Recurrent Thought

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Wisdom from whom we access Spiritual Wisdom as we increasing learn to invoke his power of discernment of the concerned truths and apply them in the contexts of our lives

God desires that His Children, those justified and adopted in his family operate and perform at a high frequency of the Spirit of Wisdom. The Spiritual wisdom, that one from above, helps to unpack various mysteries of the Kingdom with capacity to make believers uniquely different from those who are not from His Kingdom. The Holy Spirit is called the Spirit of Wisdom and in this role he demonstrates the uniqueness of expressing His Grace of Wisdom that is also called Spiritual Wisdom.

Notice that the “Spirit of Wisdom” is not an attitude or a way of doing things. The Spirit of Wisdom is the actual Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Trinity, see in Isaiah 11:2 where he is seen in his seven-fold expression of Graces upon the Messiah. Notice also that Father gives this Spirit to all who believe and ask for him (Eph. 1:17); and imparted through the laying of hands (Deut. 34:9) as Joshua received this impartation under the tutelage of Moses.

Word Study

1. The Spirit of Wisdom (Hebrew is Chockmah - Greek is Sophia)

   • Spiritual Wisdom is the ability to rely on the Spirit to make right decisions, resolutions, judgments, choices based on spiritual, rather than earthly, realities. Anyone can live with wisdom, but only Christians who have the Holy Spirit can see spiritual realities through the same eyes that God does.
      
2. The Spirit of Understanding (Hebrew is Binah - Greek is Sunesis)
   • Spiritual Understanding is the ability to comprehend the truths and mysteries concerning the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is rightly understanding who God is, what his character is like, what he has accomplished, and the right human response to this.
   • The Spirit of Understanding is God's supernatural revelation-His secret insights to His Word. Understanding simply means a "putting together" or a comprehending or a grasping of His Word. The Spirit of God illuminates our hearts and gives us understanding of His Wisdom. In other words, He "turns on the lights for us."
   • Remember every time you get Understanding immediately write down what the Lord is showing forYou will likely not remember it. If it's a supernatural revelation from God, then it's not something that is yet registered in Your own mind.

Steps to accessing the Spiritual Wisdom

1. Recognize that God is the Source of Spiritual Wisdom
   (Roman 11: 33, Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!”

   • Wisdom is the Grace of God and first to be expressed in relation to the Universe
   • The Lord possessed me at the beginning of His way, before His words of old. From everlasting I was established, from the beginning.”Proverbs 8:22, “
   • As long as there has been God, there has been wisdom. “The Lord possessed me” – Wisdom belongs Him. Spiritual Wisdom is to be found with God and nowhere else
   • Through Wisdom God created all things
      
2. Ensure to Have a Relationship with God
   • You can’t access this wisdom without having a Personal Relationship with God
   • This Relationship is begun by recognizing and appropriating the efficacious Work of Jesus Christ on the Cross
   • God's Wisdom is the foundation of our lives and the basis upon which the rest of our spiritual "house" will be built. Proverbs 24:3 validates this when it says, "through wisdom a house is built..." (Lives, Nations, companies, Families, Marriages)
   • Whether we realize it or not, God's Word (His Wisdom) must be our sustenance, our nourishment, our food, and our life's bread.
   • Jesus in us is the Wisdom of God however, the reality of this Wisdom is activated and maximized through a relationship with the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 1: 24, 30)
      
3. This Wisdom increases in Us as we progressively Fear the Lord (Pro. 9:10ff)
   • The Fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom
   • What is a fear of God? A compelling heart attitude of adoring worship.
   • It is the description of a life devoted to following, serving and worshiping of God. The Fear of the Lord is perfected by obedience.
   • God has wisdom and He passes it to us through this medium of a relationship;
   • We access this Wisdom when we know, Fear and Obey Him
      
4. Recognize and Honor the Holy Spirit the dispenser of Spiritual Wisdom (1 Cor. 2:8-16)
   • The first function or operation of the Mind of Christ, produced by the Spirit of the Lord in us. God's Wisdom is His supernatural intelligence-His secret knowledge. This is like hidden "mystery" that can only be revealed by God's Spirit.
   • The Spirit is the One who knows the mind of God and the Secrets of God, but he freely reveals to those who are sanctified.
   • Spirit of Wisdom reveals new dimensions of Wisdom essential for our living (1 cor. 2:9)
   • The Spirit of Wisdom ensures that we discern and understand the wisdom of God, we comprehend what God wants us to Know (1 Cor. 2:12, 14)
   • The Spirit teaches and interprets truths for believers (1 Cor. 2: 13)
      
5. Deliberately Meditate on the Word of God
   • When we don't read the Word and the Spirit of Understanding is not allowed to operate, then we won't be able to see or find our way.
   • Hosea 4:14 says "...people that do not understand shall fall."
   • Jos 1:8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.
