I know in this age of the internet that our attention spans are down to mere seconds. But what I believe Our Lord and Lady are revealing to me is so important that, for some, it could mean plucking them from a terrible deception that has already deluded many. I am literally taking thousands of hours of prayer and research and condensing them down to just a few minutes of reading for you every few days. I originally stated that the series would be three parts, but by the time I&#8217;m finished, it could be five or more. I don&#8217;t know. I&#8217;m just writing as the Lord teaches. I promise, however, that I am trying to keep things to the point so that you have the essence of what you need to know.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>WISDOM <em>AND <\/em>KNOWLEDGE<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s the second point. All of what I&#8217;m writing is <em>knowledge. <\/em>What is really necessary, however, is that with that knowledge you also have <em>wisdom. <\/em>Knowledge gives us facts, but wisdom teaches us what to do with them. Knowledge reveals the kinds of mountains and valleys ahead but wisdom reveals which path to take. And wisdom comes by way of <em>prayer. <\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: courier new, courier, monospace;\">Watch and pray that you may not undergo the test. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.

(James 3:17)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Last, I can&#8217;t think of anywhere in Scripture where it <em>promises <\/em>that, if you pray for a specified thing, you are sure to get it <em>as it does for wisdom<\/em>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: courier new, courier, monospace;\">But if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly, and he will be given it.
