One of the most important things we can do to ensure our success is to use wisdom and listen to what God is saying to us concerning our life. Proverbs 4:6 lets us know that wisdom is the principle thing. Ephesians 5:17 says, “Don’t be unwise (foolish) but understand what the will of the Lord is.” Yes, the Holy Spirit will speak to you, but He may tell you to read a specific book or take a certain class or talk to a nutritionist.

Things aren’t always what they seem. For instance, a person may have constant headaches because of a poor diet or not drinking enough water. They may not need to be healed, they may simply need to make some changes in their diet. Or, maybe a parent has been having daily fights with their teenaged son and asking God to change the teenager. However, the root of the problem may be that they are not speaking their son’s love language. The Holy Spirit wants to reveal these things to parents.

Disobedience to God and His Word can keep us from experiencing God’s best. Many people struggle with forgiving those who have wronged them, not realizing they’re blocking the blessings of God in their lives. In Galatians 5:6 we see “…faith works by love” and in 1 Corinthians 13:5, “Love does not remember wrongs done against it.” (ETR version) We need to walk in love in order for our faith to work and we’re not walking in love if we’re holding grudges.

Finding and acting on the wisdom of God can save us time, money and grief. Putting in the effort to discover God’s will can prevent us from making high-priced mistakes, mistakes that can cost us our health, our family and money. I personally could have saved myself a lot of stress, time and many thousands of dollars had I just taken the time to do this.

Hearing and acting on the wisdom of God not only saves money and resources, but can also generate riches and wealth. In his book, How You Can Be Led By The Spirit of God, Kenneth Hagin talks about how in the early 1900’s, a business man went from making $5,500 a year to having over $30 million worth of assets by learning how to hear from God and tap into His wisdom by training and developing his spirit.

So before you start that business, or attend college or get married, take several hours, days or even several weeks if need be, to spend time alone with God and His Word and find out His wisdom concerning the matter.

As you are in this time of finding out God’s perfect will, keep speaking faith-filled words. Instead of saying, “I don’t know what to do,” say things like, “I have the mind of Christ so I always make the right decisions. In all my ways I acknowledge God and He directs my paths. I always hear and obey the voice of God.”

People may try to put pressure on you to make your decision quickly. You won’t be able to hear clearly from God if you’re under stress. If possible, get away from anyone or anything that’s putting pressure on you and get alone with God.
