I found out today that in treating the nourishment we receive as
“homework” so to speak - through following Christ’s instruction of
getting out our dictionary and searching for correlation’s in the Word,
truly helped me in focusing more and gaining a better understanding of
what I was reading. It helped me to slow down and be more diligent in
seeking the deeper meanings and listening for Father’s voice within my
heart as I read what was written.
I was asked to share what I learned and I pray that what I have to
share will open the eyes of those that read it. In Christ’s name, Amen.
Proverbs 8
Wisdom’s Appeal
In the same way that The Word/Christ Jesus is the embodiment of Father, Father is the personification of wisdom.

The many meanings of the word appeal bring to mind the many meanings of each word within each verse of the scriptures.
Wisdom is appealing, in that it is nice to have wisdom, wisdom is
attractive, interesting and enjoyable, but is that what the word is
relating to us? Is it in fact that it is Father who calls out to Her
children, appealing to us that we listen to Her voice? The voice of
wisdom, knowledge and understanding?
1 Doesn’t Wisdom call out?
Doesn’t Understanding make her voice heard?
How can wisdom call out and why is wisdom capitalized, unless it’s
referring not to the state of having wisdom, but Father as being wisdom
Herself? The same goes for understanding, also being capitalized. She
is both wisdom AND understanding. At the same time, Father wishes that
Her children gain wisdom, so that we may also gain understanding - by
which She offers Herself to us. It is via understanding - Her
understanding and not our own - by which we are able to hear Her.
Correlation: Proverbs 4:7 Wisdom is supreme – so get wisdom. And whatever else you get, get understanding.
2 At the heights overlooking the road,
at the crossroads, she takes her stand.
The word heights brings to mind Mount Zion, but also the fact that
Father is above us all as our creator. In the scriptures She is also
referred to as “most high” in that there is no one above Her as She is
the giver of our realities.
Definition of Crossroad
1. a road that crosses another road, or one that runs transversely to main roads.
2. a by-road
3. often, a crossroads.
a. The place where roads intersect
b. A point at which a vital decision must be made.
c. A main center of activity.
The word crossroads is a visual one for me. When I think of the word
I see a cross. When I think of a cross, I think of Christ Jesus. When I
think of Christ Jesus, I think of the sacrifice he made for us and the
decision that Father had to make in order for this to take place. At
the same time, I see the cross as actually being a crossroads. A point
in time in which a vital decision was made. I also think of the stand
both Father and Michael/Christ Jesus took against evil.
3 Beside the gates at the entry to the city,
at the main entrance, she cries out:
For those who discern that Father really has more female attributes
than male, it is obvious that this verse speaks of Father. She is too
holy to step foot outside of the gates so She stands by them, crying
out to us. We have not gained entrance yet, but She is with us and
beside us, showing us the way to the main entrance of the city. The
holy city, the new city of Jerusalem where She resides. It is up to
each of us individually to come to Her. To hear Her voice and to follow.
4 “People, I call out to you;
my cry is to mankind.
Mankind is the human race.
Definition of Cry
1. to utter inarticulate sounds, esp. of lamentation, grief, or suffering, usually with tears.
2. to weep, shed tears, with or without sound.
3. to call loudly; shout; yell
4. to demand resolution or strongly indicate a particular disposition
Father is long suffering. I feel that She both calls loudly to us
via Her Holy Spirit/Active Force, and also sheds tears for us in what
is to come when Her wrath is administered upon the earth and mankind.
5 Learn to be shrewd, you who are inexperienced;
develop common sense, you who are foolish.
Definition of Shrewd
1. astute or sharp in practical matters
2. keen; piercing
We are all inexperienced, in comparison to Father, Michael/Christ
Jesus and the rest of Father’s creation and we must learn what is
practical. What is practical are Father’s commands. Her wisdom. Her
truth. We are, or have all been at one time, foolish. We must develop
common sense. Spiritual common sense. Not common sense that is muddied
by the physical world.

Matthew 16:2-3 He answered them: "When evening
comes you say, 'It will be good weather because the sky is red.' And in
the morning, 'Today will be stormy because the sky is red and
threatening.' You know how to read the appearance of the sky, but you
can't read the signs of the times.
Probably one of the most controversial topics argued about amongst Christians and non-Christians alike, is whether or not the world was created in 7 actual 24-hour days. What might actually top that argument, is whether or not Armageddon will actually occur.
There was once a little girl named Anne and all her life she felt different from all the other people around her. While she was only eight years old, she would walk down the busy streets of the city she lived near and peek in through the windows, her little hands leaving prints as she pressed her nose to the glass. The people inside never noticed her. They were always too busy talking amongst themselves, drinking, eating or spending money on designer clothes, jewelry and cars to notice the small girl with dirty blonde hair and green eyes.
