 Wisdom

What is wisdom?

The Lord gives us comprehension, wisdom, and understanding of the Word when we ask the Holy Spirit for it in prayer with our love, faith, and humility.

We must remember we have limited intelligence which God gave us, He on the other hand has infinite intelligence. When we ask for wisdom we are given a much greater and better understanding of the scriptures. We are asking the Holy Spirit to teach us the correct way with his understanding.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom

1 Corinthians 2;10-13 

10 For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. 11 For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God,13 which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words.

We are not to lean on our own understanding, or another man's understanding.

The scriptures were written by men filled with and guided by the Holy Spirit. Therefore to understand the Word properly we must be guided and given wisdom from the Holy Spirit.®

It's imperative before we study the scriptures that we pray for guidance and wisdom from the Holy Spirit and protection from the enemy's insidious and subtle ways. He works overtime on Christians. ®

Dear Lord, I come to you in Jesus name, forgive me for any sins, transgressions, and wrongdoings, place a shield of armor of protection around me to fight off the enemy. Give me wisdom and understanding guided by the Holy Spirit to comprehend the Word. amen 

The Wisdom of the Wise

(God's wisdom vs mans wisdom)

How wise are we?

There is limited human wisdom and rationalization.

There is greater wisdom in understanding the Bible when we ask the the Holy Spirit for wisdom, and guidance.

The so called wisest man on earth has spent his whole trying to prove there is no God. He's in a wheel chair totally crippled and can only speak with a computer. He believes we and all life here on earth developed from a black hole. (We must pray for his sole)

Who is happy about that theory? The enemy.

The foolishness of God is wiser than the wisest of man.

It is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will thwart the cleverness of the intelligent.”

We cannot begin to fathom the wisdom of God. We are limited in intelligence, God's intelligence is infinite.
