Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the Truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. (Jas 3:13-17)
Nothing that the Spirit tells us in our prayers will contradict what He has already revealed in the Holy Scriptures, which is why it so important to hear, read, study, memorize, meditate, and memorize them so GOD can apply them to our hearts and minds as we live in Him the new life we have in Christ, in His righteousness. We are to have the mind of Christ, who knew the Word, and wield its sword with practice and confidence, which only comes from practice and study. We are to think GOD'S thoughts after Him, which only comes when we know Him, the Prince of Peace, the Word made Flesh, The Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, from the pages of His written revelation to us, His Holy Word.
The Authoritative, inspired, inerrant, infallible, perfect, pure, and true Word of GOD is our wisdom, our sword in the battle, our guidebook for life, and our basic instructions before leaving earth. The Church of GOD is to stand strong in its principles as we minister to those around us who are hurting and in need, applying His wisdom and Truth. The people of GOD are to speak its truths in love as we disciple one another in His Word, and edify, equip, and encourage one another as we grow in Him, conformed, not to this world and its false wisdom, but into the image of His dear Son. GOD'S army of witnesses are to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ, in the wisdom and guidance of the Holy Spirit to this lost and dying world, and as we go with the Good News of forgiveness of sin through repentance and reconciliation with the Father through faith in His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary, telling all we meet of His love, mercy, and grace, that they might believe in Him and in believing have life in His Name.
For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD, forgiveness from GOD, and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.
In Christ,
