There are four pillars in the Wisdom of God:
1. Knowledge of God
2. The Fear of the Lord (obedience)
3. Discerning what is valuable
4. God-given Understanding or revelation
Walking in less than wisdom:
1. The Simple
A. They may have some knowledge but may or may not discern what is of value.
B. If those who are simple obey God, they'll usually stay out of trouble.
2. The Foolish
A. They may have some knowledge, but don't care where it comes from as long as they agree with it.
B. They walk by the light of feelings and experiences, not by the Word of God. Note: I read an article that said rich people say what they feel 10% of the time. Poor people say what they feel 85% of the time.
C. They have no idea what has value.
D. In Luke 24:15, we see people reasoning. Without revelation, we rely on reasoning.
1. When Peter declared that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of the living God, he wasn't reasoning. He received revelation.
3. The Scornful
A. They walk against wisdom regardless of signs, wonders, and miracles.
B. Regardless of the light of revelation.
C. They will stand against it to protect what they have and might lose.
Understanding comes by revelation. The enemy comes to steal the Word sown and confuse the revelation we have through reasoning. Reasoning in your heart is warring against revelation. Revelation is received, while reasoning is hard work.
