Series: Loving Life at Home
Text: Proverbs 24:1-4
Introduction:
God provides wisdom and the faith to trust Him.
But unfortunately, WE often do not encounter the problem of too much of God’s wisdom, but usually we just kinda muddle through life hoping everything will work out.
We see this in many relationships: husband/wives, parents/children, coworkers and in friendships.
I believe God wants us to operate under His leading and His influence and that can happen if we will just exercise some faith and learn to Trust Him.
But we usually do not exercise enough faith to allow God to work as He wants.
Envious-pained with the desire to possess a superior good that another possesses.
Wisdom-the right use of knowledge
Understanding-comprehending; apprehending the ideas or sense of another.
Knowledge-a clear perception of that which exist or of truth and fact.
God has designed the Christian home to be built upon His Wisdom(Word of God) and our Faith-Obeying the Word of God.
The idea that marriage doesn’t work is not valid when the Word of God guides it.
We need a lot less of the world’s wisdom and more of God’s wisdom….
There is nothing more discouraging than purchasing an item that doesn’t work.
Ill – Waterproof IPhone case….”caution

Ill – Guaranteed spot remover
Many homes/marriages/friendships/jobs are not working today and those involved in them are frustrated, angry, bitter, resentful and leaving.
James 2:17-18
“Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.”
Many families are experiencing a crisis of their faith.
Is the faith or the Word faulty; or is our practice faulty?
God has provided everything necessary for a faith that works.
He has provided the wisdom to build the home mentioned in the book of Proverbs.
A family or a life that is being built with wisdom and Faith will demonstrate the following truths.
I.
A Guiding Presence of the Holy Spirit
A. The Indwelling of the Spirit
Note – The new birth is a spiritual birth.
John 3:6
“That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.”
2 Peter 1:4
“Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.”
Note – It is a wonderful thing when two diverse people are both indwelt by the same Spirit.
Note – The Holy Spirit will give life to the relationship of two yielded Christians who are not living in violation of Scriptures.
Al Stone-In most cases a loss of love for a spouse is preceded by a loss of love for Jesus Christ!!
It is power from within, not pressure from without that holds the church and the home together.
B. The Purposes of the Spirit
1.
He is our Comfort
Ill – Young couple celebrating their 2nd anniversary.
The young husband called a florist and said, “Tell her Happy Anniversary – year number two!”
When she got the card it said, “Happy anniversary – “You’re number two!”
2.
He is our Teacher
3.
He will glorify Christ
Note – There is no way that our homes can glorify Christ apart from yielding to the indwelling Holy Spirit.
The ultimate purpose in every home is to glorify Christ.
C. The Evidences of the Spirit
Note – Not tongues….
1.
A godly lifestyle – (Fruitful)
Note – Galatians 5:16-26 – “Walking in the Spirit” is not some emotional experience, detached from everyday life.
It is the daily experience of the believer who feeds on the Word, prays, and obeys what the Bible says.
2. A holy lifestyle
Note – Ephesians 5:18-6:9 – The marks of a Spirit-filled Christian are not unusual emotional experiences, miracles, and tongues, but rather Christian character.
A family being built with wisdom and faith has:
A Guiding Presence of the Holy Spirit
II.
A Biblical View of Self
Note – We can’t enter into this week thinking that we are the greatest and that we posses all strength and we have all the answers.
Our flesh will fight the Spirit’s leading to develop a spiritual home.
Selfishness shows up in: angry outbursts, lying, foul language, tantrums, pouting, etc….by the way if your kid demonstrates these traits, then they are just following your lead!!!
A married couple had a quarrel and ended up giving each other the silent treatment.
Two days into their mute argument, the man realized he needed his wife’s help.
In order to catch a flight to Chicago for a business meeting, he had to get up at 5 a.m.
Not wanting to be the first to break the silence, he wrote on a piece of paper, “Please wake me at 5 a.m.”
The next morning the man woke up only to discover his wife was already out of bed, it was 9 a.m., and his flight had long since departed.
He was about to find his wife and demand an answer for her failings when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed.
He read, “It’s 5 a.m.
Wake up.”
A. “Self” or Pride is the Destroyer of All Relationships
1. Pride produces Fleshly actions
2. Pride Produces Fleshly speech
Froward-perverse, ungovernable, uncontrollable
R.B. Oullette- “Very seldom do I get into trouble for what I don’t say”
Note – A Spirit–filled Christian has a fresh vocabulary.
Ill – A girl from a church youth group worked at a department store after school.
One day she was asked to announce the holiday specials over the loud speaker.
She finished her announcement with “Thank you for shopping with us and have a nice day.”
Then without thinking, she added: “In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
B. Pride is Defeated When We Appropriate Scripture
Find a verse that deals with pride-read it, study it, memorize it, meditate on it!!!
SEE THE BIBLE PROMISE BOOK!!
Turn – Romans 6:6-10
Note – When Christ died, we died with Him; when He was raised, we were raised to newness of life with Him.
This is our new permanent position in Christ.
Christ not only died for sin, but He also died unto sin (6:10).
That is, He broke the power of sin and put out of commission (destroyed) the old nature (6:6).
The old nature is still there, this we know; but it has been robbed of its power by the cross of Christ, for we died with Christ to all that belongs to the old life.
The believer no longer is a slave to the old sinful nature…the believer now has the freedom to choose whether to become a servant to Jesus/Holy Ghost or a servant to sin.
The old adage- “the devil made me do it” is only applicable to unsaved persons.
The devil cannot make a believer do anything, but he can entice the believer and the believer then has a choice.
Choose obedience to the Holy Spirit or Choose disobedience.
A Family Being built be wisdom and faith has:
A Guiding Presence of the Holy Spirit
A Biblical View of Self
III.
A Daily Practice of Serving
For the most part women need love and men need respect.
