The Secret Hidden Wisdom

Psalm 51:6 Surely you desire truth in the inner parts; you teach me wisdom in the inmost place.

Those words are addressed by the psalmist David to the Lord Himself.

What is it that God really looks for in our lives?
*First and foremost, it is not the external practices of religion – not necessarily church going or other religious acts. (Read Matthew 23:1-7)
*God looks much deeper than those. He looks right down into the innermost depths of our hearts and our lives.

Elsewhere, the Bible tells us that God does not see as man sees because man looks on the outward appearance, but God looks on the HEART.
So David says, “Surely you desire truth in the inner parts.”
* What does God want?
* What is truth in the inner parts?
I believe it is absolute sincerity – the opposite of religious externalism, hypocrisy.(See Matthew 6:1-6,16-18)

Those things do not appeal to God. In fact, He does not approve of them. He detests them.
God looks beneath all that. God wants to see if we are sincere, open, and transparent in our relationship with Him.
*Do we say the same thing with our mouths that we are thinking in our minds? ( Matthew 6:1-6,16-18)

If we come to that place, then we can say, like the psalmist, “You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.”
* There is a secret place in our innermost being where we can begin to hear the voice of God and learn from Him and He teaches us wisdom there.

If you want to know God’s voice, then you must be willing to hear everything
he says! God will never say, “Go!” until he first asks, “Who will go?”
*God comes to you asking, “Are you willing to do anything I tell you and do it
my way?
* Are you willing to lay down your life?”

When I prayed for direction years ago, the Lord told me clearly, through His word “Do not Fear anything—I am with you always-You are mine now and you will be used for My Glory NOT your own as you did in the past. TRUST”
That was a most uncomfortable word for me!
Yes, we want to hear the voice of God, but we want to hear it comfortably! We
don’t want it to shake us.
Yet, why should God give us his voice of direction if he is not sure we will obey him?
A person asked me-“Aren’t you afraid sometimes? You are running on only faith? What about your income-retirement-401?  Do you walk around with the weight of that on you all the time?”
I said yes I used to—but now No! Because when you experience God the way I’ve been experiencing God for the last 4 years, you stop being afraid. I’ve seen so many God given miracles in my life, marriage, kids, grandkids, family, friends—-the more I  gave up of myself and ave God ALL the Praise and Glory the More I Saw HIM and the More I completly TRUST HIM.  Is Awesome!

*Spend my time doing the Lord’s work verses my own – has freed me.
*Isaiah 58:10 and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry
and satisfy the needs of the oppressed,
then your light will rise in the darkness,
and your night will become like the noonday.

God delivered me from the Darkness and I’ve never been so happy, so positive, so on fire for the things of God. Like the verse, his light rises in the darkness. Yes there are many roadblocks some days–but God in his perfect timing shows us a way around them or even through them.

As we open up and serve others verses ourself you begin to see all the miracles happening daily– therefore we dare to be part of them.

I was always looking for that big time Healing  Miracle–by doing that I stopped positioning my life for seeing God’s miracles daily right before my eyes.
So-If I truly want to be a man who lives by faith, I must live a life that requires a little bit of fresh faith and a whole lot of TRUST.
Faith that changes everything.

Clarity is the order of the day.  The Lord is releasing you to a higher level of spiritual direction because you are ready to see more clearly your OWN heart and discern from that place of awareness.  Old positions of dullness will become a thing of the past as your eyes are opened to see and accept the pure truth without condemnation.
As the days of justifying ungodly attitudes and behavior end, the days of clarity begin.
The Lord is  calling you to a greater manifestation of purity and holiness.
**Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

Let us Pray this together:  Lord I want to be determined to seek you no matter what. No matter what the circumstance, no matter what anyone says, no matter what anyone does I will seek you Lord. I will seek your face. I will stay before you Lord lifting up others before you. I will stay before you Lord praying your kingdom come, your will be done in earth as it is in heaven! Let my life be a living testimony to you Lord. That I would bring you glory and honor, my Lord, my Savior and my King.  I love you Lord and I praise your holy  name.  I am so grateful to you Lord for my life. In Jesus name I pray. Amen
