Demonic Wisdom

Scripture

This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, natural, demonic. 

~James 3:15, NASB

Quote

Be careful where you get your advice; the world is more than willing to tell you what to do.

~Ray dis Comfort

For everything that is real, Satan has a counterfiet. There is a true wisdom that comes from above but there is also a worldly wisdom that is demonic in nature. James the brother of our LORD said, “When we have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in our hearts; when we boast and resist the truth–this sort of wisdom is earthly and demonic. But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, and without hypocrisy. Godly wisdom does not promote strife and confusion. David said in Psalm one, Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers. How do you deal with folks who are hyper critical and always finding fault with every thing you do? One thing you can do is avoid them. I refuse to stay in the company of those who lambast and berate the leaders I admire. If you are a Trump basher, you and I are not going to hangout because I will not listen to your criticism of the most pro-life president in history. Yet I know people, and people are not only prone to listen to criticism, they are prone to pile on. I have learned never to trust the person that comes to me, telling me what others are saying about me. A true friend will defend your honor on the spot; not run tell you what someone else said about you.

I’ve been on both ends of the spectrum. I know what it is like to be corrected and I also know what it is like to hold others accountable for what they are saying. As a young man, I was basically making fun of my own father when an uncle called me to task. He interrupted me with this comment, “You make a lot of fun of your father but I happen to think the world of him.” Not only did I stop my little comedy routine on that particular occasion, I made sure I never said anything negative about my daddy in his presence again. You do not have to listen to others criticize friends or leaders: you have a choice. I gave a mild rebuke to a preacher who was being critical of another preacher who I just happened to admire. He was never critical of that preacher in my presence again. In God’s kingdom, motive is everything. Beware of the hidden agenda and remember the characteristics of TRUE WISDOM: it is pure, peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy, unwavering, and without hypocrisy {a hidden agenda}.

At a little after 6:00 this evening, June and I will have been married for 50 years. It has been a quick 50–went by in a flash just like the month of August. Football and Labor Day are just around the corner. I will be in a REVIVAL service with one of my sons in the ministry this Sunday morning at 11:00 am, at the Grassy Baptist Church near Lexington, Alabama. Please pray for me. I am a home body and I do not do well on the road.

Cory has covid and Ty is being tested today. We have several friends at the point who are battling covid. Some schools are already going virtual: Big Mama is praying that Danville will not follow suit. It is sad about the Marines and their families. Biden is a joke. It is too bad that our media has betrayed us; had they been truthful, none of this would have ever happened. Nothing is impossible with God. I know many of you do not believe that but I do. I pray daily for the likes of Richard Shelby to realize what they’ve done and to repent and do the right thing. Trump was elected and he needs to be restored ASAP. These morons and cultural marxist will destroy this county before 2024. The no so Supreme Court also betrayed us. We just need one of these entities that was a part of the conspiracy to blow the whistle on this fraudulent election. A crooked election is no election.
