Welcome to today's inspiration. I'm Prophet, this is Tammy Williams, and this is my good and dear friend, Pastor Leanne Badgett, with signs and wonders in Knoxville, Tennessee at 2501 Magnolia Avenue. She co-passes with her husband, Pastor Jamal Badgett, and we are so blessed that we all work together. Amen.
We discussed last week about words of revelation, and today we're gonna bring you some more equipping with words of wisdom that as we are ending this year, and going into 2021, that you can discern what you're hearing from God, how you're hearing from God, and the importance of hearing from God between you and him and not just the man and women of God in their leadership positions. Amen. So we wanna talk to you, and we're gonna get right into here. We're gonna talk to you about words of wisdom, which is a revelation gift, along with words of revelation, it is a revelation gift.
The definition of words of wisdom is seeing life from God's perspective. I wanna share with you just real quick, really, really quick. When I met my husband, we got married, y'all heard my testimony, I was not who I was supposed to, I was definitely not who I was supposed to be, I was the epitome of a Jezebel, and I don't say that in a bragging way, I say that in a place of, I am delivered, sanctified, filled with oligos. But I remember a pastor asking my husband, why are you married to her, why did you stay married to her?
And he said, because I saw through God's eyes who she would become, that goes right with this. Seeing life from God's perspective. Is there somebody that you're standing in the gap for, something that you are needing a miracle in? We're gonna show you through scripture of how to look and seek on how God sees a situation.
You know, when I'm in the altar with people, and I'm praying for people, I find I'm so blessed to see, not what they're dealing with right now, but how God sees them. And God sees us on how we're finished. He don't park at where we're at. Thank you, Jesus.
He parks at the end of who we're becoming, and how to get us there, and words of revelation, and words of wisdom will get you there if you'll tune into the right frequency. And that's the Holy Spirit, amen? So we're gonna take you from a scripture out of Acts 23, 6, and Pastor Leanne's gonna read that scripture, and she's gonna give her take on that. I am reading from the Amplified Version, and it says, but recognizing that one group was Sadducees and the other Pharisees, Paul began affirming loudly, in the council chamber, Kinsman.
I am a Pharisee, a son of the Pharisees. I am on trial for the hope and resurrection of the dead. Come on. So you see, Paul is before a council having to give an account of basically who he is, and why he's there.
And I have to wonder if you're ever in that position, will you be able to use the wisdom of God in that area of your life and be like, I'm here because of God, I'm here because I chose God, I'm here because I decided not to do what I used to do. You know? Yeah, yeah. You know, when we talk about the council, the council.
Talk a big bunch of judges. Yeah. Do you think about it back in that day? Yeah, and it's not about opinion.
It's not about our ideas or our will or our perspective. I can't even imagine what he had to have been thinking, and he had to rely on the wisdom of God alone, alone. You see, saying we're not always gonna have a group of people cheering us on or a Bible. I mean, they're just gonna come a time and they'll take them up and you're not gonna be able to Google it on your smartphone, which is what I did to read that scripture.
So will you have the wisdom of God? You know, I don't know if you remember the, it's a secular movie and my oldest son was actually talking about the book of Eli. And how he had to find the Bible, and it was in sign language. And it makes me think of even the people that are in underground churches out of an escape, they have to have the word written upon the tablets of their heart.
Well, guess what? If you have the word written upon the tablet of your heart, then that wisdom from God will illuminate what, and I can honestly say, so I'm not sitting here saying, oh, I know every single word in this Bible, and I've been saved since 1997, and every single scripture, I still have to go hunt. Me too. And dig, but I praise God that I have a foundation written upon the tablet of my heart, so that when I am seeking God's wisdom, they'll guide me and he'll illuminate what I need in that hour.
There are three types of wisdom, wisdom of God. And we're gonna go to first, I'm gonna do first Corinthians, and if you'll look up Ecclesiastics, one, 16 through 18, I'm gonna give you first Corinthians, chapter two, verse six and seven. It said, now this is spiritual wisdom, and in your Bible, it may be headed as spiritual wisdom. Now this is a wisdom from God, okay?
However we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age. I wanna key in right there. However we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age. This means, have you ever met somebody and you heard them say, wow, they're, what, wise, beyond their years?
They're old soul, that's used a lot. This would actually pertain to of being mature in wisdom. Nor of the rules of this age who are coming to nothing, but we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery. Now, if you watch the first episode in December, we talked a lot about a relationship with the Holy Spirit, a lot about the Holy Spirit.
You cannot do this without the Holy Spirit. You cannot gain wisdom without the Holy Spirit. So I wanna say that again, but we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery. Remember when I said Jeremiah 33, he says, when we call upon his name and we seek his face, that he will hear and answer our prayers and show us mysteries, that scripture, mystery, the hidden wisdom.
So saints of God, you've got to have the Holy Spirit, so that as you're seeking wisdom, he'll open up the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory. So he is instructing us that when we seek him, he will speak wisdom to us, like I've always said, writing upon your heart, wisdom of knowledge, or having knowledge and wisdom, they go together. That is the wisdom of God. And the wisdom of the word is, forgive me Lord, the wiz is in 1 Corinthians 2, 6, I've read this.
However we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. It means it's only gonna come from God. It is only gonna come from God and his word. So if man is speaking and it's not this, it's no one void, because that's not the wisdom from God.
That's opinion, could be out of a place of idleness, it could be out of maybe somebody really knows you, so they're making judgment on a situation, but that's not the wisdom of God. The third is the wisdom of man, and I'm gonna have Pastor Leanne take that one. Inclusivity, yes, these, Inclusivity, yes, these, 1 at 16 through 18 out of the amplified version. Yeah, I spoke with my heart saying, behold, I have acquired great human wisdom and experience more than all who were over Jerusalem before me, and my mind has observed a wealth of moral wisdom and scientific knowledge.
I love different translations. I'm gonna have to talk about it. That's where 16 in 17 says, and I set my mind to know practical wisdom and to discern the character of madness and folly, in which men seem to find satisfaction. I realize that this is two, excuse me, I realize that this two is a futile grasping and chasing after the wind.
For in much human wisdom, there is much displeasure and exasperation in increasing knowledge increases sorrow. Scientifically speaking, the very definition of science is that form a hypothesis, which is a educated guess if you wanna put it in late-night terms. So until it's proven wrong, it's scientific. But now if you really read and study the Bible and then you even go a little bit further, science is starting to prove the Bible.
Archaeology is starting to prove the Bible, and archeology is a science of digging up stuff out of the dirt. So it's great to me to see science proven wrong. It's great to me for them to disprove the Big Bang Theory. These are all great things, and it's all scientific knowledge, and science has its place, don't get me wrong.
But if it's not proven by the Word of God, you can keep your scientific knowledge. I don't want it. I want it to be the Word and in science backup, that not vice versa. I want it to be the solidified Word proven Word of God.
That's what we all need in our life. And we've got to realize and understand that when the Lord speaks wisdom, and it's funny to me that He speaks wisdom into your hearing, speak words of wisdom, and words of knowledge, and in return we're supposed to speak it. So this is also a speaking gift. Amen.
Both of them. In the 10 wisdom, if you watched last week's show, we talked about words of knowledge, this week of words of wisdom. So He's speaking into your ear for you to speak it out of your mouth. He's speaking into your ear, for you to speak out of your mouth, what He's spoken to you to edify the body, to help the body, to bring the wisdom to the body of Christ.
Because there's so many lacking in that department. People struggle, I hear people all the time, I struggle to read the Bible. I don't really understand what the Bible's saying. I get lost in reading the Bible.
You really need the Holy Spirit. Because people absolutely help you with your understanding. And if you get struggled, then you reach out to someone who's read it a little bit more. Or ask the Lord for that knowledge, or that wisdom that you're seeking, because all of it comes from Him anyway.
Every single bit of it. Amen. Amen. So we had the wisdom of God.
And then we have the wisdom of the word. And then we have the wisdom of man. And if I can say, the wisdom of man cannot operate without the wisdom of God and wisdom of the word. God's going to say, you're going to read it.
And this is how I, in my simple thinking, is I read the word and I gain, I'm gaining wisdom and knowledge. And then God, the Holy Spirit illuminates it. And then you go into prayer seeking God. And they go hand in hand.
The wisdom of man cannot come forth. It cannot be spoken into existence without the word. And then going to God, or going to God first. And then Him saying, okay, I need you to go to Jeremiah 2911.
So I can tell you what your purpose and plan is. And I'm simplifying that. That you hear in the middle of the night, you're awakened with Jeremiah 2911. And the Lord says, I gave you a purpose and a plan before you, or even putting your mama's wounds.
And say, well, for me, when my husband and I got together, I did not know what this said. I had no earthly idea. And actually, I met the Holy Spirit first. And so the Holy Spirit was giving me scriptures.
And I'm like, I don't go. I have no clue. And so I would go to my husband and say, is this scripture in the Bible? He said, I was hearing God.
Oh, right. I was hearing God. I had no idea. I was hearing God.
I didn't know what was happening. I was all up in my flesh going, I don't understand this. And my husband said, well, honey, yes. How did you get that?
And I'll be like, I woke up thinking about the scripture. I go, what does it mean? Is it for red? Yeah.
Then I never read. So don't tell me that the Holy Spirit don't speak to you once you're baptized in the Holy Ghost with the evidence of times. Because that was my encounter was the Holy Spirit first. And so this day, I can say, OK, God, I'm pretty sure that's the relationship and the knowledge and the wisdom.
But then you've got to start gaining understanding. To give us understanding. You can get the word. You can get the wisdom.
But you can't share it until you've got the word and you've got God to breathe on it. That rua. I love the breath of God. When he just breathes on it and just brings it to florations and brings it to white, the gift of the word of wisdom is the application.
Now, see, that word application means to apply. Of the knowledge that God gives you. If God has given you the word of wisdom and you do nothing with it, he's going to get quiet for a while. I've heard so many people say, I'm not hearing God.
I'll hear him. He's all of a sudden got quiet because he's given you he has given you words of wisdom. He has given you knowledge. He's most likely confirmed his word because God will always confirm what he's telling you always.
I've never, ever navigated through life and God did not confirm. Now, he may use man to confirm what he gave you and what you wrote down because he's got to use man willing vessel to illuminate what you're seeking. And then he gets quiet. He sits back.
A teacher don't take the test for you. He's going to say, OK, now what are you going to do with my word? How are you going to apply my word? I gave you an instruction with that word.
There's a condition. Saints of God, words of wisdom and words of knowledge are oftentimes a condition to a promise he's given you. How many of you have wrote a vision out? A back of two, two says write the vision.
Make it plain. But guess what? You got to take that vision. You got to go to God and say, OK, God, give me words.
Give me wisdom. Give me knowledge and understanding of how I'm supposed to have this vision manifest. But if we don't do anything with it, so say God says, say you have a vision of opening up the grocery store. OK?
It gives you the blueprint for a grocery store. Simple. Right? You think it's simple.
Well, maybe God wants your blueprint on your grocery store to look completely different from everybody out on the street. So you begin to go seeking God for words, seeking God instruction. And he gives you a list, a list full. You better do everything on that list if you want that vision to be successful.
So let's say you go, OK, God, I'm coming into an agreement with it. But you don't put no action to it. That vision's not going to come to pass. You got to go look.
We were given a promise that we would own a house. We've been seeking that. We've been putting the foot to the street. We've been going.
We found a place. We're praying into it. God is this the place you want. Confirm your word.
What is that vision that you're needing wisdom and you're needing knowledge and understanding? Man said that we would have a house. But I didn't take that to the bank. I took the God and say, God, I need instructions on it.
And there's still instructions on waiting on it. What is something that you have? Seek the Lord. You had instructions.
You got the wisdom and you applied it. Your house story. Can you tell us your house story? Whoo!
This is so good, thanks. This is good. And I talked about this the first show that we did. But anyway, I had found a house.
Before I met my current husband that I wanted. Went to see the house, fell in love with the house, called the real estate guy. And he's like, oh, if you want to see it, the whole back of the house is sliding by the door. So he was like, one of these doors.
I'm like, you can go and look at it. Call me when you're done if you're still interested. And I'm like, well, how about I come out here and try to sell me the house? So sure enough, I went in.
And it was rough. It was a little rough around the edges. But I loved it anyway. So I was like, oh, yeah, I was calling him on the phone.
And he didn't answer. So I walked back from around back the house. He was on the front yard, striking the deal to sell the house. But I was looking at the house.
I was like, Lord. So then I met my husband and I was like, you know, Jamal, this is my dream house. This is where I want to live and die. And I said, I want to die today.
But this house, I want to die in. And he was like, OK, so we went and we walked around the house. I called this man daily. God bless Mr.
Conley. You've got action. That was action. A lot of action.
I am the persistent person. I called this man relentlessly. Everybody in his office knew me. They had never seen me in a day in their life.
They were like, oh, he hands on the phone again, Mr. Conley. So relentlessly pursued this man. Relentlessly pursued this house.
He wanted to turn it into a battered women's shelter. Because it's in a residential neighborhood, it wouldn't zone. So then he was ready to get rid of the house. So lo and behold, he calls us on Christmas day.
Six years ago and said, I can't sell this house. He said, I put it on the market. Like I told you all we do. I only had four people looking at it.
One of them was my brother-in-law only because he wanted to see the inside of the house. The other three were looky-lose. He said, I need y'all come and get these keys. The Lord said that I can't sell this house to anybody else.
And guess who moved into the house? And the prophet also spoke that we would move into this house. He said, yes, the Lord said, yes, through this house. So that's where we live today.
But because I was active, and I didn't even know then, that it was a word of wisdom. I didn't know what any of that was. But I knew I wanted that house. And I knew that this prophet, I didn't even believe in at the time because I didn't really believe in prophet, I'm just being honest.
But I prayed and we fasted. And we walked around the house like the walls of Jericho. Seven times, we anointed that bad boy with oil. It was action.
So in action. All this action. And here we are living in it today. I've seen it.
I've seen it. It is amazing house. It's beautiful. It's on the river.
It's mine. Oh, it's beautiful. It's beautiful. But action.
And I want to say this to something she was saying about the application. You can't get a job that I've done that application. And it's got to be filled out in its full and its entirety. And they're going to check it.
So you've got to make sure those things are right. But then the thought of a recipe came to mind. I read recipes a lot because I enjoy cooking. Now do I come in and I'll be in re-I sure do not.
But when I'm ready, I can go pull it up and apply that recipe to make it something that's tangible and edible. But if I'm making a cake and I leave out the eggs, hang on case right. That's right. It ain't going to be right.
If I forget the vanilla, if I don't put it in sugar, or I put too much milk or not enough milk, too much milk is going to make it dry. So you've got to follow the instructions perfectly. You've got to have your measuring cups. You've got to have your mixer.
You've got to have the oven preheated to whatever degree. Because if you do one of those things wrong, the thing that you're making or baking ain't going to turn out right. It's the same thing with the revelation and knowledge of God. He's not going to leave out a step.
You might. He don't. That is good. So write it down.
I promise you, have a pen and paper beside your table at night. Because he does speak a lot at night. Yes, he does. We're quieted at night.
Our spirit is quieted. We are hushed. So he can really get something through to you. Because when you're out there in the day, you're working, you're at the store, you're cooking, you got the dogs, you got the cats, you got the kids, you got the husband.
You got all this circling around. And God is like, hey, hey daughter. Hello. So he's like, you know what?
She is kind of busy. Because God isn't. He's a gentleman. That's right.
Unless it's just something that's catastrophic. Hey, I need you to start praying. You kids about to have a car wreck. He'll be like, let me just tell her tonight.
Let me just, hey daughter, I know it's three o'clock in the morning. But I got something to say. I need you to take up your tablet. I need you to write this down because this is what I'm going to need you to do.
So that's why we've really got to listen and understand that he's giving you wisdom. But you got to apply it. You got to take it in. You got to remember what he says and follow the recipe.
Amen. She spot on. And you know, with me, I get the most downloads between three and five o'clock in the morning. Always.
That is when I get teaching and downloads. So to sum this up, please, please listen. The gift of the word of wisdom is also the revealing of prophetic future. It is a spoken hidden truth of what is not known.
It's to guide you. It's to navigate you and to confirm. It is a supernatural perspective to a certain, to a certain, the divine means for accomplishing God's will in any given situation. So whatever you're going through, if you seek him, he will guide you through it.
And you want to be in his will not in his way. Exactly. We get in his way all the time. You want to be in his will.
It's imperative. Sorry. No, don't be sorry. I love it.
And is a divine, divinely given power to appropriate spiritual intuition in problem solving. God wants to know your problems. Anyone's to help you through them. You don't go catch him off guard.
And don't think that you're going to fix it on your own. Because you're probably going to mess it up. I know I do. Take it from a fixer.
Let him help you. This gift involves having a sense of divine direction. Being led, here we go again by the Holy Spirit to act appropriately in a given set of circumstances and rightly applying knowledge. The gift of wisdom is the wisdom of God.
It's a supernatural impartation of facts. It's not natural. You can't earn it. You can't earn it saints.
Hear me on that. You can't earn it. It is received from God through prayer. And you can look up Ephesians 117 on that.
The gift of the word of wisdom works interactively with the other two revelation gifts of knowledge and discernment. Let me go to Ephesians 117 really, really quick. Because I'm going to read that again. The gift of wisdom is the wisdom of God.
It is the supernatural impartation of facts. It is not natural. You can't earn it. It is received from God through prayer.
Ephesians 117, Amplified Version says, I always pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation that gives you a deep and personal and intimate insight into the true knowledge of Him. Him is capital. So that means they're talking about God. Amen.
For we know the Father through the Son. Amen. I can just throw the phone. We love it.
We hope today, I want to pray for you today, Father God, I thank you, that you will alert your people with, and in part, words, revelation, confirmation that your people will be drawn into a place into your presence to receive everything they need in the hour they needed to help them navigate through anything that may be standing right in front of them. Lord God, give them the power to speak to their mountains, be removed. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
God, I implore you and encourage you today. Seek and you shall find knock and it shall be opened unto you. Your next is going to be greater than what you're coming out of. We just thank you for joining us as we end this episode.
