Wisdom is a skill in living that begins with fearing God, then progresses to guarding your mind, choosing your companions, controlling your body, monitoring your words, pursuing your work, managing your money, and loving your neighbor. Very simple. But that’s it. And when you’ve done that, you’ve learned wisdom. It’s vital to be taught wisdom. For example, as a father, if I fail to teach my son to fear God, the devil will teach him to hate God. If I fail to teach my son to guard his mind, the devil will teach him to have an open mind. If I fail to teach my son to obey his parents, the devil will teach him to rebel and break his parents’ hearts. If I fail to teach my son to select his companions carefully, the devil will choose them for him. If I fail to teach my son to control his body, the devil will gladly teach him to give it completely over to his lusts. If I fail to teach my children to enjoy speech that is honorable to God, the devil will fill their mouths with filth. If I fail to teach my children to pursue their work, the devil will make them lazy. If I fail to teach them to manage their money, the devil will teach them to waste it on riotous living. If I fail to teach them to love their neighbor, the devil will gladly teach them to love only themselves.

A Call for Restoration
The New Testament reveals that the Holy Spirit, the breath of God, creates life, transforms it, purifies, comforts, and conforms sinners to Christ, and equips, empowers, seals, secures, and illuminates. These are the things for which He is to be honored and loved. However, Benny Hinn, a charismatic leader, states this: “No, no, never ever go to the Lord and say, ‘If it be Your will.’” Don’t ever say that. “The acting of the Holy Spirit is dependent on my words. He will not move until I say it.” Really? Those two quotes accuse the Holy Spirit of demonic activity and question His sovereignty. Benny is sovereign. The Holy Spirit is not. This, by the way, comes from a false teacher who says he has the anointing from God. I don’t want to waste time going through all the ridiculous claims that charismatics make. I just want to emphasize the gravity of this issue, as worshiping the triune God is the most fundamental and highest duty. In Exodus chapter 20, we’re instructed about God, and the first half of the commandments relate to Him, to not make a graven image. And it all ends up with: “Don’t take the Lord’s name in vain.” What is that? It’s to speak of God in any irreverent manner. It’s not just using God’s name as a curse word. It’s to speak of God in any irreverent manner, any way that misrepresents Him in His nature, in His attributes, in His works, or in His words. Anything attributed to God that is not of Him is taking His name in vain. Misrepresenting God is most severe. Deuteronomy 28:58 says: “If you are not careful to observe all the words of this law which are written in the book, to fear this honored and awesome name, the Lord your God, then the Lord will bring extraordinary plagues on you and your descendants, even severe and lasting plagues, and miserable and chronic sicknesses. He will bring back on you all the diseases of Egypt of which you were afraid, and they will cling to you.” If you take the name of the Lord in vain, God will punish you. We don’t need a golden calf version of the Holy Spirit. We don’t need a fake Holy Spirit. We need the Holy Spirit that’s revealed in Scripture. All that simply leads me to say that we’re here to try to call for the restoration of the true worship of the Holy Spirit in the church. The charismatic movement has successfully demanded acceptance on the basis of love and tolerance. As a result, people have welcomed the charismatic movement, which has corrupted the church, cultivated extreme emotionalism, and confused people about prayer, worship, praise, faith, contentment, humility, and sovereignty, among other things. They would have faced rejection as either heterodox or heretical in a different era of history. And for over two thousand years the church has risen up to defend the Father and risen up to defend the Son. Why will it not rise up to defend the Holy Spirit? There is really no way to explain that failure. Repent and believe! GTY.org (TM13-1) - Strange Fire – TM13-1
