This is so God’s multi-faceted wisdom may now be made known through the church to the rulers and authorities in the heavens. Ephesians 3:10 HCSB
When was the last time you saw your church reveal God's multi-faceted wisdom to angels, demons, or Satan? Does gospel preaching and disciple-making reveal God's multifaceted wisdom?
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not My ways.” This is the Lord ’s declaration. “For as heaven is higher than earth, so My ways are higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.
Isaiah 55:8-9 HCSB
https://bible.com/bible/72/isa.55.8-9.HCSB
God knows how to reach each individual person. He knows all our ventures and all our daily routines in our homes and places of work. He knows us better than we know ourselves. So then God has a multifaceted wisdom that is beyond what we can imagine. We can only remember what we have learned from a person, but God knows it all about all. There is nothing that is hidden from Him. And yet many times we want to take man's opinion or theory on a certain matter rather than standing on God's truth!
When God reaches the lost do the angels rejoice and say, "I knew He could do it"? When God reaches the lost does it confuse the demons and Satan and they say, "How in heaven did God reach that person I thought we had them"?
I tell you, in the same way, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”
Luke 15:10 HCSB
https://bible.com/bible/72/luk.15.10.HCSB
You believe that God is one; you do well. The demons also believe — and they shudder.
James 2:19 HCSB
https://bible.com/bible/72/jas.2.19.HCSB
God does not have to resort to the same pattern every time to reach the lost or the disciple they found, because He is a creative God. The devil has to resort to the same tactics to keep the lost and confuse the church because he cannot be creative. His plan is always to deceive the mind and then keep their life as unproductive as possible. God's plan is to enlighten the mind to His multifaceted wisdom and then create good things out of the thwarts of the Devil.
We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God: those who are called according to His purpose.
Romans 8:28 HCSB
https://bible.com/bible/72/rom.8.28.HCSB
No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to humanity. God is faithful, and He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation He will also provide a way of escape so that you are able to bear it.
1 Corinthians 10:13 HCSB
https://bible.com/bible/72/1co.10.13.HCSB
For I know the plans I have for you” — this is the Lord ’s declaration — “plans for your welfare, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
Jeremiah 29:11 HCSB
https://bible.com/bible/72/jer.29.11.HCSB
I hope that the Church will be open to God's multifaceted wisdom and stop believing the deception of Satan in their corporate gatherings and in their individual lives.
For the word of God is living and effective and sharper than any double-edged sword, penetrating as far as the separation of soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It is able to judge the ideas and thoughts of the heart.
Hebrews 4:12 HCSB
https://bible.com/bible/72/heb.4.12.HCSB
For Yahweh takes pleasure in His people; He adorns the humble with salvation. Let the godly celebrate in triumphal glory; let them shout for joy on their beds. Let the exaltation of God be in their mouths and a double-edged sword in their hands,
Psalms 149:4-6 HCSB
https://bible.com/bible/72/psa.149.4-6.HCSB
I turned to see whose voice it was that spoke to me. When I turned I saw seven gold lampstands, and among the lampstands was One like the Son of Man, dressed in a long robe and with a gold sash wrapped around His chest. His head and hair were white like wool — white as snow — and His eyes like a fiery flame. His feet were like fine bronze as it is fired in a furnace, and His voice like the sound of cascading waters. He had seven stars in His right hand; a sharp double-edged sword came from His mouth, and His face was shining like the sun at midday.
Revelation 1:12-16 HCSB
