The Will and the Ego

 

Ask, Knock Seek copy

Beloved,

Every time you consider asking what I think, you have doubts that I have anything to say, so you often put off really asking. You may believe you have asked, but perhaps you haven’t slowed down enough to really listen. You’re not alone in this, but I will continue to gently guide you to a place where it is easier for you to ask, seek, and knock, than to put Me off. You can trust me. I love you, dearly.

Make decisions with your will and the mind of Christ which is in you. Don’t use your ego or your own prior knowledge. The ego seeks but never finds, while prior knowledge is random and full of holes, no matter how smart or educated you are.

I may guide you slowly as far as daily activities and even crises are concerned, but any time you come to me for wisdom, I will give you an immediate answer that will stay with you forever. It helps if you can, or will, write it down.

Matthew 7:7-12

“Keep on asking and it will be given you; keep on seeking and you will find; keep on knocking [reverently] and [the door] will be opened to you. For everyone who keeps on asking receives; and he who keeps on seeking finds; and to him who keeps on knocking, [the door] will be opened.” (The Amplified Bible)

James 1:5

If any of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask of the giving God [Who gives] to everyone liberally and ungrudgingly, without reproaching or faultfinding, and it will be given him.

(The Amplified Bible)

1 Corinthians 2:16

For who has known or understood the mind (the counsels and purposes) of the Lord so as to guide and instruct Him and give Him knowledge? But we have the mind of Christ (the Messiah) and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart.
