God told me that when I see a divisive person that I am not to touch, handle or taste it.
People wonder why I simply leave a situation without saying anything. To me, that is wisdom from God. Why speak to someone who is soaked in evil ways? Why speak to someone who is committed to misunderstanding you? Why speak to someone who doesn’t see life through the eyes of Christ. They are rooted in darkness. I let God handle those people. That is wisdom.
When I was living in Mishawaka God once told me to ask what the dogs name was that I was about to see. I had never done that before so was a bit nervous and was a bit perplexed. Sure enough though a yellow lab came by and I asked the owner what his dog’s name was. I kid you not the name was Miracle! Hahaha. I was like, “WHHHHHAAAAATTTTTT?” So it began.
The next dog that came along was named Erasmus. I had never heard of that so had to google it. What did I find but a bookstore called Erasmus right in South Bend, Indiana. I couldn’t believe it at first but then the Holy Spirit moved me to go right away.
I walked into the doorway and so it began. The owner asked me what I was looking for and I named the first 5 or so things that came to mind. He directed me downstairs to religion and philosophy based on my words.
I get downstairs and look to my left at religion and thought, “No. That’s not it.” I look to my right at Nature and Philosophy and thought, “No. That’s not it.” I look straight in front of me to a full shelf of books that were flipped so I could read the front covers. It was everything that I had been studying ever since 2013. It was the world in between religion, philosophy and nature. My mouth gaped wide open and so my truth began to shine. I was feeling validated with my own eyes by a shelf of books and The Miracle of Erasmus.
I turn around to walk up the steps slowly and in awe. There were books stacked on the steps. One red book with no words on the cover drew me in. I opened the cover and lo and behold the word “WISDOM.”
I walk up the stairs and tell them what I was experiencing to some degree, keeping most of the jist in my heart. As I was speaking to the helper of the store I noticed there were several owl pictures in view. The story goes on.
Isaiah Chapters 34 and 35. The Holy Highway is now being revealed, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Wisdom is Holiness. Wisdom isn’t found in books it is found in the quiet with God. No man. No woman. God.
To be continued.
Colossians 2:11-23
New King James Version
Not Legalism but Christ
11 In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body [h]of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12 buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. 13 And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, 14 having wiped out the [i]handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.
16 So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a [j]festival or a new moon or sabbaths, 17 which are a shadow of things to come, but the [k]substance is of Christ. 18 Let no one cheat you of your reward, taking delight in false humility and worship of angels, intruding into those things which he has [l]not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19 and not holding fast to the Head, from whom all the body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, grows with the increase that is from God.
20 [m]Therefore, if you died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to regulations— 21 “Do not touch, do not taste, do not handle,” 22 which all concern things which perish with the using—according to the commandments and doctrines of men? 23 These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed religion, false humility, and [n]neglect of the body, but are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
