What is a Word of Wisdom?

Purpose of This Training

This training equips believers to recognize, understand, and properly apply the Word of

Wisdom as a means of discerning how God communicates His instructions through the

Holy Spirit. Emphasis is placed on distinguishing worldly wisdom from spiritual

(supernatural) wisdom, and on applying divine wisdom in real-life situations.
