Prophet's Column “The World By Wisdom Knew Not God” By Jim Little “For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolish ness of preaching to save them that believe.” (I Cor. 1:21) The Apostle Paul very clearly is setting forth in this Scripture that you cannot know God by world ly wisdom, that is, your intellectural or educational ability. I’m glad you cannot know God by the wisdom of this world. If you could know Him by your wisdom, you would always be bloat ed with pride; by my edu cation, by my scientific knowledge, I found the Lord. And you be the r' proudest peacock or pea hen that ever walked on the earth. Salvation does not come by any human merits at all, no! Salvation comes as a gift from God. Christ is always REVEALED to the heart of a sinner. The only way you can know Christ as your Lord and your Saviour is that He be revealed to your heart. The Lord was talking to a group of His disciples one day and asked them this pointed question; “...Whom do men say that 1 the Son of man am? And they (the disciples) said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jere mias, or one of the pro phets. He saith unto them, BUT WHOM SAY YE THAT I AM? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And ocouo aiuwcicu diiu itdlQ unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjena: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.” (Matt. 16:13-17) There you have it, the only way you can know Christ is for the Father to reveal Him to your heart. And if the Father never reveals Christ to your heart, you’ll die and bust Hell wide open. You are coming to Christ God’s way or you are going to Hell. It has been said to me many times; everybody has their own beliefs. That’s why you are not saved. You are going to give up your beliefs and opinions before you are ever saved, if you are ever to be saved. Mo6t of you read these messages from week to week have already been added to the number that will spend eternity in Hell. Listen again to my Lord in Luke 10:22 “All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man know eth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son WILL REVEAL HIM.” What Jim Little could be any plainer.? The world, religious as well as secular, thinks that it can solve any problem through education. You have had almost six thou sand years to improve the world, and solve your pro blems through education. And only a blind fool would not agree that the world is in far worse shape today than years ago. We live in a world of violence and bloodshed. More churches are being built, more people are attaining de grees than ever before. Master degrees are as common as high school diplomas. But no matter how enlightened man thinks he is, he is sinking deeper and deeper in pro blems and does not know the way out. The only way out is Christ! But you will not have Him. Your cry is; ‘‘we’ll not have this Man to ruie over us \ It is by the foolishness of preaching that sinners are saved. Preaching the Gos pel is not foolishness, but you regard it as foolish ness. What you call crazy and foolishness would save you, but you are smarter than God you think. And as long as you go on in that realm you will never be saved. Before any sinner is saved, he has to be brought under Holy Spirit Convict ion (Jn. 16:7-11) where you are stripped, or as we have said “unlearned.” You have got to forget every thing you ever learned and learn from Christ. I realize it is taught all over the world today that man is an evolutionist. Man did not evohite in the Gar den of Eden, man “devolut ed” in the Garden of Eden. You may not find that word "devoluted” in your dic tionary, but Mr. Shakes peare coined new words, so can we. Man fell in the Garden, surrendering al lSSoBONNEVILL^l BROUGHAM 4 DOOR 1 1980 BONNEVILLE 2 DOOR SEDAN 1980 BONNEVILLE SAFARI WAGON . ALL ARC FULLY LOADED DIESEL AND IN STOCK! IMMEDIATE DELIVERY! legiance to Satan. That is why you are a sinner by nature, you are a fallen child of Satan. Under the conflicting power of the Holy Spirit you learn that very well. Holy Spirit Con viction is God teaching the sinner all about himself in order that he may see his sinful and depraved na ture, that there is no hope in man, or man’s self help so-called, that you, as the sinner, may see your need of a Substitute. And that Substitute is the Lord Jesus Christ. Christ and Christ alone is my salvation. Is He yours? If He is, why can’t I find fellowship with you in Christ? Why is it you run away and refuse to talk to me about Christ? Listen to the apostle again; “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, BECAUSE THEY ARE SPIRITUAL LY DISCERNED.” (I Cor. 2:14) The Holy Spirit is the Author of the Word of God, the reason vou do not un derstand the Wordof-GotL is because you are not saved. The key to under standing the Word of God ts the NEW BIRTH. The na tural man, not being born again has no capacity to understand the Word of God. That is why a preacher said that the Anti christ was going to protect the saints during the Tribu lation Period. Oh, the blind ness of the religious world! The natural man cannot understand the things of the Spirit of God because the natural man is simply a house of flesh, and that is all you will ever be unless the Holy Spirit gives you the New Birth. If He doesn't give you the New Birth, then your final abode will be Hell and the Lake of Fire. I am very much aware that these simple messages from week to week are giving many re lieionists here unshirted Hell. They ought to, you are hiding under a religious covering and the messages are exposing your hide. I praise the Lord for it. You’ll come clean and come clear with God or go to Hell! Christ is my wisdom, righteousness, sanctificat ion, and redemption. I can glory only in Christ. Whom are you glorying in? All believers speak the same language, blood redemp tion in Christ. Listen again; “Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spi ritual things with spiritual. (I Cor. 2:12-13). What I have set forth in these messages is what the Holy Spirit has taught me, you rise up in rebellion and disagreement because you are not taught of the Holy Spirit.
