Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here another day with Jesus. Amen, I was listening to
all the testimonies and I just thank God for my life,
my health's and my strength. I think in praise God
for how he came into my life, how he saved
me at a young age. Amen. And like the sister
was saying, the stuff that some of the young people
(00:20):
want to do, I really didn't have a mind to
do it. I didn't want to do it, you know,
So I mean square or I was the stone that
the builders just allowed and want. Now God wanted me.
Praise God. But I just think in praise God because
you know, like she was saying, I don't understand what
they say. They couldn't do nothing. I don't understand that.
(00:46):
But I mean the worldly stuff they wanted to do. Now,
if it was worldly stuff they wanted to do and
they didn't have a mind to do it, what do
you want to do at a young age? Drinking is
out of the question, smoking is out of the question,
and running around is out of the question. You had friends,
but we were selective about the friends. And I had
(01:08):
admonished parents to be selective about their friends and know
who their friends are. They didn't spend the night at
everybody's house. We had a lot of they didn't have
a lot of well, they did have a lot of cousins.
So but so you can get in trouble with cousins
toom uh huh yeah so so, but you know, we
(01:29):
have to be cautious, and we were cautious parents. I'm
gonna tell you the truth. I was scared. I didn't
want nothing to happen to my kids, so they had
to be around me. Amen. If they're around me, then
I know nothing's gonna happen. Amen. But I think in
praise God because they didn't get in a lot of stuff,
and they may have experimented with things, but I didn't
(01:49):
know it. And if they did experiment it, I guess
they didn't like it so they stopped doing it or
didn't do it anymore. Amen. So we just thinking praise
God for just being here. And I was thinking as
they were testifying, as everybody was testifying, that scripture that
says who is in this who is here that's seen
(02:09):
this house in his first glory? And how do you
see it now? And that's been weighing on my mind
because I know what UHDT used to look like. Amen.
But I'm encouraged to know that we're living in that
day where he's gonna have a remnant, and a remnant
(02:33):
is not a full house. But he did say whether
two or three gathered together, not just gathering together, but
in My name, he was gonna be in the mist,
so he can be in the miss. We gotta get
our when I say, we gotta get the minds off
(02:53):
the crowd, because I'm telling you God has blessed UHDT.
When you think uh especially when you know we have
bills to pay, we are meeting our bills. And when
you look out and you say, well, where's the money
coming from, we're working on We're living on apostles, vision
(03:17):
by faith, by faith. Amen. So I have to praise
God for that because I can look out and say,
oh my God, what are we gonna do this month for?
And then when we do the turn in or whatever
we do, and I say, okay, all right, we're gonna
be able to pay the bills this month, and I
just thinking, praise God for that. He said he would
bless us with our daily bread. I'm not looking for
(03:41):
something up ahead. I'm looking for the now. I need
the bread today. I need to pay for the bread today,
not tomorrow, but today. And God is blessing you, HDT.
And I'm admonishing you all to keep it up. Praise God.
We have those that go out of town, they leave
their offerings, or when they come back in town, they
(04:05):
they bring their offerings with them. They don't forget, like okay,
Wednesday night, I wasn't here, so I don't need to pay.
They leave their offerings. Amen. And I appreciate that. Amen.
The Lord appreciates that. He appreciates a cheerful giver. So
we are in the book of Proverbs. Amen. And we
(04:26):
finished Proverbs twenty. But we're gonna have a take back
take what. We're gonna have a little talk on what
you all got out of the last ten verses of
Proverbs twenty. Amen. Somebody's ready to go praise the Lord? Yes,
(04:48):
and be ready. I did say be ready. You know
what we're gonna do this, Like the conductor said, this
is interactive. So if you have something to say, be
also ready. Stand up and and and say your peace,
speak your truth, yes, ma'am.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Okay, So I need you to move, I'm sorry, I
will okay, praise the Lord. Okay, Well, I uh have
a few takeaways, just just a couple.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
The first one is really was not scriptural. But when
I go back and I always listen to the podcast
to renew that that brain of mind. And uh, when
I did that, I the beginning of the service, you
talked about, uh, the songs that you sing, you need
to live it and and in this you said, Uh.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
You brought up one song.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
There's a storm out of the so the ocean and
it's moving this away and that song it's something that
I used to hold on to when I first joined you, HDT.
I actually sing that song like just throw my head,
bake this.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I just knew I had it.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
But then and as I moved on in God, there
was a song that God just put in my heart
that is just it's still with me, and it's it's
hard for me not to respond when I hear it. Jesus,
I will never forget. That's my strength, that's my purpose,
because everything that I go through is like, I will
(06:20):
never forget. I will never forget the day I woke
up and I couldn't walk, but God, I'm walking now.
I will never forget when I thought that I was
not gonna have a place to stay, and you provided
me over and above. Just I will never forget. That's
that's what I got from that. That was the beginning
in the podcast. Then in the verses of Proverbs twenty
(06:45):
and twenty two, it talked about let me let me
read it that.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
I don't want to mess up.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
I don't want to mess up what I'm saying because
it kept coming. I said, Lord, I need your help
with this. This is one that I really need help with.
And I know God is doing He's doing what he
needs to do in my life because I need him, yes,
and I don't. I'm the kind of person I don't
say a lot about what's going on in my life
(07:16):
and what I'm going through.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I just the joy of the Lord is my strength.
But here in.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Verse twenty two they say say, not now, I will
recompense evil, but wait on the Lord and he shall save.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Thee made a note.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
We know that the Bible tells us the revenge is mine,
said the Lord. My prayer is that we will live
long enough that God will bless in every negative situation,
and he will strengthen us the person that we feeled
out that if you feel like that wronged us and
that that situation, that God will still bless in that situation.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
And he gave me a scripture Psalms one on nine
and three.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
They can pass me about also with words of hatred,
of hatred and fought against me without a cause for
my love. There are my adversaries, but I give myself
unto prayer, and they have rewarded me evil for good
(08:37):
and hatred for my love. But I magnify God tonight.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Because God is exactly who he say he is.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
And if I didn't take nothing from last week's lesson,
that right there and that little reference that help build
my strength up, and it helped me know that God
is still working on me. I remember when Sister A
was giving us this wonder when she was preaching on
Sunday before last and she brought us some things.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
I think on Father's Day.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
I think she and she said some things and I
kind of felt what.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
She was going with it.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
But at the same time, I said, God, if you
did it for her, you're gonna do it for me.
And I receive it right now, and so that's all
I have to say that.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Heymen, Amen, Amen, The last thing yesterday was really I mean,
last week was really good. I really enjoyed, just even
from the point of I was just thinking later on
in the week, I was just like how Solomon was
(09:48):
repeating ourselves. And sometimes it's just like, why are we
repeating ourselves? Why are repeating ourselves? I know sometimes my
students be like, it's Rogers. Well you already said that.
I said, well, I'm talking to the people in the
back that probably didn't that didn't hear. So just just
if you got it, hold on to it. But you know,
I like the fact that that he kept talking about,
(10:08):
you know, not being deceitful when we're talking about the
weights and just deceiving people. Like he not to say
that there's one sin greater than the other, but he
really despised that because he kept talking you don't don't
cheat people. But the last part the thirtieth verse, when
(10:32):
first Lady brought that out, me and Shreel just kept
him out. Mm because just the analogies. Thirty said, the
blueness of a wound cleanses away evil. So do stripes
the inward parts of the belly. The n IV said,
blows and wounds scrub away evil, and beating perge the
innermost being. I took that those blows and those wounds
(10:55):
are the trials that we go through. How it's working
some things out in us, it's purging some things out
in us. It's getting us where God want us to be.
And how she was seeing how sometimes when that when
that stone or whatever was being built, the pressure and
(11:19):
it turns into a diamond. That when she when she
kept it off with that, that was That's what the
main thing that stuck out with me and the listen.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
I just appreciate God and his word.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
I thank God for just being mindful of us to
repeat because sometimes we may forget, but I thank God
for his repeatedness where he keeps going and seeing the
things over and over to us to remind us even
if we don't remember it, or if we do remember it,
to help somebody.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
I thank God for the word. I just got one thing.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
My uh, what my take was verse twenty two kind
of piggybacking off of Sisteralila. But I love when first
lady said wait on the Lord's time and justice. And
this just brought back memories from like when my children
were smaller and me and their dad was going through
(12:21):
the things that we were going through and it was
just like they just thought he was the best person
in the world.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
And because I guess I was the main parent, he was.
He was the fun parent. They go places.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
But me, I'm at home struggling, trying to take care
of all of y'all at the same time and make
sure y'all got this, and make sure y'all got that.
But he get y'all, you know, maybe once or twice
out of the month or something like that. But my
mom always used to tell me, you know, when they
get older, they will see. When they get older, they
will understand what Mama had to go through and how
(12:59):
Mama had to deal with stuff. And now that they're older,
they're saying it. And now I'm not the bad parent anymore.
But I just appreciate God for baking by waits and
not trying to repay and not trying to do it
on my own timing, but just letting them grow up
(13:20):
and allowing them to see for themselves.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Amen.
Speaker 6 (13:26):
I don't have my readers, so I'm trying to read
this verse twenty three.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
You need a reader. We hold on. I think I
can make it out.
Speaker 6 (13:47):
Verse twenty three talked about the waits, which is what
sister NICKI brought up but I wrote down. One thing
I wrote down last week is we have to be
fair in all things. God does care how we do business.
I said, we the world tells us that it doesn't
matter how we make make money, but God wants us
(14:11):
to God warns us that dishonest scales are not good.
And another thing I wrote down for verse twenty seven,
it says there's nothing hidden that the Lord can't see.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
So that's what I can see. I'm enjoying this. It
should be all No, I don't hear it. It's on them.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
So I just had a couple of things as well.
I made a note about Proverbs twenty and it's a
chapter of Proverbs that makes us think, and specifically about
are you living wisely? That was the note I made
in my study and verse twenty one if it was
(15:11):
regarding getting an inheritance or begetting it hastily. If an
inheritance is gained too early in life, it would not
be blessed in the end. And we talked about the
prodigal Sun.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
As an example of that.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
And I made a notation on verse twenty seven that
nothing is hidden from God. Nothing is hidden from God
He's like a light into our innermost part, our innermost.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Chamber of our life, of our being.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
So there's nothing we can do and get away with
that God doesn't see and know about.
Speaker 7 (16:05):
Man, I just want to say something on twenty seven
my notes or the Lord. The Lord's light permeates the
human spirit, and he exposes hidden motives.
Speaker 8 (16:28):
His light, it permeates, I mean, it makes it really big,
and he exposes our hitten motives and we don't sometimes
we don't realize that we have hidden motives because we
just do the same thing over and over again.
Speaker 7 (16:44):
But He know that motive and you need to figure
it out to make sure that your motive is right.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Amen. And He's going to repeat it in this in
what we talk. So hold on to that the Hubbard. Amen. Amen.
So we think God, give yourselves a hand. It makes
me feel good that you can get a takeaway and
just expound on it, not just what I said, but
(17:14):
add to it. Amen. And this is how this is
gonna work. We can't we're not gonna get any higher,
get any further if we don't allow the word of
God to permeate inside of us and not just stay
inside of us, but be that light, be that salt. Amen.
So we're gonna start with chapter twenty one, and we're
(17:36):
gonna try to get to the first ten verses Proverbs
twenty one and one.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord,
as the rivers of water.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
He turneth it whethersoever he will. Amen. We've heard that
verse several times. Amen, Lords to the Lord. The king's
mind is like a ditch used to water the fields.
He can lead the king wherever he wants him to go.
(18:13):
And we have to understand that, but we as in
our physical we can't see it. Not only are the
steps of a good man ordered by the Lord. God's
sovereign power has the ability to regulate the minds of
(18:35):
and I go king slash leaders. He has control over
the hearts of leaders. And he reminds us that. Solomon
is reminding us that God is in control and can
influence those in position. And it can also give us
(18:57):
a reason to pray, because the scripture says to pray
for those that are in leadership position and ask God
to guide their hearts and their decisions, not just kings.
Leaders in the church, not just the pastor not just
(19:18):
the associate pastor, but leaders over the different auxiliaries were
not subject to just praying for just our prayers will
stop here. It's not gonna go any further. This is
as far as I'm gonna pray. Amen. We pray for
our young people. They're future leaders, they're leaders of tomorrow.
(19:43):
Some of them are leaders of today. Amen. So we've
heard this before, and we've got plenty of examples. Can
anybody just give me one example of a king's heart
that was in the hands Pharaoh Phedroh's won What about Cyrus?
(20:15):
He was a pagan king and God touched his heart
and supplied supply, gave him letters so they can get
those that good lumber in Lebanon, hired people smith's goloster,
people that work with the gold. He did all that, Amen.
(20:39):
And the people that God didn't have to his chosen
people didn't have to do nothing but do what he said.
And when the people read the letter letters, these were heathens.
They had to do what he said. Amen. So we
don't have to worry about number forty seven because whatever
he does God, we have to say that God is
(21:00):
in control and he's allowed it. So He's gonna make
a way for his people. If he allows it, we
have to accept H. Two.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes,
but the Lord pondereth the heart.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
All right, this is repeating since the hybrid people think
whatever they do is right. But the Lord Jesus the
reasons for everything they do. He knows what Apostle used
to say, your intent we may justify as we may
(21:45):
justify our actions. Oh, I can't come to church because
of this, and dah dah dah, and what do he
used to say? Tell the Lord your excuse and see
if he approves. Because we living in a day and
time where people are mamby pamby pee wee herman's soft bellies,
(22:07):
we let everything keep us out the house of God.
Back in the day, winter, spring, summer, fall, we didn't
have lights on at our house. We were coming to
the church because there's lights on in Goshen. And when
we didn't have lights, the kids did their homework by
(22:31):
before the lights went out, or they did a candle light,
or they took their books and was up in the
balcony doing their homework. So you're talking about a refuge
or go to children's church and do their homework down
there choir, rehearsal, come on, bring you books, be in
the back, do your homework. So it's a refuge for
(22:53):
more than just having church right. Sometimes we needed refuse
because some of the things that was going on in
our own homes. Sometimes we needed to get away for
some other reasons. And that'll be down the line. Praise
God and can hold that. Amen. So God is in control.
(23:17):
He has control over the hearts of leaders slash kings,
and it reminds us that God is in control and
can influence those that are in position. Amen. Amen. And
when we say we justify our actions, but God knows
our true motives and our intentions, it's a difference. We
(23:39):
have motives, but we are the motives pure. Amen. God
judges not only the outward behavior. Oh, I just love you.
I remember the movie of the Bad Seed. I love
you mommy just as sweet and tender, but inward was
(24:02):
like a little demon. But the matters of the heart
we still piggyback and off of what to the Hubbas said.
It's not just your outside, it's what's in your heart,
and what's truly in your heart. Sometimes you can't see
that because you got this facade. Amen. God, sees beyond
(24:30):
our justification and our rationalizations. What we rationalize in our justification.
He sees beyond that. He'll say, like, tell me something else,
And well, I can't do this because what he did
with Moses. I can't. I can't speak. I got, I
(24:53):
got got, I got something for you. I got your brother, Aaron.
Now what you're gonna do, Amen, I got somebody be
your mouth? Peace? But I need you to go because
you the one that had that tie between the Pharaoh.
You guys were like brothers. He's not gonna respect Aaron.
Praise God Amen H three Verse three.
Speaker 5 (25:18):
To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the
Lord than sacrifice.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Back to those weights that you can pull the weights
in on this one. Do what is right and fair.
The Lord loves that more than your sacrifice. Obedience is
better than sacrifice. God is more interested in our integrity,
(25:48):
our fairness, how ethical our behavior is, than those rituals
that we do. That's the reason why he said, why
you're gonna take communion and you see your brother over
here in need, and you're gonna have a whole feast.
That's why I gotta set this communion thing up. It's
not about a feast. Amen. And most of the time
(26:14):
when you do sacrifices, give me Mark seven and eleven.
Rituals and sacrifices that are done with you're doing those
things without a sincere heart. You're just doing it just
to be doing it. You come into church because oh,
we're supposed to come to church on Saturday. We're supposed
to come to church on Sunday. We're supposed to come
(26:36):
to church on Sunday, Sunday morning, Sunday night, we're supposed
to go. I'm doing it just because the heart is
not in it. Amen. We give excuses. And one of
the examples of excuses that's not sincere is Mark seven
and eleven. I think that's what it is. Can you
(26:56):
read that for me, please?
Speaker 5 (26:58):
But ye say, if a man shall say to his
father or mother it is corbin, that is to say,
a gift by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me,
he shall be free.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
So what it is what the person is saying is
that back in the day, you're supposed to support your
mother and father if you know they fall on ill,
ill terms or whatever. But then they use the term
corbin to say, well, my money is for God. Not
(27:36):
for them, but are they using it for God or
using that term as an excuse not to help their parents.
That's exactly what that means. Amen. So our daily walk,
let daily walk should be also reflect our faith in
(27:57):
God by doing showing integrity, Amen, doing what's right and
fair in all aspects of our life. We can't do
for one and not for the other, and be fair.
We gotta be fair across the board. Amen, All right, four.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
And high, look and a proud heart, and the plowing
of the wicked is sin.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Proud looks and proud thoughts or sins they show the
person is evil looking at others like we better than
they are. That's being proud or having a haughty spirit.
Say that again, arrogance, Yes, it is not acceptable by
(28:49):
the Lord. A proud heart has a posture of one
that is full of self. Me, me, me, it's all
about me. Therefore, if you're full of self, and self
already knows self is unteachable, and we will learn that
in the beginning, you're not wise. We're forever learning. And
(29:14):
we can't be in a position where Okay, I'm the
pastor so can't nobody tell me nothing, no, that we're
gonna be forever learning, Amen, and we have to look
to Jesus, the author and the finisher of our faith
for things that we don't understand. There's gonna be some
things that we don't understand. I'm not understanding all this
(29:34):
AI stuff. I don't understand all the technical stuff that's
going on. And we need to implement some things in
our church in order to go forward, even though there
are some people that don't do it and they still
are prospering. Sometimes it's good to have a little techie
(29:57):
and you don't know all of it. I know, sometimes
our technical person said google it, but sometime we google
it and we don't know what we're googling, and we
need our technical person to give it to us in
layman's turn, explain it. Okay, can you just tell me
in in my language because I don't know what that mean. Amen.
(30:21):
I'm still trying to get around three sixty five. Praise God. Amen.
Now I was good back in the day, but now
it seemed like maybe I'm making it too hard. I'm
not sure. I may I might be making it too hard.
Am I making it too hard? I'm making it too hard? Okay?
All right, Praise God? Amen. So we're worry. Yeah, these ways,
(30:48):
these ways, proud looks and proud hearts can lead to
selfishness and sin. And you know, when you think you
are all that can nobody put any put anything in
you because you already know. You can't tell me I'm proud,
I'm arrogant. Do you know where I came from? I
(31:11):
didn't come from the projects. And you got people that
come from the project. You got people. So a lot
of times they think people come from the country don't
know nothing. They know more than what you know. They
have common sense. Sometime people in the city don't have
common sense. Praise God. I'm glad. I had a father
(31:32):
from the country, my mother from the country, and a
father from the city. So I had two. Amen, and
my kids got to You got somebody from the city
and somebody from the country, and when you put it
all together, we gonna live. Amen. And he uses that
(32:00):
metaphor of plowing, and that refers to work, right, and
you got to work in order to uh, you got
to work at being selfish. Amen. Work is so that
you're doing something they work at doing, except there is
not a change. There is change, and it will lead
(32:20):
to sin. You won't change because and it will lead
to sin, and sin when it is finished leads to death.
So you work in that plow, You work in that proudness, Amen.
Right to the The plowing of the wicked is sin.
You work in it right to the end. A man
(32:41):
I noticed that fleet use LUs because sin when it
is plus, when it's conceived, it brings forth Thus, when
it is conceived, it brings forth sin, and sin when
it's finished, bringing forth death. So I'm using the ending
part sin regardless of what it is, whether it's lust
(33:02):
or whatever. Sin, when it's finished it brings forth death. Amen. Five.
Speaker 5 (33:12):
The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness, but
of everyone that is hasty only to wont.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Careful planning leads to profit. Acting too quickly leads to poverty.
That's the easy read. So again he's emphasizing the importance
and the value of diligence and careful planning versus hastiness
and impulsiveness, impulsiveness which can lead to recklessness. All themnistssis Amen.
(33:50):
So that's what he's trying to tell us. We can't
be in too big of a hurry to do things
and not weigh out everything. That's like when people come
to will come to me or the pastor and he
would they have these ideas. That's the reason why we
want you to write it out. Write it out, and
(34:12):
then after we talk about it. Sometimes you can talk
about a thing and say, you know what, I don't
think that gonna work. Once you write it out and
talk about it, it's like, okay, that's that. But sometimes
it sounds so good and we just want to jump
on it. Let's go buy this sign and do this,
and do that and do that. We don't have the
(34:34):
money for a blinking sign like that right now. Just
let the lighted sign do its work. Especially if you're
getting ready to move, Why put all your money? Can
you take the sign with you? Yeah? But if it's
if it's one of those signs that's concreted and built up,
(34:59):
it will be if to move. Okay. So sometimes you
have to think outside the box and think not for
the now, but for what would Apostle used to say,
it could be a good idea, but is it for now?
Do I need it now? Or can I? Or can
I wait on it? That's not exactly how he said it,
(35:19):
but that's what he was trying to say, and sometimes
he we would have discussions and I would say, do
we need that right now? Do we have to have
that right now? Well, when you put it that way,
I guess we can wait. Do we need all these
you need to get three suits for ninety nine or
(35:40):
one hundred dollars right now? When? When? When? When Steve
Harvey say all you need is so many suits and
you can make so many matches together, it's a sale.
But you know what, I would tell him that same
sale is gonna be on three months from now. Do
you have the money? I don't like bills. I don't
(36:03):
like to be in debt. I do not like bills.
So if I don't have to get it right now,
I just won't get it right now. I will cut
the pantyhose out of one leg and put it on
the other leg. I will do that. Praise God. Amen.
If there's something more important that's needed, amen. I know
(36:26):
some of y'all look at me like, oh that is
not You just don't know my story. Praise God all right. Six.
Speaker 5 (36:41):
The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a
vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
Wealth that comes from telling lies disappears quickly and leads
to death. Wealth obtained through dishonesty is unstable. And and may,
I put may because sometimes we won't see the devastation
in our day, in our time, so you might say, well,
(37:12):
did nothing happen to them? May lead to destruction sooner
or later. Amen, ill gotten gain or riches can lead
just as quick as you got it. Mm hm. We
can't lie and cheat to get wealth as quickly as
(37:34):
you got it. You're gonna lose it that way. And
I said may, because sometimes people have wealth and they
got it and the ill gotten ways, and it's generational.
(37:55):
They got that wealth bad I mean, illegally, but their
generations are still prospering on it. But every tub it's
gonna sit on its own bottom. And we have to
go back to the scripture. God knows and we have
(38:17):
to accept what he allows. Amen seven.
Speaker 5 (38:25):
The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them because they
refuse to do judgment.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
The bad things that people do will destroy them because
they refuse to do what is right. It's the law
of reaping and sow. And we've had this before, but
not in this manner, not said like this. If you
live by the sword. You may I said. I was
gonna say be specific, but I said you may die
(38:55):
by the sword, you may die by something else. That's
putting my personal input in. Those who engage in violence
will ultimately be destroyed by their own actions. You're gonna
have to suffer the consequences of what you do. If
(39:15):
you don't check yourself, you can end up dead or incarcerated.
If we don't check ourselves, even in the church, we
can becoming a church and we're dead. Or we can
(39:35):
be in jail and not know it. In church in
jail and not know it. Amen. So it's the law
of reaping and so on. And he's just letting us
know that bad things happen to evil people, and we'll
(40:00):
evilness will destroy you because if you refuse to do
what's right, if you refuse to listen to wise counsel,
something is bound to happen, whether it be good or
whether it be evil. Eight.
Speaker 5 (40:18):
The way of man is forward and strange, But as
for the pure, his work is right.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
Easy Read says, criminals cause trouble wherever they go, but
good people are honest and fair. We're talking about that same.
But a forward person is somebody habitually disposed and prone
to disobedience and opposition, always contention with this person. So
he's just contrasting the character of a crooked person and
(40:47):
a good person and what their outcome will be a man,
sometimes the outcome of a person may not it's not
conducive to the life that they're living. Amen. But somebody
(41:08):
that's habitually disposed and prone to disobedience, he's always into trouble. Amen.
So he's saying that the pure is gonna it's gonna
work all right for the pure person, but something's gonna
(41:29):
happen to that fra work person reaping and so on you.
So if you're so wrong, you're gonna reap wrong. Amen. Nine.
Speaker 5 (41:40):
It is better to dwell in a corner of the
house town than with the with a brawling woman in
a wide house.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
It is better to live in a small corner on
the roof than to share the house with a woman
who is always arguing. This is the value he's teaching us,
the value of a peaceful home. Now, we talked about
that contentious quarrelsome woman in Proverbs nineteen and thirteen. So
let me introduce you to her twin sister, the brawling woman.
(42:14):
She's quarrelsome, noisy fighting. She likes to fight, haven't you
got a lot of women that like to fight. But
let me turn a little curve. This can also refer
to a man also, So even though he said a woman,
it can refer to a man also. This beefahavior can
(42:35):
being grief to either smouse. You gotta quarrel some brawling man,
and you gotta quarrel some and brawling contentious woman. He said,
you'd rather be in the elements on the roof than
(42:58):
in the comfort of your own home. In the you
want to be in the corner, not spread out, and
you want to be in a corner. If you want
to be in a corner, you don't want to want
her to know what part of the roof you own
or he's on, she's on, or he's on, because she
can be on that roof too. Amen. He's promoting harmony
(43:22):
and helpfulness in the marriage situation and times change. You
got some men that are stuck in the fifties yet,
and still they want the wife to go to work
to help out. Now, if you want to stance to
(43:44):
be stuck in the fifties, fifties. Mean she stay at home,
take care of the children, make sure your food and
all that clothes and all that is together. But if
you want her to work outside the house, things are
gonna have to We're gonna have to help each other.
(44:06):
Apostles hands wasn't too good to clean the toilet. He
started washing his own clothes, not because I wasn't washing him,
because he pat it in a separate Uh. He didn't
put his clothes with mine. So when he got ready
to wah, when I got ready to wash. When I
get ready to wash, I searched out all the clothes.
(44:27):
When he get ready to wash, he washed his. I
didn't get upset. I just would laugh. If a piece
of my clothes was in his, Is this yours? You
can't fold it? Amen. So this behavior can be, like
(44:48):
I said, can bring grief to either of the spouse.
So where would you rather? They would rather be in
the company. They don't want to be in a company
of each other. But we should want to be in
the company of each other one another, and sometime we
need our space. But this is not what this is
talking about. But this person would rather be on the
(45:08):
roof in the elements in a corner, hiding than to
deal with allowed brawling woman. Like I said, it can
be a man too, but we're gonna stick with the
women right now. Okay, all right, all right, let's get
(45:29):
ten and we'll be finished.
Speaker 5 (45:33):
The soul of the wicked desireth evil. His neighbor find
it no favor in his eyes.
Speaker 1 (45:39):
Now, we had something like this before. Evil people always
want to do more evil, and they show no mercy
to people around them. The wicked person's evil ways and
lack of compassion for others. And it talks about a neighbor,
But a neighbor can be anybody, heymen. Wicked people are
selfish and they only think about their own needs. You know,
(46:00):
when you see these movies where somebody's trafficking somebody else's
daughter and you have a daughter, they have a daughter,
and you have an issue, what do they say, It's
just business? Is it just business? If it was your child?
They don't think about nobody but themselves. Amen, And I'm
(46:22):
pretty sure many of you all can think of instances
where evil people just think about themselves. They don't mind
going around shooting up folks, but when it's them, Oh mother,
oh mother, married mother of God, can you have mercy?
Please have mercy? That means their self is there only
(46:43):
think about themselves, but they don't think about the people
that they've destroyed. Amen, So we have to be he
uses they use statement, Well, that's what I just said.
They use statements like it's just business and you have
to deal with it, but they don't show mercy to
(47:03):
anybody that's around them because it's all about them. Amen.
Oh man, how many enjoyed themselves? Amen? It was a
lot in there, and a couple of things was I'm
glad sister Hubbard was the last one because she kind
of brought us in to twenty one. That her watch
and her statements was the segway to bringing us into
(47:26):
twenty one. And I like that. I like that. Amen.
Everybody's standing to your feet. We think and praise God
for the Word of God, and we're hoping and praying
that the word has touched somebody's heart. And we need
to allow this word to get in our hearts so
that we know how to live thereby, because sometimes we
(47:47):
feel like we are doing all that we can when
we're not doing all that we can. Amen. And God
is so good to us, and I keep I got
this tug in my heart because he's saying except what
God allows, and my body and my mind is trying
(48:11):
to do that, and I'm trying to allow him to
take this away from me, but it's still there. So
I'm soliciting your prayers. But as we stand to our feet,
there might be somebody here that this word touched them
and they really want to know God in a very
real way and not just surface. I really want to
(48:34):
know God. And if you are listening, all you need
to do is lift your hands and ask the Lord
to show me me, show me me. I need you
to meet me right where I am and say, Lord,
I need to be saved in a day and time
(48:57):
like this. I need to be saved. Plead with him.
Talk to him like you talk to anybody else. You
don't have to use big words to say Lord, I
need you to show me me and show me your glory,
show me where I need to go, show me what
I need to do in order to see your face
in peace. And after you do that and you've accepted
(49:18):
him as your personal savior, you got to take that
one next step, and that step is to be filled
with his spirit and ask him, say Lord, come into
my life and fill me with your spirit. There it is,
it's right there, he said. The word is not the
it's right at the tipial tongue. And you will begin
(49:41):
to speak in a language that you that He's given you,
not you've given yourself, not something that you've been taught,
but something that He's given you. And you'll try to
stop it and it won't stop. That is the the
infeeling of the Holy Ghost. It wasn't just for the twelve,
(50:02):
because if it was just for the twelve, they wouldn't
have been one hundred and twenty up there. Amen. So
we just thinking, praise God, and just lift your hands
and tell him, thank you, thank you for what you feel.
If you didn't get it right there, don't stop right there.
Keep pursuing him, he said. Anybody that wants wisdom wants
to know me, Ask me, he said, ask and it
(50:22):
shall be given thee. Keep pursuing it. You pursued drugs,
used to pursue women, You pursued everything else. Why not
try pursuing God and He will meet you right where
you are. Amen, and Amen, praise God those in the building.
(50:45):
If you need something from God, the time is now.
You can step out in the middle in the island,
come down and we will pray for you. We're asking
that we all continue to pray for those that are
sick and shut in praise God. Did get word about
brother Tron, and I'm asking he I didn't talk to
(51:11):
them today, but I told her that I will not
come up to see him until he's after after he's
out of ICU.
Here another day with Jesus. Amen, I was listening to
all the testimonies and I just thank God for my life,
my health's and my strength. I think in praise God
for how he came into my life, how he saved
me at a young age. Amen. And like the sister
was saying, the stuff that some of the young people
(00:20):
want to do, I really didn't have a mind to
do it. I didn't want to do it, you know,
So I mean square or I was the stone that
the builders just allowed and want. Now God wanted me.
Praise God. But I just think in praise God because
you know, like she was saying, I don't understand what
they say. They couldn't do nothing. I don't understand that.
(00:46):
But I mean the worldly stuff they wanted to do. Now,
if it was worldly stuff they wanted to do and
they didn't have a mind to do it, what do
you want to do at a young age? Drinking is
out of the question, smoking is out of the question,
and running around is out of the question. You had friends,
but we were selective about the friends. And I had
(01:08):
admonished parents to be selective about their friends and know
who their friends are. They didn't spend the night at
everybody's house. We had a lot of they didn't have
a lot of well, they did have a lot of cousins.
So but so you can get in trouble with cousins
toom uh huh yeah so so, but you know, we
(01:29):
have to be cautious, and we were cautious parents. I'm
gonna tell you the truth. I was scared. I didn't
want nothing to happen to my kids, so they had
to be around me. Amen. If they're around me, then
I know nothing's gonna happen. Amen. But I think in
praise God because they didn't get in a lot of stuff,
and they may have experimented with things, but I didn't
(01:49):
know it. And if they did experiment it, I guess
they didn't like it so they stopped doing it or
didn't do it anymore. Amen. So we just thinking praise
God for just being here. And I was thinking as
they were testifying, as everybody was testifying, that scripture that
says who is in this who is here that's seen
(02:09):
this house in his first glory? And how do you
see it now? And that's been weighing on my mind
because I know what UHDT used to look like. Amen.
But I'm encouraged to know that we're living in that
day where he's gonna have a remnant, and a remnant
(02:33):
is not a full house. But he did say whether
two or three gathered together, not just gathering together, but
in My name, he was gonna be in the mist,
so he can be in the miss. We gotta get
our when I say, we gotta get the minds off
(02:53):
the crowd, because I'm telling you God has blessed UHDT.
When you think uh especially when you know we have
bills to pay, we are meeting our bills. And when
you look out and you say, well, where's the money
coming from, we're working on We're living on apostles, vision
(03:17):
by faith, by faith. Amen. So I have to praise
God for that because I can look out and say,
oh my God, what are we gonna do this month for?
And then when we do the turn in or whatever
we do, and I say, okay, all right, we're gonna
be able to pay the bills this month, and I
just thinking, praise God for that. He said he would
bless us with our daily bread. I'm not looking for
(03:41):
something up ahead. I'm looking for the now. I need
the bread today. I need to pay for the bread today,
not tomorrow, but today. And God is blessing you, HDT.
And I'm admonishing you all to keep it up. Praise God.
We have those that go out of town, they leave
their offerings, or when they come back in town, they
(04:05):
they bring their offerings with them. They don't forget, like okay,
Wednesday night, I wasn't here, so I don't need to pay.
They leave their offerings. Amen. And I appreciate that. Amen.
The Lord appreciates that. He appreciates a cheerful giver. So
we are in the book of Proverbs. Amen. And we
(04:26):
finished Proverbs twenty. But we're gonna have a take back
take what. We're gonna have a little talk on what
you all got out of the last ten verses of
Proverbs twenty. Amen. Somebody's ready to go praise the Lord? Yes,
(04:48):
and be ready. I did say be ready. You know
what we're gonna do this, Like the conductor said, this
is interactive. So if you have something to say, be
also ready. Stand up and and and say your peace,
speak your truth, yes, ma'am.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Okay, So I need you to move, I'm sorry, I
will okay, praise the Lord. Okay, Well, I uh have
a few takeaways, just just a couple.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
The first one is really was not scriptural. But when
I go back and I always listen to the podcast
to renew that that brain of mind. And uh, when
I did that, I the beginning of the service, you
talked about, uh, the songs that you sing, you need
to live it and and in this you said, Uh.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
You brought up one song.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
There's a storm out of the so the ocean and
it's moving this away and that song it's something that
I used to hold on to when I first joined you, HDT.
I actually sing that song like just throw my head,
bake this.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I just knew I had it.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
But then and as I moved on in God, there
was a song that God just put in my heart
that is just it's still with me, and it's it's
hard for me not to respond when I hear it. Jesus,
I will never forget. That's my strength, that's my purpose,
because everything that I go through is like, I will
(06:20):
never forget. I will never forget the day I woke
up and I couldn't walk, but God, I'm walking now.
I will never forget when I thought that I was
not gonna have a place to stay, and you provided
me over and above. Just I will never forget. That's
that's what I got from that. That was the beginning
in the podcast. Then in the verses of Proverbs twenty
(06:45):
and twenty two, it talked about let me let me
read it that.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
I don't want to mess up.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
I don't want to mess up what I'm saying because
it kept coming. I said, Lord, I need your help
with this. This is one that I really need help with.
And I know God is doing He's doing what he
needs to do in my life because I need him, yes,
and I don't. I'm the kind of person I don't
say a lot about what's going on in my life
(07:16):
and what I'm going through.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I just the joy of the Lord is my strength.
But here in.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Verse twenty two they say say, not now, I will
recompense evil, but wait on the Lord and he shall save.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Thee made a note.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
We know that the Bible tells us the revenge is mine,
said the Lord. My prayer is that we will live
long enough that God will bless in every negative situation,
and he will strengthen us the person that we feeled
out that if you feel like that wronged us and
that that situation, that God will still bless in that situation.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
And he gave me a scripture Psalms one on nine
and three.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
They can pass me about also with words of hatred,
of hatred and fought against me without a cause for
my love. There are my adversaries, but I give myself
unto prayer, and they have rewarded me evil for good
(08:37):
and hatred for my love. But I magnify God tonight.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Because God is exactly who he say he is.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
And if I didn't take nothing from last week's lesson,
that right there and that little reference that help build
my strength up, and it helped me know that God
is still working on me. I remember when Sister A
was giving us this wonder when she was preaching on
Sunday before last and she brought us some things.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
I think on Father's Day.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
I think she and she said some things and I
kind of felt what.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
She was going with it.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
But at the same time, I said, God, if you
did it for her, you're gonna do it for me.
And I receive it right now, and so that's all
I have to say that.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Heymen, Amen, Amen, The last thing yesterday was really I mean,
last week was really good. I really enjoyed, just even
from the point of I was just thinking later on
in the week, I was just like how Solomon was
(09:48):
repeating ourselves. And sometimes it's just like, why are we
repeating ourselves? Why are repeating ourselves? I know sometimes my
students be like, it's Rogers. Well you already said that.
I said, well, I'm talking to the people in the
back that probably didn't that didn't hear. So just just
if you got it, hold on to it. But you know,
I like the fact that that he kept talking about,
(10:08):
you know, not being deceitful when we're talking about the
weights and just deceiving people. Like he not to say
that there's one sin greater than the other, but he
really despised that because he kept talking you don't don't
cheat people. But the last part the thirtieth verse, when
(10:32):
first Lady brought that out, me and Shreel just kept
him out. Mm because just the analogies. Thirty said, the
blueness of a wound cleanses away evil. So do stripes
the inward parts of the belly. The n IV said,
blows and wounds scrub away evil, and beating perge the
innermost being. I took that those blows and those wounds
(10:55):
are the trials that we go through. How it's working
some things out in us, it's purging some things out
in us. It's getting us where God want us to be.
And how she was seeing how sometimes when that when
that stone or whatever was being built, the pressure and
(11:19):
it turns into a diamond. That when she when she
kept it off with that, that was That's what the
main thing that stuck out with me and the listen.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
I just appreciate God and his word.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
I thank God for just being mindful of us to
repeat because sometimes we may forget, but I thank God
for his repeatedness where he keeps going and seeing the
things over and over to us to remind us even
if we don't remember it, or if we do remember it,
to help somebody.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
I thank God for the word. I just got one thing.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
My uh, what my take was verse twenty two kind
of piggybacking off of Sisteralila. But I love when first
lady said wait on the Lord's time and justice. And
this just brought back memories from like when my children
were smaller and me and their dad was going through
(12:21):
the things that we were going through and it was
just like they just thought he was the best person
in the world.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
And because I guess I was the main parent, he was.
He was the fun parent. They go places.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
But me, I'm at home struggling, trying to take care
of all of y'all at the same time and make
sure y'all got this, and make sure y'all got that.
But he get y'all, you know, maybe once or twice
out of the month or something like that. But my
mom always used to tell me, you know, when they
get older, they will see. When they get older, they
will understand what Mama had to go through and how
(12:59):
Mama had to deal with stuff. And now that they're older,
they're saying it. And now I'm not the bad parent anymore.
But I just appreciate God for baking by waits and
not trying to repay and not trying to do it
on my own timing, but just letting them grow up
(13:20):
and allowing them to see for themselves.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Amen.
Speaker 6 (13:26):
I don't have my readers, so I'm trying to read
this verse twenty three.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
You need a reader. We hold on. I think I
can make it out.
Speaker 6 (13:47):
Verse twenty three talked about the waits, which is what
sister NICKI brought up but I wrote down. One thing
I wrote down last week is we have to be
fair in all things. God does care how we do business.
I said, we the world tells us that it doesn't
matter how we make make money, but God wants us
(14:11):
to God warns us that dishonest scales are not good.
And another thing I wrote down for verse twenty seven,
it says there's nothing hidden that the Lord can't see.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
So that's what I can see. I'm enjoying this. It
should be all No, I don't hear it. It's on them.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
So I just had a couple of things as well.
I made a note about Proverbs twenty and it's a
chapter of Proverbs that makes us think, and specifically about
are you living wisely? That was the note I made
in my study and verse twenty one if it was
(15:11):
regarding getting an inheritance or begetting it hastily. If an
inheritance is gained too early in life, it would not
be blessed in the end. And we talked about the
prodigal Sun.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
As an example of that.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
And I made a notation on verse twenty seven that
nothing is hidden from God. Nothing is hidden from God
He's like a light into our innermost part, our innermost.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Chamber of our life, of our being.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
So there's nothing we can do and get away with
that God doesn't see and know about.
Speaker 7 (16:05):
Man, I just want to say something on twenty seven
my notes or the Lord. The Lord's light permeates the
human spirit, and he exposes hidden motives.
Speaker 8 (16:28):
His light, it permeates, I mean, it makes it really big,
and he exposes our hitten motives and we don't sometimes
we don't realize that we have hidden motives because we
just do the same thing over and over again.
Speaker 7 (16:44):
But He know that motive and you need to figure
it out to make sure that your motive is right.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Amen. And He's going to repeat it in this in
what we talk. So hold on to that the Hubbard. Amen. Amen.
So we think God, give yourselves a hand. It makes
me feel good that you can get a takeaway and
just expound on it, not just what I said, but
(17:14):
add to it. Amen. And this is how this is
gonna work. We can't we're not gonna get any higher,
get any further if we don't allow the word of
God to permeate inside of us and not just stay
inside of us, but be that light, be that salt. Amen.
So we're gonna start with chapter twenty one, and we're
(17:36):
gonna try to get to the first ten verses Proverbs
twenty one and one.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord,
as the rivers of water.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
He turneth it whethersoever he will. Amen. We've heard that
verse several times. Amen, Lords to the Lord. The king's
mind is like a ditch used to water the fields.
He can lead the king wherever he wants him to go.
(18:13):
And we have to understand that, but we as in
our physical we can't see it. Not only are the
steps of a good man ordered by the Lord. God's
sovereign power has the ability to regulate the minds of
(18:35):
and I go king slash leaders. He has control over
the hearts of leaders. And he reminds us that. Solomon
is reminding us that God is in control and can
influence those in position. And it can also give us
(18:57):
a reason to pray, because the scripture says to pray
for those that are in leadership position and ask God
to guide their hearts and their decisions, not just kings.
Leaders in the church, not just the pastor not just
(19:18):
the associate pastor, but leaders over the different auxiliaries were
not subject to just praying for just our prayers will
stop here. It's not gonna go any further. This is
as far as I'm gonna pray. Amen. We pray for
our young people. They're future leaders, they're leaders of tomorrow.
(19:43):
Some of them are leaders of today. Amen. So we've
heard this before, and we've got plenty of examples. Can
anybody just give me one example of a king's heart
that was in the hands Pharaoh Phedroh's won What about Cyrus?
(20:15):
He was a pagan king and God touched his heart
and supplied supply, gave him letters so they can get
those that good lumber in Lebanon, hired people smith's goloster,
people that work with the gold. He did all that, Amen.
(20:39):
And the people that God didn't have to his chosen
people didn't have to do nothing but do what he said.
And when the people read the letter letters, these were heathens.
They had to do what he said. Amen. So we
don't have to worry about number forty seven because whatever
he does God, we have to say that God is
(21:00):
in control and he's allowed it. So He's gonna make
a way for his people. If he allows it, we
have to accept H. Two.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes,
but the Lord pondereth the heart.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
All right, this is repeating since the hybrid people think
whatever they do is right. But the Lord Jesus the
reasons for everything they do. He knows what Apostle used
to say, your intent we may justify as we may
(21:45):
justify our actions. Oh, I can't come to church because
of this, and dah dah dah, and what do he
used to say? Tell the Lord your excuse and see
if he approves. Because we living in a day and
time where people are mamby pamby pee wee herman's soft bellies,
(22:07):
we let everything keep us out the house of God.
Back in the day, winter, spring, summer, fall, we didn't
have lights on at our house. We were coming to
the church because there's lights on in Goshen. And when
we didn't have lights, the kids did their homework by
(22:31):
before the lights went out, or they did a candle light,
or they took their books and was up in the
balcony doing their homework. So you're talking about a refuge
or go to children's church and do their homework down
there choir, rehearsal, come on, bring you books, be in
the back, do your homework. So it's a refuge for
(22:53):
more than just having church right. Sometimes we needed refuse
because some of the things that was going on in
our own homes. Sometimes we needed to get away for
some other reasons. And that'll be down the line. Praise
God and can hold that. Amen. So God is in control.
(23:17):
He has control over the hearts of leaders slash kings,
and it reminds us that God is in control and
can influence those that are in position. Amen. Amen. And
when we say we justify our actions, but God knows
our true motives and our intentions, it's a difference. We
(23:39):
have motives, but we are the motives pure. Amen. God
judges not only the outward behavior. Oh, I just love you.
I remember the movie of the Bad Seed. I love
you mommy just as sweet and tender, but inward was
(24:02):
like a little demon. But the matters of the heart
we still piggyback and off of what to the Hubbas said.
It's not just your outside, it's what's in your heart,
and what's truly in your heart. Sometimes you can't see
that because you got this facade. Amen. God, sees beyond
(24:30):
our justification and our rationalizations. What we rationalize in our justification.
He sees beyond that. He'll say, like, tell me something else,
And well, I can't do this because what he did
with Moses. I can't. I can't speak. I got, I
(24:53):
got got, I got something for you. I got your brother, Aaron.
Now what you're gonna do, Amen, I got somebody be
your mouth? Peace? But I need you to go because
you the one that had that tie between the Pharaoh.
You guys were like brothers. He's not gonna respect Aaron.
Praise God Amen H three Verse three.
Speaker 5 (25:18):
To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the
Lord than sacrifice.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Back to those weights that you can pull the weights
in on this one. Do what is right and fair.
The Lord loves that more than your sacrifice. Obedience is
better than sacrifice. God is more interested in our integrity,
(25:48):
our fairness, how ethical our behavior is, than those rituals
that we do. That's the reason why he said, why
you're gonna take communion and you see your brother over
here in need, and you're gonna have a whole feast.
That's why I gotta set this communion thing up. It's
not about a feast. Amen. And most of the time
(26:14):
when you do sacrifices, give me Mark seven and eleven.
Rituals and sacrifices that are done with you're doing those
things without a sincere heart. You're just doing it just
to be doing it. You come into church because oh,
we're supposed to come to church on Saturday. We're supposed
to come to church on Sunday. We're supposed to come
(26:36):
to church on Sunday, Sunday morning, Sunday night, we're supposed
to go. I'm doing it just because the heart is
not in it. Amen. We give excuses. And one of
the examples of excuses that's not sincere is Mark seven
and eleven. I think that's what it is. Can you
(26:56):
read that for me, please?
Speaker 5 (26:58):
But ye say, if a man shall say to his
father or mother it is corbin, that is to say,
a gift by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me,
he shall be free.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
So what it is what the person is saying is
that back in the day, you're supposed to support your
mother and father if you know they fall on ill,
ill terms or whatever. But then they use the term
corbin to say, well, my money is for God. Not
(27:36):
for them, but are they using it for God or
using that term as an excuse not to help their parents.
That's exactly what that means. Amen. So our daily walk,
let daily walk should be also reflect our faith in
(27:57):
God by doing showing integrity, Amen, doing what's right and
fair in all aspects of our life. We can't do
for one and not for the other, and be fair.
We gotta be fair across the board. Amen, All right, four.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
And high, look and a proud heart, and the plowing
of the wicked is sin.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Proud looks and proud thoughts or sins they show the
person is evil looking at others like we better than
they are. That's being proud or having a haughty spirit.
Say that again, arrogance, Yes, it is not acceptable by
(28:49):
the Lord. A proud heart has a posture of one
that is full of self. Me, me, me, it's all
about me. Therefore, if you're full of self, and self
already knows self is unteachable, and we will learn that
in the beginning, you're not wise. We're forever learning. And
(29:14):
we can't be in a position where Okay, I'm the
pastor so can't nobody tell me nothing, no, that we're
gonna be forever learning, Amen, and we have to look
to Jesus, the author and the finisher of our faith
for things that we don't understand. There's gonna be some
things that we don't understand. I'm not understanding all this
(29:34):
AI stuff. I don't understand all the technical stuff that's
going on. And we need to implement some things in
our church in order to go forward, even though there
are some people that don't do it and they still
are prospering. Sometimes it's good to have a little techie
(29:57):
and you don't know all of it. I know, sometimes
our technical person said google it, but sometime we google
it and we don't know what we're googling, and we
need our technical person to give it to us in
layman's turn, explain it. Okay, can you just tell me
in in my language because I don't know what that mean. Amen.
(30:21):
I'm still trying to get around three sixty five. Praise God. Amen.
Now I was good back in the day, but now
it seemed like maybe I'm making it too hard. I'm
not sure. I may I might be making it too hard.
Am I making it too hard? I'm making it too hard? Okay?
All right, Praise God? Amen. So we're worry. Yeah, these ways,
(30:48):
these ways, proud looks and proud hearts can lead to
selfishness and sin. And you know, when you think you
are all that can nobody put any put anything in
you because you already know. You can't tell me I'm proud,
I'm arrogant. Do you know where I came from? I
(31:11):
didn't come from the projects. And you got people that
come from the project. You got people. So a lot
of times they think people come from the country don't
know nothing. They know more than what you know. They
have common sense. Sometime people in the city don't have
common sense. Praise God. I'm glad. I had a father
(31:32):
from the country, my mother from the country, and a
father from the city. So I had two. Amen, and
my kids got to You got somebody from the city
and somebody from the country, and when you put it
all together, we gonna live. Amen. And he uses that
(32:00):
metaphor of plowing, and that refers to work, right, and
you got to work in order to uh, you got
to work at being selfish. Amen. Work is so that
you're doing something they work at doing, except there is
not a change. There is change, and it will lead
(32:20):
to sin. You won't change because and it will lead
to sin, and sin when it is finished leads to death.
So you work in that plow, You work in that proudness, Amen.
Right to the The plowing of the wicked is sin.
You work in it right to the end. A man
(32:41):
I noticed that fleet use LUs because sin when it
is plus, when it's conceived, it brings forth Thus, when
it is conceived, it brings forth sin, and sin when
it's finished, bringing forth death. So I'm using the ending
part sin regardless of what it is, whether it's lust
(33:02):
or whatever. Sin, when it's finished it brings forth death. Amen. Five.
Speaker 5 (33:12):
The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness, but
of everyone that is hasty only to wont.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Careful planning leads to profit. Acting too quickly leads to poverty.
That's the easy read. So again he's emphasizing the importance
and the value of diligence and careful planning versus hastiness
and impulsiveness, impulsiveness which can lead to recklessness. All themnistssis Amen.
(33:50):
So that's what he's trying to tell us. We can't
be in too big of a hurry to do things
and not weigh out everything. That's like when people come
to will come to me or the pastor and he
would they have these ideas. That's the reason why we
want you to write it out. Write it out, and
(34:12):
then after we talk about it. Sometimes you can talk
about a thing and say, you know what, I don't
think that gonna work. Once you write it out and
talk about it, it's like, okay, that's that. But sometimes
it sounds so good and we just want to jump
on it. Let's go buy this sign and do this,
and do that and do that. We don't have the
(34:34):
money for a blinking sign like that right now. Just
let the lighted sign do its work. Especially if you're
getting ready to move, Why put all your money? Can
you take the sign with you? Yeah? But if it's
if it's one of those signs that's concreted and built up,
(34:59):
it will be if to move. Okay. So sometimes you
have to think outside the box and think not for
the now, but for what would Apostle used to say,
it could be a good idea, but is it for now?
Do I need it now? Or can I? Or can
I wait on it? That's not exactly how he said it,
(35:19):
but that's what he was trying to say, and sometimes
he we would have discussions and I would say, do
we need that right now? Do we have to have
that right now? Well, when you put it that way,
I guess we can wait. Do we need all these
you need to get three suits for ninety nine or
(35:40):
one hundred dollars right now? When? When? When? When Steve
Harvey say all you need is so many suits and
you can make so many matches together, it's a sale.
But you know what, I would tell him that same
sale is gonna be on three months from now. Do
you have the money? I don't like bills. I don't
(36:03):
like to be in debt. I do not like bills.
So if I don't have to get it right now,
I just won't get it right now. I will cut
the pantyhose out of one leg and put it on
the other leg. I will do that. Praise God. Amen.
If there's something more important that's needed, amen. I know
(36:26):
some of y'all look at me like, oh that is
not You just don't know my story. Praise God all right. Six.
Speaker 5 (36:41):
The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a
vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
Wealth that comes from telling lies disappears quickly and leads
to death. Wealth obtained through dishonesty is unstable. And and may,
I put may because sometimes we won't see the devastation
in our day, in our time, so you might say, well,
(37:12):
did nothing happen to them? May lead to destruction sooner
or later. Amen, ill gotten gain or riches can lead
just as quick as you got it. Mm hm. We
can't lie and cheat to get wealth as quickly as
(37:34):
you got it. You're gonna lose it that way. And
I said may, because sometimes people have wealth and they
got it and the ill gotten ways, and it's generational.
(37:55):
They got that wealth bad I mean, illegally, but their
generations are still prospering on it. But every tub it's
gonna sit on its own bottom. And we have to
go back to the scripture. God knows and we have
(38:17):
to accept what he allows. Amen seven.
Speaker 5 (38:25):
The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them because they
refuse to do judgment.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
The bad things that people do will destroy them because
they refuse to do what is right. It's the law
of reaping and sow. And we've had this before, but
not in this manner, not said like this. If you
live by the sword. You may I said. I was
gonna say be specific, but I said you may die
(38:55):
by the sword, you may die by something else. That's
putting my personal input in. Those who engage in violence
will ultimately be destroyed by their own actions. You're gonna
have to suffer the consequences of what you do. If
(39:15):
you don't check yourself, you can end up dead or incarcerated.
If we don't check ourselves, even in the church, we
can becoming a church and we're dead. Or we can
(39:35):
be in jail and not know it. In church in
jail and not know it. Amen. So it's the law
of reaping and so on. And he's just letting us
know that bad things happen to evil people, and we'll
(40:00):
evilness will destroy you because if you refuse to do
what's right, if you refuse to listen to wise counsel,
something is bound to happen, whether it be good or
whether it be evil. Eight.
Speaker 5 (40:18):
The way of man is forward and strange, But as
for the pure, his work is right.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
Easy Read says, criminals cause trouble wherever they go, but
good people are honest and fair. We're talking about that same.
But a forward person is somebody habitually disposed and prone
to disobedience and opposition, always contention with this person. So
he's just contrasting the character of a crooked person and
(40:47):
a good person and what their outcome will be a man,
sometimes the outcome of a person may not it's not
conducive to the life that they're living. Amen. But somebody
(41:08):
that's habitually disposed and prone to disobedience, he's always into trouble. Amen.
So he's saying that the pure is gonna it's gonna
work all right for the pure person, but something's gonna
(41:29):
happen to that fra work person reaping and so on you.
So if you're so wrong, you're gonna reap wrong. Amen. Nine.
Speaker 5 (41:40):
It is better to dwell in a corner of the
house town than with the with a brawling woman in
a wide house.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
It is better to live in a small corner on
the roof than to share the house with a woman
who is always arguing. This is the value he's teaching us,
the value of a peaceful home. Now, we talked about
that contentious quarrelsome woman in Proverbs nineteen and thirteen. So
let me introduce you to her twin sister, the brawling woman.
(42:14):
She's quarrelsome, noisy fighting. She likes to fight, haven't you
got a lot of women that like to fight. But
let me turn a little curve. This can also refer
to a man also, So even though he said a woman,
it can refer to a man also. This beefahavior can
(42:35):
being grief to either smouse. You gotta quarrel some brawling man,
and you gotta quarrel some and brawling contentious woman. He said,
you'd rather be in the elements on the roof than
(42:58):
in the comfort of your own home. In the you
want to be in the corner, not spread out, and
you want to be in a corner. If you want
to be in a corner, you don't want to want
her to know what part of the roof you own
or he's on, she's on, or he's on, because she
can be on that roof too. Amen. He's promoting harmony
(43:22):
and helpfulness in the marriage situation and times change. You
got some men that are stuck in the fifties yet,
and still they want the wife to go to work
to help out. Now, if you want to stance to
(43:44):
be stuck in the fifties, fifties. Mean she stay at home,
take care of the children, make sure your food and
all that clothes and all that is together. But if
you want her to work outside the house, things are
gonna have to We're gonna have to help each other.
(44:06):
Apostles hands wasn't too good to clean the toilet. He
started washing his own clothes, not because I wasn't washing him,
because he pat it in a separate Uh. He didn't
put his clothes with mine. So when he got ready
to wah, when I got ready to wash. When I
get ready to wash, I searched out all the clothes.
(44:27):
When he get ready to wash, he washed his. I
didn't get upset. I just would laugh. If a piece
of my clothes was in his, Is this yours? You
can't fold it? Amen. So this behavior can be, like
(44:48):
I said, can bring grief to either of the spouse.
So where would you rather? They would rather be in
the company. They don't want to be in a company
of each other. But we should want to be in
the company of each other one another, and sometime we
need our space. But this is not what this is
talking about. But this person would rather be on the
(45:08):
roof in the elements in a corner, hiding than to
deal with allowed brawling woman. Like I said, it can
be a man too, but we're gonna stick with the
women right now. Okay, all right, all right, let's get
(45:29):
ten and we'll be finished.
Speaker 5 (45:33):
The soul of the wicked desireth evil. His neighbor find
it no favor in his eyes.
Speaker 1 (45:39):
Now, we had something like this before. Evil people always
want to do more evil, and they show no mercy
to people around them. The wicked person's evil ways and
lack of compassion for others. And it talks about a neighbor,
But a neighbor can be anybody, heymen. Wicked people are
selfish and they only think about their own needs. You know,
(46:00):
when you see these movies where somebody's trafficking somebody else's
daughter and you have a daughter, they have a daughter,
and you have an issue, what do they say, It's
just business? Is it just business? If it was your child?
They don't think about nobody but themselves. Amen, And I'm
(46:22):
pretty sure many of you all can think of instances
where evil people just think about themselves. They don't mind
going around shooting up folks, but when it's them, Oh mother,
oh mother, married mother of God, can you have mercy?
Please have mercy? That means their self is there only
(46:43):
think about themselves, but they don't think about the people
that they've destroyed. Amen, So we have to be he
uses they use statement, Well, that's what I just said.
They use statements like it's just business and you have
to deal with it, but they don't show mercy to
(47:03):
anybody that's around them because it's all about them. Amen.
Oh man, how many enjoyed themselves? Amen? It was a
lot in there, and a couple of things was I'm
glad sister Hubbard was the last one because she kind
of brought us in to twenty one. That her watch
and her statements was the segway to bringing us into
(47:26):
twenty one. And I like that. I like that. Amen.
Everybody's standing to your feet. We think and praise God
for the Word of God, and we're hoping and praying
that the word has touched somebody's heart. And we need
to allow this word to get in our hearts so
that we know how to live thereby, because sometimes we
(47:47):
feel like we are doing all that we can when
we're not doing all that we can. Amen. And God
is so good to us, and I keep I got
this tug in my heart because he's saying except what
God allows, and my body and my mind is trying
(48:11):
to do that, and I'm trying to allow him to
take this away from me, but it's still there. So
I'm soliciting your prayers. But as we stand to our feet,
there might be somebody here that this word touched them
and they really want to know God in a very
real way and not just surface. I really want to
(48:34):
know God. And if you are listening, all you need
to do is lift your hands and ask the Lord
to show me me, show me me. I need you
to meet me right where I am and say, Lord,
I need to be saved in a day and time
(48:57):
like this. I need to be saved. Plead with him.
Talk to him like you talk to anybody else. You
don't have to use big words to say Lord, I
need you to show me me and show me your glory,
show me where I need to go, show me what
I need to do in order to see your face
in peace. And after you do that and you've accepted
(49:18):
him as your personal savior, you got to take that
one next step, and that step is to be filled
with his spirit and ask him, say Lord, come into
my life and fill me with your spirit. There it is,
it's right there, he said. The word is not the
it's right at the tipial tongue. And you will begin
(49:41):
to speak in a language that you that He's given you,
not you've given yourself, not something that you've been taught,
but something that He's given you. And you'll try to
stop it and it won't stop. That is the the
infeeling of the Holy Ghost. It wasn't just for the twelve,
(50:02):
because if it was just for the twelve, they wouldn't
have been one hundred and twenty up there. Amen. So
we just thinking, praise God, and just lift your hands
and tell him, thank you, thank you for what you feel.
If you didn't get it right there, don't stop right there.
Keep pursuing him, he said. Anybody that wants wisdom wants
to know me, Ask me, he said, ask and it
(50:22):
shall be given thee. Keep pursuing it. You pursued drugs,
used to pursue women, You pursued everything else. Why not
try pursuing God and He will meet you right where
you are. Amen, and Amen, praise God those in the building.
(50:45):
If you need something from God, the time is now.
You can step out in the middle in the island,
come down and we will pray for you. We're asking
that we all continue to pray for those that are
sick and shut in praise God. Did get word about
brother Tron, and I'm asking he I didn't talk to
(51:11):
them today, but I told her that I will not
come up to see him until he's after after he's
out of ICU.
