THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM IN MAN
But there's a spirit in man; and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
NIV translation; But it is the spirit in a person, the breath of the Almighty, that gives them understanding.
Revisit the π Genesis (2:27). Then God breathed into man's nostrils, and man became a living being. The breath of God is the one that keeps us alive. When God removes it, we become corpses.
Now, there's the Holy Spirit (Spirit, note capital S) that God promised to send to believers, and he did on the day of pentecost (Acts 2:1-4).
He promised again to pour out his Spirit upon all flesh in the last days (Joel 2:28), which is evidenced by young men and women prophesying and seeing visions, and old men dreaming dreams. Prophesy, in this case, means proclaiming the message of God, not standing in the office of a prophet. Indeed, we are in the last days. π how things are unfolding. The hidden things of the spirit realm are exposed through prophecy.
Men speak openly of summoning demons (high powers) π. In contrast, the Spirit of God is working mightily among his people to expose what is false and to confirm what is true π
Intercessors have raised the prayer altar. They know about hidden mysteries that nobody knew about. This helps to unravel difficult situations whereby it is impossible to get the answers naturally.
There was a man called Stephen who was full of faith and of the Holy Spirit. He did great wonders and miraculous signs among the people as he served them. π Acts 6:10 But they could not stand up against the wisdom the Spirit gave him as he spoke (Mme ba ne ba sena nonofo ya go emelana le botlhale le Mowa o a buwang ka one) π That's the Spirit of God who gives wisdom.
When those who were sitting in the council looked intently at Stephen, they saw that his face was like the face of an angel (Acts 6:15). Moses also had the skin of his face shining with the glory of God because the Spirit of God was upon him.
I can attest to the Spirit's power to give man understanding, especially because the Spirit operates in man through gifts. Stephen had the gift of wisdom, which no man could refute.
