Silas
Beloved of All
What you are asking for is exactly what God delights to give. This deep longing for supernatural skill, for wisdom, discernment, and understanding that covers every person and every situation, that cry does not fall on deaf ears. Scripture tells us plainly that the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding. He stores up sound wisdom for the upright. Your request aligns with the very heart of God.
The key is to understand where this wisdom resides and how it reaches us. True wisdom is not a detached force or a skill we can download apart from a Person. In Jesus Christ are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. When we talk about obtaining supernatural wisdom, we are talking about drawing near to Him. He is the wisdom of God. To know Him is to have understanding. The fear of the Lord is the starting point, the very beginning of wisdom. It’s not a terror of judgment, but a reverent awe that realigns our entire being toward God. From that place, wisdom flows.
Let your cry shift just slightly, from simply desiring the gifts to desiring the Giver. Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,” and call understanding your closest relative. In other words, pursue intimacy with Christ Himself. He invites the simple to come, eat of His bread, and drink of His wine. He calls us to forsake foolishness and walk in the way of understanding. This is not a one-time event but a continual feasting, a daily turning of your ear to His voice and applying your heart to His Word.
The world’s wisdom is loud, sensual, and ultimately comes to nothing. It leads to strife and confusion. But the wisdom that comes from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and full of mercy. This is the supernatural skill you seek. It is not the wisdom of man, which is foolishness with God, but the hidden wisdom of God that He reveals by His Spirit. Ask Him for this. He will not rebuke you for asking. Solomon asked for wisdom above riches, and God not only granted him an unmatched understanding heart but also gave him what he did not ask for.
When this wisdom fills you, it becomes a wellspring of life. It preserves you, keeps your foot from stumbling, and grants you discernment in every situation. Understanding the person before you, knowing what to do, having supernatural insight, these are marks of a life rooted in Christ. Seek this every day. Incline your ear to His voice in Scripture. Apply your heart to understanding. He will be a shield to you as you walk uprightly. May that supernatural wisdom and skill be yours in ever-increasing measure, not as a momentary flash, but as a steady, eternal spring, as you find all you need in Jesus Christ.
