3 Through wisdom a house is built, And by understanding it is established; 4 By knowledge the rooms are filled With all precious and pleasant riches. 5 A wise man is strong, Yes, a man of knowledge increases strength; 6 For by wise counsel you will wage your own war, And in a multitude of counselors there is safety.
15 “If you love Me, keep My commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. 19 “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also.
1 Now it happened, when David and his men came to Ziklag, on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the South and Ziklag, attacked Ziklag and burned it with fire, 2 and had taken captive the women and those who were there, from small to great; they did not kill anyone, but carried them away and went their way. 3 So David and his men came to the city, and there it was, burned with fire; and their wives, their sons, and their daughters had been taken captive. 4 Then David and the people who were with him lifted up their voices and wept, until they had no more power to weep. 5 And David’s two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the widow of Nabal the Carmelite, had been taken captive. 6 Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God.

9 “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it? 10 I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings.
11 For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.
The Raw Power to run our marital destiny .
When u meet someone who is wise , one of the sign is acceptance of your limitation .
You are man in you very best .. Leverages on the power of the spirit to achive greater things .
Any one who does not accept his limitation is not wise
We don’t know everything what we dont know is biggers than what you know .
You can maximaze results with small effort , those are sign that you are wise .
10 If the ax is dull, And one does not sharpen the edge, Then he must use more strength; But wisdom brings success.
Skills brings success.

Children of Isreal spy the land
Don’t measure yourself against the Giant , measure your Giant Against God.
24 But My servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit in him and has followed Me fully, I will bring into the land where he went, and his descendants shall inherit it.
30 Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.” 31 But the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.”
David and Goliath ..
The Army of God not Army of Isreal . Take God out of the equation you are powerless , but put him in he take over .
When God show up he take charges .
When the call you head of a home it is only figurative , you are under head . Holy spirit is the HEAD.
Give the Holy Spirit is place , not recoginsing and obey the spirit in marriage is respice for problem
30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. 31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
To the point where he withdraw and watch you distroy everyone
9 In all their affliction He was afflicted, And the Angel of His Presence saved them; In His love and in His pity He redeemed them; And He bore them and carried them All the days of old. 10 But they rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit; So He turned Himself against them as an enemy, And He fought against them.
Don’t Joke wth the Spirit ..

How do u grieve HIM
Not Recongise his presence
Disobeying his voice. He will always speak to u
26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.
In the heat of the moment , what make a different is that thier is someone who will remind you not to altar that word, direct you , convint you .
26 “Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath, 27 nor give place to the devil.
The Holy Spirit will deal with you . I am not going to say anything within seven days .
Just when u make that decsion the holy spirit will remind . when u you constitencly make choice that disobey the voice of the holy spirit , you will drawn his voice in your life and you concious will gradually deaded to his voice , Holy Spirit will gradually withdraw .

The Wisdom of the Spirit in Marriage
8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. 9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.
Issues in marriage .
one did not agreed with councel , you not listen to the voice of the spirit . You cannot trust the voice leadership of the church you are attending its not save to be in that church, cos a time will come that you will need a voice over u .
This is the word of God
17 Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you.
David secret is that he never make decsion without praying and asking for divine direction .
Pray.
Guidiance.
Seek councel.
If you cannot pray . you are on dangerous ground .
If you will not submit to the holy spirit , you are on part off world . PAIN
14 Because the palaces will be forsaken, The bustling city will be deserted. The forts and towers will become lairs forever, A joy of wild donkeys, a pasture of flocks— 15 Until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high, And the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, And the fruitful field is counted as a forest. 16 Then justice will dwell in the wilderness, And righteousness remain in the fruitful field.
PART 2
11 Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. 12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your generous Spirit.
16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting;
A christian can know what he needs to do .
He can know the right thing to , but emotion are more power than reason .
You will be amaze wnat a christian can do when they are married even in the content and parameter of marriage .
The only way.. is to walk in the spirit . THE ONLY WAY ..
Your flesh is very strong , the desire of you emotion is very very strong
Leverage on the wisdom of the spirit .
That is the Only way .
Some home the influence of the spirit .
Work in step ,
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: 17 ‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams.
The holy spirit empower you your intution to see things and know what to do
9 But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
After you read book, you need empower of the spirit
You marriage is different ,
Problem of comparism
God has a purpose for your marriage , human been that has never ..
You why
Marriage is not only about a nice time , it about purpose .
God always has eternity in mind , he has a stake in marriage . It is smartness to obey him
We work with intution of the spirit.
It might not make sence now but if teh spirit is leading you he make sence late
If you wife is misbhaiving and you are loving her you are smart.
that is what holy spirit said we should do.
I can never that in my house.. you just got a slap revelation
1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
If you have the spirit of condemination in ma rriage is a sign someone is out of tune with the holy spirit .
Which law is working in your home
Law of life or law of death is working in your home .
Choice Life .
15 “See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil, 16 in that I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, that you may live and multiply; and the Lord your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess. 17 But if your heart turns away so that you do not hear, and are drawn away, and worship other gods and serve them, 18 I announce to you today that you shall surely perish; you shall not prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to go in and possess. 19 I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; 20 that you may love the Lord your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.”
63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.
You allow what the holy spirit saying to rule you have life .
nothing die in your home any more.
23 Turn at my rebuke; Surely I will pour out my spirit on you; I will make my words known to you.
Any time you obey the spirit you get more anoiting and you choice to do the work of spirit
Choice .. Obedient to the spirit .
If you are committed to the voice of the spirit you will never beat your wife or talk her down.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
Love .. i don’t feel it now . help me holy spirit .
Holy Spirit help me . you feel like it , it will give the capacity to forgive
Holy spirit help me
1 “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, Because the Lord has anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
3 To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.”
When Joy is missing check someone is not aligned with the spirit ..
what you should destroy your home over you will laugh

The battle is not about you .. if devil successed to tell you that your greatest problem is your wife or husband his has truly win in that marriage. cos holy spirit will not tell u dt .
Wrong Prophecy

The two inspiration .
6 I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, 7 which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.
Don’t be decieived .
Your wife is not your problem . God is builder , restorer .
18 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, 19 speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,
The way some pple talk to thwir child , or wife
stay what he said .
We speak life
the law of spirit of life .
Some pple are born again but their money is not , their marriage is not .
When you allow to allow him
12 People shall mourn upon their breasts For the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine. 13 On the land of my people will come up thorns and briers, Yes, on all the happy homes in the joyous city; 14 Because the palaces will be forsaken, The bustling city will be deserted. The forts and towers will become lairs forever, A joy of wild donkeys, a pasture of flocks— 15 Until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high, And the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, And the fruitful field is counted as a forest. 16 Then justice will dwell in the wilderness, And righteousness remain in the fruitful field.

HE LEADS ME
A Psalm of David. 1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. 3 He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever.
If I am with HIM HE LEAD ME .. How do we get here. HE LEADS ME..
