TO THE BIBLE: 1 Corinthians 2:12-13
“Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.”
LET’S TALK
One of the things the Holy Spirit came to help you with is discovering your heritage in Christ Jesus. And to enjoy these hidden treasures as He unveils them to you, you’re expected to speak them. Just as it says in 1 Corinthians 2:6, “…we speak wisdom….” Notice it doesn’t say we speak about wisdom. Speaking wisdom is speaking the Word of God.
For example, the Word says you’re a partaker of the divine nature (2 Peter 1:4); that’s the wisdom of God. Therefore, when you, on the basis of that scripture, declare, “I’m an associate of the God-kind; a partaker of His grace and glory, the expression of His righteousness,” you’re speaking wisdom. When you declare, “All my needs are supplied according to God’s riches in glory by Christ Jesus,” in spite of the gloom and doom in the world today, you’re speaking the wisdom of God.
When you say, “I’ve got the life of God in me; I live in divine health twenty-four hours a day,” in spite of the pain or discomfort you may be feeling in your body, you’re speaking the wisdom of God. As you make it a practice to always speak God’s wisdom, you’ll be misunderstood by many, especially those who are ruled by the senses, but don’t let that dissuade you. Declare what the Word says concerning you, irrespective of the situation. Speak the wisdom of God always, and your life will glorify God.

Speak
The wisdom of God is in my heart and in my mouth today and as I speak, I dissolve doubts; I explain hard sentences in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
