Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Lord Heart and Loyah Jesus. We thank God for
those testimonies and the songs that were sung. Lord, we
asked that you just just come into our service on tonight.
Bless us Lord to hear your word. Give us ears
to hear in words and heart to remain faithful, that
the words of my mouth and the meditation of my
heart be acceptable in thye sight. Oh Lord, you are
(00:21):
my strength and you are my redeemer. You may be
seated in the presence of the Lord. Amen. I thank
God for the testimonies and to those that had testified. Amen.
Some things we have to remember when we when we preach,
we won't we think we don't reach people. But you
got to remember you dropped seeds. Seeds have to be watered. Amen.
(00:44):
So when it seems that if you didn't do what
you felt like you did, remember those seeds that was dropped. Amen.
And just to be encouraged. I was just thinking while
you were, while we were, I heard the testimonies, how
that Matthew Jesus gave a parable about the talents, and
(01:07):
then he said, thou hast been faithful over a few things.
You may not have much, but that few that He's
allotted you to have or to do. Be faithful over that. Amen.
He said you were faithful over a few things, and
I will make thee ruler over many. Sometimes feel like
(01:31):
we have to do a whole lot, a whole lot,
but that that God has given you, whether it be
the prayer six o'clock in the morning, you seem like,
like you say, sometimes you don't even know who's online. Amen,
because people don't speak, they don't say anything, but you
never know. But don't be weary and well doing like
(01:54):
someone says, I'm glad that God is not like man,
because see he said, and do time and due time,
and when you do ze season come you're gonna say who.
But that's something that is something that we have been
saying for years. I used to cringe when Apostle would
(02:16):
preach a strong message. I would say, oh, God, get
me ready for what's getting ready to happen when the God.
When God starts using you, the devil don't like that.
He don't care who you are. And you might feel
like you said, you feel good in here, you don delivered.
(02:37):
You don't know who you touched that out on the
the on the social media platforms. But you feel good
because you delivered your soul. That's why he said, for saken,
not to assembly yourself together as many has already done.
You know, because when you're around your people, that's your
that's your strength, that's your strength. But then when you
(02:59):
get out outside those four walls, cause the devil ain't
coming in here, not like he he think he can,
but he's not gonna come in here. He may make
you forget a few scriptures or or put Daniel in
the in in Splitting the Red Sea or something like that,
stuff like that, but that other stuff, when you get
out of these four walls, he's ready for you. He
(03:21):
is ready for you. So I'm telling my the preachers,
my preachers, you know it. And I'm telling I'm reminding
you you're not in this for nothing. You're not in
this for nothing. And when the Lord starts using you. Uh.
There was a a mother at one of our former
(03:42):
churches churches, and she said, uh. She made the statement,
when something comes up she wasn't expected expecting. He said,
I'm booked for roughness. She said, I wasn't counting that.
I wasn't thinking about that, but I'm booked up for roughness.
So whatever's gonna come, it's gonna come, but I'm gonna
be ready. So we got to be ready. So my
(04:04):
thing today is be faithful over a few things, and
he will make you a ruler over many. Don't mind
the crowds, because there's dangers in crowds. Amen. Do your
work now where there's just a few, so that when
you do start exploding, Hey you good. Amen. So I
(04:26):
said enough for somebody to be ready to give me
some feedback. We are in the Book of Proverbs, and
as a recap, I want to say that our Bible
study is not like a normal Bible study where the
teacher is doing all the teaching and we ask for feedback,
and then after we've done a few let a lesson,
(04:46):
we would like feedback on what you've learned, or what
you understood, or what you remember, what held your heart?
What kept your heart? Amen. So at this particular time,
we are in Proverbs, the twenty second, twenty first chapter,
and we last week we went over what was it,
(05:09):
eleven through twenty and this week will be twenty one
through the rest to the end of the chapter, which
is thirty one. Praise God. So does anybody have any feedback?
Some takeaways from last week. Let's let's not be slowful.
Let's pop up, yes, ma'am amen.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
We talked about what was it I'm sorry Verse nineteen.
It is better to dwell in the wilderness than with
a contentious and.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
An angry woman.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
That scripture has come up again for the second time,
but we made it clear that it's not just about
women but also men. And our pastor said happy spouses
make happy houses. Normally the scripture, not the scripture, but
the the term is happy wife, happy life, or happy whatever.
(06:13):
But we made it made it clear that it's not
just for women, but it's for men as well.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
It can be the roles can be reversed.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
So I don't know where you got that or if
you made that up, but you said happy spouses make
happy houses.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
So I like that.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
I taken credit for that. In my research, I found that,
and I find it because of today's society and today's
and of life in general. I'm finding out what I've
already known. But it's becoming more evident on especially with
husbands and wives relationships. In the church. There's there's seems
(07:06):
to be this thing where respect honor, but it's one sided, right,
in some instances it's one sided. And I'm not saying
this because I'm female. I'm I'm saying it because it's true.
There's a lot of hidden stuff going on in the
church between husbands and wives, and then when they come
(07:28):
on the outside, it looks completely different. It looks like
everything's my in my words copesthetic, but it's not. Amen
and and and uh, if you read I'm not gonna
say the tabloids with what you know, things pop up
on the internet, and then the news about uh being
abused at home and and talked about it at home,
(07:49):
and and then when you get out, you got to
put on this big smile. We gotta be real with this.
And a lot of this comes from uh, I want
to say past experiences. Uh what do they call it?
(08:11):
I can think of what it is. It'll come to me.
But anyway, yeah, I and when I see scriptures like that,
and I and a man wrote this, and and and
like I think somebody said he had a reason to
write it because he had so many wives and it
was just one of him. But then when we bring
(08:33):
it down to a one on one basis, sometimes it's
not the female, it is the male. It can be
either person. So we're not gonna, you know, because sometimes
when we just say happy wife, happy happy life, that
means everything is catered to the wife. But it's supposed
to be. It's we're supposed to be committed to each other. Amen.
(08:55):
And sometimes it's not always a fifty to fifty split.
So it's a lot. We're gonna come up. It's gonna
come up again. Amen. I think this was third time
it came up. I think this was third time. All right,
anybody else? All right? Now, we're gonna start with Proverbs
(09:16):
twenty one chapter and the twenty the twenty first chapter.
In the twenty first verse.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
He that followeth after righteousness and mercy, findeth life, righteousness,
and honor.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Amen. As we've been forstating, some things are being said
multiple times, and we won't dwell on them too long.
But sometimes even when he in the multiplicity of the words,
it brings other things to light. You know, something you
didn't think about when he said it the first time,
but then when he said it the second time, something
(09:53):
like ding, something else happens comes in. Amen. So people
who try hard to be good and be faithful will
find life, goodness, and honor. But it's again the law
of reaping and sowing. Nothing in life comes free. Amen.
There are rewards for living a life pleasing to God,
doing what is right. That's the following righteousness and showing love, kindness, compassion, forgiveness.
(10:21):
It all has its rewards. But sometimes we have to
think that our rewards may not be down here. But
that does not mean we stop being nice, we stop
seeking because people don't like you being nice, They just
don't like it. Amen, All right. Twenty two.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
A wise man scaleth the city of the Mighty and
casteth down. The strength of the confidence thereof.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
A wise person can defeat a city full of warriors
and tear down the defense. Stay trusting. This is just
letting us know it is better to trust in the
Lord that's wisdom than to put confidence in man. Wisdom
trumps strength. The contrast between the mighty and the wise,
(11:22):
wisdom over strength. Just as the people of Jericho thought
they had confidence in their wall fortified city, to look
at it, Oh, this is impossible. But God told the
people to walk around the wall, don't say anything, and
(11:43):
which seems kind of stupid, not wise. As I told
you before about the English peace on top of the
wall saying, look at those people, and the Lord said,
don't say anything, don't even mumble, don't even do nothing.
(12:06):
But that wall came down when Joshua obeyed what the
Lord has said. So you can't trust in your strength
and your brute strength. God has the final say. Amen.
All right, we've gotta remember wisdom trump strength. I don't
care how strong you think you are, and God wisdom
(12:26):
is stronger than strength. Amen. Twenty three.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keep it his
soul from troubles.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
This is nothing new. We've been talking about this. People
who are careful about what they say will save themselves
from trouble. Because you can't take stuff back. We have
to be careful, slow to speak. Amen. This is nothing new.
Reminding us to us too carefully consider our words to
(13:03):
avoid unnecessary problems. When we're dealing with different people, of
different people, of walks of life, we have to be
careful what we say and how we say in order
not to offend. So we have to can't be quick.
We have to do some research. You can't shut down.
(13:23):
You can't shut down disrespect without raising your voice. You can't.
I mean, you down right Yeah, you can shut down
disrespect without raising your voice. The right word at the
wrong time is the wrong word. Can you say what
(13:44):
you need to say with respect? Amen? I've saw this
and I send it to my grandchildren, the ones that
that quick to speak and say stuff and run out
of the mouth and and want to cut you with
their tongue, even when people that are over them, their
boss might say something to they don't. You can't talk
(14:04):
to me like that. I'm grown. No, there's a certain
way you have to speak. It's not always what you say,
is how you say it. And then it's not always
how you say it, it's the tone in which you
said it. And sometimes they don't understand what do you
mean by tone? If I ask you to do something
(14:28):
and you well, why do I have to wait a minute?
Calm down. I'm just asking you to do something. Amen,
So say what you need to say, but say it
with respect. And a lot of our young people, what
is this generation z? They don't understand that. I saw
(14:51):
something and knowledge is knowledge is powerful, but knowledge it
can be a burden. I saw where this young boy
was saying, I'm tired of adults. I'm saying, what how
this is not exactly how he said it, but this
is a consensus of what he says. Stop telling us
we're not we're Uh, what's the word I use? Somebody said,
(15:22):
did you say it? Did I hear you say something? Oh?
I don't know where my mind is going. Pray for me.
Entitled because we are entitled. We didn't ask to be here.
You should have thought about your living conditions before you
(15:44):
decided to have us. This is their mindset. And I
had to repeat it. I said, did he say what
I just said? He said you you should have thought
about you didn't. Wasn't making enough money to give us
what we wanted or what we are not want, not need,
(16:06):
but want it before you had us. So we are entitled.
We didn't ask to be here. Yes, but see they
entitled to that because they didn't ask to be here.
I said, Lord helped me today. I felt like snatching
my phone and pulling him out of that phone. Praise God.
(16:30):
So you know, it's like I said, it's not always
what you say, it's how you say it, and then
the tone in what you say it. People don't realize
their tone can be Just like that contentious woman or
that contentious man that can get actually irritating, and it
can make you upset. You can say, you know, I'm sorry,
but we are both adults. Here, can we talk like adults.
(16:54):
I know one of my kids look like they could
be in their twenties late twenties, but she's not twenty.
She's in her forties, and so she had to let
them know, well, how old do you think I am?
And I don't appreciate you talking to me like I'm
one of these kids. I'm not a child. Talk to
me like an adult. Talk to me with respect. We
(17:18):
respect each other. You don't want that tone to you.
Talk to you, so don't use that tone with me.
But then we have when we say that, we have
to say that in a way we're we're not being disrespectful. Yes, ma'am.
Praise the Lord, Church, Praise the Lord.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
You know, I'm glad you're bringing it up tonight, because
you know, that's something that my grandmother taught me as
I was raising my children when they were really little.
She always taught me to talk to them, don't yell
at them, Talk to them then they can better understand.
And I as the years gonna have gone by, the
(17:58):
Lord my voice again that more. They have to really
listen to hear you, but not just that, they have
to see the example in order to execute it. A
lot of times we're yelling at them, don't do this,
don't do this. But when they were young and we
allowed them because we thought it was cute and pretty
and everybody, Oh, it's okay to do this.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Oh it's okay to do that.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
But then as they got older, then everything because respect
goes both ways. I respect my children because I know
what I put in them and their due respect.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
I put things in.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Them because I'm expecting respect back because when I give it,
if I call or if I talk to an angel,
and you know, words don't always do what they're supposed to.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Die.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Our relationship have changed, is gone to another level in
the last few years because before that, oh, we were.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Getting mad and we would stay mad.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
But now God has done something different, and I think
that that different thing has started in me where I
would allow her to vent and when she would get
it all out, then I would say and not yelling
with my calm voice, because I think it's so important
that you not yell all the time, because we're not animals.
(19:22):
We so therefore, when I say, okay, now you said that.
Now listen, let me make myself as clear as I can.
This phone goes both ways, and I know you understand
that I am the mother. So if ever you do
that again, this phone will also ring both ways. And
I don't have to pick up my phone cause I
(19:43):
pay the bill. I need you to understand that even
when I deal with my son and everybody think, oh,
he is so special because he does so many different
things for me, and I love him, I love all
my children. I love him special for what he's doing
for me, but I do not I take nothing off
of him if he starts talking or do I said,
(20:04):
hold it, wait a minute. And sometimes I have to
take a break because if I you know, I'm like, okay,
that's enough of that, wait a minute, and then I
come back, and then I said.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Okay, let's finish that. Let's finish what we're talking about,
and then we're good. But it's about respect.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
Even when they're little and you yelling at them, they
don't understand that they see they doing what you saying.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Do, but you need to try to, you know.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
I feel like it's important when we're raising our children
that help them understand by our example. If all you
do is yell at them, that's all they're gonna respond to.
They need to know that you are communicating with them.
So when something happened, it's not a yell. This is
what this is what I mean. This is why I
told you not to do that, because I was that mama.
(20:49):
This is why everybody have their own head. This is
why everybody is not all attached to there, because you
can think for yourself. And so if you don't think
for yourself, then this is what's gonna happen. When I
say don't be outside after dark, and that means you're
gonna get a beat down.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
That means that's what I mean.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
When I get to the house and you're not there,
then I'm gonna wait for you, and when you come
through that door, I'm gonna start beating from at the
top of the steps on it because I mean what
I say, and I think if we tell them I
mean what I say, I don't go back and forth
with nobody I'm taking.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Care of I never did that.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
I mean what I say, And if I give you
something new, I will beat you at the church house,
Deacon Taylor in a test of that because I beat
our letting go at the church house because I mean
what I say when I say do it this way,
do it that way.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
We ain't got this what I'm.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Yelling and screaming for running my blood pressure up because
I told you to do something.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
No sit down.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
I'm not gonna sit sit down again one time. And
if you don't sit down, that's a pop. That's it,
and okay, that's the end of it.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Thank you, hey man. And you know why, you know
why we we It's hard for us to do that
as a whole because it's work, takes too much time.
Why do you think they have all these different words
for different things, you know, so you won't have to
say the whole sentence, all these little acronyms, all the
(22:23):
little emojis, emojis tell it all.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Right, I an a.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
And that's the reason why we don't we we k
it's it's hard for most of us to do it
because it's takes too much time, and sometimes we forget
where we came from. Somebody had to show us. I
I this this little one in my house is is
I'm really st He's really schooling me, getting me back
to the basics. Cause sometime I wanna take him and
(22:52):
grab him. But then I look at him and I say,
you know what I need to explain. This is your toy,
this is mine, This is nanas. Don't touch this. If
you touch it, you're gonna get a pal pal. And
(23:14):
when his mom come in, or his granny come in,
or his ain'ty come in, Nana pow And he's not
saying all his sentences, but they know something happened. I pooped,
and Pal, yes, you can say everything else. You gonna
(23:35):
tell me when you have to poop. So it's it's
it's but see, it takes work. And this generation don't
wanta work. It's just you don't have patience with the work.
Slash patience. You got to have it. Praise God, James said.
(23:58):
The tongue is a fire a word world of iniquity.
So is the tongue among our members, that it defileth
the whole body and set it on fire the course
of nature, and it is set on fire of hell.
That's the tongue. So we have to be careful. People
have to be careful about what they say. And if
(24:20):
you do, if you're careful, it'll save you a world
of trouble. Most of the time, most of the time.
All right, it's a proverb. It's not a promise, it's
a principle. It's not a promise that's gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
Four.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who deal with
in proud wrath.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
People who think they are better than others. They show,
they show they are evil by what they do. We've
already came to this. We've already talked about the haughty person,
the scorner person in person use ridicule, contempt, and mockery
to belittle others. Somebody that's haughty and a scorner. They
(25:06):
feel like they are.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
It.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
And it's hard to deal with people like that. Amen.
Their pride is driven by a sense of self importance.
It's all about me and nobody else. If I don't
do it, it won't get done. Praise God again. A
(25:33):
proud and haughty people think only of themselves. They think
themselves better than others and are very arrogant, causing them
to look down on others. Amen. Romans twelve and three says,
for I say, through the grace given unto me, to
every man that is among you, not to think of
(25:54):
himself more highly than he ought to think, but to
think so according as God has dealt to every man
the measure of faith. It's it's hard sometimes for a
person that feels like they, uh, that's proud and and
hearty to to come down. But it's hard, but it's
not impossible. Right with such, we say, life will treat
(26:19):
teach you, cause there's gonna be always gonna be somebody
more prouder than you and know how to put you
in your place. It's very f it's it's it's it's
amazing how people can talk about how they were treated,
then when they get to a certain point, they go
and treat people the same way they were treated. Did
(26:41):
you forget how you did you forget how you felt
when somebody talked to you like that? But and then
they have an excuse, well they should know better. Well,
when you were talking to like that, they thought you
should have known better. Amen, all right? Twenty five.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
The desire of the slothful killeth him for his hands.
Refuse to labor.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
We just revisiting this again, right quick. Lazy people will
cause their own destruction because they refuse to work. For
man don't work, neither shall he eat The destructive nature
of a lazy person. This is what he's talking about.
A lazy person does it to himself. A lazy person
is a sloughful person, a sluggard person. They desire things
(27:40):
but don't want to do what it takes to get it,
but they want to take it from you. When that's
when they become a thief and a robber. Amen help
us Lord, So we've had this before, Amen twenty six.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
He co coveth it greedily all the day long, but
the righteous giveth and spareth not.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Some people are greedy and never have enough. Have you
met anybody like that? They just want want, want, want, want,
and never have enough. And good people are generous and
have plenty. The greedy is never satisfied. That's what. That's
what the meaning of greedy is, never satisfied. Even when
they eat, They just constantly eating, eating, eating, never getting full.
(28:30):
Wait a minute, is there a bottom to your stomach?
It becomes a sin right when you when you can't
get full and you just keep eating and eating and eating.
What's the word gluttony? That's a sin. Amen. And sometimes
people just eat, bring it back up, eat, bring it
(28:52):
back up, And the world causes the disease, the Lord
calls it gluttony. Amen. So in reference to the church,
Isaiah describes the evil watchmen or the preacher as greedy dogs. Yeay,
they are greedy dogs which can never have enough. Talking
about a preacher, this is that we're talking about in
(29:14):
the world, but now we're talking about in the church,
and they are shepherds that cannot understand, that cannot understand.
They all look to their own way, everyone for his
gain from his quarter. The contrast is the righteous person
is characterized by his generosity. It's not always generous and
(29:38):
money and love and action giving with those streams attached.
Not giving money, but giving of your time. A lot
of times people feel like generosity or somebody that's generous
has and have plenty. They have plenty of love, they
(30:00):
have plenty time, they have plenty compassion. That greedy person
don't have no time for no one but himself. He's selfish.
The righteous person has time for others, just like Jesus
was Amen twenty seven.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination, how much
more when he bringeth it with a wicked mind.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
We've talked about this a little bit before in other scriptures.
God hates sacrifices from the wicked, especially when their reason
for offering them is evil. If the posture of a
person's heart is not right, whatever they try to do
(30:55):
in the name of the Lord is repulsive to him.
He don't like that. God values genuine devotion and a
righteous heart more than just attending services and doing what
you do in church. Well, I did this, and I
did that. Obedience is better than sacrifice, as Saul as brother,
(31:18):
Saul as King, Saul, woe until you, scribes and pharisees, hypocrites,
for you are like white at sepulchrous, which indeed appear
beautiful outward, but are full of dead men's bone, which
in all uncleanness. Jeremiah seven and nine says, will you stand,
(31:40):
will you steal murder and commit adultery, and swear falsely
and burn incense to bail and walk after other God
toom ye know not, And then come and stand before
me in this house which is called by my name,
and say, we are delivered to do all these abominations.
(32:03):
So Lord here take my sacrifice.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
Not so.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
See, we talked about this before, but I don't think
we brought these scriptures out Amen, so we'd add a
little bit more to our plate. Twenty eight.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
A false witness shall perish, but the man that hereeth
speaketh constantly.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Witnesses who lie will be caught and punished. A careful
listener will always be there to speak up when I
say careful listener. We talked about this before. Sometimes you
have to really listen closely, closely to what a person
is saying, because what they're saying may not be what
they might be saying something to give themselves away. Like
(32:57):
that instance when I was talking to this sister, and
you know, I made the statement, so I know you
like my husband, and she said I don't. And then
in the next breath she said, you I can't help
who I love. So didn't you just keep talking? Just
(33:22):
keep talking. It's gonna come out. Amen, it's now. This
scripture shows the faith of those who lie or spread lies.
It's not just the liar the one that's lying to
it's spreading lies too. The impact it will have on
others and will have repercussions here or divine repercussions. Would
(33:49):
the revelations say all liars will have their part in
the lake which burneth with fire and Brinstone. So a
liar may not be caught in this day in time.
Like I said, it's a principle, not a promise. Come
on thinking about that.
Speaker 5 (34:14):
The one who listens and talks about the judge the
other week out and judges and this guy he was
suing somebody for us and said they messed up of
his roommate. And he said they caught him three hundred dollars.
And he was like, I went on a trip to
New York and I bought these pants when I went
to a little a little boy and this that and
the nothing.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
He just and the judge asked me, did he have
the receipt?
Speaker 5 (34:38):
And so when he gave the judge the receipt, the
judge said, this receipt says North Carolina. He said, you
said you brought him in New York And I didn't
even catch it.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
But the judge went back to it.
Speaker 5 (34:49):
He said, yo, cases dismissed because you just purchased yourself.
So if the judge, which is God, the righteous judge,
he's listening, So if we keep talking enough is yeah, yeah, but.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Praise the Lord. It's a careful listener. He's saying, you
got to be a careful listener. You already told you
about the one that's lying. But we have our part.
We got a listening care because sometimes people are not
saying what you they's talking out the side of their mouth, right,
and you know they are, so we have to be careful. Amen. Amen.
(35:31):
And sometimes there's well, just what you said, there's legal,
legal repercussions you done purgur it yourself, or that person
loses his own reputation. Oh, I can't trust that person.
They lie toom and they spread lies. You know people
that spread lies because sometimes you test people and tell
them things and say, I don't want to hear it again,
(35:55):
and you know you've only told that one person, and
it gets around like where you here from, and you
know how we are. I'm not as the snitches get stitches.
I'm not gonna say nothing. But you already know you
only told one person. So how did it turn around
to be like that? You are the weakest link. Amen.
(36:21):
So now he and he's also seeing the value of
honesty and being truthful. Amen. Twenty nine.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
A wicked man heartened his face. But as for the upright,
I'm sorry he direth his way directed. I'm sorry directed
his way I got right.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
All right, good people know they are right. But the
wicked have to pretend the countenance of a wicked man.
They have to really, he has to really really his
face does not show what he's really feeling. Hey, man,
(37:07):
the wicked will try to hide their true intentions, whereas
I will out the upright will think things through, and
that it's you can see it on their face. We
know when our kids are lying and they up to something.
There's certain expressions they make. God is like that. I
(37:30):
had one. I knew they was lying because they would stutter.
I said, I know you're lying because you stuttering. So
we've we've, we've This is another one about the wicked man.
(37:52):
He's gonna he's he's he's gonna he can't happen. He's
gonna try to have a straight face, but he's he's
got that red hero in effect heron, yeah, hero effect
that you know. I'm putting this out, but I've got
something else in mind. Amen, we gotta watch out for that. Amen.
(38:12):
A principle, not a promise. Thirty.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
There is no wisdom, nor understanding, nor a counsel against
the Lord.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
Again, there's no one wise enough to make a plan
that cannot succeed if the Lord is against it. This
is talking about the sovereignty of God, the limitation of man,
and the sovereignty of God. We are limited beings God will.
God's will and plan will prevail if it's his will. Amen,
(38:49):
accepting what God allows again Isaiah fifty five. For my
thoughts are not your thoughts, neither my ways your ways.
Saith the Lord. Amen thirty one.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
The horse is prepared against the day of battle, but
safety is of the Lord.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
Now, this is basically what we just talked about in
thirty and when we talked about further up in the
scripture scriptures, you can prepare for your horses for battle,
but only the Lord can give you the victory. Victory
(39:39):
belongs to the Lord despite our efforts to prepare. He's
not saying don't prepare, but despite our efforts to prepare,
and he's talking about the horses here, victory belongs to God.
Trusting God should apply in all aspects of our life.
God controls our outcome, and it's not always an easy thing,
(40:07):
but that's something that we have to learn. Psalms twenty
and seven says, some trust in charits and some trust
in horses, but we will remember the name of the Lord,
our God. God is sovereign, and no matter who how
we prepare, the end result is God is in God's hand.
(40:29):
Example throughout the Old Testament reveals how God would have
his people prepare for battles and he was the victor.
He would send strong winds, he would send hornets, he
would take wheels off of chariots. We're gonna prepare for
these battles. He'll send fire down from heaven. I just
(40:51):
want you to be prepared. I just want you to
go out there. I want you to be obedient. If
it's God's will win and they did win, shall I
go up and pursue and will I win? Go ahead
and pursue and you will win. Amen. That's the end
(41:15):
of chapter twenty one. Amen. That was a good one.
That was a good one. We had a lot of repeats,
but even within the repeats we found that there's more
to it. Everyone's standing in the presence of the Lord.
We want to thank those that listen to this podcast
on this evening and hope that you've got something out
(41:37):
of it that will allow you to live this life
a little bit better. Amen. Amen, We thank God for you.
We thank God for those that are here. Is there
anybody here that needs something from the Lord. We're just
gonna remember those that we prayed for. Those that are
out of the country less say hearts, enjoy themselves and
(42:01):
less them to come back. Amen. Those that are sick
and shut in, praise God. Those that had to work. Amen,
We have those that are their schedules have changed and
they have to work. But you know, God is still faithful.
Like we say that out out of their mouths are
two or three witnesses. Let every word be established. And
(42:23):
he also says, where there's two or three gathered, it's
something about God's numbers. Amen. And sometimes it can be
that's the word generational curses. That's what I was looking for.
It came to me in the end. Sometimes it's generational
curses within the families because they feel like Daddy did
(42:46):
it to mama, so when I grow up, I'm gonna
do the same thing to mama. Mama did it to daddy,
so that I'm gonna do the same thing. But it's
time for these generational curses to be broken. Amen. I
got it out. Thank you Lord, Thank you Jesus. Say man,
is there anyone praise God. Let's do a mass prayer. Father, God,
(43:09):
we thank you for the feet of those that are
here on tonight. We asked that you bless them. Blessed
them them are bless those that weren't able to make
it but was able to listen to the podcast. Amen.
And we just thank and praise God for those that
have taken on the challenge. Shymn those that see the fight,
(43:32):
those that are on the brink of falling, but they
don't want to fall because they love you too much.
Speaker 3 (43:39):
God.
Speaker 1 (43:42):
In spite of all that they're going through. I'm not
gonna give up. I'm gonna stay encouraged, through heartaches and
through pain. I'm gonna pursue this because Lord, you said,
there's nothing impossible for you to do for us. If
(44:05):
we only believe you said, ask and it shall knock,
and it shall And we're standing on your word, Oh God,
as we give ourselves faithfully to you, we're asking for results.
Lord Jesus, We're asking you to show us your glory.
As you show us your glory. We're gonna show you
how much we care and how much we mean what
(44:29):
we say when we love you. When we come into
your presence, Lord Jesus. It's all about you and it's
not about us, and we want to thank you for it.
We thank you for it.
Speaker 2 (44:40):
Lord.
Speaker 1 (44:41):
Yes it hurts, but we want to thank you for
the hurts. We're gonna thank you for the heartache. We're
gonna thank you for the pains because you know that
we can do all things through Christ. That strengthens us,
and you strengthen us day by day, and we thank
you for the name of Jesus. Ask that you just
give us strength even the more. Those that are still
(45:04):
grieving on God, those that are going through Lord, those
that are that need help, Lord Jesus, whether in the
home or on their jobs. Lord, you know what we
need before we even ask, give us consolation, Lord Jesus,
that you're with us. Sometimes we don't feel you, we
can't feel your touch, but we know you're there by faith.
(45:28):
We know that you're there in the name of Jesus,
and we thank you for all things. In Jesus's name.
We pray Amen and Amen.
The Lord Heart and Loyah Jesus. We thank God for
those testimonies and the songs that were sung. Lord, we
asked that you just just come into our service on tonight.
Bless us Lord to hear your word. Give us ears
to hear in words and heart to remain faithful, that
the words of my mouth and the meditation of my
heart be acceptable in thye sight. Oh Lord, you are
(00:21):
my strength and you are my redeemer. You may be
seated in the presence of the Lord. Amen. I thank
God for the testimonies and to those that had testified. Amen.
Some things we have to remember when we when we preach,
we won't we think we don't reach people. But you
got to remember you dropped seeds. Seeds have to be watered. Amen.
(00:44):
So when it seems that if you didn't do what
you felt like you did, remember those seeds that was dropped. Amen.
And just to be encouraged. I was just thinking while
you were, while we were, I heard the testimonies, how
that Matthew Jesus gave a parable about the talents, and
(01:07):
then he said, thou hast been faithful over a few things.
You may not have much, but that few that He's
allotted you to have or to do. Be faithful over that. Amen.
He said you were faithful over a few things, and
I will make thee ruler over many. Sometimes feel like
(01:31):
we have to do a whole lot, a whole lot,
but that that God has given you, whether it be
the prayer six o'clock in the morning, you seem like,
like you say, sometimes you don't even know who's online. Amen,
because people don't speak, they don't say anything, but you
never know. But don't be weary and well doing like
(01:54):
someone says, I'm glad that God is not like man,
because see he said, and do time and due time,
and when you do ze season come you're gonna say who.
But that's something that is something that we have been
saying for years. I used to cringe when Apostle would
(02:16):
preach a strong message. I would say, oh, God, get
me ready for what's getting ready to happen when the God.
When God starts using you, the devil don't like that.
He don't care who you are. And you might feel
like you said, you feel good in here, you don delivered.
(02:37):
You don't know who you touched that out on the
the on the social media platforms. But you feel good
because you delivered your soul. That's why he said, for saken,
not to assembly yourself together as many has already done.
You know, because when you're around your people, that's your
that's your strength, that's your strength. But then when you
(02:59):
get out outside those four walls, cause the devil ain't
coming in here, not like he he think he can,
but he's not gonna come in here. He may make
you forget a few scriptures or or put Daniel in
the in in Splitting the Red Sea or something like that,
stuff like that, but that other stuff, when you get
out of these four walls, he's ready for you. He
(03:21):
is ready for you. So I'm telling my the preachers,
my preachers, you know it. And I'm telling I'm reminding
you you're not in this for nothing. You're not in
this for nothing. And when the Lord starts using you. Uh.
There was a a mother at one of our former
(03:42):
churches churches, and she said, uh. She made the statement,
when something comes up she wasn't expected expecting. He said,
I'm booked for roughness. She said, I wasn't counting that.
I wasn't thinking about that, but I'm booked up for roughness.
So whatever's gonna come, it's gonna come, but I'm gonna
be ready. So we got to be ready. So my
(04:04):
thing today is be faithful over a few things, and
he will make you a ruler over many. Don't mind
the crowds, because there's dangers in crowds. Amen. Do your
work now where there's just a few, so that when
you do start exploding, Hey you good. Amen. So I
(04:26):
said enough for somebody to be ready to give me
some feedback. We are in the Book of Proverbs, and
as a recap, I want to say that our Bible
study is not like a normal Bible study where the
teacher is doing all the teaching and we ask for feedback,
and then after we've done a few let a lesson,
(04:46):
we would like feedback on what you've learned, or what
you understood, or what you remember, what held your heart?
What kept your heart? Amen. So at this particular time,
we are in Proverbs, the twenty second, twenty first chapter,
and we last week we went over what was it,
(05:09):
eleven through twenty and this week will be twenty one
through the rest to the end of the chapter, which
is thirty one. Praise God. So does anybody have any feedback?
Some takeaways from last week. Let's let's not be slowful.
Let's pop up, yes, ma'am amen.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
We talked about what was it I'm sorry Verse nineteen.
It is better to dwell in the wilderness than with
a contentious and.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
An angry woman.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
That scripture has come up again for the second time,
but we made it clear that it's not just about
women but also men. And our pastor said happy spouses
make happy houses. Normally the scripture, not the scripture, but
the the term is happy wife, happy life, or happy whatever.
(06:13):
But we made it made it clear that it's not
just for women, but it's for men as well.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
It can be the roles can be reversed.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
So I don't know where you got that or if
you made that up, but you said happy spouses make
happy houses.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
So I like that.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
I taken credit for that. In my research, I found that,
and I find it because of today's society and today's
and of life in general. I'm finding out what I've
already known. But it's becoming more evident on especially with
husbands and wives relationships. In the church. There's there's seems
(07:06):
to be this thing where respect honor, but it's one sided, right,
in some instances it's one sided. And I'm not saying
this because I'm female. I'm I'm saying it because it's true.
There's a lot of hidden stuff going on in the
church between husbands and wives, and then when they come
(07:28):
on the outside, it looks completely different. It looks like
everything's my in my words copesthetic, but it's not. Amen
and and and uh, if you read I'm not gonna
say the tabloids with what you know, things pop up
on the internet, and then the news about uh being
abused at home and and talked about it at home,
(07:49):
and and then when you get out, you got to
put on this big smile. We gotta be real with this.
And a lot of this comes from uh, I want
to say past experiences. Uh what do they call it?
(08:11):
I can think of what it is. It'll come to me.
But anyway, yeah, I and when I see scriptures like that,
and I and a man wrote this, and and and
like I think somebody said he had a reason to
write it because he had so many wives and it
was just one of him. But then when we bring
(08:33):
it down to a one on one basis, sometimes it's
not the female, it is the male. It can be
either person. So we're not gonna, you know, because sometimes
when we just say happy wife, happy happy life, that
means everything is catered to the wife. But it's supposed
to be. It's we're supposed to be committed to each other. Amen.
(08:55):
And sometimes it's not always a fifty to fifty split.
So it's a lot. We're gonna come up. It's gonna
come up again. Amen. I think this was third time
it came up. I think this was third time. All right,
anybody else? All right? Now, we're gonna start with Proverbs
(09:16):
twenty one chapter and the twenty the twenty first chapter.
In the twenty first verse.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
He that followeth after righteousness and mercy, findeth life, righteousness,
and honor.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Amen. As we've been forstating, some things are being said
multiple times, and we won't dwell on them too long.
But sometimes even when he in the multiplicity of the words,
it brings other things to light. You know, something you
didn't think about when he said it the first time,
but then when he said it the second time, something
(09:53):
like ding, something else happens comes in. Amen. So people
who try hard to be good and be faithful will
find life, goodness, and honor. But it's again the law
of reaping and sowing. Nothing in life comes free. Amen.
There are rewards for living a life pleasing to God,
doing what is right. That's the following righteousness and showing love, kindness, compassion, forgiveness.
(10:21):
It all has its rewards. But sometimes we have to
think that our rewards may not be down here. But
that does not mean we stop being nice, we stop
seeking because people don't like you being nice, They just
don't like it. Amen, All right. Twenty two.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
A wise man scaleth the city of the Mighty and
casteth down. The strength of the confidence thereof.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
A wise person can defeat a city full of warriors
and tear down the defense. Stay trusting. This is just
letting us know it is better to trust in the
Lord that's wisdom than to put confidence in man. Wisdom
trumps strength. The contrast between the mighty and the wise,
(11:22):
wisdom over strength. Just as the people of Jericho thought
they had confidence in their wall fortified city, to look
at it, Oh, this is impossible. But God told the
people to walk around the wall, don't say anything, and
(11:43):
which seems kind of stupid, not wise. As I told
you before about the English peace on top of the
wall saying, look at those people, and the Lord said,
don't say anything, don't even mumble, don't even do nothing.
(12:06):
But that wall came down when Joshua obeyed what the
Lord has said. So you can't trust in your strength
and your brute strength. God has the final say. Amen.
All right, we've gotta remember wisdom trump strength. I don't
care how strong you think you are, and God wisdom
(12:26):
is stronger than strength. Amen. Twenty three.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keep it his
soul from troubles.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
This is nothing new. We've been talking about this. People
who are careful about what they say will save themselves
from trouble. Because you can't take stuff back. We have
to be careful, slow to speak. Amen. This is nothing new.
Reminding us to us too carefully consider our words to
(13:03):
avoid unnecessary problems. When we're dealing with different people, of
different people, of walks of life, we have to be
careful what we say and how we say in order
not to offend. So we have to can't be quick.
We have to do some research. You can't shut down.
(13:23):
You can't shut down disrespect without raising your voice. You can't.
I mean, you down right Yeah, you can shut down
disrespect without raising your voice. The right word at the
wrong time is the wrong word. Can you say what
(13:44):
you need to say with respect? Amen? I've saw this
and I send it to my grandchildren, the ones that
that quick to speak and say stuff and run out
of the mouth and and want to cut you with
their tongue, even when people that are over them, their
boss might say something to they don't. You can't talk
(14:04):
to me like that. I'm grown. No, there's a certain
way you have to speak. It's not always what you say,
is how you say it. And then it's not always
how you say it, it's the tone in which you
said it. And sometimes they don't understand what do you
mean by tone? If I ask you to do something
(14:28):
and you well, why do I have to wait a minute?
Calm down. I'm just asking you to do something. Amen,
So say what you need to say, but say it
with respect. And a lot of our young people, what
is this generation z? They don't understand that. I saw
(14:51):
something and knowledge is knowledge is powerful, but knowledge it
can be a burden. I saw where this young boy
was saying, I'm tired of adults. I'm saying, what how
this is not exactly how he said it, but this
is a consensus of what he says. Stop telling us
we're not we're Uh, what's the word I use? Somebody said,
(15:22):
did you say it? Did I hear you say something? Oh?
I don't know where my mind is going. Pray for me.
Entitled because we are entitled. We didn't ask to be here.
You should have thought about your living conditions before you
(15:44):
decided to have us. This is their mindset. And I
had to repeat it. I said, did he say what
I just said? He said you you should have thought
about you didn't. Wasn't making enough money to give us
what we wanted or what we are not want, not need,
(16:06):
but want it before you had us. So we are entitled.
We didn't ask to be here. Yes, but see they
entitled to that because they didn't ask to be here.
I said, Lord helped me today. I felt like snatching
my phone and pulling him out of that phone. Praise God.
(16:30):
So you know, it's like I said, it's not always
what you say, it's how you say it, and then
the tone in what you say it. People don't realize
their tone can be Just like that contentious woman or
that contentious man that can get actually irritating, and it
can make you upset. You can say, you know, I'm sorry,
but we are both adults. Here, can we talk like adults.
(16:54):
I know one of my kids look like they could
be in their twenties late twenties, but she's not twenty.
She's in her forties, and so she had to let
them know, well, how old do you think I am?
And I don't appreciate you talking to me like I'm
one of these kids. I'm not a child. Talk to
me like an adult. Talk to me with respect. We
(17:18):
respect each other. You don't want that tone to you.
Talk to you, so don't use that tone with me.
But then we have when we say that, we have
to say that in a way we're we're not being disrespectful. Yes, ma'am.
Praise the Lord, Church, Praise the Lord.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
You know, I'm glad you're bringing it up tonight, because
you know, that's something that my grandmother taught me as
I was raising my children when they were really little.
She always taught me to talk to them, don't yell
at them, Talk to them then they can better understand.
And I as the years gonna have gone by, the
(17:58):
Lord my voice again that more. They have to really
listen to hear you, but not just that, they have
to see the example in order to execute it. A
lot of times we're yelling at them, don't do this,
don't do this. But when they were young and we
allowed them because we thought it was cute and pretty
and everybody, Oh, it's okay to do this.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Oh it's okay to do that.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
But then as they got older, then everything because respect
goes both ways. I respect my children because I know
what I put in them and their due respect.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
I put things in.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Them because I'm expecting respect back because when I give it,
if I call or if I talk to an angel,
and you know, words don't always do what they're supposed to.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Die.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Our relationship have changed, is gone to another level in
the last few years because before that, oh, we were.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Getting mad and we would stay mad.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
But now God has done something different, and I think
that that different thing has started in me where I
would allow her to vent and when she would get
it all out, then I would say and not yelling
with my calm voice, because I think it's so important
that you not yell all the time, because we're not animals.
(19:22):
We so therefore, when I say, okay, now you said that.
Now listen, let me make myself as clear as I can.
This phone goes both ways, and I know you understand
that I am the mother. So if ever you do
that again, this phone will also ring both ways. And
I don't have to pick up my phone cause I
(19:43):
pay the bill. I need you to understand that even
when I deal with my son and everybody think, oh,
he is so special because he does so many different
things for me, and I love him, I love all
my children. I love him special for what he's doing
for me, but I do not I take nothing off
of him if he starts talking or do I said,
(20:04):
hold it, wait a minute. And sometimes I have to
take a break because if I you know, I'm like, okay,
that's enough of that, wait a minute, and then I
come back, and then I said.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Okay, let's finish that. Let's finish what we're talking about,
and then we're good. But it's about respect.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
Even when they're little and you yelling at them, they
don't understand that they see they doing what you saying.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Do, but you need to try to, you know.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
I feel like it's important when we're raising our children
that help them understand by our example. If all you
do is yell at them, that's all they're gonna respond to.
They need to know that you are communicating with them.
So when something happened, it's not a yell. This is
what this is what I mean. This is why I
told you not to do that, because I was that mama.
(20:49):
This is why everybody have their own head. This is
why everybody is not all attached to there, because you
can think for yourself. And so if you don't think
for yourself, then this is what's gonna happen. When I
say don't be outside after dark, and that means you're
gonna get a beat down.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
That means that's what I mean.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
When I get to the house and you're not there,
then I'm gonna wait for you, and when you come
through that door, I'm gonna start beating from at the
top of the steps on it because I mean what
I say, and I think if we tell them I
mean what I say, I don't go back and forth
with nobody I'm taking.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Care of I never did that.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
I mean what I say, And if I give you
something new, I will beat you at the church house,
Deacon Taylor in a test of that because I beat
our letting go at the church house because I mean
what I say when I say do it this way,
do it that way.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
We ain't got this what I'm.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Yelling and screaming for running my blood pressure up because
I told you to do something.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
No sit down.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
I'm not gonna sit sit down again one time. And
if you don't sit down, that's a pop. That's it,
and okay, that's the end of it.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Thank you, hey man. And you know why, you know
why we we It's hard for us to do that
as a whole because it's work, takes too much time.
Why do you think they have all these different words
for different things, you know, so you won't have to
say the whole sentence, all these little acronyms, all the
(22:23):
little emojis, emojis tell it all.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Right, I an a.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
And that's the reason why we don't we we k
it's it's hard for most of us to do it
because it's takes too much time, and sometimes we forget
where we came from. Somebody had to show us. I
I this this little one in my house is is
I'm really st He's really schooling me, getting me back
to the basics. Cause sometime I wanna take him and
(22:52):
grab him. But then I look at him and I say,
you know what I need to explain. This is your toy,
this is mine, This is nanas. Don't touch this. If
you touch it, you're gonna get a pal pal. And
(23:14):
when his mom come in, or his granny come in,
or his ain'ty come in, Nana pow And he's not
saying all his sentences, but they know something happened. I pooped,
and Pal, yes, you can say everything else. You gonna
(23:35):
tell me when you have to poop. So it's it's
it's but see, it takes work. And this generation don't
wanta work. It's just you don't have patience with the work.
Slash patience. You got to have it. Praise God, James said.
(23:58):
The tongue is a fire a word world of iniquity.
So is the tongue among our members, that it defileth
the whole body and set it on fire the course
of nature, and it is set on fire of hell.
That's the tongue. So we have to be careful. People
have to be careful about what they say. And if
(24:20):
you do, if you're careful, it'll save you a world
of trouble. Most of the time, most of the time.
All right, it's a proverb. It's not a promise, it's
a principle. It's not a promise that's gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
Four.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who deal with
in proud wrath.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
People who think they are better than others. They show,
they show they are evil by what they do. We've
already came to this. We've already talked about the haughty person,
the scorner person in person use ridicule, contempt, and mockery
to belittle others. Somebody that's haughty and a scorner. They
(25:06):
feel like they are.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
It.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
And it's hard to deal with people like that. Amen.
Their pride is driven by a sense of self importance.
It's all about me and nobody else. If I don't
do it, it won't get done. Praise God again. A
(25:33):
proud and haughty people think only of themselves. They think
themselves better than others and are very arrogant, causing them
to look down on others. Amen. Romans twelve and three says,
for I say, through the grace given unto me, to
every man that is among you, not to think of
(25:54):
himself more highly than he ought to think, but to
think so according as God has dealt to every man
the measure of faith. It's it's hard sometimes for a
person that feels like they, uh, that's proud and and
hearty to to come down. But it's hard, but it's
not impossible. Right with such, we say, life will treat
(26:19):
teach you, cause there's gonna be always gonna be somebody
more prouder than you and know how to put you
in your place. It's very f it's it's it's it's
amazing how people can talk about how they were treated,
then when they get to a certain point, they go
and treat people the same way they were treated. Did
(26:41):
you forget how you did you forget how you felt
when somebody talked to you like that? But and then
they have an excuse, well they should know better. Well,
when you were talking to like that, they thought you
should have known better. Amen, all right? Twenty five.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
The desire of the slothful killeth him for his hands.
Refuse to labor.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
We just revisiting this again, right quick. Lazy people will
cause their own destruction because they refuse to work. For
man don't work, neither shall he eat The destructive nature
of a lazy person. This is what he's talking about.
A lazy person does it to himself. A lazy person
is a sloughful person, a sluggard person. They desire things
(27:40):
but don't want to do what it takes to get it,
but they want to take it from you. When that's
when they become a thief and a robber. Amen help
us Lord, So we've had this before, Amen twenty six.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
He co coveth it greedily all the day long, but
the righteous giveth and spareth not.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Some people are greedy and never have enough. Have you
met anybody like that? They just want want, want, want, want,
and never have enough. And good people are generous and
have plenty. The greedy is never satisfied. That's what. That's
what the meaning of greedy is, never satisfied. Even when
they eat, They just constantly eating, eating, eating, never getting full.
(28:30):
Wait a minute, is there a bottom to your stomach?
It becomes a sin right when you when you can't
get full and you just keep eating and eating and eating.
What's the word gluttony? That's a sin. Amen. And sometimes
people just eat, bring it back up, eat, bring it
(28:52):
back up, And the world causes the disease, the Lord
calls it gluttony. Amen. So in reference to the church,
Isaiah describes the evil watchmen or the preacher as greedy dogs. Yeay,
they are greedy dogs which can never have enough. Talking
about a preacher, this is that we're talking about in
(29:14):
the world, but now we're talking about in the church,
and they are shepherds that cannot understand, that cannot understand.
They all look to their own way, everyone for his
gain from his quarter. The contrast is the righteous person
is characterized by his generosity. It's not always generous and
(29:38):
money and love and action giving with those streams attached.
Not giving money, but giving of your time. A lot
of times people feel like generosity or somebody that's generous
has and have plenty. They have plenty of love, they
(30:00):
have plenty time, they have plenty compassion. That greedy person
don't have no time for no one but himself. He's selfish.
The righteous person has time for others, just like Jesus
was Amen twenty seven.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination, how much
more when he bringeth it with a wicked mind.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
We've talked about this a little bit before in other scriptures.
God hates sacrifices from the wicked, especially when their reason
for offering them is evil. If the posture of a
person's heart is not right, whatever they try to do
(30:55):
in the name of the Lord is repulsive to him.
He don't like that. God values genuine devotion and a
righteous heart more than just attending services and doing what
you do in church. Well, I did this, and I
did that. Obedience is better than sacrifice, as Saul as brother,
(31:18):
Saul as King, Saul, woe until you, scribes and pharisees, hypocrites,
for you are like white at sepulchrous, which indeed appear
beautiful outward, but are full of dead men's bone, which
in all uncleanness. Jeremiah seven and nine says, will you stand,
(31:40):
will you steal murder and commit adultery, and swear falsely
and burn incense to bail and walk after other God
toom ye know not, And then come and stand before
me in this house which is called by my name,
and say, we are delivered to do all these abominations.
(32:03):
So Lord here take my sacrifice.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
Not so.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
See, we talked about this before, but I don't think
we brought these scriptures out Amen, so we'd add a
little bit more to our plate. Twenty eight.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
A false witness shall perish, but the man that hereeth
speaketh constantly.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Witnesses who lie will be caught and punished. A careful
listener will always be there to speak up when I
say careful listener. We talked about this before. Sometimes you
have to really listen closely, closely to what a person
is saying, because what they're saying may not be what
they might be saying something to give themselves away. Like
(32:57):
that instance when I was talking to this sister, and
you know, I made the statement, so I know you
like my husband, and she said I don't. And then
in the next breath she said, you I can't help
who I love. So didn't you just keep talking? Just
(33:22):
keep talking. It's gonna come out. Amen, it's now. This
scripture shows the faith of those who lie or spread lies.
It's not just the liar the one that's lying to
it's spreading lies too. The impact it will have on
others and will have repercussions here or divine repercussions. Would
(33:49):
the revelations say all liars will have their part in
the lake which burneth with fire and Brinstone. So a
liar may not be caught in this day in time.
Like I said, it's a principle, not a promise. Come
on thinking about that.
Speaker 5 (34:14):
The one who listens and talks about the judge the
other week out and judges and this guy he was
suing somebody for us and said they messed up of
his roommate. And he said they caught him three hundred dollars.
And he was like, I went on a trip to
New York and I bought these pants when I went
to a little a little boy and this that and
the nothing.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
He just and the judge asked me, did he have
the receipt?
Speaker 5 (34:38):
And so when he gave the judge the receipt, the
judge said, this receipt says North Carolina. He said, you
said you brought him in New York And I didn't
even catch it.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
But the judge went back to it.
Speaker 5 (34:49):
He said, yo, cases dismissed because you just purchased yourself.
So if the judge, which is God, the righteous judge,
he's listening, So if we keep talking enough is yeah, yeah, but.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Praise the Lord. It's a careful listener. He's saying, you
got to be a careful listener. You already told you
about the one that's lying. But we have our part.
We got a listening care because sometimes people are not
saying what you they's talking out the side of their mouth, right,
and you know they are, so we have to be careful. Amen. Amen.
(35:31):
And sometimes there's well, just what you said, there's legal,
legal repercussions you done purgur it yourself, or that person
loses his own reputation. Oh, I can't trust that person.
They lie toom and they spread lies. You know people
that spread lies because sometimes you test people and tell
them things and say, I don't want to hear it again,
(35:55):
and you know you've only told that one person, and
it gets around like where you here from, and you
know how we are. I'm not as the snitches get stitches.
I'm not gonna say nothing. But you already know you
only told one person. So how did it turn around
to be like that? You are the weakest link. Amen.
(36:21):
So now he and he's also seeing the value of
honesty and being truthful. Amen. Twenty nine.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
A wicked man heartened his face. But as for the upright,
I'm sorry he direth his way directed. I'm sorry directed
his way I got right.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
All right, good people know they are right. But the
wicked have to pretend the countenance of a wicked man.
They have to really, he has to really really his
face does not show what he's really feeling. Hey, man,
(37:07):
the wicked will try to hide their true intentions, whereas
I will out the upright will think things through, and
that it's you can see it on their face. We
know when our kids are lying and they up to something.
There's certain expressions they make. God is like that. I
(37:30):
had one. I knew they was lying because they would stutter.
I said, I know you're lying because you stuttering. So
we've we've, we've This is another one about the wicked man.
(37:52):
He's gonna he's he's he's gonna he can't happen. He's
gonna try to have a straight face, but he's he's
got that red hero in effect heron, yeah, hero effect
that you know. I'm putting this out, but I've got
something else in mind. Amen, we gotta watch out for that. Amen.
(38:12):
A principle, not a promise. Thirty.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
There is no wisdom, nor understanding, nor a counsel against
the Lord.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
Again, there's no one wise enough to make a plan
that cannot succeed if the Lord is against it. This
is talking about the sovereignty of God, the limitation of man,
and the sovereignty of God. We are limited beings God will.
God's will and plan will prevail if it's his will. Amen,
(38:49):
accepting what God allows again Isaiah fifty five. For my
thoughts are not your thoughts, neither my ways your ways.
Saith the Lord. Amen thirty one.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
The horse is prepared against the day of battle, but
safety is of the Lord.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
Now, this is basically what we just talked about in
thirty and when we talked about further up in the
scripture scriptures, you can prepare for your horses for battle,
but only the Lord can give you the victory. Victory
(39:39):
belongs to the Lord despite our efforts to prepare. He's
not saying don't prepare, but despite our efforts to prepare,
and he's talking about the horses here, victory belongs to God.
Trusting God should apply in all aspects of our life.
God controls our outcome, and it's not always an easy thing,
(40:07):
but that's something that we have to learn. Psalms twenty
and seven says, some trust in charits and some trust
in horses, but we will remember the name of the Lord,
our God. God is sovereign, and no matter who how
we prepare, the end result is God is in God's hand.
(40:29):
Example throughout the Old Testament reveals how God would have
his people prepare for battles and he was the victor.
He would send strong winds, he would send hornets, he
would take wheels off of chariots. We're gonna prepare for
these battles. He'll send fire down from heaven. I just
(40:51):
want you to be prepared. I just want you to
go out there. I want you to be obedient. If
it's God's will win and they did win, shall I
go up and pursue and will I win? Go ahead
and pursue and you will win. Amen. That's the end
(41:15):
of chapter twenty one. Amen. That was a good one.
That was a good one. We had a lot of repeats,
but even within the repeats we found that there's more
to it. Everyone's standing in the presence of the Lord.
We want to thank those that listen to this podcast
on this evening and hope that you've got something out
(41:37):
of it that will allow you to live this life
a little bit better. Amen. Amen, We thank God for you.
We thank God for those that are here. Is there
anybody here that needs something from the Lord. We're just
gonna remember those that we prayed for. Those that are
out of the country less say hearts, enjoy themselves and
(42:01):
less them to come back. Amen. Those that are sick
and shut in, praise God. Those that had to work. Amen,
We have those that are their schedules have changed and
they have to work. But you know, God is still faithful.
Like we say that out out of their mouths are
two or three witnesses. Let every word be established. And
(42:23):
he also says, where there's two or three gathered, it's
something about God's numbers. Amen. And sometimes it can be
that's the word generational curses. That's what I was looking for.
It came to me in the end. Sometimes it's generational
curses within the families because they feel like Daddy did
(42:46):
it to mama, so when I grow up, I'm gonna
do the same thing to mama. Mama did it to daddy,
so that I'm gonna do the same thing. But it's
time for these generational curses to be broken. Amen. I
got it out. Thank you Lord, Thank you Jesus. Say man,
is there anyone praise God. Let's do a mass prayer. Father, God,
(43:09):
we thank you for the feet of those that are
here on tonight. We asked that you bless them. Blessed
them them are bless those that weren't able to make
it but was able to listen to the podcast. Amen.
And we just thank and praise God for those that
have taken on the challenge. Shymn those that see the fight,
(43:32):
those that are on the brink of falling, but they
don't want to fall because they love you too much.
Speaker 3 (43:39):
God.
Speaker 1 (43:42):
In spite of all that they're going through. I'm not
gonna give up. I'm gonna stay encouraged, through heartaches and
through pain. I'm gonna pursue this because Lord, you said,
there's nothing impossible for you to do for us. If
(44:05):
we only believe you said, ask and it shall knock,
and it shall And we're standing on your word, Oh God,
as we give ourselves faithfully to you, we're asking for results.
Lord Jesus, We're asking you to show us your glory.
As you show us your glory. We're gonna show you
how much we care and how much we mean what
(44:29):
we say when we love you. When we come into
your presence, Lord Jesus. It's all about you and it's
not about us, and we want to thank you for it.
We thank you for it.
Speaker 2 (44:40):
Lord.
Speaker 1 (44:41):
Yes it hurts, but we want to thank you for
the hurts. We're gonna thank you for the heartache. We're
gonna thank you for the pains because you know that
we can do all things through Christ. That strengthens us,
and you strengthen us day by day, and we thank
you for the name of Jesus. Ask that you just
give us strength even the more. Those that are still
(45:04):
grieving on God, those that are going through Lord, those
that are that need help, Lord Jesus, whether in the
home or on their jobs. Lord, you know what we
need before we even ask, give us consolation, Lord Jesus,
that you're with us. Sometimes we don't feel you, we
can't feel your touch, but we know you're there by faith.
(45:28):
We know that you're there in the name of Jesus,
and we thank you for all things. In Jesus's name.
We pray Amen and Amen.
