Christian Warrior Mission trains believers to stand firm in a collapsing world.
We are a discipleship ministry, home-based warrior church, and working farm that comes alongside local churches—not to replace them, but to strengthen them by equipping men and women to lead, protect, provide, and disciple according to God’s Word.
We train across the Seven Battlefields:
Faith • Family • Fitness • Fundamentals • Finances • Fellowship • Fidelity
This is not a place for spectators, excuses, or passive Christianity.
This is where believers learn to pick up the Sword of Scripture, fortify their households, and lock shields with other warriors in Christ.
We build households that stand. We strengthen churches. We prepare saints for real-world battle.
No retreat. No surrender. Christ is King.
Join our Live Warrior Church Service Tuesday Nights at 8 pm EST on X, YouTube, Facebook, Rumble, and LinkedIn.
Daily Bible Studies Monday- Friday on X, YouTube, Facebook, Rumble, and LinkedIn
About the Host:
Jason Perry — former Navy SEAL, SWAT officer, and paramedic; CEO of Trident Shield; Pastor of Christian Warrior Church. From a 44-acre homestead, Jason trains believers to meet spiritual and practical threats with courage, clarity, and a shepherd’s heart.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Good morning everyone .
I'm just going to get a soundcheck before we get going here.
Pardon me, let's see my video.
All right, hello, good morningand welcome to your Daily Battle
, a Bible study where we fightthree fights, monday through
Friday.
Your daily battle Bible studywhere we fight three fights
(00:51):
Monday through Friday.
One we fight to get a humble andgrateful heart, checking our
entitlements and our pityparties at the door.
We all have, we all suffer, weall struggle, we all have things
that are bad in our life, butwe have infinitely more
blessings.
We need to be grateful for them.
This helps us to get us in theproper alignment with God,
(01:17):
meaning grateful for God.
Too often we come with aChristmas list wish of things
for God to do us with, rub ourmagic genie.
Good morning, my love.
And that is not the properalignment.
We honor and glorify himbecause he is worthy, because he
(01:42):
is worthy.
Two, we deliberately pursue arelationship with God by
studying his scripture.
What does he say about himselfand how do we get to know him?
By doing that, and that's howwe get to know him.
By doing that and that's how weget to know him.
But we also do it throughprayer.
And lastly, the third battle iswe go to war for one another
(02:03):
with prayer or protection andpeace.
And I should add wisdom to thattoo.
And why do I call these battles?
Because everything you're goingto find that everything is a
battle.
Getting out of bed is a battle,making the right decisions at
just about any decision treeother than what I want.
(02:27):
Even food choices can be abattle.
Right, healthy versus unhealthy, you're warring with
consequences and often evilitself evil of our own hearts,
(02:48):
the self-destructiveness of ourhearts, the drive for
self-suicide that so many of ushave by punishing and trying to
destroy ourselves with ourhabits and our bad habits.
And then making time to put Godfirst is a battle, because all
(03:10):
of us want to get up and want toget on our phones and check the
news, we want to check socialmedia, play our games, whatever
it is.
By getting up and sharing yourfirst cup of coffee with God,
you are prioritizing your lifein a way that is hard to beat.
(03:34):
It aligns your first minute ofyour day, your first moments of
the day, with our heavenly king,and that is worth doing and
that will set you up to success.
And the more you're going tofind you know we're in Proverbs
is worth doing and that will setyou up for success All right.
And the more you're going tofind you know we're in Proverbs,
(03:57):
which is basically wisdomYou're going to find.
The more time you spend in theBible, the better off you're
going to do emotionally,spiritually, 100% and the more
will be revealed to you.
In the beginning, when I startedreading my bible, depending on
(04:20):
which texts, which translationof your reading king james, or
standard or legacy standard, um,a standard or legacy standard,
um.
There's times where it justbounces off your head, it's just
not clear to you.
And all of a sudden, keepreading and reading and it's
(04:49):
like a fog is lifted.
You're actually able to seewhat's going on in the pages,
what God is revealing to you.
That's what we call revealing.
Once that happens to you, onceyou'll get it, you'll get it.
I'm not saying it's amiraculous thing.
It may be a miraculous thingSometimes.
It's just something in yourlife, your experience, which
(05:10):
brought the proper context ofthe text forward to you, so that
now you're like, ah, that'swhat they're talking about, the
best example of this that I canthink of for me, or one of the
examples I don't know if it'sthe best.
But one of the examples that Ihad was reading through the Old
(05:33):
Testament and you know thesacrifices of the animals and
not being, you know, a hunter oranything like that time.
It all just bounced off meuntil I became a farmer and good
(05:56):
morning, tanya.
Until I became a farmer and nowI'm processing my own animals.
You know, I'm processing 70chickens in a day and what that
looks like, what that looks like, that smells like, and
processing large animals likehogs, bull, you know, and cows.
(06:24):
Thinking about what that musthave been like, really put it in
the whole context, and thenbeing a farmer, knowing how much
it costs to raise a bull, toraise chickens, and you know
(06:45):
again, seeing thecounterintuitiveness of you know
, when you're doing herdmanagement, you're trying to
keep the best bloodline foryourself because you want those
genetics to be passed on.
Here we're always being calledto sacrifice the best of our
animals.
(07:05):
Damn, and it just reallyhammered home the ancient world,
the true cost, like I know whata cow cost me.
Now I'm having to sacrifice abull or lamb or all these
different, all the way down tograin offerings, because they
(07:31):
were so poor the Bible built inbased upon.
You know, if you're wealthy youwere doing a bowl.
If you were poor, you might bedoing a grain offering because
all you can afford is some flour.
The cost of sin hit me, what itwas to these people to get clean
(07:55):
, and then I was able tocontrast that with but some
mistakenly think that the lackof cost to us to get right with
God now you know, we just praythat that is the wrong way to
(08:16):
think of it the supreme costthat was paid when God
sacrificed his own son to dothat, which is infinitely,
infinity times, infinity times,infinity times, infinity, more
costly than all those animals.
And until I had that context, Ireally didn't have the teeth
(08:46):
and I didn't understand it asmuch.
Again, please forgive myinadequacy in explaining that
stuff, but I just wanted to givean example of something as it
was revealed to me when I readit over and over and over.
And then, all of a sudden, thelife experience compounded with
the Holy Spirit, revealing to methe true context of it.
So, all right, today we'regoing to be.
(09:10):
Let me pray our first prayer in.
Let's get our first battle on.
Let's get a humble and gratefulheart aligned onto the Lord.
Okay, dear Heavenly Father,king of the Universe, we thank
you.
We thank you for yourprotections through the night.
(09:38):
Thank you for the blessing ofbeing given another day to get
it right, another day to die toself and become more like you.
Lord, we thank you for all theblessings and protections that
we know about and don't evenknow about.
Thank you for all the blessingsand protections that we know
about and don't even know aboutthe seven trillions upon
trillions of cells in our bodiesthat had to work near perfect
(09:59):
just for us to even be here.
Lord, we thank you.
We thank you for your commongrace, lord, and your divine.
We'll start with your commongrace, god.
And how amazing it is.
Thank you for your creation theheavens, the stars, the sun and
(10:24):
the moon.
Thank you for this earth.
Thank you for everything fromthe tallest peak mountains, the
lowest depths of the ocean andeverything in between All the
creatures, plant life, all of it.
(10:47):
Lord, thank you for sunrisesand sunsets.
Thank you for a cool breeze, ahot day like today, or a warm
fire, a cold day.
Thank you for the sounds ofbirds in the morning, oceans or
(11:13):
waves breaking on the shore,children's laughter.
Thank you for the taste of goodfood, good drink.
Thank you for all the people inour lives.
Lord, we ask that you would helpus to be present, not
(11:37):
distracted, and treasure everymoment we have with anyone,
because you may call them homeat any moment.
Help us to leave nothing unsaid.
Most of all, we thank you foryour divine grace choosing us,
before the foundations of theworld, to be yours, your elect
(12:00):
God.
You chose us while we werestill your enemies, lord.
You knitted us together in ourmother's wombs.
You made us exactly who we aretoday, everything from our taste
buds to our favorite colors.
(12:21):
You called us home to you andwe thank you for that, lord.
So we pray now that this timethat we spend together would
honor you, glorify you and honoryou, and it would please you.
(12:44):
Well, give us the sermon todayto pull your wisdom and
understanding of the text.
Help my inadequate self.
Help somebody understand whatit is you're trying to
communicate.
I pray all these things inJesus' name, amen.
(13:10):
All right, everyone.
Hey, captain Caveman, good tosee you Really enjoy seeing
everyone.
Hey, kevin K man, good to seeyou Really enjoy seeing you
every morning.
Brother, it's good to see youback.
Okay, so let's get into this.
All right, so we are in chapter7.
(13:38):
Now, in seven chapters, solomonor someone under the Holy Spirit
is believed to have beenSolomon.
This one here it's believed tobe King Solomon, of course under
the inspiration of the HolySpirit.
The date would be 960 to 930 BC, early reign.
(14:06):
You're going to see, this isthe last of the fatherly.
My son, proverbs of thefatherly.
You know, my son, um Proverbs,okay, and in seven chapters,
four of them are to avoidadultery and tempting.
That's not temptation ofadultery.
That is not by accident, okay,that is not by accident.
(14:30):
So you know again, um, whetherthis you know, know, as we read
this, you're gonna see it'sSolomon painting an example.
We don't think it's, don'tthink it's actually true, unless
it was Solomon himself doingthis and leaving as an example,
(14:55):
which say no one recommend thator something he observed.
But there's no way he didn'tknow what they would say unless
he was really close.
But what he's going to paint.
And again, it's no accidentwhen we see how much that
(15:19):
infidelity.
Before I was a true Christian.
I was guilty of this the dayslong.
Thank God, he saved me andchanged my heart.
He gave me an amazing wife.
Thank God, he saved me andchanged my heart, amazing wife.
(15:44):
But you know, as you see this,we encounter this every day and,
yes, this here is towardsadultery and this here is
towards you know, know, isspeaking directly to that, but
it applies to all temptationsand how it works, the anatomy of
it, whisperings of how greatit'll be, whether it's drugs or
(16:07):
whatever addiction that you'regoing to talk about, this
applies to that.
This is just a.
Since the beginning of time, menand women have been breaking
each other.
Since Eve tempted Adam.
(16:28):
Well, when Eve well, actually,I wouldn't say tempted I believe
in the Garden of Eden and I'vetalked about this before in
other studies that adam wasnever deceived by the, uh, by
the serpent.
Eve had taken and eaten and Ibelieve he chose eve over god
and that sin that he chose, um,you know, his wife over God, and
(16:56):
, knowing that she was going todie and that she had defiled God
, that he chose to be with herinstead of God.
That's the great sin and whywe've been warring with each
other since then.
So let's get into this, let'sget into chapter 7, and you'll
see a very vivid picture paintedand you can understand what's
(17:20):
going on here.
Okay, the word's good, theadulteress is trapped.
My son, keep my words andtreasure my commandments within
you.
Keep my commandments and livemy law as the apple of your eye.
Bind them to your finger, writethem on the tablet of your
(17:44):
heart.
Say to wisdom you are my sister.
Call understanding yourintimate friend in order to keep
you from the strange woman,from the foreign woman who
flatters with her words.
For at the window of my house,I looked out through my lattice
(18:09):
and I saw, among the simple anddiscerned, among the sons of
young men lacking a heart ofwisdom Again, I'll read that and
I saw, among the simple anddiscerned among the sons, a
young man lacking a heart ofwisdom, passing through the
(18:30):
street near her corner and hestrides along the way to her
house in the twilight theevening of that day, in the
middle of the night, in thethick of darkness, and behold, a
woman comes to meet him.
So here is a man, young man,going to a married woman's house
(18:54):
, okay, young man going to amarried woman's house, okay,
watching him skip along like ayou know, like a child, into
this trap.
Behold, a woman comes to meethim, dressed as as a harlot and
(19:14):
cunning of heart.
She's dressed very revealingand tempting, not humbly.
She is boisterous andrebellious.
Her feet do not dwell at home,meaning that she spends all of
her time away from home anddoing things other than taking
(19:35):
care of her home and temptingall those around her seeking to
drag them down, stepping in thestreets, stepping in the squares
(21:09):
.
Near every corner she lies inwait.
So she seizes him and kisseshim with a brazen face.
She says to him now, here isthe.
We're actually mocking god.
Sacrifices of peace offeringsare with me.
(21:31):
Today.
I paid my vow, so she's sayingshe is basically preemptively
sacrificed so that she can dothis.
So she's right with God, whichis wrong.
Therefore, I have come out tomeet you, to seek your face
earnestly, and I have found you.
What man doesn't want to hearthese things?
(21:53):
You are desired.
Women want to be desired.
Men want to be respected.
Men want to be desired.
Men want to be respected.
Men want to be desired, youknow, as men, with their
(22:17):
testosterone and their emotionalwell-being, you know we're not
pretty like women.
We just aren't.
Women are beautiful, god'sgreatest creation In the eyes of
men.
Men want to be desired.
They want a woman to flatterthem, make them feel like
(22:41):
they're special.
All of us want that here.
I've come out to meet you.
I've come to find you, seekyour face, and I have found you.
Not only this I have spread mycouch with coverings, colored
(23:02):
linens of Egypt.
I have made my bed a palaceComfortable, amazing places.
But it gets better.
I have sprinkled my bed withmyrrh and aloes and cinnamon, so
it smells amazing.
It'll be like heaven for you.
Come, let us drink our fellow'slovers until the morning.
(23:25):
Let us delight ourselves withthe pleasure of love.
Okay.
All that stuff every man wantsto hear, wants to hear it with
their very down to their verycore.
Okay, but it's not love.
(23:47):
This here is passion, yes,which can be a side effect of
love.
But the next line is thedevastation.
Well, my husband is not at home.
He has gone on a journey faraway.
He took a bag of silver in hishand On the day of the full moon
(24:11):
.
He will come home.
He's going to be gone a month.
So everything up to that pointright, is setting the trap.
And then there there is thetruth of the matter.
He's not hers, she's not his.
(24:33):
She is another man's wife.
This is now death.
I've come in.
I look beautiful, it looks good, smells good, tastes good,
everything they're going tofeast, they're going to make
love all night.
Which doesn't want to do that?
And then, at the last, here'sthe consequence I'm not yours,
(25:00):
I'm someone else's, and to dothis is death, is what he should
be hearing.
So it goes back to the observing, verse 11.
Sorry, verse 21, I apologize.
With her abundant persuasion,she entices him With her
(25:25):
flattering lips, she drives himto herself and then, caught, he
suddenly follows her as an ox,goes to slaughter, or as one in
fetters to the discipline of anignorant fool, until an arrow
pierces through his liver, as abird, hastens into a snare or a
(25:48):
net, and he does not know thatit will cost him his soul.
So now, my sons, listen to meand pay attention to the words
of my mom.
Do not let your heart go astrayin her ways.
Do not wander into her pathways, for many are slain when she is
(26:12):
cast down and numerous are allthose killed by her.
This isn't her first time.
It won't be her last.
Ways of Sheol are in her.
Ways of the underworld Are inher house, descending Chambers
(26:34):
of death.
Again, we see the clearinstruction to avoid the
temptation of this.
Avoid even walking near herhouse.
Don't even look at her.
Catch her eyes because youmight not be strong enough to
(26:58):
deny that temptation.
This is why we have buddysystems.
You go out with your people tomake sure that you don't.
You go out with otherChristians and temptation washes
up on your shore.
Now you have somebody with youto watch your blind spots,
(27:26):
because you will lie and deceiveyourself.
Oh, I'm just going to try tohelp that girl find Jesus.
I'm going to help that guy findJesus.
I'm going to put him on theright path when only you're
going to be dragged down to hell.
Highway to hell is paved withgood intentions, with our own
(27:52):
wisdom, not with God's.
So again, I can't think of aclearer example of an adequate
(28:16):
description of a lot oftemptation sin as a cobra.
Paul Washer talking about that,and you've heard me talk about
it in others.
There's a great sermon wherehe's talking about walking
through jungles and up pops acobra, and when that happens,
you've got a few seconds todecide.
If you have a machete in yourhand, to cut the head off of it
and kill the sin, or turn awayand run from it.
You don't sit there.
Talk to it.
(28:37):
Sit there and study it.
You don't sit there and do anyof those things because if you
do, too often we want to lingeraround our sin and very rarely
does that ever work out well inour favor.
(28:58):
It almost always leads tocatastrophe.
Go ahead and pray out.
It's almost at the bottom ofthe hour.
Go ahead and pray it out andfight our third battle.
I pray for one another.
Heavenly Father, lord, I thankyou.
I thank you for everyone whojoined me this morning and
watches this now or later.
Lord, I thank you for theinvestment we're all making in
(29:25):
one another, investment in you.
We're all making, lord, thewisest of investments.
Lord, I pray that your holytext today prevents somebody
from stumbling and falling intothe trap of temptation, but I
(29:51):
pray that we would now lock ourshields of faith around each
other and provide cover for oneanother, strengthen us, protect
us from the temptations of thisworld.
We now intercede on eachother's behalf with protection,
(30:12):
discernment and wisdom and peace.
I pray this for this fellowship, the persecuted church, our
troops overseas and our firstresponders at home, veterans of
yesteryear, our country.
(30:33):
I also pray for my belovedAmerica that she would turn from
her sin, hit her knees, repentand seek your face, that you
would see her and heal her, sothat we would once again become
one nation under God,indivisible, with liberty and
(30:55):
justice for all.
I call this fellowship toattention to put on the full
armor of God, strap on theshield of faith, pick up the
sword of the Spirit and boldlywalk forward to join the shield
wall, walking shields to theleft and right as we march
(31:18):
forward to take ground for yourkingdom, your glory, mighty name
.
I pray all this in the mightyname of all names, in the name
of Jesus, amen.
All right, everyone.
God bless you.
I hope you have an amazing dayand I will see you tomorrow.
Remember, wednesday night, 9 pm,eastern Standard Time.
(31:39):
I'm going to start hyping.

(32:09):
be doing at the 90 day, 90 daynon 30 day, 90 day challenge.
We have coming up disciplingchallenge come out.
So I can't wait see you thereand great to actually talk more
back and forth.

God bless you.
Good morning everyone .
I'm just going to get a soundcheck before we get going here.

Getting out of bed is a battle,making the right decisions at

stuff, but I just wanted to givean example of something as it
was revealed to me when I readit over and over and over.
And then, all of a sudden, thelife experience compounded with
the Holy Spirit, revealing to methe true context of it.
So, all right, today we'regoing to be.
(09:10):
Let me pray our first prayer in.
Let's get our first battle on.
Let's get a humble and gratefulheart aligned onto the Lord.
Okay, dear Heavenly Father,king of the Universe, we thank
you.
We thank you for yourprotections through the night.
(09:38):
Thank you for the blessing ofbeing given another day to get
it right, another day to die toself and become more like you.
Lord, we thank you for all theblessings and protections that
we know about and don't evenknow about.
Thank you for all the blessingsand protections that we know
about and don't even know aboutthe seven trillions upon
trillions of cells in our bodiesthat had to work near perfect
(09:59):
just for us to even be here.
Lord, we thank you.
We thank you for your commongrace, lord, and your divine.
We'll start with your commongrace, god.
And how amazing it is.
Thank you for your creation theheavens, the stars, the sun and
(10:24):
the moon.
Thank you for this earth.
Thank you for everything fromthe tallest peak mountains, the
lowest depths of the ocean andeverything in between All the
creatures, plant life, all of it.
(10:47):
Lord, thank you for sunrisesand sunsets.
Thank you for a cool breeze, ahot day like today, or a warm
fire, a cold day.
Thank you for the sounds ofbirds in the morning, oceans or
(11:13):
waves breaking on the shore,children's laughter.
Thank you for the taste of goodfood, good drink.
Thank you for all the people inour lives.
Lord, we ask that you would helpus to be present, not
(11:37):
distracted, and treasure everymoment we have with anyone,
because you may call them homeat any moment.
Help us to leave nothing unsaid.
Most of all, we thank you foryour divine grace choosing us,
before the foundations of theworld, to be yours, your elect
(12:00):
God.
You chose us while we werestill your enemies, lord.
You knitted us together in ourmother's wombs.
You made us exactly who we aretoday, everything from our taste
buds to our favorite colors.
(12:21):
You called us home to you andwe thank you for that, lord.
So we pray now that this timethat we spend together would
honor you, glorify you and honoryou, and it would please you.
(12:44):
Well, give us the sermon todayto pull your wisdom and
understanding of the text.
Help my inadequate self.
Help somebody understand whatit is you're trying to
communicate.
I pray all these things inJesus' name, amen.
(13:10):
All right, everyone.
Hey, captain Caveman, good tosee you Really enjoy seeing
everyone.
Hey, kevin K man, good to seeyou Really enjoy seeing you
every morning.
Brother, it's good to see youback.
Okay, so let's get into this.
All right, so we are in chapter7.
(13:38):
Now, in seven chapters, solomonor someone under the Holy Spirit
is believed to have beenSolomon.
This one here it's believed tobe King Solomon, of course under
the inspiration of the HolySpirit.
The date would be 960 to 930 BC, early reign.
(14:06):
You're going to see, this isthe last of the fatherly.
My son, proverbs of thefatherly.
You know, my son, um Proverbs,okay, and in seven chapters,
four of them are to avoidadultery and tempting.
That's not temptation ofadultery.
That is not by accident, okay,that is not by accident.
(14:30):
So you know again, um, whetherthis you know, know, as we read
this, you're gonna see it'sSolomon painting an example.
We don't think it's, don'tthink it's actually true, unless
it was Solomon himself doingthis and leaving as an example,
(14:55):
which say no one recommend thator something he observed.
But there's no way he didn'tknow what they would say unless
he was really close.
But what he's going to paint.
And again, it's no accidentwhen we see how much that
(15:19):
infidelity.
Before I was a true Christian.
I was guilty of this the dayslong.
Thank God, he saved me andchanged my heart.
He gave me an amazing wife.
Thank God, he saved me andchanged my heart, amazing wife.
(15:44):
But you know, as you see this,we encounter this every day and,
yes, this here is towardsadultery and this here is
towards you know, know, isspeaking directly to that, but
it applies to all temptationsand how it works, the anatomy of
it, whisperings of how greatit'll be, whether it's drugs or
(16:07):
whatever addiction that you'regoing to talk about, this
applies to that.
This is just a.
Since the beginning of time, menand women have been breaking
each other.
Since Eve tempted Adam.
(16:28):
Well, when Eve well, actually,I wouldn't say tempted I believe
in the Garden of Eden and I'vetalked about this before in
other studies that adam wasnever deceived by the, uh, by
the serpent.
Eve had taken and eaten and Ibelieve he chose eve over god
and that sin that he chose, um,you know, his wife over God, and
(16:56):
, knowing that she was going todie and that she had defiled God
, that he chose to be with herinstead of God.
That's the great sin and whywe've been warring with each
other since then.
So let's get into this, let'sget into chapter 7, and you'll
see a very vivid picture paintedand you can understand what's
(17:20):
going on here.
Okay, the word's good, theadulteress is trapped.
My son, keep my words andtreasure my commandments within
you.
Keep my commandments and livemy law as the apple of your eye.
Bind them to your finger, writethem on the tablet of your
(17:44):
heart.
Say to wisdom you are my sister.
Call understanding yourintimate friend in order to keep
you from the strange woman,from the foreign woman who
flatters with her words.
For at the window of my house,I looked out through my lattice
(18:09):
and I saw, among the simple anddiscerned, among the sons of
young men lacking a heart ofwisdom Again, I'll read that and
I saw, among the simple anddiscerned among the sons, a
young man lacking a heart ofwisdom, passing through the
(18:30):
street near her corner and hestrides along the way to her
house in the twilight theevening of that day, in the
middle of the night, in thethick of darkness, and behold, a
woman comes to meet him.
So here is a man, young man,going to a married woman's house
(18:54):
, okay, young man going to amarried woman's house, okay,
watching him skip along like ayou know, like a child, into
this trap.
Behold, a woman comes to meethim, dressed as as a harlot and
(19:14):
cunning of heart.
She's dressed very revealingand tempting, not humbly.
She is boisterous andrebellious.
Her feet do not dwell at home,meaning that she spends all of
her time away from home anddoing things other than taking
(19:35):
care of her home and temptingall those around her seeking to
drag them down, stepping in thestreets, stepping in the squares
(21:09):
.
Near every corner she lies inwait.
So she seizes him and kisseshim with a brazen face.
She says to him now, here isthe.
We're actually mocking god.
Sacrifices of peace offeringsare with me.
(21:31):
Today.
I paid my vow, so she's sayingshe is basically preemptively
sacrificed so that she can dothis.
So she's right with God, whichis wrong.
Therefore, I have come out tomeet you, to seek your face
earnestly, and I have found you.
What man doesn't want to hearthese things?
(21:53):
You are desired.
Women want to be desired.
Men want to be respected.
Men want to be desired.
Men want to be respected.
Men want to be desired, youknow, as men, with their
(22:17):
testosterone and their emotionalwell-being, you know we're not
pretty like women.
We just aren't.
Women are beautiful, god'sgreatest creation In the eyes of
men.
Men want to be desired.
They want a woman to flatterthem, make them feel like
(22:41):
they're special.
All of us want that here.
I've come out to meet you.
I've come to find you, seekyour face, and I have found you.
Not only this I have spread mycouch with coverings, colored
(23:02):
linens of Egypt.
I have made my bed a palaceComfortable, amazing places.
But it gets better.
I have sprinkled my bed withmyrrh and aloes and cinnamon, so
it smells amazing.
It'll be like heaven for you.
Come, let us drink our fellow'slovers until the morning.
(23:25):
Let us delight ourselves withthe pleasure of love.
Okay.
All that stuff every man wantsto hear, wants to hear it with
their very down to their verycore.
Okay, but it's not love.
(23:47):
This here is passion, yes,which can be a side effect of
love.
But the next line is thedevastation.
Well, my husband is not at home.
He has gone on a journey faraway.
He took a bag of silver in hishand On the day of the full moon
(24:11):
.
He will come home.
He's going to be gone a month.
So everything up to that pointright, is setting the trap.
And then there there is thetruth of the matter.
He's not hers, she's not his.
(24:33):
She is another man's wife.
This is now death.
I've come in.
I look beautiful, it looks good, smells good, tastes good,
everything they're going tofeast, they're going to make
love all night.
Which doesn't want to do that?
And then, at the last, here'sthe consequence I'm not yours,
(25:00):
I'm someone else's, and to dothis is death, is what he should
be hearing.
So it goes back to the observing, verse 11.
Sorry, verse 21, I apologize.
With her abundant persuasion,she entices him With her
(25:25):
flattering lips, she drives himto herself and then, caught, he
suddenly follows her as an ox,goes to slaughter, or as one in
fetters to the discipline of anignorant fool, until an arrow
pierces through his liver, as abird, hastens into a snare or a
(25:48):
net, and he does not know thatit will cost him his soul.
So now, my sons, listen to meand pay attention to the words
of my mom.
Do not let your heart go astrayin her ways.
Do not wander into her pathways, for many are slain when she is
(26:12):
cast down and numerous are allthose killed by her.
This isn't her first time.
It won't be her last.
Ways of Sheol are in her.
Ways of the underworld Are inher house, descending Chambers
(26:34):
of death.
Again, we see the clearinstruction to avoid the
temptation of this.
Avoid even walking near herhouse.
Don't even look at her.
Catch her eyes because youmight not be strong enough to
(26:58):
deny that temptation.
This is why we have buddysystems.
You go out with your people tomake sure that you don't.
You go out with otherChristians and temptation washes
up on your shore.
Now you have somebody with youto watch your blind spots,
(27:26):
because you will lie and deceiveyourself.
Oh, I'm just going to try tohelp that girl find Jesus.
I'm going to help that guy findJesus.
I'm going to put him on theright path when only you're
going to be dragged down to hell.
Highway to hell is paved withgood intentions, with our own
(27:52):
wisdom, not with God's.
So again, I can't think of aclearer example of an adequate
(28:16):
description of a lot oftemptation sin as a cobra.
Paul Washer talking about that,and you've heard me talk about
it in others.
There's a great sermon wherehe's talking about walking
through jungles and up pops acobra, and when that happens,
you've got a few seconds todecide.
If you have a machete in yourhand, to cut the head off of it
and kill the sin, or turn awayand run from it.
You don't sit there.
Talk to it.
(28:37):
Sit there and study it.
You don't sit there and do anyof those things because if you
do, too often we want to lingeraround our sin and very rarely
does that ever work out well inour favor.
(28:58):
It almost always leads tocatastrophe.
Go ahead and pray out.
It's almost at the bottom ofthe hour.
Go ahead and pray it out andfight our third battle.
I pray for one another.
Heavenly Father, lord, I thankyou.
I thank you for everyone whojoined me this morning and
watches this now or later.
Lord, I thank you for theinvestment we're all making in
(29:25):
one another, investment in you.
We're all making, lord, thewisest of investments.
Lord, I pray that your holytext today prevents somebody
from stumbling and falling intothe trap of temptation, but I
(29:51):
pray that we would now lock ourshields of faith around each
other and provide cover for oneanother, strengthen us, protect
us from the temptations of thisworld.
We now intercede on eachother's behalf with protection,
(30:12):
discernment and wisdom and peace.
I pray this for this fellowship, the persecuted church, our
troops overseas and our firstresponders at home, veterans of
yesteryear, our country.
(30:33):
I also pray for my belovedAmerica that she would turn from
her sin, hit her knees, repentand seek your face, that you
would see her and heal her, sothat we would once again become
one nation under God,indivisible, with liberty and
(30:55):
justice for all.
I call this fellowship toattention to put on the full
armor of God, strap on theshield of faith, pick up the
sword of the Spirit and boldlywalk forward to join the shield
wall, walking shields to theleft and right as we march
(31:18):
forward to take ground for yourkingdom, your glory, mighty name
.
I pray all this in the mightyname of all names, in the name
of Jesus, amen.
All right, everyone.
God bless you.
I hope you have an amazing dayand I will see you tomorrow.
Remember, wednesday night, 9 pm,eastern Standard Time.
(31:39):
