Speaker 1 (00:00):
The perfect praise. Hollylujah.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Let's thank God for all the testimony. Thank you Jesus,
Glory to God, Heavenly Father. We thank you for the
feet of those that are here on tonight. We think
and praise You for all things and everything. We think
and praise God for blessing us to be here one
more time to delve into your word.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Oh God, let it be a lighted too our path
of God.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
We ask little us that we do all things, things
in decency and order, and these things, that the words
of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be
accepted in thy sight.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Oh Lord, you are my strength and you are my redeemer. Amen.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Praise the Lord. Amen, you may be seated in the
presence of the Lord. We think and praise God for
another Bible study. Amen, And for those that have you
have been with us these these weeks. We have been
in the Book of Proverbs, and I've been enjoying what
I've been hearing for the feedback from all of you all,
(00:58):
and just the studying. It makes us look at ourselves
and see where we are.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Even though we already said Proverbs are book of principles,
they're not promises, but if they're applied, praise God, you
can get some positive results.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
We think those of you that are hearing and listening,
we think and praise God. Those that came in just
stop by to visit us, Amen, on this evening, and
I'm not gonna bore your patience. We're gonna get right
into our study on tonight. We're in a book of Proverbs.
The twentieth chapter.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
We went through one through ten. Yeah, we went through ten.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Because you know, like I said, be previous previously, and
I'm gonna continue to say it, because sometimes we have
people that are here that are visitors and say, well,
why didn't she go over that. There's some things that
we may skim over real quickly. Because Solomon had a
habit of his His way was saying something but then
(02:02):
saying it again in a different way so that it
can be more understood.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Amen. So sometimes we skim over some.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Of the scriptures that we've already talked about, and I'll
make mention of those when I say we're gonna revisit
this or something to that nature.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
But right now I want to get some takeaways from
one through ten?
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Was it one through ten? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
One through ten? That's right, because we finished eight nineteen.
Amen one through ten. Don't forget to step up to
the Amen, Praise God.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Amen, I wasn't here. Read in verse four stuck got
mm hm.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Basically, you laying around, you don't want to do it.
It's time, it's cold. Whatever you need to do, it's
too cold to do that. So therefore you sit around
and you don't do anything.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
And when you don't do it, now it's harvest time.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Harve time.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Therefore don't look.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Ain't nothing coming, definitely right, Amen and man. We talked
about that sluggard and we were saying how it teaches
the importance of diligence and timeliness and the lazy person.
We talked about that grasshopper, grasshopper, how that grasshopper is
just just just having this good time's hopping from here
(03:49):
to there, pilling the polls and just having himself a
good time and that and is constantly working.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Amen, And and he.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Forgets his Uh, we can and always saying that we can't.
We cannot neglect our responsibilities. And some things must be
done in a timely manner. You can't wait if you
don't plow when you're supposed to plow, Amen, just like
I think brother planting his tomatoes before me, and I
planted mine later, and I got little bitty buds. But
(04:20):
I plant this year. I plant it in it a pot,
and my pot keeps all this rain keeps soaking them,
and I gotta go in there and empty the water
out of the pot. So I only plan it too
tomato plants. The other one is dying because it's just
got two water logs.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Praise God.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
But I don't think I planted it in a timely manner. Amen,
But I did plant. Praise God.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Anybody else, Yes, ma'am.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
If a man of understanding would draw it out, wisdom
not only knows how to get and how to have it,
he also knows how to use it. I also wrote
down the wise man of the wise man of understanding
knows how to draw with.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Well, that's basically repeating itself, but really it was. It
was really that be a man or a woman, they
have a.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
Gets get another individual too, something out of a visual.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
They know what they know.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
The right questions to ask. Sometimes it's hard to get.
Sometimes you don't know what's in the heart of a
man or the spirit of a man. Something's going on,
and you need to be able to test the right questions.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Amen. Amen.
Speaker 6 (05:49):
Mine was Proverbs twenty seven. The just man walketh in
his integrity, his children are blessed after him. Basically, we
talked about and how we live as being saints of God.
How is a reflection and how is it blessed on
our children? But also I brought up about the point
(06:11):
that when you're not where you're supposed to be, when
you're in and out of church, you can allow spirits
and things come into your home and it can affect
your children.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
So it can go either way. Amen.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Yes, it was emphasizing the positive example we must set
before our children. Although we when we speak of the
word of God, the word of God is to the
saints of God, those that you know for us.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
But also like if you're not like, I may mention
how that there are people that are not in church,
but they have a make a positive effect on their
children because they know what they want their children to
do and how to act. And you don't have to
be saved to do that. You can insist on you're
gonna get an education, you're gonna put that phone down
(06:59):
at a certain time. But sometimes we as saints. We
just let our kids do whatever they want to do
and think they're gonna come up the way we want
them to, and it's not gonna work.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Amen. We thank God for those takeaways. Amen. Oh okay,
praise the Lord. Oh that work.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
Uh. My takeaway was respect and authority. What it says
the one who angers the king, he's centers against his
own soul is as so anybody in authority, when you
go against them, or they'd be your boss, a person authority,
figure it if you anger them, knowing you sort of
did it to yourself.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
You broke your own leg. Amen. Amen. All right. So
now we're going to Proverbs eleven. Do I have a reader?
All right?
Speaker 6 (07:56):
Proverbs twenty and eleven. It reads, even at child is
known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
It be right?
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Amen, even a child. Children show what they are like
by the things they do. You can see it in
their actions, whether it's pure, whether it's right.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
You know you apostles.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Father used to say, I see your signs before you
make them. Amen, Because parents, we know we young people.
Remember we didn't just jump up and be sixty fifty
forty years old. You just turn eighteen and I still
say that, and I'm gonna keep saying that. I don't
understand why when we turn eighteen we think we know
(08:44):
everything and our parents don't know anything.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Amen. Praise God.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Heymen, So one, what one does can determine your true character.
Your actions will speak louder than your words. You can
talk all you want to about I'm this and I'm
gonna do this.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
And you know how at the end.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Of the year, we got our yearbooks, and we write
in the yearbooks what.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
We gonna be and what we're gonna do.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Amen, and then look ten years later, having touched it. Amen,
nobody gonna write I want.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
To be a whore.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
A call girl. Nobody writes that down in the year book.
We we talk about what we want to do, but
our actually speak louder than our words. And when we
even when we look at society and we see how
the law enforcement to see people and people that can
can profile and they understand that when these kids are
(09:55):
some small and they killing little animals, there's something to that, right.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
So a child is known by what they do, not
just a child, but an adult too.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Amen. The actions.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Your actions will speak louder than your words Romans twelve
and seventeen recompense no man evil for evil.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
I'm in the wrong one. I'm sorry. We're on. Yeah,
this is eleven.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Okay, Provide things honest in the sight of men.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Whether you it's pure or whether it's evil. Your your
signs is gonna come up.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
What you do is gonna come up, no matter what
how you stay and how you talk, it's gonna come up.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Hebrew says, Hebrew ten and thirty says, for we know
him that have said, vengeance is mine. And I'm in
the wrong scripture. I'm sorry. This scripture is not saying this, Amen.
But we're talking about the kids. The children, and just
(11:09):
like a child when he when we see what they do,
sometimes we gotta nip stuff in the bud. When you
see it, don't ignore it. We want to put a
blind eye to Oh, they'll grow out of it. They're
not gonna grow out of it unless you address it.
If they continue to keep doing it, they gonna keep
(11:30):
doing it. It's it was a little gorilla, a little monkey.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Now it's a gorilla and you can't do nothing with it.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
A man, just like the scripture said, the child is
known by his doing is doing that character whatever it
forms in them from a young age. And I know
one of my grandsons he'll lie just like he breathed,
and and something to go on. And you'll say, you'll
tell them, I know you lying. You don't believe me, no,
(11:59):
But because I sat there and seen you do it,
and you're still telling me that you didn't do it.
But you're known by your doings, it's not so. But
the thing of that is, though even though a child
is known by his doings, Uh, Solomon is saying, you
can still.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Correct that.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
That's what that that's that's the advice that he's given,
even though don't just say, okay, well, that's just him.
Because even though a child is known by his doing it,
just think about when when teachers or whatever tell parents that, well,
little Jimmy did this. You already know little Jimmy is
a monster. But then you're gonna turn around and say, uh,
he said he didn't do it. You already know what
he do at home. He's known by his doings.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
So don't try to.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Act like you don't know when you when you when
you know, you already know. What if you're having trouble
at home, it's gonna follow him to school and stop
ignoring the saying, well, my kids don't act that way,
you know they do?
Speaker 1 (12:54):
You know they do? Hey, man, that's.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
The reason why these these teachers are catching it now
is because parents won't own up to their shortcomings. And
sometimes it's not always a parents' shortcomings. You know, the
kids act different when they are away from the house.
Try me, they follow. My kids did not fall out
(13:18):
and have tempered tantrums. But one of mine had a
temper tantrum in the classroom and the teacher told me that,
you know, she just fell out. And I'm saying, what
what what I said? I just thought about it. I said,
is there somebody in your class falling out? And she
(13:39):
said yes. I said, that's why she's doing it. She
sees what that person is doing. How he getting away
with it? I said, next time she do that before
you call me. Well, that's when we had corporate we
could do corporate punishment. Whoop when she come up out
of that. No, I didn't play that. I did not
(14:00):
play that, And I don't think she did it again.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Amen. If she did, she was she was gonna get
it from me, right Amen?
Speaker 2 (14:15):
And you know it come up again, because sometimes it's
stuff that we got by with.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
We see it in our kids.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Even a child is known by his doing, whether his
work be pure or whether it be right, That goes
the same thing. For an adult we are known. A
tree is known by the fruit it bears. Stop saying,
your apple tree, and I see peaches and plums on
peaches or plums. It can't be no peaches and plums
(14:48):
your lemon tree. That's why you're so sour. Praise God.
That's just that's just imagy, imagy, imagery, Amen, okay twelve.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
Twelfth. First, the hearing ear and the seeing eye. The
Lord hath made even both of them.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
It is the Lord who gave us eyes to see
and ears to hear.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Psalms one thirty nine and fourteen said, I will praise THEE,
for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are thy works,
and that my soul knoweth right. Well, we can't help it.
God has the one that made us. He made us
our ears and for hearing, and our eyes for seeing,
(15:38):
And we can go a little bit deeper. Don't close
your eyes to what you see, don't close your ears
to what you heard.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
You know it's a.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Lie, and we're gonna turn our back to it. Sisters, brothers,
before you get married, don't neglect what you saw.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
What you see in that person.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
They trying to hike some things with sisters, when you
see how your to be treats his mother or his sister,
if he talk bad to his I used to tell
my kids that if he talked bad to his mother,
he won't think second take a second thought to think
bad to you. If he slap his sister, he'll slap
(16:33):
you in a heartbeat. Don't think because because he loves you,
he say he loves mama too.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Vice versa.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Same thing with the wind. Stop closing your eye. He
gave you eyes to see and to hear. Stop ignoring
what you see. Thinking you gonna get him down to
this altar and change him. No, let God change him,
not you change him.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Amen, it's not gonna work.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
It'll work for a minute, a hot minute, and then
when he gets you, he's one of them, them them
wolves in sheep clothing, and he eat Sometimes its tail
sticks out, but you don't, you don't see that. Sometime
it's his a little red ribbin robin hood.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
You you.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
What what big eyes you have, Oh, that's better to
see you with, my dear, What big teeth you have?
That's the last part he gonna eat you, aymen. So
some of these things have some real good analogies. Think
think everything is not spiritual. So don't think because you
(17:50):
saved sat the five feel with the Holy ghost. Somebody
comes sweep you off your feet. Look and listen, because
sometimes they be saying like like, what's his name?
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (18:06):
I must be tired, because you've been running around in
my mind all day long, just lying. Back in our day,
you had a good rap, just lying if I could
turn the sky blue. But I just can't get next
to you.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
You lying, You can't turn to God can do all that? Amen?
All right?
Speaker 6 (18:33):
Thirteen, love not sleep. Doest thou come to poverty? Open
thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread?
Speaker 1 (18:44):
All right? We just we just revisiting this again. This
is uh uh.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
If you love sleep, you will become poor. Use your
time working and you will have plenty to eat. Do
what you're supposed to do, take care of business. If
a man don't work, neither shall he eat. Caution against
excessive sleep. Some people just sleep all the time. Excessive
sleep can to hinder you socially, your social interactors, your
(19:10):
work performance and overall productivity.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
It's a first cousin to a sluggard, and we talked
about a slugger.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Use and all of us is guilty of this procrastination.
Use your time wisely. You know, when we were in
school and we had a paper due, we wait too
the night before those of us that are on those
of you all that's online doing classes. You get your classes,
your stuff is supposed to be submitted at eleven fifty nine,
(19:44):
and you wait until ten o'clock to start writing your
five hundred word paper essay which have to be cited,
and then we're going to offer excuses. That's procrastination and
that doesn't have anything to do with the sleep. But
use your time working and you will have plenty to eat.
(20:06):
Use your time wisely, Amen. All of us can do that.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Amen. Fourteen.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
It is not it is not said the buyer, but
when he is gone his way, then he is boasted.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Oh, I had to do some research on this. When
buying something, people always say it's no good, it costs
too much. Then they go away and others what a
good deal they got. That's what the easy read says.
So what I got out of that was we talked
(20:45):
about this before bades practices. Those in business who cheat amen,
unfair trade practices. You jack up the price and then
say you're gonna have a sale. I didn't know they
did that, but they do. They do it all the time.
(21:07):
I mean I was, I was.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
You know, oblivious, oblivious to it. I didn't know. I'm
still learning.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
But Apostle used to, like I said, they gotta sell
three suits for so much, and I said, they're gonna
have that same sale.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
We can't right now.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
They had that same sale in the next three months,
and they do.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
She said, they are, and they do. Amen.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
So it's it's just talking about the importance of entety
in business. You know. You know a businessman might jack
the price way up and say.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Oh no, no, not for nothing.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
No, well we'll work with you, we'll work with you
and bring it down and bring it down. But he's
bringing it down to the original price. God, don't like that.
That's when we were talking about weights and balances. He
didn't like that. He abhorred that.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
That was the last.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
That was the tent first and twenty and the twenty
and ten. He said, he abhorred those unequ weights and balances.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Amen, what does ten say?
Speaker 6 (22:19):
Ten divers, diver and divers measures? Both of them are
alike abomination to the Lord.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
They cheat, they're unfair. They got more that the weights
are not calibrated. You think you getting two pounds and
you only getting a pound and a half. You think
you get ten ten gallons of gas and you only
get nine because the calibrations are off.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Greed America.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Business people are gonna get Those that are not doing
right are going to get in trouble for cheating the people.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
It's all about the money. Amen. Fifteen.
Speaker 6 (22:59):
There is gold and a multitude of rubies, but the
lifts of knowledge are a precious jewel.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
The right knowledge can bring you gold, pearls and other
expensive things. But knowledge is more precious than God, gold
or pearls or anything we may think that is expensive
or nice. That's all it's saying, Amen, we should value
knowledge and wisdom because you know, He's given the analogy
(23:30):
of when we put when we look at gold and
rubies and diamonds.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
He said, ooh, we got this, we got this. This
is beautiful. We you know, we're rich. We're rich, but
you're richer.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
When you know how to the value when you know
the value of wisdom and knowledge.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
What do we talk about wisdom?
Speaker 2 (23:46):
You don't give a fool money because he wouldn't know
what to do with it.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Amen, wise words.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Luke twelve and fifteen says, take heat and beware of covetousness,
for a man's life does not consist in the abundance
of the things what he possesses, but if he has
knowledge and wisdom. See, we don't think of knowledge and
wisdom as expensive, but it is expensive. It'll help us
(24:17):
out if we know how to do things the right way,
so we won't lose money.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
That's the reason why we have to ask if we
don't know. The scripture said ask if you don't know, ask.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Everybody feels like when you're a leader, you're supposed to
know everything. No, a leader, surprise, surrounds himself or herself
or themselves with people that do know things, so they
know who to get counsel from. So get that out
of your mind, saying I remember teaching a Sunday school
class and somebody asked a question and I said, well,
(24:52):
I don't know anything. About that, but I can point
you to the person that can help you. I didn't
know anything about getting food stamps and things like that,
but I knew people that was able.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
To get it. Assistance and assistance is not bad. And
the reason why I'm saying that is.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Because you know, people say, well, they're on assistance there,
and why they stay on assistance because the system has
them bound. Because when you when you have the assistance
and you try to make yourself do better, they take it.
They take it all the way. They don't gradually take
(25:32):
it from me. Oh you got a job now, so
I'm taking that away. They don't take little pieces away
so you can graduate. So when people say, well, I
might as well just stay on assistance because I do
better on that.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
I got my insurance, my medical insurance.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Some of us that are on jobs and you gotta
pay for medical insurance and you look at your poor
pay check. My son, who is Ficker? I said, what
are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Ficker? Who's giving Ficker some of my money?
Speaker 2 (26:17):
I said, oh, now, you know you gotta pay the
government too.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
They get theirs first. That was so funny to me.
He said, who is Ficker? And I'm trying to figure
out what is ficker if I see a Oh okay.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
All right, So there is gold and a multitude of rubies,
but the lips of knowledge are precious. Is a precious jewel.
Knowledge is precious, Amen, Praise God.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
Sixteen Take his garment that is surety for a stranger,
and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Well, if someone promised you to pay a debt, the
debt of a stranger, get a coat or something from
him to keep him until he gets paid debt paid again,
caution when guaranteeing or co signing the debts of others.
And now this is talking about is we were talking
(27:14):
about somebody you know, this is talking about a stranger.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
That's not wise. Looks are deceiving.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
You might think, oh, this person gonna pay me back.
They got on this, and they got on that. They
look look, they look like they can pay me back.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
It's a higher risk when you don't know the person.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
You already have to try to figure out the person.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
You do know.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
If they really gonna pay you back or they they
have a questionable background, do they? We don't even consider that.
No little birds flying up in here. You're just gonna
go ahead, and remember if they default on what you
have code signed on, you is now your responsibility. Do
(28:07):
not sign, don't cash a check, don't write a check
that your body part can't pay. I can't say what
what they say, but it's a body part that won't
(28:28):
be able to pay it. Amen, consider yourselves. Amen, all right?

Seventeen Bread of de Seit is sweet to a man,
but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
M You may seem good to be a good thing,
to get something by cheating, but in the end it
will be worth nothing. Gain by deceit or stealing. You
will have that temporary pleasure. Oh, I think I got

talks about gravel, Right, gravel is nothing but little pieces
of rocks in your mouth. And I was thinking about

chewing on that, that Uh, foil on the gum. Make

were young. It it goes all through you. But who
wants to you on gravel?
Speaker 1 (30:04):
You breaking teeth?
Speaker 2 (30:06):
It hurts, it doesn't taste good, it's unpleasant. So what
he said, don't go for the temporary pleasure by yourself,
get it yourself. Amen, For what shall it profits a
man if he should gain.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
The whole world and lose his own soul? Amen?
Speaker 2 (30:29):
He think he's got it going on. He think he's

Speaker 2 (30:47):
Amen, get good advice when you make your plans before
you start a war, find some good advisors. Don't don't don't, don't,
don't do it. And we're talking about war. I'm going
back to the marriage thing. Look and see, get some advice.
(31:13):
Ask ask them. I'm going to that part about ask
the right questions. Sometimes we don't ask the right questions
before how many how many bills.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Do you have?
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Because we live in a day in time now? Uh uh,
we got a whole lot of stuff going on.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
You got got uh.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Women think that the man has to pay everything, got
men thinking that the woman's got to stay at home.
It's just a whole lot of stuff going on. So
we have to be sometimes we have to generalize. Amen,
But you need to ask the right question. How many
W two forms do you did you say you had
to this year?
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Did you say you had twelve?
Speaker 6 (31:58):
Mm?
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Hmm.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Can't keep a job to let your mama's house, that's
fine and good. Well, what bills are you paying at
your mama's house? What are the circumstances surrounding you staying
at your mama's house. There's certain circumstances that if they
ask my brother why is he at my mother's house,
(32:21):
it's because he's taking care of his.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Mama, and he do pay bills, and he knows.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
That the house is gonna be his, so he's doing
things to upkeep the house. He not sitting in his
man cave in the basement playing video games and doing
whatever he wants to do. He makes sure his mama
has three square meals a day, and even when he's
out of town, he makes sure her food is ready
in a refrigerator or in the freezer.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
All she has to do is take it out.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
He's just not cooking for he's cleaning, he's working the yard.
Ask the right questions. I'm not saying it's bad to
be at your mama's house because sometimes you stacking up.
You're stacking up so you can, you know, so you
can get out on your own. Even if you're in
your thirties, you still aymen, things happen, Life happens. I'm
(33:13):
not stuck in this little narrow thing that ooh, he's
a mama's boy. He's staying at home with his mama. No,
there's certain reasons why. But but look at look at it.
Not with that that one eye, look at the whole spectrum.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Amen, do you have any children? I don't want no
pop ups.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
So that means if you have some children, that means
you paying You got another bill because you're supposed to
be paying child support. And a good woman, she gonna say,
why you not taking care of them children?
Speaker 1 (33:52):
They're yours?
Speaker 2 (33:53):
So if I have children, you're gonna take care of mind.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Ask the right questions, amen, Praise God. Every purpose is
to stablish established by counsel.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Everything we do. We need to ask questions.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Ask the questions, but you don't need to ask the
right But I love him, don't have the little mermaids
and drunk Tina said, what love got to do with it?
Can you provide and protect me? And what kind of
job do you have? Well, I'm a sales rep. What

Speaker 1 (34:43):
Drugs? I need?
Speaker 2 (34:46):
I need to know where you're getting all this money from. Yeah,
a pharmaceutical distributor. We got we got names for it.
Praise God.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
Oh he he says, dressed legally. Nah ah, stop being naive.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
I gotta go back to that because there's so many
people that are so misconstrued because they don't ask the
right questions and they fall in.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Love with the person. You know. Apostles used to say, he.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
May have a two bucket necks and look all, but
he can't do nothing. He's he's the one in the
mirror all the time. He's the one that don't have
a job. But that one that's like what do he say?
Five foot five feet, slew foot and maybe crosshied. He
gonna he gonna love you and he gonna make sure
you have everything you need. You just may not be
(35:40):
able to look at him like live but love hides
a multitude a man.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
It can't happen. You know, you know, you you've seen where.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
People go to some functions and things and you see
this beautiful or this handsome man and it's.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
It's the opposite. And they say, is that his wife?
How he get her? Is that her husband? How she
get him?
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Heymen, was
she too big?
Speaker 1 (36:19):
I like big women. Praise God to each your own.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Amen, So to every purpose is established by counsel and
with good advice.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
Make war. Sometimes you won't.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
Have to make war if you get some good advice,
be able to work some things out. Don't go to war,
don't make it. Don't make the war. You're gonna create war.
And when you get into a situation that you don't
need to be in, amen again, seekling guidance before make
(36:58):
an important decision, including.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
Going to war.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
We're not going to war, but sometimes you can go
to war in your own house. I'm just bringing it
to us this day. I remember a testimony of a man.
He and his wife was having some issues and things
like that, and he he loved his wife, but she
was She said she couldn't stand it. Whatever he was doing,
and he was. He was telling the testimony. He was
(37:24):
just when she go in one room. He go in
the room with her, She.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
Go out the room. He going to she get out
the room, go out the room with her.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
She sit down and she said, He sit down right
there next to her.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
Where are you going? I'm not leaving you, baby.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
A possible when he would do something crazy, and it'd
be funny because he thinks about.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
His dad, and he would you know, we'd be.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
Going back and forth saying something we wouldn't We wouldn't
yelling or anything like that, but what we weren't agreeing.
He said, Okay, let's start this song. He'll walk out
the room and he'll throw his hat in. So he said,
his dad said, if the hat comes back out, he
can't go in the house.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
So he would throw his hat in.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
All I could do is and if the hat stayed
in the house, but I would just be laughing. I said, boy,
you're so crazy. Anyway, Praise God.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
Every purpose is established by counsel, and we gotta have
good advice.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
Ay man, all right.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Proverbs eleven and fourteen said, where no counsel is, the
people fall, but in the multitude of counselors. There is safety,
meaning that when you get your counseling and guidance, it's
gonna be more than one time. Don't think you're just
gonna ask once and get your answer. It's not gonna
(38:57):
happen whatever we do. It's like, oh, you're so sorry,
you don't know what to do. No, when I'm making
big decisions, I need to get some advice from somebody,
somebody on on my level, not like ray Bone and jerobone.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
Amen. All right.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
Proverbs twelve and fifteen says the way of a fool
is right in his own eyes. But he that hearkens
unto wise count, that he that count, I'm sorry. He
that hearkens unto counsel is wise. We've had this before
and Proverbs fifteen and twenty two. With our council purposes
(39:38):
are disappointed. But in the multitude of counselors there is
They are established. So it's just talking about you just
need to make sure you have all your ducks in
a row. Get look at the whole perspective of what's
going on before you make some decisions. But did I
say we gotta be slow, not rash? Amen, Praise God.
Speaker 6 (40:05):
Nineteen he that goeth about as a tailbarer, revealeth secrets.
They're for a metal, not with him that flattereth with
his lips.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
You can't trust somebody who would talk about things told
in private, and you know they gonna talk because they
talk all the time.
Speaker 1 (40:29):
When somebody come up, did you hear? Did you know?
Speaker 2 (40:39):
So don't be friends with someone who talks too much.
Sometimes I used to wonder, why how did certain people
know so much stuff about different folks.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
It's something too.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
You know something about everybody and everything that's going on.
It's just warned us against revealing secrets and associating with
those who talk too much. You gotta be cautious whom
(41:17):
you share your confidential information to if you don't know
them and don't know them good well, and you know
they have a tendency oop to slip. Oh, I wasn't
supposed to say that, but you said it. You can't
take it back. That's just like in the court of law,
they say something, they say strike it from the book.
You can't unhear what you heard. And I still don't
(41:40):
understand when they say jury ignore that, how they gonna
ignore that they heard it already?
Speaker 1 (41:49):
So that's not.
Speaker 2 (41:50):
Gonna play in their decision just because they said, unhear that.
Speaker 1 (41:56):
Make it make sense to me? It's not making sense
to me. Amen. We'll have a perfect example. King Henzekara.
Speaker 2 (42:03):
He showed all his treasure, including his armory, to the Babylonians,
and Isaiah prophesied to him and told him that his
wealth was gonna be carried away into Babylon.
Speaker 1 (42:15):
God didn't tell him to do that. He didn't.
Speaker 2 (42:17):
He didn't, he didn't, He wasn't advised. In the eighteenth verse,
every purpose is established by counsel. You would to you
talking to the enemy and showing him all your stuff
and your armory. He know where to get you. Right,
(42:39):
So sometimes you have something. When we do things like that,
we're gonna have to suffer consequences. I know apostles used
to used to say some things to certain people.
Speaker 1 (42:51):
I said, why do you say that to that person?
Speaker 2 (42:53):
Because if I say it to them and I know
it got out, I know I won't have to say it.
Speaker 1 (42:56):
I don't have to talk to them anymore.
Speaker 2 (42:59):
But but but but.
Speaker 1 (43:06):
The damage is done.
Speaker 2 (43:09):
Oh God help us today.
Speaker 1 (43:13):
We all have our own personal experience.
Speaker 2 (43:15):
W we told somebody this just between us, and you
done heard it, heard it again, but in a different way.
They left one of the word out, or they twisted
the word. That's not what I said. That's not how
I said it. And you know they can say it
in a different way. Or she said, or he said,
(43:38):
you should have heard the way he said. He just
said it in a common way, but you done added
some spice to it. So we know us and you
should know them that labor among you. That's some things
you just can't tell everybody. And it's not to say
that you in you got these cliques. No, I can't
(44:00):
tell this person because I don't trust them. Yeah, they
can't hold water. That it be a secret. Sometimes it's
good things possle can't hold a secret. Don't say nothing.
Speaker 1 (44:19):
It's a surprise. You gotta tell him far an advance.
But then he forgets and then he has to come
back and say, just an ex surprise. Bless his heart.
Speaker 2 (44:40):
Amen, re understand that he that go it to a
tail bearer. A tail bearer is a person that you
already know it as a tail bearer. He's saying, he
that go it to one, you go to somebody that
does a whole lot of talking you in trouble, so
you did it to yourself.
Speaker 1 (45:00):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (45:01):
Okay, we're gonna end with this twenty.
Speaker 6 (45:06):
Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall
be put out in obscured darkness.
Speaker 1 (45:15):
We've heard this in the New Testament.
Speaker 2 (45:17):
Those who curse their father the mother are like a
lamp that goes out, goes out on the darkest night.
Honor thy father and thy mother, that their days may
be long upon the earth, or the lamp which the
Lord thy God giveth thee. Honor thy mother and thy father.
Honor thy father and mother, which is the first commandment,
(45:40):
with promise that it may dwell with thee, and thou
mayst live long on the earth. There are severe consequences
will follow those who disrespect their parents. And we got
a lot of disrespect for kids, and we got a
(46:01):
lot of disrespectful adults that are disrespecting their elderly parents.
It's not talking about just kids kids, We as adults
can disrespect. But the scriptures say parents, they're still your parents.
So I don't care how old you get. I don't
(46:21):
care if you did turn eighteen and the law say
you've grown, you don't have a right to custs out
to your mother, your father. But we living in a
day and time these kids cuss their parents out. The
parents are scared.
Speaker 1 (46:39):
Of the kids. Huh, yes, well beat them down.
Speaker 2 (46:44):
They are severe consequent and you need Now we've had
this before. There wasn't a lot of disrespect back in
Bible days. They this child is so disobedient, Let's take
them out to the outskirts of the town and let's
stone them to death, beat them so others will fear. Amen,
(47:10):
So severie consequences will follow those who disrespect their parents.
Speaker 1 (47:14):
You don't have their.
Speaker 2 (47:19):
Guidance anymore because they don't want to talk to you,
or they're scared to talk to you. They don't want
to offer their opinion, Like baby, I don't think you know,
they're not gonna say nothing. You lost that guidance, Amen,
You lost the blessings in life because when he says
it's a dark night, you can die graveyard dead. When
(47:43):
mama said don't go and you went. Now, we're dealing
with a lot of stuff. These young people are not listening.
They're they're open to all this cyber stuff and people
are getting kidnapped. The parents don't know who they're talking to.
Why Why Mama gotta know who I'm talking to, just
(48:04):
in case something happened to you. Stupid, foolish, you, brutish child.
Our parents always wanted to know where we were.
Speaker 1 (48:17):
I don't care.
Speaker 2 (48:17):
It is your friend. Where does your friend live? Does
this friend have parents, mother and father? Who's in the
house with them? I read this article where this lawyer
says she don't let her kid go.
Speaker 1 (48:34):
Any and everywhere.
Speaker 2 (48:36):
I may know the parents, but I don't know who's
else in the house.
Speaker 1 (48:39):
I don't know the boy.
Speaker 2 (48:41):
If it's a brother that's older, I don't know the uncle,
I don't know the dad. And I'm not taking chances.
And people get upset. Kids get upset. It's real out there.
(49:02):
So we have to honor our parents, whether we're seventy
or whether we're eighteen. I use eighteen because eighteen is
a year that they say they've grown even though they
can't drink, but they can drink at twenty one.
Speaker 1 (49:18):
But when they turn eighteen, that means they're graduated.
Speaker 2 (49:20):
Right most of the time, they graduated from high school,
and so they feel.
Speaker 1 (49:25):
Like I've arrived. No, this is just one stage in
your life. Amen.
Speaker 2 (49:32):
The law of reaping or so and reaping. When you
disrespect your parents, it can be negative. You don't disrespect
them and you honor them as the scripture says, there
can be positive consequences, but this is talking about negative consequences.
(49:52):
It may not come up right away, but it may
come up in your children. They come up in your children.
Speaker 7 (50:05):
I remember I was at the barbershop and that question
had came up about you know, the scripture like you
under your father and mother your days to be prolonged
up on the earth. But if you know, if you disobeyed,
you know, like I think, I said, like the bird, Yeah,
you're showing your days and the.
Speaker 1 (50:20):
Birds that each each eyeballs up.
Speaker 7 (50:24):
We was going over that scripture and and it was like, well,
you know, someone came up and said, well, what if
that child was a good child or something still happened
to him? And you know, we was trying to break
you know, break it down. And you know, of course
I try to look at it both ways, like, okay,
you know, it might be God's will that that child leads,
(50:46):
because that child leaving is going to hinge onto something
else in somebody else's life or something. But I said,
but also too. I said that child might have been
good in front of that, in front of his parents,
but once he got away from his parents, he is
some things that brought that that days being short in
the past. So and we was breaking it down and
(51:07):
I was like, yeah, they can go either way, because
I said that scripture is true. So just because they
doing good in front their parents, they might be like
an angel, but once they get away from their parents, say,
you never know, I said. And also too, it was
thinking like their heart, like what's their what they meditate
on what they're saying, and you know within themselves that
they might not say it right out in front of nobody,
(51:29):
but what's going on on the inside. I said, God
he justices all of that.
Speaker 1 (51:34):
So there was a.
Speaker 7 (51:35):
Question that came up, and they just reminded that because
I'm like, yeah, you might be good, but what you're
doing when you get away?
Speaker 2 (51:43):
And then and then our Proverbs scripture that talks about
only God knows the hearts and your intentions. Like you said,
we don't know, but God knows.
Speaker 1 (51:55):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (51:56):
We thank God for this portion of Proverbs. Did you
get something out of it?
Speaker 1 (52:01):
I did.
Speaker 2 (52:01):
I was like, Oh, help me, Lord, help me, Lord,
especially with this procrastination. Sometimes there's some things and I
wanted to give my little testimony to I think for
just uh, I just thank God, because I'm still dealing
with some things. And I had one of apostles phones,
and I don't usually go into his phones because even
(52:24):
when he was here, unless he told me to go
into him. And you know, they have all these little
he got the past codes. And the only reason why
I knew the one that we use up here is
because we had to use it up here. But this
other one, I I haven't used it.
Speaker 1 (52:40):
And I said, oh my god, what is this past code?
I couldn't find it.
Speaker 2 (52:44):
I was trying to get some out of the phone
and I, oh, I couldn't get find it.
Speaker 1 (52:49):
I keyed it in.
Speaker 2 (52:50):
I didn't want to kill it too many times because
of the locket, so I only did it one time.
I said, Lord, you're gonna have to tell me what
this code is. So I got in his shower, smelled
his Irish spring, and the code came to me.
Speaker 1 (53:07):
So after I got out to shower, I went and
it ain't God good Amen.
Speaker 2 (53:16):
So that was my testimony, because you know, I was
in a pickle. I didn't know how to get in
that phone. But the Lord told me what the past
code was. Amen, everybody's standing. We want to think it.
Praise God for again for those that are listening, and
I just appreciate you all tuning in.
Speaker 1 (53:34):
I think it. Praise God for those that are here
on tonight. And if there's anybody here.
Speaker 2 (53:37):
We didn't talk about getting saved f you're with the
Holy Ghost or anything like that, but we always have
to leave that door open. Anybody that's wants something from
the Lord on tonight, tonight is your night because tonight
is a good night.
Speaker 1 (53:51):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (53:52):
Tonight is a good night. Amen, want something special from
the Lord. The time is now.

If not, praise God. Let's lift our hands about heads
their Heavenly Father. We thank you for your word on tonight. Lord,
we ask us we just grasp your word and let
it be pliable in our lives.
Speaker 1 (54:10):
O God, let us work through us.
Speaker 2 (54:13):
Amen, meet us right where we are and build us
up where we need to be built in the name
of Jesus. If there's anything that's going on in our lives,
Lord Jesus that we need to be rectified, Lord, we
know that you can do it. Only you can do it.
Meet us right where we are. Touch us from the
crown of our heads to the souls of our feet. Lord,

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Let's thank God for all the testimony. Thank you Jesus,
Glory to God, Heavenly Father. We thank you for the
feet of those that are here on tonight. We think

more time to delve into your word.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Oh God, let it be a lighted too our path
of God.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
We ask little us that we do all things, things
in decency and order, and these things, that the words
of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be
accepted in thy sight.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Oh Lord, you are my strength and you are my redeemer. Amen.

Praise the Lord. Amen, you may be seated in the
presence of the Lord. We think and praise God for
another Bible study. Amen, And for those that have you

I've been hearing for the feedback from all of you all,
(00:58):

and see where we are.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Even though we already said Proverbs are book of principles,
they're not promises, but if they're applied, praise God, you
can get some positive results.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
We think those of you that are hearing and listening,
we think and praise God. Those that came in just
stop by to visit us, Amen, on this evening, and
I'm not gonna bore your patience. We're gonna get right
into our study on tonight. We're in a book of Proverbs.
The twentieth chapter.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
We went through one through ten. Yeah, we went through ten.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Because you know, like I said, be previous previously, and
I'm gonna continue to say it, because sometimes we have
people that are here that are visitors and say, well,
why didn't she go over that. There's some things that
we may skim over real quickly. Because Solomon had a
habit of his His way was saying something but then
(02:02):
saying it again in a different way so that it
can be more understood.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Amen. So sometimes we skim over some.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Of the scriptures that we've already talked about, and I'll
make mention of those when I say we're gonna revisit
this or something to that nature.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
But right now I want to get some takeaways from
one through ten?
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Was it one through ten? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
One through ten? That's right, because we finished eight nineteen.
Amen one through ten. Don't forget to step up to
the Amen, Praise God.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Amen, I wasn't here. Read in verse four stuck got
mm hm.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Basically, you laying around, you don't want to do it.
It's time, it's cold. Whatever you need to do, it's
too cold to do that. So therefore you sit around
and you don't do anything.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
And when you don't do it, now it's harvest time.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Harve time.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Therefore don't look.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Ain't nothing coming, definitely right, Amen and man. We talked
about that sluggard and we were saying how it teaches
the importance of diligence and timeliness and the lazy person.
We talked about that grasshopper, grasshopper, how that grasshopper is
just just just having this good time's hopping from here
(03:49):
to there, pilling the polls and just having himself a
good time and that and is constantly working.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Amen, And and he.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Forgets his Uh, we can and always saying that we can't.
We cannot neglect our responsibilities. And some things must be
done in a timely manner. You can't wait if you
don't plow when you're supposed to plow, Amen, just like
I think brother planting his tomatoes before me, and I
planted mine later, and I got little bitty buds. But
(04:20):
I plant this year. I plant it in it a pot,
and my pot keeps all this rain keeps soaking them,
and I gotta go in there and empty the water
out of the pot. So I only plan it too
tomato plants. The other one is dying because it's just
got two water logs.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Praise God.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
But I don't think I planted it in a timely manner. Amen,
But I did plant. Praise God.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Anybody else, Yes, ma'am.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
If a man of understanding would draw it out, wisdom
not only knows how to get and how to have it,
he also knows how to use it. I also wrote
down the wise man of the wise man of understanding
knows how to draw with.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Well, that's basically repeating itself, but really it was. It
was really that be a man or a woman, they
have a.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
Gets get another individual too, something out of a visual.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
They know what they know.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
The right questions to ask. Sometimes it's hard to get.
Sometimes you don't know what's in the heart of a
man or the spirit of a man. Something's going on,
and you need to be able to test the right questions.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Amen. Amen.
Speaker 6 (05:49):
Mine was Proverbs twenty seven. The just man walketh in
his integrity, his children are blessed after him. Basically, we
talked about and how we live as being saints of God.
How is a reflection and how is it blessed on
our children? But also I brought up about the point
(06:11):
that when you're not where you're supposed to be, when
you're in and out of church, you can allow spirits
and things come into your home and it can affect
your children.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
So it can go either way. Amen.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Yes, it was emphasizing the positive example we must set
before our children. Although we when we speak of the
word of God, the word of God is to the
saints of God, those that you know for us.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
But also like if you're not like, I may mention
how that there are people that are not in church,
but they have a make a positive effect on their
children because they know what they want their children to
do and how to act. And you don't have to
be saved to do that. You can insist on you're
gonna get an education, you're gonna put that phone down
(06:59):
at a certain time. But sometimes we as saints. We
just let our kids do whatever they want to do
and think they're gonna come up the way we want
them to, and it's not gonna work.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Amen. We thank God for those takeaways. Amen. Oh okay,
praise the Lord. Oh that work.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
Uh. My takeaway was respect and authority. What it says
the one who angers the king, he's centers against his
own soul is as so anybody in authority, when you
go against them, or they'd be your boss, a person authority,
figure it if you anger them, knowing you sort of
did it to yourself.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
You broke your own leg. Amen. Amen. All right. So
now we're going to Proverbs eleven. Do I have a reader?
All right?
Speaker 6 (07:56):
Proverbs twenty and eleven. It reads, even at child is
known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
It be right?
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Amen, even a child. Children show what they are like
by the things they do. You can see it in
their actions, whether it's pure, whether it's right.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
You know you apostles.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Father used to say, I see your signs before you
make them. Amen, Because parents, we know we young people.
Remember we didn't just jump up and be sixty fifty
forty years old. You just turn eighteen and I still
say that, and I'm gonna keep saying that. I don't
understand why when we turn eighteen we think we know
(08:44):
everything and our parents don't know anything.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Amen. Praise God.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Heymen, So one, what one does can determine your true character.
Your actions will speak louder than your words. You can
talk all you want to about I'm this and I'm
gonna do this.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
And you know how at the end.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Of the year, we got our yearbooks, and we write
in the yearbooks what.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
We gonna be and what we're gonna do.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Amen, and then look ten years later, having touched it. Amen,
nobody gonna write I want.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
To be a whore.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
A call girl. Nobody writes that down in the year book.
We we talk about what we want to do, but
our actually speak louder than our words. And when we
even when we look at society and we see how
the law enforcement to see people and people that can
can profile and they understand that when these kids are
(09:55):
some small and they killing little animals, there's something to that, right.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
So a child is known by what they do, not
just a child, but an adult too.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Amen. The actions.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Your actions will speak louder than your words Romans twelve
and seventeen recompense no man evil for evil.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
I'm in the wrong one. I'm sorry. We're on. Yeah,
this is eleven.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Okay, Provide things honest in the sight of men.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Whether you it's pure or whether it's evil. Your your
signs is gonna come up.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
What you do is gonna come up, no matter what
how you stay and how you talk, it's gonna come up.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Hebrew says, Hebrew ten and thirty says, for we know
him that have said, vengeance is mine. And I'm in
the wrong scripture. I'm sorry. This scripture is not saying this, Amen.
But we're talking about the kids. The children, and just
(11:09):
like a child when he when we see what they do,
sometimes we gotta nip stuff in the bud. When you
see it, don't ignore it. We want to put a
blind eye to Oh, they'll grow out of it. They're
not gonna grow out of it unless you address it.
If they continue to keep doing it, they gonna keep
(11:30):
doing it. It's it was a little gorilla, a little monkey.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Now it's a gorilla and you can't do nothing with it.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
A man, just like the scripture said, the child is
known by his doing is doing that character whatever it
forms in them from a young age. And I know
one of my grandsons he'll lie just like he breathed,
and and something to go on. And you'll say, you'll
tell them, I know you lying. You don't believe me, no,
(11:59):
But because I sat there and seen you do it,
and you're still telling me that you didn't do it.
But you're known by your doings, it's not so. But
the thing of that is, though even though a child
is known by his doings, Uh, Solomon is saying, you
can still.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Correct that.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
That's what that that's that's the advice that he's given,
even though don't just say, okay, well, that's just him.
Because even though a child is known by his doing it,
just think about when when teachers or whatever tell parents that, well,
little Jimmy did this. You already know little Jimmy is
a monster. But then you're gonna turn around and say, uh,
he said he didn't do it. You already know what
he do at home. He's known by his doings.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
So don't try to.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Act like you don't know when you when you when
you know, you already know. What if you're having trouble
at home, it's gonna follow him to school and stop
ignoring the saying, well, my kids don't act that way,
you know they do?
Speaker 1 (12:54):
You know they do? Hey, man, that's.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
The reason why these these teachers are catching it now
is because parents won't own up to their shortcomings. And
sometimes it's not always a parents' shortcomings. You know, the
kids act different when they are away from the house.
Try me, they follow. My kids did not fall out
(13:18):
and have tempered tantrums. But one of mine had a
temper tantrum in the classroom and the teacher told me that,
you know, she just fell out. And I'm saying, what
what what I said? I just thought about it. I said,
is there somebody in your class falling out? And she
(13:39):
said yes. I said, that's why she's doing it. She
sees what that person is doing. How he getting away
with it? I said, next time she do that before
you call me. Well, that's when we had corporate we
could do corporate punishment. Whoop when she come up out
of that. No, I didn't play that. I did not
(14:00):
play that, And I don't think she did it again.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Amen. If she did, she was she was gonna get
it from me, right Amen?
Speaker 2 (14:15):
And you know it come up again, because sometimes it's
stuff that we got by with.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
We see it in our kids.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Even a child is known by his doing, whether his
work be pure or whether it be right, That goes
the same thing. For an adult we are known. A
tree is known by the fruit it bears. Stop saying,
your apple tree, and I see peaches and plums on
peaches or plums. It can't be no peaches and plums
(14:48):
your lemon tree. That's why you're so sour. Praise God.
That's just that's just imagy, imagy, imagery, Amen, okay twelve.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
Twelfth. First, the hearing ear and the seeing eye. The
Lord hath made even both of them.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
It is the Lord who gave us eyes to see
and ears to hear.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Psalms one thirty nine and fourteen said, I will praise THEE,
for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are thy works,
and that my soul knoweth right. Well, we can't help it.
God has the one that made us. He made us
our ears and for hearing, and our eyes for seeing,
(15:38):
And we can go a little bit deeper. Don't close
your eyes to what you see, don't close your ears
to what you heard.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
You know it's a.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Lie, and we're gonna turn our back to it. Sisters, brothers,
before you get married, don't neglect what you saw.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
What you see in that person.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
They trying to hike some things with sisters, when you
see how your to be treats his mother or his sister,
if he talk bad to his I used to tell
my kids that if he talked bad to his mother,
he won't think second take a second thought to think
bad to you. If he slap his sister, he'll slap
(16:33):
you in a heartbeat. Don't think because because he loves you,
he say he loves mama too.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Vice versa.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Same thing with the wind. Stop closing your eye. He
gave you eyes to see and to hear. Stop ignoring
what you see. Thinking you gonna get him down to
this altar and change him. No, let God change him,
not you change him.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Amen, it's not gonna work.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
It'll work for a minute, a hot minute, and then
when he gets you, he's one of them, them them
wolves in sheep clothing, and he eat Sometimes its tail
sticks out, but you don't, you don't see that. Sometime
it's his a little red ribbin robin hood.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
You you.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
What what big eyes you have, Oh, that's better to
see you with, my dear, What big teeth you have?
That's the last part he gonna eat you, aymen. So
some of these things have some real good analogies. Think
think everything is not spiritual. So don't think because you
(17:50):
saved sat the five feel with the Holy ghost. Somebody
comes sweep you off your feet. Look and listen, because
sometimes they be saying like like, what's his name?
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (18:06):
I must be tired, because you've been running around in
my mind all day long, just lying. Back in our day,
you had a good rap, just lying if I could
turn the sky blue. But I just can't get next
to you.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
You lying, You can't turn to God can do all that? Amen?
All right?
Speaker 6 (18:33):
Thirteen, love not sleep. Doest thou come to poverty? Open
thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread?
Speaker 1 (18:44):
All right? We just we just revisiting this again. This
is uh uh.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
If you love sleep, you will become poor. Use your
time working and you will have plenty to eat. Do
what you're supposed to do, take care of business. If
a man don't work, neither shall he eat. Caution against
excessive sleep. Some people just sleep all the time. Excessive
sleep can to hinder you socially, your social interactors, your
(19:10):
work performance and overall productivity.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
It's a first cousin to a sluggard, and we talked
about a slugger.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Use and all of us is guilty of this procrastination.
Use your time wisely. You know, when we were in
school and we had a paper due, we wait too
the night before those of us that are on those
of you all that's online doing classes. You get your classes,
your stuff is supposed to be submitted at eleven fifty nine,
(19:44):
and you wait until ten o'clock to start writing your
five hundred word paper essay which have to be cited,
and then we're going to offer excuses. That's procrastination and
that doesn't have anything to do with the sleep. But
use your time working and you will have plenty to eat.
(20:06):
Use your time wisely, Amen. All of us can do that.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Amen. Fourteen.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
It is not it is not said the buyer, but
when he is gone his way, then he is boasted.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Oh, I had to do some research on this. When
buying something, people always say it's no good, it costs
too much. Then they go away and others what a
good deal they got. That's what the easy read says.
So what I got out of that was we talked
(20:45):
about this before bades practices. Those in business who cheat amen,
unfair trade practices. You jack up the price and then
say you're gonna have a sale. I didn't know they
did that, but they do. They do it all the time.
(21:07):
I mean I was, I was.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
You know, oblivious, oblivious to it. I didn't know. I'm
still learning.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
But Apostle used to, like I said, they gotta sell
three suits for so much, and I said, they're gonna
have that same sale.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
We can't right now.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
They had that same sale in the next three months,
and they do.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
She said, they are, and they do. Amen.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
So it's it's just talking about the importance of entety
in business. You know. You know a businessman might jack
the price way up and say.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Oh no, no, not for nothing.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
No, well we'll work with you, we'll work with you
and bring it down and bring it down. But he's
bringing it down to the original price. God, don't like that.
That's when we were talking about weights and balances. He
didn't like that. He abhorred that.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
That was the last.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
That was the tent first and twenty and the twenty
and ten. He said, he abhorred those unequ weights and balances.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Amen, what does ten say?
Speaker 6 (22:19):
Ten divers, diver and divers measures? Both of them are
alike abomination to the Lord.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
They cheat, they're unfair. They got more that the weights
are not calibrated. You think you getting two pounds and
you only getting a pound and a half. You think
you get ten ten gallons of gas and you only
get nine because the calibrations are off.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Greed America.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Business people are gonna get Those that are not doing
right are going to get in trouble for cheating the people.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
It's all about the money. Amen. Fifteen.
Speaker 6 (22:59):
There is gold and a multitude of rubies, but the
lifts of knowledge are a precious jewel.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
The right knowledge can bring you gold, pearls and other
expensive things. But knowledge is more precious than God, gold
or pearls or anything we may think that is expensive
or nice. That's all it's saying, Amen, we should value
knowledge and wisdom because you know, He's given the analogy
(23:30):
of when we put when we look at gold and
rubies and diamonds.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
He said, ooh, we got this, we got this. This
is beautiful. We you know, we're rich. We're rich, but
you're richer.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
When you know how to the value when you know
the value of wisdom and knowledge.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
What do we talk about wisdom?
Speaker 2 (23:46):
You don't give a fool money because he wouldn't know
what to do with it.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Amen, wise words.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Luke twelve and fifteen says, take heat and beware of covetousness,
for a man's life does not consist in the abundance
of the things what he possesses, but if he has
knowledge and wisdom. See, we don't think of knowledge and
wisdom as expensive, but it is expensive. It'll help us
(24:17):
out if we know how to do things the right way,
so we won't lose money.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
That's the reason why we have to ask if we
don't know. The scripture said ask if you don't know, ask.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Everybody feels like when you're a leader, you're supposed to
know everything. No, a leader, surprise, surrounds himself or herself
or themselves with people that do know things, so they
know who to get counsel from. So get that out
of your mind, saying I remember teaching a Sunday school
class and somebody asked a question and I said, well,
(24:52):
I don't know anything. About that, but I can point
you to the person that can help you. I didn't
know anything about getting food stamps and things like that,
but I knew people that was able.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
To get it. Assistance and assistance is not bad. And
the reason why I'm saying that is.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Because you know, people say, well, they're on assistance there,
and why they stay on assistance because the system has
them bound. Because when you when you have the assistance
and you try to make yourself do better, they take it.
They take it all the way. They don't gradually take
(25:32):
it from me. Oh you got a job now, so
I'm taking that away. They don't take little pieces away
so you can graduate. So when people say, well, I
might as well just stay on assistance because I do
better on that.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
I got my insurance, my medical insurance.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Some of us that are on jobs and you gotta
pay for medical insurance and you look at your poor
pay check. My son, who is Ficker? I said, what
are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Ficker? Who's giving Ficker some of my money?
Speaker 2 (26:17):
I said, oh, now, you know you gotta pay the
government too.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
They get theirs first. That was so funny to me.
He said, who is Ficker? And I'm trying to figure
out what is ficker if I see a Oh okay.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
All right, So there is gold and a multitude of rubies,
but the lips of knowledge are precious. Is a precious jewel.
Knowledge is precious, Amen, Praise God.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
Sixteen Take his garment that is surety for a stranger,
and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Well, if someone promised you to pay a debt, the
debt of a stranger, get a coat or something from
him to keep him until he gets paid debt paid again,
caution when guaranteeing or co signing the debts of others.
And now this is talking about is we were talking
(27:14):
about somebody you know, this is talking about a stranger.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
That's not wise. Looks are deceiving.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
You might think, oh, this person gonna pay me back.
They got on this, and they got on that. They
look look, they look like they can pay me back.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
It's a higher risk when you don't know the person.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
You already have to try to figure out the person.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
You do know.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
If they really gonna pay you back or they they
have a questionable background, do they? We don't even consider that.
No little birds flying up in here. You're just gonna
go ahead, and remember if they default on what you
have code signed on, you is now your responsibility. Do
(28:07):
not sign, don't cash a check, don't write a check
that your body part can't pay. I can't say what
what they say, but it's a body part that won't
(28:28):
be able to pay it. Amen, consider yourselves. Amen, all right?
Speaker 6 (28:44):
Seventeen Bread of de Seit is sweet to a man,
but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
M You may seem good to be a good thing,
to get something by cheating, but in the end it
will be worth nothing. Gain by deceit or stealing. You
will have that temporary pleasure. Oh, I think I got
away and and I don't know why the way he
(29:16):
says it tastes so sweet when you.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Get it illegally.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
If I guess it's adrenaline rush, I don't know, it's
a ding rush.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
You think you gotta you think you got away with it? Amen.
Bread is good.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
But but but but the when the consequences come. He
talks about gravel, Right, gravel is nothing but little pieces
of rocks in your mouth. And I was thinking about
whenever you get feelings and and and and you start
chewing on that, that Uh, foil on the gum. Make
(29:54):
the mistaken to that fall on the gum when you

wants to you on gravel?
Speaker 1 (30:04):
You breaking teeth?
Speaker 2 (30:06):
It hurts, it doesn't taste good, it's unpleasant. So what
he said, don't go for the temporary pleasure by yourself,
get it yourself. Amen, For what shall it profits a
man if he should gain.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
The whole world and lose his own soul? Amen?
Speaker 2 (30:29):
He think he's got it going on. He think he's
got everything, and he don't have anything.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Amen. All right, That was seventeen eighteen.
Speaker 6 (30:41):
Every purpose is established by counsel, and with good advice,
make war.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Amen, get good advice when you make your plans before
you start a war, find some good advisors. Don't don't don't, don't,
don't do it. And we're talking about war. I'm going
back to the marriage thing. Look and see, get some advice.
(31:13):
Ask ask them. I'm going to that part about ask
the right questions. Sometimes we don't ask the right questions
before how many how many bills.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Do you have?
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Because we live in a day in time now? Uh uh,
we got a whole lot of stuff going on.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
You got got uh.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Women think that the man has to pay everything, got
men thinking that the woman's got to stay at home.
It's just a whole lot of stuff going on. So
we have to be sometimes we have to generalize. Amen,
But you need to ask the right question. How many
W two forms do you did you say you had
to this year?
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Did you say you had twelve?
Speaker 6 (31:58):
Mm?
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Hmm.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Can't keep a job to let your mama's house, that's
fine and good. Well, what bills are you paying at
your mama's house? What are the circumstances surrounding you staying
at your mama's house. There's certain circumstances that if they
ask my brother why is he at my mother's house,
(32:21):
it's because he's taking care of his.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Mama, and he do pay bills, and he knows.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
That the house is gonna be his, so he's doing
things to upkeep the house. He not sitting in his
man cave in the basement playing video games and doing
whatever he wants to do. He makes sure his mama
has three square meals a day, and even when he's
out of town, he makes sure her food is ready
in a refrigerator or in the freezer.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
All she has to do is take it out.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
He's just not cooking for he's cleaning, he's working the yard.
Ask the right questions. I'm not saying it's bad to
be at your mama's house because sometimes you stacking up.
You're stacking up so you can, you know, so you
can get out on your own. Even if you're in
your thirties, you still aymen, things happen, Life happens. I'm
(33:13):
not stuck in this little narrow thing that ooh, he's
a mama's boy. He's staying at home with his mama. No,
there's certain reasons why. But but look at look at it.
Not with that that one eye, look at the whole spectrum.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Amen, do you have any children? I don't want no
pop ups.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
So that means if you have some children, that means
you paying You got another bill because you're supposed to
be paying child support. And a good woman, she gonna say,
why you not taking care of them children?
Speaker 1 (33:52):
They're yours?
Speaker 2 (33:53):
So if I have children, you're gonna take care of mind.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Ask the right questions, amen, Praise God. Every purpose is
to stablish established by counsel.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Everything we do. We need to ask questions.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Ask the questions, but you don't need to ask the
right But I love him, don't have the little mermaids
and drunk Tina said, what love got to do with it?
Can you provide and protect me? And what kind of
job do you have? Well, I'm a sales rep. What
(34:40):
are you representing?
Speaker 1 (34:43):
Drugs? I need?
Speaker 2 (34:46):
I need to know where you're getting all this money from. Yeah,
a pharmaceutical distributor. We got we got names for it.
Praise God.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
Oh he he says, dressed legally. Nah ah, stop being naive.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
I gotta go back to that because there's so many
people that are so misconstrued because they don't ask the
right questions and they fall in.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Love with the person. You know. Apostles used to say, he.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
May have a two bucket necks and look all, but
he can't do nothing. He's he's the one in the
mirror all the time. He's the one that don't have
a job. But that one that's like what do he say?
Five foot five feet, slew foot and maybe crosshied. He
gonna he gonna love you and he gonna make sure
you have everything you need. You just may not be
(35:40):
able to look at him like live but love hides
a multitude a man.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
It can't happen. You know, you know, you you've seen where.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
People go to some functions and things and you see
this beautiful or this handsome man and it's.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
It's the opposite. And they say, is that his wife?
How he get her? Is that her husband? How she
get him?
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Heymen, was
she too big?
Speaker 1 (36:19):
I like big women. Praise God to each your own.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Amen, So to every purpose is established by counsel and
with good advice.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
Make war. Sometimes you won't.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
Have to make war if you get some good advice,
be able to work some things out. Don't go to war,
don't make it. Don't make the war. You're gonna create war.
And when you get into a situation that you don't
need to be in, amen again, seekling guidance before make
(36:58):
an important decision, including.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
Going to war.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
We're not going to war, but sometimes you can go
to war in your own house. I'm just bringing it
to us this day. I remember a testimony of a man.
He and his wife was having some issues and things
like that, and he he loved his wife, but she
was She said she couldn't stand it. Whatever he was doing,
and he was. He was telling the testimony. He was
(37:24):
just when she go in one room. He go in
the room with her, She.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
Go out the room. He going to she get out
the room, go out the room with her.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
She sit down and she said, He sit down right
there next to her.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
Where are you going? I'm not leaving you, baby.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
A possible when he would do something crazy, and it'd
be funny because he thinks about.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
His dad, and he would you know, we'd be.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
Going back and forth saying something we wouldn't We wouldn't
yelling or anything like that, but what we weren't agreeing.
He said, Okay, let's start this song. He'll walk out
the room and he'll throw his hat in. So he said,
his dad said, if the hat comes back out, he
can't go in the house.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
So he would throw his hat in.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
All I could do is and if the hat stayed
in the house, but I would just be laughing. I said, boy,
you're so crazy. Anyway, Praise God.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
Every purpose is established by counsel, and we gotta have
good advice.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
Ay man, all right.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Proverbs eleven and fourteen said, where no counsel is, the
people fall, but in the multitude of counselors. There is safety,
meaning that when you get your counseling and guidance, it's
gonna be more than one time. Don't think you're just
gonna ask once and get your answer. It's not gonna
(38:57):
happen whatever we do. It's like, oh, you're so sorry,
you don't know what to do. No, when I'm making
big decisions, I need to get some advice from somebody,
somebody on on my level, not like ray Bone and jerobone.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
Amen. All right.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
Proverbs twelve and fifteen says the way of a fool
is right in his own eyes. But he that hearkens
unto wise count, that he that count, I'm sorry. He
that hearkens unto counsel is wise. We've had this before
and Proverbs fifteen and twenty two. With our council purposes
(39:38):
are disappointed. But in the multitude of counselors there is
They are established. So it's just talking about you just
need to make sure you have all your ducks in
a row. Get look at the whole perspective of what's
going on before you make some decisions. But did I
say we gotta be slow, not rash? Amen, Praise God.
Speaker 6 (40:05):
Nineteen he that goeth about as a tailbarer, revealeth secrets.
They're for a metal, not with him that flattereth with
his lips.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
You can't trust somebody who would talk about things told
in private, and you know they gonna talk because they
talk all the time.
Speaker 1 (40:29):
When somebody come up, did you hear? Did you know?
Speaker 2 (40:39):
So don't be friends with someone who talks too much.
Sometimes I used to wonder, why how did certain people
know so much stuff about different folks.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
It's something too.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
You know something about everybody and everything that's going on.
It's just warned us against revealing secrets and associating with
those who talk too much. You gotta be cautious whom
(41:17):
you share your confidential information to if you don't know
them and don't know them good well, and you know
they have a tendency oop to slip. Oh, I wasn't
supposed to say that, but you said it. You can't
take it back. That's just like in the court of law,
they say something, they say strike it from the book.
You can't unhear what you heard. And I still don't
(41:40):
understand when they say jury ignore that, how they gonna
ignore that they heard it already?
Speaker 1 (41:49):
So that's not.
Speaker 2 (41:50):
Gonna play in their decision just because they said, unhear that.
Speaker 1 (41:56):
Make it make sense to me? It's not making sense
to me. Amen. We'll have a perfect example. King Henzekara.
Speaker 2 (42:03):
He showed all his treasure, including his armory, to the Babylonians,
and Isaiah prophesied to him and told him that his
wealth was gonna be carried away into Babylon.
Speaker 1 (42:15):
God didn't tell him to do that. He didn't.
Speaker 2 (42:17):
He didn't, he didn't, He wasn't advised. In the eighteenth verse,
every purpose is established by counsel. You would to you
talking to the enemy and showing him all your stuff
and your armory. He know where to get you. Right,
(42:39):
So sometimes you have something. When we do things like that,
we're gonna have to suffer consequences. I know apostles used
to used to say some things to certain people.
Speaker 1 (42:51):
I said, why do you say that to that person?
Speaker 2 (42:53):
Because if I say it to them and I know
it got out, I know I won't have to say it.
Speaker 1 (42:56):
I don't have to talk to them anymore.
Speaker 2 (42:59):
But but but but.
Speaker 1 (43:06):
The damage is done.
Speaker 2 (43:09):
Oh God help us today.
Speaker 1 (43:13):
We all have our own personal experience.
Speaker 2 (43:15):
W we told somebody this just between us, and you
done heard it, heard it again, but in a different way.
They left one of the word out, or they twisted
the word. That's not what I said. That's not how
I said it. And you know they can say it
in a different way. Or she said, or he said,
(43:38):
you should have heard the way he said. He just
said it in a common way, but you done added
some spice to it. So we know us and you
should know them that labor among you. That's some things
you just can't tell everybody. And it's not to say
that you in you got these cliques. No, I can't
(44:00):
tell this person because I don't trust them. Yeah, they
can't hold water. That it be a secret. Sometimes it's
good things possle can't hold a secret. Don't say nothing.
Speaker 1 (44:19):
It's a surprise. You gotta tell him far an advance.
But then he forgets and then he has to come
back and say, just an ex surprise. Bless his heart.
Speaker 2 (44:40):
Amen, re understand that he that go it to a
tail bearer. A tail bearer is a person that you
already know it as a tail bearer. He's saying, he
that go it to one, you go to somebody that
does a whole lot of talking you in trouble, so
you did it to yourself.
Speaker 1 (45:00):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (45:01):
Okay, we're gonna end with this twenty.
Speaker 6 (45:06):
Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall
be put out in obscured darkness.
Speaker 1 (45:15):
We've heard this in the New Testament.
Speaker 2 (45:17):
Those who curse their father the mother are like a
lamp that goes out, goes out on the darkest night.
Honor thy father and thy mother, that their days may
be long upon the earth, or the lamp which the
Lord thy God giveth thee. Honor thy mother and thy father.
Honor thy father and mother, which is the first commandment,
(45:40):
with promise that it may dwell with thee, and thou
mayst live long on the earth. There are severe consequences
will follow those who disrespect their parents. And we got
a lot of disrespect for kids, and we got a
(46:01):
lot of disrespectful adults that are disrespecting their elderly parents.
It's not talking about just kids kids, We as adults
can disrespect. But the scriptures say parents, they're still your parents.
So I don't care how old you get. I don't
(46:21):
care if you did turn eighteen and the law say
you've grown, you don't have a right to custs out
to your mother, your father. But we living in a
day and time these kids cuss their parents out. The
parents are scared.
Speaker 1 (46:39):
Of the kids. Huh, yes, well beat them down.
Speaker 2 (46:44):
They are severe consequent and you need Now we've had
this before. There wasn't a lot of disrespect back in
Bible days. They this child is so disobedient, Let's take
them out to the outskirts of the town and let's
stone them to death, beat them so others will fear. Amen,
(47:10):
So severie consequences will follow those who disrespect their parents.
Speaker 1 (47:14):
You don't have their.
Speaker 2 (47:19):
Guidance anymore because they don't want to talk to you,
or they're scared to talk to you. They don't want
to offer their opinion, Like baby, I don't think you know,
they're not gonna say nothing. You lost that guidance, Amen,
You lost the blessings in life because when he says
it's a dark night, you can die graveyard dead. When
(47:43):
mama said don't go and you went. Now, we're dealing
with a lot of stuff. These young people are not listening.
They're they're open to all this cyber stuff and people
are getting kidnapped. The parents don't know who they're talking to.
Why Why Mama gotta know who I'm talking to, just
(48:04):
in case something happened to you. Stupid, foolish, you, brutish child.
Our parents always wanted to know where we were.
Speaker 1 (48:17):
I don't care.
Speaker 2 (48:17):
It is your friend. Where does your friend live? Does
this friend have parents, mother and father? Who's in the
house with them? I read this article where this lawyer
says she don't let her kid go.
Speaker 1 (48:34):
Any and everywhere.
Speaker 2 (48:36):
I may know the parents, but I don't know who's
else in the house.
Speaker 1 (48:39):
I don't know the boy.
Speaker 2 (48:41):
If it's a brother that's older, I don't know the uncle,
I don't know the dad. And I'm not taking chances.
And people get upset. Kids get upset. It's real out there.
(49:02):
So we have to honor our parents, whether we're seventy
or whether we're eighteen. I use eighteen because eighteen is
a year that they say they've grown even though they
can't drink, but they can drink at twenty one.
Speaker 1 (49:18):
But when they turn eighteen, that means they're graduated.
Speaker 2 (49:20):
Right most of the time, they graduated from high school,
and so they feel.
Speaker 1 (49:25):
Like I've arrived. No, this is just one stage in
your life. Amen.
Speaker 2 (49:32):
The law of reaping or so and reaping. When you
disrespect your parents, it can be negative. You don't disrespect
them and you honor them as the scripture says, there
can be positive consequences, but this is talking about negative consequences.
(49:52):
It may not come up right away, but it may
come up in your children. They come up in your children.
Speaker 7 (50:05):
I remember I was at the barbershop and that question
had came up about you know, the scripture like you
under your father and mother your days to be prolonged
up on the earth. But if you know, if you disobeyed,
you know, like I think, I said, like the bird, Yeah,
you're showing your days and the.
Speaker 1 (50:20):
Birds that each each eyeballs up.
Speaker 7 (50:24):
We was going over that scripture and and it was like, well,
you know, someone came up and said, well, what if
that child was a good child or something still happened
to him? And you know, we was trying to break
you know, break it down. And you know, of course
I try to look at it both ways, like, okay,
you know, it might be God's will that that child leads,
(50:46):
because that child leaving is going to hinge onto something
else in somebody else's life or something. But I said,
but also too. I said that child might have been
good in front of that, in front of his parents,
but once he got away from his parents, he is
some things that brought that that days being short in
the past. So and we was breaking it down and
(51:07):
I was like, yeah, they can go either way, because
I said that scripture is true. So just because they
doing good in front their parents, they might be like
an angel, but once they get away from their parents, say,
you never know, I said. And also too, it was
thinking like their heart, like what's their what they meditate
on what they're saying, and you know within themselves that
they might not say it right out in front of nobody,
(51:29):
but what's going on on the inside. I said, God
he justices all of that.
Speaker 1 (51:34):
So there was a.
Speaker 7 (51:35):
Question that came up, and they just reminded that because
I'm like, yeah, you might be good, but what you're
doing when you get away?
Speaker 2 (51:43):
And then and then our Proverbs scripture that talks about
only God knows the hearts and your intentions. Like you said,
we don't know, but God knows.
Speaker 1 (51:55):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (51:56):
We thank God for this portion of Proverbs. Did you
get something out of it?
Speaker 1 (52:01):
I did.
Speaker 2 (52:01):
I was like, Oh, help me, Lord, help me, Lord,
especially with this procrastination. Sometimes there's some things and I
wanted to give my little testimony to I think for
just uh, I just thank God, because I'm still dealing
with some things. And I had one of apostles phones,
and I don't usually go into his phones because even
(52:24):
when he was here, unless he told me to go
into him. And you know, they have all these little
he got the past codes. And the only reason why
I knew the one that we use up here is
because we had to use it up here. But this
other one, I I haven't used it.
Speaker 1 (52:40):
And I said, oh my god, what is this past code?
I couldn't find it.
Speaker 2 (52:44):
I was trying to get some out of the phone
and I, oh, I couldn't get find it.
Speaker 1 (52:49):
I keyed it in.
Speaker 2 (52:50):
I didn't want to kill it too many times because
of the locket, so I only did it one time.
I said, Lord, you're gonna have to tell me what
this code is. So I got in his shower, smelled
his Irish spring, and the code came to me.
Speaker 1 (53:07):
So after I got out to shower, I went and
it ain't God good Amen.
Speaker 2 (53:16):
So that was my testimony, because you know, I was
in a pickle. I didn't know how to get in
that phone. But the Lord told me what the past
code was. Amen, everybody's standing. We want to think it.
Praise God for again for those that are listening, and
I just appreciate you all tuning in.
Speaker 1 (53:34):
I think it. Praise God for those that are here
on tonight. And if there's anybody here.
Speaker 2 (53:37):
We didn't talk about getting saved f you're with the
Holy Ghost or anything like that, but we always have
to leave that door open. Anybody that's wants something from
the Lord on tonight, tonight is your night because tonight
is a good night.
Speaker 1 (53:51):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (53:52):
Tonight is a good night. Amen, want something special from
the Lord. The time is now.
Speaker 1 (53:57):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (53:58):
If not, praise God. Let's lift our hands about heads
their Heavenly Father. We thank you for your word on tonight. Lord,
we ask us we just grasp your word and let
it be pliable in our lives.
Speaker 1 (54:10):
O God, let us work through us.
Speaker 2 (54:13):
Amen, meet us right where we are and build us
up where we need to be built in the name
of Jesus. If there's anything that's going on in our lives,
Lord Jesus that we need to be rectified, Lord, we
know that you can do it. Only you can do it.
Meet us right where we are. Touch us from the
crown of our heads to the souls of our feet. Lord,
(54:34):
I pray for our young people. I pray specifically for
the young people that has been through this ministry and
have not taken.
Speaker 1 (54:43):
Heed to the word of God.
Speaker 2 (54:45):
Lord, open up their eyes and their understanding before it's
too late.
Speaker 1 (54:49):
In the name of Jesus, we pray, thank God. Amen.
