Proverbs 8:1-12  

Does not wisdom call out? Does not understanding raise her voice? On the heights along the way, where the paths meet, she takes her stand; beside the gates leading into the city, at the entrances, she cries aloud: "To you, O men, I call out; I raise my voice to all mankind. You who are simple, gain prudence; you who are foolish, gain understanding. Listen, for I have worthy things to say; I open my lips to speak what is right. My mouth speaks what is true, for my lips detest wickedness. All the words of my mouth are just; none of them is crooked or perverse. To the discerning all of them are right; they are faultless to those who have knowledge. Choose my instruction instead of silver, knowledge rather than choice gold, for wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare with her. "I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence; I possess knowledge and discretion.

"Does not wisdom cry aloud in the streets. Have you not heard its voice echoed throughout the streets? It cries aloud to both the young and to the old. Without Me you would come to ruin. I was established long before the earth was formed. I delight in those who delight in Me. I have a field bright and strong. It is plowed and it is ready. Everything is set and ready to be done. "

(The Lord showed me a scene where there were several people who were planting a field. There were perhaps 3-4 people who had seeds in their hands and they were tossing them into the ground for planting. I watched as several of these "seeds" fell into the rows where they were to be planted and sown. One of them had a pitcher and was tossing several of the seeds into one of the rows. Then yet another one, took a pitcher of water and was watering the seeds after they had been sown into the ground.) The Lord then said:

(This time the Lord showed me that the seeds had grown up and were now a type of ivy. The vines of this ivy had wound themselves around wooden stakes and had grown to a good size. I also noticed however, that there was a type of weed at the base of this ivy. They had broad leaves and were growing thickly at the base. Again the Lord now showed me several dark colored grapes. They were gathered together into clumps and were in the process of being taken to be made into wine. I then noticed that some of this wine was being poured into a glass. The person tasting this wine seemed to be very pleased with its aroma and flavor. It was a very good bouquet, and had the tint of a subtle rose color to it. I could almost taste the flavor of it as it passed the lips of the one who was drinking it. The glass was held high and I could see the crystal clarity of it as the light passed through it revealing all the various hues and colors of the glass and the wine. I then saw another person who was drinking wine but this one was guzzling it. It was in a different type of crude container and the wine was being spilt down his or her chin and face as it was being drunk. It obviously wasn't being "savored.")

"My dear people, this is an example of my wisdom. Some would savor it. Others would attempt to "use it all up." Drink of it, and savor its flavor. You need this wine of my wisdom at this time. It will guard you against the evil that is to come. It will strengthen you for the days that lie ahead. It will keep you in a safe place. It will guard your lips from folly. Take a draught of my wisdom. Then you will know what is the right way to go. "
