The Spirit of Wisdom

During His earthly ministry Jesus needed 'the spirit of Wisdom' when it came to making decisions and dealing with the enemy. As believers, that same spirit lives in us.

James 3:15days there are 3 kinds of Wisdom: Earthly wisdom, which is not always dependable because sometimes what seems right is a way to death. (Prov 16v25). Sensual wisdom which is based on emotions that can lead to confusion, hurt, and jealousy. Demonic wisdom, which is selfis, lustful and ungodly.

Godly wisdom which comes from above is pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits without partiality and hypocrisy (James 3v17).

The Bible says, when you need wisdom, ask God and He will give it to you (James 1v5). And when you're praying, ask yourself these questions :


  1. Are my motive pure or will I be ashamed of the later on? 
  2. Will my decision result in mercy and compassion or strife and stress? 
  3. Have I considered all the people who will be affected by the outcome? 
  4. Am I willing to submit to what God wants or am I determined to plough on regardless? 
  5. Will the end result cause me to have a Horse attitude or will it produce an environment where love, joy, peace, Patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control can grow? (Gal. 5v22-23.
  6. Is it fair and impartial or does it favor a particular person or group? 
  7. Can I good conscience pursue this particular course of action or does it involve some level of deceit or selfishness?
