Wisdom Part Six

FULL OF MERCY & GOOD FRUITS

James 3:17

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, [and] easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

Wisdom true wisdom produces good fruit; not strife, but pleasantness joy and peace.

Full of Mercy  Gk 1656. eleos,  compassion (human or divine, especially. active):--(+ tender) mercy. lit Active compassion. with the emphasis on active.

It is not just a feeling of compassion it is feeling with action. When someone is in trouble, mercy does something to help relieve the situation, whether the person is to blame or not.

If a person is in trouble because of failure, sin, neglect or whatever you get in and help, you don’t condemn you don’t judge you get in and help.

Now if you are like this you open God’s heart to yourself.

You attract God’s favor, this is a spiritual law.

THIS IS HOW IT WORKS

In the Tabernacle Moses, in the Holiest of all we find the Ark of Covenant, and inside this ark was the following.

Manna:

Which speaks of fellowship, communion.

A copy of the law the 10 commandments:

This speaks of our conscience,  

Aaron rod that budded:

Which speaks of Intuition; revelation and wisdom.

NOW: there was a lid on the ark and cherubims guarded it.

The Ark is a picture of Jesus.

Colossians 2:3

In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

In Jesus the Ark is his the treasure of wisdom

The ark had a lid on it and trick is how to get the lid off and gain access to the treasure inside, Wisdom, Revelation, Fellowship, and Life

The lid on the ark was called THE MERCY SEAT

Exodus 25:16	And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee.
17	And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof.
20	And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims be.

Now how do you get the lid off the Ark and gain access to the treasure?

II Corinthians 4:1

Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;

God has called us all to be ministers of the new covenant, but w are not able to do this in our own ability; we need mercy, active help from God.

In Jesus (the ark) we are complete, He has all we need. IN HIS MERCY He will help you release to you what you need to fulfill your destiny and calling.

The Key:  First you have to show mercy

Matthew 5:7

Blessed [are] the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

We need wisdom insight into the true nature of things, but in order to get this you have to show mercy. 

I was ministering to a person who was in such a mess it seemed impossible to be able to help the person, gross sin had caused this person to become so entangled in the grip of the enemy it seemed hopeless. I looked at this person and felt such compassion and mercy for them, my whole attitude to the person changed, I felt overwhelming mercy towards this person. When this happened the lid as it were came off the ark and I new everything about the person, I knew what had started the problem when the person was a child, I saw into his occult ancestry and how they had been dedicates as child to Lucifer, with this knowledge and wisdom I was able to dismantle the stronghold and set the person free. Blessed as the merciful for they shall receive mercy (active help from God)

GOD GIVES YOU WISDOM GIFTS ABILITY WHEN YOU SHOW MERCY

Isaiah 58:6

[Is] not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?

Showing mercy

Isaiah 58:7

[Is it] not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?  MERCY

THEN GOD WILL SOW MERCY TO YOU AND OPEN HIS TREASURES

Isaiah 58:8	Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward.
9	Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;

Putting forth finger; Judging instead of showing mercy

Isaiah 58:10	And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness [be] as the noon day:
11	And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
12	And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt becalled, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.

Wisdom comes from God to the person who is full of mercy and good fruits

Matthew 9:36

But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.

That feeling of compassion triggered an incredible miracle

Matthew 20:34

So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.

Spiritual Power has to flow in a channel; if the channel is not open it cannot flow

Showing mercy active compassion and real love opens a channel for the flow of God’s ability. Strong desire and compassion often triggers the gift of faith and opens up to us the wisdom needed for the task and automatically good fruit will follow.

II Corinthians 4:1

Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
