WISDOM IS GAINED WHEN WE REVERENCE
GOD
Wisdom CRIES OUT:Proverbs 1:22How long will you who are simple love yoursimple ways? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge?23
Repent at my rebuke! Then I will pour out my thoughts to you, I will make known to you my teachings.
2:2turn your ear to wisdom and apply your heart to understanding3
indeed, if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding,4
and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure,5then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.6
For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge andunderstanding.7
He holds success in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is
blameless,
8for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones.9
Then you will understand what is right and just and fairevery good path.10
For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.11
Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you.

HOW DO WE HEARFROM GOD?Through His Word (LOGOS= written)- Jesus IS the Word made
flesh! We must start to become disciples of HIS Word.
Hebrews 1:1-5Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our
fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son,
whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.
He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he
upholds the universe by the word of his power.
Hebrews 4:12For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged
sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and
discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
2 Timothy 3:16-17All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching,
for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may
be competent, equipped for every good work.

Elijah was Running for his life, feeling like a failure, a cowardand fruitless, wanting to just die. An angel sends him to Horeb(Mt. Sinai)Back to the Beginning!
He tried to hide in a cave but was told to come out and stand ONthe daunting mountain...he obeyed, and waited...
The Lord speaks to Elijah, not in the wind nor the earthquake
nor the fire, but in a still, small voice
Blustering winds, devastating earthquake and destructive fires,but He was spared, and heard a quite voice afterwards, wasrecommissioned and followed the Word of the Lord.

HOW DO WE HEARFROM GOD?
Through His Felowship- through an intimate relationship with
Him but also through His Body of Believers
Ephesians 4:15-16"But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into Him in all
things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined
together and compacted by that which every joint supplies, according to the
effectual working in the measure of every part, makes increase of the body for
the edifying of itself in love."
1 Cor 14:26"How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath apsalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all
things be done unto edifying."
James 5:16"Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye maybe healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."
Countless scriptures speak of the unity of the Body of Believers and the impact that
has on its growth, corporately and thereby individually. Growth takes place as we
learn from each other & practicing those things we are growing in with each other

HOW DO WE HEARFROM GOD?
Through His Word(RHEMA=spoken, utterance, timely, specific)-usually throughPrayeras the Holy Spirit comes close, illuminates
Matthew 4:4Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word [rhema] that
proceeds out of the mouth of God.
John 6:63The words [rhema] that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.
Through daily reading of God's Word, which is referred to as the "logos," (logos),Christians will have knowledge of God and know the truth of what is written.
In addition to that, God wants to speak to His people and provide insight beyond
human understanding. With the help of the Holy Spirit, portions of Scripture that
were once words on a page will become rhema. They will have great significance
and offer supernatural guidance, comfort, answers and assurances.

WorshipHaving received such a charge, he put them into the inner prisonand fastened their feet in the stocks. But at midnight Paul andSilas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners
were listening to them. (Acts 16:24-25)Now I say that Jesus Christ has become a servant to thecircumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises madeto the fathers, and that the Gentiles might glorify God for Hismercy, as it is written: "For this reason I will confess to You
among the Gentiles, And sing to Your name." (quoted prophesyreferring to Jesus, Romans 15:8-9)
What is the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit, and I willalso pray with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and Iwill also sing with the understanding. (I Corinthians 14:15)
