Dr. Mike Woods, Sr. explores spiritual intelligence as a higher wisdom that transcends ego and personal desire. He grounds the concept in Proverbs 3:6, arguing that acknowledging God opens you to divine guidance and qualities like wisdom, integrity, compassion, and peace that enhance your natural abilities.
Chapters
All right everybody, y'all come on in really quick. I pray everybody is well. This is the day the Lord has made and we rejoice and we are glad in it. Really quick tonight, I just want to drop something in your spirit before you lay down. Um, it's a powerful day we live in. There are so many opportunities for us to excel in the things of God, and I just want to open your mind a little bit tonight because wherever you are, I don't care if you're an apostle or archbishop, whatever you call yourself, there is more. There's a deeper dimension, there's a deeper depth glory to God, to your existence. And you have to learn to open those doors in the spirit and walk out what God has called you to do. So just for a few moments, I want to talk about spiritual intelligence. Um, spiritual intelligence really is a higher dimension of intelligence. Right, that goes beyond your ego, goes beyond your title. And this intelligence gives you access to divine qualities that you can manifest in your life, but you have to open yourself up and become acquiesced to it. Now let me give you a twist. Proverbs 3, and this is a scripture we quote all the time, it says, in all your ways Acknowledge God and he shall direct your path. Now watch this, that right there is a very basic principle to tapping in and walking out spiritual intelligence. So he says, in all your ways. So you got a choice now to live your ways according to your systems, your structures, your desires, how you want things done. But if you will learn to, in everything you do, acknowledge God. Watch, watch that word, acknowledge. Two words in there, acknowledge. Ack means to open up and become acquiesced to, to acquire and receive. So he says, now in everything that you do, open up, become acquiesced, receive his knowledge. Hear me, guys, and I'm gonna let y'all go to bed, but I had to drop this. I just, uh, matter of fact, I was teaching a class to my leaders, uh, yesterday, uh, because we were training the leaders at Rhoda Church, and emotional intelligence came up. And tonight I was doing counseling, and we got deeper into emotional intelligence, and the Lord started talking to me about spiritual intelligence. And the reality is, if in everything you do you become ac— acquiesce to his knowledge— acknowledge— which means you become acquiesce, you become one with his knowledge, with his desire, with his plan, with his way of doing and being right. Watch this. Now he says you will receive direction from God on your path. Wow. So wait a minute. That means you're not doing it by yourself once you totally accept and receive His intelligence, his knowledge. Again, spiritual intelligence is a higher dimension of knowledge that goes beyond your ego, your desire to control everything. But it taps you into the wisdom, the integrity, the compassion. Oh, glory to God. It taps you into the purpose, the creativity, and the peace of God. But in everything you do, though, You got to acknowledge him. So what am I saying? You got to stop leaving God out so you can live in a realm of supernatural and spiritual intelligence. Listen, when you tap into this place, there's a deep meaning, there's deep purpose. Oh my God. And it causes your skill set in where you— in the area you're called to become more clear and to become more great. The Bible saying, all your ways acknowledge, get intelligent, become acquiesce to him, and he shall direct your path. Listen, guys, I'm done. Y'all have a good night. Heaven smile upon you is my prayer. I love y'all. Y'all be blessed. Peace.
