The Power of Gold

Proverbs 18:23 (KJV)

23 The poor useth intreaties; but the rich answereth roughly.

Riches Afford Benefits of Arrogance That Poverty Tends to Suppress…

The Golden Rule:

“He who has the gold rules”

The Power of Gold or Riches Tends to Cause an Intoxication of Boldness(rough), without Consideration for Others!

The litmus test of what someone really is, is not always when they are poor and powerless but rather when they have the money and authority, you will then see,

Who They Always Were…

The Poor Have to be Careful, Where the Rich Do Not Care…

This is the True Test of Whether Money Rules You

Or “You Rule Money”

*It Is Your Attitude Toward Those Who Have Less and Have No Power…

Friends

Proverbs 18:24 (KJV)

24 A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.

This generation is obsessed with

“Friends”

And yet Loneliness is at an all time high!

Just friending people has no value!

Building relationships take time…

But there is a friend that sticks closer than a brother!

“Jesus”

⁃ Just friending him is not enough

⁃ Just knowing his name is not enough …

But when you build a relationship, it is a two-way street.

And the value of this type of friendship is without price!

Instead of friending, Jesus

Build an intimate relationship today!

He will stick to you closer than a brother!

Name dropping has no value

But a relationship is without price!

Be Careful of What You Love

Proverbs 18:21

21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Love is Important, But (What)

You Love is More Important!

Our Actions Good or Bad All Have Consequences…

The Consequences are the (fruit)

If I am going to eat (fruit)

I want “Good” fruit not “Bad” fruit.

This Scripture is Saying-

“People Who Love Talking”

Shall Eat the Fruit of it…

*This is not meant as a Good Thing…

Unreasonable Faith

1 John 5:14

14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:

Many Think That Faith is Believing God to Give Us Anything We Want or Ask For….

This Could Be No Further from the Truth!

The Liberty and God Given Permission to Ask Anything in His Name is Not Without Perimeters…

Consider How Ridiculous it Would Be Without (Perimeters) if “Anything Asked”?

Was Granted…

The Mayhem, Self Destruction and Chaos that Ensue Would Be Catastrophic and  untenable!

But if We Ask Anything (According to His Will) It Becomes a Surety!

Next Time You Ask in Prayer-

Include, Lord if it is Your Will…

1 Peter 4:11

Doesn’t God Answer Every Prayer?

James 4:2-3

2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.

3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

*Nothing Lies Beyond the Reach of Prayer Except Those Things Outside the Will of God…

He always Answers-

Sometimes “Yes”

Sometimes “No”

Sometimes “Wait”

But He Always Answers

Leaving the Visible for the Invisible

Ps 73:17

17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.

Understanding in the things of the Heart and Soul

Are More Understood Spiritually not Physically…

People Who’s Lives are in Constant Turmoil and Trouble

Are Often Those Who Miss Opportunities to Be in Gods’ Sanctuary…

It Is Here That All Things Are Revealed

All Things are Restored

All Things are Repaired

All Things Are Strengthened

Everything That Really is Meaningful Happen at the House of God!

Makes you wonder then why so many make going into His Sanctuary the one thing that can be Negotiated?

And Everything Else of More Importance…

Document Yourself Today on Paper…

Make a List-

And See Where You Frequent and Spend the Majority of Your Time…

This Will Be the Answer of Why Your Life is not Fulfilled!

The Need for Instant Gratification

John 13:7

[7] Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.

You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand (Jn 13:7)

Between AI, Google and Siri we have become a generation that expects “instant” answers and understanding!

We have come to expect immediately, what use to take a trip to the library and much research and education to obtain (the knowledge) to now have instantly at our fingertips.

Faith is slowly (or quickly) Being Eliminated from mankind and the Church!

Faith is Trusting-

Trusting what we don’t know right now, is in the hands of someone who has it all under control!

You as Peter May Not Understand What the Father is Doing…

But Faith and Trust Allows Him to Proceed and Continue in Your Life Without Question.

Because =

Later… you will understand all things!
