Keith Moore The Wisdom of God Pt 14 Discerning The Good Pt 3

last well I'm happy we are so blessed God has done so much for us right and this is just the beginning right the scripture said more than once concerning the King said as long as they sought the Lord the Lord made him to prosper right how many think that's a good idea for us and for you and individual and your family as long as we seek the Lord he makes us to prosper and and why what so we can be a blessing so we can do his work so we didn't help other people more you got the more you can do with it right thank you lord before I forget about it we we've have spoken with the service International again and they are in the midst of kind of I guess they're secured in another place is that right Dave and so they're going to be ready for some more folk in another week or so better than they are right now so we'll be putting another team together maybe a week or so but they'll still be able to use as many as we can see and then we've all got some more money that has come in that we can send as well and so we'll be continuing along that because folks gonna need help for a long time and what happens a lot of times as people while something's just happened it's fresh in people's mind but we just we want to keep it in mind as time goes on not just do something you know for a little bit and but we want to keep sowing would you turn this evening please to the fourth chapter of Proverbs if you didn't bring a Bible with you we have extra things Bibles would be glad to let you use maybe you got several at home but didn't bring one hold up your hand if you need to use a Bible tonight and take the time make the effort find the scriptures with us read with us important one of the biggest failures in Christendom is people not putting the word first place in their life there's something else is what I think opinions theories experiences every other thing religion it's not the word churchism denomination denominationalism but it's something that's pushing out the word you know the Lord said individuals he said you've made the Word of God of none effect by your traditions they were holding on to it I had lady come one time after service woman to correct me that wasn't the first time and had she's trying to tell me something and I quoted a scripture to her and she quoted back to me she said yeah but brother Keith the song says I said the one she said the song she quoted me to something out of a hymnal that was completely unscriptural it was contradictory to the scripture I just quoted her but she had more confidence in the old song than she did in the Bible now this is not rare this is common this kind of thing are you with me now because people believe what they believe by golly and I got a right to my beliefs just as much as you preach you know you don't know you don't nor do i if Jesus is our Lord then he tells us what to believe in this book right we believe this no matter what you feel or what what you've experienced don't you nothing else is worthy of building your life on heaven and earth will pass away and all the stuff in it but this word hallelujah will never pass away you can stand on this you can build your life on this and when when the storms of life come when other people you know falter and fail you'll stand you know we're talking about wisdom and do you have proverbs for good we'll hold that and go to Matthew and let's remind ourselves for this how many have to help me here obviously I didn't plan this which is not unusual we should talk about the man that uh built his house on the rock seven yeah 724 thank you thank you that's about three chapters away 724 he said therefore Matthew 7:24 whoever hears these sayings of mine and what does them I will liken him unto a wise man of what kind of man but assess what we've been talking about for the past several weeks now the wisdom of God and he said I'll I liken him to a wise man which built his house upon a rock now what is the rock in in none you've got to keep it right here in this story what is the rock in this verse hmmm well I know I know it sounds good that it's the word and really and Jesus is the rock that's true and he is the word and the word is the rock but specifically speaking in this verse what is being what is the rock doing doing what he said put you on the rock did you see that now not not just the word but what doing it it's a lot of folk have missed that they it's you know it's kind of like people agreeing I'm going to say well you know let's agree in prayer you agree with me on this yeah I agree let's go that's not what the scripture says if any two of you on earth would agree as touching anything they ask so if you don't ask you didn't do the verse did you hear me now if you don't ask then what are you agreeing on y'all agree with minute some people say yeah we agree you know we would you agree with me on this I agree no that's not how you do it if you're gonna do the verse you stop right we're going to ask the Father to do something you and I are going to believe he hears us and leave we receive it and we're coming into agreement together that he's heard us and we expected right got a watch about just rushing through things or things becoming just habit and listen to me there are times when you are not agree people say I agree with me on this well what are we standing on because they're people I ask you to agree and pray with them on things that are not even biblical not even scriptural things are not even the will of God and you should not just blindly and automatically say yeah I'll pray for that yeah I agree with that no don't do that don't do that it hurts your faith when you pray and don't get results and when you don't pray according to the word and you don't pray in faith you won't get results and this was wrong with so many people they have they have prayed and prayed and prayed and they can't see any results and they get disillusioned and think but why pray and you got all kind of people that wanna go to church what good does it do well I read you Bible and you got a lot of places where people are going and the preachers telling them it don't make no difference what you pray God's gonna do what he decides anyway right and so people are thinking well why pray some of the looks I'm getting other crust well let's just take healing I I'm not talkin anybody else I'm talkin what I used to do I used to go with my pastor good man and we were walking and all like we have we'd go visit people at hospital and this is how we'd pray we'd say Lord heal our dear sister if it be thy will and if not why we'll be done now what are we saying what do we believe we believe God is going to do what God is going to do and we're saying Lord if it's your will healer but of course if it was your will you're the healed or anyway but if not don't healer but of course if it wasn't your will you wouldn't healed her anyway right so Lord you gonna do what you gonna do no matter what we do so in other words why am i praying where does prayer come in where does faith go see people don't want to look at things that's black and white they want it to be mysterious and go well you just never know you just never know and that is not a scripture and it's not faith the Bible says don't be unwise don't tell my wisdom don't be unwise but understanding what the will of the Lord is Ephesians 5:17 understanding what the will of the Lord is that's why he gave us the book that's why he gave us the Holy Spirit to teach us so we find out and know what the will of God is and then once we know take a stand of faith on it right take a stand of faith if you're unsure of the will of God then you cannot have faith in that area further like dr. Bosworth said faith begins where the will of God is known you can't have faith unless you are convinced and persuaded of the will of God how's the person gonna get born again and they're not sure whether God wants to save them or not whether it's God's will to save me not I mean what if somebody came down the altar and lost and they they you say well Lord save them if it be thy will what would people do almost anybody in any Christian churches oh no no no no no no you don't pray that way why because we know it's the will of God for them to be saved how do you know well why can't you pray that way about healing or other things right you see what I'm saying it's it's ignorance and I'm gonna tell my somebody told you what I did but I changed the way I pray and we send a whole lot better result since then too well you hear all these testimonies these people are praying if it be thy will mister well now brother Keith brother Keith Jesus prayed if it be thy will I know but he wasn't having a healing meeting in the garden was he now and you never see him or any of the apostles or disciples in Matthew Mark Luke John acts ever pray for the sick within if it be thy will ever so then it's unscriptural to pray that way because in order for something to be scriptural what do you need for it scriptures right show us a scripture where they pray Jesus prayed that way or they prayed that way in the New Testament you can't thanks be unto God when you know the will of God faith comes up in you confidence and boldness and then you can come boldly before the throne of grace not arrogantly not proudly but boldly with confidence why cuz you know the will of God now you're not wandering and wavering and what if and we don't know no he said so so we know and that's what faith is all about faith is sure faith is confident faith is fully persuaded he said the wise man builds his house on the rock the rain descended the floods came the winds blew some stuff went on didn't it and beat on the house now let's just stop right here if you are a man of faith does that ensure you will never have a storm no it does not this man is a doer of the word when he's told my writer this is a wise man this man has heard the word he believed the word and he has acted on the word he is a perpetual lifestyle doer of the word and he has storm it rained brother did it rain until the floods came right he had rain he had floods he had winds I mean big winds and it beat on the house see this is where a lot of folk get in trouble because if there's any rain if there's the Windigo I don't understand I'm a faith person isn't I supposed to be able to be now we just finding out how much of a faith person you're not because we don't really see your faith until the pressure zone until it doesn't look like it or feel like it then just when you see faith no but he just keeps doing the word doing the word do the word and a storm came the floods came the wind blew it beat on him the interfaith men a woman doesn't mean you'll never have any challenges he got hit he got rained on he got he got floods came against him his house got beat on but it fell not it didn't fall for it was founded upon a rock everyone that hears these sayings of mine and doeth them not shall be likened unto what so a foolish person is one who hears and doesn't do a wise man hears and does he'll be likened to a foolish man had built his house on the sand and the rain descended and the floods came and the winds blew same thing and beat on the house but what happened what's the big difference both of them encountered storms in life the big difference is it fell and when it fell it completely fell it great was the fall of it so the wise man is the doer of the word how many doers do a heaven hear said out loud I'm a doer I'm a doer I'm a doer of the word of God are you gonna have to withstand some symptoms on situations well there'll be times when something is pelting you hmm the floods are slapping up against your house does that mean that you have failed no what do we do now having done all to stand you stand keep saying it even one looks like it's too late and it's too far go you keep saying it you keep expecting it you keep saying it and I mean it may be raining so loud you got to yell to get him off the rain and the Thunder may be shaking your house and the floods are slapping up against your door but what do you do you keep doing the same thing you were doing yesterday and the day before because the word does not change and the great thing is sooner or later let's go to subside and when the dust clears you'll be standing there with the miracle with the blessing well can you say Amen through faith and patience persistence endurance we inherit all the promises and blessings and benefits of God can you say Amen and it's a wise man that'll do it and keep on doing it why because he knows this can't last the last person sees past does this stuff in front of you and sees the end result it goes no this has to change I mean God will not let his word fail he cannot lie so I'm standing I'm staying do you still have Proverbs for good I thought you need to hear that before we got to this I don't believe in God with me tonight then we've got some really good things to get to and sometimes people's people might think well why don't you just hurry up and get to it it's not that simple you know there's a great scripture and he cleans sts it says wherever the tree falls to the north of the south whoever falls that's where it lays I think that's deep yeah wherever the wherever the tree falls that's where it lays if you fail the other way it lay that way anybody ever cut any trees well if ever cut any trees out in the woods you're enough woods you learn that you have to learn how to throw the tree to make it lay where you want it to lay you cut it wrong on some of you might have found out I bought your new chainsaw who was that was the chainsaw Mary yeah there she is chainsaw out it's all I've heard all week thanks a lot chainsaw chainsaw think about Phyllis when he starts talking she gets just gleam in her eye and I'm fake it I like our trees around the house there but if you uh if you don't know how to cut a tree you just go hey I'm gonna cut this tree down you gotta get out there and get the cut and get the cutting and you hear it crack and you step by the way and you go no no no not that way boom right into your house or right across your car you through it the wrong way and it lay in the wrong spot well in bringing a message it's that way we got the big tree we want to throw it in the right place and if it lays right and it lays in your heart it'll be there fifty years from now right but sometimes before you throw the big tree you got a lot of other little trees if you don't get them out of the way you have anybody ever been in the woods before you learn how you cut a tree and you got it cut anyway huh and that's it because there were so many of the trees around it wouldn't fall and you thought I should have cut those other trees first well you weren't wise and sometimes that's what's happening when we do with this than we do with that then we deal with it we're getting these other little trees either way so we can throw the big tree and if y'all will stay with me and leave with me we'd get to get the big trees amen proverbs for you there proverbs 4 verse 5 6 and 7 has been our main text for our study on the wisdom of God that we've been involved with for some weeks here if your this is your first time with us on this then you know there's a lot that's going on before this get the the tapes of CDs that are available for free you can download them for free off the website it's all free download and and get a hold of it and get caught up with us verse 5 says get wisdom get understanding forget it not neither decline from the words of my mouth forsake or not she'll preserve you love her she'll keep you wisdom is the principal thing therefore get wisdom and with all you're getting get understanding so what's the emphasis in this passage get it who's the understood subject you you get it you get what get wisdom get understanding it must be available or he wouldn't tell us to get it right and we're not waiting on him because he didn't say wait till I give it to you What did he say which must mean it's there right when mama says come and get it that means she's starting to cook no oh you understand it's on the table come and get it it's ready well the wisdom is ready the understanding is ready he told us to get it now we've gone over a number of things about how we lay hold of whiz and understanding but let's go on further today we talked about discernment the last two Fridays I believe it was now I'm gonna have to clear out another little tree here Oh rotten told you all some of my secrets now what I'm doing do you understand that one of the biggest hindrances to revelation in services is the flesh right yours and mine because the flesh is so antsy and with an impatient right and the flesh wants to be done wants to be through right hurry up hurry up but that's not how it works the things of God don't work that way you know you don't rush God you know rushing and go hurry up God hurry up no you gotta you know wait on the Lord right you got to do it his way you don't tell him how to teach you you don't tell him how to heal you did you hear me you don't tell him how you got to wait on him let him tell you and you got to be willing to wait long enough till you get it right see we live in on email microwave drive-through world and your flesh is used to that and and then the flesh loves instant gratification now now and don't like to wait don't make me wait yeah but God said wait didn't he wait be still know that I'm God wait on the Lord you renew your strength wait right so y'all are believing with me right or we rushed what would you be rushing to you'd be rushing away from here - what news sandwich pajamas huh no reason I said it because if you got enough people that are antsy you jet you can't go you can't keep going you you you can only go so far but y'all are believing God with me I'm askin now right with only a lot of things don't take so much time if you can get your mind off of everything else and focus but if you're kind of half in and half out and well what do we want to do this and let's hurry up and let's do that well the Lord is not okay with that he don't want you reaching out to him what you got why you got your eyes on somebody else right a lot of folk coming to God like this they're like Oh God he I like to give me that real quick please yeah I'm gonna hurry yeah yeah I got to take our stuff to do now he'll say come on come on up here clothes you know but God I'm in a hurry he said I know it's part of your problem come here let's sit down no be quiet what's your big rush and see people are that way at church because they're that way at home they're that way with their prayer life if they have one right with the reading of the word and other things so uh when you can relax only inside we which have believed do enter into rest and you and I believe in God together I didn't come here to give you a message I come here to believe God together with you for revelation right getting wisdom we're getting our wisdom we've come here to get it well you don't want to leave do you get it right you're not gonna get it from me I'm not gonna get it from you we get it from him but we have to blame for it you believe in with me for utterance for anointing for revelation so if you're even in your mind you're putting pressure on me to hurry up and do it hurry up and do it my even right now say well quit talking about that and get to it brother King you're not listening see what I'm saying why am I am talking about this because so much antsy impatient flesh you made it here right you might as well get some by your presence here you sin there's nowhere else I'd rather be I've purposed in my heart everybody said discernment Ecclesiastes eight [Laughter] did you know this that the the more answer you are the slower I have to go it's just a fact did you know that and that's some of what's been happening the first few minutes of this this Ecclesiastes eight are you there we saw this let's look at it again verse five whoever keeps the commandment shall feel no evil thing and a wise man's heart discerns both time and judgment what is discernment me to be able to tell the difference right to be able to differentiate to be able to distinguish to discern a wise person discerns time that's what we backed up what was it to the third chapter and he talked about for everything there's a time and a season for instance there's a time to speak and there's a time to be quiet well what if you're talking when it's quiet time then you're foolish and here here's the bigger problem what if you didn't know it was quiet time then you lack discernment right because discernment means you know the difference now we're growing in these things but how would you know the appropriate time to speak and there's a time when people are quiet when they should speak up how would you know what time it is and what it's appropriate to do only by the wisdom of God but the wisdom of God gives us discernment now another word for discernment is taste taste you remember job we read it we wouldn't looked at it he said the ear tries words like the tongue or the palate tastes food some people are better at tasting and discerning what's in something than others like me I'm not so hot at tasting food I know if it's good or not right I'd say mmm that's good but see that's pretty simple right a good cook would taste and go what hmm butter it's garlic what is that yeah be able to list off everything that's in it and have an idea of the proportion right we used to go up to a place in Ohio with a brother Hagin Kenneth Hagin missile wreaths are traveling them together with them and there was a guy that in the church here that owned a restaurant and one of his specialties was Bananas Foster and cherries Jubilee and he'd come out tableside make them and I'm telling you they were tops now and I me and Dad had big time with that he said which one you and tries to both because it was it you know it was such a special deal and the guy that made them will see Austrian so what he was felt that's that's his occupation he's a chef and he's Austrian and he told us after several years of this he said that wasn't on this but it was on his uh Lobster Thermidor he's told us he had never tasted it we thought huh he said no after he got the recipe where he wanted it and for years now since he had been making it why he said because I'll get if I taste it I'll get to messing with it because he his his taste is developed he's tasting nuances that a lot of folks are not discerning right you say well pasta is pasta that's to the simple right well hold you place here and look in Hebrews the fifth chapter Hebrews chapter 5 Hebrews 5 and notice this Hebrews 5 and verse 10 5:10 he's preaching about Jesus and how the high priesthood compares to that of Melchizedek verse 10 he said called of God Hebrews 5:10 called of God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek of whom we have many things to say and hard to be uttered seeing you are dull of hearing well when I say well Paul why don't you spit it out he's got something to say say it no the ability of the hearer greatly affects and restricts our allows Liberty to the speaker he said for when the for the time you ought to be teachers you have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the Oracles of God and our become such as have need of milk and not of strong meat is development automatic in walking with God no it is not see people sometimes think well you know I've been a Christian for forty years I've been a Christian for 50 years that does not mean you're mature you can be a baby spiritually having been born again 50 years ago now you ought not be right but like first Peter said as newborn babes desire the sincere milk of the word that you may grow thereby and a couple of big reasons why people don't grow one is they don't get fed they say well I've been hearing preaching for X amount of years that don't mean your spirits getting fed depends on what you're hearing if you're an excerpt from this novel and that novel and and this political fault and this theory and this experience and this religious tradition that won't feed your spirit you can hear that for a hundred years and be a baby never grow Paul talked about being nourished up in the words of faith what feeds you faith words the Word of God in now that doesn't mean every sermon has to be about faith but it should be from faith and of faith and faith to faith right that's wise it's not gonna notice you can you tell if your spirits being fed the Word of God can you tell you can't let me just it's just real as eating the meal physical meal you know it when your spirits getting fed it affects you now in that notice this he says verse 13 everyone that uses milk is what now what's the definition of wisdom skilled skilled unskillful in the word of righteousness for he is a babe a baby but strong meat or strong food solid food belongs to them that are a full age even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to what to discern both good and evil as you grow up in the Lord you develop in discernment almost hesitate to use the word because it has such a religious connotation in so many people's mind what did I just get through saying as you develop spiritually what happens taste you develop spiritual taste what does that mean you can tell the difference between good and bad babies don't know right babies will put anything in their mouth won't they they don't they don't discern they said goes in the mouth it could be poisonous it could be deadly now you and I even if we didn't see it if it touched our tongue so many things would go ah which spit it out what because by reason of use I mean how many times does it take you get a big slug of sour milk until the next time your nose gets six inches from it right and you don't have to take a big slug you have developed in discernment sour is bad right but little ones don't know that the exact same thing is true spiritually people just born again our luck like babes in the natural and they can't handle full strong meat they need milk but if they're getting milk and by reason of use not just I said two things well ago you got to be fed what else must you do you got to exercise you got to be a doer but if those two things are going on then you should develop and you should grow and your discernment develops where you can tell and as time goes on our babes in Christ should be very particular about what preaching they listen to why because their discernment is so low right you you and not there's been times before in the past that I heard something and something about it bothered me you but I didn't know what and they're reading scriptures so I felt it's got to be okay it's in the Bible but what they were saying wasn't in the Bible but I didn't have enough discernment where I was we've all been there right well is there a lot more development from where we are discernment what does that mean taste now go back to proverbs of 11 well now excuse me excuse me moving too fast you were there let's read this again so it gets in us even stronger verse 14 strong meat strong food belongs to them who are a full age even those who by what reason of use what has happened their senses have been exercised or we might say and through that exercise developed to discern to know the difference between good and evil now back up to the fourth chapter of Hebrews and look at the twelfth verse tells you the real key to discernment was it say Hebrews 4:12 for the word of God is quick and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit and of the joints and marrow and is a what a discerner distinguisher differentiator of the thoughts and intents of the heart how can you tell what's me what's God what's right what's wrong what's good for now what's not through exercising our self in the word as time goes by our taste develops and as time goes by you know what used to take I used to have to a you know look at something and look at something and analyze it in a certain way to begin to see now you can just hear a few words of it and you can tell where it's going you see what I'm talking about it's like a cook in the beginning you didn't know but after a while after a while now go with me to proverbs 11 we're making some progress proverbs 11 and notice this 1122 as a jewel of gold in a swine snout so is a fair woman which is what without discretion it's now quite a gun what does that mean a high dollar piece of jewelry in a pig's nose what does it mean well it's it's a waste of jewelry right is that what he said and he's talking about a beautiful woman a fair woman attractive woman lovely woman without discretion now that word literally means without taste without what taste to see we use this in our modern vernacular don't we some somebody says well they have no taste which you shouldn't say it about anybody they don't have any taste and the person just got through saying that showed that they have no taste by saying such a thing what what has taste me you can tell the difference between what's appropriate it's a waste v the looks the clothes man a woman makes no difference the the stuff the appearance you can be loaded for bear but if you don't know whether to come or go whether the speaker be quiet what to bring up and what to leave alone it's a waste or you're getting ready are you primping are you prep I didn't write this boy we're having one tonight aren't we ah you're there looking hold your place there and go to ecclesiastical Don - that thought yeah hold on to it anyway what is discretion what is discernment taste you know the difference in Ecclesiastes 10 it Cleaves estie's 10 and verse 2 a wise man's heart is that his right hand a fools heart is that his left their hearts in different places now let me let me say something here people of God are not doing foolish distasteful inappropriate things all the time because wisdom is not available they're doing it you or me whoever because they don't care enough to take the time and look for it are you with me why do you just blare into somewhere and say the wrong thing and stick both feet in your mouth and mess up the atmosphere of the room why mister well I guess I'm just dumb brother that's the easy way out no it's because you didn't care enough to take the time to check your heart to ask the Lord show me how to approach this and the Lord gave me something tonight when I walked in on the platform in its back to the cooking analogy in cooking you should always taste before you serve right right in case it's too salty right or too tired or something's wrong too bitter you don't just shovel it out what should you do tasting oh yeah yeah that'll be fine we serve that that's what's supposed to happen in your heart and mind every time before you open your mouth what you're about to say what you're about to do your before you open your mouth you're supposed to go let me see let me write for this and a lot of times you're going ah now that ain't right for this so you don't say it and you save yourself all kind of problems right but then but see if you if a thought crosses your mind and you spit it out it's too late your filler served us a lemon pie one time I wasn't gonna tell that but you brought it up her dad loves lemon pie and she made us a pie I'm telling you this thing look like a cover of a Betty Crocker book man I mean the meringue was this high crust was perfect we had that thing through the meal look what a pie she served us a big old whopping slice me and her dad I took her but then the thing looked wonderful I took a bite and man it by pulled my lips inside out but I tried to be cool because I wanted her dad to get the same effect on it I didn't want to give it away so I I just tried to get her he said hey is it all right hmm so he took a big old slug and he looked at me in his eyes water and she examined it later there was apparently some question about how much lemon rind you put in the pie because there were multiple lemon rinds in the pie but see if you taste it before you serve it then you find out that it's inappropriate beforehand I'm gonna go over this again slowly Christians you and I are doing dumb things foolish things saying things that are inappropriate wrong place wrong thing wrong time and it's not because you're too dumb because you are saved right you are born again and you have the mind of Christ so why are people do it because they don't care enough to slow down take the time to check their heart and taste it before they serve it right and this is exactly what we've been taught with wisdom and understanding through the whole time if you want to develop and wisdom you have to care enough to not just say whatever crosses your mind you've got to examine it check your heart ask the Lord Lord show me how to do this there have been some things in life and ministry that we're challenging to have to deal with people about and there's been times I prayed half the night sometimes most of the night before I talked to them one it's important that this be said the right way right what should be said something shouldn't be brought up and not just what's brought up but how it said sometimes you could say the same thing but how you say it makes all the difference in the world right and the wisdom of God knows exactly what to say how the right way the right time fin asana we you've heard us talk about in the early days early years of our marriage we had terrible times we've told you about it and one reason we did is because of loose mouths just you know I think some people think God gave them their spouse to just dump their frustration on have to keep it pin up and try to act right at work and in church and then come home and just lash out at each other that is ungodly unspiritual it is not okay and it means you don't care enough but for year after year now we just go months and months and months and not a crossword not nothing even to deal with and one of the one of the reasons why is both of us have learned I know many times with me something will come up and the Lord will check me not now don't get into this now it's not the right time right sometimes after you look at it for a while you think don't get into it at all you just got stirred up right but if you just serve it for you taste it people's gonna burn their mouths they're gonna be embittered soured right her all kind of stuff if you just taste it before you serve it can you save me how much more can you take tonight skip on down to the 12th verse of Ecclesiastes ten twelve well 1010 goes with if the iron is blunt and he don't sharpen the edge he's got to put more strength but wisdom is profitable to direct verse 12 the words of a wise man's mouth are gracious but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself the beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness and the end of his talk is mischievious madness well see if he's wise he'd quit talking he did see this ain't going good the further I go the deeper I'm getting but a fool just keeps on plugging and thinks they can fast talk their way out of it so they turn on the tears and you start talking fast thinking maybe yeah they can't get cakey keep cakey but can't keep up cake good yeah it was bad it was but I was there but then they came in and and we don't know in a holler oh that's a fool and the spiritual person sees right through it right through it and he said verse 14 a fool is full of words full of words a man cannot tell what she'll be and what will be after him who can tell him you don't know you listen to the fool talking you think where is he going with this I don't know where did he start ah I lost him in the labor of the foolish weary if every one of them because he knows not how to go to the city he doesn't know how to get to town the new living says this it says you can identify fools just by the way they walk down the street you can tell a fool another translation says when a fool walks by the way his wisdom fails him and he says to everyone that he's a fool just by the way he acts and how he's talking and what he's doing he's saying I'm a fool I'm a fool fool fool me I'm a fool that's what the scripture says even a fool is counted wise if he holds his peace and you got to be holding your peace to be tasting said out loud taste before you serve did you get this now taste before you serve that's discernment in exercise now hmm glory to God can we start into this tonight I'm looking yes go with me to your yard in ecclesiastes just back up to the second chapter being a wise man or woman means that you you have understanding you you discern and discern means to distinguish are two separate you know the difference between valuable and worthless right and remember Jesus said to people who were covetous he said to them he said what is highly valued among men is detestable in God's sight the English says the things that are considered of great value by man are worth nothing in God's sight what's valuable and what is not in Ecclesiastes 2 verse 13 he said I saw that wisdom excels folly as far as light excels darkness how much better is it to walk in wisdom than in foolishness differs between night and day light and dark verse 14 the wise man's eyes are where in his head that's kind of like that north where the tree falls but there's more to it than you're thinking right the wise men's eyes are in his head but the fool walks in darkness now what does that mean the wise men's eyes are in his head back up to proverbs 17 let me just keep giving you scripture proverbs 17 24 17 24 wisdom is before him that has understanding but what the eyes of a fool are where are in the ends of the earth there is a perversion of faith a perversion of prosperity and I'll call it vain dreamers and people who don't have discernment don't don't taste it they don't see it or hear it and I'll be honest with you it took me several years to begin to discern the difference myself said out loud vain dreamers now you know that the vision of God is precious right but that's not what I'm talking about uh you're there in Proverbs I'm moving slow that's the only way I know how to do it help me with this floor well please stand by various that proverbs 12 thank you proverbs 12 says it where were you proverbs 12:11 he that Till's his land shall be satisfied with bread he that follows vain persons is void of understanding the amplified says he who tells his land will be satisfied with bread but he who follows worthless pursuits is lacking in sense and without understanding the NIV says he who works his land will have abundant food but he who chases fantasy's lacks judgment say that out loud he who chases fantasies lacks judgment then there are numbers of people in so-called word and faith circles and they are fantasy chasers they are vain dreamers and they mask it as faith and young ones and people that have not exercised their their tastes don't know the difference but one thing you will see is years go by and they're still talking some big thing but right where they were 15 years ago are you with me now this big huge deal and and you know we're gonna we're gonna finance half the body of Christ and and they got you know they're bumming off of their friends are you out with minute no y'all gonna help me get this out right this is one of the things we were getting to tonight a wise men's eyes are we're in his head a fools eyes are we're in the ends of the earth a wise man works his land what does that mean what he's got oh come on areare with Milnes a Wiseman didn't mean that you don't have a vision beyond where you are but you're not an idle dreamer you put your hand to what you've got right and your eyes yeah by faith you believe God's taking you beyond where you are but you see pride wants to act like it's at a different place in faith and it really is oh I'm so far out no no believing for a meal and believing for a tank of gas and no no no I believe for big deals yeah but you need gas which tells me you ain't there not only are you not there you don't even have gas faith because you're fantasizing and dreaming about the more you multibillion-dollar deal and not even believing for a tank of gas and next time we see you you'll be in the same place and the next time in the next time and the next time are y'all with Milnes do you understand have you heard what I'm talking about see a lot of people to think Oh a blessed God they they've got great big faith they got great big vision will do they what if they bleed for anybody talk you got talking you got doing and the fools eyes are in the ends of the earth there's always some huge pie in the sky something somewhere some way but a wise man's eyes right and a wise man it is aware of my current resources a wise man is aware of my seed now and my faith here right how many remember the woman you know that they're about to come get her kids and sell them and she came to the man of God and she said you know help me and and What did he say to her I mean she she owes for everything her debt is so big that they're coming taking her house her land or property and her kids in those days they take your children and sell them for slaves and put the money on your dad I mean that they they're in you know big debt and he what does he tell her what do you have in the house and she said I imagine that surprised her she thought well she might have thought some people would have they just said well what do you think preacher I got a bunch of money hid under the bed or something that's why I'm here and that's people that go down What did he say he didn't say can you believe for a multibillion-dollar deal what do you say what do you have what do you have in the house she said I got a little pot of all you know he said that good good this is this key to the miracle right here the little pot of oil this is it we're gonna put our faith on this you know the story God did a miracle paint off all the dead and had plenty of money for him to live on for who knows how long Jesus is looking at these crowds or hungry people on the hillsides remember that what did he ask him he said what do you have go and see go and find out what you got what you've got this is the master where are we going to look up loose woven fish because it's what you have it's where you are the eyes of the wise is in his head God has done this thing for us paid for this property force it took three years two months which to me is not much right and I know God has done much bigger things financially in the world but I'm not gonna belittle what he's done for us by thinking like that are you with me now this is what he's done for us right for us this ain't pie-in-the-sky by-and-by this is here and now you and me he's done it this here now well why didn't I just jump up the second week we were here so let's claim these Millions but by the end of the week and another five or ten to do some ministry work God's a huge God let's claim another 2 billion why not because that was not where you were and it's not where I was right you don't receive we don't receive according to what God can do we don't receive according to the ability of God we don't even receive according to the perfect will of God how many times did Jesus tell people how they received according to your faith be it to you how many times did he tell people that according to your faith according to your faith that's how you received so that's what I've been praying and looking at for the last several weeks and even prior to the what's our next step right well how would you know only by the wisdom of God where you are in faith where I am in faith right compared to the plan of God you know anytime you believe in for something here's how I do it now you know anytime I'm believing for something the first thing I try to find out is what is the very best in the world for it the very best the best in the world for what we're looking for then you find it out sometimes the price tag makes you go how much so the next thing I got to find out is what God's will is the best if you be willing and obedient you'll eat the the good of the land but I don't receive according to God's ability so what's my next thing I got to find out where's my faith I know God can do this that's not the issue the issue is what can I believe the wise men's eyes are in his head the fools eyes are in the ends of the earth always some big fantasy the only what I'm talking about tonight I'm gonna read it again proverbs 12 are you there 11 we're having fun tonight right 11 he that tells his land what'll happened to him he'll be satisfied with bread but he that follows nesting the King James has vain persons but really persons is added it's in italics it's just vain vanities it's what void of understanding the amplified said he who tells his land will be satisfied with bread but he who follows worthless pursuits the NIV says he who chases fantasies chases fantasies but see to the young undiscerning they think well they just got big vision they just got big faith no they're just fantasizing how would we know because nothing happens and nothing keeps on happening year after year and year after year I'm so glad the Lord helped Phyllis and I begin to learn some of these things when we when we started off in the ministry we started off on the bottom she says under the bottom I'd be right - yeah we owed for everything so that was you know you're not even even you'd have to you'd have to get to zero to be even right that you didn't have anything but you didn't know anything so you're right we were under the barrel - on the minus side and we we believe God for every little thing I know it seems small but you know uh every week I believe God for a tank of gas of course nowadays that's bigger than it used to be but I used my faith and there were times when I didn't eat lunch and it wasn't because I was trying to be spiritual and fast it was just a choice but don't even begin to feel sorry for me because I was learning how to use my faith did you hear me now and I learned how to believe God for a $50 pair of shoes that was a big deal with me one year I'm telling you I stood for months on that and somebody sent me 50 dollars for a pair of shoes and then the Lord told me to show it to somebody else but see I'm being tre he's training me how to be led by the spirit how to believe wasn't long after that I had several new pair of shoes see what I'm saying for the rent then we believed God we're in faith for what a year or two to get an apartment that was not in the rough part of town we had a great victory when we got to move you know no shooting in the streets it's quiet over here glory to God had a washer and a dryer downstairs didn't have to go to the wash house but that's it we weren't trying to believe for a multi-million dollar house we knew God could do it we knew it was his will but how do we receive according to Africa and where are we at we were at better apartment faith and then we believed God for a better apartment and then we believe God for a rent house Oh had our own garage and in enjoy and every step of the way do you see what I'm talking about but some of the same as I'm talking about this some of the same people that started out with us they were too advanced from us they couldn't be bothered with believing for a little stuff like that they're believing for for money to finance the whole body of Christ and they're still broke because they're chasing fantasies and their eyes are in the ends of the world and they're not tilling the land that set their hand do you see this and then we believe God for our own house mmm and then a better one I remember the first car we believe far we didn't have new car faith or you kidding no we believe God for a good car that was our faith a good one that ran so we told my when it would get you there and back and the heater worked yes and we got it 88 Oldsmobile back when a car was a car brother and then we got a better used car a Toronado two-tone paint and just kept stepping up and kept stepping up but we're talking about decades everybody say decades decades if you don't start where you are you stay where you are and you can't act too proud believe God for take a gasps I've been saved 40 years well what if you believe four well I'm not messing with all that little stuff I'm believing the finance half the body no you're not you're fantasizing you're following vanities you're full of talk not faith right because years go by and years go by and you're not faithful you don't plug in you're not sowing your seed because you've got this big big huge deal about to break and it didn't break in next year and next year and next year you're not accountable for what you don't have it's what you have what you have go to second Corinthians we'll close with this I think tell me the wise man's eyes are in his head he tells his land he does what's at his hand right he soles his dollar and he's happy about it right he believes God for his new pants on sale and he shouts about it turns his testimony in right but the thing is you keep doing this every day every week every day every week we used to be given five dollars now it scores a thousands at a time well you just keep building just keep increasing right but if you don't start where you are you stay where you are and regress 2nd Corinthians 8 chapter verse nine you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ that though he was rich yet for your sakes he became poor that you through his poverty might be rich did he do it then are you yes he says here and I give my advice for this is expedient for you who have been gone before not only to do but to be forward a year ago now perform the doing of it do what he said you've been talking about if you read this whole chapter you'll see they were talking and talking and talking and other people got stirred up from them talking and it already said offerings and they hadn't sent theirs yet he said now you've been talking and that's good but now do it do it then as there was a readiness to will so there may be a performance also out of what you're believing for out of what you have here and now for if there be first a willing mind it's accepted see this goes right along with purpose and in your heart it's accepted according to what - that a man has not according to that he has not it's what you have I said it's what you have it's the light you have right now walk in it it's the faith you have right now use it it's a seed you have right now sew it right it's the Elijah obeying and do what you know to do no vain fantasies no chasing worthless pursuits and as you grow and develop this will happen in you as this happened in us it took a while God gave us some education through a lot of different ways but now used to I didn't know people to start talking big stuff and I'd go yeah couldn't see through it now I believe God can do things beyond what you and I've even thought about right but you you we developed where we can discern what is faith and what's just talk right what is faith and what is fantasy and there's a lot of con men and women that have thought the church an easy mark because we trained our self night and day to believe not having to see we're believers well God can do this when we believe yeah you can do it and that's good well then trust me whoa faith in God it's one thing faith in you an entirely different thing we're to trust God without question you are another thing right what I'm supposed to just trust each other blindly and follow each other blindly why it beat me following you you following me we're supposed to follow the Lord and if you go along with me if I jump up here and I say here let's go do this let's believe for this you should follow because you discern the Lord's in it did you hear me you're not just following me that way if I were to get off then you don't follow or anybody else because men are men women are women they can miss it and as you grow you develop discernment and taste and you can tell where somebody's giving you a snow job whether they talking about your stuff and fantasy star they're just you know in la-la land with what their time I think we're gonna believe this so we're gonna do that we're gonna do the other you know God can do these big things but are they believing for well look at their life what have they believed for what if they'd already done my brother Hagin said a fella come in one time and he announced to this he's stranger to everybody nobody's even seen this guy and he walks into this well founded established church and pops up and tells this pastor he said now I'm a prophet and an apostle and God sent me here and you're supposed to submit to me well God used this man - found this church and then pastored and you know it's grown up and developed here comes this stranger and so he asked the question what have you built how many churches have you built what have you started and what brother Hagin said the fella hadn't even built a chicken coop just because somebody writes a big book and it's for color and and hardbound and they got initials on the end of their name what does that mean you should ask the question what if these people done what if they believed for what if they built what if the hi have they been used to advance the kingdom of God right however they're educated and it's in the book will so what anybody write a book folk teaching about you know their finances well how's your finances if it works gonna work for me it should work if I already worked for you right this should be fruit it's accepted according to what a man has not what he doesn't have can you say you men glory to God I think I've got one more Hebrews can you take another one thank you Lord Hebrews six where we did get it out I don't know if everybody's happy about it or not I'm happy we got that glory to God did you did you get the discernment part the taste part some things look the same they sound the same to the undeveloped eye and ear but for those with discernment you tell there's not the same at all there's a world of difference there's some people they come telling me about some great big deal and you know we're gonna have 10 billion to put in the church next month and you know it's like somebody saying twinkle twinkle little star there's other people if they told me that did you hear me I like I start looking for are you it's better you know what I'm saying because some people have faith and some people have believed there up through these levels to where they're believing for things like that now and others are just fantasizing and never even started where they are in Hebrews the sixth chapter Hebrews six that's not the right one 13s what I want Hebrews 13 verse 7 remember them which have the rule over you is there anybody that has the rule over you people answers yes a lot of folk don't know it but the answer is those who have spoken to you the Word of God who's what whose talk whose faith follow considering what the end of their conversation which means their lifestyle people you can follow are not just people who talk not just people who preach right whether it's preacher or a brother sister people who do people who believe fartin it comes in bling farting it happens right and you keep seeing it day after day and week after week and month after month what's the next phrase Jesus The Anointed One what the same the cell this goes together the same yesterday today forever what a good leader is going to be that way right a solid child of God is going to be that way the same the same yesterday today tomorrow just same things they say the word believe the word stand still sewing still believe it it's getting bigger we're not as far as we're going to be but it's getting bigger and we shout over the victories we don't we don't put it off till we get to the big thing later we enjoy every wrong we enjoy every step right I'm gonna go and come celebrate with us Thanksgiving paid in full huh it's what God has done for us we go shout we're gonna give thanks we're gonna praise God singing and playing - think we all today at some at Sunday what do you think I think so so bring your dancing shoes and give thanks give thanks give faith do not despise anything the Lord does for you because the same faith you believed for five dollars with you feed it long enough you can leave for five million looks exactly the same way so you shout because it's working it's working some I say it's working the words working faith is working God is faithful stand on your feet please whoa hallelujah praise You Lord all thank you lord thank you lord thank you lord Oh hallelujah praise you praise you bless you Lord glory to God glory to God glory to God hallelujah close your eyes if you would now the thing that runs parallel with this people who have had trouble and I know this has been a little bit rough on some people's flesh tonight but it's a great thing because it's an answer and now instead of just bumping along and going year after year and not making progress you can change and begin to get real results one of the big things that's the that allows this fantasy chasing vain pursuits is dishonesty it's a primary dishonesty in people not willing to admit where they really are trying to pretend and act display affront well the scripture said that all things are open and naked before the eyes of him with whom we have to do and the word is the discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart so let's pray right now let's humble ourselves and we pray it out loud so that everybody can join in unhindered said out loud father God I believe all things are possible to you and possible to him that believes nothing it's too big for you I also see that I receive not just according to what you can do but according to my faith open my eyes enlighten me I pray to see any fantasy chasing any foolish vain pursuits trying to act like I'm at a place that I'm not dishonest ease pride reveal it to me help me to see it forgive me of it and show me what's in my hand show me what's my land to tell what I can do now where my faith is now what the next step is [Music] now and no matter how small it is I'll not despise it but I'll humble myself I'll acknowledge the truth and I'll begin to follow you and let my eyes be in my head and walk in wisdom and reality in Jesus name hallelujah oh thank you lord thank you lord let's just praise Him if I lift up your hands your heart Lord we bless you Lord we thank you we thank you we thank you we praise you Oh we thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you Oh bless you Lord bless you Lord bless you Lord bless you Lord bless you know Oh bless you Lord bless you Lord bless you Lord bless you Lord bless you praise you praise you praise you praise you praise you praise you praise you praise you praise you praise you hallelujah thank you lord thank you lord thank you lord thank you lord thank you lord hallelujah glory to God hallelujah thank you lord thank you Lord for growing us up given us discernment so we can taste and know the difference in Jesus name God is a good God scripture said taste and see that he is good we're gonna sing God is a good God as we go yes he is if you here this evening and you're not sure about your salvation you don't know for sure if you are saved or if you died tonight if you'd go to heaven or hell that's serious business don't leave in that condition people will be moving about many of them going towards the back you come down to the front people won't know why you're moving around there'll be people standing here ready to talk with you and pray with you you can know it's real simple Jesus has already done all that needs to be done for it if you believe in receiving properly hallelujah God's a good God can we sing that but Kiwi or God is a good gun [Music] yes yes he's a good guy antsy and Oh God see yeah yes yes yes is a good guy yes yes yes yes yes yeah yes yes [Music] yes yes let's see let's see [Music] [Applause] [Music]
