6 To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. - Proverbs 1:6.
What is the dark saying of the wise. Paul put it like this:
4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: - 1 Corinthians 2:4-7.
You cannot teach wisdom - wisdom of the wise is the person of Christ - "the mystery of Christ in you the hope of glory." We speak from a different standpoint than what we call the wise of the world, and even religious leaders (prince's of this world) if they do not see Christ' as all, then all of it is all for nothing.
Footnote: "them that are perfect" are the maturing the saints that is coming to understand Christ' in his fullness and completion for salvation and the understanding of knowledge.
We should notice the portion of scripture that says "our glory"
HUMMMM - I kind of like the OP - some parts are good - like the verses - they are good. I also very much like "wisdom of the wise is the person of Christ" -- yet so much is like gobbledy goop.
If wisdom is the person of Christ, and Christ is the living Word of God, and the Holy Spirit does not speak on His own but as He hears He speaks, and since the Holy speaks words and those words are life to us, then it is not so hard to understand!! You simply ask our Lord Jesus Christ and His Holy Spirit speaks words of wisdom (words of our Lord Jesus Christ) to our spirit.
He speaks "WORDS" through His Holy Spirit to our spirit! So finding wisdom is simply seeking the Lord and listening to what He says!!!!
Can you teach that? Yeah - I just did. But if that is not clear as it should be, you just ask Jesus Christ a question and listen in your spirit for words that come from His Holy Spirit. It is easy to hear from Him, though it is often hard to believe it. It can also be rather difficult to figure out what He is up to, because His thoughts are not your thoughts. Still, He is Wisdom, so you just seek Him and listen! It is not hard, but maybe hard to believe, and the Holy Spirit is not the only spirit. So practice is important to make it easier to hear Him and to discern what is going on.
Heb 5:14 But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil.
Now what happens when you seek Him and listen?
You hear Him - that's what. So what is that stuff Paul said?
"And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:"
Paul was not preaching man's words - since Paul was also saying to seek the Lord and listen to Him. So then Paul was preaching the Spirit and giving a demonstration of the Spirit - That demonstration is the words the Holy Spirit was saying to him. That was not different from what king Solomon was doing when he wrote Proverbs!!!
So "To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. - Proverbs 1:6. - was a demonstration of the Spirit!!!!
Yet someone is probably wondering where the power of the Spirit was with king Solomon?
Did not king Solomon become a great and powerful king, thanks to the wisdom God gave him? So the words God give you have power in many ways. --- And you are not going to understand until you have spent time listening to Him. He might just a bit of wisdom like:
Prov 2: 1-5 My son, if you will receive my words And treasure my commandments within you, Make your ear attentive to wisdom,
Incline your heart to understanding; For if you cry for discernment,
[fn]Lift your voice for understanding; If you seek her as silver
And search for her as for hidden treasures; Then
you will discern the fear of the LORD
And
discover t
he knowledge of God.
So seeking wisdom will give you the power to "discover the knowledge of God"
That is the power you are looking for - the power to discover the knowledge of God!!!!!
He is interesting to know. He has told me so many things. Everyday called "Today" He talks to me and tells me things, so I have come to know Him personally. We talk. Can I teach that? Again, I just did - so it's come complicated, but who will seek Him and listen to Him, really listen to Him.
I can teach you things He told me, things like:
WHAT TEACHER DOESN’T PUT A BOOK IN FRONT OF HIS STUDENTS TODAY; YET NOT JUST A BOOK BUT OVERHEAD TRANSPARENCIES, VISUALS, AND OTHER MATERIAL? FOR I TELL YOU TRULY, IF THEY ARE NOT LISTENING TO ME THEY ARE NOT MY PUPIL, THEY ARE NOT MY STUDENT; I TELL YOU TRULY, THEY ARE NOT MY DISCIPLE UNLESS THEY ARE HEARING FROM ME. SO DON’T TELL THEM TO READ THE BOOK, THEM TO TAKE THE CLASS!”
Or I can relate a parable He gave me, like:
The Mountian of God:
Once upon a time there was an ant carrying a big load on his shoulders. He was looking up at the very large hill in which he was going to climb with his big load. At the same time there was a little boy looking down on that very same small ant hill and the little boy decide to just jump right on top of it for fun.
What is your view of heaven?
Mat 19:14 But Jesus said, “Let the children alone, and do not hinder them from coming to Me; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.
Or perhaps a testimony - He had me spend five years in a Christians healing ministry where I would seek words from the Lord and do what He told me, and He would often do miracles while I just listened and did what I heard.
Mark 16:20 And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them, and confirmed the word by the signs that followed.
So I could give you hundreds of testimonies, but they all happened by listening to the words He was speaking though His Spirit to my spirit and Him then confirming the words He was saying by the signs that He personally worked to confirm what He was saying - but I will tell you I could never really know what He was up to even while I was listening and following His instructions. Still power was there according to His desire and purpose. So again He is Wisdom, and we just need to seek Him and listen. - Is that what the OP was saying??
