Jesus Grew In Wisdom Knowledge And Stature
Jesus grew in wisdom Jesus was 12 years old and Luke 2:46-47 they were amazed at His understanding and answers. Now He had been missing for 5 days when Joseph and Mary found Him.

Luke 2:51-52 (NIV) 51 Then he went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But his mother treasured all these things in her heart. 52 And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.
The thing I wish for us to understand is that after this we read and Jesus
was not heard from again for 18 years. I imagine He grew into a great carpenter for He was a boy under His father (Joseph) teaching and I believe this is something that has been lost through the years. I grew up with adopted parents my dad had no education however I was taught by him. I was taught to put in natural gas lines as that was a new thing when I was a child and my dad and I did it to make extra cash for the home. Then he became a concrete finisher and later opened his own business and taught me the business. Then I grew up and made some mistakes, however, I have never forgotten what my dad taught me.
When His mom told Jesus they had run out of wine and he stated it is not My time, I believe His mother knew it was coming soon for she told the servants to do whatever he told them to and His time came I guess for He turned the water into wine and it was great wine for even the people noticed it was better than any of the other wine they had been served.
I think that is where the say “saved the best for the last “ came from. This whole story is about us waiting for our time in life, I know it was that way for this ministry. It was given to me in 1985 and I ran with it and fell flat on my face tried again and then it went dormant for 28 years and it was a time of learning for me. Then I was given this ministry on Facebook and now I understand why I needed to learn and grow first. I hope this helps some others understand what is going on and “it is not their time yet”.

Psalms 5:8(NKJV) Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; Make Your way straight before my face.
I BELIEVE WHEN GOD GIVES US A MINISTRY OR WHAT EVER HE WANTS US TO DO THAT IT DONT MEAN THEN. WE DO HAVE TO GROW. AND BE PATIENT. WE HAVE TO LEARN THE ROPES AS THEY SAY WHOEVER THEY ARE. LOL~ BUT ANYTHING YOU DO EVEN IF ITS JUST A JOB WE STILL HAVE TO LEARN IT. JUST LIKE JESUS IM SURE HE WAS LEARNING A LOT MORE THAT ANYONE REALIZES. HE LEARNED HIS DADS TRADE. BUT IM SURE HE WENT AND SPENT TIME WITH GOD THE FATHER. TO LEARN WHAT HE NEEDED TO BE PREPARED FOR. LEARNING ALL THE THINGS GOD THE FATHER WAS TEACHING HIM. I DONT THINK HE JUST BORN AND ZAP HE KNEW. IT JUST DONT WORK THAT WAY. BE NICE IF WE DID BUT IT DONT!!~JUST LIKE US, WE BEEN HERE A LONG TIME WELL ITS SEEMS TO ME. AND I KNOW I HAVE GROWN IN MANY WAYS THAT IM SORRY TO SAY BUT I WOULD NOT HAVE IF I WAS STILL GOING TO CHURCH. MAYBE IF I FOUND THE RIGHT CHURCH. BUT IS ANY CHURCH RIGHT??~ EITHER WAY WE HAVE TO CULTIVATE OUR CHRISTIANITY!!!~ BUT I ALWAYS GOT MY HEALING AT HOME MY DIVERGENCES, AND I CAN WORSHIP HOW I WANT TO. ANYWAY IM SURE HE WENT OFF AT SOME POINT EACH DAY AND SPENT TIME. SEE SOME PEOPLE DONT GET THAT. THEY JUST SIT AROUND WONDERING, MAKING UP STORIES AND THEIR ON CARNAL THOUGHTS!!~ I LOVE IT, THANK YOU JYM!!
