Hearing is not Enough! The Kingdom Key of Wise & Foolish

READ | Matthew 7:24-29

Jesus, our Wayshower, in the Sermon on the Mount introduced the Kingdom Key of the Wise and the Foolish in the parable of the Two Houses. The wise man heard the Word and applied it to his life. The wise man is compared to a man who built his house on a rock. The foolish man heard the Word but did not apply it to his life. The foolish man is compared to a man who built his house on sand.

Both men experienced the same weather conditions: the rain descended, the flood came, and the winds blew and beat upon both houses. The house built on a rock survived the storm. The house built on the sand was destroyed and fell. Hearing and doing the Word is not an exemption certificate from the challenges of life but it will ensure your ability to stand no matter what.

It is not enough for us to just hear the Word; we must obey the Word that we have heard. “Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God (Romans 10:17).” Nevertheless, just as faith without works is dead so is hearing the Word and not doing it (James 2:17). “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves (James 1:22).” Wisdom is hearing the Word and doing the Word.

  Who do you desire to be when you grow up? Read – I John 3:1-10 Scripture : “Beloved, now we are the offspring of God, and what  we will be has not yet been revealed. But we know that when  Christ appears, we will be mirror images (I John 3:1).” Denial : “My life is not about wants, but desires.” Affirmation : “I AM becoming more of the beloved offspring of  God that I already AM.” T.J. Holmes, an award-winning journalist and ABC news anchor and  correspondent, was the keynote speaker at my daughter,  Courtney’s, graduation from Walden University on Saturday, August 3, 2019, at the National Harbor in Prince George’s County, Maryland.  It was one of the largest graduations that I had ever attended. There  were graduates there from all over the earth. I cried from the time  the commencement address began until it ended. It was more than  me being proud of my daughter’s accomplishment of getting a  master’s degree in business administration. It was deeper than the  gathering of family an

Spoken I AMs Read – John 6:53-70 Scripture: “ It is the Spirit that gives life, not the flesh. The words that I speak, they are spirit, and they are life (John 6:63).” Denial: “There is no limit to who I can be.” Affirmation: “Everything that Jesus Christ said about himself, I can say about myself.” Jesus, our Wayshower, understood the power of his words.  Therefore, he made a conscious decision to speak life. When Jesus  said the words, I AM, he meant what he said. He was declaring his  divine nature and the truth of his being. When we see Jesus as our  Wayshower, it brings our attention to the truth that everything that  Jesus said about himself, we can say about ourselves. Every I AM  statement that Jesus made in the scriptures we can declare about  ourselves. There are seven recorded instances where Jesus actually begins a  statement with the words, I AM. I AM the Bread of Life (John 6:35).  I AM the Light of the World (John 9:5). I AM the Good Shepherd  (John 10:11-14). I AM the

Yes!

“Yes!” “ Let your yes be yes, and your no be no ... (Matthew 5:37).” “Yes!” is a one-word prayer. “Yes!” says that you are open to Divine unlimited ideas and receptive to all the good that God has for you. God withholds no good thing from those who walk upright before him (Psalm 84:11). “Yes!” keeps you upright, operating in your higher consciousness. “Yes!” says that you offer the Holy Spirit no resistance to what God desires to do with you, for you, in you and as you. “Yes!” aligns your will with the will of God. “Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God (Hebrews 10:7).” In one word, “Yes,!” you tell God that you will be who God created you to be, say what God is calling you to say, do what God is leading you to do, and go where God desires for you to go. Say “Yes!” to health and experience your healing. Say “Yes!” to harmony and experience the love that you desire and deser
