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.
Sermon Series: Earthly or Heavenly Wisdom
聆听神的智慧
约翰一书 2:20,27你们从那圣者受了恩膏，并且知道这一切的事。27 你们从主所受的恩膏常存在你们心里，并不用人教训你们，自有主的恩膏在凡事上教训你们。这恩膏是真的，不是假的；你们要按这恩膏的教训住在主里面。
如果我们想被圣灵引导，那么我们的身份必须在灵人/内在灵人/心中，然后才能在头脑中处理我们所领受的。
我们需要知道我们是通过内在灵人/灵来领受实用的智慧，因为圣灵对我们的心说话。不是我们的聪明或头脑从圣灵那里领受，虽然更新的心意不会拦阻我们里面的灵人领受的一种直觉或自发的想法。当圣灵引导我们，聆听神的声音成为我们的第二天性时，我们才知道我们一直与神相连接。我们需要操练属灵的信心，使我们从圣灵所领受的实用智慧得以实现或付诸行动。这是属天的智慧！它是从属灵领域领受的，直接从神那里得到的！祂是真实或真正的超自然体验。你有权全天候去经历！
如果我们接受神藉着圣灵引导我们这一事实，我们便会接受来自直觉和自发的新事物。我们愿意接受来自主的新主意，因为祂的意念非同我们的意念，祂的道路也非同我们的道路！为了向祂在我们生命中的行事方式敞开，包括我们的生意和策略，我们需要借着祂的创造力，在我们的暗室里，在车里，在散步或在商业讨论中，在我们的灵里领受祂。
雅各书 1:5-你们中间若有缺少智慧的，应当求那厚赐与众人、也不斥责人的神，主就必赐给他。6 只要凭着信心求，一点不疑惑；
我们要么使用属地的智慧，要么使用属天的智慧。这是一个选择。显而易见的选择是回避和拒绝世俗、感官享受和魔鬼的智慧，尤其是咨询行巫术的、灵媒、风水学、新时代运动等方面。我们需要养成每天从神那里汲取智慧的习惯，而不是只在危机时刻，因为神要我们以祷告从祂那里领受智慧。我们要对为我们量身定做的实用智慧持开放态度。我们能够得着所应许的，祂将给予我们祂的智慧，祂厚赐与众人也不斥责人。神的智慧将显现在我们如何管理与祂同在的时间，如何抚养子女，如何与配偶建立关系，以及如何在不断变化的商业或企业世界中出类拔萃。世人应该能够看到属天的智慧在我们的生命中运行。
