Wisdom From the Holy Spirit

“But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.”

 (James 3: 17-18, NIV)

When you follow the Holy Spirit, you can’t but help gain the wisdom of the Lord. The Holy Spirit will impart to you wisdom in situations that are unfamiliar, in talking with people about Jesus, and to help you with everyday life.  Some say wisdom comes from making mistakes and through experience, but I’m not talking about worldly wisdom, I’m talking about spiritual wisdom, wisdom that only come to us from God through the Holy Spirit.

Wisdom from God is pure and will not lead you astray in your walk with Him. His wisdom will draw you closer to Jesus and will allow you to face the spiritual battles we face every day from the world and from attacks from the dark forces fighting to keep us and separate us from Jesus. Wisdom will keep us strong and will help our spirits and mind to stay on the path of righteousness.

This is hard sometimes, for the world fights against the wisdom from God, but if we listen to the Holy Spirit and abide by his guidance, we are surely able to resist. Gaining the wisdom from the Holy Spirit is not something we achieve over night, but is something that grows in us as we grow in our relationship with Jesus.  The Holy Spirit will give us the wisdom we need to protect us from sin and to impart the love of Jesus to others who are seeking Jesus or do not know about Him.
