Spiritual Wisdom.

'“The eyes of your heart” points figuratively to the organ of our reasoning and understanding, that is, our mind. In this passage the word “know” or “knowledge”—used twice—serves to convey two distinctive notions: the first one is a knowing intuitively, the second is a knowing or understanding mentally. This spirit of revelation is located in the depth of our being. God reveals Himself to our spirit

that we may truly apprehend Him by our intuition. Thus far,  however, this is but intuitive knowledge; that is to say, the inner man knows while the outer man remains ignorant. The communication to

the outward man of what has been known by the inward man is an indispensable step, the lack of which prevents united action by the inner and outer man together. How then can there be this

communication? The Scripture informs us that our spirit will enlighten our mental faculty to make it understand the meaning of the revelation in the intuition. Since our outward man depends on the

mind in order to comprehend things, the spirit must convey what it knows intuitively to the mind so that the latter can deliver the message to the entire being and enable the child of God to walk

according to the spirit.'

Excerpt- The Spiritual Man - Watchman Nee

Eph 1:17  That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: 

Eph 1:18  The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints

May the FATHER give us the SPIRIT of wisdom and revelation in the KNOWLEDGE of HIM.

The EYES of your UNDERSTANDING being enlightened, that you may KNOW what is the HOPE of HIS calling.

The eyes of our understanding, the eyes of our heart. 

Spirit of wisdom.

The eyes of our understanding- our mind.

The Spirit of wisdom- spiritual knowledge.

Two ways to learn- through our minds and through our spirit.

You can have all the book knowledge in the world and none of the Spirit.

You can have mind knowledge of God but none of the Spirit.

You can know of God, know of Salvation, know of the Spirit and you NOT have the Spirit knowledge. 

Knowing something but not experiencing in the Spirit is an important distinction.

You can know of love, but not experience love.

You can know of hate, but not experience hate.

You can know of many, many things but not have them as a reality, not have them as a heart knowledge, a spiritual knowledge.  We need Spiritual wisdom!

Col 1:9  For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 

Col 1:10  That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; 

Col 1:11  Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness

Filled with ALL wisdom AND spiritual understanding.

We need to pray to be filled with all wisdom and with spiritual understanding.

By the grace of God may this be. He is our ONLY hope!
