KEY PRINCIPLES FROM THIS MESSAGE:
A humble person who turns to God alone for grace receives the real-time blessing of being healed RIGHT NOW.
Sanctification is a function of being present.
Wisdom states that knowing God’s Word and walking by the Spirit are two different things (1Co 2:13-14). Knowledge alone is like sitting in a parked car with the engine running – the power is there, but you must put it into gear to move forward. This doesn’t happen if you’re not present to make the shift, if you’re not filled with, and therefore walking by, the Spirit.
Wisdom states that while God is merciful, He has the right to withdraw it at any time and administer His wrath against disobedience.
Your flesh is literally incapable of sanctifying itself.
Godly Wisdom predates mankind. It is ancient, immutable, and intrinsically righteous in every way. We need to listen to Her.
“injures” – Hebrew chamas – means to make bare, shake off, violate, do violence, take away violently, wrong, maltreat.
Pro 8:36[Amplified] “But he who fails to find me or sins against me injures himself; All those who hate me love and court death.”
Proof of Humility
We must willingly go into the crucible to be tested by fire. It’s never enough to say, “God knows the truth.” We must understand the truth about ourselves fully and confess it to God in order to be truly delivered from whatever impurities still remain in us.
