COUNSEL A Gift of the Holy Spirit 2 Samuel 15:31 Now David had been told, "Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom." So David prayed, "O LORD, turn Ahithophel's counsel into foolishness." 1 Kings 22:5 But Jehoshaphat also said to the king of Israel, "First seek the counsel of the LORD." 2 Chronicles 18 4 But Jehoshaphat also said to the
king of Israel, "First seek the counsel of the LORD." 2 Chronicles 22 5 He also followed their counsel
when he went with Joram [1]
son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth Gilead. The
Arameans wounded Joram; 2 Chronicles 25 16 While he was still speaking, the
king said to him, "Have we appointed you an adviser to the king? Stop! Why be struck
down?" So the prophet stopped but said, "I know that God has determined to
destroy you, because you have done this and have not listened to my counsel." Ezra 10:3 Now let us make a covenant before our God to send away all these women and their children, in accordance with the counsel of my lord and of those who fear the commands of our God. Let it be done according to the Law. Job 12 13 "To God belong wisdom and
power; counsel and understanding are his. Job 21 16 But their prosperity is not in
their own hands, so I stand aloof from the counsel of the wicked. Job 22 18 Yet it was he who filled their
houses with good things, so I stand aloof from the counsel of the wicked. Job 29 21 "Men listened to me
expectantly, waiting in silence for my counsel. Job 38 2 "Who is this that darkens my
counsel with words without knowledge? Job 42 3 You asked,] `Who is this that
obscures my counsel without knowledge?' Surely I spoke of things I did not understand,
things too wonderful for me to know. Psalms 32 8 I will instruct you and teach you
in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you. Psalms 73 24 You guide me with your counsel, and
afterward you will take me into glory. Psalms 106 13 But they soon forgot what he had
done and did not wait for his counsel. Psalms 107 11 for they had rebelled against the words of God and despised the counsel of the Most High. Proverbs 8 14 Counsel and sound judgment are mine;
I have understanding and power. Proverbs 15 22 Plans fail for lack of counsel, but
with many advisers they succeed. Proverbs 22 20 Have I not written thirty sayings
for you, sayings of counsel and knowledge, Proverbs 27 9 Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart, and the pleasantness of one's friend springs from his earnest counsel. Isaiah 11 2 The Spirit of the LORD will rest
on him-- the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power,
the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD-- Isaiah 16 3 "Give us counsel, render a
decision. Make your shadow like night-- at high noon. Hide the fugitives, do not betray
the refugees.
Isaiah 28 29 All this also comes from the LORD
Almighty, wonderful in counsel and magnificent in wisdom. Isaiah 41 28 I look but there is no one-- no
one among them to give counsel, no one to give answer when I ask them. Isaiah 45 21 Declare what is to be, present
it-- let them take counsel together. Who foretold this long ago, who declared it from the
distant past? Was it not I, the LORD? And there is no God apart from me, a righteous God
and a Savior; there is none but me. Isaiah 47 13 All the counsel you have received
has only worn you out! Let your astrologers come forward, those stargazers who make
predictions month by month, let them save you from what is coming upon you. Jeremiah 18 18 They said, "Come, let's make
plans against Jeremiah; for the teaching of the law by the priest will not be lost, nor
will counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophets. So come, let's attack him with
our tongues and pay no attention to anything he says." Jeremiah 38 15 Jeremiah said to Zedekiah,
"If I give you an answer, will you not kill me? Even if I did give you counsel, you
would not listen to me." Jeremiah 49 7 Concerning Edom: This is what the
LORD Almighty says: "Is there no longer wisdom in Teman? Has counsel perished from
the prudent? Has their wisdom decayed? Ezekiel
7:26 Calamity upon calamity will come, and rumor upon rumor. They will try to get a vision from the prophet; the teaching of the law by the priest will be lost, as will the counsel of the elders. Hosea 10:6 It will be carried to Assyria as tribute for the great king. Ephraim will be disgraced;
Israel will be ashamed of its wooden idols. 1
Timothy 5:14 So I counsel younger widows to marry, to have children, to manage their homes and to give the enemy no opportunity for slander. Revelation
3:8 I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. |
