Third Warning!
It will take wisdom to overcome evil.
There is a third warning—it will be wisdom operating in our lives that will overcome, identify, and conquer evil. (Romans 8:37)
Wisdom is given to us to identify evil, to know good from evil, to understand what is right and wrong, and to keep oneself from becoming overcome with evil.
If I had the full Armor of God and had confidence in my fight against evil I will still need wisdom to guide me in the battle. I would ask the Lord for the Gift of Wisdom. Only the Gift of Wisdom can guide us to the proper decisions, using the correct knowledge, and finding the discretion to be overcomers.
It takes wisdom to step out of the boat and into the storm. It takes wisdom while carrying the Ark of the Covenant (the promises of God) to step into the waters when the waters are raging in the river. It takes wisdom to see what can happen when the Lord is with you—the waters parting under your feet or the ability to walk through a raging storm.
This is the wisdom King Solomon wrote about in Proverbs and Jesus talked about in the Gospels. If you are to survive while the storm rages around you or while the darkness encompasses the world around you—you need the wisdom of God.
Only a foolish person does not hear the winds of heaven blowing across America and hear the sound of rain in the distance. But where the Lord is working His will, so does the evil one (Satan) begin to blow his winds with dust in the air to cause confusion and darkness.
It is this evil that Satan is causing which we must stand against. Wherever the Lord works, Satan is trying to duplicate his purposes—as Pharaoh’s wise men did to Moses.
Do not be confused, “The Kingdom of God suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.” (Matthew 11:12) Pray that the Gift of Wisdom works in your life. It is time to stir up this gift. It is time to call out for God’s wisdom. The wisdom of God will guide you in the battle against evil. God’s wisdom that is pure will reign over Satan’s wisdom that is full of pride, lies, and confusion.
Pray for the wisdom of God in order to overcome the wisdom of evil.

What would Jesus want me to do?
