A Lesson in Worldly & Godly Wisdom

The Holy Spirit always knows what the Father wants and gives glory to the Son, Jesus, in all He is asked to do by the Father & Son. It is no accident that we are on a collision course with Jesus coming back. At times I feel it is just around the next corner.

You have asked for God to reveal Himself more fully, to have all that Jesus has promised to give, and to finally have ‘that later day revival’ with miracles, healings and heavenly signs that will amaze us all and increase our faith. Well, I can testify to all of you that it is within your reach—you only have to make one simple yet life changing response.

I am sure you know the story about Jesus talking about God pruning our lives—just like a farmer prunes his grapevines or fruit trees. Jesus said trees and vines are pruned so they can produce more fruit—this is worldly wisdom. Likewise, God prunes our lives so we can produce the Fruit of the Spirit and reach humanity with the Gospel of Christ—Godly wisdom. We will not like it, Jesus said, but if we will accept the pruning by the Holy Spirit, and allow God to get rid of all the branches and vines in our lives that do not produce God’s fruit (these are parts of our lives that produce fruit but it is not God’s fruit) then we will produce fruit, oil, wine that will last forever and give only God the glory (Gospel of John chapter 15).

The Holy Spirit’s main purpose is to “convict the world of sin, of righteousness, and judgment” (Gospel of John 16:8-9). Why, so we can serve God, have favor with God, and proclaim the Gospel of Christ while bringing honor to Christ in all we do. We must find forgiveness, be clothed with righteousness, and have the judgement of the Holy Spirit keeping us safe from all the evil Satan will be throwing at us. It is the job of the Holy Spirit to work punishment and judgement on all the works of evil—the works of the devil.

We are on the edge of the moving of the Holy Spirit in ways never experienced by the human race. The complete fulfillment of all the words of Christ and the placing of everything under His feet. If you can ‘make it’ to the end, Jesus said you will be saved. The question is, “Are you ready to be saved; can you make it to the end?” I like the question, ‘Do you have what it takes to see Jesus return in all His glory, riding upon a horse, coming in the clouds with a Shout!’?

If you honestly answered, “I am not sure I am ready.” Then what God is now planning and asking of His church to do is right in front of you—God is indeed knocking on the door of your heart, mind, soul and strength. It is time to be pruned by the Holy Spirit!
