Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world (1 John 4:1).
Today’s Devotional The 15 wisdom issues listed below will help us learn how to wisely judge the various forms of revelation we will encounter in our adventure with Christ.
1. Search for proper exegesis and Scriptural context.
2. Focus on Jesus.
3. Major on the “main and plain” things.
4. Follow biblical principles—not the rigid letter of the law.
5. Build bridges. We must keep ourselves clean from spiritual pride.
6. Honor and pray for leaderShifters and leaders.
7. Be aware of times and seasons. We can predetermine by His guidance, but also welcome spontaneous occurrences.
8. Let love rule.
9. Maintain SWAY(Supernatural Wisdom All Year) not balance. There is a godly tightrope of dynamic tension between the reality of subjective experience and biblical doctrine.
10. Understand the relationship of divine initiation and human response. Although some external, visible, and audible signs are divinely initiated, some of them are human responses and reactions to the Holy Spirit.
11. Be known by your fruits.
12. Perceive the works of God and the motives of people.
13. Control your flesh and cooperate with God.
14. Be alert and aware. Let us search the Scriptures, review Church history, seek the Lord, and receive input from those who are wiser and more experienced than us.
15. Avoid spiritual ditches. There are two deep ditches we should avoid. We should watch out for analytical skepticism and fear (of people, rejection, fanaticism, and so forth).
Looking over the 15 items above, evaluate where you currently stand in each one(please be honest with God, yourself, and the Holy Spirit):
1. How does your personality affect the rating of the wisdom items above?
2. Pick three of the wisdom issues that you have rated most operational in your life. Pick three that is the highest, and three that is the lowest. How will you help transfer these to someone else? How can you formally or informally mentor him or her?
3. Look at the three wisdom issues that you rated the lowest. What will you do to bring them forward?
4. Do you see any of these wisdom issues as more important than the others? Why or why not?
Meditation If you can’t jump in the middle of it, bless it. If you can’t bless it, then patiently observe it.
If you can’t patiently observe it, then just don’t criticize it!
Do not stretch out the rod of your tongue against those things you do not understand!
What does this mean to you?

1Yes we're going to say yes for this because we'd like to know what we're reading and we like to be pacific in the scripture that were referring to as well we like to pick the scripture and let it speak to our spirits. A verse that speaking to us that God had led us too.
2. Yes we do call ourselves very much focused on Jesus he is our everyday thought our everyday prayer is to him and God is just amazing on the leadership that he showed us and I'm actually currently reading on Jesus and how he was touching different lives in the Bible from the Book of John and it's just to know how he went in and chapter 5 speaking to the Samaritan woman and how he was explaining to her he needed a drink and then her mentioning afterwhile how Christ is coming and how he'll explain everything to them why they have to Worship in Jerusalem and how God was breaking it down today was speaking on things that they don't know and he and the Jews were speaking on what they you know and how a day is coming when they don't have to worship at a mountain and in Jerusalem only they can able to be praying and spirit and just him explaining how he is the Christ that she was waiting for like everyone is waiting for he is he when it's just knowing you know and getting to know Jesus for us all over again it's just a new different experience and it's just eye opening and just phenomenal to know him all over again and to read the verses that he spoken out of his mouth really touches us deep in our spirit and it's just amazing. I normally be reading it as if I was the woman he was speaking to and it was amazing and when the woman was told this and how he basically describe their whole life and he also knew that she wasn't a wife that she didn't have a husband she knew that he was a prophet of that and went and told people and they came back and now they knew for they self that he was the prophet and possibly the Messiah so just to know that much and just reading it's just amazing so yes we definitely call ourselves focus on Jesus yes getting to know him all over again what he did sacrificing himself for us yes.
3. Yes we believe that God is a major part of our lives and we see him as a major part of our lives so we definitely want to be in control to be just as major as God you know having hi

3. Yes we believe that God is a major part of our lives and we see him as a major part of our lives so we definitely want to be in control to be just as major as God you know having him as our everything and being able to do everything and a major way that God designed for us to do.
4. Yes we agree that we follow the biblical principles we want God to be proud of us and we want him to know that we are all in it for him and we definitely would love to follow the way Jesus has led us to believe and as we should walk as leaders and we want to know the truth and walk in that truth as Jesus did can not walk in a made-up pass down think they know way and walk of that cuz the truly know and follow was already been put on paper or already been implanted in our hearts and already been implanted out there it's a big difference to actually follow with Jesus has put out there and what he spoke to His prophets then to go off of what man said and it wasn't true at all and which will not get you into the heavens.
5. For us we understand what it means about staying clean from spiritual Pride there was a time or two where we ourselves had came to a place where we had to check ourselves and remind ourselves really wash that out really pray against that attribute that out because It Came Upon more to it to us and had his feelings at some type of way and we shouldn't have been in that place so what we did was start reviewking it when it try to come up when it's try to say that we don't need to listen when we do when it tries to come in out us and our spirits and letting us you know feel some type of way we just pray that emotion out we pray that spirit away because it has no place here and we are getting stronger and stronger and knowing and more listening and less going into that prideful spirit because it's not a healthy spirit is not something that can help us grow spiritually or get a closer to God so we definitely want to keep casting that out and put it in a place where it does not have any access to our spirit.
6. We most definitely believe in honoring and praying for our leaders shifters for those that are ahead of us being able to teach us and part wisdom into us and we don't understand things you know they help you know break it down and explain things that we are unaware of maybe in our actions or maybe in our tone of voice or Maybe in our walk with God you know they want to lend a helping hand or they want to just give advice or whatever it's really helpful and so we make sure that we pray for our leaders as well. Pray for their strength pray for knowledge understanding more of it you know so they can pass down more that knowledge to us and we just pray fully you know that they able operate and function in an orderly fashion because it can be very challenging at times you know that's why Its so greatful to have God you know on our side because God can give us you know the patients that we need and so that's why it's good to just stay prayerful and everything.
7. Praise God we are at this time focusing more on our awareness of times and what season we are in praise God we are in a season of Happiness we're in the season of blessings where the season of wealth that's our season right now and we're in a prayerful season as well as a deeper connection with God season is our season right now but we also are aware that for others their time and season is different some this is their season of loss this is their season of grief and that's why we stay prayerful every single season but we're still learning you know what season and times that we are in at the moment still learning still room for growth in that area.
8. We are still learning on letting love rules completely we have let the love of God and we have learned to love ourselves and a better greater way than we have we came a long way from loving ourselves and letting God love us we've come a long way but there's still more growth and maturity and some things to be let go for us to fully get the full effect and the effectiveness of the love and letting it rule us completely.
9. Praise God for sway and I like to say every single day lets sway all day let let let sway all day praise God having sway Supernatural wisdom everyday is the best thing you could say for your day I totally agree not to say balance because things are not always going to be balance for you and actually gets worse sir so thanks way able to flow from here to there and get this done and get out here swaying to the left to get this done your swing to the right to get this done you're sweating and Sprite to get this done you know it's it's just wonderful because things do come to alignment when you say at this way and flow this way also there still room for growth for us in this area as well we're still doing our best to sway the best that we can to get things done and we're definitely growing in this area we have come from a place the sloth Spirit we have come from a place where we still have to rebuke it and we're still swaying in our own way and we're continually getting better praise God.
10. For us we're going to say yes we definitely have the human responses part to the Holy Spirit when we know his present when its presence is in the room we immediately feel that we should be you know just jumping with Glee and just you know just the whole Holy Spirit presence and initiation and we still you know we come forth and I feel you know the holy spirit in you you know in connection with us when we get our feeling that we get inside of us that God is here in his presence is here you know we do we do we have a human response we're like a little kid like just like that and it is obvious when we get into our little kid mode when Dad basically comes down from the Heavens to visit you know we have our human response moments as well praise God.
11. Praise God for us we would have to say that we are known by our fruits there are quite a few people in our lives that have came to us and told us how much we have blessed them and you're no speaking life into them and made them rethink about some decisions that they were going to do and because of a woman of God I am because of my beliefs and because of what I stand for in my walk with God they look what I said serious and they actually did it and got better results out of what would have happened if they wouldn't listen and I had quite a few people who also was just one of my patients from work and they were saying You must be a woman of God you got that talk in that built that way about you that we can see it you know so I would have to say yes we definitely are living by our fruits that we put out there so God is definitely touching us in a mighty way and like I always say there's still room for growth and four more in this area of Our Lives.
12. Praise God we definitely perceive the word that God put in our life and we definitely need to apply more of what God is speaking into us and our lives and our new walk with him we are allowing God to transform us and implant new things in our spirit for us to carry and there is so much more guys planting in our spirits and we receive it and we're actually walking it and not just talkin it we came from a long way and God is changing and shifting things surrounding us and we're just grateful and you know it hasn't been an easy walk for us you know and to allow God to really come in our spirit and do these things it really took some opening up and letting things go for that for us to get to this point it wasn't always this easy for us to be opening up the anybody but God has been proven his self in our life and shown so much in our life and scared so much of our life that we are opening up more and more for him and slowly we're opening up more to people as well and trusting and everything and got his just showing up in a mighty way on how we can trust him so we're definitely leaning more and more on that and I believe that's how we are still getting blessed the way we are because we're trusting more and we just praise God for opening up our understanding praise God.
13. Controlling The Flash and operating with God this was a challenge in itself for us controlling our flesh and really cooperating with God it didn't start off all easy you know of course it's easy to get baptized of course it's easy to say I will follow you of course it's easy to say that I get off I'm a follower of Christ and I'll do what his word says but to actually walk that walk to actually be decreasing that flash to actually come for you know in a way that God wants you to and to obey and follow him wasn't always easy for us like I said we were in our own ways we were half the low price. Going on and sloth Spirit going on it wasn't an easy thing to do we actually came from a place in us where you know we're more determined now to please God than ever so to kick pride in the butt to kick sloth in the butt to say I Will Follow You hence the creases flesh this is an everyday thing we do and we're grateful that we do it because God has been so wonderful and he has blessed us bad we don't even want to turn back and be that person that we were being that person that didn't know God the way that she thought that she knew him that person that didn't even open up when she was supposed to open up and we don't want to return to that we want to be this person that God is creating us to be now that's the crease in this flesh kicking all spirits that doesn't belong in the butt and getting them and rebuking them away from us because God is showing us bracing when we listen to him and when we out of our flesh he's able to show us things Vision than all types of things and warnings and you know when things happen who to pray for you know he's showing us a lot and we want to make sure we are in alignment and in agreement with him and in the face of God at all times and if that means to decrease the Flesh and follow him that's exactly what we're going to do.
14. So to be alert and aware is definitely where we're at right now because a lot of people from the past church history and from my experience from going to church at a building they pretty much run they build in the same way as everybody else is also he say she say off of what the pastor said and what fish has said before then but nobody is really researching for their self or taking that time out to study for their sales what is being taught and what God is saying because God will give you similar themes from the Bible similar scriptures you know you will still you know how those scripture that say the same thing but God can teach you something new from those scriptures from that reading that that person had read and you can get a new revelation off but you got to study first you got to study for yourself and hear God out for yourself and order to get that new revelation out of it so it's very important and very imperative that we see God for ourselves when it comes to reading that word and what God is saying because he can say so much out of a scripture that you didn't read 10 2000 x hundred times so it's very good to do the reading and research yourself and that's exactly why we're in our studies and reading you know what was Todd and what was said and we getting our Revelation out of it that's why we talk more on about us you know on ourselves and what we got out of the Revelation fresh off the press.
15. We are definitely aware and paying attention to teachings that are pouring for in life and what's the inset around us when something doesn't sound right when sit in our Spirits we like to know about it and we like to ask questions and find out if it's true if we hadn't heard it if we have heard it we definitely know how to speak up and say that's not right or you know we don't even automatically accept that because we know the truth we know what we researched we know what we learned we know what we studied and so we're not going to walk and go in fear and be skeptical about it when we know what we read for ourselves you definitely don't want people to put that uncertainty and fear in you you definitely want to stay focus on the Lord focus on God because God is the way the truth and the life and he is the real leader that can show you what's right he can show you what he meant in that word because he's the one that wrote it so it all goes back to are you focused on God it all goes back to how determined are you to forget about what people are saying but why are you focus on what God is saying so for us that's what this the same and we are definitely walking strongly more and more in this and we're definitely keeping our eyes open spiritual is a natural eye and are hearing and spiritual ear and naturally are open Hallelujah because God has shown up in our life in a mighty way and he has taught us too much for us to be easily influenced in that way we don't want to get caught up in people and things like that when it's all should be about God Mia man. Ne'eman.
1. So for this it is asking how does my personality affect the rating of the wisdom that was provided above we are saying that what it did was sent us in a deep place because it's truly showed us how far guy run Us and how much knowledge that we have it it truly showed us that we are actually are wiser than what we thought we were and we actually have learned a whole lot from God. And a lot of areas in our life a lot of maturity has grown out a lot of knowledge has been put in a lot of awareness has been definitely recognize God has really came for strongly in our lives and we just thank God on today for recognizing and for implementing everything you know this far in our life I have a very happy personality I have a very you know goodbye to do right in two you know make God proud I have a personality that is determined to learn something new all the time and reading all of this and these questions has just proven that I really have came a long way and learned a lot and it just encouraged my spirit and in my personality-wise you know it may be upgrade my personality my Leadeshift side.
2. Pick 3 of the wisdom issues that are the highest most optional in my life and I'm going to pick love rule and controlling the Flesh and cooperating with God and be known by your fruits. Pick three lowest wisdom issues they are sway we picked sway because we are still learning how to be more effective in this area there still room for growth in this area so that's why we picked it sway because we're currently working on it and we're currently still needing to come and bring it up more. another one was Building Bridges we must keep our Spirits clean from pride and anything else that's negative as I explained before we've been kicked it in the butt so we can hear God more and listen more and be more obedient you know we have the victory we know we have the victory but sometimes it does try to come in and we have to rebuke it so we are putting that down as well. Controling the flesh we have chosen this because we are in a challenging mold currently with this flesh we have come a long way with rebuking off flash we've come a long way and not going to sleep as often as we used to but there's still work to be done cuz we don't want to always have something important to do and give in to the Flesh and go to sleep so we are still kicking the Flesh in the butt is well because we want to make sure that we are awake when God need us to be and finish what God need us to finish in order to move along with the day so that's why we put down control your flesh. Ne'eman
1.How will i trafer theses into someone else. For us we actually I would talk to them about past history with ourselves and then related to the biblical days and also tell them about a little bit of how we came to that place in our life and what God has done for us in our life for us to get there and now we're stronger in it so that's how we would transfer it into them letting them know a little history about us and letting them know a little history about the Bible with some leaders going through a little bit of a similar things that we did and then explaining to them on the Blessed thing that was came out of it so gross that came out of it the new wok and Leadership that came out of it but we Wars that came out of it will transfer that into it like that by being obedient to God How He blesses you by listening your growth status your maturity status your knowledge and everything how it grows well go through all of those things and get them to see that side of the blessing that it comes with him so we'll go about it that way to transfer into someone else.
2.How you can formally or informally mentor to him or her for us we would Mentor them similar to the same above and we would tell them to keep fighting we would tell them to stay spiritually connected to God at all cost and how important it is to be in the face of God how important it is to see God you know every day of your life every step that you take every turn that you make is good to acknowledge Him in it all and it's good to get out of that Pride for me to get out of that floss Spirit to get out of that flesh that try to make you lay down when you don't need to to get out of your normal routine get out of your comfort zone and really get into the zone that God is bringing you to answer that new walk he's bringing you too and so that new way of living that he needs you to be at so you can pass on the blessing to somebody else just tap right into it you know so for us that's how we would mentor and go about it quoting scriptures about the leaders how they were disobedient for the ones that were and their outcome and then saying how God has not changed his mind on when he say you will be punished you will be punished when he say he's going to give you a spiritual weapon you're going to get a spiritual whooping so he only whoops and chastise the one he loves and that's how you know you are loved by God so every day is another chance to get it right so we need to make sure we are making the change and making progress and making the turn around in the order that God has called for us to it's very imperative that we listen to God on everything.
3. For the wisdom issues the three that was put down as the lowest how would I bring them forward by praying to God fasting meditating and really getting out of My Flesh all the way out of it decreasing it and asking God for help because this is one of the issues I've been having for a while so I definitely would like to continue my spiritual growth and my maturity growth and spiritual maturity growth and moving past this and hadn't victory so this is how I am working on it now by for help and walking in my new understanding and to rebuke everyday.
4. For us we do not see it as one wisdom more important than the other for us it all works together it all teaches you how to be a successful leader shifter it all teaches you how to be a successful individual it all teaches you you know everything you need to know about wisdom so far it teaches you how to be aware of what it teaches you on self on yourself it gives you the understanding of what you need to work on and what you have yet to work on and what you need to do to bring it forward and go ahead and get started so you can move past the dimension level that you are at so far us it all is very deep and it all collaborates together for our good and it's something that we can continually can go back to it's like a manual us our own self so it all works together for everybody to see the questions and our answers all together and really look at how we just evaluated our self and look at our answers to it and how we're going to achieve the ones that we have yet done.
5. do not stretch out the rod of your tongue against things you do not understand for us this means that don't speak on a matter that you do not understand or get if you haven't done the research on it if you haven't done anything to hear God about it to hear God leadership talk to you about it that he has appointed over your life and he hasn't gave you no instructions about it if he hasn't gave you Clarity on it because you didn't ask don't speak on it don't be in a rush to speak on things that you don't know nothing about or you haven't really took time to evaluate about yourself or others or whatever Spirit that's out there if you haven't took that time to really evaluate the matter and see what's really going on don't speak on it don't speak too fast that's what this was saying to us don't speak too fast and let your tongue put you in a place where you don't want to be or let you speak too fast and ask for something that you don't even know what you asking for so that's what it means to us don't stretch out the rod of your tongue against things you do not understand.
1: The Lord sent me to this scripture Proverbs 9:5 NOG version. What that scripture is saying to me is that the Lord is allowing wisdom to feed me with her bread and drink her sprititual wine of Knowledge and Understanding. Which is the wine of the Lord's Mystery.
2:Yes our focus is on Jesus and the scripture he has given us for our focuson him is Revelation 5:13 NOG version. We must put our focus on our King that is the power surge of it all. We gotta be on our work daily we must focus our time and energy to the Lord at all cost.
3: We will Major we because God is a major part of my life. He has been in my life for a very long time through the good things and the bad things. Which their is not bad things only good things. however the poing is that he is a major part of my life it would be a time where I will not be up right now doing this Seer Devotional because I will about to be at work or I'm already at work. I will say it's to late and I will do it tomorrow. So I know for a fact he's a major part of my life now for real for real.
4: You want us to follow your truth not some truth that we got taught from people. You want us to know the real truth about you Jesus. You want us to follow your protocol and not just Man laws but all laws that apply to our good. What religion teachs us about following your law of Moses. Or different rules they have made up. You always followed the law. You was always fair with the laws.
5: Yes we must clean ourselves daily by asking the Lord to baptize us daily, and you gotta know that you are being cleaned everyday. The same way you take a shower daily is the same way you need to know that you are getting cleanes in the spirit. That s' how you will keep spritual pride away. But seeing God's face daily.
6: Yes that's a daily thing because we don't know what our fellow leaders or leadershifters are going through so it's or duty to pray for them on they behalf. Praying for them is the best thing you can do for someone because prayer it the number one key that will bless someone life.
7: You are telling us to be predetermine in everything far as in our business and getting closer to our destiny. We must walk in his guidance and when the time comes like such as this we must know that it's time to establish our ministry in the Lord and we must establish ourselves naturally and spiritually in God .
8: We must let love control our whole entire life because God tells us to love everyone. We must love ourselves and then we can grow to love him as well. He already love since birth. So we must return that same love back into him. Love is the key to everything.
9: Yes Lord everysince we have asked you for Sway in our life we have more time in our day. To get more time in the Lord he wants to show us mew experiances in him. He don't want us to be the same as before but greater. Allow us to keep the Sway in the Lord.
10: What you are saying that we must understand the relationshift between the vision and the audible signs. Which is the voice of you and the vision of you. We must understand if it come from you or ourselves, that's where the holy spirit comes in at to guide us through the whole process. We must focus and be really in tune in God to understand.
11: God wants us to know that we will be known from the fruits we have planted in the Earth. He wants us to know that we will be known in him for all the hard work have done in him. Which is so much more to be done in him.
12: We must understand the works of the Lord and not of our own understanding but the Lord. Allow God to work in us or have the intentions of our flesh or other people in our heads. We must really be careful when it come to the spitit realm ask the Lord for his understanding.
13: Yes we must control our flesh by praying and fasting in the Lord. We must tell our flesh it don't control us we control it. We have the power to continue to kill our flesh daily.
14: What you are saying in this is don't go by what other people tell you about the Lord. You want us to receive it but do our own research for ourselves. Listen to those who are wiser then you, but still research for yourcellf. Read your scriptures on your own.
15: Yes don't get your spirit caught in fear of people or if they don't listen to you don't fear rejected. Focus on the Lord and trust in who you are in him. Keep the strength in God and don't go down that road. Believe in what God tells you.
1: I will rate me wisdom item that I have grown into my wisdom more then I did before I know she has much to teach me and I'm willing to learn daiy. She has been very helpful to me through this whole entire time. So I will say she is awesome in to me. So I will rate this as a 10 out of 10.
2: My highest is : 1, 3 7
My working on more: 5,8, 13 , By telling them to work on every single one of these questions daily. By showning them my action through the whole entire process of it all.
3: Allow my cellf to work on these issues and bring them to be my strong suit. Once we accomplish these issues we can move forward in what the Lord truly has for us.
4 I see all of them the same because I'm working on me and that's the most important part of the whole entire process to get rid of the old and to bring forth the light that you have inside of you. Knowning what you are capable of it the very hype of this road with the Lord to find out your true potential in spirit. Do we not know we can be a superhero in the spiritual and natural to everyone. We have the power to save people lives. Only if we know we fully are in God look how exciting that is. All the times we watched these superhero movies saying we want these powers but we already have it just don't know about it. So I say it is important to me because it's a lot for me to do for God kingdom and he don't want me to be all in the emotions trying to speak to his people.
What it means to me to trust in my walk with the Lord focus on him and control everything that tries to come against us. Be loving to you and your leaders and allow God to move in the spirit in you like never before. So this teaching is teaching me to grow in God and to learn what I need to on my wn by asking God and Wisdom, Knowledge, and Understanding to give me the insight through it all.
Looking over the 15 items above, evaluate where you currently stand in each one (please be honest with God, yourself, and the Holy Spirit):
Pick three that is the highest,
And three that is the lowest.
How will you help transfer these to someone else? How can you formally or informally mentor him or her?
By coming forth in teaching, demonstration, general conversations, listening, counseling one on one.
Meditation If you can’t jump in the middle of it, bless it. If you can’t bless it, then patiently observe it.
If you can’t patiently observe it, then just don’t criticize it!
Do not stretch out the rod of your tongue against those things you do not understand!
What does this mean to you?
Focusing on God will help you to talk, or stay silence, jump in or stay out, observe or join in, so this mean to us, is to know God, rely on the Holy Spirit to guide you in all.
