Hey everyone, welcome to the Authentic Podcast.

5

My name is Christian and I've been a Christian for most of my life, dedicating myself to

not only studying the Bible, but truly living it out.

6

Together with my amazing wife, we co -founded a Christian nonprofit with a heart for

sharing the love of Christ with the world.

7

Not only am I passionate about our nonprofit, but also teaching God's word and helping

others experience His truth in a

8

powerful and authentic way.

9

If you're ready to grow in your faith, you just happen to be in the right place.

10

Alright, let's dive in.

11

The gift of wisdom is one of the nine spiritual gifts listed by the apostle Paul in 1st

Corinthians chapter 12 verses 8 to 10.

12

It is a supernatural endowment from the Holy Spirit that enables believers to apply divine

knowledge to specific circumstances.

13

Unlike earthly wisdom which is based on human experience or intellect, the gift of wisdom

is rooted in God's perspective, offering insight that transcends natural understanding.

14

This spiritual gift plays a vital role in the life of the church, providing guidance,

discernment, and direction in both personal and collective matters.

15

In 1 Corinthians chapter 12 verse 8, Paul writes,

16

to one there is given through the spirit the message of wisdom.

17

This type of wisdom is not acquired through study or experience, but it is a direct

revelation from the Holy Spirit.

18

is a word or message of wisdom that comes as a supernatural insight, often for a

particular decision or situation.

19

This wisdom reflects God's mind and purpose helping believers make decisions that align

with his will.

20

The concept of wisdom in scripture is deeply tied to the character and nature of God.

21

Proverbs chapter 9 verse 10 declares, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,

emphasizing that the true wisdom begins with reverence for God.

22

James chapter 1 verse 5 further encourages believers to

23

Ask God for wisdom, promising that He will give it generously.

24

The wisdom gifted by the Holy Spirit empowers believers to think, speak, and act in ways

that reflect God's divine insight.

25

The gift of wisdom can manifest in various ways, often in moments when critical decisions

need to be made or when navigating complex situations.

26

Below are three ways the gift of wisdom may operate.

27

1.

28

Guidance and Leadership Church leaders often rely on the gift of wisdom to make decisions

that affect the body of Christ.

29

For instance, in Acts chapter 6, when the early church is faced with challenges in

distributing food to widows, the apostles use wisdom to appoint deacons, ensuring fair

30

distribution and unity in the church.

31

The Holy Spirit provided them with the wisdom to maintain integrity of their ministry

while

32

addressing a practical need.

33

2.

34

Problem Solving The gift of wisdom is especially helpful in solving disputes or conflicts.

35

In 1 Kings 3, 16 -28, King Solomon demonstrated extraordinary wisdom when he resolved the

dispute between two women claiming to be the mother of the same child.

36

This biblical example illustrates how the gift of wisdom can bring clarity

37

to difficult situations, revealing a solution that would not be apparent through human

reasoning alone.

38

And number three, counseling and encouragement.

39

Those with the gift of wisdom are often able to provide profound counsel to others,

helping individuals navigate personal challenges or spiritual dilemmas.

40

This form of wisdom is practical and provides steps toward growth.

41

healing or understanding.

42

It comes not only as advice but as divinely inspired guidance that helps others see their

circumstances from God's perspective.

43

The gift of wisdom often works hand in hand with other spiritual gifts such as the gifts

of knowledge, prophecy, and discernment.

44

While the word of knowledge involves knowing facts or truths supernaturally revealed by

God,

45

The gift of wisdom involves applying those truths in a godly and effective manner.

46

For instance, someone with the gift of knowledge might be aware of a particular challenge

a church is facing, but the person with the gift of would know how to respond or lead the

47

church through that challenge.

48

Similarly, wisdom enhances the gift of discernment

49

by providing clarity on how to act in the presence of various spiritual forces or

influences.

50

A person may discern spiritual activity, but it is wisdom that guides them in responding

in a way that honors God and brings peace to the situation.

51

The gift of wisdom is crucial for the spiritual health and maturity of the Church.

52

It builds up the body of Christ by

53

ensuring that decisions are made in alignment with God's will.

54

Wise leadership prevents division and confusion, promoting unity and understanding.

55

In a practical sense, the gift of wisdom helps believers avoid mistakes that might stem

from relying on their own judgment.

56

provides divine direction, ensuring that the choices made are beneficial for the

individual

57

the Church and the advancement of God's Kingdom as a whole.

58

When believers use this gift, they reflect the mind of Christ and display godly character

in all situations.

59

The gift of wisdom as outlined in 1 Corinthians chapter 12 is a powerful and necessary

gift for the body of Christ.

60

It transcends that human understanding, offering the divine guidance that is essential for

navigating complex situations.

61

making decisions and solving problems.

62

Whether in church, leadership, personal decision making or everyday life, the gift of

wisdom enables believers to act with God's insight, revealing His will and purpose.

63

This spiritual gift, when used correctly, leads to godly outcomes, enhances unity and

fosters that spiritual growth within the church.

64

Ultimately, the gift of wisdom

65

reminds us that true wisdom comes from God and through His Spirit, He generously equips

His people to walk in it.

66

The practical use of the word of wisdom can be explained through a recent live stream that

I had here on the Authentic Podcast.

67

While praying for viewers and their needs that they're currently going through, which were

physical, emotional, and spiritual, we were seeing breakthrough, people getting healed and

68

set free and delivered and guided.

69

and awesome, awesome wisdom.

70

And one person wrote, they said, pray for me.

71

I believe that I am being held back by a spirit of pause or a spirit of, of like just a

holding back the spirit that is trying to hold them back from growing.

72

And immediately in my spirit, I felt as if that was God that was actually holding them

back, that there were things that needed to come into alignment.

73

And you know, as they believe that life was going on and was continuing on, they were

actually being held back here.

74

God showed me it was like an arrow being pulled back.

75

And as they got certain things into alignment, they were getting ready to get launched.

76

So the demonic was trying to lie to her and our natural flesh was trying to lie to her and

say, Hey, you're being held back.

77

There's a demonic spirit at play here.

78

But godly wisdom came in and said, Hey,

79

God's the one holding you back.

80

There's a couple of things he's putting into alignment, but look out, once that happens,

he is going to launch you.

81

And their response was, wow, I feel so much peace.

82

I feel so much better now that you have spoken that because the lie was replaced with the

truth.

83

And this is the spirit of wisdom in action.
