• 0:03
  Speaker 1: much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect

• 1:47
  Speaker 2: and pray and get underway. Father, Thank you, Thank you
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: for this day and for your power. Thank you for
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: the wisdom which is Christ in Jesus' name. I pray,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Amen and Amen again. Among the most treasured I don't
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: know qualities, principles, things that we have access to from God.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Wisdom may be my number one. It's a part of
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: my core values. I have wisdom, doub wisdom, integrity, and nurture.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Those are my core values in business and in ministry. Wisdom, integrity,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: and nurture. But wisdom. I ask God regularly, will you
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: give me double the wisdom that you gave to Solomon.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: And when the Bible says that if anyone lacks wisdom,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: let them ask of God, and he will give liberally
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: and not withhold. He's saying that he's going to give
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Jesus Christ as wisdom. This is who we are receiving
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: as wisdom. Can I just say that again, we are
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: receiving Jesus Christ as wisdom. In First Corinthians, Chapter one
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: and verse thirty, we read, but of him are ye
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: in Christ, Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom?
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Did you hear that he is made unto us wisdom?
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Just in the way that God is love, not that
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: he is loving. He is loving, but not that he
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: is loving. But he is love itself. He is the
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: epitome of love. He is the definite article. Whatever love
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: is is God. Whatever God is is Love. And the
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: same is the case where wisdom is concerned. So he
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: is wisdom and righteousness. You want righteousness, that means you
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: want Jesus Christ. You want sanctification that is to be
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: set aside for a holy use. That means you want
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Jesus Christ. If you want to be redeemed Bible says,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: and redemption that means that you want Jesus Christ or
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: lessen in that regard is that in Christ, God gives
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: every believer everything needed in order to be saved and
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: new life in Christ. Not just part of the answer.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: He is not part of the answer. He in fact
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: is the answer. Everything that is salvation, everything that is power,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: and everything that is wisdom, that is Jesus Christ. So
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: what do you do with that? What should I do? Ah,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: thank Jesus today for your wisdom. That's him, your righteousness
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: that's him. Your sanctification and redemption that is Him. And
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: surrender your whole life to Him today. That is our
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: lesson number one. Lessen number two is coming in from
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: First Corinthians, chapter one and verse twenty four, where the
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Bible reads, but unto them which are called both again
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: the people of God and and Greeks Christ, the power
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: of God and the wisdom of God. There it is again,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: whether you are from the ancient people of God who
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: came through the line of Abraham, or those who did
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: not know God at all, who may in the past
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: have thought that the things of God were foolishness. But
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: now you are willing to receive the things of God
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: and receive God into your life. That is the wisdom
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: of God. He is the power of God. Praise God.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: And so Jesus is not only an example to admire.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Remember I said he's not just an answer, he is
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: the answer. Well, he's also not just an example to admire.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Like Joseph was a decent example. Right Abigail in the Bible,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: she was a decent example. Huldah the prophetess a decent example.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Mary the one whom God used to mother, Jesus a
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: wonderful example. This is not what we're talking about. Jesus
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: is more than that, infinitely more than that. He is,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: in fact, the power of God for people who cannot
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: save ourselves. In him, God does not do what humans
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: can do. He does. That's not what's going on there.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: He is doing what no human strength could ever do.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Through Christ. It is the infinite power of God. And
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: so what should we do? Stop leaning on our own
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: strength today? Yep? I know you have plans. I do too.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: You have strategies and tactics, Yes, me too. Strategic plans
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: and initiatives, yep, me too. You have goals and dreams, Yep,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: me too. But God is saying, don't lean on this today.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Trust Jesus to do in you what you cannot do
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: for yourself. Praise God, Praise God, and so our final
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: let's see if we can get that in yes, we
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: can get our final lesson in from verse twenty one
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: of Verse Corinthians, Chapter one, Chapter one, First Corinthians, Verse
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: twenty one. For after that, in Wisdom of God, the
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: world by wisdom. Let me use another translation, New English translation.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: I apologize. I need to switch over because the words
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: can be a little you know what I mean, like,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: can mix us up a little bit. For since in
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: the wisdom of God, the world, by its wisdom, did
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: not know God, God was pleased to save those who
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: believe by the foolishness of preaching. I said that to
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: you several days ago. So God is using something like
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: what we're doing here. This is really teaching. But still
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: God is using human beings who speak, who tell forth
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: the word of God for the purpose of leading people
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: to a closer walk with Him. He's using that to
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: confound the wise. The philosophies of this world inadequate. Holy inadequate.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: H You aging and maturing in your physical stature, your
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: human stature. That is not enough to ascertain and to
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: hold on to God or his power. This insight and
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: understanding only comes by the Holy Spirit and God also
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: uses what the foolishness of preaching human wisdom cannot bring
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: a sinner into a saving knowledge of God. But God
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: has chosen the gospel of Jesus Christ to do what
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: human brilliant cannot do. So what must we do in
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: this regard? Come to God with the humble heart today
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: and believe His word instead of trusting in our own understanding.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: I was so excited earlier to talk about wisdom and
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: my core values and what I ask God for that
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: I neglected to tell you what the most important thing
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: for today and this study is in my mind. It
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: is this. You cannot think your way out of sin.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: What you cannot think your way out of sin. You
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: cannot reason your way, plan your way, strategize your way,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: create a tactical plan your way out of sin. You
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: cannot twelve step your way out of sin. You cannot
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: cessation plan your way out of sin. You need Jesus
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Christ because he alone is not has is the power
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: of God to save you and the wisdom of God
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: to make you whole and holy. Make it a great day, peace.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
