WAR X - "The Wisdom Weapon"

WAR IX “The Wisdom Weapon”

Our goal is that everyone become mature in their faith.

*Col 1:28 Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ. Col 1:29 For this I toil, struggling with all his energy that he powerfully works within me.*

Maturity affects many areas of life- Handling storms, decision making, direction of convictions.

The gift that God has given in maturity that affects all these areas is wisdom.

*Jas 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. Jas 1:6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.*


*Pro 2:1 My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you,*
*Pro 2:2 making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding;*
*Pro 2:3 yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding, Pro 2:4 if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures, Pro 2:5 then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God.*

*Pro 2:6 For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;*
*Pro 2:7 he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk in integrity,Pro 2:8 guarding the paths of justice and watching over the way of his saints.*
*Pro 2:9 Then you will understand righteousness and justice and equity, every good path;*
*Pro 2:10 for wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;*
*Pro 2:11 discretion will watch over you, understanding will guard you,*
*Pro 2:12 delivering you from the way of evil, from men of perverted speech,*
*Pro 2:13 who forsake the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness,*


What happens when we lack wisdom?

* Swayed easily (wrong and right becomes subjective outside of absolute truth.)

* We trust no one and Satan is using this to his advantage

We get trapped in the trust cycle (trust no-one and everyone at the same time)

* Identity goes to the highest bidder

a. Opinions are being replaced with convictions without due diligence

* Reactive in partiality

a. This is dividing our country and our people

When you consume the world you starve the spirit.
