James 1.5 may now well be one of my favourite verses,

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him,


I wonder if i my questions, when there not as good as they could be, are a result of me not praying and seeking for wisdom.

I figured a just a while ago and trusted in the fact and believed with all my heart that the God of our bible was a God who would always give wisdom.

Even if I had wisdom i still thought God would not hesitate to give me the same wisdom again even if I forgot the wisdom he had already he gave me.

Or even if I had forgot to use the same wisdom that merited the same actions or response.

I figured It wasn't my wisdom to begin with so why should I beat my self up for forgetting, but after thinking this I then realised,I had just seeked.wisdom before this thought occured to me.

I thought this God can't be that displeased with me after all.

I then had this other idea that came to me, that my fear when ever it would arise from not being able to sing in public, was a result of me not seeking wisdom.

We would have weekly family sing a songs and everyone would take there turn.

But when ever I sang the words would just not come out. And if they did it was always out of tune...

Then one day I trusted in James 1.5 some more and realised my own fear was a result of me not being humble.enough to seek wisdom, I think I must have listened to a wisdom that repeaters are hated,

It was only then I had this idea to slow down and so talked a song instead of singing it, as my talking slow song started it wasn't long before I this idea that it's best to go at your own pace, since then I've never took anyone's wisdom as something that may have come from God.

Because I honestly thought God hated repeaters it stuck in my mind since a young toddler.

But no it's far from the truth, and I wonder just how many sheep have gone astray with that idea

I have also experienced two major miracles myself. One involving sight where i saw what looked like an angel in a church, full of light (which my wife also saw) and another which involved smell, after being anointed with a special oil from a church.
Miracles to me are very important (i've opened a topic here about them) because they show us that God is here with us and interceding according to His will and as a response to our Prayers.

Merry Christmas to you and all your loved ones and may you all be healthy and blessed.

Hi there, Thunder (may I call you Thunder for short?)

I like this proverb a lot (see below ) It’s our responsibility to get wisdom. That means we need to study the Book God gave us, the Bible. IMG_4745.gif

Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee. Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her. She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.

- Proverbs 4:5-9 (KJV)

Out of tune is my favorite key to sing in :)

Scripture says to sing praises to the Lord........nothing about being "in tune.on key" :)

I never got over it to be honest, I often get jolts, sometimes I wonder if the jolts are there to kick me into action, I always get a burst of energy after a jolt and some kinda of urika moment 😂.

With our Father, all things are possible.
sorry I did not word that well oops I ment in my mind I can not doubt your message did come come God or not. I know it has 😊.. if only I had listened to my mum more to read the Bible as a young teenager after she passed on the principle on how she would teach me

I was talking earlier about me being in place of not so much challenging people or quizzing them to see if there words had come from God.

Im now being more cautious that way, as I feel this is my revelation from God.

That in my mind being told God hates repeaters made me go astray and my down fall was I could no longer truly trust everyone with there message was approved by God.

It stuck in my mind from a kid as a result I tried to do everything myself.

It got so bad I developed OCD over it.

And I would go to great lengths to do things I needed of not of done. Like always trying to be overly unique in every way, at one stage I became the original gangster

Oops I thought the best way to preach the gospel was to become an abuser of alcohol and drugs as to become one of the crowd, how wrong I was. I ended up believing the guetti gospel was a unique gospel.. this was the day I was struck by lightening

Our Father in heaven does not want us to suffer with any form of abuse from doubt.

The best way to prevent any such effect is to not doubt any of His Word, and believe Him heartily.

This does not translate as understanding everything we learn from His word, so when we do read anything that sounds bad, do as Mary would do, put it away in the archive of your heart h until our Gather reveals the understanding to you.

He will eventually reveal the light to any and all of His Word to all come the Kingdom. Keep in mind, if any man believes he is ever going to understand all of the Word while in the flesh, remind him that only One Man in the flesh could do this, Our Beloved Savior.

Believing is a great reward in itself. Do not overlook using belief. Praise god, and be blessed always.

that's a definite bolt out of the blue for me 😋

I think my latest jolts have been centred around this advice for me too, I'm sure this is what the lord wants for me. Blessings friend it's been a honour talking with you,
