Wisdom

These are wisdom confessions I use, based upon scriptures in the King James Version and Amplified Bible.

Father, You said if anyone lacks wisdom, let him ask of You, Who gives to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. Therefore, I ask in faith, nothing wavering, to be filled with the knowledge of Your will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. Today I incline my ear unto wisdom, and I apply my heart to understanding so that I might receive that which has been freely given unto me.

In the name of Jesus, I receive skillful and Godly wisdom and instruction into my heart. I discern and comprehend the words of understanding and insight. Discretion shall watch over me; understanding shall keep me, to deliver me from the way of evil and the lips of flattery, enticement, seduction, deceit and lies. I walk in the way of good men, and keep to the paths of the righteous. I receive instruction in wise dealing and the discipline of wise thoughtfulness, righteousness, justice, and integrity. Prudence (the ability to regulate and discipline myself wisely), knowledge, discretion and discernment are given to me. I increase in knowledge. As a person of understanding, I acquire skill and attain to sound counsels [so that I may be able to steer my course rightly].

I am a man/woman of integrity, blameless and complete in Your sight. I make my heart and ears attentive to Godly counsel and do that which is right in your sight.

I confess and believe that my decisions are divinely directed by You, Father, and my mouth shall not transgress in judgment. Divinely directed decisions are on my lips. I am a man/woman of discernment, understanding, knowledge and wisdom. I believe my heart is in Your hand and You turn it whichever way You desire.

I receive Your Word, God, and treasure it. I make my ears attentive to Your wisdom and direct and apply my heart and mind to Your understanding [applying all my powers to the quest for it]. I cry out for insight and raise my voice for understanding. I seek Your wisdom as for hidden treasure. The Lord gives me wisdom and from His mouth comes knowledge and understanding. He lays up sound wisdom for me as His righteous one; He is a shield to me who walks uprightly.

I let not mercy and truth forsake me; I bind them about my neck and write them upon the tablet of my heart. So shall I find favor and good understanding and high esteem in the sight of God and man.

I lean on, trust in and am confident in the Lord with all my heart and mind and do not rely on my own insight or understanding. In all my ways I know, recognize and acknowledge the Lord and He directs and makes straight and plain my paths. I am not wise in my own eyes; I reverence the Lord and turn entirely away from evil.

Wisdom will keep, defend, and protect me; I love her and she guards me. I prize Wisdom highly and exalt her; she will bring me to honor because I embrace her. She gives to my head a wreath of gracefulness; a crown of beauty and glory will she deliver to me. Length of days is in her right hand, and in her left hand are riches and honor.

Jesus has been made unto me wisdom, and in Him are all the treasures of [divine] wisdom, [of comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God], and [all the riches of spiritual] knowledge and enlightenment are stored up and lie hidden. God has hidden away sound and godly wisdom and stored it up for me, for I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.

Therefore, I walk in paths of uprightness. When I walk, my steps shall not be hampered----my path will be clear and open; and when I run, I shall not stumble. I take fast hold of instruction, and I do not let her go; I guard her, for she is my life. I let my eyes look right on [with fixed purpose], and my gaze is straight before me. I consider well the path of my feet, and I let all my ways be established and ordered aright.

Father, in the name of Jesus, I look carefully to how I walk! I live purposefully and worthily and accurately, not as unwise and witless, but as a wise, sensible, intelligent person; making the very most of my time----buying up every opportunity. Amen.
