``Amen? You know what wisdom would do? Wisdom abides with prudence. Wisdom abides with common sense. Common sense says, I can't afford this. Common sense says, there's no way this works in our budget and gives us any freedom, any liberty in case something goes wrong, and you can always count on something going wrong. So why why wisdom says, let's buy the lesser or let's fix what we got and forget about impressing, come on, Tom, Dick, and Harry. Amen? Amen.

You need wisdom to be wise in the choices you make when you're make getting into relationships, when you're choosing who you're gonna hang with. You know why?

My people are destroyed because life is so hard. No. You know what he says? My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge. They don't know. Since they don't know, they can't walk in wisdom.

So the person who walks in the wisdom of God experiences, watch this, God's presence, God's power, God's blessing, and God's favor. [01:03:38] (27 seconds)  #WisdomBringsFavor Download clip

So you can't live the life that you're meant to live or go where you're meant to go in life or do the things that god has called you to do in life without wisdom, the wisdom of god. Because, see, without the wisdom of god, you'll just keep messing your life up and it'll keep you from being the person god wants you to be. It'll keep you from enjoying the life that god wants you to enjoy and it'll keep you from accomplishing all the wonderful things that you could have accomplished if you did just walked in more wisdom. Amen? Amen. [01:14:16] (37 seconds)  #WisdomForCalling Download clip

That way, we can live the life that he has paid the price for us to live. Jesus said, I've come that you might have life, have it more abundantly. How come I'm not living that life? Well, are you growing in wisdom and in maturity? Are you growing in those things? If you're not growing in those things, you can't sit there and complain because you're not enjoying the abundant life. [01:08:13] (23 seconds)  #GrowInWisdom Download clip

Maybe you're not getting it. That don't work. You're using man's wisdom. You ain't gonna talk to me like that, bless God. You can bless God in that if you want, but he ain't gonna bless you while you're doing it. Amen. You know when he's gonna bless you? When you stop doing it your way and start doing it his way. I said, god, how can I turn our marriage around? Remember, I've told you this. He said, be kind to your wife. [01:11:09] (28 seconds)  #DoHisWayBeKind Download clip

And so let's get going today. And the first thing I want you to realize about the wisdom of god is is that there's only two ways to walk in this life. There's only two ways. There's not three. There's not four. There's two, and that's wisely or unwisely. And throughout the scriptures, god admonishes us. He encourages us, challenges us, possibly even commands us if you would. I know as his as our father, he it's certainly a great desire in his heart that we choose because you do have to choose to live wisely. [00:57:25] (38 seconds)  #ChooseWisely Download clip

Having a nasty attitude, a negative attitude about it is not gonna turn it around. You need to have faith. Faith is an attitude. So in that moment when things aren't going right, I choose to have a faith filled attitude that says, we will overcome this. We will be victorious over this. God will meet our needs in this thing. Amen? [01:27:39] (22 seconds)  #FaithFilledAttitude Download clip
