Introduction
“The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.”Proverbs 8: 22
“When he prepared the heavens, I was there”Proverbs 8: 27
The Lord possessed me in the beginning of His way, before His works of old; I was stirring around. He was with Him before His works of old, when there was nothing but space, in the immortal God, in His glory. And you say, what is this wisdom? Is it separate from God? It’s the inner being of God.
Wisdom brought forth the Messiah to His people. You say, when did that wisdom come forth? Eons of time, in the clouds of God, and the wisdom of the Almighty was there with Him, and there He was.
FOREKNOWLEDGE – Way back in the eons of time we don’t have words to describe how long ago in eternity it was! But the Lord of Hosts always foreknew us. And at the proper moment. Like a great cocoon spawning out of God’s mind and in the mist of His presence all of us were foreknown and came at His appointed time since Adam. Many Scriptures reveal this. One of them is Eph. chap. 1 – And here is another one Job 38: 6-7, His chosen was with Him when He laid the foundations of earth’s corner stone. When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
“According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love”Ephesians 1: 4
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”Isaiah 9: 6
He was before Angels, He was before principalities of Angels, and all the other things. He was there first, the word was God in the beginning, and the word was with God.
God makes a form for you to look at, but oh, inside that form is that wisdom, dancing in fire.
The very heart of wisdom stood before them, the very inner part of God was standing there, covered up in flesh.
There was the wisdom of the ages; that’s the way He chose to do it. You might say, well, I could have a better way. You would be a fool, saith the Lord, there is no better way on this planet than what I chose for these people.
The inner Spirit of God is wisdom. It’s the Spirit making perfect decisions, and establishing His word, and will.
Each of you have some of this in you, a small amount, like faith.
Wisdom works with everything that God created.
All of God’s knowledge together is what wisdom is, in His word.
He can do it sometimes that it doesn’t look in perfection because He wants it that way, and one of them is the human being. He could have made you like an Angel, but He left off a little something in there, and you’re going to have to get it all back together to become like an Angel.
If you want to be perfect, if you want to go into perfection with God, then you receive salvation in your heart, and you listen to His divine wisdom, and you believe with your faith, and the power within your heart, and you’ll be changed, and then you’ll reach utter perfection as the Angels are, and you’ll be with Him then, and then you won’t age, then there’ll be no more sorrows, and there’ll be no more aging or old, or anything else in there.
“Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him”Proverbs 8: 30
When I was by Him, as one brought up with Him, and I was daily His delight, rejoicing always before Him. God loves to see the things that He created. And His great inner wisdom of power, it’s all the same, the Holy Spirit, and wisdom in there, but it’s His workings to make those decisions, to make those precisions and appointments, and then stand back and see what a delight that I made.
“I WILL bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.”Psalm 34: 1
You will be blessed.

Summary of the Sermon
We listened to a sermon titled “Revelation Wisdom”, CD # 1229, by Brother Neal Frisby.
In the sermon, Brother Frisby said:
It’s called revelation wisdom, and the rewards of wisdom.
The inner Spirit of God is wisdom. It’s creative, eternal life is what it is, working with Him. It’s the Spirit making perfect decisions, and establishing His word, and will.
Each of you have some of this in you, a small amount, like faith.
Wisdom works with everything that God created.
He that savest souls is wise. Wisdom will come for him to save more souls if he saves some souls. He that savest souls is wise indeed, even he, saith the Lord, that witness to that soul is wise indeed. Ye are my witnesses. So, you’d remember, he that saveth souls, or helps to save souls, or in some way makes it possible for a soul to be saved, is wise. He’ll shine forever, and ever, and ever. God loves a soul winner. He loves an intercessor.
Proverbs 15, 11 through about 18.
Hell and destruction are before the Lord. He sees the destruction coming and going. How much more then the hearts of the children of men? If hell and destruction are before Him, how much more He sees your heart and your needs.
A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise. That’s you with the gospel. He won’t go with you, with the wise.
A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken. If somebody, by sorrow of the heart, they’ll have anxiety, they’ll have worry, they’ll be upset, and so forth like that. But a merry heart will wipe it out.
The heart of him that hath understanding. If he has any understanding at all, he’ll seeketh knowledge, but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
All the days of the afflicted are evil. That means troubles, and problems, and it seems like they just want to stay in them. But he that is of a merry heart hath continual feast.
Better is a little with fear of the Lord than great treasure, trouble wherewith. He said be content, because it’s even better, he said, to have a little with fear of the Lord, than to have all of that, not know God or have any fear of God.
Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith. Some people would rather be where ox was stalled, and they couldn’t move him, so they’d hate and fight, rather eat with a few herbs with the love of God in him. In other words, people, they love the other, but when it gets down to peace, contentment, and all that, that God gives, they’d rather do the other.
A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is of slow to anger appeaseth strife. If he’s kind of slow of anger, he might see that something’s not right, but you know, using the judgment, if he’s slow to anger, he’ll appease that strife.
We’ll come to Proverbs 8, about 14.
Counsel is mine, sound wisdom, within wisdom, I am understanding, I have strength. If you had all of that, that’s perfect knowledge, that’s the Holy Spirit.
By me kings reign, princes decree justice; he calls upon it.
Princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth. I set it up, and I put it down, who I want to.
I love them that love me, and those that seek me early, if they seek me early, in my wisdom, they will find me. Diligently seek me early; in other words, seek Him first, and you’ll get the answer to your prayers.
Riches and honor are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness; they are mine. Lasting wealth in the Spirit, or otherwise, that God would give upon this earth or in the Spirit.
My fruit is better than gold. Now, he’s talking the other way, yet, he said, it’s wealth. My fruit is better than gold, yea, than the fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment.
That I may choose those that love me to inherit substance, and I will fill their treasures. There’s a kind of divine wisdom that will get you great wealth. Divine wisdom will get you riches, it said here, but all the riches that divine wisdom gets you is not worth what divine wisdom is worth, it’s what it’s saying.
Riches and honor are with me, yea, durable riches and righteousness, but I’m more than anything that it can get you, except salvation and eternal life. Wisdom is worth more than what it gets you, always remember.
I may cause those that love me to inherit substance, and I will fill their treasures. It means spiritually, He will fill you with His treasures, and it means materially, He’ll fill you with material treasures. It means both ways.
The Lord possessed me in the beginning of His way, before His works of old; I was stirring around. He was with Him before His works of old, when there was nothing but space, in the immortal God, in His glory. And you say, what is this wisdom? Is it separate from God? It’s the inner being of God.
God makes a form for you to look at, but oh, inside that form is that wisdom, dancing in fire.
And when they saw Jesus, His eyes were as a flame of fire; there it is, sweeping back and forth in there. That’s what’s going to gather that church.
And before the beginning of the way, before His works, it says way before.
I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, that’s eternal then, or ever the earth was, I was before.
When there were no depths, I was brought forth, which there were no fountains abounding in the water, there I was. He was before Angels, He was before principalities of Angels, and all the other things. He was there first, the word was God in the beginning, and the word was with God.
Before the mountains were settled, before they even settled, before the hills, was I brought forth, before that.
While as yet He had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the earth.
All of God’s knowledge together is what wisdom is, in His word.
I wrote this, the inner depths of God’s spiritual being, Jesus was the word. As a baby, Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit wisdom. He was not conceived by the seed of man, but by the seed of wisdom, saith the Lord. Did not He go and come as I said? He was crucified, and raised again, and He brought salvation, He did not fail, perfect in the way that I sent. But they adjudged it differently, unbalanced, and so forth, but He was balanced perfectly in my will.
Wisdom brought forth the Messiah to His people. You say, when did that wisdom come forth? Eons of time, in the clouds of God, and the wisdom of the Almighty was there with Him, and there He was. The word, and the word was God, and God was with the word, working together in there, and the inner depths of God, is that wisdom in there, and it stays in there; so, inner depths of God’s spiritual being.
A compass upon the face of the deep, when He established the clouds above, when He strengthened the fountains of the deep, I was there, saw Him do it, giving wisdom.
When He gave to the sea His decree, that the waters should not pass His commandment, when He appointed the foundations of the earth, and He put forth the decree that it’s as far as it would go, and that the earth would settle for it was, I was there. Why? That was God, inner being of God, in His wisdom to make the earth the size that it was, to make the sea the size of it was, for this planet, and for this galaxy, and that wisdom was God’s thoughts in His power to bring it forth, and that it establishes the wisdom, is the inner spirit of God, establishing His will, and establishing His word, and establishing what He wants done in perfection, that He wants it done.
He can do it sometimes that it doesn’t look in perfection because He wants it that way, and one of them is the human being. He could have made you like an Angel, but He left off a little something in there, and you’re going to have to get it all back together to become like an Angel.
So, when He appointed the foundations of the earth and decreed it, I was there, because in His heart it’s what decreed it, what made it like it is, and how many times the moon comes up, the sun comes up; that was done by wisdom. He didn’t accidentally take a chance, it was weighed out, and it was done in perfection.
When I was by Him, as one brought up with Him, and I was daily His delight, rejoicing always before Him. God loves to see the things that He created. And His great inner wisdom of power, it’s all the same, the Holy Spirit, and wisdom in there, but it’s His workings to make those decisions, to make those precisions and appointments, and then stand back and see what a delight that I made.
Have you ever seen his Angels, have you ever seen them all together, have you ever seen Him change lights, and what they can do in different dimensions, and all the beauties that we’ve never seen before, and all of God’s manifold divine wisdom, which is utter perfection, which we have not been allowed to see yet? And you see all of it in perfect tune, not anything, everything is in perfection, where you’ll go and see it, as God shows it to you, and reveal it. Then it’s a great delight because it is in utter perfection. It is in precision; His angels are that way too.
Did you realize that? What wisdom it was that created those beautiful looking things, and those little Cherubims and Seraphims, and all of those that have chariots, and them that bring messages back and forth, and those that say Holy, Holy, before Him, and those that surround Him outward, and the Archangels, all of that that you don’t know, and many Angels are named different names that we don’t know about, and that God in His utter divine wisdom, within a circle, within a circle, within a circle, coming out, and all of that made into perfection, and then here comes man.
If you want to be perfect, if you want to go into perfection with God, then you receive salvation in your heart, and you listen to His divine wisdom, and you believe with your faith, and the power within your heart, and you’ll be changed, and then you’ll reach utter perfection as the Angels are, and you’ll be with Him then, and then you won’t age, then there’ll be no more sorrows, and there’ll be no more aging or old, or anything else in there.
Rejoicing in the habitable part of the earth, and my delights were with the sons of men. He delighted to be with the sons of men, and they turned Him down.
That the wisdom was with the Messiah, walking around His creation, and then, see, they throwed out the wisdom, and when they did, they throwed out God from their lives.
Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.
Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
The very heart of wisdom stood before them, the very inner part of God was standing there, covered up in flesh. Now remember, the woman carried Him, but remember, it was the seed of the Holy Spirit, this thing it called it, that’s what it said right there, the Holy Spirit seed, and there He was. The heart of God walking among mankind, and there was the heart of wisdom.
There was the wisdom of the ages; that’s the way He chose to do it. You might say, well, I could have a better way. You would be a fool, saith the Lord, there is no better way on this planet than what I chose for these people.
He knows what He’s doing no matter where He’s at, and the way that He created this planet, this type of human that He made here. Then He operates exactly what’s going to work, that will cause us to use our faith. They will be tested, there’ll be trials, there’ll be temptations, there’ll be all kinds of things, that you’re confronted with, but all of this was made so that it would work with His salvation, and that you would call upon Him, that you would need Him, that you would want Him, that you would allow Him to come and help you.
For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favor of the Lord.
But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul. All they that hate me, that is, divine wisdom, all they that hate divine wisdom love death.
You have to love wisdom and then wisdom loves you; it’s almost like having a friend.
Scripture Reading
“The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water. Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth: While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep: When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth: Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him”Proverbs 8: 22 – 30

“In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.”Colossians 1: 14 – 17

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”Romans 8: 28
I read from Special Writing # 036:
THE WILL OF GOD IN ONE’S LIFE
My letter of encouragement this time concerns the will of God in one’s life! Yes, the Lord knows you even more personally than you know yourself! In His infinite love and wisdom He has a plan for you and every person born in this world!
If you want to be perfect, if you want to go into perfection with God, then you receive salvation in your heart, and you listen to His divine wisdom, and you believe with your faith, and the power within your heart, and you’ll be changed, and then you’ll reach utter perfection as the Angels are, and you’ll be with Him then, and then you won’t age, then there’ll be no more sorrows, and there’ll be no more aging or old, or anything else in there.
When I was by Him, as one brought up with Him, and I was daily His delight, rejoicing always before Him. God loves to see the things that He created. And His great inner wisdom of power, it’s all the same, the Holy Spirit, and wisdom in there, but it’s His workings to make those decisions, to make those precisions and appointments, and then stand back and see what a delight that I made.
“I WILL bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.”Psalm 34: 1
You will be blessed.
