Keith Moore The Wisdom of God Pt 6 Walking With The Wise

well we appreciate our singers and players don't they do a good job I think they've been practicing most of the day working on man they they got their faith home being more powerful and sharper you better watch out you know they come in here you know next thing you know and open up on a song and boy he'll be blowing your hair back so somebody said bring it on you know it's wonderful the tools we have now with the internet and the TV and there are different directions where by the anointing carries more into these mediums and we're believing for that would you believe with me that every part of the service now we are we're not gonna change and become outside building minded for the service and that we're trying to put on a show for somebody that's that's not gonna happen that's not the purpose of this we're inviting people in right from all over the world and though besides that though there is wisdom and grace the Lord is tweaking this and he's going to tweak us so the anointing comes stronger and stronger and stronger through the camera and through the TV and and through the internet right that the anointing will just come right in come right into people's rooms right into their offices and their bedrooms and then they'll think they're sitting here right and even you could be stronger than for some people sitting here depends on what's going on in their life so that's what we're believing for and there is no distance in the spirit time doesn't matter God is everywhere and he can manifest anywhere when people believe him would you turn with me to proverbs this evening book of Proverbs we begin a few weeks ago on a new series on our Friday nights that we're calling the wisdom of God the wisdom of God if you turn to proverbs 4 we're going to read our text again and Usher's would you take the island if you didn't bring a Bible tonight raise your hand our ushers will let you use one of ours maybe you got three or four at home but you didn't bring one raise your hand use one of our Bibles make an effort take the time turn and find the scripture let it let your eyes rest on it let it get in you and let's believe tonight that the Lord speaks to us specifically powerfully you know if I just have my eyes on you then all I'll get is you if all you've got is your eyes on me then all you get or is me hmm and that just ain't enough all right but if I look to him and if you look to him you know and I see you but I'm looking to him you see me but you're looking to him and you're hearing what I'm saying but more importantly you're listening with your heart to what God is saying to you revelation will come answers will come direction will come how many believe the Lord could speak to you tonight speak to you specifically right and give you answers and give you direction so let's pray that way right now father God I I do we lift up our hearts and our voices to you in this prayer and we say our eyes are on you you are our God you are our teacher

forgetful hearers by your grace we are and will be doers and we know as we do we will be blessed because you're so faithful to watch over your word and perform it in our lives in Jesus name Amen praise God hallelujah gonna believe with me tonight now it's not just all up to me and this is not just for the people in the room now you've got to be believing with us too watching my internet and TV you're believing because utterance affects you God will tailor some things just for you proverbs the four fourth chapter is our main text for our study now on the wisdom of God proverbs 4 he begins in the first verse saying here you children the instruction of a father I tend to no understanding let me tell you something that'll help you in reading this don't just think natural father and son that is an application but the greater application is the father God and you he like you as your father is telling you and me to know understanding he said I give you a good doctrine for sake you not my law I was my father's son tender and only beloved in the side of my mother he talked me also and he said to me let your heart retain my words keep my Commandments and live get wisdom everybody said out loud then he said get understanding do what get it what about wisdom get it what about understanding get it who's the understood subject you get it right need forget it not neither decline from the words of my mouth forsake her not and she shall preserve you what will preserve you wisdom love her and she shall keep you what will keep you wisdom God's wisdom wisdom is the principal thing therefore what get wisdom and with all your getting get understanding can you see a recurring theme here what is it get it get it that sounds like something that we have a responsibility to do we must not just float through and think and then hope it'll fall on us and hope God will notice us and just you know have pity on us and give us some wisdom sometime we must be hungry for it and we must reach for it right now if you if you were here previously we've already gone into some detail about how we get wisdom how we get more wisdom how we develop in wisdom and one of the big things was you must hunger for it we read in passages where it said wisdom is crying crying out loud saying come here now for lack of better word dummy come here let's miss it dump yeah it said simpleton you simple ones come here why I got something for you ain't got a bump along for the rest of your life being dumb and clueless come here right the Bible said wisdom is crying and saying come here come come get what I got for you and then we read later then it said you must lift up your voice and you must cry after wisdom he can't be passive and it can't be a slight thing to you you must hunger and desire say it out loud our hunger for wisdom now I don't know if you realize it but that is one of the big problems I'm I can go over this in three minutes but the truth is most of the body of Christ really doesn't care that's the reality it would fall on them yeah then you know how to stop and say that because it's easy to just preach and make a point and keep going but what good does that do if we're not doers if you want wisdom if you want to grow in wisdom what must you do you must hunger and desire it so your spirit must cry out for it and it must become something that you must have you are unwilling to go through a day without the wisdom of God and every time something comes up and you have to make decisions and you have to choose between this and that and you have to say do I do it do I not you do not just rely on what's in your head but you look to the greater one you say Lord there's wisdom for me for this thing and I'm crying that far right now I gotta have it let me let me have it I'm getting my wisdom I'm here to get it right are we charged to get wisdom and get understanding it's our responsibility what if we don't have it well it's not God's fault he's provided it it's available and he's told us to get it how many know he wouldn't tell you to get it unless it was there to be God he wouldn't tell you to get it and you run up and say I'm here to get it and he's not in here ain't none here of course not if he said get it if mama rings about it come and get it that means something's on the table right and when he says come get it that means wisdom is their understanding is there the plan of God the revelation is there you can get it I can get it every day get wisdom get understanding let me give you some definitions we'll review a little bit for those that haven't been with us what is wisdom well let's look at the contrast what is being a fool what is being foolish well the word translated fool and foolishness is the word we get our word from and it literally means dull heedless simpleton dull and heedless well you know we laugh about it but it basically means you are unaware you just blare on through life and you don't know what's going on and why it happened or where you came from or where you're going you just don't know fools are continuously surprised they're like wow I didn't know that's gonna happen if I had I wouldn't have done that wow I didn't know that I didn't know that what's going to have my witness said that oh oh wow fools are unaware and they find out about everything after the fact so by contrast what's wisdom well the word wisdom the word for wisdom literally means skillful skillful and it has to do with being skillful with what you are aware of we said knowledge is not wisdom and this is something that our modern our modern educational system has really kind of skewed people are you know they they make much of knowledge and don't say enough about wisdom you can be a walking encyclopedia and be a fool having a lot of knowledge does not make you wise are you with me you can know all kind of stuff you can be able to spout all kind of facts and figures and info and that does not make you wise at all in fact I've done a little study along this line and it's something about how many so-called geniuses commit suicide and so well they just had too much smarts in their head they were just too wise for their own good no they weren't wise at all because when the biggest fools on the planet is like the psalmist says the fool that says in their heart there is no God when the Bible says the knowledge and the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and knowledge of the holy is understanding so you don't even get started in real knowledge and understanding and wisdom till you believe in God until you respect God right so wisdom is being skillful you know in handling what you know and what you understand knowing what to do with what you know listen to these scriptures the Bible said in first Kings talking to an individual says you are a wise man and you know what you ought to do that was first Kings 2:9 you're a wise man and you know what you ought to do it Cleese st is 8/5 it Cleese st's 8/5 says a wise man's heart discerns both time and judgment a wise heart knows the proper time and procedure amplified says a wise man knows when and what to do it's not just knowing stuff but it's knowing how to use what you know right it's not just understanding but it's having the grace of God to know when to talk and when not to when to act on what you know and when to wait right how to do it how much of it now so many problems our self inflicted right just you know sometimes you can be right about what you're thinking but your application of it is so totally wrong and your timing is so off right no wisdom about when and what to do with what you know are you hungry to have more of the wisdom of God in all of your dealings to know what to say when how to say it how far to go with it and win stop and when to pick it up start again right when to pick up the phone and call when you've said enough when you need to keep going how would you know all these things there's only one way by the spirit of wisdom who lives inside you can you say man but we have to look to him and appropriate or access or get this wisdom all through our day and night when we need it now let me review a little bit further we talked about we asked the question what is wisdom we've already reviewed that some we talked about her wisdom begins we talked about wisdom and understanding we talked about being teachable do you remember that that the wise men a woman is teachable correctable a fool despises instruction you can't tell them anything much less correct them or rebuke them they won't receive it but a wise person will love somebody who rebukes them in the right way hmm a wise person sees the value of instruction and always wants more a wise person sees the value of correction and even a rebuke and says thank you for pointing that out to me if you hadn't have said that I don't know how long now to go on they can wrong and is there anybody here or anywhere else who never needs to be corrected that was a little weak is there anybody in this building who's all already knows everything they need to know about everything and is right about everything they have to deal with and never needs to be corrected no so then why should it be such a shock if you get corrected I want you to be such a negative it oh I got corrected today they rebuked me well how long has it been since your last rebuke oh I don't know I use five years and you doing wonderful mr. people don't think like that do they oh boy see correction is not a popular thing fools despise correction and you're not a fool are you I'm not a fool so we appreciate correction we value instruction say it out loud Lord what I don't see show me please what I've not understood reveal to me please what I'm wrong about correct me please I'll receive it I'll value it thank you for it amen man you got to be able to receive it through whomever he would use you can't be too picky I mean I'm a fella that's starving for water right needs water I mean he's dry somebody comes and hands him a big cup he looks something goes no I want the water bad but I don't drink from fat cups now I'll lead the water bad but I don't drink from white cups oh you're all quite he's got asleep oh I need the water bad but I don't drink from uneducated cups I need the water bad but I don't drink from rich cups hey you better forget the cup and get the water right you say it thank you for using any card right and get me what I need and give God the praise and give him the glory and receive it gladly thankfully so go ahead and say that out loud by faith I'll receive through whom ever anyone you choose alright be ready be on the watch and it's a good thing it's a positive thing well let's let's go on go with me to job the 28th chapter this is such a huge great subject we're believing the Lord to just focus on the points we should tonight I want to go a little bit further about where wisdom comes from in job can any good thing come out of job well there's all kind of wonderful things in job but you know if you don't look for it you won't see it if you read job and all you look far as pain and suffering and it's not God's will to heal me then that's all you'll have eyes to see and it's not there but you can try to make it up but you know if you if you look for healing you can find it in almost every chapter of the Bible if you look for prosperity you can find it all over the place you look for deliverance look for victory some people read the scripture and ignore the blessings and just look for the whoa-whoa under thee don't be so selective in receiving look for the good God's a good God in job 28 he's describing the wisdom of God job 28 let's begin about verse 12 he says where shall wisdom be found working with finded and where this is job 28 12 where is the place of understanding man knows not the price thereof neither is it found in the land of the living that you stop right there is there anywhere on the planet where you can go and get wisdom from a natural source is there any university no wisdom is not found in the land of the living the depth says it's not in me the sea says it's not with me it cannot be gotten for gold neither can silver be weighed for the price thereof it cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir and with the precious Onyx of a sapphire the gold and the crystal cannot equal it and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold no mention will be made of coral or pearls for the price of wisdom is above rubies the topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it neither shall it be valued with pure gold one aspect of wisdom is understand well I shouldn't say that understanding has to do with knowing what is valuable and what is not and then wisdom is properly using that understanding but is wisdom valuable oh it's so valuable it's it's worth more than any amount of money keep reading verse 20 whence then comes wisdom I mean if you can't there's no amount of money that by if there's nowhere on earth for you and go pick it up where can you get it and where is the place of understanding seeing it's hid from the eyes of all living and kept closed from the file of the air destruction and death sight we've heard of the fame thereof with our ears but you can't find it in death our destruction God understands the way thereof and he knows the place thereof we ought to already be happy because we know God and he knows where it said right so if you know somebody who knows where it's at you can get something you don't know but he knows he knows where it said he looks to the ends of the earth and sea's under the whole heaven to make the wait for the winds and he ways the waters by measure now here we begin to see the Bible tells us that God created everything that he did by his knowledge and by his understanding and by his wisdom it's how he laid the foundations of the earth it's how he kept the oceans from washing over the land that's why they stay at the shoreline it's why the vapors arise and the cycles of the clouds and the rain and all those things it's because he did it with his understanding now that this is so significant because as our understanding increases we're going to be able to do some stuff we never thought we would do and let you storm out in this life but in the next and it's not just going to come from osmosis automatically or just sitting on a cloud playing a heart but we're gonna be learning oh come on now we're going to be learning and we're going to be increasing in knowledge of the holy which is understanding you know people talk about evolution evolving mr.brother ki don't you believe in evolution no I do not I believe in devolution what do you mean devolvement don't you believe by the key that man has evolved you know from the GU to the zoo to you no I do not then we ran around with clubs and grunted at each other no I do not there's a reason why these missing links are missing it's amazing people forget about the theory theory theory of evolution you know what a theory is brother Hagin used to always give his definition of a theory I'll give it to no he said a theory is a supposition based upon ignorance of the subject under discussion if you knew it wouldn't be a theory it's a theory it ain't a fact it's taught as a fact but it's not somebody said don't looking you mean you don't believe in evolution no I do not man has not developed and evolved to where he is now man has fallen and devolved to where he is now Adam God didn't make Adam and Eve grunting cavemen and women Adam is called the son of God God came down in the cool of the day and communed with them and they communed with him on his level all we we we don't really have a clue Adam and Eve was sit out there in the garden in the cool of the day and watch the sunset and Adam and say god how'd you do that and he'd explain it to them and they understood it oh come on come on they understood it like yeah don't you remember God brought all the animals to Adam and he said hug Adam what is this Oh preposterous Adam had such insight and understanding into the creation of God that he had the wisdom to call this creature what it should be called he didn't just name them tabby and Buffy and no he named them what they were and it perfectly described them he looked and he said he's not just looking and go oh it has spots he sees how God constructed the sinew and the skeletal structure and the way the eyes work and the way the Tufts of hair pick up the sound and the way the nostrils move and he said giraffe giraffe God said that's good that's good that's exactly what he is giraffe let's get another one do you understand man has devolved to the place where they grunt and live knack like animals today well it's not gonna stay that way God is going to restore there's going to be new heavens and new earth right we've been Tom Idol Sunday the kingdom of God is going to be established and you and I are gonna do what we go rule and reign how many Oh God is not training a bunch of dummies and fools to rule and reign with him in the kingdom in which there is no end this is faith school we're being trained this is one of the briefest things we'll ever do this life is one of the briefest things will ever do and we're being trained were being taught to develop in the knowledge of God the understanding of God the wisdom of God skip on down you're there in the 28th chapter he talks about how God made wait for the winds he has laid the winds and he's weighed the waters God knows to the ounce what the Atlantic Ocean weighs why because he understands he made a decree for the rain a way for the lightening of the Thunder we hadn't even figured out how to catch one yet if you could catch a lightening boat you could power a city for months we haven't been able to build anything that would hold one just one he saw it he declared it he prepared it yeah and he searched it out and to man he said behold the fear of the Lord that is wisdom well did you get this now people looking for wisdom trying to find it ain't enough money to buy it how do you get it the fear the reverence the honor the worship the respect of the Lord that is wisdom you're already started down the road when you Revere God you worship God you honor God and to depart from evil is understanding run away from sin run away from disobedience run away from rebellion that shows you have some understanding can you say Amen now let's keep going we talked about in order to get more wisdom we must desire wisdom here it says wisdoms not found in the earth but God gives wisdom listen to job 38 what 36 well you're closer than this turn over there if you want to 38 36 says it like this he says tell my god well the look the Lord was asking job some questions and he started out by saying who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge you're talking but you don't know what you're talking about so he started asking him some questions let's just read some of them 38 3 gird up your loins like a man for our demand of you and answer thou me now you had to read the things that went before to understand this because job had gotten out of line job railed against God and he questioned God's fairness and injustice and he said I wish God would answer me well he did and he showed up and he and instead of saying okay job I know you have some questions and I'm here to answer your questions no no that's not how he works it's not I'm gonna explain it to you so you can understand and then you're gonna believe me absolutely no never no you trust him and you honor him when you don't have a clue so mister well if God had made me understand it they're not trust him that's absolutely faithless anybody do that you gotta trust him when you don't know it's not you know people tell my seeing is believing there never was anything any more backwards no you believe then you see now here he said he said where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth I don't remember seeing you he said where he said on what are the foundations fastened what did I fasten the foundations of the earth - and who laid the cornerstone when the morning stars sang together did you know the stars sang glory who shut up the sea with doors and when it broke forth as if it issued out of the womb I mean he goes on and on and on and what he's saying to him is you don't have a clue how I did any of this and yet you think you can stand and tell me I'm unjust I'm unfair you have enough understanding to question my justice oh yeah he said you don't understand you don't understand creation 101 you don't understand the basics of what I've done from the beginning and you're gonna question me on these biggest issues and accused me of being unfair no you don't have to understand to believe he said verse 36 who has put wisdom in the in the what verse 36 who has put wisdom in the inward parts or who has given understanding to the heart where does wisdom come from it comes from God it's initiated by the respect and reverence and fear of God and it doesn't come just into your mind it comes into your inward parts it comes into your heart wisdom is not mental you can't read enough books to get wisdom wisdom is the gift of God it's the grace of God and through wisdom you know what to do without figuring it out you just know what to do you know what ought to be done and high it ought to be done and when say thank God for wisdom God puts it in your insides in your heart in your inward parts let me read from another place Psalm 51 says in the hidden part you make me to know wisdom to my Solomon in first Kings 10 it says all the earth salt to Solomon to hear his wisdom that God had put in his heart how did wisdom get any God put it in him what part of his being did he put it in not his head his heart it's not tell about your blood pump now you don't believe God with your blood pump any more than you believe God with a kidney or along anybody know what the heart of a watermelon is that's part I always eat first what's the heart of a Pinetree the heart of an oak it's not a blood pump what is it it's the core it's a sinner most part of it that's what this is telling about the core of your being your heart you're not just a body and a mind your spirit you have a soul right and God puts this wisdom as a gift from him and grace from him in your insides would you like to have more manifestation of it well we can I said we can and we'll go ahead and say by faith we will now go with me since we touched on this go with me to second chronicles 2nd chronicles and the first chapter there's a man we just saw referred to by the name of Solomon and everybody knows Solomon was wise right how did he get so wise well he went to school a lot huh nothing wrong with education now I'm not saying that but you can go to school all your life and be a fool is that right how did he get to be so wise will he read a lot of books hmm let's go back and reread mind ourselves of when it happened and how it happened that he became so wise second chronicles the first chapter are you there second chronicles chapter 1 and verse 10 where let me back up to verse 7 in the night God appeared to Solomon and said ask what I shall give you Solomon said to God you've showed great mercy to David my father and have made me to reign in his stead now O Lord God let your promise unto David my father be established for you've made me king over a people like the dust of the earth and multitude give me now wisdom and knowledge that I may go out and come in before this people say that gives you insight into what it is doesn't it so I'll know how to conduct myself and I'll know how to lead this people for who can judge this the people that he's so great did he value wisdom did he do all the things I mean God shows up in your bedroom right and says ask anything you want what do you want this is what was the strongest thing on his heart God I got to have wisdom to know how to lead this people wouldn't it be a different earth if every Prime Minister and every King and every president that was the strongest thing on their heart and mind God give me wisdom to know how to and that's why we pray for our president regularly right for wisdom so God said to Solomon because this was in your heart and you didn't ask for riches or wealth or honour or life of your enemies our long life for yourself but you asked for wisdom and knowledge for yourself so you can judge my people over whom I've made you King wisdom and knowledge is granted to you it's a grant it's a divine grant not something yearned not something you bought not something you deserved it's a grant from God I end I will give you riches and wealth and honor now if you read proverbs you will I Solomon didn't know it he found out later that when you get wisdom you get the other riches come with wisdom he said such as none of the kings have had that have ever been before you neither shall there any after you have the like my mama if you read the rest of it do you know he got richer and richer and richer and stronger and stronger does riches go with wisdom and honor and even talked to him later about long life and if you read proverbs and I trust that you you would go ahead and read proverbs some while we're studying about this you'll see long life you'll see peace you'll see rest right you'll see promotion and honor and you'll see wealth directly connected with wisdom in fact he told us desire that more than the money desire that more than there's the success and external why cuz you get that you're going to get the other the success the wealth there's a product one of the benefits of walking in the wisdom of God now notice something else though keep reading here you're in the first chapter the Bible said when God did this I'm gonna just read some scriptures don't try to turn there right now but in first Kings it said Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom and all the earth salt to Solomon to hear his wisdom which God had put in his heart all the earth salt to get to him and to hear it now hold your place here and go back to proverbs we're going to see a principle that is really what I was endeavoring to get to hold your place there in the second Chronicles and go back go over to proverbs the 13th chapter how do I become wiser well we've already talked about it you must be hungry for you must desire it you must ask for it you must be teachable correctable right last week we talked about you got to watch your words right here's something else how will I become wiser proverbs 13 and 20 he that walks with wise men shall be wise but a companion of fools will happen with them shall be destroyed does it make any difference who you hang with who you run with wow it's hard to overestimate it let me read another translation to you the English version says keep company with the wise and you will become wise if you make friends with stupid people you'll be ruined that's the English version the amplified says he who walks with wise men is wise and he who associates with fools will smart for it the NIV says he who walks with the wise grows wise you know what we're talking about increasing in wisdom becoming wiser here's that here's a truth here's a pillar of truth how you gonna get wiser associate with right fellowship with wise people wise people now this is also mentioned in the New Testament in 1st Corinthians 15 you don't have to turn there but just listen to it first Corinthians Corinthians 15:33 says evil communications corrupt good manners now that's real King James II but listen to the living on it it says don't be fooled if you listen to them you'll start acting like them don't be deceived amplified says evil companionship evil Communion and associations corrupt and deprave good manners morals and character if you hang around evil people you will become more evil was it oh not me not me it won't happen to me are you saying the words wrong if you hang around foolish people and that's mostly what you fellowship with this foolishness then what will happen to you you will increasingly become duller and more unaware and more foolish and the thing is sometimes these things happen gradually so that you don't see it but some other hasn't seen you for a while would notice the difference so they used to be smarter than that these two not act like that well it's the folk that run with so we should be greatly interested in hanging with wise people can it rub off on you how about people that have faith can it rub off on you certainly you sit in a room where everybody's talking doom and gloom and they're talking fear and doubt and unbelief for eight hours straight it's gonna wear on you I didn't say you had to yield and join in but as the hours go by because see that's that's the way your flesh wants to go anyway have you noticed it your flesh wants to talk gossip and your flesh wants to talk negative that's the that's the flow of this whole world and you have to you have to bite your tongue and you have to put your flesh under and your feelings under and remind yourself of the word to always talk faith and always talk victory and it's easier when the people around you're doing the same thing oh it is it is I had the privilege of working in the healing school Healing Center at Kenneth Hagin ministries for a number of years and we had people come in from all over the country and other other countries that were pronounced incurable and some of these five I was there for years and so I saw it again and again some of these people I'm telling you they look so bad you could hear them breathe all over the room some of them hooked up to machines and if they didn't just fell out the chair and died right there people wouldn't have been surprised because that's how they looked but I've seen two hours of the word in the morning two hours the word in the afternoon and the same thing tomorrow and they saw I've seen people like a like a bloom or a blossom in the sunshine just begin to sit up and straighten up and their breathing sounds better and they've been made by the end of the week B 70% 80% 90% better in a week's time I've seen it again and again and again but then some of these same people we break for the weekend and you come back Monday and they look almost like they did the Monday before and this happened so many times nothing what is going on and the Lord spoke to my heart one time in a time of prayer he said say so father with you they've got their mind on me but they go back into these unbelieving environments and their families you know maybe they love them but they just don't know they're ignorant of these things and they cry over them and ask them a 500 how do you feel they don't give me that faith stuff tell me how you really feel and you have to be super strong in an environment like that not to be sucked back in and pulled back into just walking beside and just defeatist thinking so thank God for a company of believers thank God for a faith family Oh hallelujah we come in here and provoke one another and say yeah we're gonna do it yeah God's Word is true we're gonna live and not die ever be able to be paid and to have faith buddies that you can talk to during the week and not going to tell you all their sob story and feel sorry for me for three hours little talk faith oh thank God for people that will talk faith they're not everywhere even churchgoers oh but I'm believing at this bunch it's a faith Bunch and we're just going to get stronger and stronger and stronger and people who come in and come around us and want to talk on belief will just be disappointed because we just won't cooperate with them and we just won't agree with them that it's terrible and impossible and can't be done we'll just look at them and go hmm all things are possible to him that believes nothing is too hard for the Lord right and not just say it but believe it and say it that night is said the next day and never change can you say Amen well by the same token whatever you hang around is going to influence you whatever you now the Lord prompted me about this this this afternoon we know that physically you have fools all the time you gonna start acting foolish yourself you fellowship with lies people all the time the scripture said right here you will grow wiser you will become wise and wiser but I think sometimes in our day of multimedia we haven't realized that when we sit and watch something and listen to it for two hours we're fellowshipping with whoever wrote this and there are some fools writing some food stuff but if we sit and watch it all night who's the fool I mean you know people do it they say can you believe they let that go on the TV can you believe they talk like that on I can't believe they talk like that only people are hypocrites oh they get huffy somebody curse at the restaurant beside their table ain't standing for that he can't cuss around me and go home sit and listen to two hours of cussing on the TV not say a word what I'm saying is me you whoever if we fellowship with fools we can't we must we must not think that we can watch and listen to fool stuff people the fools who wrote it and people act in a fool portraying it that we can and just call it entertainment and are unaffected no we're fellowshiping with it are you with me and whatever you fellowship with you will become like that there was some folk a while back they were talking about sexual offenders and sexual predators and they were doing this study and trying to say did they did they think that they're watching night and day this pornography and this perverted stuff affected them in acting out this stuff or not well that's ridiculous to even ask the question you watch stuff long enough it's gonna work in you to do it so we ought to be selective about what we sit and watch and what we sitting listen to why big all you got to do is ask yourself the question do I want to be like that if you don't want to be like that turn it off because whatever you fellowship with you're going to become oh no it won't affect me you're deceived the Scriptures write evil communications and associations corrupt if the Bible says they corrupt and what do they do they I don't care how good of morals and standards and character that you have you associate with this stuff it'll corrupt it might not do it in a day or a week or a month but long enough exposure you'll start slipping to start entertaining stuff that you used to wouldn't even wouldn't even thought about you'd start looking at and talking stuff and being involved in going places you never would have stopped you know people mess up Internet like I don't know how in the world that happened it just happened no it didn't just happen you crossed the line way back here three years ago and little by little by little and then more and more and more you become like what you see you become there's a spiritual principle that you become what you behold the Bible says when it comes to the Lord we lock in a mirror beholding the glory of God we're changed into the same image from glory to glory by the Spirit of the Lord well what if you behold the wrong thing you become what you behold it is a spiritual law now notice if this is true and we know it is then it's not surprising that when God put all this wisdom in Solomon what's the next thing we see people who had wisdom want to see Solomon people who were such fools that they didn't even see the value of it you know they don't care but people who have wisdom they did they traveled extreme distances in primitive forms of travel they took some it took months some of it took years but they wanted to be around this because wisdom recognizes wisdom and wisdom knows the value of it and knows that Association is a key to becoming wiser and the Bible said although the kings and all the wise men of the time they sought to hearing they traveled to him they went to him they wanted to be around him and there was a woman that singled out in particular that came you me not anybody remember her who was she Queen of Sheba that's a phrase that's thrown around today and the Queen is she what turn let's read about - Queen of Sheba just a bit the 8th chapter of second chronicles second chronicles chapter 8 let's see if I'm thinking right here may just be the ninth chapter we go to uh yeah let's just start at 9 9 1 and when the Queen of Sheba somebody said Queen of Sheba when the Queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon what did she hear about Fame of what what was he famous for wisdom she heard about that she came everybody says she came she came to prove Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem and she brought a very great company and camels that bear spices and gold and abundance and precious stones and when she had come to Solomon she communed with him of all that was in her heart and Solomon told her all her questions there was nothing hid from Solomon which he told her not she didn't stump him on one thing and she's no dummy are you listening this woman is brilliant some said well how can you say that I can see though what she values I mean she's got it made she's Queen she's got money she's got prestige she's got all kind of stuff she can stay home and get her nails done and get another massage and pick out another big diamond ring but she hears about wisdom and travel in those days was arduous it was long it how many like to ride a donkey for a thousand miles even the nicest chariots did not have suspension like your car you and there were no nice paved roads like we got I mean you feel every every jolt every rut every bump and it goes on for 12 and 15 hours day after day after day after day shed I'm sure she traveled in the best of the day but you understand she could have stayed at home but no she wants this and she traveled as long and is hard and as far as it took or y'all with me none do you see any any relevance today quiet isn't this place packed out tonight why isn't every Church and every ministry that's preaching the Word of God why aren't they full to the gills of people coming hungry going I want to hear the wisdom of God I want to know the will of God why because people are fools they don't know what's valuable they don't know what's precious you got people this cross the road from a good church it won't get up 30 minutes early to go in Sunday morning that's being a fool but wise people I said wise people oh they'll get up early they'll stay up late they'll stand in line to get a seat they'll fly all over the country they'll drive all over the country right why hungry saying I got questions God's got answers and I'm after him I come to get mine I come to get my wisdom I come to get my understanding and what will happen those that hunger and thirst after righteousness they shall be filled they shall be so man she grilled him she grilled him about everything she didn't understand and he answered every question and three when the Queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon and the house that he built yeah now supposing what does one have to do with the other everything God is the wisest what about his house what about what he's building right now some people have thought well I'd rather have wisdom than their soul world's riches mm-hmm you thinking wrong through the wisdom of God you know how to appropriate and how to build the house and where to put everything and how not to put that stuff in there because that's not the last three years you know how to get this stuff and how to put it and how to wire it and how to plummet and how to lay it out how many understand the Queen of Sheba had a nice pad herself but she comes in and sees Solomon's place she's used to finery but she sees his place and she goes oh why the Bible so we read just a minute said there was no breath left in her she were looking at his stuff and she didn't move she didn't come out of a tent now she's Queen what enabled him to have such spectacular stuff not just money I've seen people that had a lot of money had some of the ugly stuff you ever saw money doesn't give you taste you can have tons of money and no taste which is not another way of saying what no wisdom to know what looks good with what and you don't don't get somebody else to tell you don't get somebody else to tell you what looks good to you they might make a suggestion but don't let somebody make all your decisions and tell you what looks good to you you got the wisdom of God inside you and God will show you and tailor things for you so the uniqueness of your tastes and wisdom is expressed it'll be impressive and you won't be cookie cutter same as everybody else in everything it's my say wisdom wisdom so when she saw that verse 4 it keeps going she saw the food on his table is there wisdom how to cook a meal how to set a table and the sitting of his servants how many know there's the best way to do everything and see Lord help me get this out fit I've talked to Phyllis about this many times she I don't think she started hearing it but I know she's heard it before that God is helping us in this church we are getting rid of this well that's good enough mentality well this this sloppy by the cheapest thing and save the Lord some money like brother Copeland said when's he gonna see all this money people are saving for him it's ridiculous people do it because they're cheap and they're lazy they do the cheapest thing and the quickest easiest thing they've got nothing to do with saving the Lord money well friend there is a way to do everything that glorifies God will you believe with me will you pray about there is a way for the traffic to come in that glorifies God there's a way to come in the doors there's a way for the bathrooms to operate there's a way for everything to work that glorifies God until people come in and go wow man I never thought of that but we didn't either but God already knew and we said Lord we got to have your wisdom on this we got a and he gave it to us and we saw this is the best way to do this and this is the best way to do this and how many believe every day and every week you ought to be getting some of that this is the bet this is a better way it's a better way and the smartest people on the planet can't figure it out in their heads it's a gift I said it's a gift of grace from God well with wisdom permeated everything Solomon did the way he said his table the way he dressed the way his servants dressed the way they came in the way they went out there was an order and a flow is God wise can you see it in his creation the way even in its fallen state under the curse you still see so much order in the planet and in creation don't you God didn't just throw a bunch of stuff together and hope it worked so well that's good enough every time I say that I think about brother Kenneth Copeland one of the first gospel music projects he sang some worldly stuff but one of the first music of God that he ever recorded he got some money and believed God he got in the studio and he hired some musicians he didn't have of his own and he they they're working on it and it was going late in the night and if you've never done that kind of work you don't know but it you know doing the same thing for the thirtieth time it can get old and it's getting late and you're getting tired but brother Kenneth wasn't satisfied with it and he said no and so this fellow was playing the guitar and he was a hired musician and finally the fella said oh now that's just good enough for gospel music oh brother they said the steam came out of brother Kenneth Sears and that guy was gone right then and he's right I said he's right if there's anywhere where you gonna spend more money who are you going to work on it longer where you gonna do it better it ought to be in the gospel in the things of God with the church with the ministry the best of the best and there's only one way we can do that with the wisdom of God without it you'll just waste money and you'll waste time and effort it'll still be ugly how many know you can spend a million dollars and work for six months and have an ugly project you can oh but by the wisdom of God it'll flow there's grace it'll come together it'll fit you won't waste anything and that's for you in your personal life in your home in your business there's a best way to make your bed there's a best way to cook a meal there's a best way to clean up after it there's adjustments we can make and save ourselves whole days out of our week hours out of our day and enjoy it more so there's so much wasted time and wasted effort and wasted money just through foolishness and ignorance when she saw verse 4 the food on his table the way his servant said the attendance of his ministers their clothes his cupbearers their apparel his acsent by which he went up into the house of the Lord there was no more spirit in her or one translation said there's no much had he lost her breath see Solomon thought when I get up from doing my national duties and I go up to the house of the Lord it ought to be in a manner that befits the glory of God that now we're moving up from a high to a higher thing and so he is thrown and he steps and the ascent and the the the circumstance and and ceremony with which they did it can you see that we are suffering today from the rebellion of the 50s and 60s everything's common nothing's imported you don't dress up for anything you don't try to do anything you know oh I don't go for all that pomp and circumstance what no you don't want to be just showing you don't want to do a bunch of stuff for no reason but you do want to reach down on the inside and give God all the dignity oh come on now and do things with all the excellence that befits such a glorious God and when you get a heart for it he starts showing you how and he starts giving you the equipment and the ability and the resources with which you can oh come on now and this is not just for church now you are a witness everywhere you are at your shop at your place you can notify God by the way you come to work in the morning by the way you lay your tools out oh come on now somebody needs to be hearing that by the way you approach your project and by the way you do it with the skill you do it with the efficiency and the spirit with which you do it the way let's say you sell something you sell clothes or so the way you meet somebody and greet them the dignity with which you address them the skill in which you do you answer their questions about your product how many times you ever go somewhere and you know more about the product they're selling than they did that doesn't glorify God skilful knowledgeable understanding grace it all glorifies God people leave impressed with you going man have you have you ever talked to good salesperson over there I've never seen a finer salesperson in my life and then they find out you're a Christian your faith person love God with all your heart soul mind and strength that is a witness can you say Amen let's keep reading she said to the king it was a true report I heard in my own land of your acts and of your wisdom I didn't leave it till I came and my eyes saw it and behold the half of the greatness of your wisdom was not told me I thought they were exaggerating but they didn't tell half of it for you exceed the fame that I heard happy are your men and happy are your servants that spend continually before you and they get to hear this wisdom blessed be the Lord your God which delighted in you and set you on his throne to be king for the Lord your God because God loved Israel to establish them forever and so he made you the king to do judgment and justice and she gave the King a hundred and twenty talents a talent was about a hundred pound chunk of gold you know I thought it's funny because I don't know where you grew up but in the South you know you hear somebody they say it in a negative way well look at her she come as a saying in here like the Queen of Sheba who does she think she is the Queen of Sheba somebody calls you the Queen of Sheba you better shout because here's a woman who knew what was important who knew what was valuable and I mean was willing to spend large money and travel to the ends of the earth she got what she was looking for she got her answers what do you think happened when she got home what do you think happened at their dinner table what do you think happened in all that I'm telling everything everything in Sheba land came up to the standard of the glory of God everything come up she said no no no no no we used to do it that way but let me tell you what I saw over Solomon's house let me tell you the way they did that let me tell you how God showed him how to do that and so everything came up and so it's supposed to be with you people around you they see how you do it they may not say a word next thing you look up they do it like you do and they're happier can you save me enclose and go with me to the book of Acts I think it's closing the book of Acts the Bible called the queen of sheba southern queen that's right Matthew 1242 says she's the queen of the south and said she's going to rise up in judgment with this generation and condemn it because she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon and what he was saying is that there's a greater than Solomon here today it was Jesus and there's people didn't even respect him didn't even receive him and he said she's going to judge you well that means she's still alive right and she's gonna look at them and go are you kidding me I wrote a little rough fit for you know 8 months 9 months 2 years whatever it took to get there to hear Solomon and here is Jesus so much greater than Solomon and you would listen to him wise people know what is valuable wise people know what is precious Queen of the South Queen of Sheba look with me in Acts let's see where are you now what chapter yeah I know I didn t ah let's see the in the early part of the book here about the fifth chapter my let's not being too big of a rush tonight can you can you stay with me I know we've taken a little extra time on these things but I told you I'm I'm for me I'm charting new territory and we're believing God for each step of this and we want to not just hear about it but we want to receive it right and do it in the book of Acts there is the account well I'm not ready to go to acts that's what the deal is go to Ephesians please thank you lord I don't think you take a whole lot longer here but I don't want to be rushed and finish up here how can you become wiser how can you become what can you become wiser is it up to us to get it yeah you got a hunger for it got a desire for it cry after it seek it ask for it right got to watch your words not just be a motormouth got to be teachable love instruction even correction and rebuke right and you must walk with wise people be willing to go long distances be willing to be inconvenienced to be around wisdom greater than you than what you have right here we see in Ephesians a phrase and a prayer that he told us to pray a lot of you know it but remember Ephesians 1 he's praying verse 17 that the god of the Lord Jesus Christ the father of glory may give to you what the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him the what spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him spirit we quoted this but I'm gonna read it to you again in the Book of Isaiah he talks about how that the spirit of wisdom is honest remember the spirit of counsel the spirit of knowledge and understanding that he makes us of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord he said out loud spirit of wisdom spirit of wisdom now in the book of Acts you remember the miracle of the lame man at the gate called beautiful right and how that the whole city was moved when this man was healed and raised up and in chapter 4 the leaders of the land tried to quiet this and quench this and Peter verse 8 acts 4:8 he stood up filled with the Holy Ghost and got the preaching and he told them there wasn't salvation verse 12 there is salvation in no other name none of the name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved now let's just stop right here if you if you read the whole account did did he speak eloquently oh man I mean he's quoting scripture and the words are rolling rolling off of his tongue in wisdom and in power where did he get his degrees Peter didn't go to seminary where did he get this I mean he's speaking like a powerhouse hee hee might not be using big words but he's speaking eloquently and he's saying exactly he's using the right word to express it and he said it at the right place and the right way at the right time and I mean the powers just knocking people off their seat including the educated leaders he's preaching and talking and they're going and they're the ones in the big high seat looking down on him he's a fisherman they got four degrees was it safe verse 13 when they saw the boldness of Peter and John and they perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men they marveled and they took knowledge of them that what they had been with Jesus you walk with the wise you become wise you walk with the faith full of faith you become full of faith you want with the righteous and those full of truth you become full of truth you walk with the bold the miracle workers you become the bold and the miracle workers got nothing to do with where you went to school now this is not all go with me back to Deuteronomy and as you turn it back there's a spirit of wisdom said out loud against spirit of wisdom and singers and players come on up in and get ready spirit of wisdom it's not something you just learn with your head the spirit of wisdom comes in yet God puts his wisdom and his spirit of his wisdom inside you the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him the scripture said the spirit of wisdom and understanding the spirit of counsel and might the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord notice he keeps saying the spirit of it the spirit of it the spirit of it comes on you and comes in you now in Deuteronomy 34 Deuteronomy 34 the Bible says this Deuteronomy 34 verse 7 Deuteronomy 34 7 Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died his eye was not dim nor his natural force abated can you still be in good shape as you get older and older oh yeah you're not 23 and you won't run like you did when you're 23 but you have not dried out and you are not weak and you have not lost your faculties he climbed a mountain to die and God now get this God had to tell him it was time to die and here's something that shocks a lot of people but you don't have to be sick to die some people bless the hearts they try to look so wise and go well if you never got sick how would you ever die easy your body is like a glove and your spirits like the hand in the glove you pull the hand out of the glove what can you do to make it quit moving without the hand in the glove the glove is dead no movement spirit leaves the body the body is dead said verse 8 the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days so the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended and Joshua the son of nun was full of the spirit of wisdom for Moses had laid his hands upon him glory be to God glory be to God glory be to God the spirit of he was he was white full of the spirit of wisdom for Moses that laid his hands upon him now this this didn't happen just overnight he had served with him for a long time but then when Moses laid his hands upon him and the Bible said the spirit of wisdom came inside him in a stronger way than they had before spirit of wisdom said out loud spirit of wisdom stand up on your feet please oh thank you lord let's just pray in the
