Psalm 103 tells us to not forget the benefits of the Lord. One of the greatest benefits of knowing Jesus is godly wisdom. When you receive Jesus, you receive wisdom. However, you must learn to draw upon that wisdom in order for it to help you. Wisdom will help you in so many areas, including your finances, your health, your family, your business or profession, and more. Enjoy this message on video or audio and be encouraged that wisdom belongs to you, in Jesus’ name.

Notes: WISDOM—A GOSPEL BENEFIT

But because of Him you are in Christ Jesus, whom God made unto us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. (1Corinthians 1:30, MEV).

MT: When you receive Jesus, you receive the wisdom of God, which comes by the Holy Spirit.

One of the ways He redeems your life from destruction is through wisdom. 

Benefits of Wisdom: Avoid mistakes and their consequences, understanding of truth and how to apply it (finances, relationships, physical, mental, and emotional health), how-to anything, guidance). Paul prayed for the church to have a “spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him.”

God gives us wisdom to apply knowlege for success in the Christian life. 

I. He Saves by the Foolishness of Preaching 1 Corinthians 1:18

II. Not by the Wisdom of Man 1 Corinthians 2:1-5

Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall not enter it.” (Mark 10:15, MEV).

For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy. For I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. But I fear that somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve through his trickery, so your minds might be led astray from the simplicity that is in Christ. (2Corinthians 11:2-3, MEV).

Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this world, let him become a fool that he may be wise. (1Corinthians 3:18, MEV).

III. The Wisdom of God Comes by the Holy Spirit 1 Corinthians 2:6-16

Mystery—something hidden to the unitiated. 2 Cor. 4:  If our gospel be hid …

John 3:3 Except you be born again, you cannot see.

The Holy Spirit is Your Teacher

But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things. (1John 2:20, MEV).

Conclusion: Come to Jesus and Receive Wisdom (Jn 1:12)

Many times we think that God is not answering our prayers. But could it be that we are not allowing Him to answer the way that He wants to answer them? We think we need one thing, but God knows we need something else in order to receive what we are asking for.

Solomon asked for wisdom, and God gave Him an understanding heart. But the Lord was so happy with His prayer that He also gave Him riches and honor. Many great blessings will come into our lives as we ask God for wisdom to know and do His will.

In this message, I talk about how to unlock answers to prayer by receiving the wisdom and guidance that we need. Through Jesus Christ, we have access to all the riches of heaven, including wisdom. Enjoy this message today and be encouraged!

Notes: PRAYERS THAT GOD ANSWERS

Then God said to him: “Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked long life for yourself, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice, “behold, I have done according to your words; see, I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has not been anyone like you before you, nor shall any like you arise after you. “And I have also given you what you have not asked: both riches and honor, so that there shall not be anyone like you among the kings all your days. (1Kings 3:11-13, NKJV)

MT When you ask God for wisdom, He will give it to you.

THE KEY IS TO ASK

 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. (James 1:5-6, NKJV).

ACCORDING TO HIS WILL

You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures. (James 4:3, NKJV).

Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him. (1John 5:14-15, NKJV).

-When you ask according to His will, He will give you more than you ask for … 

-His Word is His will.

WAIT FOR HIS COUNSEL

They soon forgot His works; They did not wait for His counsel, But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, And tested God in the desert. And He gave them their request, But sent leanness into their soul. (Psalms 106:13-15, NKJV).

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. (3John 1:2, AV).

Tom’s testimony in Haiti. OTHER EXAMPLES: Health, relationships, business, on and on.

PAUL PRAYED FOR WISDOM FOR CHRISTIANS 

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, (Ephesians 1:17, NKJV).

JESUS HAS BECOME OUR WISDOM

But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God — and righteousness and sanctification and redemption — that, as it is written, “He who glories, let him glory in the LORD.” (1Corinthians 1:30-31, NKJV).

If Jesus is in you, wisdom is in you. Determine to walk in the spirit and revelation of the wisdom of God. 

RECEIVE JESUS. RECEIVE WISDOM

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: (John 1:12, NKJV).

“All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out. (John 6:37, NKJV).

How God Got Me Out of Debt [Audio & Video]

I was a born again, Spirit filled, faith-believing, on-fire Christian. I tithed and gave offerings. I had been pastor of two churches, traveled on the missions field, and I had a genuine experience with God. Yet at the same time, I was in debt up above my eyebrows. All because of lack of wisdom about money.

The Bible says that the borrower is a slave to the lender. Even though I was doing certain things, right, my use of credit was keeping me bound and defeated.

On this video, I share how God got me out of debt over a period of years. There were many blessings and miracles along the way that helped to bring me out of debt, but godly wisdom was the key to making those blessings count towards the goal of becoming financially free.

So often we think that we need a miracle from God to get us out of our mess. God does do miracles! But sometimes what we need most is wisdom from the Lord. This applies to financial difficulties or any other problem in life. Enjoy this video! Don't be condemned! Just realize that the Lord loves you and has a good plan for your life. Follow that plan and you'll be blessed!

Notes: HOW GOD GOT ME OUT OF DEBT

Reading: 1 Kings 3:3-15

Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people? And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing. And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment; Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee. And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days. (1Kings 3:9-13, AV).

MT Jesus will give you wisdom to be successful in life!

Sometimes we think what we need is a miracle, or a breakthrough. But often what we most need is wisdom. Then when the miracle comes we will know how to handle it.

Lottery winners often go broke after a few years.

WISDOM IS THE PRINCIPAL THING Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her. (Proverbs 4:7-8, AV).

WISDOM WILL CAUSE YOU TO INHERIT SUBSTANCE I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions. The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength. By me kings reign, and princes decree justice. By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth. I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness. My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver. I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment: That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures. (Proverbs 8:12-21, AV).

We are not talking about being greedy here, but God wants you blessed, and He blesses through wisdom.

-Wisdom is a person.

-Wisdom comes through prayer. James if any lacks wisdom, let him ask of God.

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: (1Corinthians 1:30, AV). NKJV became for us…..

WISDOM IN FINANCES

The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender. (Proverbs 22:7, AV).

When you are in debt, you make decisions based on the lender. You are the servant. When you are free of debt, you are more free to follow the Lord.

Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. (2Corinthians 2:14, AV).

What a powerful Word of God!!! God ALWAYS causes us to triumph!

Not sometime. Half the time. Once in a while. ALWAYS!

Think of it. Total victory. All the time. That is God's plan for your life.

No, He's not promising you a trouble free life. But through every trial, He gives victory.

In this message, I share about the trial of my faith when I was in the hospital three times in October, November. and December of last year. It was a very difficult time, but God is bringing us through to victory! Rejoice! He always causes us to triumph in Christ!

NOTES: God ALWAYS causes us to triumph in Christ!

Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. (2Corinthians 2:14, AV).

MT: No matter what the circumstance, God is always giving victory to the people of God.

Paul did not live a trouble free life:

Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one. Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep; In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness. (2Corinthians 11:24-27, AV).

And yet he proclaimed that God ALWAYS causes us to triumph.

Is this just putting your head in the sand and ignoring problems, or is it something different?

Tom’s testimony. 

For with God nothing shall be impossible. (Luke 1:37, AV).

And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God. (Luke 18:27, AV).

Maybe you have an impossible situation. 

A loved one who is away from God, away from you.

A sickness or disease that man says in incurable. 

A deep emotional distress with seemingly no way out.

A financial ditch that you cannot climb out of.

Remember, God always, always, always causes us to triumph.

Paul says, “Rejoice in the Lord always. And again I say rejoice!

Absolutely nothing can defeat the child of God. 

Even death cannot defeat us.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:35-39, AV).

We have friends and partners who have lost spouses. It hurts. It causes grief. It can seem like total defeat. But for the Christian, death is not a defeat, it is a promotion. In Christ there is a resurrection. Nothing is lost!!!

O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?  The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. (1Corinthians 15:55-58, AV).

Eventually, Paul lost his life on this earth. Tradition says that he was beheaded. But he is not defeated! He is still proclaiming victory today through the words he wrote. We are not defeated. We are more than conquerors through Him that loves us. If you have not, receive Christ today. He will always cause you to triumph in Christ.

We think of the grace of God as God's unmerited favor through which we have the forgiveness of sins. It is, but it is also God's ability working in us to make us different. Grace helps us to live right, and you can appropriate that grace through prayer whenever you need it!

Notes: GRACE HELPS US TO LIVE RIGHT

For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. (Romans 6:14, AV).

What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?  Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. (Romans 6:1-4, AV).

MT Some think that the message of grace is a license to sin (or a get out of jail free card), but on the contrary, grace provides God’s supernatural ability for us to live right before God.

Grace (charis) God’s unmerited favor Greek Lexicon: 1. good will, loving-kindness, favor 2. of the merciful kindness by which God exerting his holy influence upon souls, turns them to Christ, keeps, strengthens, increases them in Christian faith, knowledge, affection, and kindles them to the exercise of the Christian virtues. (nurtue and admonition)

GRACE TEACHES US TO LIVE RIGHT

For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee. (Titus 2:11-15, AV).

GOD IS WORKING ON YOU!

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. (Ephesians 2:8-10, AV).

For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. (Philippians 2:13, AV).

NOT BY OUR STRENGTH, BUT BY GRACE

But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. (1Corinthians 15:10, AV).

APPROPRIATING GRACE THROUGH PRAYER

Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. (Hebrews 4:16, AV).

CONCLUSION: By confessing our sin and receiving God’s mercy, we can then find grace to help in time of need. We NEED help! Help Lord! Help!!!

Jesus is the Christmas gift who God sent to the earth 2,000 years ago. Through him, we receive the gift of eternal life, sonship, forgiveness of sins, and the gift of righteousness. These are things that we cannot earn, but are freely given to us, because of Jesus and his sacrifice on Calvary. If you have to work to receive something, it is no longer a gift. It is an obligation. But God gives us a free gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. I encourage you to receive all that God has for you in Christ Jesus today.

NOTES: Jesus, The Christmas Gift

““For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.” (John 3:16, MEV)

Main Thought: God in His love has given us a gift to receive, not to be earned.

Jesus is God’s Gift to Humanity

“Yet to all who received Him, He gave the power to become sons of God, to those who believed in His name,” (John 1:12, MEV)

Salvation is Given, Not Earned

“The Example of Abraham What then shall we say that Abraham, our father according to the flesh, has found? If Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. What does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” Now to him who works, wages are not given as a gift, but as a debt. (Romans 4:1-4, MEV)

They Which Receive Will Reign in Life

“For if by one man’s trespass death reigned through him, then how much more will those who receive abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.” (Romans 5:17, MEV)

Jesus is a gift.

Sonship is a gift.

Eternal Life is a gift.

Righteousness is a gift.

All the benefits of salvation are a gift.

We are His Workmanship

“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not of yourselves. It is the gift of God, not of works, so that no one should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, so that we should walk in them.” (Ephesians 2:8-10, MEV)

Conclusion: Make  a decision today, to not depend on your own righteousness, but to believe in Jesus, and all that he has done for you.

Human beings are naturally resistant to change both in natural things and spiritual things. That is why many Christians and even entire denominations are stuck in a rut of a past move of God and are not moving forward with the new things that God is doing today.

Acts 10 is the story of two men who needed change in their lives. One of them, Cornelius, did not receive the change he needed because no one had told him what to do. But the other man, Peter, did not change because he was stuck in a rut of religious tradition.

We must be open to change if we want to move with God and make an impact on this world for Jesus Christ. We need to begin to do things God's way and not our own way. Doing thing His way will produce the power and results in the purposes of God.

Listen to this audio podcast and you will learn:

How God went to extreme measures to change the trajectory of Peter's ministry.

How one house meeting changed the course of the Christian Church.

How God used the baptism of the Holy Spirit to convince the Jewish believers that God wanted them to reach Gentiles.

How you can open up spiritually to the change that God wants to bring in your life.

Today, God is pouring out His Spirit on those that are thirsty. There are many problems in the world that man can't solve, but the Spirit of God has all the answers and the power to bring lasting change in the hearts of mankind. In this message, God is encouraging us to be a light in this dark world and to let the Holy Spirit have His way in our lives.

Our Father has promised to pour out His Spirit on ALL flesh. I believe that we are going to see the greatest move of God to ever hit the face of the earth before Jesus returns. It's time to pray for God's glory and pray for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

NOTES: GOD IS POURING OUT HIS SPIRIT

This message does not exactly follow these notes, but it is close.

MT: The Holy Spirit has been given by the Father to the Church to enable us to be a bright light in this dark world. Yield yourself to the Holy Spirit that He might accomplish His work in the earth.

Is. 60:1-5 MEV

Word from the Lord

"Don’t look back, says the Lord. For it’s a new day. Let the past be the past. Look to the glory that’s in your future. Look to me, says the Lord, for I am not only the author, but I am the finisher of your faith. He that’s begun a good work in you shall complete until the day of Christ. I have begun a good work. I shall complete it. Now is the day salvation. Now is the day of salvation. Walk in all that I have given you. For this is the day that I have made. Rejoice and be glad in it."

“My glory is coming to the earth! For though you see great darkness, remember, I am greater than than the darkness. And I shall arise upon my people, and my glory shall be seen in the earth. So tell My people to focus on Me and pray for the glory. Pray that my Spirit will be poured out on ALL flesh and my people shall prophesy."

John 1:5 The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not overcome it. Gen. 1:1-3

Don’t curse the darkness, turn on the light. God’s method to dispel darkness.

But how? By the church. Our role is to bring light to a dark world

Eph 3:14-21 to him be glory in the church thorughout all ages, world without end.

How will the Lord will arise upon us? How will His glory be seen upon us?
