My child, gain the deep understanding from My Word which will serve you in knowing My ways. Receive the living wisdom from My Spirit which is required to guide you as you walk circumspectly. Accept the loving grace from My hand which empowers you to promptly obey Me in humility.
Because you have a place in My Body, you cannot operate in isolation but in unity with each member. Though you receive gifts from My Spirit, they are not to set you apart, but to involve you as a vessel in meeting the needs of the saints. Since you have a calling in My service with authority, it comes with the responsibility to express that ministry in love, even more, in intercession and prayer, even more, in tears and strong petitions, on behalf of those I send you to.
I have much for you to do, My eager one, but it cannot be done in your own strength and understanding, or the “wisdom” from your experience.
Humble yourself, and pray and seek My face, and turn from your own natural ways. Then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive your presumption, and heal your soul, cleansing it from the stain of fleshly corruption, and make of you a holy vessel, purged and cleansed, fit for the service of the King.

May you do the work of God, defending the cause of the weak and fatherless, maintaining the rights of the poor and oppressed, rescuing the weak and needy, delivering them from the hand of the wicked, for the Lord is the righteous judge and does nothing that is unloving or unjust. Psalm 82
May you enjoy good things from the fruit of your lips, as good men do, for he who guards his lips guards his life. Proverbs 13:2-3
