There is devilish wisdom, and there is Godly wisdom.
Wisdom from God is not the sword swung to kill the body, but the surgeon’s sword skillfully used to cut cancer out of the Body.
Wisdom from God is not the hypocrite that picks a side, but instead it picks up the sword of the Lord (the Word of God) that cuts both ways. True wisdom’s agenda is not for itself, or for a specific group of men, or an earthly minded purpose, but for the will of God.
Wisdom from God comes from a gentle Spirit and answers questions, and it’s end goal is to see purity, to see the fruits of love, and to be a peacemaker. It doesn’t “keep peace” with wickedness, it “makes peace” with righteousness.
James 3
15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
