My Brothers and Sisters in Christ, the peace of the Lord be with you!

Today I am speaking to you from 1 Corinthians 3:18-20 which distinguishes between two different kinds of wisdom. A lot of my Christian brothers and sisters do not realize the difference. Think about the multitude of decisions we will have to make during our lifetime. As a whole, they determine the course of our life. That's why it is so important to seek the Lord's guidance in our choices. After all, He is the only source of true wisdom. Whether the issue we are facing is major or minor, God knows best. By seeking His wisdom, we can live the best possible life without suffering the fallout of foolish choices.

However, if we ignore His counsel, we will undoubtedly make some decisions we'll later regret. What too many people forget is that choices have consequences. Our culture tells us to live for today without considering the outcome of our decisions. That's why people buy homes they can't afford or accumulate credit card debt they can't pay. But from the very beginning, in the Garden of Eden, God has clearly taught us that consequences lead to foolish, self willed decisions. 

1 Cor. 3 :18-20 draws a distinction between two different kinds of wisdom — God’s, and the world's as foolishness. He sees right through human reasoning and knows how useless it really is. Worldly wisdom relies on man's perspective. However, even the most brilliant people have limited knowledge. In fact, their intelligence often is the barrier between them and the Lord. 

James uses three adjectives to describe worldly wisdom (Jms. 3:15): 

• First of all, worldly wisdom is earthy, which means it's limited to human senses and reasoning. 
• Secondly, James says it's natural. In the Bible, this term is often used to refer to the sensual part of man ruled by his sin nature.  
• Lastly, the root of all worldly wisdom is demonic. Satan is constantly trying to deceive mankind into believing they don't need the Lord.

True wisdom is seeing life from God's viewpoint and responding according to His instructions (Ps. 111:10). Since the only sure place to find His perspective and guidance is in His Word, we must make reading Scripture a daily priority in our lives. To ignore it is to automatically choose a foolish lifestyle. We should never base our decisions on what everyone is doing or what they think; instead, we need to find out what God says about the issue.

The Lord's wisdom is vast enough to handle every human concern. He knows each of us perfectly and has a complete understanding of our every need (Ps. 139:1-6). Since His knowledge is infinite, nothing surprises Him. Although our world is constantly changing, God has never had to revise His Word because He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow (Heb. 13:8). No matter how insurmountable our problems may seem, He has unlimited power to handle them. With such a wealth of wisdom available to us, why in the world would we ever choose to rely on our own reasoning, feelings, or desires? We can sleep soundly each night knowing that the Lord holds the future in His hands and is sovereign over all the events of our life!!!! 

My dear Brothers and Sisters, again I remind you to please read and learn the Bible, so you’ll know the truth — because the truth will set us free. And, so that when we hear a teaching, we will know the truth. God's Blessings to you all!

Your servant in Christ,
Stella Davis

Our Prayer Breakfast in July was phonomenal and the Holy Spirit rested on us in a mighty way! Some have been calling me to provide the prayer of protection for our homes that I read. This prayer is as follows:

Dear Lord Jesus, please surround us, our families, friends and our homes with  a perimeter of Your love and protection throughout this day and night and every day - 100 yards in all directions. Lord Jesus, render any demons that are here or should try to come deaf, dumb, and blind. Strip them of all weapons, illusions, armor, powers and authorities. Disable them from communicating or interacting in any way. Bind, sever, and separate them, binding them directly to the foot of the cross, without manifestation or harm to us, or to anyone else, to be dealt with by You, Jesus, as You see it fit. May Your precious blood cover us. May the Holy Spirit fill us, and Blessed Mother, place your mantle of love and protection around us in our homes, from any event of fire, theft, vandalism, flood, storms, elements, and accidents of any sort, distress, hardship, curses, and all unwanted things. I ask all this in Your name, Jesus Christ, and through the intercession of our Blessed Mother Mary and in the power of the Holy Spirit. We call upon St. Michael, St. Joseph, St. Padre Pio, and St. John Paul II, and all the saints and angels, to pray for us. Amen.
