Happy is man that findeth wisdom (God), and man that getteth understanding (from Him). For merchandise of it is better than merchandise of silver, and gain thereof than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies: and all things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honor. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.

My son, attend to my words (God will let you know which verses apply to need of your heart); incline thine ear unto my sayings (whatever He reveals to you). Let not them depart from thine eyes (When God gives you a promise; stick it on your refrigerator, tack it to your dashboard, don't let Satan rob you with doubts. Don't forget it until God brings it to pass. He is faithful.): keep sound wisdom (Satan wouldn't ask you to do something good and God wouldn't ask you to do something that isn't love.) and discretion (The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.): So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck. Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble. When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet. Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of desolation of wicked, when it cometh (Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you.) For Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.

He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: (Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through faith of operation of God, who hath raised him from dead.) Which were born, not of blood, nor of will of flesh, nor of will of man, but of God.

Except a man be born of water and of Spirit, he cannot enter into kingdom of God. That which is born of flesh is flesh; and that which is born of Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of Spirit.

Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by word of God (word God speaks to you), which liveth and abideth for ever. (He isn't dead.)

By a new and living way, all things made new; put on new man, sons of Living God, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Bishops of your own souls, Spirit will guide you into all truth. And I John saw holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

Will you marry God and let Him be your husband? To live a life of Victory - give God all your heart, soul, and mind. Could you be a lamb's wife and make yourself ready? I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one as we are one; and that world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

God only wants His throne back so He can love and dwell among us. Only He knows how to defeat Satan every time. The Kingdom of God comes not with observation. His temple is within YOU. He desires not yours, but a wonderful relationship with you. All things new, these words are faithful and true.

My meat is to do will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. Therein will you also find life more abundantly. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. When ye therefore shall see abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel prophet, stand in holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:).

But when ye shall see abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to mountains: In those days, and in that time, saith Lord, children of Israel shall come, they and children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek Lord their God. They shall ask way to Zion with their faces thitherward, saying, Come, and let us join ourselves to Lord in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten. My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace. All that found them have devoured them: and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against Lord, habitation of justice, even Lord, hope of their fathers.

Behold, I will send you Elijah prophet before coming of great and dreadful day of Lord: And he shall turn heart of fathers to children, and heart of children to their fathers, lest I come and smite earth with a curse.

________________________________________________ Also, thou son of man, children of thy people still are talking against thee by walls and in doors of houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is word that cometh forth from Lord. And they come unto thee as people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness. And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do them not. And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them. Ez. 33:30-33 © by Joyce C.

As a result, they choose a life of few blessing and even fewer miracles. They choose to barely squeeze through Heaven's gate when they could walk a life of victory now. They choose to leave loved ones behind, to do everything hard way, to live a life of heartache and despair. They choose to be their own God.

The truth is, a little bit of something isn't worth much at all.
