Others have entered into the wilderness where we live supernaturally but it is from hand to mouth and have just enough to meet our daily needs.

James 1:2-5 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

 Rick Warren uses the word Perspective! Perspective is understanding something because you are seeing it from a larger frame of reference. It is the ability to perceive how things are interrelated and then judge their comparative importance. In a spiritual sense, it means seeing life from Gods point of view. In the Bible, the words understanding, wisdom,

Perspective

 Psalm 103:7 says, [God] made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel. The people of Israel got to see what God did, but Moses got to understand why God did it. Perspective is understanding why God said it or did it. It answers the why questions of life. The Bible teaches that unbelievers have no spiritual perspective, and that a lack of perspective

Gods recurring complaint about the nation of Israel was that they lacked perspective, In contrast, having perspective is a characteristic of spiritual maturity. Hebrews 5:14 (NASB) Solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their

Luke 4:22-30 26 but to none of them was Elijah sent except to Zarephath, in the region of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. Why? Covenant!!! We never seem to accept Gods word to us. The Jews knew their covenant and walked in it but do we? My Sons do not have pray and fast for me to pay their school fees why? We are in a covenant relationship Father & sons. When they need me to do something for their friends they come in and say Daddy please.. in other words if you love me daddy you will do this

Understanding

 Knowledge is the truth or facts of life that a person acquires either through experience or thought. However, mental knowledge by itself, as good as it may be, is inadequate, as it only produces pride (1 Corinthians 8:1, 13:2). Knowledge is light..

Knowledge

 God said let there be light. then Bible says God made the sun and moon. What light was God talking about in the beginning? Rather, he was referring to illumination. In God is light and the light was that which illuminated the life of men. Knowledge is light; it is

Knowledge

 Knowledge is the key. The situation you are in today was developed or established at a certain level of knowledge. In order to overcome it, you would need to go beyond that level of knowledge. Without doubt, knowledge is essential. Daniel 1:17 As for these four young men, God gave them knowledge and skill in all literature and wisdom; and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams. God is the source of knowledge and skill, wisdom and

Knowledge

Studying is very important and this includes bible reading. Learn something new every day, unless you are learning something new everyday you are not growing. If you want God to promote you prepare yourself for promotion. Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being

Skill

How many Electrical engineers can fix there own television sets or mechanical engineers their cars. How many chemist, biologist, mathematicians apply their knowledge to daily life and impact society? The key is that skill is yet to be developed where we truly use our education to create wealth. So it is in the church we have bible colleges, services and numerous seminars and conferences which continue to present

Skill

What is the problem? We are yet to educate

people with the knowledge and skill to do this. They that know their God shall be strong and do exploits Daniel 11:32 32 Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits. The principle is so simple, they that KNOW, shall BE and then DO and then HAVE. You have to first

 We must see the significance in the bible and the attention the word gives to these things: Exodus 35:30-35 31 and He has filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom and understanding, in knowledge and all manner of workmanship, [ notice the Spirit of god for Later ] 34 And He has put in his heart the ability to teach, in him and Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.35 He has filled them with skill to do all manner of work of the engraver and the designer and the

Skill

 1 Kings 5:6 Now therefore, command that they cut down cedars for me from Lebanon; and my servants will be with your servants, and I will pay you wages for your servants according to whatever you say. For you know there is none among us who has skill to cut timber like the Sidonians.

Skill

 Daniel 9:22-23 And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I have now come forth to give you skill to understand. At the beginning of your supplications the command went out, and I have come to tell you, for you are greatly beloved; therefore consider the matter, and understand the vision Skill to understand?

Proverbs 22:2 2 The rich and the poor have this in common, The Lord is the maker of them all. Are we saying its up to God who is poor and who is rich? If this is so then we are doomed to destiny no matter what. This does not tie in with scripture which says God is not a respecter of persons. To get the full import of this scripture we must learn to interpret scripture with scripture or else we will wrongly

Our Eyes Must be Opened

 John 21:25 And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. Amen. Well did God not make the computer and the storage CDs and DVDs that can keep thousands of books? First note this John 20:30-31 And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book;but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the

Examples

 Amos 7:10 Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel. The land is not able to bear all his words. Amos 7:10 Amaziah the priest at Bethel sent this message to King Jeroboam of Israel, Amos is plotting against you in the very heart of Israel. Our nation cannot put up with his message for very long.

Examples

 In speaking about blessings which come upon and overtake us many have interpreted it to mean the blessings come running after us and pass us by as in overtaking us. Deuteronomy 28:1-2 Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth.2 And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God: But lets look at how

Examples
Which I commanded My servants the prophets, Did they not overtake your fathers? So they returned and said: Just as the Lord of hosts determined to do to us, According to our ways and according to our deeds, So He has dealt with us. This means for things to overtake you they outlast

This clearly shows us why Gods word says in the mouth of two or three witnesses let your word be established. 2 Corinthians 13:1 This will be the third time I am coming to you. By the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established. The key to Proverbs 22:2 must therefore be found in scripture to answer our questions. This is found in Proverbs 29:13 Proverbs 29:13 The poor

 We call the rich oppressors with there cars and houses with big generators etc but even then it does not change Gods principle Proverbs 28:16 A ruler who lacks understanding is a great oppressor, But he who hates covetousness will

Examples

 To get the import of this we must put the scriptures together; The rich, the poor and the oppressors have this in common God gave light to both eyes and it is what they did with the light or sight that made them rich, has kept them poor or made them oppressors or whatever they are. In summary it seems that as much as you are a SPIRIT who has a SOUL and lives in Body, God wants us to prosper in Righteousness in our
