To all my Dear Children and Grandchildren,
I felt this was a good time to write to you and speak about a wonderful gift that God has given us. A mind that can reason, think and learn. And to my loss, I neglected using it to its fullest. I expect that I still fall far short of using it full capabilities.
In the bible in Hosea 4:6 it reads; my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge,
In Isaiah 5:13 it reads; Therefore my people go into exile for their lack of knowledge; and their honorable men are famished; and their multitude is parched with thirst
My dear children; I pray that you will use your gift; your learning and reasoning to the fullest, and that you will increase in wisdom and knowledge
I want to you know; there are two different types of wisdom and knowledge.
One is the wisdom and knowledge of man and the world. The other is the wisdom and knowledge from God.
Our nation is in great distress at this time because there are many others like me that thought they had great knowledge but only had the knowledge of the world. I think that all of you know about the Garden of Eden; there were two trees, the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Adam and Eve could have eaten from the tree of life instead they were deceived into eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Today we still have to make the same decision. Which tree am I going to eat from?
The tree of life is the wisdom and knowledge from God. One of the names of Jesus is the Wisdom of God. Two of the gifts of the Holy Spirit are wisdom and knowledge.
Don’t think that I am trying to convert you to some religion, I am not. I don’t care what church you go to or if you don’t go. That is your decision to make. I am speaking about this wonderful mind that God has given us, and how we can use it to the fullest with the wisdom and knowledge of God available to us. Then we can make proper decision and not be taken in by the wisdom and knowledge of the world that is destructive and brings us into bondage and robs us of our freedom.
My dear family, I am amazed at some of the decisions that people make that are going to affect their lives deeply for years to come. I think, “Are they crazy; why are they making such a decision?” Now I know why they are making such decisions, it is the way of the world. It is the wisdom and knowledge of the world and as a result we suffer loss and go into bondage.
My dear loved ones, I pray that God will add to that wonderful mind that He has given you. That He will fill it with Godly wisdom and knowledge and that you will have peace and prosper and be free.
Merry Christmas a great New Year.
I think of you every day.
Dad
