How do you educate your heart?

There is nothing wrong with achieving the best and highest education that you can obtain.

However, having a high education without wisdom or not knowing how to apply it is useless.

Paul was highly educated, but he said that he counted everything that he had achieved as worthless because of what the Lord Jesus Christ had done in His life.

He disregarded all the things that he thought were valuable so that he could gain Christ (Philippians 3:7-9).

Having secular knowledge without the wisdom of God is empty knowledge and empty knowledge is deceitful.

Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.

(Colossians 2:8-10)

Educating your heart means seeking the wisdom of God.

The wisdom of God is not earthly because man’s wisdom is foolishness to God.

Furthermore, God declared that He will destroy the wisdom of the wise and discard the intelligence of the intelligent (1 Corinthians 1:18 NLT).

Therefore, if you lack wisdom you can ask the Lord who will give it to you willingly without rebuke (James 1:5)

How do you ask God for wisdom?

By praying to God to pour on you His Spirit of wisdom and revelation to know Him.

When you receive this outpouring you will receive revelations from the Lord and you will not be deceived by worldly wisdom.

Let us pray

Lord, we pray that you will give us a deeper understanding of your Word.

We pray that you will pour on us heavenly wisdom to navigate this world of deception.

Lord, we bless and honor you in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Thank you for reading and be blessed.

Beverley has been serving the Lord since she was a child. At an early age, she recognized that God had a special plan for her life, but it was not until in her adulthood that she surrendered her total life to God and accepted the mandate that God placed on her life. The Lord called her into His Kingdom to be an encourager, intercessor, teacher, scribe, priest, and to proclaim the Word of God. Since then, Beverly has established a blog to teach us to become the oil and wine. The oil and wine are purified and mature products, which is the advanced level that the Lord expected of us. In 2017, Beverley published her first book, Harm Not The Oil And Wine. In it, she described her trials and how God helped her to overcome them, and to live more victoriously. The book also exposed the enemy of our souls with detailed information about his past defeats and future extinction. Wright spents most of her time studying the Bible to know the truth of God’s Word. She believes that only God’s truth can expose the deception of the enemy, and uproot and tear down spiritual strongholds. You can learn more about Beverley’s life and testimony on her website becomingtheoilandwine.com. You can also find her on Facebook and Google+ under the name of her blog, and on Twitter as @Theoilandwine. View all posts by Beverley
