Speaker 1 (00:01):
Man. Thank God for all those testimonies. Thank God for
that song, because victory, victory shall be mine. If I
hold my peace and let the Lord cool me down,
if I hold my peace and let him fight my battles,
victory shall be mine.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Do you believe that? Praise the Lord.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
We thank God today tonight for another Bible study. We're
asking that the Lord just bless that mad words of
my mouth and the meditation of my heart be accepted
in your sight. Oh Lord, you are my strength and
my redeemer. We think and praise God for another interactive
(00:42):
Bible study.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Interactive meaning I'm not just gonna be doing all the talking,
but we're gonna have words from others that are in
the building.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
And as a reminder, when if you have something to say,
step to the mic, because this is the way we're
gonna do it, and for everyone to hear what you
have to say, because some of you I can't. I'm
not saying it all. I don't know it all. And
sometimes when we bring out certain scriptures, everybody's light bulbs
(01:13):
go off.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
But one thing I want us to remember is that
it's ineffective if we go through these scriptures, learn the
principles and then don't apply them to our own lives. Amen.
And I know that some of you all as some
(01:35):
of the scriptures that we've gone through and that have
those hot topics. Sometimes it's not even the next day
your face with it.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Amen. Can I get you to say?
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Amen?
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Amen? Trying to keep that mouth, trying to keep that tongue. Amen.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
We talked about the woman, the rowling woman, the woman
up on the you'd rather be on rooftop. I didn't
find that article that I'm looking for.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
I know I have it. It might be here. Amen.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
However, I found an article about divorces, and it was
saying that a lot of people feel like, and this
is man, this is.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
A newspaper article.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
A lot of people feel like a lot of divorces
are due to infidelity and and things like that, but
a lot of them is doing due to a nagging spouse.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
A nagging spouse.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Heymen, So we were on point with this nagging woman,
a contentious woman or a contentious.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Man, happy spouse, happy house.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Amen, So we should We started a new chapter Proverbs
twenty two, and we went all the way to the
thirteenth verse. I believe or the twelfth. We're gonna start
at the thirteen. So I'm asking for some feedback from
(03:08):
some takeaways. What did you take away Proverbs twenty two.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
And praise the Lord. Yeah, my baby's coming. She's practiced,
and trade up a child.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Yeah. Uh huh huh.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
Cause when I was young, when we went to church,
we went to a little house church. And in that
house church, we all had to get up and testify.
We were five six and we had to learn how
to testify. We had to learn how to get up
into the mic so we.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Wouldn't be so terrified.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
That's right. And so I don't have no problem.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
She gonna stay here with me cause we didn't we
didn't practice. So the first thing I wanna say, one
of my takeaway was, uh, that first one. Uh, A
good name is.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Can you hear me good?
Speaker 2 (03:54):
You can hear me good?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
A good name is rather to be chosen than riches,
great riches, and loving favor rather than silver and gold.
And so we already know Sister Cubble saying that as
the favor of God will go further than the faith,
the favor of God will go further than just.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Your name.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
The favor of God will, and it's better to be respected.
Your reputation is better than wealth and the other one
that's in their Train up a child. I thought I
was gonna have I scripture pract but it's my fault
because I didn't get with her. But train up a
child in the way that he should go. And that's
I believe in that. I believe in. You train them,
(04:45):
if you teach them, if you show them, they will
not depart. It will be in them whether they do
it or not. Later on, they still know what they
should be doing, even if they don't do it. You
let them see what they're supposed to do, and you
train them, they will do it, all right, that's all.
Speaker 6 (05:02):
Amen.
Speaker 7 (05:06):
First, I wanted to start off as I was doing
a little bit more studying Proverbs the twenty second chapter
and in essence as a whole, it emphasizes the value
of a good name, the equality of all people before God,
and the importance of humility and wisdom and navigating life.
Speaker 6 (05:29):
So these are.
Speaker 7 (05:32):
These scriptures in the in this chapter, this is what
is emphasizing. And verse one and verse six was my
scriptures that I was gonna talk about.
Speaker 6 (05:42):
I'm just gonna add a little bit more to it again.
Speaker 7 (05:45):
Verse one was a good name is rather to be
chosen than great riches and loving favor rather than silver
and gold. And sister Leela have already stated about the favor. Basically,
a good name is to be chosen rather than great riches,
loving favor.
Speaker 6 (06:07):
Than silver and gold.
Speaker 7 (06:09):
This this spiriture highlights the integrity and the reputation or
more valuable than material wealth. A good name reflects one's
character and moral standing, which can lead to respect and
opportunities in life. And we made the example of the
favor with Cyrus from the Bible. So sometimes you know,
(06:35):
you may not always have the money, but your name,
as we brought out about my dad with Moore's car corner,
if you brought his name up, oh you can take
it to the bank. Now, if you don't do your
handle your business, they're not because of his name, they're
(06:56):
not going to associate like oh okay, well, uh mister
Rogers is that way now? No, No, you got to
stand on your own. But however, his name had a
lot of cloud where you know. Okay, you know mister Rogers,
Oh okay, that was his name preceded him.
Speaker 6 (07:13):
And I know one thing he always used to.
Speaker 7 (07:15):
Say your word is your bun.
Speaker 6 (07:22):
If your word ain't good, you not good.
Speaker 7 (07:25):
So whatever you say it represents you to it, you
could take it to the bank. Also in verse six,
trainable child. As I did some more studying on that,
I really liked how it was breaking up train a child,
which is a what it was stating that it was
(07:46):
a great duty. It's a great duty for those not
just those that are parents, but those that are instruct
instructors of children. That basically, the the way the tr
training up is that it doesn't die with you like
in the scriptures where they say write it on the
(08:07):
the the durb posts and different things like that. So
you training up the child and the way that it
should go so it will continue to go on from
generations to generation.
Speaker 6 (08:24):
What else did I have?
Speaker 7 (08:27):
And the training should be of the good things of God.
You know when you say training, you know they some
people may think, well, okay, well I train them to
be moral good standard people in life. But it's more
to it than that, because being morally good is not
gonna take you to the kingdom.
Speaker 6 (08:49):
So it's the things of God.
Speaker 7 (08:50):
And also in training, it's a balance, a balance of
instruction and discipline not being too overbearing, not being soft
too And as we always say, it is a proverb,
not a promise. However, early training may be the means
(09:11):
of them recovering themselves, meaning if something happens to them.
When they say, as they go grow old, not meaning
old as an age, but as they can mature and older. If,
as we say, it's not a promise, it's a proverb.
Even though those things is settled down in them, like
(09:33):
evenus Todd said, because of what was been taught in them,
they're able to recover themselves from the things of life,
things that happens when the parents are away, or they're
in school, or things happened. Okay, I remember when Mama's sister,
Hubby said, Tanika, ma, I remember my mama taught me this,
you able to recover yourself. So I really liked how
(09:56):
the breaking up training a child. And then at the
end of the day, when we've done all we were
supposed to do as far as teaching them and training them,
we should not feel bad.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
Amen.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Amen.
Speaker 8 (10:12):
I've enjoyed the Book of Proverbs, and I made a
note early on that Proverbs teaches us to live wisely
by giving practical, godly wisdom just for daily living. In
chapter twenty two, in particular, I not that it was.
(10:33):
It gives us instructions on how to live a life
of wisdom verse one, And I know some of this
has already been said, but just the notes that I took.
Verse one, we talked about a good name and reputation
is more important than wealth and it cannot be bought.
(10:56):
Verse three we talked about a wise or prudent person
is proactive and trying to read my writing, is proactive
and prepares prepares for the future those unforeseen things and
danger coming. But the senseless simple person moves blindly forward
(11:22):
and are usually punished.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Verse seven we talked about.
Speaker 8 (11:29):
Being the rich, how the rich can rule over the poor,
and the borrow be the borrower being can be is
a servant to the lender. So just kind of be
careful how you approach that and borrowing because it can
come back to bite you. And verse nine I made
(11:50):
notes about being generous to the poor, and you can
find your life enriched with blessings and return and verse
ten just advising us to cast.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Out the scorners and.
Speaker 8 (12:10):
The and contention scorners and contention, well, when we cast
out the scorners contention shall go out and just say
goodbye to it, Say goodbye to those troublemakers, and you'll
say goodbye to quarrels, strife, tension, and arguments.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Just a better life overall.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
You remove the stage.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
They can't perform if you turn the pages on them,
say let's pray. They don't have anything else to say. Heymen,
you don't have to be a tool in a person's hand.
You don't have to be a garbage can. You don't
have to hear everything that they're talking about, because you
can tell when a person starts talking where it's going
(12:59):
to lead to. You know where it's leading. That's where
you put a stop to it. Amen. So now we're
gonna go into Proverbs twenty two and thirteen. Give yourselves
a hand for that. Those take backs, Amen.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
It does a.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Person, the teacher or the facilitator good.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
When you can get feedback.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
It means that they knew what they were She said something,
and they remember even if, like we say in Sunday School,
even if you have to read your notes, that shows
you took notes. Amen, all right, because I remember Apostle
said it, but I know since Harrogate used to say,
your right brain is not that strong that you can
(13:45):
hold all that. So take notes that she used to
tell us that in music in the choir room, I
need you to listen, pay attention, and write it down.
The change is down, all right.
Speaker 7 (13:58):
Thirteen The slowful man said there is a lion without
I shall be slain in the streets.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I enjoyed researching this easy Reid says. A person who
is lazy wants to stay home, says there's a lion outside,
and I might get killed in the streets. Solomon is
actually he wants the reader to know that a sloughful.
We talked about the slowful of the slugger, the idol,
the lazy person with lack of initiative.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
The man would make.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Up any crazy excuse to avoid work. There's not really
a lion out there.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
It's a metaphor.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
But in ancient Israel, uh, while beasts was prevalent, because
you know they were the land was uncultivated and so
there was a real threat, but their.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Presence in populated areas was.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Not so gonna work. Now, David was in the fields.
You not in the fields. You in the city. Amen.
So the slacker just claimed and then he claimed he's
gonna be he's being gonna be killed, like there's actually
a lion in the public streets. Come on, sir, get
(15:22):
up and do what you need to do. If a
man don't work, neither shall he eat. But that's what
he was. He's just making an observation what a sloughful
person or a slugger person. And we've been talking about
that in a few scriptures. Amen. Amen fourteen.
Speaker 7 (15:40):
The mouth of a strange woman is a deep pit.
He that it is a board, a board hoard of
the Lord shall fall therein.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
The sin of adultery is a trap, and the Lord
gets very angry with those who fall into it. A
strained woman is often referred to somebody that is not yours.
She's strange, and there's warning against the dangers of being
seduced by immoral women.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
But can we agree that it can go both ways?
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Amen? The difference between Joseph and Potiphar's wife, then David,
who was the strange man in Bathsheba's life.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Amen, So adultery.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Adultery is somebody that somebody is already married for on
occasions between two people that aren't married, Amen, yield not
to temptation for yielding his sin. Each victory will help
you some others to win. Fight manually onward, dark passion, subdued.
Look over to Jesus because he's said that he'd be
(17:00):
upset with you.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
He will carry you through.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Ask the saviors to help you, comfort, strengthen, and keep you.
He is willing to aid you. He will carry you
through wisdom. The mouth of the strange woman. You know
she's strange. You know she's not yours, So stop listening
(17:30):
strange women. Amen. I know there are some in some
churches when some brothers have this attitude. I have friends,
but I'm gonna limit my female friends. But some people
don't care. They just they have all kinds of friends,
and most of their friends are females that will get
you in trouble. Amen. And it's not trying to be
(17:52):
mean or anything. Your What does scripture say?
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Don't let this flesh, this flesh is weak.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
Walk in the spirit.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Yeah, walk in the spirits. Some of us are minds
are too carnal. Sometimes you you you you're around them
too much. You're telling them too much of your business
at home. Amen. So that's a strange woman, yes, ma'am.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
And see the lips of a strange woman tell you
what you want to hear. Yes, it's it fees that
ego or vice versa, that strange man. Yes, what you
think you ain't getting at home, that mean you ain't
getting it. But what you think you ain't getting a home,
they appeal to that, whatever that is in you that
you haven't killed. When they appeal to that, then that's
(18:38):
when things begin to happen.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
That's what you said, you'll not temptation for yielding your sin.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
And like we had in the Suny School and James
when it was saying a man lusts when love has conceived,
bus has conceived it bringing for a sin. And what
I was saying is Cameo had a song that's back
out in the world, says she's strange, and I like it.
But even in the church, because this is the word
of God. It is the church people.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (19:06):
When you don't kill yourself, you like that strange stuff.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
It appeals to you.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
You find yourself smiling at somebody else's husband, smiling at
somebody else's wife, and then you open yourself up to
a whole lot of trouble is easy to get in.
It's hard to get out of it. Yes, and it
brings about shame as well.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Yes, it'll take you further than you want to go
and keep you longer than you wanted to stay. And
I want that's just just like when you're out in
the ocean and that ocean is going and you you
you thinking you on the shoreline and those waves are
coming in and you out in the deep water and
didn't really realize it.
Speaker 7 (19:45):
Amen, and I mean sister, sister more. She explained it perfectly,
but I wanted to add where it says it is
a deep pit. It's deep because it's not, as you
already say, it's not as easy to get out of.
(20:09):
And those things that you thought you was delivered from,
it's just like it opens up a can of worms,
and it's just like that that that ball going down
the hill, and it's getting bigger and bigger and bigger
and bigger and bigger and bigger, all these things you
thought you was delivered from where you thought it was
so easy to shake. That's why I say it's a
(20:31):
deep pit, because it's not so easy to get out of.
But with God, all things are possible.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
But flee, flee, flea Yes, don't put no confidence and
it's flesh. Amen, And I thought just came to me.
You know, we can talk about the slow phone and
the sluggard, and the sluggard is a If your mind
is idle, that strange woman can feed it, and you'll
(21:02):
you'll be making You'll make stupid excuses. You'll be making excuses. Oh,
I was just helping a sister out. Let the sisters
help the sisters. Let the brothers help the brothers. But
they don't listen. They think we being dogmatic. And even
(21:27):
in ministry, brothers, ministers, bring your wife. If you gotta
go to a female's house, bring your wife. She's gonna
have to get up. I don't know what they taught
at the convocation, but I know that if you're deaconess,
they call them deaconess's. But if you they call on
deacons to do things and you have a husband, you
(21:51):
can't turn over in that bed and say I'm not going. No,
you're not going by yourself. Did you gotta be safe
even in the church, especially in the church, you don't
want your name. I mean, stuff is coming out now,
all that stuff, apostle, we're talking about this. The cover's
(22:12):
been pulled off. So brothers that are evangelists, sisters that
are evangelists. And if a brother calls you to come over,
bring your husband with you, bring your wife with you,
bring somebody with you. Amen. Be careful with the men too. Amen.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Fifteen.
Speaker 7 (22:41):
Foolish is bound in the heart of a child, but
the ride of correction shall drive it far from him.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Foolishnessnessness, I hear apostle, this is a whole lot. It's
a whole lot foolishness, a whole lot of foolish in
the child. And it's tied in there. It's bound up
in there. It's in their heart. So they gonna do
(23:11):
it like say it's so funny. When they do something bad,
they say, what it's foolishness, and it's in their heart. Amen.
It's part of a growing process for a child to
be foolish. The behavior is naturally in in children due
to lack of wisdom. So we are the ones that's
(23:31):
supposed to be training up the child, right, and you
don't wait until they get ten and twelve years old
to start training them. Get out of my face, Get
out of my mouth.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
I'm talking.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Get off me. But we have to think about the
right type of discipline and guidance. The right type of
discipline and guidance will direct their actions in their choice
and make them think twice before repeating the foolish behavior.
A child left to himself will continue to be foolish
(24:09):
unless he's taught and discipline. It follows off with Proverbs
twenty two and six Train up a child. The rod
of correction does not have to be an actual rid,
although they are using Middle Easter in terms countries Proverbs
twelve and thirteen, twenty four, nineteen and eighteen. Back in
(24:34):
the how many remember when these American children went overseas
to one of those Middle Eastern states and they got
in trouble and they got rotted. They got rotted, that's
the punishment. They went by the word They got with
(24:56):
many stripes and they did not die. But I bet
you when they came back home they wouldn't do something
like that. I think it was some type of graffiti
or something they had done. They did something crazy overseas, amen,
and they and their punishment was to be rotted. But
I just wanted to make this point that the rod
of correction can be your words. It doesn't always have
(25:19):
to be some you know your children. If you have
two or three four children, two children, one of them
you can talk to the other one you can try
to talk to. But talking to you, see, talking ain't
working right now. So I need you to bend over
whatever discipline, whatever correction that you decide to do.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
If it works for you, let it work.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
But also remember when you use that rod, it's not
for the head and not for their back. There's places
where you're supposed to beat them. Even though this world
is talking about corporate punishment is out. The paddling they
(26:07):
used to do now they don't wanna do it anymore.
Kids gonna say, I'm gonna call CPS. Go ahead, after
I pore you, go ahead and call them. Let them
take care of you.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
And then if you.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Leave them where they are, you're you're cited for abandonment.
Well you wonna let me discipline them? So what am
I supposed to do? Give them cookies and ice cream?
So a child left to himself will continue into foolishness
unless he is taught. Saints of God, we have to
(26:39):
teach mothers, fathers. We have to teach, just like when
we talk about the scripture. Why we have to say
the same scriptures over and over the same thing.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
With your children.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
You have to tell them over and over until they
get the message.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Amen, all right. Sixteen.
Speaker 7 (27:01):
He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and
he that give it to the rich, shall surely come
to want.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
These two things.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Make you poor, hurting the poor to make yourself rich,
and given to the rich. Because the rich they may
give you give gifts to the rich. They may give
you something, but they don't have to. But you're really
hurting the poor. This is just another proverbs dealing with
the injustice of the oppression of the poor. We've talked
about that. This has said it in another way.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
You you take from the poor, you take advantage of them.
Doing this is usually done to make yourself wealthy.
Speaker 9 (27:43):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
How does he get price price guarded? Overcharged? Withholding somebody's pay.
That's making you rich, especially if they're here here illegally.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
You taking advantage.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Well, you're not supposed to be here anyway, So I'm
just gonna dock your pay. No, they work, you should
pay them. If you don't feel like they should be here,
don't let them work. But you don't work somebody for nothing.
Interest you borrow fifty dollars from me, you gotta pay
(28:20):
me to double up. You gotta pay me two hundred
and fifty dollars back if I went to you because
I needed it.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Now you're gonna double it up on me.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Amen, And you give gifts to the wealthy in order
to gain favor.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Again, this proverb encourages.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
To treat everyone fair, and we've talked about that seventeen
and eighteen goes together.
Speaker 7 (28:47):
Bow down thine ear and hear the words of the Wise,
and apply thine heart onto my knowledge, onto my knowledge eighteen.
Speaker 6 (28:57):
For it is a pleasant thing.
Speaker 7 (29:00):
Thou'll keep them within thee they shall with all be lifted,
be fitted in thy lips.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Listen, bow down your ears, listen carefully to these words
from the Wise, and pay attention to what you have learned.
Incline your ear, apply it. And when you incline your ear,
you're hearing. And when you apply it, you do it.
Just like the recent Sunday School lesson doers of the word.
(29:29):
When you hear it, if it's wisdom and it's the
wise saying, you need to do it, apply it to
your life. Guys, and I have to use him because
he's around me a lot. He does things and then
he says sorry, and then he does it again. Sorry.
If you're sorry, you will not keep doing it. I'm sorry. No,
(29:49):
you're not sorry. You just saying that. Amen, So don't
just accumulate the knowledge and don't put it to use.
Because see, looks like you said, train but child, the
way it should go. It knows you got the knowledge,
you got the wisdom, you got the wherewithal, but you're
(30:09):
not using it. You're not applying it to your life.
I hear you, Mama, I hear you, daddy, but you're
not applying it.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Apply what you have learned.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Amen, put it to use.
Speaker 9 (30:25):
Stinking about when it said bowed down. That takes humility
to humble yourself, to bow down, because you can think
that you know more than what that wise person is
telling you, and then they'll keep you from humbling yourself.
Bound their ear down, because it takes for you to
recognize that you don't know everything for you for you
(30:47):
to humble yourself, you know, basically, bound their ear down,
bringing it down to where they is so you can
hear it and then to be able to apply it.
So just humility, like I could say, mentally to understand
that you don't know everything.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Amen. Amen. When you get those two numbers together, it's
hard to be humble. The benefit of wisdom is not
just knowing it, but applying it and sharing it effectively.
Like the scripture says, when thou art converted, strengthen thy
brother or thy sister, because it says, it will be
good for you to remember these words and have them
(31:26):
ready when they are needed, meaning would you be able
to spit it back out? Amen? Nineteen twenty and twenty one.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
I believe they all go together to.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
And it actually is continuing with eighteen, okay, because it's
saying eighteen ends with them, that them ready. Let me
even start it from beginning. It will be good for
you to remember these words, because he says seventeen. Carefully,
pay attention, bow down, pay attention to what you have learned.
(32:04):
Remember these words, and have them ready when they are needed. Amen.
And then nineteen says.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
What.
Speaker 7 (32:14):
That thy trust may be in the Lord I have
made known to THEE this day, even to THEE.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
I will teach you these things now, and I want
you to trust the Lord. Because basically, if wisdom is
heard and applied effectively and effectively communicated. You will ultimately
want to trust in the Lord, because wisdom comes from
the Lord. Wisdom comes from the Lord. And he's continuing
(32:44):
on twenty Have not I.
Speaker 7 (32:47):
Written to THEE excellent things in councils and knowledge twenty one.
Speaker 6 (32:57):
That I might make THEE known.
Speaker 7 (33:00):
The certainty of the words of truth, that thou mightest
answer the words of truth to them that sin unto THEE.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
These are words of advice and wisdom that He's given us.
And he said, I will teach you these things, you
things that you can.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
Know for sure to be true.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Then you can give good answers to one to the
one that sent you. The person of integrity will communicate
what is right and what is true. Whatever you've been taught,
you are going to teach it to be able to
teach it to others. And UH when he says that
(33:40):
I might make THEE known know the certainty of words
and truth, that thou mightst answer the words of truth
to them that sin a sin unto THEE. Whatever I
tell you gonna you're gonna.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Say it right.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
If I give to some more something or tell sus
some more or something, she's not gonna change the wording,
and then when it gets back to me, well that's
not what I said, she can't say well, that's what
I thought you said. So the person that's communicating theys
to make sure my kids when they were coming up
sometimes they'll say, well, mamma, that's not what you said.
(34:15):
So what I would do would tell them something. And
then I say, well, now what did I just say.
Now if you say verbad and what I said, that's
what I'm expecting you to do. That's what I'm expecting
you to say. Don't change the wording, because you in
text messages, when you change the word, you change the content,
(34:36):
you change the context of what you're trying to say. Amen,
all right, twenty two were just about through twenty two.
Speaker 7 (34:47):
Rob not the poor because he is poor, neither oppressed
the afflicted.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
In the gate, it is easy to steal from the poor,
but don't do it and don't take advantage of them.
In the court, when it talks about the city gate
in the Bible times, it was a place where legal
matters were tried and decided, it says Uh. In Biblical times,
(35:20):
the city gate was more than just a physical entrance
that you go into. It was a vital hub for social, economic,
and legal activities, serving as a place of judgment, commerce,
and community community gathering. It was where the elders would
meet to make decisions, disputes were resolved, and business transactions
(35:43):
took place. This has been done throughout the Bible, and
I don't think you, some of us may not have
quite understood.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
When you would hear somebody.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
The city, the city the city gate before Leopard's men,
was at the city gate, the man whom leaned on
the king, the king leaned on when the m the
stuff started, the food started coming in. They was at
the city gate. He was at the city gate and
(36:13):
got trampled. Right, if you had a wayward this this
dysfunctional child, you.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Took 'em to the city gate.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
And they lead the elders would decide whether they gonna
get stoned or not. So in today's time, the court system,
it's the court system. Amen. So again, the poor and
the disadvantage should be treated with respect and dignity, compassion
and fer fairness, for the Lord will plead their cause
(36:48):
and spoil the soul of those that spoil them. You
something gonna happen. Some something's gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (36:56):
Because I was just thinking.
Speaker 9 (37:01):
Came to my mind, like, don't kick a man while
he's already down.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
Yes, this is what I was thinking about.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
Cause they already poor.
Speaker 9 (37:07):
They don't impress the afflicted like they already going through.
Why add more to 'em?
Speaker 1 (37:14):
And and does somebody know why God was so j
God was so determined to get that across to his people,
that's what happened to them. I want you to remember how.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
You were treated.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
And we as saints of God, we have to remember
where we were and how we were before we got saved.
And when you see somebody that's like, I don't understand
why they don't understand it took you a minute to
get on to get an understanding. You didn't get saved
when you were twelve years old. Ten years old. Amen,
(37:58):
So don't kick a man while he's down. But I
want you to remember how you were your mindset. We
can't get frustrated. We can get frustrated within ourselves, but
we can't get frustrated with people.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
If we get frustrated.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Within ourselves, we have to say the frustration comes to us,
to us as how can I get this across to
this person? Because everybody is not the same. All the
words you use may not affect affect everybody the same way.
So we gotta find We gotta learn to pray for
(38:34):
desertment and how to deal with when you're gonna witness.
You must be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
Amen, all right?
Speaker 1 (38:46):
Twenty four, twenty four and twenty five.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
May put those together.
Speaker 7 (38:54):
Make no friendship with an angry man, and with a
furious man not go Lets thou learn his ways and
get a snare to thy soul.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Don't be friends with people who become angry easily. Don't
stay around quick tempered people. If you do, you may
learn to be just like them. Then you will have
the same problems they have. Amen. Again, it can be
a man or a woman given to quick quick anger
(39:28):
quickly is dangerous. We talked about this, So be careful
who you hang with. I don't care whether they save
or not. They supposed to be saying. If you they
got those those characteristics, you need to stay away fro them.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
Go ahead.
Speaker 5 (39:43):
It's evil communication. That's scripture good manners, because when you
you know, even like when you go back to training
up the child and all this stuff. Were talking about.
First thing, you tell them stay away from them kids,
them bad ones and bullies and this and that. It's
the same thing when you hang with people like that,
say birds.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
Of a feather, that's in my notes too.
Speaker 5 (40:03):
But if you not a bird of that feather, but
you start hanging with them birds, get them feathers.
Speaker 1 (40:07):
Yes, that's right, amen. That was my scripture first, first
Corinthians fifteen and thirty.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
Three, he.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Be not deceived.
Speaker 1 (40:17):
Evil communication corrupts good manner. And then Proverbs thirteen and twenty,
which we've had before. He that walks with wise men
shall be wise, but a command and but a companion
or friend of.
Speaker 2 (40:29):
Fools shall be destroyed.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
You will eventually become like minded, just like them. They
used to say. If you don't want to be known
as a prostitute, stop hanging around them, stop looking like them.
If you want to fly with the eagles, you have
to stop swimming with ducks. If you want to fly,
you have to give up the things that weigh you down.
(40:53):
And when you start picking up habits of other people.
And another thing too, we haven't said. A person that
is given to anger quickly is dangerous. You can get
killed playing with those folks. Bullets don't don't have anybody's
name on it. And you playing around with this fool,
(41:15):
this person that get upset and angry and they gonna
shoot him, but they accidentally shoot you because because you
were with him, and they associate you with them. But
try to tell these young folks this. Now, I'm not
like that, but you not like that. But you hanging
around like that, don't tell me you're trying to witness
(41:36):
to him. What do you got to witness? Witness to
him over the phone, witness to them in a text message.
Don't hang with them, because there's been a lot of kids,
a lot of people, a lot of men, women and
children dead because they hanging around the wrong people, listening
to the wrong people. Oh they think that's cool. Amen,
(42:03):
we need to apply this twenty six and twenty seven.
I think they go together too.
Speaker 7 (42:12):
Be not that one of them that strike hands, or
of them that are sureties of debts. If thou hast
nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed
from under thee All.
Speaker 1 (42:27):
Right, this is what we're talking about again. Sureties co signing.
Don't promise to pay someone else's debt if you cannot pay.
If you cannot pay, you will lose everything you have
because you are a collateral. Amen, So why should you
lose your bed that you sleep on? What are they
(42:51):
gonna lose? Nothing wanted against guaranteeing someone's desk, Avoid unnecessary,
be wise, and don't do it. So some up and said,
don't you do it? It's a recipe for disaster. Co
signing puts the co signer at risk. So why should
(43:13):
he take away thy bed from under thee I just
brought the scripture back in there. Amen. Now he's warning.
But now if you had the money, hey go ahead.
But if you if you scrap to and you short,
your money is funny and your change is trained. Uh huh.
(43:34):
I can't do that, can you? Can you do it
for me? Can you do it for me? You can't
do it for me. I can't do it for you.
What do they say?
Speaker 4 (43:43):
Now?
Speaker 1 (43:44):
Work it out, work it out, figure it out. You
gotta figure it out. That's your house. You gotta figure
it out. Amen. Twenty eight.
Speaker 7 (43:57):
Remove not the ancient landmark which thy fathers have sick.
Speaker 1 (44:03):
Never move an old property line that was marked long
ago by your ancestors. This has a lot in it.
It emphasizes the importance of respecting traditions that was established
boundaries back in the day. In ancient time, landmarks were
physical markers like stones, and that it defined the property lines.
(44:27):
So he's saying, don't do that. That's being unfair. Amen, And
also respect the wisdom and decisions of those who came
before us. George Santana says, he who does not learn
from his past is condemned to repeat it. He who
(44:50):
does not learn from his past is condemned to repeat it.
So we need to respect the traditions. Now, some traditions
may be out of we don't do 'em anymore. But
there's good reasoning why. I mean, there's you know, the
(45:11):
laws that they've made. Sometimes they have to amend them
because it used to be a law that you couldn't
spit on the ground. This is crazy, you know, s
a lot of laws they just just just made. But
see they had to amend them. Amen, Okay, nine twenty nine.
Speaker 7 (45:30):
See, it's that a man diligent in his business, he
shall stand before kings. He shall not stand before mean men.
Speaker 1 (45:40):
Mean men. Skilled workers will always serve kings. They will
never have to work for less important people. Just have
to be diligent in business. Right, What does diligent mean?
(46:01):
Handle your business the way you're supposed to handle it. Amen.
And he that stands before, yeah, he stands before. He
will always be able to serve. People will when you
do your do your part. When you do your part,
they will never have to work for less important people.
Speaker 2 (46:18):
Sometimes when we.
Speaker 1 (46:22):
As as entreprene as entrepreneurs, we have to be diligent
and skillful. Amen. And when you're diligent and skillful, they
don't care who you are where you come from. You
could be from the projects, but you're skillful in what
(46:45):
you do, and I need you on my team. You
could be from buck Tuck, Mississippi, but I need what
you have. See Sometimes I think since I think Sister
(47:06):
A said one time that you know people because she's
from What did you say to East Texas? The country
think they think country folks are ignorant, just like they
thought a lot of blacks was ignorant. Well, I'm ignorant
to your world. But once I learn it, you can't
take it away from me. You can't take it away
(47:28):
from us. Ainmen, anybody that as a student in whatever
they you can't take that electronics out of them. You
can't take that business mind out of them. You can't
take that nursing, that the way they nurse, the ability
to help people. Everybody that's a nurse is not a
true nurse. Some of them just in it for the money.
(47:52):
But like he's saying, if your skilled worker will always
you're always needed, don't count yourself out.
Speaker 2 (48:00):
You will always be needed.
Speaker 1 (48:03):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (48:05):
And I believe that's it.
Speaker 1 (48:07):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (48:08):
I enjoyed this partion, Amen.
Speaker 5 (48:11):
It was.
Speaker 1 (48:11):
I mean, some of the stuff, some of the that
we were talking about, was repetitive. But like I said,
when it's repeated, it's just said in a different way,
that's all. And it makes us understand more. It opens
up our understanding even more. Amen. Let's stand to our
feet and man, we thank God for another interactive Bible study.
(48:31):
Give yourselves a hand. And I hope I did the
explanation justice. Amen. Sometimes when I go back, I think
of something else to say, so I have to kind
of write them back in my notes. So when I
start typing up my book is gonna be even bigger. Amen.
Just anybody here that you know needs something from the
from the Lord, whether you're saved or not.
Speaker 2 (48:53):
Save.
Speaker 1 (48:54):
If you're not saved, come on down. It's seemed like
it's all of us today tonight.
Speaker 2 (49:00):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (49:00):
But those that are listening, we're asking that you know,
we're hoping and praying that these Bible studies are getting
your mind triggered as to there is a better way.
There is a better way, And I'm not gonna give
up the fight. Amen.
Speaker 2 (49:18):
I can do better, Amen.
Speaker 1 (49:20):
But if I have, if I'm gonna be wise, I'm
gonna have to ask of God. I'm asking you all
to pray for me because I'm asking God for direction.
But I'm in that he's in that silent mode. So
I'm gonna stand still and I'm gonna mark time until
(49:41):
he says what he's gonna say. So I need you
all to be praying with me because it's not a
good feeling even though we sing that song, even when
I can't feel it, even when I can't see it.
But he's there. I have to believe that he's there.
(50:04):
And he didn't bring us this far to leave us. Amen,
those that are listening, he didn't bring you this far
to leave you. No matter what you see and what
we're facing, God is able. He wants us to believe
him even when we don't hear him, hear him say
anything I think about Daniel.
Speaker 2 (50:26):
Was it Daniel that prayed? He prayed?
Speaker 1 (50:32):
God heard him the first time he prayed, but his
answer was held up for over twenty some days. Those
twenty some days can be twenty some years because there's
no time with God.
Speaker 2 (50:49):
We the one.
Speaker 1 (50:50):
He's his time. We might say, well, Lord, it's been
twenty one days, but to him it's just been twenty
one seconds.
Speaker 2 (50:58):
Amen, Praise God. Lift your hands. Lord.
Speaker 1 (51:04):
We want to thank you for your word.
Speaker 2 (51:07):
Lord.
Speaker 1 (51:08):
We're asking that you just give us ears to hear
your word. Bow down our ears and incline, and let
us continue to be doers and not just hearers only.
Speaker 2 (51:20):
Don't allow us.
Speaker 1 (51:21):
To accumulate all this knowledge and do nothing with it.
Speaker 2 (51:27):
Let us be.
Speaker 1 (51:28):
Let us shine like bright, like diamonds. Let us be
that city that's set up on a hill. Let us
be the salt of the world. In the name of Jesus,
we thank you, Lord Jesus, for your word. We thank
you for your people. We ask Lord that you just
bless them from the crown of their heads to the
souls of their feet.
Speaker 2 (51:47):
Whatever they're going through.
Speaker 1 (51:48):
Lord Jesus, let this word permonate into their spirits, soul
and mind, that we will do better, and do better,
and do better, and get closer and closer to you,
Oh God, so we could hear your voice, your clear voice.
Speaker 2 (52:05):
Not make a mistake.
Speaker 1 (52:06):
But it's you, O Lord, it's you, O Lord, And
we thank you for the name of Jesus.
Speaker 2 (52:10):
We pray Amen.
Man. Thank God for all those testimonies. Thank God for
that song, because victory, victory shall be mine. If I
hold my peace and let the Lord cool me down,
if I hold my peace and let him fight my battles,
victory shall be mine.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Do you believe that? Praise the Lord.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
We thank God today tonight for another Bible study. We're
asking that the Lord just bless that mad words of
my mouth and the meditation of my heart be accepted
in your sight. Oh Lord, you are my strength and
my redeemer. We think and praise God for another interactive
(00:42):
Bible study.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Interactive meaning I'm not just gonna be doing all the talking,
but we're gonna have words from others that are in
the building.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
And as a reminder, when if you have something to say,
step to the mic, because this is the way we're
gonna do it, and for everyone to hear what you
have to say, because some of you I can't. I'm
not saying it all. I don't know it all. And
sometimes when we bring out certain scriptures, everybody's light bulbs
(01:13):
go off.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
But one thing I want us to remember is that
it's ineffective if we go through these scriptures, learn the
principles and then don't apply them to our own lives. Amen.
And I know that some of you all as some
(01:35):
of the scriptures that we've gone through and that have
those hot topics. Sometimes it's not even the next day
your face with it.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Amen. Can I get you to say?
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Amen?
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Amen? Trying to keep that mouth, trying to keep that tongue. Amen.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
We talked about the woman, the rowling woman, the woman
up on the you'd rather be on rooftop. I didn't
find that article that I'm looking for.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
I know I have it. It might be here. Amen.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
However, I found an article about divorces, and it was
saying that a lot of people feel like, and this
is man, this is.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
A newspaper article.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
A lot of people feel like a lot of divorces
are due to infidelity and and things like that, but
a lot of them is doing due to a nagging spouse.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
A nagging spouse.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Heymen, So we were on point with this nagging woman,
a contentious woman or a contentious.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Man, happy spouse, happy house.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Amen, So we should We started a new chapter Proverbs
twenty two, and we went all the way to the
thirteenth verse. I believe or the twelfth. We're gonna start
at the thirteen. So I'm asking for some feedback from
(03:08):
some takeaways. What did you take away Proverbs twenty two.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
And praise the Lord. Yeah, my baby's coming. She's practiced,
and trade up a child.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Yeah. Uh huh huh.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
Cause when I was young, when we went to church,
we went to a little house church. And in that
house church, we all had to get up and testify.
We were five six and we had to learn how
to testify. We had to learn how to get up
into the mic so we.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Wouldn't be so terrified.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
That's right. And so I don't have no problem.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
She gonna stay here with me cause we didn't we
didn't practice. So the first thing I wanna say, one
of my takeaway was, uh, that first one. Uh, A
good name is.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Can you hear me good?
Speaker 2 (03:54):
You can hear me good?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
A good name is rather to be chosen than riches,
great riches, and loving favor rather than silver and gold.
And so we already know Sister Cubble saying that as
the favor of God will go further than the faith,
the favor of God will go further than just.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Your name.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
The favor of God will, and it's better to be respected.
Your reputation is better than wealth and the other one
that's in their Train up a child. I thought I
was gonna have I scripture pract but it's my fault
because I didn't get with her. But train up a
child in the way that he should go. And that's
I believe in that. I believe in. You train them,
(04:45):
if you teach them, if you show them, they will
not depart. It will be in them whether they do
it or not. Later on, they still know what they
should be doing, even if they don't do it. You
let them see what they're supposed to do, and you
train them, they will do it, all right, that's all.
Speaker 6 (05:02):
Amen.
Speaker 7 (05:06):
First, I wanted to start off as I was doing
a little bit more studying Proverbs the twenty second chapter
and in essence as a whole, it emphasizes the value
of a good name, the equality of all people before God,
and the importance of humility and wisdom and navigating life.
Speaker 6 (05:29):
So these are.
Speaker 7 (05:32):
These scriptures in the in this chapter, this is what
is emphasizing. And verse one and verse six was my
scriptures that I was gonna talk about.
Speaker 6 (05:42):
I'm just gonna add a little bit more to it again.
Speaker 7 (05:45):
Verse one was a good name is rather to be
chosen than great riches and loving favor rather than silver
and gold. And sister Leela have already stated about the favor. Basically,
a good name is to be chosen rather than great riches,
loving favor.
Speaker 6 (06:07):
Than silver and gold.
Speaker 7 (06:09):
This this spiriture highlights the integrity and the reputation or
more valuable than material wealth. A good name reflects one's
character and moral standing, which can lead to respect and
opportunities in life. And we made the example of the
favor with Cyrus from the Bible. So sometimes you know,
(06:35):
you may not always have the money, but your name,
as we brought out about my dad with Moore's car corner,
if you brought his name up, oh you can take
it to the bank. Now, if you don't do your
handle your business, they're not because of his name, they're
(06:56):
not going to associate like oh okay, well, uh mister
Rogers is that way now? No, No, you got to
stand on your own. But however, his name had a
lot of cloud where you know. Okay, you know mister Rogers,
Oh okay, that was his name preceded him.
Speaker 6 (07:13):
And I know one thing he always used to.
Speaker 7 (07:15):
Say your word is your bun.
Speaker 6 (07:22):
If your word ain't good, you not good.
Speaker 7 (07:25):
So whatever you say it represents you to it, you
could take it to the bank. Also in verse six,
trainable child. As I did some more studying on that,
I really liked how it was breaking up train a child,
which is a what it was stating that it was
(07:46):
a great duty. It's a great duty for those not
just those that are parents, but those that are instruct
instructors of children. That basically, the the way the tr
training up is that it doesn't die with you like
in the scriptures where they say write it on the
(08:07):
the the durb posts and different things like that. So
you training up the child and the way that it
should go so it will continue to go on from
generations to generation.
Speaker 6 (08:24):
What else did I have?
Speaker 7 (08:27):
And the training should be of the good things of God.
You know when you say training, you know they some
people may think, well, okay, well I train them to
be moral good standard people in life. But it's more
to it than that, because being morally good is not
gonna take you to the kingdom.
Speaker 6 (08:49):
So it's the things of God.
Speaker 7 (08:50):
And also in training, it's a balance, a balance of
instruction and discipline not being too overbearing, not being soft
too And as we always say, it is a proverb,
not a promise. However, early training may be the means
(09:11):
of them recovering themselves, meaning if something happens to them.
When they say, as they go grow old, not meaning
old as an age, but as they can mature and older. If,
as we say, it's not a promise, it's a proverb.
Even though those things is settled down in them, like
(09:33):
evenus Todd said, because of what was been taught in them,
they're able to recover themselves from the things of life,
things that happens when the parents are away, or they're
in school, or things happened. Okay, I remember when Mama's sister,
Hubby said, Tanika, ma, I remember my mama taught me this,
you able to recover yourself. So I really liked how
(09:56):
the breaking up training a child. And then at the
end of the day, when we've done all we were
supposed to do as far as teaching them and training them,
we should not feel bad.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
Amen.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Amen.
Speaker 8 (10:12):
I've enjoyed the Book of Proverbs, and I made a
note early on that Proverbs teaches us to live wisely
by giving practical, godly wisdom just for daily living. In
chapter twenty two, in particular, I not that it was.
(10:33):
It gives us instructions on how to live a life
of wisdom verse one, And I know some of this
has already been said, but just the notes that I took.
Verse one, we talked about a good name and reputation
is more important than wealth and it cannot be bought.
(10:56):
Verse three we talked about a wise or prudent person
is proactive and trying to read my writing, is proactive
and prepares prepares for the future those unforeseen things and
danger coming. But the senseless simple person moves blindly forward
(11:22):
and are usually punished.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Verse seven we talked about.
Speaker 8 (11:29):
Being the rich, how the rich can rule over the poor,
and the borrow be the borrower being can be is
a servant to the lender. So just kind of be
careful how you approach that and borrowing because it can
come back to bite you. And verse nine I made
(11:50):
notes about being generous to the poor, and you can
find your life enriched with blessings and return and verse
ten just advising us to cast.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Out the scorners and.
Speaker 8 (12:10):
The and contention scorners and contention, well, when we cast
out the scorners contention shall go out and just say
goodbye to it, Say goodbye to those troublemakers, and you'll
say goodbye to quarrels, strife, tension, and arguments.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Just a better life overall.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
You remove the stage.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
They can't perform if you turn the pages on them,
say let's pray. They don't have anything else to say. Heymen,
you don't have to be a tool in a person's hand.
You don't have to be a garbage can. You don't
have to hear everything that they're talking about, because you
can tell when a person starts talking where it's going
(12:59):
to lead to. You know where it's leading. That's where
you put a stop to it. Amen. So now we're
gonna go into Proverbs twenty two and thirteen. Give yourselves
a hand for that. Those take backs, Amen.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
It does a.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Person, the teacher or the facilitator good.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
When you can get feedback.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
It means that they knew what they were She said something,
and they remember even if, like we say in Sunday School,
even if you have to read your notes, that shows
you took notes. Amen, all right, because I remember Apostle
said it, but I know since Harrogate used to say,
your right brain is not that strong that you can
(13:45):
hold all that. So take notes that she used to
tell us that in music in the choir room, I
need you to listen, pay attention, and write it down.
The change is down, all right.
Speaker 7 (13:58):
Thirteen The slowful man said there is a lion without
I shall be slain in the streets.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I enjoyed researching this easy Reid says. A person who
is lazy wants to stay home, says there's a lion outside,
and I might get killed in the streets. Solomon is
actually he wants the reader to know that a sloughful.
We talked about the slowful of the slugger, the idol,
the lazy person with lack of initiative.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
The man would make.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Up any crazy excuse to avoid work. There's not really
a lion out there.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
It's a metaphor.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
But in ancient Israel, uh, while beasts was prevalent, because
you know they were the land was uncultivated and so
there was a real threat, but their.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Presence in populated areas was.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Not so gonna work. Now, David was in the fields.
You not in the fields. You in the city. Amen.
So the slacker just claimed and then he claimed he's
gonna be he's being gonna be killed, like there's actually
a lion in the public streets. Come on, sir, get
(15:22):
up and do what you need to do. If a
man don't work, neither shall he eat. But that's what
he was. He's just making an observation what a sloughful
person or a slugger person. And we've been talking about
that in a few scriptures. Amen. Amen fourteen.
Speaker 7 (15:40):
The mouth of a strange woman is a deep pit.
He that it is a board, a board hoard of
the Lord shall fall therein.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
The sin of adultery is a trap, and the Lord
gets very angry with those who fall into it. A
strained woman is often referred to somebody that is not yours.
She's strange, and there's warning against the dangers of being
seduced by immoral women.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
But can we agree that it can go both ways?
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Amen? The difference between Joseph and Potiphar's wife, then David,
who was the strange man in Bathsheba's life.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Amen, So adultery.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Adultery is somebody that somebody is already married for on
occasions between two people that aren't married, Amen, yield not
to temptation for yielding his sin. Each victory will help
you some others to win. Fight manually onward, dark passion, subdued.
Look over to Jesus because he's said that he'd be
(17:00):
upset with you.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
He will carry you through.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Ask the saviors to help you, comfort, strengthen, and keep you.
He is willing to aid you. He will carry you
through wisdom. The mouth of the strange woman. You know
she's strange. You know she's not yours, So stop listening
(17:30):
strange women. Amen. I know there are some in some
churches when some brothers have this attitude. I have friends,
but I'm gonna limit my female friends. But some people
don't care. They just they have all kinds of friends,
and most of their friends are females that will get
you in trouble. Amen. And it's not trying to be
(17:52):
mean or anything. Your What does scripture say?
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Don't let this flesh, this flesh is weak.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
Walk in the spirit.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Yeah, walk in the spirits. Some of us are minds
are too carnal. Sometimes you you you you're around them
too much. You're telling them too much of your business
at home. Amen. So that's a strange woman, yes, ma'am.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
And see the lips of a strange woman tell you
what you want to hear. Yes, it's it fees that
ego or vice versa, that strange man. Yes, what you
think you ain't getting at home, that mean you ain't
getting it. But what you think you ain't getting a home,
they appeal to that, whatever that is in you that
you haven't killed. When they appeal to that, then that's
(18:38):
when things begin to happen.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
That's what you said, you'll not temptation for yielding your sin.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
And like we had in the Suny School and James
when it was saying a man lusts when love has conceived,
bus has conceived it bringing for a sin. And what
I was saying is Cameo had a song that's back
out in the world, says she's strange, and I like it.
But even in the church, because this is the word
of God. It is the church people.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (19:06):
When you don't kill yourself, you like that strange stuff.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
It appeals to you.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
You find yourself smiling at somebody else's husband, smiling at
somebody else's wife, and then you open yourself up to
a whole lot of trouble is easy to get in.
It's hard to get out of it. Yes, and it
brings about shame as well.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Yes, it'll take you further than you want to go
and keep you longer than you wanted to stay. And
I want that's just just like when you're out in
the ocean and that ocean is going and you you
you thinking you on the shoreline and those waves are
coming in and you out in the deep water and
didn't really realize it.
Speaker 7 (19:45):
Amen, and I mean sister, sister more. She explained it perfectly,
but I wanted to add where it says it is
a deep pit. It's deep because it's not, as you
already say, it's not as easy to get out of.
(20:09):
And those things that you thought you was delivered from,
it's just like it opens up a can of worms,
and it's just like that that that ball going down
the hill, and it's getting bigger and bigger and bigger
and bigger and bigger and bigger, all these things you
thought you was delivered from where you thought it was
so easy to shake. That's why I say it's a
(20:31):
deep pit, because it's not so easy to get out of.
But with God, all things are possible.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
But flee, flee, flea Yes, don't put no confidence and
it's flesh. Amen, And I thought just came to me.
You know, we can talk about the slow phone and
the sluggard, and the sluggard is a If your mind
is idle, that strange woman can feed it, and you'll
(21:02):
you'll be making You'll make stupid excuses. You'll be making excuses. Oh,
I was just helping a sister out. Let the sisters
help the sisters. Let the brothers help the brothers. But
they don't listen. They think we being dogmatic. And even
(21:27):
in ministry, brothers, ministers, bring your wife. If you gotta
go to a female's house, bring your wife. She's gonna
have to get up. I don't know what they taught
at the convocation, but I know that if you're deaconess,
they call them deaconess's. But if you they call on
deacons to do things and you have a husband, you
(21:51):
can't turn over in that bed and say I'm not going. No,
you're not going by yourself. Did you gotta be safe
even in the church, especially in the church, you don't
want your name. I mean, stuff is coming out now,
all that stuff, apostle, we're talking about this. The cover's
(22:12):
been pulled off. So brothers that are evangelists, sisters that
are evangelists. And if a brother calls you to come over,
bring your husband with you, bring your wife with you,
bring somebody with you. Amen. Be careful with the men too. Amen.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Fifteen.
Speaker 7 (22:41):
Foolish is bound in the heart of a child, but
the ride of correction shall drive it far from him.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Foolishnessnessness, I hear apostle, this is a whole lot. It's
a whole lot foolishness, a whole lot of foolish in
the child. And it's tied in there. It's bound up
in there. It's in their heart. So they gonna do
(23:11):
it like say it's so funny. When they do something bad,
they say, what it's foolishness, and it's in their heart. Amen.
It's part of a growing process for a child to
be foolish. The behavior is naturally in in children due
to lack of wisdom. So we are the ones that's
(23:31):
supposed to be training up the child, right, and you
don't wait until they get ten and twelve years old
to start training them. Get out of my face, Get
out of my mouth.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
I'm talking.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Get off me. But we have to think about the
right type of discipline and guidance. The right type of
discipline and guidance will direct their actions in their choice
and make them think twice before repeating the foolish behavior.
A child left to himself will continue to be foolish
(24:09):
unless he's taught and discipline. It follows off with Proverbs
twenty two and six Train up a child. The rod
of correction does not have to be an actual rid,
although they are using Middle Easter in terms countries Proverbs
twelve and thirteen, twenty four, nineteen and eighteen. Back in
(24:34):
the how many remember when these American children went overseas
to one of those Middle Eastern states and they got
in trouble and they got rotted. They got rotted, that's
the punishment. They went by the word They got with
(24:56):
many stripes and they did not die. But I bet
you when they came back home they wouldn't do something
like that. I think it was some type of graffiti
or something they had done. They did something crazy overseas, amen,
and they and their punishment was to be rotted. But
I just wanted to make this point that the rod
of correction can be your words. It doesn't always have
(25:19):
to be some you know your children. If you have
two or three four children, two children, one of them
you can talk to the other one you can try
to talk to. But talking to you, see, talking ain't
working right now. So I need you to bend over
whatever discipline, whatever correction that you decide to do.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
If it works for you, let it work.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
But also remember when you use that rod, it's not
for the head and not for their back. There's places
where you're supposed to beat them. Even though this world
is talking about corporate punishment is out. The paddling they
(26:07):
used to do now they don't wanna do it anymore.
Kids gonna say, I'm gonna call CPS. Go ahead, after
I pore you, go ahead and call them. Let them
take care of you.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
And then if you.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Leave them where they are, you're you're cited for abandonment.
Well you wonna let me discipline them? So what am
I supposed to do? Give them cookies and ice cream?
So a child left to himself will continue into foolishness
unless he is taught. Saints of God, we have to
(26:39):
teach mothers, fathers. We have to teach, just like when
we talk about the scripture. Why we have to say
the same scriptures over and over the same thing.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
With your children.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
You have to tell them over and over until they
get the message.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Amen, all right. Sixteen.
Speaker 7 (27:01):
He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and
he that give it to the rich, shall surely come
to want.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
These two things.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Make you poor, hurting the poor to make yourself rich,
and given to the rich. Because the rich they may
give you give gifts to the rich. They may give
you something, but they don't have to. But you're really
hurting the poor. This is just another proverbs dealing with
the injustice of the oppression of the poor. We've talked
about that. This has said it in another way.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
You you take from the poor, you take advantage of them.
Doing this is usually done to make yourself wealthy.
Speaker 9 (27:43):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
How does he get price price guarded? Overcharged? Withholding somebody's pay.
That's making you rich, especially if they're here here illegally.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
You taking advantage.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Well, you're not supposed to be here anyway, So I'm
just gonna dock your pay. No, they work, you should
pay them. If you don't feel like they should be here,
don't let them work. But you don't work somebody for nothing.
Interest you borrow fifty dollars from me, you gotta pay
(28:20):
me to double up. You gotta pay me two hundred
and fifty dollars back if I went to you because
I needed it.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Now you're gonna double it up on me.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Amen, And you give gifts to the wealthy in order
to gain favor.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Again, this proverb encourages.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
To treat everyone fair, and we've talked about that seventeen
and eighteen goes together.
Speaker 7 (28:47):
Bow down thine ear and hear the words of the Wise,
and apply thine heart onto my knowledge, onto my knowledge eighteen.
Speaker 6 (28:57):
For it is a pleasant thing.
Speaker 7 (29:00):
Thou'll keep them within thee they shall with all be lifted,
be fitted in thy lips.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Listen, bow down your ears, listen carefully to these words
from the Wise, and pay attention to what you have learned.
Incline your ear, apply it. And when you incline your ear,
you're hearing. And when you apply it, you do it.
Just like the recent Sunday School lesson doers of the word.
(29:29):
When you hear it, if it's wisdom and it's the
wise saying, you need to do it, apply it to
your life. Guys, and I have to use him because
he's around me a lot. He does things and then
he says sorry, and then he does it again. Sorry.
If you're sorry, you will not keep doing it. I'm sorry. No,
(29:49):
you're not sorry. You just saying that. Amen, So don't
just accumulate the knowledge and don't put it to use.
Because see, looks like you said, train but child, the
way it should go. It knows you got the knowledge,
you got the wisdom, you got the wherewithal, but you're
(30:09):
not using it. You're not applying it to your life.
I hear you, Mama, I hear you, daddy, but you're
not applying it.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Apply what you have learned.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Amen, put it to use.
Speaker 9 (30:25):
Stinking about when it said bowed down. That takes humility
to humble yourself, to bow down, because you can think
that you know more than what that wise person is
telling you, and then they'll keep you from humbling yourself.
Bound their ear down, because it takes for you to
recognize that you don't know everything for you for you
(30:47):
to humble yourself, you know, basically, bound their ear down,
bringing it down to where they is so you can
hear it and then to be able to apply it.
So just humility, like I could say, mentally to understand
that you don't know everything.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Amen. Amen. When you get those two numbers together, it's
hard to be humble. The benefit of wisdom is not
just knowing it, but applying it and sharing it effectively.
Like the scripture says, when thou art converted, strengthen thy
brother or thy sister, because it says, it will be
good for you to remember these words and have them
(31:26):
ready when they are needed, meaning would you be able
to spit it back out? Amen? Nineteen twenty and twenty one.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
I believe they all go together to.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
And it actually is continuing with eighteen, okay, because it's
saying eighteen ends with them, that them ready. Let me
even start it from beginning. It will be good for
you to remember these words, because he says seventeen. Carefully,
pay attention, bow down, pay attention to what you have learned.
(32:04):
Remember these words, and have them ready when they are needed. Amen.
And then nineteen says.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
What.
Speaker 7 (32:14):
That thy trust may be in the Lord I have
made known to THEE this day, even to THEE.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
I will teach you these things now, and I want
you to trust the Lord. Because basically, if wisdom is
heard and applied effectively and effectively communicated. You will ultimately
want to trust in the Lord, because wisdom comes from
the Lord. Wisdom comes from the Lord. And he's continuing
(32:44):
on twenty Have not I.
Speaker 7 (32:47):
Written to THEE excellent things in councils and knowledge twenty one.
Speaker 6 (32:57):
That I might make THEE known.
Speaker 7 (33:00):
The certainty of the words of truth, that thou mightest
answer the words of truth to them that sin unto THEE.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
These are words of advice and wisdom that He's given us.
And he said, I will teach you these things, you
things that you can.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
Know for sure to be true.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Then you can give good answers to one to the
one that sent you. The person of integrity will communicate
what is right and what is true. Whatever you've been taught,
you are going to teach it to be able to
teach it to others. And UH when he says that
(33:40):
I might make THEE known know the certainty of words
and truth, that thou mightst answer the words of truth
to them that sin a sin unto THEE. Whatever I
tell you gonna you're gonna.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Say it right.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
If I give to some more something or tell sus
some more or something, she's not gonna change the wording,
and then when it gets back to me, well that's
not what I said, she can't say well, that's what
I thought you said. So the person that's communicating theys
to make sure my kids when they were coming up
sometimes they'll say, well, mamma, that's not what you said.
(34:15):
So what I would do would tell them something. And
then I say, well, now what did I just say.
Now if you say verbad and what I said, that's
what I'm expecting you to do. That's what I'm expecting
you to say. Don't change the wording, because you in
text messages, when you change the word, you change the content,
(34:36):
you change the context of what you're trying to say. Amen,
all right, twenty two were just about through twenty two.
Speaker 7 (34:47):
Rob not the poor because he is poor, neither oppressed
the afflicted.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
In the gate, it is easy to steal from the poor,
but don't do it and don't take advantage of them.
In the court, when it talks about the city gate
in the Bible times, it was a place where legal
matters were tried and decided, it says Uh. In Biblical times,
(35:20):
the city gate was more than just a physical entrance
that you go into. It was a vital hub for social, economic,
and legal activities, serving as a place of judgment, commerce,
and community community gathering. It was where the elders would
meet to make decisions, disputes were resolved, and business transactions
(35:43):
took place. This has been done throughout the Bible, and
I don't think you, some of us may not have
quite understood.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
When you would hear somebody.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
The city, the city the city gate before Leopard's men,
was at the city gate, the man whom leaned on
the king, the king leaned on when the m the
stuff started, the food started coming in. They was at
the city gate. He was at the city gate and
(36:13):
got trampled. Right, if you had a wayward this this
dysfunctional child, you.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Took 'em to the city gate.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
And they lead the elders would decide whether they gonna
get stoned or not. So in today's time, the court system,
it's the court system. Amen. So again, the poor and
the disadvantage should be treated with respect and dignity, compassion
and fer fairness, for the Lord will plead their cause
(36:48):
and spoil the soul of those that spoil them. You
something gonna happen. Some something's gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (36:56):
Because I was just thinking.
Speaker 9 (37:01):
Came to my mind, like, don't kick a man while
he's already down.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
Yes, this is what I was thinking about.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
Cause they already poor.
Speaker 9 (37:07):
They don't impress the afflicted like they already going through.
Why add more to 'em?
Speaker 1 (37:14):
And and does somebody know why God was so j
God was so determined to get that across to his people,
that's what happened to them. I want you to remember how.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
You were treated.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
And we as saints of God, we have to remember
where we were and how we were before we got saved.
And when you see somebody that's like, I don't understand
why they don't understand it took you a minute to
get on to get an understanding. You didn't get saved
when you were twelve years old. Ten years old. Amen,
(37:58):
So don't kick a man while he's down. But I
want you to remember how you were your mindset. We
can't get frustrated. We can get frustrated within ourselves, but
we can't get frustrated with people.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
If we get frustrated.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Within ourselves, we have to say the frustration comes to us,
to us as how can I get this across to
this person? Because everybody is not the same. All the
words you use may not affect affect everybody the same way.
So we gotta find We gotta learn to pray for
(38:34):
desertment and how to deal with when you're gonna witness.
You must be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
Amen, all right?
Speaker 1 (38:46):
Twenty four, twenty four and twenty five.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
May put those together.
Speaker 7 (38:54):
Make no friendship with an angry man, and with a
furious man not go Lets thou learn his ways and
get a snare to thy soul.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Don't be friends with people who become angry easily. Don't
stay around quick tempered people. If you do, you may
learn to be just like them. Then you will have
the same problems they have. Amen. Again, it can be
a man or a woman given to quick quick anger
(39:28):
quickly is dangerous. We talked about this, So be careful
who you hang with. I don't care whether they save
or not. They supposed to be saying. If you they
got those those characteristics, you need to stay away fro them.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
Go ahead.
Speaker 5 (39:43):
It's evil communication. That's scripture good manners, because when you
you know, even like when you go back to training
up the child and all this stuff. Were talking about.
First thing, you tell them stay away from them kids,
them bad ones and bullies and this and that. It's
the same thing when you hang with people like that,
say birds.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
Of a feather, that's in my notes too.
Speaker 5 (40:03):
But if you not a bird of that feather, but
you start hanging with them birds, get them feathers.
Speaker 1 (40:07):
Yes, that's right, amen. That was my scripture first, first
Corinthians fifteen and thirty.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
Three, he.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Be not deceived.
Speaker 1 (40:17):
Evil communication corrupts good manner. And then Proverbs thirteen and twenty,
which we've had before. He that walks with wise men
shall be wise, but a command and but a companion
or friend of.
Speaker 2 (40:29):
Fools shall be destroyed.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
You will eventually become like minded, just like them. They
used to say. If you don't want to be known
as a prostitute, stop hanging around them, stop looking like them.
If you want to fly with the eagles, you have
to stop swimming with ducks. If you want to fly,
you have to give up the things that weigh you down.
(40:53):
And when you start picking up habits of other people.
And another thing too, we haven't said. A person that
is given to anger quickly is dangerous. You can get
killed playing with those folks. Bullets don't don't have anybody's
name on it. And you playing around with this fool,
(41:15):
this person that get upset and angry and they gonna
shoot him, but they accidentally shoot you because because you
were with him, and they associate you with them. But
try to tell these young folks this. Now, I'm not
like that, but you not like that. But you hanging
around like that, don't tell me you're trying to witness
(41:36):
to him. What do you got to witness? Witness to
him over the phone, witness to them in a text message.
Don't hang with them, because there's been a lot of kids,
a lot of people, a lot of men, women and
children dead because they hanging around the wrong people, listening
to the wrong people. Oh they think that's cool. Amen,
(42:03):
we need to apply this twenty six and twenty seven.
I think they go together too.
Speaker 7 (42:12):
Be not that one of them that strike hands, or
of them that are sureties of debts. If thou hast
nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed
from under thee All.
Speaker 1 (42:27):
Right, this is what we're talking about again. Sureties co signing.
Don't promise to pay someone else's debt if you cannot pay.
If you cannot pay, you will lose everything you have
because you are a collateral. Amen, So why should you
lose your bed that you sleep on? What are they
(42:51):
gonna lose? Nothing wanted against guaranteeing someone's desk, Avoid unnecessary,
be wise, and don't do it. So some up and said,
don't you do it? It's a recipe for disaster. Co
signing puts the co signer at risk. So why should
(43:13):
he take away thy bed from under thee I just
brought the scripture back in there. Amen. Now he's warning.
But now if you had the money, hey go ahead.
But if you if you scrap to and you short,
your money is funny and your change is trained. Uh huh.
(43:34):
I can't do that, can you? Can you do it
for me? Can you do it for me? You can't
do it for me. I can't do it for you.
What do they say?
Speaker 4 (43:43):
Now?
Speaker 1 (43:44):
Work it out, work it out, figure it out. You
gotta figure it out. That's your house. You gotta figure
it out. Amen. Twenty eight.
Speaker 7 (43:57):
Remove not the ancient landmark which thy fathers have sick.
Speaker 1 (44:03):
Never move an old property line that was marked long
ago by your ancestors. This has a lot in it.
It emphasizes the importance of respecting traditions that was established
boundaries back in the day. In ancient time, landmarks were
physical markers like stones, and that it defined the property lines.
(44:27):
So he's saying, don't do that. That's being unfair. Amen, And
also respect the wisdom and decisions of those who came
before us. George Santana says, he who does not learn
from his past is condemned to repeat it. He who
(44:50):
does not learn from his past is condemned to repeat it.
So we need to respect the traditions. Now, some traditions
may be out of we don't do 'em anymore. But
there's good reasoning why. I mean, there's you know, the
(45:11):
laws that they've made. Sometimes they have to amend them
because it used to be a law that you couldn't
spit on the ground. This is crazy, you know, s
a lot of laws they just just just made. But
see they had to amend them. Amen, Okay, nine twenty nine.
Speaker 7 (45:30):
See, it's that a man diligent in his business, he
shall stand before kings. He shall not stand before mean men.
Speaker 1 (45:40):
Mean men. Skilled workers will always serve kings. They will
never have to work for less important people. Just have
to be diligent in business. Right, What does diligent mean?
(46:01):
Handle your business the way you're supposed to handle it. Amen.
And he that stands before, yeah, he stands before. He
will always be able to serve. People will when you
do your do your part. When you do your part,
they will never have to work for less important people.
Speaker 2 (46:18):
Sometimes when we.
Speaker 1 (46:22):
As as entreprene as entrepreneurs, we have to be diligent
and skillful. Amen. And when you're diligent and skillful, they
don't care who you are where you come from. You
could be from the projects, but you're skillful in what
(46:45):
you do, and I need you on my team. You
could be from buck Tuck, Mississippi, but I need what
you have. See Sometimes I think since I think Sister
(47:06):
A said one time that you know people because she's
from What did you say to East Texas? The country
think they think country folks are ignorant, just like they
thought a lot of blacks was ignorant. Well, I'm ignorant
to your world. But once I learn it, you can't
take it away from me. You can't take it away
(47:28):
from us. Ainmen, anybody that as a student in whatever
they you can't take that electronics out of them. You
can't take that business mind out of them. You can't
take that nursing, that the way they nurse, the ability
to help people. Everybody that's a nurse is not a
true nurse. Some of them just in it for the money.
(47:52):
But like he's saying, if your skilled worker will always
you're always needed, don't count yourself out.
Speaker 2 (48:00):
You will always be needed.
Speaker 1 (48:03):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (48:05):
And I believe that's it.
Speaker 1 (48:07):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (48:08):
I enjoyed this partion, Amen.
Speaker 5 (48:11):
It was.
Speaker 1 (48:11):
I mean, some of the stuff, some of the that
we were talking about, was repetitive. But like I said,
when it's repeated, it's just said in a different way,
that's all. And it makes us understand more. It opens
up our understanding even more. Amen. Let's stand to our
feet and man, we thank God for another interactive Bible study.
(48:31):
Give yourselves a hand. And I hope I did the
explanation justice. Amen. Sometimes when I go back, I think
of something else to say, so I have to kind
of write them back in my notes. So when I
start typing up my book is gonna be even bigger. Amen.
Just anybody here that you know needs something from the
from the Lord, whether you're saved or not.
Speaker 2 (48:53):
Save.
Speaker 1 (48:54):
If you're not saved, come on down. It's seemed like
it's all of us today tonight.
Speaker 2 (49:00):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (49:00):
But those that are listening, we're asking that you know,
we're hoping and praying that these Bible studies are getting
your mind triggered as to there is a better way.
There is a better way, And I'm not gonna give
up the fight. Amen.
Speaker 2 (49:18):
I can do better, Amen.
Speaker 1 (49:20):
But if I have, if I'm gonna be wise, I'm
gonna have to ask of God. I'm asking you all
to pray for me because I'm asking God for direction.
But I'm in that he's in that silent mode. So
I'm gonna stand still and I'm gonna mark time until
(49:41):
he says what he's gonna say. So I need you
all to be praying with me because it's not a
good feeling even though we sing that song, even when
I can't feel it, even when I can't see it.
But he's there. I have to believe that he's there.
(50:04):
And he didn't bring us this far to leave us. Amen,
those that are listening, he didn't bring you this far
to leave you. No matter what you see and what
we're facing, God is able. He wants us to believe
him even when we don't hear him, hear him say
anything I think about Daniel.
Speaker 2 (50:26):
Was it Daniel that prayed? He prayed?
Speaker 1 (50:32):
God heard him the first time he prayed, but his
answer was held up for over twenty some days. Those
twenty some days can be twenty some years because there's
no time with God.
Speaker 2 (50:49):
We the one.
Speaker 1 (50:50):
He's his time. We might say, well, Lord, it's been
twenty one days, but to him it's just been twenty
one seconds.
Speaker 2 (50:58):
Amen, Praise God. Lift your hands. Lord.
Speaker 1 (51:04):
We want to thank you for your word.
Speaker 2 (51:07):
Lord.
Speaker 1 (51:08):
We're asking that you just give us ears to hear
your word. Bow down our ears and incline, and let
us continue to be doers and not just hearers only.
Speaker 2 (51:20):
Don't allow us.
Speaker 1 (51:21):
To accumulate all this knowledge and do nothing with it.
Speaker 2 (51:27):
Let us be.
Speaker 1 (51:28):
Let us shine like bright, like diamonds. Let us be
that city that's set up on a hill. Let us
be the salt of the world. In the name of Jesus,
we thank you, Lord Jesus, for your word. We thank
you for your people. We ask Lord that you just
bless them from the crown of their heads to the
souls of their feet.
Speaker 2 (51:47):
Whatever they're going through.
Speaker 1 (51:48):
Lord Jesus, let this word permonate into their spirits, soul
and mind, that we will do better, and do better,
and do better, and get closer and closer to you,
Oh God, so we could hear your voice, your clear voice.
Speaker 2 (52:05):
Not make a mistake.
Speaker 1 (52:06):
But it's you, O Lord, it's you, O Lord, And
we thank you for the name of Jesus.
Speaker 2 (52:10):
We pray Amen.
