Bringing
Wisdom into Line with
God’s Kingdom
MAKES ITS PLEA TO US.
Just like the Logos (the Word) of John 1:1,
Wisdom has
dwelt with the Lord from the eternities.
THERE ARE FIVE SOURCES from which wisdom might find release in us. Some are good; some hold danger. In all of them we need the help of the Holy Spirit.
• FIRST is pure wisdom that comes from
above. This finds release in us by the Holy Spirit.
• SECOND is the wisdom revealed in Scripture. Here we need help from God’s
Spirit lest we twist His Word
and make wrong use of it.
• THIRD is the wisdom that comes from counselors. Here we need the help
of the above two, lest the counsel be contrary to what is right before
God.
• FOURTH is the wisdom we gain through the living of life, We need the
help of the above three that we might learn from our mistakes.
• FIFTH is the wisdom that descendeth not from above. This is earthly, sensual and devilish. Here we need the help of all
the above.
may give unto you (us) the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him…
Paul prayed that the spirit of wisdom and revelation would find release in those he was holding in prayer and that this would come in the acknowledgment of Jesus Christ.
HEAVENLY FATHER, By Your Holy Spirit, set flowing in us a continual stream of wisdom and revelation to guide us in what is right. Help us not to be misled by demonic wisdom, or wrong words of wisdom from others. Stir within us a desire to seek the wisdom to be found in Your Word. And please let the wisdom released in us by Your Spirit lead us to the full knowledge of Christ. AND FATHER, Let us see ourselves, both as we are our humanity and as we are in Christ. May what we see about our humanity draw us into a greater revelation of Christ in us. Open Your Word to us and make its revelation... |
