The Gift of Wisdom: A Divine Perspective on Life

“Use the wisdom you have from your God.”

(Ezra 7:25)


Wisdom is an elusive trait to many because it comes from something much less tangible than education or experience. True wisdom is a character quality which can only be obtained through divine inspiration.

Your gift of wisdom is a supernatural ability which allows you to view life from a divine perspective, outside of time, space, and human emotion.

You have received the gift of wisdom by being united with Christ. This wisdom allows you to be in the right place, at the right time, making right decisions. This is also called the righteousness (right-ness) of God which you have found in Jesus.

You understand the need for wisdom as you endeavor to do the right thing for yourself and those you love.

Wisdom comes to you through divine insight. You find comfort in knowing that this is an act of God, rather than a struggle from within your own mind.

You see the wisdom of God through the organization of nature. You see the wisdom of God in forgiveness. You see the wisdom of God in faith. You see the wisdom of God in yourself.

You Have Been Chosen: Embracing Your Divine Purpose

“God chose you to be His own. He does great and wonderful miracles for His children.”

(2 Samuel 7:23)

Your solid connection to the Divine is a foundational pillar to your psychological well-being. You sense a deep longing for the companionship you left behind when you entered the human realm.

You were chosen to accomplish specific assignments on this earth. Your call was to change the course of history in both ordinary and extraordinary measures.

You were chosen to promote the love of God. You were chosen to speak, write, and live in a way that He could demonstrate his kindness through you.

You know that it is God’s desire that all of His children might know the safety and security found in the bonds of His unconditional love.  You share that love through your everyday life experiences and thus prove that God’s decision to choose you was the right one!

Detach from Toxic People: A Path to Emotional Freedom

.

“Don’t pay attention to everything people say – you may hear someone insulting you.”

(Ecclesiastes 7:21)


Without judgment, repulsion or excuse, you gently detach from people who exhibit little concern for the pain they cause or the negative impact they have on their fellow humans.

You do not join in with those who belittle or diminish another’s worth.

You remove yourself from environments which are darkened by oppression, hate, disrespect, and intolerance. You do not allow yourself to be impacted by their insults. You choose to ignore their words so you don’t get caught up in defensive arguments or become ensnared by anger and resentment.

You realize these painful experiences often bring emotional results. You don’t understand why people are so awful to each other.

In quiet times, as you vent to God in sorrowful prayers, He hears and understands.

The demeaning and insulting expressions that offend you, are the same ones that offend Him too.

Finding Freedom in God’s Grace: Letting Go of Regret

Footprints along the sand being washed by ocean waves during sunset

“There is no one on earth who does what is right all the time and never makes a mistake.”

(Ecclesiastes 7:20)


You are learning to release your mistakes and failings into the safe grace of God.

Regret and guilt are often troubling, but as you share your cringe-worthy memories with God, you find a sense of release. Your thoughts are turned toward His forgiveness and mercy, rather than your own failures and remorse.

You receive clemency from Christ, who wipes the slate clean. You understand this is not a once-in-a-life-time free pass, but it is a gift of grace, providing you with a fresh start whenever you need one, throughout your entire life.

When you talk things out with God, regrets are resolved, and guilt is eliminated.

Knowing that Christ has liberated you from any past mistakes, you are overwhelmed with gratitude rather than guilt.

“The Lord who sits on the throne will protect them. They will never be hungry again. They will never be thirsty again. The sun will not hurt them. No heat will burn them.”

(Revelation 7:16)

Your physical body is aging, but your spirit is timeless and eternal.

Because of your belief in Jesus and the power of His resurrection, you have been given the Holy Spirit, who lifts you to new waves of enlightenment.

Springing up with living water, your spirit rushes like a river, creating the current which propels your physical form to each new assignment from God.

In partnership with the Spirit, you generate supernatural energy. This effect infuses the atmosphere surrounding you with a positive charge. This is why you are known as one who lights up the room wherever you go.

In this way, you are living inside-out, using the power produced by the Spirit to carry you from your current human experience into your future spiritual existence.

Someday, your human form will fall away, and you will become fully alive in a dimension so dazzling, it is beyond human words or mortal imagination.

In this glorious realm of eternal life, you will no longer experience hunger or thirst. You will never again experience the discomfort of earthly elements or human distress.

Find Your Purpose: It’s Never Too Late

Moses was 80 years old, and Aaron was 83, when they spoke to the king.

(Exodus 7:7)


Like Moses and Aaron, you understand that it is never too late to start a new venture. When God reveals a fresh assignment, you know He will make a way for you to see it through to completion.

On some days your work is beautiful and clear, but other days, not so much. During the foggy days you rely on the mercy of God and your own personal tenacity to power through.

Like Moses and Aaron, you may not always understand what you’re doing or if it will succeed. But you know that God has a plan and the best place to be, is right in the middle of it!

When you become discouraged or tired from the strain, you remind yourself to be grateful for your call. You know that the Creator of the Universe designed you with a divine purpose in mind. No matter how risky or overwhelming your call may be, there is eternal significance in everything you do.

Christ took hold of you so that you can take hold of the destiny which is yours. You are bringing freedom to the people in your circle of influence. 

 You may wonder if the task will ever be completed or if the wandering will ever end. Yet, you remain patient knowing that God has a plan and He has deemed you a worthy partner to make it happen.

Understanding Your Role as a Prayer Warrior

Samuel said, “I will pray to the Lord for you.”

(1 Samuel 7:5)


You are often asked to pray for others. You are known as a prayer warrior. Friends, family, and acquaintances come to you with their needs, asking you to pray on their behalf.

Sometimes, you receive a prayer request from the Holy Spirit because an intercessor is needed to pray it through. This appeal comes to you as an inner urgency, placed there by God Himself.

You don’t always understand why you wake up in the middle of the night with a news story from across the world, replaying in your mind. All you know is that you must pray.

Other times, prayers are requested by those who know how powerful your prayers are and how seriously you take this responsibility.

Ironically, your most powerful battles on the spiritual front coincides with times when you are unable to function at full physical capacity. A lack of physical strength has no bearing on the results you produce in the spiritual realm.

Spreading Hope: The Impact of Divine Words

The Lord of heaven’s armies spoke His words to me.

(Zechariah 7:4)


The messages you receive from God are words of hope, healing, and harmony for those within your circle of influence.

You may not even realize the magnitude of each message when it is being received or delivered. But in time, you will see the impact of these tiny seeds of hope, as you scatter them freely along the paths you walk.

Your message of God’s love brings color and beauty to a world which would otherwise be dull and lifeless.

Finding Hope in Times of Sorrow

Sorrow may sadden your face, but it sharpens your understanding.

(Ecclesiastes 7:3)


You sense God’s presence with greater intensity during times when you are down and find it impossible to stand on your own. 

Because of this, you have learned to be grateful for your struggles, for they generate a new level of intimacy between you and your Creator.

You know God is there to help shoulder the heaviness you feel when your heart is sad and therefore, you are able to find hope even in the midst of despair. 

Through this, you gain a greater appreciation for the relationship you have with the Divine and a deeper understanding of the value of His presence.

“Lord my God, I trust in you for protection.”

(Psalm 7:1)

You have invested your most valuable assets into the Kingdom of Christ. Contributions of trust and loyalty are given freely to God, and His returns never disappoint.

Unflinching faith comes to you like a divine download and you are often amazed by a sudden sense of confidence that seems to appear out of nowhere.

You actively seek help from God and as a reward for your humble request, the Holy Spirit infuses you with the wisdom to discover solutions which you know are beyond your natural level of comprehension.

You prove yourself to be a trustworthy protector of what is sacred. You give honor to God and respect to His creation.

As you place your trust in God, He places His trust in you.
