James 1:5 (NIV) If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ASK God, Who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. To have a knowledge of God’s truth is to be aware of what He said. To have an understanding of God’s truth is to have the true meaning of what He said. To have wisdom of God’s truth is to know how to apply what God meant to your life. You can’t understand the meaning until you know what the truth is. You can’t wisely apply it to your life, if you don’t know what God’s truth means.

The wisest people in all the world do not know anything in comparison to God. He has knowledge, foreknowledge of the future, understanding, and wisdom that are greater than all humans put together. Jesus, is helping us discover that God is willing to help us live on the basis of His information, His understanding of how things really are, and His abilities to take all that information and understanding and apply it wisely to our lives.

Jesus is helping us find out that all we have to do is start asking God for these things; and, if we do, He will respond to us by giving them to us. Jesus is helping us discover that taking classes and getting trained helps us be able to do things we weren’t able to do before. After training, people are able to be doctors, pilots, teachers, scientists, and all kinds of other professions. We can allow ourselves to be trained by God; and, we will learn how to live successful, victorious lives as doctors, pilots, teachers, scientists, and all kinds of other professions.

If someone does something to us without our permission, we are offended; we feel like our rights have been violated by that person. God made us like that because He wants us to be free individuals that are able to decide the course of our own destiny. He waits until we give Him permission BEFORE He starts supplying His information, understanding, and wisdom to us.

You are entering into a program with HELP eMagazine and with Jesus that spends a lot of time trying to help you see how wonderful the things of God are. Rather than you being told what to think, what to believe, and what to do, Jesus and the Bible will be trying to help you WANT to receive what God has to offer. Jesus will be providing you with prayers you can use to let God know you want His help. When you pray and ask for something, you are giving God YOUR permission to provide you with those things BECAUSE YOU WANT THEM.

One of the reasons we suffer and lose at life, and, one of the reasons it seems like God isn’t willing to do anything about it is, because we haven’t given Him permission to do those things for us. What God actually does is, put together major systems, provisions, and supplies; but, they are only available to those who ask for them.

Only having to ask for the provisions of God makes them free; but, having to ask for them makes them permission based. If the only people who get all the provisions of God are people who ask for them, then the only people who have them are people who want them. Once we start praying and asking God for things, we find God to be very generous, loving, and understanding.

The next issue is what to ask for; we need to realize that another reason we suffer with issues like guilt difficulties is because we don’t have the information, understanding, and wisdom from God that we need. He HAS the solutions in the Bible that COULD solve all these problems in our life. But, because God made us free individuals, we are allowed, by God, to make our own decisions to study or not study, none of HIS THINGS will be forced on us.

Our body, the world, and the devil may try to force things on us; but, God never will. He could force His generosity on us, trick us into accepting it, or scare us into taking it. But, His attitudes are good, pure, honoring, and loving in His relationship with us. He has given us free, individual rights that HE never will take away. Even though He has incredible solutions in His Word that could bless us beyond our wildest dreams, our right to be free as an individual is one of His top priorities.
