Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
Does it seem that other people are always seeing things that you do not see and you feel a little "stupid" that you didn't see that ....
Here is some understanding for you ... some healing for you ...
Where do ideas come from? How is it that one person "understands" and another does not understand?
Where does understanding come from?
James 1 ... 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
God gives wisdom. God gives understanding. God gives to whom HE wills. God tempers the body as HE chooses. God explains this in the following scripture.
I Cor. 12 ... 12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body:so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 14 For the body is not one member, but many.
15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? 18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. 19 And if they were all one member, where were the body?
20 But now are they many members, yet but one body. 21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee:nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. 22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:23 And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. 24 For our comely parts have no need:but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked:25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.
If everyone saw at once, would there be a need for each other? If we all had the same talents, would we need each other?
And to those who do not understand "why" the others didn't see ... put away your arrogance ... understanding is from God, not of yourself. God chose to let you see. God did not choose to let everyone in the room see. Your understanding is from God by the will of God and not of yourself.
I Cor. 4 ... 6 And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another. 7 For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?
Let each of us repent! and change our way ...
Instead of marveling in the person who received the idea, we should be marveling in God, knowing that all good and perfect gifts are from above.
We should be glorying in God and not a human.
Instead of being jealous we didn't have that idea, wanting men to glory in our flesh, we should be glorying in God for giving the perfect plan to us.
Instead of being puffed up, arrogant, even scoffing at others because they didn't see, we should realize God caused us to see so how can we take pride in ourselves and scoff at those who did not see. How terrible to do this!
Yet God had patience with us and mercy with us in our foolishness and God didn't destroy us.
Now that we are enlightened, we must repent and make immediate change and stop ourselves from ever doing this again, focusing on:
James 1 ... 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
