Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation

2 November 2016

Opening Prayer/Worship                                        

Hymn: Immortal, invisible, God only wise

Theme: Spirit Divine

Topic: Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation

Reading: Daniel 7:1-3, 15-18
Introduction
Insight is a word that could be easily used to describe today’s topic.  Our decisions should be based, as much as possible, on God’s plans and purpose as well as an understanding and awareness of the consequences.  That we are Christians does not mean that we can think or act in a mindless fashion.  On the contrary, our thoughts and actions should be based on the word of God, through Scripture, hymns and other such spiritual resources.  We should ensure that our desires are in line with the Spirit of Christ that dwells within us.  Although this does not come naturally to us, the longer we walk with God, and trust and obey Him, the easier it will be for us to receive guidance and insight from the Holy Spirit.   

Questions/Discussion

1.   Why do we need divine wisdom, understanding and revelation?  1 Samuel 30:3-8; Psalm 119:1-21; James 4:13-17.  
2.   What are the lessons for us in Luke 6:20-31 regarding the God of abundance?  What should be our attitude towards His mercies?  Luke 6:20-31.
3.   How do we receive divine wisdom, understanding and revelation?  Discuss some of the challenges to having insight and how to overcome them.  Psalm 119:92-106; Psalm 149:1-9; Hebrews 3:7-19.
Intercession/Worship

Conclusion
The longer we walk with God, and trust and obey Him, the easier it will be for us to receive guidance and insight from the Holy Spirit.

Closing Prayer (Collect for All Saints’ Day)
Almighty God, whose people are knit together in one holy Church, the mystical Body of your Son, grant us grace to follow your blessed saints in lives of faith and commitment, and to know the inexpressible joys you have prepared for those who love you; through your Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.  Amen.
