Get Wisdom #22

  Prov.4:7(Amp) says, "The beginning of Wisdom is, Get Wisdom (skillful and Godly Wisdom)..  For skillful and Godly Wisdom is the principal thing. And with all you have gotten, get understanding (discernment, comprehension and interpretation)."

  Prov.2:7-8(Amp) says, "He (God) hides away sound and Godly Wisdom, and stores it up for the righteous (those who are upright and in right standing with Him). He is a shield to those who walk uprightly and in integrity. That He may guard the paths of justice; yes, He preserves the way of His saints." When God "hides away sound and Godly Wisdom," He doesn't hide it from His people, but for His people. He doesn't show His Wisdom to the enemy, so they won't know in advance what He was doing. He shows it to His people to walk in. 1Cor.2:7-8(Amp) tells us, "But rather what we are setting forth is a Wisdom of God once hidden from the human understanding and now revealed to us by God-that Wisdom God devised a d decreed before the ages for our glorification to lift us into the Glory of His Presence. None of the rulers of this age (or world) perceived and recognized and understood this, for if they had, they would never have crucified the Lord of Glory."

  One of the primary ways to get Wisdom, is by God's Word. We still need understanding, discernment and interpretation while reading the Word. 1Cor.14:2,4(Amp) tells us another way to receive Godly Wisdom. Thus, it says, "For one who speaks in an unknown tongues, speaks not to men but unto God, for no one understands or catches his meaning because in the Holy Spirit, he utters secret Truths and hidden things  not obvious to the understanding." 

  Revelation knowledge is opened up to the believer when we pray or speak in tongues. The believer isn't speaking to the people in prophecy. Verse4 says, "He who speaks in a strange tongues, edifies and improves himself, but he who prophesies interpreting the Divine will and purpose and teaching with inspiration, edifies and improves the Church and promotes growth in Christian Wisdom, piety, holiness and happiness." 

  We have a personal language for our edification and there's a Heavenly language given to edify the Church. We cannot mix up these two languages. One is for our personal use and one is for the Church and comes with interpretation. Paul goes on to explain the difference, telling us that this Wisdom was hidden away is for every individual in the Body of Christ to reveal God's Wisdom in our daily lives. Satan has fought against the speaking of tongues, because he has no control of what we're praying or receiving from the Father. The enemy has no defense against nor can he stop us from getting Wisdom. JudeVerse20(Amp) tells us, "But you, beloved, build yourselves up, founded on your most holy faith. Make progress rise like an edifice higher and higher, praying in the Holy Spirit."

  Again, Paul tells us in 1Cor.14:4(Amp), "He who speaks in a strange tongue tongues, edifies and improves himself." When we speak and pray in tongues, we're speaking to the Father Himself, and we're speaking mysteries. These aren't mysteries to God, but to us. The Holy Spirit reveals hidden Wisdom to and for us. This is God's giving us understanding, discernment and interpretation, so we can walk in His Word.
