessful in our attempts. Righteousness is a combination of two words, right, meaning correct, and wise. Is what I believe what I am walking out in my every day choices does it produce KINGDOM. Righteousness, Peace and JOY in the Holy Spirit. It is futile and of no regard sin not birthed out of Faith. May we hear what He is speaking and repent from our childish ways and walk as true sons and daughters He has called us to be. Carrying Kingdom authority.

More and more as we see the day approaching may we put off sin and walk In His precious promises. He will never leave us or forsake us. Be stead fast in your faith.

Trust His leadership He is a good Father and delights in giving you the KINGDOM!

I will wait on my KING. Will you?

His Eternal Bride
