Wisdom

Claiming The Scriptures:

Wisdom

James 1:5

"If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him."

Isa 2:3

"Many peoples will come and say, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths."

Ps 32:8

"I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you."

Ps 16:7

"I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me."

Ps 51:6

"Surely you desire truth in the inner parts; you teach me wisdom in the inmost place."

Eccl 2:26

"To the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind."

Prov 2:5-7

"then you will understand the fear (reverence) of the LORD and find the knowledge of God. For the LORD gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. He holds victory in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless."

I Jn 5:20

"We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true-- even in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life."

2 Cor 4:6

"For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ."

Do these passages imply God's will to be a big ole mystery to us forever and ever?

I think Not!

If you don't know, ASK.
Ask until you know and can stand on the promises with bold faith!


Sister Saint (along with Brother Broke) says ...

"But we don't always know God's will."

Shows how righteous and pious we are, right?
* rolls eyes *

That is a lie propagated by the devil and passed down through the generations from people who believe to suffer miserably is from the Lord.

We may not know God's will, but we certainly CAN.

Mark 11:22-24

"Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them."

Receive is not a passive word. Thayer's Greek-English Lexicon says the word translated receive in Mark 11:24 means "to take, to lay hold of, to take in order to carry away, to take what is one's own, to take to one's self, to claim or procure for one's self, of that which when taken is not let go, to seize, to apprehend, to get possession of, to obtain a thing, to appropriate to one's self, to obtain, to collect, to gather, not to refuse or reject." 

A wise man will ask God what His will is for their life and when they get the answer ~and the answer will come!~ then they will line up with it and enjoy all of the blessings that God so wants to give us.

Be smart!

Ask God.

He's the only One who has the answer.
