As we learned two weeks ago about mysteries, the saying, "The Lord works in mysterious ways"
(implying we been stolen from us through lack of knowledge because we didn't know we were
supposed to know God's ways and will.
Well, we might wonder WHY He made the zebra or the giraffe with such a long neck, but those things
don't really affect our daily lives.
So here is a short and sweet answer to the "how can we know" question:
Step One to walking in supernatural wisdom is to realize that it is always God's will for us to
understand His ways.
Step Two to walking in supernatural wisdom is to be spirit-filled and speaking in "tongues" (just
another word for a language that is unknown to you).
Step Three to walking in supernatural wisdom is having interpretation, revelation and manifestation
of our prayers coming to pass in our lives.
A more in-depth article on this topic is posted on the Home page.
Here are a couple of examples to show you how the Spirit of God works - and that He has a sense of
humor.
When my husband began remodeling this house, he asked God for wisdom in everything he worked
on. He was under the house putting in the ductwork for the central air/heating unit and he had some
spots that were a tight fit. He was crawling forward and had the thought, "I ought to take the bucket of
screws along with me" but then thought, "Nah, I can get it later."
He was trying to fit two pieces of duct together and having a tough time of it. Finally, they fit smoothly
and he reached back for the screws - and couldn't reach them. He had to let go of the two pieces,
they sagged and came apart - and it took him over an hour to fit them together again. Had he
obeyed that prompting, he would have been finished sooner and with much less frustration!
I'd lost a small bag of makeup products I'd just purchased in town. I couldn't find it anywhere. I
searched the vehicle, my closet, my bathroom, everywhere I could think. I had the thought, "It's under
the front seat of the car" but blew it off to keep searching inside the house. Finally, for the 3rd time, I
went out and check the car - guess what? The bag was under the front seat of the car. Duh.
So while we know it is God's will for us to walk in wisdom and know mysteries, and we pray in our
prayer language, praying God's perfect will for our lives - as you can see, we can override the
knowledge God tries to bring us!
