Keith Moore The Wisdom of God Pt 15 Wisdom And Waste

hallelujah yes he is he's sure supplied us heading my my glory to God I've been looking over you know all the numbers and exactly how everything happened and I'm telling you it it's a miracle it's a miracle I you know you it's hard to explain but if you'd have been in Phyllis's in my skin sitting in the condo thinking about commitment to get this place with no money and no congregation you know unless you were there you just you would not know but in three years three years and it's done glory to God glory to God all right now we'll get to I know maybe you're holding back a little bit right now that's okay but Sunday morning Sunday morning I mean come with your dancing shoes on and let us properly thank our God amen and let anybody that'll hear it know that we know he did it he did it glory to God and if he can do that when we knew less than we know now when we were smaller and weaker than we are now less revelation and less faith and we have now what can he do false in the next three years or five years the Lord tears has come should we expect less no no no so go ahead and start stirring yourself up now what are we gonna believe for next right Gouri no I can't tell you now would you go to proverbs 4 you didn't bring a Bible with you hold up your hand we have extra things extra Bibles that is would be glad to let you use one hold it hold your hand if you didn't bring one use one of ours turn to proverbs 4 follow us in the Bible show respect for the word how many read your chapters this week let me see oh good good now I'm looking in the camera nods you read your chapters huh you in China that you read your chapter good Brazil you read yours no you know this applies worldwide everybody that's involved with faith Life Church everybody everybody what happens ever reads their chapter every day Monday through Friday everybody does everybody does glory you've been getting anything hmm boy I tell you there's some powerful revelation what we've been reading this week about citizenship if you didn't see it you might want to read it again but I'm telling you see Paul was a Roman citizen and he knew his rights and it saved his hide again and again well let me just give you a couple of them real quick he's tie in the movie you just read it right now if you didn't read it I'm sorry you falling behind it pays to read and you know they're tied in to the whipping post they bout to lay into him scourge him that's what they did to Jesus people die from this he looks around he says hey he's tied to the police and hey what is it lawful is it legal for you to scourge a man a Roman citizen uncondensed you remember the guys in charge he said wait wait wait wait and he went to the commander he said hey Skylar Roman do you know he said I didn't know he's a Roman he's a citizen many rushed out there they untied him I said huh sorry mr. Paul really didn't know I mean you're not gonna report this to Caesar 9 what a change how quick then what about you know we're reading just recently you know about him they got that all these guys laying in wait to kill him yeah and then the lawyers you know turtle oasiz trying to tell him to get him a transport he stand up and say no I appeal to Caesar and so the King had to confer to his counsel he said huh can he do that they said yeah he's citizen well you are a citizen of heaven you have rights and privileges in Christ Jesus but you gotta know you gotta know who you are you got to know what you are you got to know what belongs to you and you got to stand up and say hey hey devil whoa you can't do this I command you to stop I bind you up I shut you down right gotta know who York I don't know what you have and that's another seminar proverbs four are you there well for uh reason I said that is I just wanted to ask you are you reading your chapters close enough because all that's in there in much much much more reheat it close proverbs four and before I read that I'm not quite through with that now we've given you instructions on how to read your chapter and you better remember how you read your chapter huh out loud not no rush nothing else going on no radios TVs blaring right the whole family reads it together dad and mom are kids right everybody get the pet dog in there everybody right and this this is you know this is not rushed you you you pray Lord open our eyes show us revelation from this and what else you don't do you don't lump them all together and read them all on Monday and you're done and you don't do it when you're tired right you gotta be fresh sure why because it takes faith to get revelation from what you read just passing your eyes over the words doesn't necessarily do a lot for you you got to read it in faith expecting to see things right that you haven't seen and things you have seen to understand them more and know how to do them you read it out loud with the greatest respect and with faith and when you do that it feeds your spirit and those of you that are doing you know what I'm talking about it is feeding your spirit and you see things all the time there shouldn't be a day that you read a chapter and don't see anything oh well ho-hum I read my chapter then you didn't do it right if you didn't get life it's not because it's not there right the river the righteousness of God Roman said is revealed revealed from faith to faith according to your faith you get light out of it that's why have you ever heard somebody I know I'm serving under brother Hagin my father in the faith it amazed me when I first got to to Rhema and then studying under him and helping him he would open the Bible and start he'd read a chapter I read a half a chapter and man I got so much from listening to him read it and I thought well he's he's not even commenting on it he just reading it why but because he's reading it with more faith did you hear that now with more faith more faith runs concurrent with more revelation yes do you see that now so that's why we give the instructions about this not tired don't rush out loud one all this has to do respect and faith are inseparable you show me a person of great faith I'll show you a person of great respect that's why we say get get a Bible open it up find it look at it right now right we're about to read the wonderful life-giving cannot fail answer to every problem in our life right word that heals us and meets our needs and drives out sorrow and gives us joy and confusion and gives us peace he sent His Word and healed us and delivered us from our destruction right proverbs 4 for the last several weeks we have been studying the subject of the wisdom of God and I sense in my spirit that we're nearing the conclusion of this series for now you know you never just finish these things but the Lord knows what's appropriate for us for the time so be believing with me now and praying with me for the next things right one of the biggest favors you ever did yourself is pray for your ministers because what comes out of them affects you right so so be believing with me already for what's coming next but I'm still on it tonight strong with both feet and we've been getting something based on this proverbs 4 5 4 5 says get wisdom get understanding forget it not neither decline from the words of my mouth forsake or not she'll preserve you lover and she'll keep you wisdom is the principal thing so what so get it beg God for it no get it get wisdom and with all you're getting get understanding what's the recurring theme here get it who's the understood subject you you get wisdom you get understanding get it get it and so we've been using our faith and walking like we have every Friday night coming to get and I believe it's so with many of you hopefully all of you but I know for myself I have gotten so I can just tell anybody besides me I mean I I I am seeing things and with with greater differentiation and discernment and understanding and man it's helping me and I believe that this is seed that's taking root in us and it's just gonna grow and grow and grow and grow and we are going to walk in the wisdom of God and be spared all kind of stuff right and come into all kind of wonderful things by the wisdom and understanding they've got so so much that's wrong in people's lives is due to ignorance and confusion and just so much we don't know but God doesn't want to leave us in darkness he's given us the light of his word he's given us the spirit of wisdom and he said get it boy get it girl right and you say what and wisdom is crying said hey dummy come in here I'll show you what to do you won't be a dummy anymore and we have to say what yes I want my wisdom and here I come right this is from previous lessons we've talked about wisdom cries for us and the Bible says we're to desire and cry for it right but I don't care how far apart you and I are in the field if I'm calling your name high and you're calling my name and we keep coming for each other calling each other what's gonna happen we're gonna get together right and that's what's happening with you and I and wisdom now we've looked at a number of things and if you hadn't been with us then tapes are available you can download it free off the internet and I'll just review for you just a little bit we talked about becoming wiser we talked about wisdom and understanding how you got to be teachable how you got to watch your words how who you hang with and walk with if you walk with wise you'll be wise walk with fools you'll be foolish we talked about the counsel of the godly counsel of the ungodly we talked about there's a devilish wisdom we talked about the wisdom of Daniel and we talked about wisdom and riches they go together right when wisdom shows up the Bible said in one hand his long life and in the other hand his riches right so you ought to be interested in it and we've talked for a couple of sessions own discernment discernment whiz an understanding include discernment and discernment just simply means being able to tell the difference to know the difference now let me review just a little bit more how many believe in God with me tonight now you know how these sessions have been I'm having to believe God ever is because I hadn't taught this this way before and first time you're really feeling your way and tonight I want us to go again to Ecclesiastes 10 look at the scripture that we've looked at before but see another side of it Ecclesiastes the tenth chapter verse 10 we saw this in our first lesson and we'll see it again Ecclesiastes 10:10 says if the iron be blunt and he do not wet the edge which means he doesn't sharpen it then must he put two more strengths how many can testify that you have personal experience with that dull knife dull axe what you got to do you got a saw harder you got to hit it harder and with less results and inferior results right but wisdom is profitable to direct say that out loud wisdom is profitable to direct the Living Bible says a dull axe requires great strength be wise and sharpen the blade right the NIV says if the axe is dull and it's edged unsharpened more strength is needed but skill will bring success does that sound familiar to you well we learn that the words for wisdom literally means skill skill and a wise person becomes skillful in the art of living right where a foolish person bumbles and fumbles through life and just keeps messing up more than they get right we don't have to live that way because the wisdom of God has been given us in fact the Bible says we have the mind of Christ and the Spirit of God who lives in us is also called the spirit of wisdom the Word of God is called the words of wisdom and the wisdom of God we've been given wisdom and access to unlimited wisdom in God but our part is too what did access it use it right act upon it now last week we were talking about some scriptures in Proverbs I want to remind you of in fact turn over to let's see the 28th chapter of Proverbs let me remind you of this proverbs 28 19 everybody awake y'all believe in we've been there right help me out 28 and 19 we looked at this already would see another side of it it says he that tills his bread shall have what plenty of bread but he that follows after vain at the word persons is there but really it's in italics it just says vain or we might say vanity shall have poverty enough everybody say vanity vanity now one of the wisest men in the Bible Solomon pin the book called Ecclesiastes remember that you know how it starts up vanity of vanities they are everything is vanity well what does vanity mean when we hear vanity we think hardiness and pride but no that's not right now there are there are words in the scripture that mean that but not this you need to think Vai in vain something that is in vain is what y'all are quoting the exact definitions of it the one of the one of the Hebrew words literally means hollow hollow or we'd say empty right let me read some other words to you hollow are empty worthless worthless another word is useless worthless useless another one is to no purpose for no benefit and no purpose another one says fruitless I think already said that so when he says vanity of vanities everything is vanity and I'm on till we're gonna talk to you about that tonight what does he say it it's all worthless it's all useless and he goes through great detail about what it what's useless and why it is now this comes back to what we've already mentioned a wise person knows what is valuable and what is worthless a fool does not a fool does not have the discernment the understanding to discern between what is worth my time and what is a waste of my time a fool does not know the difference between what is a waste of my money and what is good use of my money do you see this now it's very significant to understand this tonight we're not fools God has given us wisdom and we're laying hold of our wisdom and so in in that he is giving us discernment to know the difference and the wiser you get the less you waste right now you've heard the old saying waste not want not well that action no not every old saying is correct but that is a scriptural principle we've already talked about that you know we in talking about a wisdom and riches wisdom and wealth we gave you instances of people I know in other cases somebody started out one individual I told you about started out with $50.00 and a set of tapes on how to be led by the spirit and now is a multi-millionaire have you ever had fifty dollars and a set of tapes well why aren't you multi-millionaire right why don't I have more money and I do the masu and this is where people get into this that some a lot of folk don't like this kind of talkers but they look at you like well that's not for everybody yeah it is see what that does let's work people get into the no-fault religion that's what a lot of folk like other churches different from ours because they just want to go and not stay long and they want people to tell them that nothing is your fault if you're if your needs are not met it's not your fault God just didn't see fit to do it if you're not healed it's not your fault if things don't go right if you're a failure in life God in His mysterious ways saw fit to ordained and destined you to be a failure and broken sick for reasons you'll probably never understand in this life but it's a lie I said it's a lie it is not true it is not true the truth is you and I could already be really really rich with the money that has already come through our hands you and I could be super rich right now one well we wasted it we blew it for no nothing you can show for it now right so it was vain and at the time we didn't know the difference we got money so we spent it eat drink and be merry because tomorrow you may be dead that's a fools mentality right and fools will live in lack but I do not believe I'm pastoring a church full of fools so we're stopping the waste and we're coming up right we're changing that and the Lord tarries coming what could you be in another five years or ten years if you know just think about if we just eliminated the waste if we just did that what would happen what we told my brother Keith what I'm talking about help me Lord [Laughter] now we swept under the rug last last week didn't we we may have to get behind the door tonight right read this in and out then I'll go on proverbs of twenty one twenty it's back up to that before you read this on one read you know the translation of the one you just read just listen it says he that cultivates his land will have plenty of bread he that follows after vain persons will have poverty this one says he who father follows worthless people and worthless pursuits will have poverty another one says he who chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty he who follows empty pursuits the enas said was he that's all vanity empty worthless have you ever put a lot of time and effort and money into something and it turned out to be a total waste why'd you do that you did not do it led by the spirit right the Spirit of God did not lead you to waste eight months of work and ten thousand dollars in something that you wasn't gonna see a penny out of but say people do they try to explain it away they go oh yeah we did that you know but the Lord showed me that there was a spiritual thing going on and oh yeah you know people like that better than just saying I missed it but the problem with that you keep explaining everything away you're never going to come out you got to be a man you got to be a woman and you got to step up and go I didn't hear from God on that I just missed it God is not in failure right it never worked I couldn't get ahead it was just spinning my wheels for nothing well then you didn't hear from God oh boy wish you could see some of the looks I'm getting the cousin buses but we Saudi but you're telling me God led you into failure and that's all you've seen is failure out of it but that's what God told you to do it had people ask us about the church you know the church has done so well three years good numbers everything's paid for and people want to do seminar but the Keith come to us a seminar how to do it here's how to do it hear from God got to hear from God well now tell no no yeah we know that we know that but tell us the you know the particulars that's the problem people rush past that part right you got to hear from God right about what to do and where to do it and when to do it and how to do it you and with whom you got to hear from God people rush past that they just get a good idea and go yeah yeah yeah yeah and they talk with the friends yeah yeah I think the Lord's in this yeah yeah yeah three hundred thousand dollars and years worth of sweat later they go well I guess maybe the Lord wasn't in then are ya it was God but you know the people just wouldn't get behind it and the devil just shut us down he can't the devil can't just stop you doing what God told you to do he can't do that he did big well the devil just shut us down no no no he's been stripped he's been brought to knock he's under our feet no no no the problem is you and me have missed it and wasted money and got involved with people we shouldn't have been involved with and spent time on stuff and money on stuff that we should not have right and Oliver eet's your prosperity and you keep doing it year after year after year that's why it takes so long to barely try to get ahead and some folk never do because of foolishness and continually wasting wasting wasting wasting wasting but the last person the wise men or woman doesn't with the wise man the wise woman you can learn to be led by the spirit my friend until there is air there is purpose in every move there is direction in faith in every word there is faith and a future in every seed did you hear me and by the wisdom of God you can eliminate all this waste I'm gonna ask you the question again if you and I just eliminated the waste where would we be hmm in just a few years what would we be y'all go and help me some more now aren't you don't just leave me hanging here proverbs 21 are you there 21 20 says there are well of the King James says there's treasure to be desired and all in the dwelling of the wise but a foolish man spins it up and here says a self-confident foolish man swallows it and wastes it wastes it now when we say waste that is not an excuse for being poverty minded and poverty mentality and saving every bread wrapper and the ties because we can't waste brother Keith we can't and you got margarine bowls from 1975 and you wash with shreds of soap I'm you have to reach down and pick them up put them together for three little shreds oh I dropped my shred though that a way to get you bars so listen brother Keith what difference does it makes a difference at your mind it's your mentality you are thinking and acting like a poor person and as long as you do you're gonna stay poor adding water to the ketchup bottle yeah but brother Keith it's got some in the bottom I can see follow that thing away and go get you a new kitchen but how much does a little bottle of ketchup cost him how much a dollar I have get you a new bottle of ketchup [Laughter] just do it on purpose now how you you you got a half-inch left in the bottom just take it and throw it away and go there and don't go dig it out leave it leave it leave it in the can brother Keith I'm just like you preaching now I don't want to waste anything I'm not preaching that that's why I'm taking the time to define it and qualified that's not what we're talking about rents out the shampoo bottle five times oh there's a little in there brother Ketan Lily get you a new bottle that's poverty minded now remember third John - how are you going to prosper even as your soul so your soul includes your thinking and the way you see things right and so you're not going to prosper outside till you prosper in your soul and as long as you're doing that it shows your souls not prospering you still think and act like a poor poor person people you know I've had people scoff at me and go yeah brother when you preach about the the bread bags and all that stuff anyway we'll see I'm preaching the veal that don't matter and you know we might need them read back someday ten thousand of bread bags bread bags well I just can't throw it away brother Keith hey you know and you run across people I even saw show the other day and this person hadn't thrown anything away in 20 years and their house looked like it too brother I mean it was a disaster this is well I just I just can't I can't well no you don't know what's valuable and what is worthless you have no discernment and you're being foolish you're being a fool right and you you don't have faith you know I've told you the story about you know I we grew up poor and our all our old cars were used and we fixed them and tied them up and welded them and you needed a new part you didn't just go to the parts place and get a new parts you overhauled it or tried to fix it or tie it or weld it or something that's how I grew up and it's all right to be innovative and inventive and do what you can but are you expect to live like that's your whole life a lot of people do they well it's just good enough well then that's all you'll ever have but felassan I've been in the word for some years a few and we're getting we're learning about faith we're learning about sowing and reaping we learning you be willing in an obedient you can eat the good of the land the best you can have the best that's available so we're building our faith to reach up higher well I got a em we bought a Corvette I'd always wanted a Corvette but now it wasn't much of a Corvette $3,000 you could imagine and the I mean everything was shot on it and we took the I took the front end that was shot all the joints and stuff out in the parking lot one day that's where we lived in the you know an apartment complex and and put new ones in and but these tire rods and some of these pieces and and arms I we moved to another apartment I carried him with me and we moved to another apartment I carried him with me and so after years you know I got these accumulation of old parts and because in Phyllis had asked me about them sometimes he said well I thought those were old you took them off the car I said yeah but well you had to go to a salvage yard man that cost you something you know what is that poverty minded poverty mentality so we're moving to our first rental house I believe it was and huh till the to the our own house so I carried him to the rental house so I've moved him about two or three times man we're getting ready to go to the first house we ever owned for ourself of course this is the nicest thing we've ever had and we're going through our stuff and some stuff we're throwing away and and Phyllis sees me loading up all these greasy nasty wore-out car parts and she says yeah are you taking them to the new house I said oh yeah yeah well if you had to go to the salvage yard you know these would cost you something she said well I thought you took them off because they wore out I said well yeah she said I thought we believed in for a brand new Corvette I said yeah yeah she said well that would those fit on the new Corvette I said no he said well you wouldn't put him on there I said no I said I'm that's that's enough talking about that so so she went home and I kept loading them but while I'm loading them I realized you know these won't fit on the new car and you shouldn't put them in yeah I should be believing that if I need a new joint or tie rod I can go to the parts place and get me a new one right because see why am i saying it because all this saving of this old stuff you know you got your last four refrigerators from the previous 25 years in your front yard and in cars your grandpa had sitting out there rusting now don't get mad I just got through telling you that's what I used to do - but why would you do that why are the people that won't throw anything away why now let me listen listen close because you might need it yeah you might you know hard times might come you might need 5,000 bread wrappers you know you but something might happen lose all your plate you might need 40 margarine bowls you might need might not ever might not have a decent card in the future you might have to weld pieces of this one together put that lawnmower motor on it and make it back and forth what are you planning for your planning for poverty and we might need it brother Keith we might need it that's poverty and you're not prospering in your soul so you won't prosper outwardly yeah as you could see some of the looks I'm soaking it all across this but brother Keith do you know where you are yeah I know where I came from down south of here but uh I loaded up all my greasy wore out car parts and I hauled them away and I threw them in the pile and then turned around didn't look back and drove off and you know to this day I haven't needed one of them and I don't expect to and he wasn't but a couple years after that we got that new car right and I did need a thing or two new a part on it but I just went right straight to the parts place and bought a brand new one in the box right right and just been doing better ever since we are not planning to be poor we're not planning to have to resort to junk in the future right God will be on the throne tomorrow he will be our provider next year and the next and the next and we will never won't our lack for any good thing we will be obedient and willing and we will eat the good and the best not to junk not to war out the best of the lane right so you don't run those tires until there's one tread left oh look there's two good tread left or not done get those things off of there put some new tires on that thing use those windshield wipers you know where they're flapping on both ends my brother Keith Wayne's got another 100 200 wipes lifting that mess up a windshield know what I'm talking see don't people do it again and again they they they cost their self money by not doing little stuff alone and see that's a fool trying to save money spend all kind of money because you didn't do stuff you should've done and it's being led by money not by the spirit right everybody say waste fools waste you say but wise people they don't waste anything go to John 6 where are you right now that's a good place go to go to John 6 though you've already read that set out loud no more poverty spirit I'm not planning to be poor I have discernment I know the difference what's valuable and what's junk I know the difference what to keep what to throw away I have discernment I have wisdom I have understanding I'm not a fool they men right in John chapter 6 now this is the story of the feeding of the multitude you remember that and then a great miracle happened out of five loaves and two little fish thousands of people fed and got full and had plenty verse 11 John 6 11 Jesus took the loaves when he gave thanks he distributed to the disciples and disciples to them that were sit down and the fishes as much as they would and when they were filled when they were filled he said to his disciples what gather up the fragments that remained that what that nothing be lost therefore they gathered them together and filled twelve baskets well you know most of the people probably would not have thought there was that much there because all they're seeing is a peace and a peace and this and that but all together is twelve baskets well that's enough to feed a lot of other people some people have talked about it being the harvest of the little boy that sowed his seed he could have took back home to his folks could it be it was his seed he sowed it but anyway I doubt seriously that that hardly anybody there would have thought that was that much there that much there but he said gather it together that nothing everybody said out loud nothing be lost that nothing be lost and another translation says that so that nothing may be lost and wasted the amplified says nassif foolish people waste and and when God is doing something for you and he works miracles see if you read the rest of the you read the rest of this chapter you'll find that when Jesus left that whole crowd tried to follow him and finally caught up with him I mean they they they every stopped everything they were doing they they didn't go to work they didn't go home they didn't do any cleaning they all just followed him around they had they knew the miracle that happened and they knew they had all eaten from where and so he told him we begin to talk to him he said you're out here because you ate and were filled and see they got it in their mind we're done working if you read the whole chapter you'll get that yeah they they're thinking well we just go follow him around from now I will never have to plant and we'll never have to reap and we'll never have to invest and we'll never have to cook and we'll never have to clean would you see if somebody's got lots around here and so you might think if you've got this kind of miracles and power working in your life why would you pick up the fragments we'll just believe for another miracle tomorrow do you see that that's we're full Commissioner no the wise person follows the leadings of the Lord now let's talk about some of our resources a fool wastes time that's probably your most precious resource time everything you're doing you need to stop and ask yourself is this a waste of my time maybe you think you like to do it but is it wasting your life yeah all the time you need to look at it everywhere your Energy's going every morning when you get up you have a limited amount of spiritual mental and physical strength you cannot just go day and night non-stop there's gonna come a point pretty soon you got a rest you need to rest your mind you need to rest your body you need to rest your spirit just like you have a limited quantity of money in hand you got a limited quantity of energy strength mental ability patience strengthen area for the day now fools waste it on something that is worthless maybe it's a goofy game maybe it's some hobby that you know frustrates you and it happens all the time somebody messes with something for six hours and they've used up all their patience and here one of their kids come and need something and they bark at them why because they're out of patience they used it all up on this dumb thing here that's a fool wasting it on something that's not going to mean a thing that will help you you know I help you and me all the time if we just say okay a hundred years from now what I'm doing right now will it matter and when when you really begin to look at stuff you said that you the the writer of the Clea cleans estis that's what he's talking about the more of the more wisdom he got and the more he looked his stuff he said that's vanity that's vanity that's a waste that's a waste of time right the wiser you get the more stuff you realize I don't need to do that I don't need to do this go to Ecclesiastes let's read please ask these one now I got some other things to get to but uh I can only get to them if you can take you so try to stay hooked Ecclesiastes 1 the words of the preacher the son of David King in Jerusalem how's he start out vanity of vanities says the preacher vanity of vanities he says it again then he says all is vanity a lot of people don't even read this because they think that's just depressing Rob people even read this cuz they fake it I don't understand that as this depresses me vanity of vanities what could it be you don't understand what he say it because I do not believe we have any worthless books in the Bible and God we already talked about it we've studied it God put into this man wisdom and understanding the Bible says and largeness of heart with understanding like the sand on the seashore God God put wisdom into this man he saw some things he understood some things and after much experience and much searching with God and inside himself he writes about it and that's how he kicks it off do you see the theme of the message tonight the wiser you get and the more understanding you get what do you learn you learn about a lot of stuff is what a waste of time don't you a waste of motion a waste of my energy a waste of my time I know when I first started working with brother Hagin who man I can't came to know some laughter to some 20 years walked in a lot of wisdom and I did not understand in the beginning some of the things he did in fact it troubled me it's my job to accompany him and I sang for him and I drove his car did all kind of stuff I was with him a lot so going in and out and coming out of places there were times I saw people come up to him to talk to him and I mean just you know they're they're trying to talk to him and he just walked off like they weren't even there yeah I didn't say hi didn't say bye just like they weren't there and the first few times that happened I thought brother Hagin these people tried to talk to you because I didn't say that wasn't my place least I had that much wisdom but I sure thought it I thought now that's yet that's just rude and the more I got to know him I realized what a man of love he is and compassion and yet I'd see him do it again so much following him trying to talk to him he walked off like they were not there well five years past ten years past fifteen years past and one day I was I was walking down the hall two different things I'll tell you by walking down the hall and the fella he caught me on the side he said brother Keith I won't ask you to forgive me I said for what he said got mad at you when I was in school I said you did he said yeah and I was mad at you for a long time he said but I'm over dough and I said what why he said well one day I met you in the hall and I spoke to you you did he managed for me I said I didn't know it I was focused on my next class I was concentrating on what I was about to speak it I have no awareness of what he was talking about but not another time in that a person that was helping me came and said brother Keith that person you just you ignored them now this one I knew about I said yeah this is why I said well I don't have to explain myself to you I said but uh let me tell you something I said this person I knew by the time they walked up there full of pride they don't want to learn anything Spirit of God showed me they want to waste my time for two hours telling me how great they are what all they know what they've seen and done I said what you don't know there's another man waiting in this room over here and I can help him and he's waiting on me now see when you're young and inexperienced you don't know any of that and you just go by outward appearance and think you have to do everything anybody ask you to I tried that for years but you know run myself down but the more you learn and the more wisdom that grows in you you realize so much talking that people do is a waste of time and wears you out now you know we had a few people around here with not so much lately but when we first got started they kind of got aggravated at me because I wouldn't spend half a day with them but these people have no concept of what we do you understand try speaking ten times a week covering four states dealing with financials answering a thousand questions hmm and see if you want to sit down and chat about nothing for a day or if you'd rather take a nap or if you and do like after I have wasted countless hours talking to people who didn't want to be helped did you hear me they just want to talk to hear their own voice and I'd be foolish to let foot waste my time like that and and cause me to come in tired and wore out for you tonight did you hear me cuz see you only got a limited amount of energy you spending on one thing you not gonna have it for something else and I'm just I'm not saying that for my benefit I'm saying it for your benefit you're supposed to operate this way and not everybody will understand because there's still a lot of foolish people around and there's so much they don't know you don't have to be moon mean and rude and hard I'm not saying that but you must learn what is valuable and what is a waste right and just because somebody calls you on the phone that does not mean you sit there for three hours while they dump trash in your ear it wears you out well I don't want them to think I'm rude will then be led by them instead of the Holy Ghost let yourself be watch it because see the enemy chose this and he will set you up with stuff to waste your day and if you just go along with everything and everybody that comes along and all I want to talk about and all they want to do you will stay worn out and when stuff comes up you're supposed to do you won't be ready life is short time is short right you are one person with limited resources you know every day you only got so much so you should be led by the spirit of wisdom as to who I spend time with what we do what we talk about every conversation should have a purpose everywhere you go should be a reason did you hear me how many times people have been hurt and maimed and killed because they were somewhere they had no business being if they'd have been led that had been at home taking a nap but somebody had a wild idea wanting to do something and they didn't want to be rude and they wanted to be social they didn't want them to think they didn't like them so they're being led by that person's insecurities instead of the Holy Ghost you've done it I've done it but I've about quit and getting better every day right because I'm not gonna stand before you on the judgement day of seat of Christ right I'm not gonna stand before you or anybody's I'm gonna stand before him I don't have to give an account to you every word I say it what I do with my time I do to him you do too right and I do not the longer I live and the more I understand I did I detest wasting time I mean there's just a few more breaths you're not gonna be out of here right we do not have days to waste on nothing stuff I don't want to waste an hour I don't want to waste a dollar I don't want to waste one moment of effort of my faith or my time or my thoughts right on something that is for nothing and we got the Holy Ghost in us and if we learn to follow him and listen to him everything we do can count right every conversation we cannot we can be at the right place at the right time with the right thing to say right and not waste anything gather up the fragments redeem the time right and if you do if we are doing this we will have plenty of every if we're not wasting any time you'll have plenty of time to do what you should do if you're not wasting money you'll have plenty of money if you're not wasting your energies and your patience on unnecessary stuff you'll have all the patience you need to deal with the right things and faith and strength can you see this the wise man wise woman waste nothing is so efficient right everybody say efficient you know Phyllis Saturday I just doing some other things for the while in the morning and then I saw her and she had completely reorganized her closet said well what you doing in here she said this will help me get get ready quicker got everything where it's supposed to be and you know I don't know I'm not having to look for it or hump see people think well why would why straighten it because I want straight an empty garage just so you can say I'm neat no it's wise you don't you know you don't waste time looking for stuff you ever wasted any time looking for stuff and it's when you least can afford it I mean you need it you got something else to do and now you got to you take an hour and try to find it I've been with guys before working on cars no cousins cousins of mine were drag racers and we were working building the motor one timing and we got to a certain place and we needed a specific tool and he said yeah I got I got two of those and we went to the place where they were and I'm telling you to like a tornado hit that place we look for two hours and he said all come on get in the car we go by one he had three of them I think in there and we had to go buy one one cuz it just take too long to fight well that's being foolish I said that's being foolish because you know if everything a wise man wise woman owes us everything should have its own place you know piloting you learn you should be efficient in the cockpit and I just flew out you know to Atlanta this week and they charged me five dollars and forty-five cents a gallon for fuel you thought the car was bad well I don't like wasting stuff wasting money and I've learned you know you don't just get out there and start your engines and so then you talk on the radio and you get your clearance and you talk to your passengers you know well man I mean it's just burning that money just burning that money so I took a week on my checklist and I tweaked it and I tweaked it and I did this and I did one because I get everything lined up so that when I push that button I'm ready to go matter what I'm talking about I'll go ahead get I get my clearance I get them all my radios loaded to get all my stuff done when I push that button I'm ready to get out of here and every area of our life should and if we do that what are we doing we're redeeming time we're buying time back into our life we've been traveling for years and we've learned we're learning how to do it you know how to pack and and where to put stuff and and don't need handling it five times when you can handle it three right get everything lined out and ready and that's what we've been talking about excellence and being able to represent the Lord the best and the Lord has answered our prayers and he's been teaching us for weeks now right on the wisdom of God and and you your testimony your witness is tied up with this when people come to where you work they should see your tools laid out just the right way they should see the process and the way you do something junkie piled up and a mess and sloppy is not godly look at the universe stars are not piled on top of each other they're not bumping into each other right there is some order to this thing don't feel bad now I got room to growing this myself everybody does I got a number things could be tighter and sharper and better but let's do it right why so we're we're redeeming time saving our energy saving our resources right operating in the wisdom of God thank you lord thank you lord let's just praise them a little bit Lord we thank you O we praise you we bless you how good you are to teach us to put wisdom in us discretion discernment understanding thank you thank you thank you thank you glory to God thank you lord thank you lord thank you lord thank you lord turn to to new testament scriptures on this that i think we can we can finish up if we had time and we're so led it cleese ask these is a wonderful study on this in fact i'm lou I'm moving a little bit too fast just let me talk you through some of it and then we'll read the punchline when he says vanity of vanities vanity of vanities all is vanity look at the net very next verse this qualifies at verse 3 what prophet what good is it has a man of all his labor which he has taken here's the phrase what Under the Sun and he goes through and he talks about all the stuff he did and all the stuff he built and all the stuff he accumulated and how he didn't know who he's gonna leave it to a fool or a wise man and how he's not he can't stay he's gonna die and all the natural stuff he was doing he'd stop and go well where is it going how am I going to end up I can't take it with me what's gonna happen after that wisdoms always looking at the end result and that's what he kept saying it's vanity it's vanity and if all you live for is to make money you gonna have to come to that conclusion at some point it's vanity if all you live far is to clean your house you have to come to the conclusion it's gonna get dirty again and again and again right if all you live for is for how beautiful you are scripture said beauty is vain what does that mean one translation said it's a breath right you got to come to that conclusion you're not gonna be 22 forever right you got to come to that conclusion well I live for my cars well I live for my you know to play golf well I live to you know well you do it so many times and you'll come to the conclusion it ain't God it won't save you when he make you happy that's what he did it chapter after chapter that I'm just summarizing he he talked about this and he'd say vanity and he get looking at history mighty he said more vanity vexation of spirit he said you make all this money and he said there's more people to pay bills too he kept looking at not just the start but the end of the thing and said if I do that well eventually it's gonna wind up over here and and this vexation of spirit and vanity what good is it and that's what people some people on the earth they get to thinking like that want to commit suicide what good is it that's what people get to living on the street lifetime they know why get them go to work anymore I'll make money the government's gonna get it I'm just getting older while I work I'm just working for somebody else so they can make money and give me a sleeping bag go downtown what vanity of vanities all is vanity well I mess with it I'll tell you why because this is not all there is Under the Sun is not all there is there is a God there is a heaven and a hell there is a kingdom of God there is a future Oh glory to God and when you learn that and you know that then you can quit wasting your days you can quit wasting your time and your money and your thoughts and your energy and you can become Kingdom minded and everything you do takes on a higher purpose and it's not waste I said it's not waste it's not waste and then vacuuming the carpet in here is not just vacuuming let's go get dirty again yeah but you do it for the kingdom of God that makes it eternal we just pay the electric bill well that's pay it again next but yeah but we had services in the word was preach to people get saved it's it's eternal it's eternal it wasn't a waste I said it wasn't a waste you remember when the lady came and dumped the perfume on Jesus feet you remember that she came $20,000 worth of perfume and poop dumped it on Jesus and his his own disciples his own staff like what a waste what a waste was it a waste what'd he tell her if he's the way some people think he is then he just lit up and said well man I've been teaching you don't you know better than this you could have sold this and and giving it to the poor you could have sold this and now who said dad Judas is scarier see what bad company some of these people are in they talk like that What did he say you leave her alone she has done a good this was not a waste it looked like it to the outward eye but he said this is not a waste in fact I'm gonna see to it that everywhere this gospel is preached what this woman has done is told and we're talking about it in two thousand five right here in Branson tonight and he said you you give somebody a cup of cold water in my name because they are mine he said there's no way you're gonna lose that reward it was not a waste how can you see this friends how important this is that when we become King demanded everything with I mean putting your socks on he's not a least write me combing my hair you brushing your teeth and coming here tonight need something it was not a waste every gallon the gas we burn ever a lot of electricity we burn not a waste not a waste we expend money on this like water we can't waste
