Sermon Tone Analysis

We're teaching on t gifts of t H.S. Last weak we were on t Word of Wisdom.

I *didn't finish* w~/ it as of yet, So that's were we're going to pick up.

A *Word of Wisdom* is a *supernatural revelation* of t purpose of God.

 

       *I.*

*1COR 12:1*

 

                 *A.*

As we said before t *Word of Wisdom *is only a *FRAGMENTED part of God's wisdom.*

*1.

This gift,* as well as all t others, is *given to every man  as t Spirit wills.*

*a.*

*1COR 12:11*

 

                 *B.*

We said last time that in t *Word of Knowledge,* it *deals w~/ t  past_or present.

Something* that *already happened or* something that is *happening.

*

                 *            1.*

T *Word of Wisdom* always *deals w~/ t Future.*

*a.

For example,* something that is *going to happen* to someone if they continue doing a certain thing *or* it can also be used to *tell someone how to get out of a problem *that is already *in existence.*

*       II.

*Sometimes people get this gift of t *Word of Wisdom confused w~/  simple wisdom.*

*A.

(JOS 1:8) *Says, "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success."

(KJV)

 

                             *1.*

Another translation says, "Thou shall make thyself prosperous *& thou shalt be able to deal wisely in t affairs of life."

*

 

                                         *a.*

There is a *wisdom* that is *gained thru t knowledge of  God's Word.

*

 

                                                     *i.*

But that *not a supernatural manifestation*.

*2.*

*Many think Solomon's wisdom* was a *manifestation of t Word  of Wisdom, but it wasn't.

*

 

                                         *a.*

*Solomon's wisdom* was *given* to him *by God.

*

 

                                         *b.*

*JAMES 1:5*

 

                                                     *i.*

*God* has *promised *that *all *of us can have *this  type of wisdom daily.*

It's our's *as often as we need it or want it.

*

 

 

                                                     *ii.

*But it's *not t super natural manifestation of t Word of Wisdom,* which *only* comes *as t Spirit wills.

*

 

 

       *II.

*T *Word of Wisdom,* *like* t *Word of Knowledge, *can come in *many  forms.

*

                 *A.*

It can be given by an *audible voice*, it can come thru a *vision, *it can be given in a *dream,* it can come thru a *prophesy* *or* an *interpretation of tongues,* we've seen it come thru an *angel_*to Philip, it can *also* come *thru someone teaching or preaching t Word.

* (*unaware*)

 

                             *1.

*Look at *ACTS 11:28‑30*

 

                                         *a.*

*Agabus* *prophesied* that *a drought* was coming, & t *people believed* *him because* he was *a man of* *integrity* & he had a proven ministry.

*i.*

You *can't believe everything *that everyone says.

*ii.*

You have to *judge things weather they are in  line w~/ God's Word or not.*

*                                                                 1.

(1CO 14:29)* Says, "Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge."

(KJV)

 

                                                     *iii.*

You have to *judge t thing, t action, not t  person.*

*Iv.*

*You* *don't sent* your *children* to a *satanic  church*, *Why?* *Because* you've *judged that to be wrong.*

*v.*

*Sin is sin,* *just call it what it is,* *WRONG.*

*B.*

There are times that a *Word of Knowledge can be conditional.*

*1.*

*2KINGS 20:1‑5*

 

*                                         a.

God told Isaiah to tell Hezekiah,* that he was *going to die & *for him to *set his house in order.

*

 

                             *            b.*

*Isaiah did,* but *before he could leave* t* *court yard, *Hezekiah repented & God told Isaiah to go* back & tell him that *I'll give  him 15 more years.

*

 

                                                     *i.*

He *also gave him another Word of Wisdom*, Something that was God's plan for *Hezekiah.*

*III.*

Look at *ACTS 21:10‑11*

 

                 *A.*

*Notice* that there was *something* that was *revealed.*

*1.*

*When *any *revelation comes*, it is *always* a *Word of Wisdom, *

*a Word of Knowledge, or Discerning of spirits.

*

 

                                         *a.*

There are *no other gifts of revelation* listed in t Bible.

*2.* *This manifestation* of* *a gift of t Spirit is *not a word of *

*Knowledge, because* it is *looking* to t *future.

*

 

                                         *a.*

This is *not t discerning of spirits,* we *don't see* any

*spirits* involved.

*b.*

*Because* it* talks* *about* t *future* it has it be t *Word *

*of Wisdom.*

*B.* We'll *end *w~/ this last scripture.

*ACTS 27:9‑11._*

*1.

*But *after* they *set sail *they *hit heavy storms.

*

 

 

                             *2.*

*V 20‑24*

 

 

                                         *a.*

This again was a *Word of Wisdom* that *came to Paul  thru an angel.

*

 

 

                                         *b.*

It was *giving God's purpose &* it was *revealing a  future event.*

(Did it to protect)
