WE NEED TO LEARN THE WISDOM OF SOLOMON, THAT GREAT GIFT GOD GAVE HIM. PART 1

 Remember wisdom is seeing people and things as God sees them. 

He doesn't look on the outward appearance. He looks at the heart. 

Proverbs 1:2-3

To know wisdom and instruction.  To perceive the word of understanding.  To receive the instruction of wisdom.

Proverbs 3:19-24

The word by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding He established the heavens;  by His knowledge the depths were broke up, and the clouds drop down the dew.

My son let them not depart from your eyes (His words) keep sound wisdom and discretion; so they will be life to your soul and grace to your neck.

Then you will walk safely in your way And your foot will not stumble.

When you lie down and your sleep will be sweet.

Beloved if you want sweet sleep, pray for wisdom that God gives us so freely.

Remember that sound wisdom is the ability to live skillfully. Mixed with divine perception and common sense.

God gave us a brain to renew in His word, and use, for learning and to retain His word of life.

Before we were saved we did put all kinds of ungodly thoughts in our mind.  Things that were unsettling, that is why our mind must be renewed.

This is all necessary to be able to handle the issues of life.

Proverbs 11:2

When pride comes, then comes shame; But with the humble is wisdom.

Proverbs 4:20-23

My son, give attention to my words;  Incline your ear to my sayings; Keep them in the midst of your heart; For they are life to those who find them, And health to all their flesh. 

Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.

Beloved, keep in mind that Jesus grew up knowing the proverbs of Solomon. 

God's word says that Jesus grew in wisdom and favor with man.  (Luke 2:52)

James 1:5

If anyone of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

When God answered Solomon, (1Kings 3:3-15) He gave him great wisdom to rule the people.

When we have that kind of wisdom, we won't see people with pink or green hair, with piercing or tattoos all over, we will see a soul who needs to know Jesus loves them.

This reminded me when the Lord said go to Walmart when we first moved to Virginia.

We didn't need anything, but on our way we saw a guy with piercing all over his face. safety pins in his eyebrows. Dressed all in black.

He was dragging a chain, he belonged to a heavy metal group.  

He looked so unhappy.  I told my husband this is why we were to go here.

We prayed for him and asked the Lord to make it clear that we are to talk to him.

He did,  so we took him aside and talked to him, then prayed with him, the Lord said his parents are praying for him, believing that he will leave the band and come home. 

His travel bus just happened to come to our town at that time.

Don't you love how the Holy Spirit works?

Long story short after we talked with him and prayed with him, He said he was going to quit the band and go home to Georgia, that's where we had just moved from. God's timing is so perfect.

Beloved, see with God's eyes and hear with His ears, let wisdom have her way.  

Lives will be changed, and hearts will be renewed. When you walk in the wisdom of the Lord, His love will overflow in you.

Proverbs 4:7-9

Wisdom is the principle thing;  Therefore get wisdom.  And in all your getting, get understanding.  Exalt her, and she will promote you;  She will bring you honor, when you embrace her.  She will place on your head an ornament of grace; A crown of glory she will deliver to you.

Beloved,  there will be a Part 2 next week, but study these scriptures and ask the Holy Spirit to show you where you need the wisdom of God working in your life.

Proverbs 16:16

How much better to get wisdom than gold!  And to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.

Proverbs 16:21

The wise in heart will be called prudent, and sweetness of the lips increases learning.

Proverbs 16:23

The heart of the wise teaches his mouth,  And adds learning to his lips.

Beloved, when you walk in the wisdom that God has provided for you, you will long to learn more and more about our Lord Jesus.

Part 2 next week.

God bless your day

Jesus loves you

Love in Jesus 

Joy

Ah, Wisdom! How elusive it can be until we learn humility! What a blessing it is when we are in a position to receive it! Thank You Father, that You are the giver of every good and perfect gift, and that includes Your Wisdom! Can't wait for part 2!

I love this Joy. In particular I resonate with the idea that with God’s wisdom, we will see people the way He sees them; not just according to how they appear to us by how they’re dressed, tattoos, etc

DOES IT MATTER WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL, AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED?

 G O S P E L= GOD'S OWN SON PROVIDED ETERNAL LIFE. This is the true gospel,  the good news!! What are we to conclude about this matter? Paul makes it clear, that whoever preaches Christ and the gospel, it doesn't matter, as long as the Gospel gets preached. Philippians 1:15-16 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill.  The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains, but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in everyway, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. Beloved, there are all kinds of preachers out there, but their motives are not our business. Those that are preaching for all the wrong reasons, could later repent, and start preaching for the right reasons.  We have seen this through the years. We are to listen for the truth of God's word. I h...

SCIENCE AND THE BIBLE.

Science proves that God's word has it right for sustaining our life. Science says, that we need   four basic elements to sustain life and survive. We need air, water, food, and light. We have it all in Jesus, if we have received Him as our Lord. Science is right. It has proven God's word is true. Acts 17:25 (Paul was speaking about the Unknown God to the men in Athens) Nor is He worshipped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, Since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. We need air in order to breathe. When we receive Jesus we have His breath, breathing through our lungs. When we breathe, we speak the name of God. Just speaking His name, we inhale YAH and exhale WEH.   YHWH means breath of life. Our Jewish brothers and sisters know the name of God means breath of God. This is an interesting fact that we believers need to know. We also need light. John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, "I am the light of the world; He who follows Me shall not walk...

JESUS IS NOT A GLORIFIED BUTLER, HE IS THE SON OF GOD.

SOME BELIEVERS THINK THAT JESUS IS A GLORIFIED BUTLER.  Whatever they ask for they will have, whether it is right or wrong. JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!!  YOU ARE NOT TO COMMAND HIM,  YOU ARE TO ASK HIM, HONOR HIM, AND RESPECT HIM AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.  I have heard some believers young in their faith and understanding, say that they have prayed for such a thing and God will give it to them. They are trusting in their faith, not their faith in God. (Works of the flesh, which is witchcraft) Witchcraft is attempting to manipulate your environment or circumstances. (SELF) Works of the flesh. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. (1Samuel 15:23) Galatians 5;19-20 NOW THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE EVIDENT, WHICH ARE: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions , jealousies, outburst of wrath , selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, and revelries, ...
