- 0:44Speaker 1: On today's Morning Devo, we're talking about wisdom over knowledge.
- 0:49Speaker 1: Excuse me, wisdom over knowledge, meaning that true education isn't
- 0:55Speaker 1: just facts and information, it's the ability to apply knowledge wisely.
- 1:01Speaker 1: If you have knowledge without understanding, if you don't, if
- 1:05Speaker 1: you don't have the means to take your knowledge and
- 1:09Speaker 1: use it and apply the knowledge wisely, then you're halfway there. Amen.
- 1:14Speaker 1: So you could have all of this up here in
- 1:16Speaker 1: your head going on. You can have the information, you
- 1:20Speaker 1: can have the knowledge, but if you don't have the understanding, Amen,
- 1:24Speaker 1: then you're missing out on the full on the full
- 1:28Speaker 1: scope of things. That the way God wants to use
- 1:31Speaker 1: you and He wants to use me in today's world. Amen.
- 1:35Speaker 1: We have to have both knowledge and wisdom. So wisdom
- 1:39Speaker 1: is over knowledge, Amen, because without without wisdom, your knowledge
- 1:45Speaker 1: is going to be just fruitless. Amen. You want to
- 1:48Speaker 1: be fruitful. I want to be fruitful. We want to multiply,
- 1:52Speaker 1: we want to advance the Kingdom of God. We want
- 1:54Speaker 1: to spread the Gospel message. Get understanding, get wisdom, and
- 2:00Speaker 1: God freely gives to those who asks him for wisdom
- 2:04Speaker 1: and man, he freely gives it. So that's what we're
- 2:06Speaker 1: going to be on today on the morning, Devo, I
- 2:09Speaker 1: hope you ready and geared up. We're going to be
- 2:12Speaker 1: in Proverbs, chapter fourth, verse number seven. Get your Bible
- 2:15Speaker 1: apps ready and get your Bible ready, amen, and get
- 2:19Speaker 1: your heart ready to receive. Amen, what the Word of
- 2:22Speaker 1: God has for us this morning. And I'm excited about
- 2:24Speaker 1: it because I know that wisdom is over knowledge. Amen. Wisdom,
- 2:29Speaker 1: godly wisdom is over regular human knowledge. For sure, one
- 2:34Speaker 1: hundred percent. Good morning, brother Manuel, It's good to see
- 2:37Speaker 1: you in the morning. Devo. Manuel says, he who lacks wisdom,
- 2:41Speaker 1: let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally
- 2:45Speaker 1: without disdain. Absolutely. Amen. God will give you what you
- 2:50Speaker 1: ask for when it comes to wisdom and understanding. Amen.
- 2:54Speaker 1: And the Bible literally says that the wisdom of this world,
- 2:58Speaker 1: you could be what a PhD doctor whatever, all this smart,
- 3:04Speaker 1: you could be a genius in this world, and it's
- 3:07Speaker 1: foolishness to God, Amen, because the wisdom of God is
- 3:12Speaker 1: over knowledge. So if you have any questions, comments, concerns,
- 3:16Speaker 1: prayer requests, or anything along those lines, don't hesitate to
- 3:20Speaker 1: share it on the live chat. That's what we're here for.
- 3:22Speaker 1: And if you're listening on the podcast or you're listening
- 3:25Speaker 1: on the radio, that should be a way to connect
- 3:27Speaker 1: with us as well through those platforms as well, especially
- 3:30Speaker 1: from the website. So let's pray first. After we pray,
- 3:33Speaker 1: we'll share this for like sixty seconds to as many
- 3:36Speaker 1: people as we can. Amen. And anytime during the live stream,
- 3:41Speaker 1: anytime during the live you can share this. Amen. And
- 3:44Speaker 1: even if I'm not live by the time you get
- 3:47Speaker 1: to this Amen, you can share this out to as
- 3:49Speaker 1: many people as possible. That's the beauty of the networks
- 3:54Speaker 1: that we're on that we're able to share this out
- 3:56Speaker 1: to as many people as possible. Right, So let's pray. Father,
- 4:01Speaker 1: I thank you so much for what you're doing in
- 4:04Speaker 1: our hearts and in our minds. Thank you for transforming
- 4:07Speaker 1: our lives. I pray Lord God that during this morning Devo,
- 4:12Speaker 1: that we will understand the power of your wisdom right
- 4:17Speaker 1: over our own knowledge, that our knowing and all our getting.
- 4:23Speaker 1: If we don't have understanding, then we're not getting the
- 4:26Speaker 1: full picture. We're not getting the full gift of what
- 4:29Speaker 1: you offer. Father God, I help us help us, Low God.
- 4:32Speaker 1: I hope and pray that you will help us today
- 4:35Speaker 1: to get your wisdom, get your knowledge, get your understanding,
- 4:38Speaker 1: and that we will humble ourselves and freely give out
- 4:42Speaker 1: what we were given so that way the Kingdom of
- 4:45Speaker 1: God will advance. I pray Lord God, a hedge of protection,
- 4:48Speaker 1: of wall of your fiery angels, a man to protect
- 4:52Speaker 1: us during these times and days that are uncertain. But
- 4:57Speaker 1: we are certain that you.
- 4:58Speaker 2: Are our provider, that you are our refuge, that you
- 5:01Speaker 2: are our safety, that you are our grace, that you
- 5:04Speaker 2: are our mercy, that you are our faith, and that
- 5:07Speaker 2: Lord God, that you govern over our affairs.
- 5:11Speaker 1: And I thank you, Lord God for this heage of protection.
- 5:13Speaker 1: I pray that hedge of protection in the name of Jesus,
- 5:16Speaker 1: over myself, over my wife, over our children, over our grandchildren,
- 5:20Speaker 1: over my brothers, my sister, their families, as well over
- 5:23Speaker 1: every single family represented on the other side of the screen.
- 5:26Speaker 1: And on the other side of this might the hedge
- 5:28Speaker 1: of protection of God or dispatching arkween angels and ministering
- 5:33Speaker 1: angels by the authority of the Lord Jesus, the shiwahamashiek
- 5:36Speaker 1: to really penetrate darkness today and will shine the light
- 5:41Speaker 1: of Christ through us, for us and around us. And
- 5:45Speaker 1: that no weapon forged against us shall prosper. And that
- 5:47Speaker 1: we will be advancing the kingdom with boldness, gentleness, with humility,
- 5:52Speaker 1: being humble, being joyful, which is the joy of the Lord,
- 5:56Speaker 1: which is our strength all of it, Lord God, that

- 8:01Speaker 1: take that for granted. I know. I say that a
- 8:03Speaker 1: lot is because I really mean it. People think, oh,
- 8:06Speaker 1: you just share it. Oh I'm just sharing it like
- 8:09Speaker 1: it doesn't mean nothing to me. It means a lot
- 8:11Speaker 1: because you're allowing me to share this message, the gospel message,
- 8:15Speaker 1: the word of God, throughout the platforms that I would
- 8:18Speaker 1: never be able to reach unless you allow me to
- 8:20Speaker 1: reach the people on your group. So thank you so much,
- 8:23Speaker 1: mister Joanne. I see you. Good morning, God bless you.

- 8:28Speaker 1: Thank you for your agreement, Amen, and thank you man
- 8:30Speaker 1: well for your agreement. Amen as well. This power and agreement.
- 8:35Speaker 1: And we know that as believers, we know when we're
- 8:37Speaker 1: together we're so much better. Please, Lord Jesus help us
- 8:42Speaker 1: to unite the Body of Christ and this lee have
- 8:44Speaker 1: valley where where I'm broadcasting from. So that way this
- 8:47Speaker 1: territory could be ours by the power of unity, the
- 8:52Speaker 1: unity of Christ. Amen. And that we will be in fellowship,
- 8:55Speaker 1: one with another, Amen, and not be competitive, and we
- 8:58Speaker 1: would just be one in faith, one in wisdom and understanding,
- 9:03Speaker 1: one in the Body of Christ, and one unifying the
- 9:07Speaker 1: body over hand and lee have valley, because I know
- 9:10Speaker 1: when that happens, forget it, the enemy will have to
- 9:14Speaker 1: loosen his grip over this valley and we will be
- 9:17Speaker 1: in a better position to continue in advance the Kingdom
- 9:20Speaker 1: of God. Over handly have valley and beyond Amen, wisdom
- 9:24Speaker 1: over knowledge. Let's get to it. Let's get to it,
- 9:26Speaker 1: because this is where we need to be. Amen. This
- 9:29Speaker 1: is where we are ready because of the finished work
- 9:32Speaker 1: of Christ. Amen. But we need to get involved or
- 9:35Speaker 1: may apply they applied work of Christ. There's a difference
- 9:39Speaker 1: between the finished work and they applied work of Christ. Amen.
- 9:42Speaker 1: So let's get this on the screen, Sister Nilsa, I
- 9:44Speaker 1: see you. Amen. Let me just get this on the
- 9:47Speaker 1: screen and we can move forward. Nils, So, good morning,
- 9:50Speaker 1: God bless you. Welcome to the morning, Devo, thank you
- 9:55Speaker 1: so much for coming through my sister. Amen. Good morning
- 9:58Speaker 1: to my brothers and sisters. God bless you all. Thanks,
- 10:00Speaker 1: thank you for the blessing. We'll take it, Amen, united
- 10:02Speaker 1: corporately in the spirit. Yes, Manuel, we need to be
- 10:05Speaker 1: united corporately. Amen. So once we get this together, we
- 10:09Speaker 1: could take back with the enemy as supposedly stolen, because
- 10:13Speaker 1: nothing belongs to the enemy. Everything belongs to our God
- 10:16Speaker 1: of heaven and Earth. Amen, including that. Amen. Concluding that, Yes,
- 10:21Speaker 1: being led by the spirit. You're right, brother Manuel, Amen,
- 10:25Speaker 1: You're on fire this morning, so let's go for it.
- 10:28Speaker 1: Proverbs four, chapter four, verse number seven. Listen closely to
- 10:33Speaker 1: the scripture this to amplify version. The beginning of wisdom.
- 10:38Speaker 1: Everything has a beginning. I hope you understand that right.
- 10:42Speaker 1: The only being, supreme being that doesn't have a beginning
- 10:48Speaker 1: on no end is God himself. He's the creator. But
- 10:52Speaker 1: he created us, and he created us to know that
- 10:55Speaker 1: it is a beginning of wisdom, and that beginning of
- 10:58Speaker 1: wisdom is Get wisdom, skillful and godly wisdom, not the
- 11:03Speaker 1: wisdom too much of this world, but the wisdom of God.
- 11:07Speaker 1: Get it for skillful and godly wisdom. Is the principal thing,
- 11:13Speaker 1: most important thing. And with all you have gotten, please
- 11:19Speaker 1: get understanding. I put the pleas in there myself, my
- 11:22Speaker 1: bad get understanding, discernment, comprehension, and interpretation. You could also
- 11:29Speaker 1: cross reference this verse of Proverbs four seven with James
- 11:33Speaker 1: chapter one and verse five. I call James the New
- 11:37Speaker 1: Testament Proverbs because the Book of James he breaks a
- 11:40Speaker 1: lot of this down as well. So the beginning of
- 11:42Speaker 1: wisdom is what right getting wisdom, godly wisdom for what for?
- 11:50Speaker 1: Skillful and godly wisdom is the principal thing. That's why
- 11:55Speaker 1: we go out. This wisdom, it's the principal thing. And
- 11:57Speaker 1: with all that we get. Some scriptures say, translations of
- 12:01Speaker 1: the scripture says, and all you're getting, get understanding, amen,
- 12:04Speaker 1: Because if you don't understand what you're getting, if you
- 12:07Speaker 1: don't understand what you're receiving, you're gonna be going out
- 12:10Speaker 1: in like a vicious cycle like, oh man, I know this,
- 12:13Speaker 1: I notice, I notice. I just don't know how to
- 12:16Speaker 1: apply what I know. So that means you don't have
- 12:18Speaker 1: the wisdom of God. You have the knowledge. That's why,
- 12:21Speaker 1: if you think about it, so many people say, yeah,
- 12:23Speaker 1: I read your Bible front or back from cover to cover,
- 12:27Speaker 1: and I don't understand it, or I come to the
- 12:31Speaker 1: conclusion that it's not real and your God is not real,
- 12:34Speaker 1: and this kind of third that's because they're reading the
- 12:36Speaker 1: scriptures uninspired. They don't have the spirit of God living
- 12:40Speaker 1: within them, so they don't understand the spiritue value of
- 12:45Speaker 1: the Holy Scriptures. And because they're getting knowledge and knowledge, knowledge,
- 12:49Speaker 1: they're puffing themselves up with knowledge, but they don't have
- 12:52Speaker 1: the wisdom of God, so therefore they don't have the
- 12:54Speaker 1: understanding of God. It's a serious situation when you get
- 12:59Speaker 1: all of this stuff and had knowledge, but you don't
- 13:02Speaker 1: know how to apply it. You don't know how to
- 13:04Speaker 1: apply it in your life in real time. So people say, oh,
- 13:07Speaker 1: that book is antiquated, it's irrelevant, it doesn't matter anymore.
- 13:12Speaker 1: We misinterpreted it right. So many people have these kind
- 13:16Speaker 1: of excuses so they could continue living the way they
- 13:18Speaker 1: want to live, point blank. Period. Pride right comes before
- 13:22Speaker 1: the fall. They want to just do their own thing.
- 13:25Speaker 1: They don't want any God in their life. They don't
- 13:27Speaker 1: want to humble themselves, they don't want to put them
- 13:30Speaker 1: in a position of humility. They just want to do
- 13:33Speaker 1: what they want to do. So they attack our scriptures,
- 13:36Speaker 1: they attack our lifestyle, and then they point out all
- 13:39Speaker 1: the flaws of the disunity around the world. Amen. You
- 13:44Speaker 1: see people like that all the time. You probably know
- 13:46Speaker 1: people like that. Amen. Don't look at nobody that you're
- 13:49Speaker 1: with that's like that right now. But we know you
- 13:52Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about. Right. Manuel says, when the
- 13:54Speaker 1: people were united in the spirit, they succeeded. When they
- 13:58Speaker 1: were not, they fought against one another. Yes, when you
- 14:01Speaker 1: see fighting amongst the body of Christ, I take that back,
- 14:05Speaker 1: the body of Christ. Don't fight. When you see fighting
- 14:08Speaker 1: amongst churches, amen, corporate or organizations that represent the Lord
- 14:15Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. When you see the back biding and fighting, Amen,
- 14:18Speaker 1: it's not a good look. But the body of Christ
- 14:20Speaker 1: is united. That's why I said, let me take that back.
- 14:22Speaker 1: The Body of Christ is united. Jesus Christ is the
- 14:25Speaker 1: head and we are the body. We are in perfect
- 14:28Speaker 1: unity with the head a man as the body of
- 14:31Speaker 1: Christ because of the finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ. Now,
- 14:35Speaker 1: the applied work of the Lord Jesus Christ is where
- 14:37Speaker 1: we are at right now. We're growing in grace, We're
- 14:40Speaker 1: growing in unity. We're growing in knowledge and wisdom and understanding,
- 14:44Speaker 1: and we have everything we need to live this life
- 14:46Speaker 1: out in godliness and in righteousness. So we don't need
- 14:50Speaker 1: to be back biding, we don't need to be fighting.
- 14:51Speaker 1: This is not a competition. This is actually we're benefiting
- 14:55Speaker 1: offered the completed work of the Lord Jesus Christ. We're
- 14:58Speaker 1: not benefiting off of competing with one another. Amen. For what.
- 15:03Speaker 1: I don't know, but some people have their reasons why
- 15:06Speaker 1: their church or their organization needs to be better than
- 15:11Speaker 1: my church, stuff like that. I don't get involved with
- 15:15Speaker 1: the gang mentality. Amen. I know for sure that once
- 15:18Speaker 1: we unite together, Amen, in faith, one church, one body,
- 15:22Speaker 1: one faith, one spirit, right, one Kingdom, one God, one Lord,
- 15:25Speaker 1: one Savior, then we're on the right track. And then
- 15:28Speaker 1: we're using our wisdom over knowledge. And we know it, Amen,
- 15:33Speaker 1: we know it. The Spirit makes intercession for us. Yes, absolutely, Amen,
- 15:37Speaker 1: And let me get to my notes, and thank you
- 15:39Speaker 1: so much for your comments, Mother Manuell. Amen. People will
- 15:43Speaker 1: take what is spiritual and try applying it to what
- 15:46Speaker 1: is worldly. I mean sometimes that has benefits, right, because
- 15:51Speaker 1: when you apply what you know to be spiritual, Amen,
- 15:55Speaker 1: and you see what's worldly. I know some people try
- 15:59Speaker 1: to do the two all live righteous and ratchet at
- 16:02Speaker 1: the same time. Doesn't work. But I get what you're saying.
- 16:05Speaker 1: But the man, well, we see it a lot. We
- 16:07Speaker 1: see it a lot in our society. We see that
- 16:09Speaker 1: a lot in Christendom. We see that a lot. With
- 16:12Speaker 1: the false prophets, false teachers that are out there. They
- 16:15Speaker 1: tried to mix it too. I saw like a horrible
- 16:19Speaker 1: like it really turned my stomach. There's a famous preacher
- 16:23Speaker 1: out there, he's always talking weird stuff. And they were
- 16:27Speaker 1: talking about marriage. They were sitting at the pulpit, and
- 16:34Speaker 1: I'll leave it alone. He just says something that was
- 16:36Speaker 1: kind of like nasty right about his wife in front
- 16:40Speaker 1: of the congregation. And then he stuck out his tongue
- 16:44Speaker 1: to make a gesture of what he was talking, trying
- 16:47Speaker 1: to talk about his wife, what he would do, what
- 16:49Speaker 1: he does with his wife right there from the pulpit.
- 16:52Speaker 1: And it was like, come on, man, that's not a
- 16:54Speaker 1: good look. That's a perfect example of what I'm saying.
- 16:58Speaker 1: He has knowledge, but he wasn't you wisdom at that point,
- 17:01Speaker 1: just wants to be famous like he is. Amen. And
- 17:04Speaker 1: because he was famous and he has a following as
- 17:07Speaker 1: a big church. He feels like he could say anything
- 17:10Speaker 1: he wants to say, and no matter what, people are
- 17:13Speaker 1: gonna still you know, agree with him, and then oh
- 17:17Speaker 1: Lord forbid, if you say anything against it, then he'll
- 17:19Speaker 1: call out everybody as being religious. No, I don't think
- 17:24Speaker 1: people are calling those type of people out because they're religious.
- 17:27Speaker 1: I think people are calling out those false teachers and
- 17:30Speaker 1: prophets and all that evangelists that are acting crazy. I
- 17:34Speaker 1: think we're just being righteous, not religious. What about righteousness?
- 17:39Speaker 1: People forget about righteousness, like if it's out the window. Oh,
- 17:42Speaker 1: you don't have to be righteous no more. Yes we are.
- 17:45Speaker 1: We're according to God's scripture. We are who God calls
- 17:48Speaker 1: us to be. Amen. We're righteous because God is righteous.
- 17:51Speaker 1: We're holy because God is holy. We're not common Christians anymore.
- 17:56Speaker 1: Common Christians do whatever you know we do. You know,
- 18:01Speaker 1: whatever the church does, that's common Christian. Amen. I want
- 18:05Speaker 1: to be a holy Christian. What about you saying one
- 18:08Speaker 1: thing and doing another? Yes, yes, saying one thing and
- 18:11Speaker 1: doing another. It's called hypocrisy. It's called fakeness, right, it's
- 18:18Speaker 1: called yeah play acting hypocrisy. So true education isn't just
- 18:24Speaker 1: facts and information. Right. We're not educating ourselves in the
- 18:28Speaker 1: scriptures just to gets facts and information. We're educating ourselves
- 18:31Speaker 1: in a scripture to apply what we know. Amen, So
- 18:34Speaker 1: take the information and cause it to be a transformation. Amen.
- 18:39Speaker 1: It's the ability to apply knowledge wisely, because you can
- 18:43Speaker 1: know a lot. Like if you know something about let's
- 18:48Speaker 1: see about politics, right, and you know what the Republican
- 18:55Speaker 1: Party stands for, and you know what the Demo Democratic
- 18:58Speaker 1: Party stands for. You can have all this knowledge. But
- 19:01Speaker 1: if you don't apply what you know, you're not gonna
- 19:03Speaker 1: know what side to choose, or you're not going to
- 19:06Speaker 1: investigate both sides. People in politics are funny because they
- 19:10Speaker 1: only stick to their party, and they only you know,
- 19:15Speaker 1: look at what their party is doing, and forget that
- 19:18Speaker 1: there's another party. Me all day, I listen to both
- 19:24Speaker 1: when I'm when I'm listening to political radio shows, I
- 19:27Speaker 1: listen to both sides because I want to hear both sides.
- 19:30Speaker 1: I want to hear why are they so opposed against
- 19:33Speaker 1: each other? Why couldn't just stay unite? Amen? If they
- 19:37Speaker 1: want the best for our country, why don't they get together,
- 19:39Speaker 1: sit down and say listen, we don't agree with everything,
- 19:42Speaker 1: But these are the best ideas we have for the country,
- 19:45Speaker 1: because that's the world system, right, it will never happen.
- 19:48Speaker 1: But the Kingdom of God, we know what's best for
- 19:51Speaker 1: the whole planet. We know what's best for the whole universe.
- 19:54Speaker 1: We know what's best for every nation in this world. Amen.
- 19:57Speaker 1: So we should be the ones setting an examp of
- 20:00Speaker 1: getting all united, even the denominations. We might not agree
- 20:05Speaker 1: with everything. Theology might not be the same for every
- 20:08Speaker 1: single denomination. But what we do know is that we
- 20:11Speaker 1: have one Lord, one Savior, one King, right, one God Almighty. Amen,
- 20:17Speaker 1: And we have one Church and one body. We should
- 20:19Speaker 1: be sticking on ten toes down on those principles, Amen.
- 20:24Speaker 1: And the beginning of wisdom right, the beginning of that
- 20:28Speaker 1: is all of us where we read earlier. Let me
- 20:31Speaker 1: just go to it before I mess it up. The
- 20:33Speaker 1: beginning of wisdom is what getting skillful and golly wisdom right.
- 20:37Speaker 1: For skillful and golly wisdom is the principal thing. And
- 20:40Speaker 1: with all that we've gotten, all that we're getting, Amen,
- 20:44Speaker 1: we need to get understanding. We need to get understanding
- 20:46Speaker 1: for real Cornelus. John Paul, God bless you, Blessing to you.
- 20:53Speaker 1: My brother. Blessing to you as well. Welcome to the
- 20:55Speaker 1: morning Devo. Amen, thank you for coming through. Man Well
- 20:59Speaker 1: says a person can be knowledgeable and talk and act
- 21:02Speaker 1: foolish at the same time. Yeah, I see it a lot.
- 21:05Speaker 1: And if you ever see me doing that, call me out.
- 21:08Speaker 1: I'm good. I'm good with rebuke. Amen. I'm good with
- 21:11Speaker 1: creat being corrected because the Bible says, if you're not
- 21:18Speaker 1: willing to be corrected, then you're a fool man like
- 21:20Speaker 1: who wouldn't want to be corrected. If I'm going the
- 21:23Speaker 1: wrong way, Amen, I want someone who loves me, who
- 21:26Speaker 1: loves Christ, who loves me, and say, listen, you're going
- 21:28Speaker 1: the wrong way. Let me know, Amen, because sometimes we
- 21:32Speaker 1: get into some patterns that we're not even knowing that
- 21:35Speaker 1: we're going that way. And if I love you and
- 21:37Speaker 1: you love me, let's talk about it. Right. My culture,
- 21:41Speaker 1: I'm Latino, I'm Puerto Rican. My culture we confront things.
- 21:45Speaker 1: I'm not my personality. I don't like to confront. Only
- 21:48Speaker 1: thing I confront all the time. Amen, is the enemy
- 21:52Speaker 1: a man. I confront and let him know his place
- 21:54Speaker 1: that he's not over me, he's not over my family,
- 21:57Speaker 1: he's not getting any dominion over my family and my
- 22:01Speaker 1: children or anything like that. I'll confront that every day
- 22:03Speaker 1: and all day for people I don't like to confront
- 22:05Speaker 1: because I know how it is. They say, oh, Sam,
- 22:08Speaker 1: you don't say a lot of things, but when you
- 22:09Speaker 1: do speak, XYZ happens. I said, listen, I just want
- 22:14Speaker 1: to speak something of value. I want to make somebody
- 22:18Speaker 1: feel more valuable when I leave the conversation. I don't
- 22:21Speaker 1: want to beat nobody down with my words. I don't
- 22:24Speaker 1: want to use my knowledge and my wisdom to try
- 22:27Speaker 1: to belittle people or dismiss people. I don't do that, Amen,
- 22:30Speaker 1: I really listen and man, we had a situation the
- 22:33Speaker 1: first thing that my daughter was back in school. We
- 22:36Speaker 1: had a situation with a young girl in her school
- 22:41Speaker 1: that I was unaware, and I had to respond and
- 22:44Speaker 1: correct my daughter right down a spot. I know she
- 22:47Speaker 1: was felt uncomfortable. I know she was happy with me, Amen,
- 22:50Speaker 1: But I made sure that that little girl that was
- 22:54Speaker 1: hurt by something that happened. You know how kids are
- 22:58Speaker 1: on social media. I made sure she knew that I
- 23:01Speaker 1: didn't know. And I right there, right there in the
- 23:04Speaker 1: spot while the little girl was crying, A man in
- 23:06Speaker 1: my arms I apologized and I said I'm sorry, and
- 23:09Speaker 1: I made my daughter even say that she was sorry too.
- 23:13Speaker 1: A man, because I want people to leave conversations with
- 23:17Speaker 1: me more encouraged, not beat down, not discouraged, not feeling
- 23:22Speaker 1: angry or anything. And that's as long as it applies
- 23:26Speaker 1: to me. I can make things happen with people all
- 23:29Speaker 1: the time to make them feel encouraged. But I'm saying,
- 23:32Speaker 1: as long as it concerns me, like the scripture says,
- 23:35Speaker 1: I want to be at peace with everybody as long
- 23:37Speaker 1: as it concerns me. And that's the kind of wisdom
- 23:40Speaker 1: God wants us to use. He just doesn't want us
- 23:42Speaker 1: to have head knowledge book knowledge right, just doesn't want
- 23:45Speaker 1: us to have understanding just on what he's doing in
- 23:49Speaker 1: my life a man. He wants us to use what
- 23:52Speaker 1: we know and apply what we know and be wise
- 23:54Speaker 1: about it so that way people could know that there's
- 23:57Speaker 1: a guy who loves them as well. Sorry, put that
- 24:00Speaker 1: up already for the glory of God. Absolutely systems for
- 24:03Speaker 1: the glory of God. Name for my glory. Man, Like listen,
- 24:07Speaker 1: if I'm seeking gloria, I'll get it. I know how
- 24:10Speaker 1: to do the gimmicks and all that stuff that people
- 24:13Speaker 1: do and get into these prophetic lines of how you
- 24:20Speaker 1: call it, apostles and all that stuff. But I want
- 24:22Speaker 1: to chase cloud chase. I could do that too, but
- 24:25Speaker 1: that's not me. I've never been after people. I've never
- 24:28Speaker 1: been chasing after people for cloud and for fame and fortune.
- 24:31Speaker 1: Only time I used to do that, Amen, when I
- 24:33Speaker 1: was in the world system. When I was part of
- 24:35Speaker 1: the world, I was part of that kind of dynamic,
- 24:38Speaker 1: if you want to call it. In Christ, there's no
- 24:40Speaker 1: other doctrine. Amen. I like that. In Christ, there is
- 24:43Speaker 1: no other doctrine. He is the King, Amen. He's the Emperor,
- 24:46Speaker 1: he is the all knowing one, Amen. And the doctrine
- 24:50Speaker 1: of love, grace, and mercy belongs to the Lord, and
- 24:52Speaker 1: he sends that out to us by way of His
- 24:55Speaker 1: Holy Spirit. So apply knowledge wisely a man. The bottom
- 25:00Speaker 1: line is, apply what you know and use that application
- 25:04Speaker 1: of your knowledge wisely. Sister Joys, good morning, God bless you.
- 25:07Speaker 1: Welcome back to the morning Devo, my sister and my friend. Amen. Yeah,
- 25:11Speaker 1: avoiding confrontation is not always good for me. Amen. I
- 25:17Speaker 1: don't think that's always good for any believe in Christ.
- 25:19Speaker 1: We're going to be confronted with things, Amen. But if
- 25:22Speaker 1: we could use godly wisdom and during the confrontation, during
- 25:27Speaker 1: the discussion, I believe things will end off in a
- 25:30Speaker 1: better place. Amen. So I'm out of time here. Amen.
- 25:34Speaker 1: I want to thank everybody for coming through for this morning. Devo.
- 25:37Speaker 1: We were in Proverbs chapter number four, verse number seven.
- 25:41Speaker 1: Take your time read Proverbs chapter four, the whole chapter. Amen,
- 25:45Speaker 1: and see what the Lord has for you today. Amen.
- 25:49Speaker 1: He's always doing a great thing in the lives and
- 25:52Speaker 1: the hearts of his people. Amen. Using grace when dealing
- 25:55Speaker 1: with life issues. Yes, we have what we have because
- 25:58Speaker 1: God has given it to us. Now, everything that God
- 26:01Speaker 1: has given, let's get understanding and use what we know wisely,
- 26:06Speaker 1: so that way people will listen to people, and hopefully
- 26:09Speaker 1: people will listen to us, and then they can make
- 26:12Speaker 1: a wise decision for themselves of who they're going to
- 26:15Speaker 1: serve right and who they're going to worship. And I
- 26:18Speaker 1: pray it and hope that they worship the Lord Jesus Christ,
- 26:21Speaker 1: just like we do. So God bless you all, God
- 26:24Speaker 1: keep you all, and remember always that God is good. Peace,
