In This Hour, Don\u2019t Pray for Stuff \u2013 Pray for Solomon\u2019s Wisdom<\/a><\/p>\n

I want to talk to you today about something the Kingdom has been pressing on my heart for this exact hour we\u2019re living in: wisdom. Not the kind of \u201cwisdom\u201d the world celebrates, not clever words or head knowledge or knowing the latest headlines, but the kind of wisdom that comes straight from the throne of God and rearranges what you ask for, what you value, and how you move in these last days. And to get there, we have to look at a man named Solomon.<\/p>\n

I want you to picture this scene with me. Solomon is young. The weight of a whole nation has just been dropped onto his shoulders. His father David, the warrior king, is gone. The people are watching. The throne is his, but the shoes feel too big. He goes up to Gibeon, the great high place, and the Bible says he offers a thousand burnt offerings on that altar (1 Kings 3). That is not casual. That is not half-hearted. That is costly, deliberate, sacrificial worship. Out of that sacrifice, out of that place of surrendered worship, something happens. That night the Lord appears to Solomon in a dream and says, \u201cAsk what I shall give thee\u201d (1 Kings 3:5). Imagine God Himself asking you that. No limit. No cap. No conditions. Just: \u201cAsk Me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now be honest with yourself for a moment. If God came to you in the middle of the night and said, \u201cAsk Me for anything,\u201d what would you ask for? Would it be money? A financial breakthrough? The wiping out of your debt? Healing in your body? Protection for your family? A bigger platform? Vindication in front of the people who doubted you? Solomon could\u2019ve asked for any of those things. He had enemies. He had threats. He had real needs. But he didn\u2019t ask for a bigger army. He didn\u2019t ask to be the richest man on earth. He didn\u2019t even ask for long life.<\/p>\n

Solomon said something most of the Church doesn\u2019t even think to pray: \u201cGive therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad\u201d (1 Kings 3:9). In other words, \u201cGod, I don\u2019t trust my own judgment in this hour. I don\u2019t trust my own eyes. I don\u2019t trust my own opinions. I am asking You for a listening heart. I\u2019m asking You for Your wisdom.\u201d And the Bible says this pleased the Lord. God literally tells him, because you didn\u2019t ask for long life, or riches, or the life of your enemies, but asked for understanding to discern judgment, I\u2019m going to give you what you asked for, and on top of that I\u2019m going to give you what you didn\u2019t ask for: riches, honor, and a name like no other king in your day (1 Kings 3:11\u201313).<\/p>\n

There is a pattern hidden here that the Remnant needs to grab hold of in this season. When you chase things, you lose peace. When you chase Him and His wisdom, He can trust you with things. The Word of God says, \u201cWisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding\u201d (Proverbs 4:7). This generation has been trained to \u201cget\u201d a lot of things. Get the bag. Get the house. Get the status. Get the followers. Get the platform. Get the information. But the Bible does not say, \u201cAbove all, get money.\u201d It doesn\u2019t say, \u201cAbove all, get comfort.\u201d It says, \u201cAbove all, get wisdom.\u201d If wisdom is the principal thing, that means everything else is secondary.<\/p>\n

The problem is, we have confused information with wisdom. We live in a time where you can pull up ten opinions in ten seconds. You can binge watch prophecy videos. You can list every conspiracy theory. You can know the names of every politician, every crisis, every war, every rumor, and still not carry one drop of the wisdom that Solomon cried out for. Information tells you what is happening. Wisdom tells you how Heaven wants you to respond. Information can puff you up and make you feel like you \u201cknow something.\u201d Wisdom puts you on your face and makes you tremble before a holy God. Because the Bible says, \u201cThe fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom\u201d (Proverbs 9:10). Not the fear of the government, not the fear of the beast system, not the fear of being left behind, but the fear of the Lord<\/a>. If it doesn\u2019t start there, it isn\u2019t wisdom from above.<\/p>\n

Now let me say this with throne room clarity: Solomon is both an invitation and a warning. We love to talk about his wisdom, his wealth, and his glory, and it\u2019s true\u2014God exalted him. The nations came to hear him. Queens traveled with caravans of gold and spices just to sit at his feet. Silver was as common as stones in Jerusalem in his day (1 Kings 10). He had what everyone in this world is chasing: wisdom, wealth, honor, and influence. But the same Solomon who asked God for an understanding heart later allowed his own heart to be divided. The Bible says Solomon loved many strange women who served other gods, and that his wives turned away his heart after other gods, and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God (1 Kings 11). It didn\u2019t happen overnight. It was a slow drift. A compromise here. A tolerance there. A little mixture here. A little idolatry there. The man who once asked for wisdom began to live like he didn\u2019t need it anymore.<\/p>\n

That is the warning for us. Wisdom is powerful, but wisdom without ongoing obedience will still destroy you. You can start in humility and end in idolatry if you stop fearing the Lord. You can begin as a Solomon at Gibeon and end as a Solomon building high places for idols if you let your heart drift. So when I say to you that the Remnant needs to ask for wisdom right now, I\u2019m not just talking about a nice prayer to add to your list. I\u2019m talking about a radical repositioning of your heart. I\u2019m talking about asking God to make you the kind of person He can trust with understanding and revelation without you drifting into pride, compromise, or self-reliance.<\/p>\n

Why does this matter so much right now, in this prophetic season, with everything we\u2019re seeing and feeling in the spirit? Because the shaking is here and more is coming, and in the coming months wisdom is going to be more valuable than money in the bank, more valuable than a title, more valuable than your favorite influencer\u2019s opinion. You are surrounded by voices. Pulpits, platforms, podcasts, group chats, and even your own thought life are noisy. Jesus warned that many false prophets and false christs would arise and deceive many (Matthew 24). Not everyone who says \u201cJesus\u201d or \u201cYeshua\u201d or \u201cprophetic word\u201d is carrying His heart. Without wisdom, you will be tossed between fear and hype, between extremes and confusion. With wisdom, you will be anchored. You will test the spirits. You will measure everything by the written Word. You will feel that check in your spirit when something sounds right but doesn\u2019t carry the fragrance of Christ.<\/p>\n

Wisdom will also be critical in how you steward what you have. As systems shake, some will hoard, some will bow down to money out of fear, some will sell their convictions to keep their comforts. But the Remnant is not called to panic; the Remnant is called to steward. That means you will need wisdom to know when to save and when to sow, when to store and when to share, when to say yes and when to say no. It\u2019s not about becoming a doomsday prepper; it\u2019s about being a Spirit-led steward who refuses to be driven by anxiety. Wisdom from above will show you how to prepare without partnering with a spirit of fear.<\/p>\n

And as lawlessness increases, as Jesus said it would, the love of many will grow cold (Matthew 24:12). You\u2019re going to need wisdom to keep your heart alive in love. Wisdom to guard your heart without hardening it. Wisdom to set boundaries without becoming bitter. Wisdom to confront sin without losing compassion. Wisdom to protect your home and your family while still shining as a light to those who are lost and terrified. James 3:17 says the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. That kind of wisdom doesn\u2019t just make you \u201cright\u201d; it makes you look more like Yeshua.<\/p>\n

So I want to talk straight to you now. Some of us have been praying like consumers instead of sons and daughters of the King. \u201cGod, give me money. God, give me a house. God, give me a spouse. God, give me a sign. God, fix this situation. God, take away this discomfort.\u201d And God is merciful. He knows our needs. But what if Heaven is waiting for us to shift the core of our prayer? What if, like Solomon, we stopped centering our prayers on what we want Him to change around us and started crying out for Him to change what\u2019s in us? What if our cry sounded more like, \u201cLord, I confess I don\u2019t know how to lead myself, my family, or anyone else without You. I do not trust my own wisdom. I do not trust my own understanding. I am asking You for an understanding heart. I am asking You for wisdom from above. Teach me to discern what is You and what is not. Teach me to walk in righteousness when the world is losing its mind. Give me the fear of the Lord back in my bones.\u201d<\/p>\n

The beautiful thing is, God has already given us a promise for this hour. James 1:5 says, \u201cIf any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.\u201d That is not a suggestion; that is a promise. You don\u2019t need a title or a ministry or a seminary degree to qualify for this. You need to open your mouth and ask. You need to admit that you lack wisdom, that you need Him, that you cannot navigate what is coming in your own understanding. The moment you do that in sincerity and faith, Heaven leans in. The same God who visited Solomon in the night is listening to your whisper right now.<\/p>\n

So if this is hitting your spirit, I want you, right where you are, to make this your prayer: \u201cFather, in the name of Yeshua, I come to You like Solomon did. I acknowledge that on my own I am not wise enough for this hour. I don\u2019t know how to lead my life, my family, or anyone You\u2019ve entrusted to me without You. I repent for chasing things more than I\u2019ve chased Your wisdom. I repent for praying like a consumer instead of a son, instead of a daughter. Today I am asking You for an understanding heart. Give me wisdom from above. Give me the fear of the Lord. Teach me to discern between good and evil, truth and almost-truth. Guard me from pride, from compromise, and from drifting like Solomon did in his later days. Make me faithful to the end. Position me, protect me, and prepare me for the soon return of Yeshua by clothing me in Your wisdom. In Yeshua\u2019s name, amen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Remnant, this is the hour not just to know what is happening, but to know the heart of the One who sits on the throne. Ask Him for wisdom. Ask Him for a listening heart. And then walk it out in obedience, day by day, until the King returns.<\/p>\n
