Keys are designed to grant you access to something or

someplace valuable.

● Keys are not utilized to withhold something from

you...they are designed to hold something for you.

● If you have a key, you can access the thing or place

that holds value.

Prov. 4:7 Wisdom is the principle thing, therefore get

wisdom, and in all your getting, get understanding.

Prov. 3:13 Happy is the man who finds wisdom, And the

man who gains understanding; 14 For her proceeds are

better than the profits of silver, And her gain than fine

gold. 15 She is more precious than rubies, And all the

things you may desire cannot compare with her. 16

Length of days is in her right hand, In her left hand

riches and honor. 17 Her ways are ways of

pleasantness, And all her paths are peace. 18 She is a

tree of life to those who take hold of her, And happy are

all who retain her.

● Happiness

● Length of days

● Riches & Honor

● Pleasantness & Peace

● Life

1 Kings 3:5 At Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in

a dream by night; and God said, “Ask! What shall I give

you?”

6And Solomon said: “You have shown great mercy

to Your servant David my father, because he walked

before You in truth, in righteousness, and in

uprightness of heart with You; You have continued this

great kindness for him, and You have given him a son to

sit on his throne, as it is this day.

7 Now, O Lord my God,

You have made Your servant king instead of my father

David, but I am a little child; I do not know how to go out

or come in.

8And Your servant is in the midst of Your

people whom You have chosen, a great people, too

numerous to be numbered or counted.

9 Therefore give

to Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your

people, that I may discern between good and evil. For

who is able to judge this great people of Yours?”

● This opened up for Solomon:

○ Riches & Honor

○ Length of days...LIFE!!

1 Cor. 2:9 But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear

heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The

things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”

10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit.

For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of

God.

James 1:2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall

into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your

faith produces patience. 4 But let patience have its

perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete,

lacking nothing. 5 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. 6 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. 7 For let not that man

suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8

he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

● Ask for wisdom (Eph 1&3)

● Ask in faith – you can hear the voice of the Lord

(Rom 8:14 led by spirit are sons of God, John 10

Jesus calls himself the shepherd and His sheep

know His voice, 1 Cor. 2 we have the mind of

Christ and know all things, John 14 we know the

Spirit of truth)

● Be a doer of the word!
