Get Wisdom #37

  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, interpretation and comprehension)."

  When God speaks about Wisdom, He is speaking of His Word and His Spirit. He's not speaking about the wisdom that comes from the natural realm. 1Cor.1:30(Amp) tells us, "But it is from God that you have your Life in Christ Jesus, Whom God made our Wisdom from God." "Jesus is the Word made flesh," according to John1:14. The Wisdom of God is the Word of God. Jesus told His followers in John6:63(Amp), "It is the Spirit Who gives Life (He is the Life-Giver), the flesh conveys no benefit whatever (there is no profit in it). The Words (Truths) that I have speaking to you are Spirit and Life."

  The discernment, comprehension and interpretation come from the Holy Spirit and 1Cor.12:10(Amp), "The Holy Spirit gives these Gifts individually as He wills." Each of us have the measure of the Holy Spirit and what we need at the time. So much misunderstanding in the Church comes from our interpreting a Spiritual Word with the wisdom of the world. Rom.1:22(Amp) says, "Claiming to be wise, they became fools, professing to be smart, they made simpletons of themselves." Man's wisdom has all but stopped the Super-natural work of the Holy Spirit in the Church. 

  So many have heard, "That's passed away." But, just because some don't walk in the Holy Spirit, doesn't mean that God's Word is void of Power. Ps.119:89(Amp) tells us that, "God's Word is forever settled in Heaven and is eternal." If God's Word failed, then everything He created by His Word would fall into nothing. Heb.1:2(Amp) says, "But in the last of these days, He has spoken to us in the Person of a Son, Whom He appointed Heir and Lawful Owner of all things, also by and through Whom He created the worlds and the reaches of space and the ages of time (He made, produced, built, operated, and arranged them in order)."

  We're intelligent to read the words, but it takes the Spirit to discern, comprehend and interpret what we've read. In order to understand the Power of the Blood of Christ, we need the Holy Spirit to reveal why and how this Power works. The Lord has many things for us, that carnal wisdom simply dismisses. 

  We don't pray in tongues just to prove we've received the Holy Spirit. We do so because He is the Doorway into the mysteries of God Himself. 1Cor.14:2(Amp) says, "For one who speaks in an unknown tongues speaks not to men but unto God, for no one understands him or catches his meaning, because in the Holy Spirit he utters secret truths and hidden things not obvious to the understanding (the natural mind)."

  Everything the Father has provided through Jesus, is always available to His children. 1Cor.1:9-10(Amp) says, "What eye has not seen and ear has not heard and has not entered into the heart of man. YET TO US, God has unveiled and revealed them, by and through His Holy Spirit, for the Holy Spirit searches diligently (exploring and examining everything) even sounding the profound and bottomless things of God, the Divine counsels and things hidden and beyond mans scrutiny."

  Let's never stop seeking the Truth of God's Word.
