Dear Beloved Friends,
Greetings in the wonderful Name of the Lord Jesus.
Some years ago while traveling and preaching in Brazil, I was profoundly touched by the powerful words of Proverbs 4:7, "Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding (discernment, comprehension, and interpretation."
Just those words alone produced an insatiable hunger in my heart to study the Bible from cover to cover learning everything I could find about this incredible foundational topic - the wisdom of God.
From the Spirit-Filled Life Bible, I learned that wisdom is knowing the truth and how to apply it to any given situation, while understanding is knowledge seasoned and modified by wisdom and insight. This concept of "knowing the truth and how to apply it" fits exactly into what I teach about becoming financially free. God's Word is that potent!
The words "wisdom", "wise" and "understanding" occur over 140 times in the Book of Proverbs alone. In three passages of Scripture (Proverbs 3:13-18, 21-16 and Proverbs 8:12-21), we are encouraged to embrace wisdom and follow after understanding because patience, discernment, favor, prosperity, safety and other great benefits will result.
New realms of God's wisdom have unfolded with my studies. I have discovered that wisdom is not just God's possession, but His tool. "The Lord by wisdom founded the earth; By understanding He established the heavens; By His knowledge the depths were broken up. And clouds drop down the dew," (Proverbs 3:19-20).
David's prayer in Psalm 86:11 embraces wisdom: "Teach me Your way, O Lord, that I may walk and live in Your truth..." (Amplified). Each of us must learn the ways of God so that we can walk and live by His truth. That's simply living by God's wisdom.
I encourage you to glean from the verses on the Holy Spirit, but never be restricted by the limitations some place upon God's Word from a theological perspective. Always encourage those you pray with to receive every gift the Lord has for them!
Also, we have an excellent two-day Destiny & Freedom Conference planned with Pastor Michael Leavell, and Pastor Ithiel Jones at Marion Christian Fellowship in Marion, S.C. with two services on Saturday morning and evening, July 24 and a single service on Sunday, July 25.
Thank you so very much for praying and helping us touch lives for the Lord Jesus through our books, CDs, as well as, our conferences and church services. May the blessing of Nehemiah 5:19 be yours for your generous and kind help to us..."O my God [earnestly] remember me for good for all I have done for this people."
Great Blessings & Prayers!

The Golden Secret
Psalm 16:5-6
The Passion Translation
Lord, I have chosen You alone as my inheritance.
You are my prize, my pleasure and my portion.
I leave my destiny and its timing in Your hands.
Your pleasant path leads me to pleasant places.
I'm overwhelmed by the privileges that come with following You,
for You have given me the best!

THE POTTER'S HAND
Beautiful Lord, Wonderful Savior
I know for sure all of my days are
Held in Your hand
Grafted into Your perfect plan
You gently call me into Your Presence
Guiding me by Your Holy Spirit
Teach me, dear Lord, to live all my life
Through Your eyes
I'm captured by Your Holy Spirit
Set me apart
I know You're drawing me to Yourself
Lead me Lord, I pray
Take me, guide me, lead me, walk beside me
I give my life to the Potter's hand
Call me, guide me, lead me, walk beside me
I give my life to the Potter's hand.

Psalm 91 (NASB)
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say to the Lord, "My refuge and my fortress,
My God, in whom I trust!"
For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper,
And from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with His pinions,
And under His wings you may seek refuge;
His faithfulness is a shield and bulwark.
You will not be afraid of the terror by night,
Or of the arrow that flies by day;
Of the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
Or of the destruction that lays waste at noon.
A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not approach you.
You will only look on with your eyes,
And see the recompense of the wicked.
For you have made the Lord, my refuge,
Even the most high, your dwelling place.
No evil will befall you.
Nor will any plague come near your tent.
For He will give His angels charge concerning you,
To guard you in all your ways.
They will bear you up in their hands,
Lest you strike your foot against a stone.
You will tread upon the lion and cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you will trample down.
"Because He has loved Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will set him securely on high, because he has known My name.
He will call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will rescue him and honor him,
And let him behold My salvation."
