Proverbs 7:1-5 My son, keep my words,
And treasure my commands within you.2 Keep my commands and live,
And my law as the apple of your eye.3 Bind them on your fingers;
Write them on the tablet of your heart.4 Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,”
And call understanding your nearest kin,5 That they may keep you from the immoral woman,
From the seductress who flatters with her words.
2 women. 2 houses. 2 systems.
(Because this passage refers to Wisdom/Holy Spirit as the feminine gender we will do the same in our notes.)
We have to start treating Wisdom as a person. As if it were your sister going along with you every day through your life. Wisdom is with you 24 hours a day. The Holy Spirit lives in you! You have to develop the ability to hear and recognize Her voice. You must be aware that She is there with you 24 hours a day! How do you do this? Talk to Wisdom as if She was there with you, because She is! Act as if it were your sister! That is what this passage is explaining. She knows everything. She knows the future as well as the past. There’s no question Wisdom doesn’t have an answer to! There’s no problem that She can’t solve. There are no limits to Her. She is your BEST FRIEND. She wants you to develop your walk with Her to the degree that you get instant answers from Her for immediate problems. Simply turn and ask Her and She answers. Most people don’t think that is available because they’ve tried it at different times and got nothing. But it does work, it is available. When you become aware of Her presence, it creates a recognition of Her leadings and an ability to hear Her voice. It’s not that Wisdom isn’t responding to your questions, the problem is you aren’t hearing. She doesn’t speak to your natural ear. It’s an internal, spiritual “ear” that She speaks to. That part of you has to be developed.
The natural human mind is an enemy of God. Because it works against the Spirit. She might tell you something that seems outlandish! An example of this, is when She told Jesus to make mud and put it on the blind man’s eyes? Why? That’s none of your business! Do what She said and you get the results! To the human mind the mud didn’t make sense, but it brought forth the reward. You’re dealing with someone who is smarter than you! She’s operating in a realm of physics that you’re not a part of!
Proverbs 7:10-12
10 And there a woman met him,
With the attire of a harlot, and a crafty heart.11 She was loud and rebellious,
Her feet would not stay at home.12 At times she was outside, at times in the open square,
Lurking at every corner.
You get up every morning, and you are faced with these two women. You get to choose which you will follow after that day. The difference between the two, is that the harlot woman doesn’t stay in her house. She comes out hunting you. But the Holy spirit, is not that way! She doesn’t come out and offer Herself to you. You have to pursue Her. The harlot woman is at every corner! She will appeal to every unsanctified part of your life. If she can take your time, she can take your life! Your purpose! Choose to go to Wisdom every morning! Daily take up your cross! That’s Her only requirement. Do what is necessary to go into Wisdom’s house! Take away the excuses! You don’t have to operate in human sufficiency! Don’t do life without God’s sufficiency. Anyone can do this! Every morning you are presented with a choice! The harlot woman is pursuing you. But, are you pursuing wisdom?
The Holy spirit is the only One of the Godhead on earth. And She lives in you.
She’s your best friend! There is no one that cares about you more and wants to help you more than Her. She has seen you at your best, and She’s seen you at your worst. You can’t shock Her! She has seen every human failure ever! She will not walk away from you, as long as you’ll walk toward Her. Start that relationship with Her! Every morning get up and go to Wisdom’s door! Whatever you need is found inside Wisdom’s house! When you give into the harlot woman, like Samson did, you lose God’s sufficiency.
Choose Wisdom! Every single day! For without Him, you can do nothing!
