Supernatural Wisdom

The Lord has revealed to me that the wisest people on the planet are the ones who are deeply involved with the supernatural. As I pondered why that was, it dawned on me that it was because they have great knowledge of two entirely different worlds as opposed to just one. There is the temporal world, wherein we reside, that we see, feel, smell, hear, and taste; then there is the spiritual realm which is full of subtilty and discreetness. It is a powerful, wise, invisible realm that is woven into the fabric of our own world. Since we are partially spirit, we are fully capable of associating with both domains.

As humans, we tend to judge everything by what we see. That is a very foolish thing to do because looks can be very deceiving. The well-known cliché, "Don't judge a book by its cover," is sadly overlooked and ignored.

Before we go any further, let me explain the concept of "judging," so we are all on the same page. By definition, judgment is both "the act of forming an opinion or conclusion about" and "the act of determining the correctness of a matter." People most often automatically associate judgment with wrongful judgment, then arrive at the conclusion that it is wrong to judge people. This is not true. It is very necessary to judge people, but only in a rightful manner.

Judgment, at least by humans, should never be quick and severe. We need to know all the facts before we can rightfully judge. People so often wrongfully judge by what they see, and not by what they know, like they should. It's necessary to be aware of the hidden motives of others, which isn't always so evident. If you're passing judgment on a situation between two individuals, you cannot show favoritism towards an individual. You cannot pass an accurate judgment until you hear both sides of the story individually, then in presence of each other. Your emotions should be completely separate from theirs, as far as favoritism goes. Do NOT allow yourself to get emotionally involved with them and their problems! Judgments should be made solely out of wisdom, logic, and understanding. If you can't help but to get emotionally involved to the point where you show favoritism, then you are in no place to judge. Oh yes; and by the way, remember that you will be judged the exact same way that you choose to judge, so be careful.

The wisest people on merely the temporal earth, who aren't necessarily involved with the supernatural, are those involved in professions of law. These people, however, can become so corrupt and callous. They can use their wisdom for selfish gain and biased judgments, but this is all besides the point. The point I'm trying to make is that honest and righteous judgment is extremely beneficial to the soul, especially that which comes from God, because He knows our hearts and He knows our thoughts before we think them. Despise not the chastening of the Lord, because it is for your good. He wants nothing but for your good. His will is that none shall perish, but that all may inherit eternal life. It is a good idea to live a good life so that God may be FOR you. If God be for you, who shall be against you?

The spirit world has much more of an extraordinary amount of wisdom and knowledge than humans do. It also has much more insight on things and a much better memory than we do. Since it is invisible and remains quiet for the most part, it can be in places where we think we are alone, doing things in secret. The spirit world has a great advantage over us. Depending on what force it is, good or evil, it can use what it knows about us either for our good or to blackmail us - and we would have no control over it. The people who are involved with the supernatural can gain insight about many things from these spirits, whether personally or about others. It's a powerful realm - one we must be very careful with.

The only spirit that has all insight, all wisdom, and all power is God Himself. There is not once place where God isn't, no thing He doesn't know, and there is no dominion and power that is above Him. It is written that both the beginning of wisdom and of knowledge is the fear of the Lord. That being said, there is an open door in which we can walk through to access anything we'd want to know. However, there are conditions that we must follow.

I want to let you in on a little secret. We, as humans, produce our own atmosphere. Spirits are conducive to the environment we create, depending on what their nature is. The power of life and death is in tongue. In other words, whatever words we speak into the atmosphere is what we create. (This is also true with the kinds of music we listen to.) We are formed in the image of God. When God created, He spoke words into the atmosphere and things happened. Therefore, humans have the ability do the same thing. In the eyes of the spirit world, humans are vessels in which they can flow through. What kind of spirit do you want to reside in you? In order for them to come in, you have to open the door. In order to open that door, you must open your mouth and speak words that come directly from your heart. What is in your heart? What you give yourself to is what you become. You grow like the thing you admire. This is why we must be careful in regards to what we give our heart, time, and effort to.

No matter what religion you may be involved with, if any at all, it is generally and globally believed that we reap what we sow. If you so choose to talk bad about somebody behind their back, don't be surprised when you find out that someone else is talking bad about you behind your back. Because of the decision you made and the hateful words you spoke from your heart, you have invited spirits into your life that are attracted to gossip. Since gossip is not of God, these spirits are not of God either, so you can fully expect to live with the curse of drama in your life as long as you are creating this environment around yourself. If you want to stop all the drama in your life, either stop starting it if you are, or stop it in its tracks. People are subject to erring and making mistakes. You can fully expect them to mess up. Too many people put all their trust in humans and expect them to be perfect. They hold them up to a high standard which they simply are not capable of holding, whether they concur or not. We are imperfect beings.

We may not always directly communicate to spirits (even though we should, but I'll get into this later), but spirits will always directly communicate to us. Those of us who are completely ignorant of the whole spiritual realm are subject to what they have to say. Ignorant people hear the voices of these spirits in the form of thoughts that enter the head. As a result, they can develop paranoias regarding all sorts of things. Negative spirits speak lies in order to cause destruction and disunity. They are wired to prevent souls from worshiping Jesus. All spirits understand that a kingdom which is divided against itself cannot stand. They know that there is power in unity. One human can only do so much damage, but several united together for one cause will be undefeatable.

People get so angry at God for things that He had nothing to do with. Skeptics ask "If God is such a loving god, then why so much pain, sicknesses, and wars going on?" The answer is fairly simple. God does not get involved in the affairs of mankind unless one invites Him in. Like I said before, spirits are attracted to the environments we create. God is a loving god, but if somebody wants Him to intervene, it is necessary that this person create an environment conducive and favorable to the Spirit of God. God is attracted to a pure, honest, and repentant heart. He's attracted to worship. You want God to intervene in your life, create an atmosphere that He wants to dwell in. God simply cannot be in a place that is unholy. It's physically impossible for Him. That's why so many people perished in darkness in the Old Testament, but God, in His infinite grace, came up with a plan.

The Lord did the unthinkable amongst mankind. He robed Himself in a garment of flesh and walked amongst us in the earth. We call Him Jesus. An all-powerful God fused Himself with human frailty that He might touch us. I wonder if He ever knew what it was like to experience the problems that men face firsthand. As a human, God walked in the shoes of every man. Perhaps His mercy increased as did His empathy with mankind. Just a thought. Anyway, at the crucifixion, the shedding of divine blood took place. God had always required a blood sacrifice to wash away sin. Behold, this divine blood is eternal! It can wash away each sin, but humans must make the effort to obtain it. We also need the identity of Christ tagged to our life. He only offers blood to His children. In order to become a child of God, one must make the necessary sacrifices.

Since Jesus gave His life for you, you must give your life for Him. Of course this is not a suicide attempt, but rather a decision to live your life solely for His purpose. God does not desire blood sacrifices anymore, nor in burnt offerings. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart He will not despise. You must repent, which is to acknowledge your sins before God and to make a promise to Him to attempt to not sin anymore. Repentance echoes the crucifixion of Jesus. You are essentially crucifying your old ways of living. Then you must be baptized, which is full immersion, in Jesus' name. We are buried with Him in baptism. This applies the name of Jesus to your life that He may call you His son. This is where the spirit of adoption comes in. We take on the identity and character of Christ. Then we must be filled with the Spirit of God, the Holy Ghost. That mimics the resurrection of Christ. It is life being put into the body. May I add that the Holy Ghost is the greatest source of power that ever was, is, and is to come? You want that power? The cost is your life. I will personally recommend to you that it's totally worth it!

After you go through that process, you can have much access to the good side of the spirit world. The Holy Ghost, when it comes to dwell inside of you, will cause you to speak in other tongues. Though you may speak in an actual human language that is unknown to you, but known to a foreigner, you will also be equipped with the tongues of angels. You will then possess the language of both worlds. When you pray in the tongues of angels, God alone understands you. You are speaking mysteries. It's a very powerful language to pray in when one doesn't know what to pray for. God does nothing but in answer to prayer. Speaking in tongues is your spirit praying and interceding.

By the way, when it comes to other tongues needing interpretation, this is speaking of something a very similar, yet different gift. I possess both the gift of praying with other tongues wherewith I was filled with the Holy Ghost, and also the gift of "divers" tongues which is for church edification and requires interpretation. Let me explain the divers tongues. When the Spirit of the Lord wishes to use divers tongues to speak to the church, He will pick out two or three people to speak in an unknown tongue, and one to interpret. Here is how it generally works. Usually, the Spirit of God will move into a service and the people will begin to worship from their hearts. A phenomenon then occurs when the church suddenly becomes quiet. People just feel it in the atmosphere to quiet themselves because God is about to speak. When God uses me to give a message tongues, He will let me know beforehand. When it comes almost time for Him to speak through me, He will place this burden within my stomach. It's kind of difficult to explain. If anyone was ever anxious, they will get a very similar feeling in the pit of their stomach. That's the only way I can describe it. My heart starts to beat faster because I know the curtains will soon open, and I will be on. It's basically an intense urge to speak in tongues very loudly that is very difficult to hold in. Sometimes, it just comes out of me without warning. Generally, if I am feeling that urge, I must wait for that hush that sweeps across the audience. It may not come. If it doesn't, I just have to hold it in and let it fade away. That only happened to me once, because the speaker got up and starting speaking. I have to be obedient to him, but several minutes later, the feeling ended up coming back as people began to worship again. I then was able to release it.

It is really up to the person giving the message in tongues to determine how long they want to give it for. Keep in mind that these messages need to be "interpreted" as opposed to "translated." Translation is word for word. Interpretation is more the way a certain individual gets the gist and meaning of what someone means. ASL signers don't sign word for word when interpreting someone's speech, but they communicate to the deaf or hard-of-hearing person the general idea of what's being said. That's what interpreting tongues is like.

So two or three people speak a message in tongues after one another, then the last person interprets in the audience's native language so they can understand. There are members in the congregation who also possess the gift of interpretation of tongues who can determine whether or not the interpretation was accurate or not. Anything divine in the hands of man is subject to error and misuse. I believe I possess the gift of interpretation of tongues, but I have not been used in it yet as far as speaking. I can sometimes determine whether or not the interpretation was accurate.

Now let's return from that tangent.

Humans tend to think that they rule the universe, or in other words, proclaim themselves as God. However, just because people don't always believe in God doesn't mean that He doesn't exist. God and the remainder of the spiritual realm is simply fact whether people like it or not. IT'S THERE!!! If you choose to be ignorant of that, you are only hurting yourself. Since the end of the world is near, the spiritual world is ready to take over. You better prepare yourself. As soon as you can, you should decide whether you want to join the good side or the dark side, then become fanatical in your efforts to stick to it. Life really isn't a joke.

People tend to join the dark side because it's easier to become involved with dark spirits - and it takes less time too. Want to know why that is? Satan and evil spirits are wired to destroy, but God and His angels are wired to build. It's much easier to destroy than it is to build. Take a wrecking ball to a building and it's all over in a matter of minutes, almost effortlessly. But what did it take to build that building? It took a LOT of time and effort. I'm not sure how long it takes to build a skyscraper, but I wouldn't be surprised if it took a few years. It's easier to destroy.

A countless amount of people have forsaken Christianity because they simply did not get involved supernaturally. People have a hunger for power and fulfillment. If things in their lives don't fulfill those needs, out it goes. Any struggling Christians out there who just seem to live life powerless, question God's existence, etc. . . . . think again. The devil fights the hardest where He fears the most. There is a huge split between Christianity. One side is based off of all logic and tradition. They have all sorts of knowledge and wisdom, but no relationship with God. They don't possess the love and mercies of God, but rather are quick to judge. The other side of Christianity is based on solely on experience and spirituality. They don't ground themselves in the word, but rather pick and choose scriptures. Their ideas are flighty and non-biblical. O that these sides would marry and maintain the perfect balance!

We must get involved in the supernatural if we wish to succeed, but the Bible is our manual to the spirit world. It's very good, especially since it speaks our language in ways which we can understand. The power of evil is easily attainable, but it is no match for the power of God! It is my mission in life to overcome the forces of evil through Jesus. I have the greatest power in existence residing in me which I can unleash at my will as long as my heart is right with the one who gave it to me. You want it? You can have it. Go and get it!

Wisdom comes from the supernatural. Behold, it cries without; she utters her voice in the streets; she cries in the chief place of concourse (I'm quoting Proverbs 1, by the way), in the openings of the gates: in the city she utters her words, saying, 'How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.'

God goes on to say, "Because I have called, and you refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; but you have ignored all my counsel, and wanted none of my reproof; I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear comes; When your fear comes as desolation, and your destruction comes as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish comes upon you: then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: for that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord: They wanted none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. But whoso hearkens unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil."

We need to seek God while He can still be found. We need to gain this wisdom and insight of the supernatural before it can't be found anymore. The words of your mouth can guide a good spirits path to you, and also deter an evil spirit from you. With the Holy Ghost living in you, you have power over the spirit world. I DARE you to get involved. Time is growing short. You will have to get involved one way or the other anyway, so why waste time? Fear the Lord and gain wisdom and knowledge of these things so that you might not fear that which is to come. It will come regardless of what people believe.

I leave you with this Proverb: "A prudent (wise) man foresees the evil, and hides himself, but the simple pass on, and are punished." (Proverbs 22:3 and 27:12)

Now that I have given all this information to you, what are you going to do with it? God holds us accountable for what we do with what He reveals to us.

Choose wisely.

In Jesus' Name,
Amen.
