(00:24):
In the overflow today's teaching, we'll explore how the Lord
is using people like you and me to build his
kingdom and usher in a new air of glory. Here
we go.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Hey, everybody, Michelle talking here so excited, but you're here listen.
I am excited because I feel lied core in this
season where the Lord is calling us to walk in
a higher level of wisdom so that we are able
to be distinguished as His people. And I want to
go straight to Proverbs chapter nineteen today PBS chapter nineteen,
(01:01):
and we're gonna look at a few verses here, but
we're gonna start our time together. In verse eight, it
says to acquire wisdom is to love yourself. People who
cherish understanding will prosper and so one of the key
ways to bring prosperity into our lives is to walk
(01:21):
in the wisdom of God. Most people would say, oh,
I need a group degree, or I need a good job,
or I need connections I need I need to have
the best network. I need to be connected to lovers
and shakers. But the way to prosperity and the way
(01:41):
to abundance is the wisdom of God that is build
through scripture. And so to acquire wisdom the Bible is
teaching us is to love yourself. Man, we have such
a self love movement that's happening in the world right now,
sealth care. And so from a biblical perspective, from the
(02:04):
wisdom of Solomon Solomin, wisdom will height with me alive.
Solomin said, the best way to love yourself is to
acquire wisdom. To acquire wisdom, and so I think it's
important for us to look at this and say, Okay,
if I love myself, because I am to love my neighbor,
(02:26):
as I love myself, I must become a lover of wisdom.
So wisdom is the principal thing in all you are getting.
We must also what gain understanding, and so Solomon is
saying that our way of gaining understanding, the way of
(02:46):
our gaining insight is stone key to our prosperity, and
so let's read it together. In the Passion translation, verse
eight declared, Yahwi's teachings are right and make us joyful.
His precepts are so pure Y'away's command challenge us to
(03:10):
keep close to his heart. The revelation light of his
word makes my spirit shine radiant. Yahways decrease our trustworthy.
The fear of Yahi is pure, enduring forever. So it's
important for us to recognize that we need the wisdom
(03:32):
of God. He's perfect in all of his ways. He
is without shadow of turning. This nature and character and
his loss. His command with his truth lead us in
a way that is simple, pure and true. And so
one of the things that I have held on to
in terms of scriptural understanding is that our God is
(03:56):
not the author of confusion. In fact, because of his
nature and his character, he is without complication. Although to us,
because we're used to the ways of this world and
a godness world, his wisdom that is first pure and
then sensible and peaceable, it sometimes becomes a confrontation to
(04:21):
the darkness that we're accustomed to. And so in order
to acquire wisdom. We have to be willing to see
its value. Come on, we have to be people that
value the lesson of God. So what do we value?
We know in society and we value affirmation, We value recognition,
(04:46):
we valunue wealth, We value all kinds of things. But
it's important for us to recognize that we have to
crime and value and acquire secure the wisdom of God.
So acquire the wisdom of God is to what love
(05:09):
your style? And so when you love yourself, when you
love something, you value it and you terrishit. You they
do everything to make sure that it's in good standing.
And many of us aren't learned how to love ourselves
in a godly way. And so today I want to
(05:31):
have unto you that actually pursuing wisdom, pursuing the spirit
of truth, pursuing the Holy scriptures, pursuing the revelation of
the Holy Spirit, is actually loving yourself. And from that
place you're able to love others well because you will
(05:52):
have the perspective and the horn side of the Father.
You'll have the wisdom of God and operation in your
life in such a way that you're actually able to
love people from a place of wisdom, insight, and revelation
because you have loved yourself enough to walk in the
wisdom of God. This is so good, you know, because
(06:14):
sometimes we think, oh, I love that south and purchased
myself certain things, or if I loved myself, I wouldn't
do this, so I want to do that. We have
a lot of judgment against ourselves regarding certain things. However,
come today. The scriptures are all the necessity for us
to love ourselves enough to walk in the wisdom and
(06:38):
the counsel of God. Turning your Bible if you can,
I'm gonna turn over to Isaiah chapter eleven. I think
it's a good segue for us to just hoiler in
a couple of verses here, because it's important to understand
that that wisdom is also an aspect in the nature
(07:02):
of God, as manifested to us through the life of
Jesus and the presence of the Holy Spirit in the
life of the believer. Isaiah chapter eleven, Verse two says,
and the spirit of the Lord will rest upon him
Isaiah's prophesying about Jesus, and the spirit of the Lord
will rest upon him. The spirit of wisdom and understanding
(07:22):
the spirit of counsel and my the Spirit of knowledge
and the fear of the Lord. And then verse threads
us he will delight in obeying the Lord. He will
not judge by appearance, nor make a decision based on hearsay.
And so I wanted to how I be verses to
you today, because the same spirit that anoint to Christ
(07:47):
is the same spirit that's alive with you. And so you,
as a blood lost believer, have access to the spirit
of the Lord resting upon your life in such a
way that you are able to access the spirit of wisdom,
the spirit of understanding, the spirit of counsel and might,
(08:08):
the spirit of knowledge, and the fear of the Glory
by the Holy Spirit. And so we've got to begin
to love the fact that we have access to Holy Spirit.
We have access to the Word of God, we have
access to every spiritual blessing. We have access to all
things that pertain to life and godliness. And as we
(08:30):
began to love ourselves enough to acquire the wisdom of God,
we will then be able to be known, as John
seventeen declares, by the love that we share one to another.
Because as we love ourselves through the Word of God,
we are able to show up and love others. Well, listen,
(08:54):
this is so good. Right. So we started in Proverbs
chapter and let's go back there. So on verse line says,
lead very universe, gate them. Since verse nine, a false
witness will not go unpunished, and altyer will be destroyed.
It isn't right for a fool to live in luxury
(09:16):
or for a slave to rule over princes. Sensibly, people
control their temper. They are respect by overlooking wroms. So
this is so key because what the Lord is teaching
us through the wisdom of Solomon is how to navigate
our daily laws. And so a false witness, to bear
(09:38):
false witness is to say something is that isn't and
to all and to give an oath. Or you know,
when you are a witness in the court, or you're
a witness to something, or you witness and you write,
you are saying what I saw it is true, and
you're certifying it, you're standing behind it. And what the
Word of God is saying is that those things will
not go without punishment. I mean, they'll be uncovered. And
(10:02):
if we build on lies, it will bring destruction. It
will be destroyed. A liar will be destroyed. And so
the wise if it isn't right for a fool to
live in luxury, then it's only right that the lives
live in luxury. So if we're looking for a certain
kind of lifestyle, wisdom, the wisdom of God is the
(10:23):
way to acquire that life stuff we're probably thinking, especially today,
oh and especially young people. It's like, oh, let me
be an influencer. Let me if I have followership, If
I have these people, then I'll be able to have
a certain lifestyle. And so the way we have that
a lifestyle that is above poverty, that is wealthy in
(10:47):
the ways that matter, ends by following the wisdom of God.
Turn in your Bible. I want to highlight a couple
of verses in chapter twenty. Go over to chapter twenty,
verse twenty seven. It says the Lord's light penetrates the
human spirit, exposing every hidden motive. So it's important for
(11:10):
us to recognize that if we're going to love ourselves
enough to acquire wisdom and that we will cherish understanding
that will prosper the live and being word of God.
It's also going to expose every in motive that's inside
and death and everything and motive would bring destruction. So
(11:31):
we need the wisdom of God to expose those things
that we might not even be aware that could become
a snare. And so as we continue to love the
wisdom of God and acquire it, go after it. The
Bible declares that the Kingdom of God is like a
pearl a great price that was hidden in a field,
(11:52):
and a wealthy man so everything he had so that
he could acquire the field that the pearl was in.
So we've got to begin to excel in acquiring the
wisdom of God in such a way and on such
a level that we understand that it is the pathway
and the roadmap to successful lining. And so I just
(12:15):
want to encourage you today in your faith and in
your love for God. For God is love, and those
that love know the Father, and so right now, right
for you, I just want to I just want to
encourage you that there is an open invitation in this
(12:35):
season for you to walk in the love of God.
I think what is on well a higher level, in
a high dimension, and a greater death than we've ever known.
Because time is short, and so we must burn brighter
and shine brighter for the Kingdom of God like never before.
And so I just want to just want to encourage you.
(12:56):
Let the word. Let the Word expose the hidden mode
and of the human spirit, I mean your spirit, of
my spirit. Let the Word of God be that mirror.
Let's not look in the mirror and forget what we
look like in light the word of God, but allow
it to call us to a higher level, a higher
(13:17):
level of fidelity, a higher level of character, a higher
level of integrity, a higher level of morality, higher level
of kindness and graciousness. Because listen, the gifts of God
with our without repentings, but the work of the Holy
Spirit and the life of the believer, that's on us.
(13:37):
That's about us appropriating the principles of God's word by
bathing to our an living thereby in them. That the
fruit of our life demonstrants that we've been with Him,
and that the fruit of the Spirit are our portion
and abundance in every season. The Bible declares and solves
rendy two. Then He'll cause those who are in all
(13:59):
days to flourish in every season and to be green
and vital. And so the process of us producing a
good harvest, the process of us producing a good spiritual life,
is rooted in acquiring the wisdom of God and allowing
well washing of the water being word, and allowing the
(14:20):
flow of the Holy Spirit in our lives to cause
us to be propelled to a higher level of living.
Beyarmed the snares of the flesh. Come on. We want
to walk in the light, and is he even the light?
Come on? We want to walk in by the spirit.
We want to walk by faith. We want to walk
(14:40):
in the spirit. That is what I pray with you
today and just encouraging that you have such a great
call upon your life. You have such destiny that the
Lord has a portioned to you. And as you walk
in the wisdom of God, is she purpose in your
heart in this season? I'm going to go after it.
I'm going to acquire them as my God. I'm going
(15:02):
to go after it a non bar with an all mastrength,
and I'm gonna let my neighbor as myself. And I'm
going to go to a higher level of self love
in a biblical way by acquiring the Listlokai. Watch how
the Lord begins to favor you and cause you to
be a blessing father. In the name of Jesus, I
(15:24):
thank you today for everyone under the sound of my
voice and I thank you Lord that you are causing
us to be a people of great faith and a
people in common wisdom because of the spirit of the
Lord resting upon us. So, Father, we thank you for
your word today. We thank you for the scriptures that
have come forth. Allow them to illuminate our human spirit.
(15:46):
Allow them to illuminate our mindset. God come against us on.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
God rebeliefs, so we have that will cause us to
obligate our authority, that will cause us to remove ourselves
from the place of our assignments that you call us
in deep spirit of the Living God, all of bresh
upon us, cause us to be all that you have
purpose for us to be in this season.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
And we give you glory and we give you praise
for you are exposing those things that would cause us
to lead, that would cause us to be destroyed, that
would cause us or lead us into destruction. Oh God,
we thank you that the Word is a eighth It's
a light into our paple, lamp unto our feet. We
give you glory today for how you're moving and you're
(16:29):
causing your word to be on greatest defense and the
greatest relief of the wisdom and the spirit of God
and our laws. We give you glory in Jesus' name. Amen,
Thank you for listening.
