Asking For and Getting Wisdom

Not all wisdom comes from God. In this urgent message from James 3, Dr. Michael Youssef exposes the difference between worldly wisdom and wisdom from above. Worldly wisdom may sound impressive, but Scripture calls it selfish, bitter, and demonic. It fuels envy, pride, division, and destruction. But godly wisdom is different. It is not manufactured by intelligence or experience—it is received from God by those who ask in faith. Wisdom from above is: Pure, Peaceable, Gentle, Merciful, Full of good fruit, Rooted in Jesus Christ. This episode calls believers to reject self-centered living, repent of bitter jealousy and selfish ambition, and seek the mind of Christ daily. When God’s wisdom rules the heart, believers walk in unity, speak with grace, and live as witnesses to the Truth of the Gospel.
