WARNING! WARNING!
Knowledge “Puffeth Up”
(I Cor. 8:1)
(Update to this article at the end.)
ANGEL FOOD
(Revelation knowledge the Lord shared with me this morning.)
I don’t quite know what to
call this, or if it is settled yet that I am to serve it, but if you desire to eat what is on my table
this morning…you are welcome. If it does not appeal to you, then you
are probably enjoying what the Holy Spirit has already served you specifically. We may be eating the same
meal. Take a glance at the table and see if this is also what you are hearing.
Daniel 12:4. “…Until the time of the
end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.”
We have come to Mount Zion …(our private worship places.), entered the General Assembly…(Hebrews
12:22 -24). We must not be double-minded. (James 1:8). We must learn to choose between the law and “grace”;
walking in the grace God has given us and receiving His Righteousness as our own.
Not struggling to obtain our own
which is as useless as filthy rags. He is preparing us for a “Grace
Walk” and a walk in the Spirit. Receiving all things He has done for us…literally. We need
this in order to walk the walk He has prepared for us.
WARNING: “Knowledge Puffeth Up.” Knowledge
is increasing so rapidly that we can stumble if we begin to think we are the only ones receiving it.
Praise God! God is pouring out His Spirit upon all flesh. We are cautioned to not become deceitfully
prideful of the things God is showing us. He has many sheep folds and is showing them, too.
There is a difference between Knowledge
and Wisdom. I’d
like to hear what you think that difference is. This is what I saw in James 3:17. The Wisdom from Above is First PURE.
Then:
Peaceable
Gentle
Easy
to be entreated
Full of Mercy and good fruits
Without
partiality and hypocrisy
“And the fruit of righteousness is sown in Peace…of them that make Peace.” Verse
3:18 .
Colossians 4:5 says, “Walk
in Wisdom toward
them that are without, redeeming the time.”
I believe God is calling us to Walk the Wisdom Walk…and He tells us “HOW” in
James 3:17 . He has a definite purpose for what He is asking us to do TODAY. It’s all a preparation
for His return.
Now, I have shared what I saw on my table this morning. I would love to see what is on yours. As we
share, I believe we are more prepared to receive balanced nutrition. Stay Blessed, Gwen

Some may think that I am being “puffed up” as I record and share what our Lord is sharing
with me. I honestly do not write these things on my own. I don’t think I could.
Actually, the Lord had to deliver me from the “Fear of Pride” recently
so that I could move out in more freedom to deliver these words.
The Holy Spirit revealed this attack on me, which has been there for many years, and used in various
ways to slow me down.
Now, He uses the little picture that He gave me.
It is so easy now, to see SIN in a BOX, disconnected from me at the Cross. I just hold my hand out
towards that box of SIN and say, “No, thanks, I don’t
receive that anymore. I am born of God, His SEED remains in me and I cannot sin. He cannot SIN and neither
can I. Satan, your seed of sin has no more dominion over me. You are not my father.”
It’s become an easy, quick thing to do. No
longer a harsh spiritual battle, but more like swatting aside a useless fly or gnat.
I just say, “Oh, get out of here”…and he is gone. Just as my old “Fear of
Pride” is gone.
That fear had caused me many times to bow down to man when our Lord was telling me to stand tall.
Surely dying to self must mean that in comparison to our relationship with God, and our desire to obey
His will, things and even people of earth become less and less a threat.
