Your heart is where real wisdom lies

As I was walking to Sun Plaza yesterday, I was pondering on what I just wrote on wisdom. If being filled by the Holy Spirit gives you a brilliant mind and makes you extremely wise, then how do you become filled? The word heart was also something I've been thinking about after what Elaine told me the other day that wisdom is also translated as having a hearing heart when God asked Solomon what he wanted in a dream. Hmm..I thought that was quite interesting. That many times we associate wisdom with knowing rather than a heart issue.
Interestingly, when I stepped into a Christian bookshop with the intention of only browsing the books, I end up buying one and two mini book to make up for the $30 for a free membership card. The second book that I browse was with the title, "Discover the Keys to Staying Full of God".And of all pages, the first page it open up to was with the subheading "Perfect Wisdom" =) followed by..your heart is where the real wisdom lies. Everything I wanted to know. How not to buy haha~
Perfect Wisdom by Andrew Wommack
Your mind doesn't have near the capacity for understanding and processing things that your heart does. Your heart is where the real wisdom lies. As a born-again believer, you "have the mind of Christ"(1Cor2:16) and the Bible says to :
Put on the new man [your spirit man], which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him. Colossians 3:10
Even in the natural realm, experts say that we only use 10percent of our brian. I believe that if you were using 100percent of your brain, it still wouldn't be able to compete with just 10percent of your spiritual mind. Your spiritual mind has the mind of Christ in it!
Ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. 1 John 2:20
That's not talking about your natural mind. Your last test score proves that. It's your spirit--not your brain--that knows all things. In your born-again spirit, you have the perfect wisdom and mind of Christ. You know all things in your spirit. But if you allow your heart to be darkened, what good is all the wisdom and God speaking to you if you can't perceive it? God speaks to you through your heart
