A Prayer for when you need wisdom and direction.
Father God,
There are so many decisions to make,
And I do not seem to know what the best is,
For now or for the future.
You said if we lack wisdom,
All we need to do is ask You.
I really need You to pour wisdom into my mind today.
Thank you!
Amen.

THE GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
THE GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
Text: 1 CORINTHIANS 12:1-11.
THE THREE GIFTS OF REVELATION.
2nd GROUP OF NINE: WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE, AND DISCERNING OF SPIRITS.
1. THE GIFT OF: WISDOM, VERSE 8.
“To another, the word of wisdom.”
An utterance from God, a part of His wisdom.
(Acts 5:1-11; 6:10; Ephesians 1:17-19; 1 Corinthians 2:5-15; 14:26).
“That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power.”
A word, of God's wisdom. The gift may come by an inward voice, a vision, or a dream. But, it will come for a divine purpose. For it will always lead the Church, in the ways and will of the Lord God.
The gift is manifested when there is a serious problem in the Body of Christ. When, after believers have come together, talked the problem through, and struggled in prayer and the problem are still not solved, a “word of wisdom” comes, and the entire group comes to a decision.
This is a divine “word of wisdom” from the Lord, spoken through men, yet, all are deeply mindful that the right thing has been said, an example of this is found in Acts 15:5-27. The gift must be used in love, and be edifying to the Church.
Sometimes we see flashes of wisdom in the sharing of the Word, knowing that the Lord has spoken to us into a need. Or in personal problems when something is said, that helps us through. For we need to listen to what the Lord says to us all.
So be FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. Seek the Lord for the “gift of wisdom.”
