Tune into God’s Wisdom

1 John 2:20,27 (NKJV) But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things…. But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.

If we want to be led by the Holy Spirit, then our identity has to be in the spirit man/inward man/heart before processing it in the mind regarding what we have received.

We need to know that we receive the practical wisdom through the inward man/spirt because the Holy Spirit speaks to our heart. It is not our intellect or mind that receives from the Holy Spirit although a renewed mind does not hinder the intuition or spontaneous thoughts that we have received in our spirit man. It is when being led by the Holy Spirit and listening to the voice of God have become second nature to us, then we know that we are constantly connected to God. We will need to exercise our faith to implement or act upon the practical wisdom that we have received from the Holy Spirit. This is heavenly wisdom! It is received from the spirit realm which is directly from God! He is the genuine or authentic supernatural experience. You are entitled to experience it 24/7!

If we are receptive to the fact that God leads us by the spirit, then we are receptive to new things given to us intuitively and spontaneously. We are open to new ideas from the Lord because His thoughts are not our thoughts, neither are His ways ours! In order to be open to His way of doing things in our lives including in our businesses and strategies, we need to tap into His creativity by receiving from Him in our spirit during our closet time, in the car, while walking or in a business discussion.

James 1:5-6a (NKJV) If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting,

We will either tap into earthly wisdom or heavenly wisdom. It is a choice. The obvious choice will be to shun and reject earthly, sensual and demonic wisdom especially in consulting mediums, practicing spiritism, geomancy, the new age movement etc. We need to develop the habit of drawing wisdom from God on a daily basis rather than only during a time of crisis since He has invited us to pray to receive wisdom from Him. We want to be open to practical wisdom tailored for us. We are able to claim the promise that He will grant us His wisdom liberally without reproach. God’s wisdom will be revealed in how we manage our time with Him, the way we bring up our children, our relationship with our spouse and how we excel in business or the corporate world despite of the constant changes. The people in the world should be able to see the heavenly wisdom operating in our lives.
