FJWL_02:84
The wisdom of man is foolishness with God, and he that thinks he can do God's work with the mind of man is a fool. He that thinks he can do these things in the arm of the flesh without giving Me the glory, without seeking Me for the answers, he it is that will fail.
I use the wisdom of man and the counsel of man, but I use it in conjunction with My Spirit and with those who pray and seek Me. Then can the wisdom of man be filtered through the Spirit. The Spirit filters out the impurities that are there, and then you can see the clear waters, that which is filtered through the Spirit of God.
Not all that man has to say is wrong or evil, for I have placed many things in the hearts of men. But these things must be filtered. They must be decided upon in prayer, in counsel, and in seeking Me.
