We will experience Immanuel, God with us when we know that all the talents that God has belongs to us in a covenant relationship. All talents are shared.God told us that we can have all His wisdom liberally without reproach in the epistle of James. Have you been asking for it?
James1:5-6 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, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.
You can have faith in Him that when you ask Him for wisdom. He will allow you to draw on His wisdom including having a word of wisdom to know how to act in a particular situation. The word of wisdom is something that the Lord drops into your heart giving you the know how to move things forward.
What is not the word of wisdom? It is NOT acquired wisdom in the affairs of life neither is it applied knowledge. The word of wisdom received is different from the prayer that we pray to God to have the wisdom to know how to deal with the affairs of life. That wisdom to know how to deal with the affairs of life is given to everyone when we ask God for it.
We are talking about the word of wisdom through the gifts of the Holy Spirit. God is the source of all wisdom and knowledge. He is omniscient and nothing is hidden from Him. However, He can choose to reveal to us a small part /portion of what He knows. Therefore, it is termed as a word of wisdom because the information is fragmented. It is imparted to us supernaturally by the revelation of the Holy Spirit’s will. The word of wisdom can come in the form of a vision, dream, audible voice, prophecy and or tongues with interpretation.
The word of wisdom has to do with the future which is different from the word of knowledge. Of course, the two might work hand in hand depending on the situation that God chooses to reveal. God gives you the opportunity to see a future even if it may not be pleasing – this can then be changed by prayer and the Holy Spirit.
Prophecy can be and in most instances is a word of wisdom.
We will experience Immanuel, God with us when we know that we have God’s nature in us when we are in a covenant relationship with Him.

智慧的言语 – WOW
当我们知道在盟约关系中神所有的恩赐都属于我们的时候，我们就会经历以马内利（神与我们同在）。所有的恩赐都是共享的。
神在《雅各书》中告诉我们，我们可以尽情地领受祂所有的智慧，而不受斥责。你可曾求过？
雅各书1:5-6你们中间若有缺少智慧的，应当求那厚赐百物，又不斥责人的神，主就必赐给他。只要凭着信心求，一点不疑惑。因为那疑惑的人，就像海中的波浪，被风吹动翻腾。
当你向祂求智慧时，你可以信靠祂。祂会让你支取祂的智慧，包括在特定情况下赐下智慧的言语来让你知道该如何行事。智慧的言语是神浇灌在你心里的东西，让你知道如何使事情向前发展。
什么不是智慧的言语呢? 它不是在生活中习得的智慧，也不是实用的知识。我们所领受的智慧的言语，不同于与我们向神求智慧使我们知道如何处理生活中的事务的祷告。那类知晓如何处理生活事务的智慧是当我们祈求时赐给每个人的。
我们所说的是藉着圣灵的恩赐而来的智慧的言语。
神是一切智慧和知识的源头。祂无所不知，在祂无可隐藏。然而，祂可以选择向我们启示祂所知道的一小部分。因此，它被称为智慧的言语，因为信息是碎片化的。它是通过圣灵旨意的启示超自然地赐给我们的。智慧的言语可以以异象、异梦、可听见的声音、预言或可译方言的形式出现。
与知识的言语不同，智慧的言语必与未来有关。当然，这两者可能会携手合作，这取决于神选择启示的情形。神赐你机会看见未来，即使它可能不令人喜悦——于是就可以通过祷告和圣灵来使之改变。
预言可以是并且在大多数情况下就是智慧的言语。
当我们知道我们与祂的盟约关系中，神的本性就在我们里面，我们就会经历以马内利（神与我们同在）。
