- 7:39Speaker 1: No worries, no harm, no file. I want to read
- 7:42Speaker 1: the word for word what we're watching on the screen.
- 7:45Speaker 1: You gnna hear what we're reading and what we're talking
- 7:49Speaker 1: about word for word.
- 7:50Speaker 2: Amen. So no worries there. Amen.
- 7:52Speaker 1: So let's go for it. Let me get this ready
- 7:57Speaker 1: and check it out. Wise planning today in the morning debo.
- 8:02Speaker 1: Proverbs chapter number two, from verses six to nine. The
- 8:06Speaker 1: Word of God says for the Lord. For the Lord
- 8:10Speaker 1: gives wisdom from his mouth, come knowledge and understanding. He
- 8:16Speaker 1: stores up sound wisdom for the upright. He is a
- 8:20Speaker 1: shield to those who walk in integrity, guarding the paths
- 8:25Speaker 1: of justice and watching over the way of His saints.
- 8:29Speaker 1: Then you will understand righteousness and justice and equity every
- 8:35Speaker 1: good path.
- 8:36Speaker 2: Amen.
- 8:37Speaker 1: And the key to equity is to follow justice in
- 8:43Speaker 1: the past of righteousness. And listen, the Bible is clear.
- 8:49Speaker 1: He stores up sound wisdom for the upright, So the
- 8:53Speaker 1: opposite applies. You ain't gonna get this wisdom if you're
- 8:57Speaker 1: not upright, if you're not in right standing with the
- 8:59Speaker 1: Lord a man. Why because you want to do your
- 9:02Speaker 1: own thing. So it should be no surprise to those
- 9:06Speaker 1: who are making plans and are against God or are
- 9:09Speaker 1: not following God, and your plans are getting all jacked
- 9:13Speaker 1: up because you're not living righteous, you're not upright, you're
- 9:18Speaker 1: not following the commandments and directions and ordinances of God.
- 9:22Speaker 2: You want to do your own thing.
- 9:24Speaker 1: So therefore, God loves you so much and loves me
- 9:27Speaker 1: so much that if we want to do our own thing,
- 9:29Speaker 1: he will allow us to do our own thing. He'll
- 9:32Speaker 1: allow our will be done over his will to an
- 9:35Speaker 1: amazing love. It's called grace. But listen, he doesn't want
- 9:39Speaker 1: that for us. He wants us to follow the knowledge
- 9:43Speaker 1: and understanding that come from His mouth. He wants us
- 9:47Speaker 1: to get this wisdom that he gives. He wants us
- 9:52Speaker 1: to walk in integrity. He's going to protect us because
- 9:56Speaker 1: he's our shield. He's going to guard the past of
- 9:59Speaker 1: justic He's watching over us because.
- 10:03Speaker 2: We're his saints.
- 10:05Speaker 1: Then we will understand righteousness and justice and equity and
- 10:11Speaker 1: every good path. It's powerful, man, It's like a key
- 10:14Speaker 1: to living. It's like a life hack right there in
- 10:17Speaker 1: the scriptures. And we know that when we live according
- 10:21Speaker 1: to his way, his plans, his word right, we'll be
- 10:26Speaker 1: doing some wise move, making wise moves. I don't like
- 10:30Speaker 1: to waste nobody's time, and I don't like to waste
- 10:32Speaker 1: my own, So I try my best to follow the
- 10:35Speaker 1: plans of the Lord. I follow my best to go
- 10:40Speaker 1: on the directives of what he wants us to do.
- 10:42Speaker 2: Amen.
- 10:44Speaker 1: There's no other way in my way of thinking. If
- 10:46Speaker 1: I want things to go good and I want things
- 10:49Speaker 1: to go right, and I don't want to just be
- 10:51Speaker 1: selfish and think I got it all together, I just
- 10:55Speaker 1: follow the word.
- 10:57Speaker 2: To me, it's a life hack.
- 10:58Speaker 1: To me, it's a little it's getting simpler every single time,
- 11:02Speaker 1: every single year that I'm following the Lord. My planning
- 11:07Speaker 1: gets a little simpler. And what I'm saying by that
- 11:10Speaker 1: is not it doesn't always go as I want things
- 11:13Speaker 1: to go. But I trust God so much that if
- 11:16Speaker 1: my plan fails, then good, then it wasn't the plan
- 11:19Speaker 1: that God had for me. If your plan fails, good,
- 11:22Speaker 1: then it wasn't the plan that God had for you.
- 11:25Speaker 1: I trust that, and I believe that all my heart
- 11:28Speaker 1: wise planning is available to the saints of God, to
- 11:32Speaker 1: the children of God, for those who have Holy Spirit
- 11:35Speaker 1: God living inside of us. We have this nowhere that's
- 11:39Speaker 1: inside of us. We have this guide that's leading us
- 11:42Speaker 1: into the righteous path. And the other path that's out there,
- 11:47Speaker 1: the broadway that leads people to destruction. We won't got
- 11:50Speaker 1: to get on that path the more. We don't got
- 11:52Speaker 1: to follow those trends no more. And man, we don't
- 11:55Speaker 1: have to be about that life any longer. We could
- 11:58Speaker 1: plan things out and for the glory of God, because
- 12:03Speaker 1: of the Kingdom of God, for the Kingdom of God purposes,
- 12:06Speaker 1: and we could do some wise planning and we'll look
- 12:09Speaker 1: we'll look like we got it going on because God
- 12:12Speaker 1: has something going on through us. That's the only reason
- 12:15Speaker 1: why people see the difference in us is when they
- 12:18Speaker 1: see God working through us. I could tell you until
- 12:22Speaker 1: I'm bluing a face that I'm a Christian and I
- 12:25Speaker 1: go to church and I'm an evangelist and I do
- 12:28Speaker 1: all these Christian things online, and you can just look
- 12:30Speaker 1: at me like, so what and why would you be impressed?
- 12:34Speaker 1: Why would anybody be impressed by somebody just talking about something.
- 12:38Speaker 1: I'm only impressed in my own opinion and the way
- 12:41Speaker 1: I see it. I'm only impressed with me when God's
- 12:45Speaker 1: working through me. I'm only impressed with you when God's
- 12:48Speaker 1: working through you.
- 12:49Speaker 2: Amen.
- 12:49Speaker 1: Everything else is just surface, everything else is just talk,
- 12:53Speaker 1: everything else is just I'm doing my own thing.
- 12:56Speaker 2: Right. Yeah, you can have money, fame, influence.
- 13:00Speaker 1: It's big right now, right and especially on social media networks,
- 13:04Speaker 1: influence is huge. But if you're not living a life
- 13:08Speaker 1: worth following, if you're not planning your life out according
- 13:12Speaker 1: to the Word of God, then those things are so
- 13:14Speaker 1: temporary and so shallow, and they.
- 13:17Speaker 2: Don't It ain't deep at all.
- 13:20Speaker 1: I want my life to last in a deep level,
- 13:24Speaker 1: that my roots will be coming out from the Word
- 13:27Speaker 1: of God, will be deep into the Word of God,
- 13:30Speaker 1: so that way it'll be lasting fruit.
- 13:32Speaker 2: It'll be something that.
- 13:34Speaker 1: Will last outlast even me in my journey here on
- 13:38Speaker 1: this side of eternity, and will last to the generations
- 13:41Speaker 1: behind me through my children. All Right, I want people
- 13:45Speaker 1: to know this word so much so that they'll follow
- 13:49Speaker 1: it right, the word of God. So Solomon and all
- 13:54Speaker 1: his wisdom. If you read about Solomon, you'll know that
- 13:57Speaker 1: he was a wise man.
- 13:59Speaker 2: He will have peace.
- 14:00Speaker 1: People were coming from all over the world in his
- 14:03Speaker 1: time and give them money for it just to sit
- 14:06Speaker 1: under his teaching, to sit and listen to his wisdom
- 14:09Speaker 1: and understanding. Because when he planned something, those plans came
- 14:13Speaker 1: to pass. What happened to Solomon He started inviting other
- 14:18Speaker 1: women into his life, marrying other women who was serving
- 14:21Speaker 1: other gods, and then he started idolizing their gods just
- 14:25Speaker 1: for them to be okay with him as husband. That
- 14:31Speaker 1: wasn't the plan that God originally intended for Solomon. So
- 14:35Speaker 1: guess what, some things had to happen. Unfortunately for Solomon
- 14:39Speaker 1: that weren't part of wise planning. He wasn't using wisdom,
- 14:44Speaker 1: and he was the wisest man in the world, and
- 14:47Speaker 1: people were coming from all over the world to listen.
- 14:50Speaker 2: To his wisdom.
- 14:51Speaker 1: And get instructions from him, and they were paying him big.
- 14:54Speaker 1: They were giving him gold, silver, on wood stone, precious stones,
- 14:59Speaker 1: all kinds of stuff. And what he would do he
- 15:02Speaker 1: would use those materials and continue to build the House
- 15:05Speaker 1: of the Lord and his palace, which was okay, right,
- 15:09Speaker 1: But then the whole getting married to foreign women, that
- 15:15Speaker 1: was serving foreign gods, that was an issue. That was
- 15:18Speaker 1: a problem. We read about Solomon and man, you'll see
- 15:21Speaker 1: that all through the scriptures. So the Lord gives wisdom,
- 15:27Speaker 1: and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. If we
- 15:31Speaker 1: just had the knowledge of God but we didn't understand, well,
- 15:35Speaker 1: how would that work out? If we didn't have If
- 15:37Speaker 1: we just had understanding but no knowledge, how woul did
- 15:40Speaker 1: that work out?
- 15:41Speaker 2: We need both.
- 15:42Speaker 1: We need knowledge and understanding. Why because in that we
- 15:47Speaker 1: have victory. We'll be found upright in the land of
- 15:51Speaker 1: the living. We won't be found in the land of
- 15:53Speaker 1: the dead. We'll be in right standing with the credited
- 15:57Speaker 1: righteousness that Jesus imputed to us way of his life
- 16:01Speaker 1: and his sacrifice. The father knew that the son was coming.
- 16:06Speaker 1: The son knew that the father empowered him to do
- 16:10Speaker 1: what the son needed to do. And then Jesus knew
- 16:12Speaker 1: that we need to we needed Holy Spirit of God
- 16:15Speaker 1: to live the rest of this life out following him
- 16:18Speaker 1: and being guided and guarded by the wisdom of His Word,
- 16:23Speaker 1: of his Church, of his body, of his people. A man,
- 16:26Speaker 1: we need to follow what the Word says. Now what
- 16:30Speaker 1: the world says. The world does its own thing. Let
- 16:33Speaker 1: the world do what it got to do. It's not
- 16:35Speaker 1: shocking to me how the mockery and the making fun
- 16:39Speaker 1: of the Lord Jesus and the Last Supper of the Olympics,
- 16:42Speaker 1: and it's bothersome and I think is whack, and I
- 16:47Speaker 1: think it's not right. But I seen in the scriptures
- 16:50Speaker 1: that that was coming. And people think they're getting over
- 16:55Speaker 1: you know, we're doing from the time it's recording this,
- 16:57Speaker 1: the biggest outdoor in the whole Northeast is happening.
- 17:01Speaker 2: It's called music Fests.
- 17:02Speaker 1: And we're out there in the Vicinity right needing one
- 17:06Speaker 1: of the entrances, one of the main interesces of music fest,
- 17:09Speaker 1: and we're out there doing a Bible reading marathon. Got
- 17:12Speaker 1: two tents up and we got banners out Shout out
- 17:16Speaker 1: to Michael Hare and men and the people that have
- 17:19Speaker 1: joined him and we're reading the scriptures and people pass
- 17:22Speaker 1: by and they look at us like, wow, look at them.
- 17:25Speaker 2: We feel so bad for them.
- 17:26Speaker 1: No one's listening and they don't have a big crowd,
- 17:29Speaker 1: and what are they selling? And where's the speakers in
- 17:33Speaker 1: the applification there is none. We're giving stuff out, free
- 17:36Speaker 1: water books, reading materials where we're praying, and we're reading
- 17:42Speaker 1: the scriptures. It's not glamorous, right, It doesn't sound like
- 17:46Speaker 1: it's doing anything or it matters. But that was wise
- 17:50Speaker 1: planning on the part of Michael here to listen to
- 17:55Speaker 1: the voice of God, the instructions of God, to do
- 17:57Speaker 1: what he's doing for ten days out there, and by
- 18:01Speaker 1: the time the ten days is over, we would have
- 18:03Speaker 1: already read through the whole entire Bible.
- 18:06Speaker 2: Amen.
- 18:07Speaker 1: We're doing shifts from twelve pm to eight pm, and
- 18:11Speaker 1: in those eight hours of just reading scriptures, we're getting
- 18:14Speaker 1: through it. Man, We're like midway through the Old Testament.
- 18:18Speaker 1: Looks like we got that much. Pages of the Old
- 18:21Speaker 1: Testament already read, combining efforts of brothers and sisters that
- 18:25Speaker 1: just come under the tent, and we just read. That's
- 18:29Speaker 1: why he's planning, that's why it's working, and that's why
- 18:33Speaker 1: brother Mike is getting blessed.
- 18:36Speaker 2: Amen.
- 18:36Speaker 1: And that's why people who stop and listen to what
- 18:39Speaker 1: we're saying and what we're doing, they're getting blessed suit,
- 18:42Speaker 1: because we're speaking of the Word of God, which is life,
- 18:47Speaker 1: not death. We're speaking and reading the Word of God,
- 18:51Speaker 1: which gets people to understand and gives people wisdom and
- 18:55Speaker 1: gives people knowledge of what to do in these times
- 18:58Speaker 1: that we're living in. Amen, Sister joh Wayne, and I
- 19:00Speaker 1: see you. Good morning, God, bless you, God bless you,
- 19:04Speaker 1: and welcome back to the morning Devo. Sister Jordan says,
- 19:08Speaker 1: I'm not receiving a notification when you go live. Yeah,
- 19:11Speaker 1: check your phone, make sure your notifications of Meta or
- 19:15Speaker 1: Facebook are on. But I think I'm back on the
- 19:18Speaker 1: Shadow Band. It was beautiful. I lasted while. I guess
- 19:22Speaker 1: there was a glitchenist in their system, and man, this
- 19:25Speaker 1: thing was cranking out hundreds and hundreds of people and
- 19:28Speaker 1: we were getting a lot more views and listens. But
- 19:31Speaker 1: I think they cranked it right back down again. Amen,
- 19:33Speaker 1: It's part of the deal. Thank you for letting me know.
- 19:36Speaker 1: Kind of figured you weren't getting notifications. I'm kind of
- 19:39Speaker 1: figuring a whole hundreds of people, maybe even thousands of
- 19:42Speaker 1: people are not getting their notifications anymore as well. But
- 19:45Speaker 1: we're here, amen, and I'm just trusting God on how
- 19:49Speaker 1: he wants to reach the people for his sake and
- 19:53Speaker 1: for the Gospel's sake, because I'm just following his plan. Amen,
- 19:57Speaker 1: Thank you for letting me know wise plan. So Solomon
- 20:03Speaker 1: is dropping signs on us and letting us know how
- 20:07Speaker 1: we should be planning things. And there's other scriptures that
- 20:11Speaker 1: say about planning, like James one of Five.
- 20:14Speaker 2: James one of Five.
- 20:15Speaker 1: Says, if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God,
- 20:21Speaker 1: who gives generously so all without finding fault, and it
- 20:26Speaker 1: will be given to him. God's not looking for the
- 20:30Speaker 1: error in us and try to amplify those errors and
- 20:33Speaker 1: be like, listen, I know you're making plans. Ha haha,
- 20:37Speaker 1: it's not going to work unless you follow me. That's
- 20:41Speaker 1: not the God we serve. God will look at our
- 20:43Speaker 1: plans and he'll remind us.
- 20:45Speaker 2: Of his word.
- 20:46Speaker 1: And if we follow his word before we make the plans,
- 20:50Speaker 1: I think things go the right direction. If we make
- 20:53Speaker 1: plans without following his word, like if we go try
- 20:56Speaker 1: to go before God, I think if less by his grace,
- 21:02Speaker 1: it'll work. But I think most of the time, when
- 21:06Speaker 1: I try to go too far ahead of what the
- 21:08Speaker 1: Lord is doing in my life, things go wrong. But
- 21:12Speaker 1: the grace of God Amen holdes me and keeps me
- 21:15Speaker 1: and picks me back up. And I said, oh, yeah,
- 21:18Speaker 1: that wasn't the right direction, that wasn't the right way,
- 21:21Speaker 1: That wasn't the right path. Am I still righteous? Yes,
- 21:24Speaker 1: Jesus says, you're you and I are righteous according to
- 21:27Speaker 1: His purpose and plan for our lives. Are we still saved? Yes,
- 21:31Speaker 1: just because we make a mistake doesn't mean we're not
- 21:34Speaker 1: saved anymore. Will our plans succeed, Yes, they will succeed
- 21:39Speaker 1: according to His plan and purpose for our lives. Everything's
- 21:42Speaker 1: already mapped out for your life and for my life.
- 21:45Speaker 1: Do you realize that God knows the exact number of
- 21:48Speaker 1: days we're going to be here on this side of eternity.
- 21:52Speaker 1: So I try to make every day count for something.
- 21:55Speaker 1: I'm not going to just take a day and not
- 21:58Speaker 1: do nothing in a day. I don't think I've ever
- 22:00Speaker 1: done that since I've been saved. I could get tired, yeah, right,
- 22:05Speaker 1: rest sleep, but I try my best not to sleep
- 22:08Speaker 1: all day. Try my best not to stay lazy. I
- 22:11Speaker 1: try my best to keep moving, keep active. I try
- 22:14Speaker 1: my best to exercise. I try my best to eat
- 22:16Speaker 1: right amen. Try my best to connect with the right people.
- 22:19Speaker 1: I try my best to help other people. Try my
- 22:22Speaker 1: best to be a father, a husband, a son, a man,
- 22:26Speaker 1: a friend, an evangelist, a minister of the gospel, and
- 22:30Speaker 1: a minister of reconciliation.
- 22:33Speaker 2: I try that.
- 22:34Speaker 1: But when I plan things out, to do it the
- 22:36Speaker 1: way I want to do it without consulting the wisdom
- 22:39Speaker 1: of God, without trusting in God's way and plan. Because
- 22:43Speaker 1: the Bible's clear. The Bible says that God's ways are
- 22:47Speaker 1: not like our ways.
- 22:49Speaker 2: Right.
- 22:50Speaker 1: He doesn't plan the way a human plans. He already
- 22:54Speaker 1: has the ultimate plan in his mind, and he's so
- 22:57Speaker 1: willing to let us in on his plan by way
- 23:00Speaker 1: of his word. His thoughts are not like my thoughts.
- 23:03Speaker 1: His plans are not like our plans.
- 23:06Speaker 2: Right.
- 23:07Speaker 1: He has the best way, So follow the path of
- 23:10Speaker 1: the righteous. Everybody else is going in.
- 23:12Speaker 2: The wrong direct.
- 23:13Speaker 1: Can't you tell in this world that the people who
- 23:17Speaker 1: are in this world system, who are following this world system,
- 23:20Speaker 1: can't you tell that they go in the wrong way
- 23:22Speaker 1: should be obvious by now, right and now, people like,
- 23:26Speaker 1: how do you.
- 23:26Speaker 2: Know, isn't that judgmental?
- 23:28Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm judging the path of the unrighteous, just like
- 23:32Speaker 1: God judges the path of the unrighteous, not doing anything
- 23:36Speaker 1: out of the ordinary. I've been on the unrighteous path.
- 23:40Speaker 1: I know where it leads. It leads to destruction. Who
- 23:44Speaker 1: wants that. I don't have time for destruction. You shouldn't
- 23:48Speaker 1: want destruction either over your life. You should want victory.
- 23:52Speaker 1: I want victory. And the victorious path that God lays
- 23:55Speaker 1: out for us is founding the scriptures. A lot of
- 23:58Speaker 1: people say, oh, that's corny. Your Bible is so out
- 24:02Speaker 1: of date, outdated and antiquated, it's not relevant anymore.
- 24:07Speaker 2: Okay, you could get ahead and believe that. I'm gonna
- 24:10Speaker 2: get ahead and believe.
- 24:11Speaker 1: The scripts and follow the scripts all the way from
- 24:14Speaker 1: now until Jesus comes back for me. And if I
- 24:18Speaker 1: what do I have to lose? What do you have
- 24:20Speaker 1: to lose by following the plans and the principles and
- 24:24Speaker 1: the commandments and the ordinances of God through his work.
- 24:28Speaker 2: What are you gonna lose? Nothing?
- 24:30Speaker 1: You're gonna gain what God wants you to have. You
- 24:33Speaker 1: gotta get the wisdom that you ask for from God.
- 24:37Speaker 2: Amen.
- 24:38Speaker 1: Your plans are going to go in the right direction.
- 24:41Speaker 1: You're gonna prosper, You're gonna bear fruit.
- 24:44Speaker 2: Amen.
- 24:45Speaker 1: You're gonna be part of a living body of Christ.
- 24:48Speaker 1: You're gonna be in the Kingdom of God. You got
- 24:50Speaker 1: to be a blessed person. You want to be blessed
- 24:52Speaker 1: that you want to be cursed. First, are these world
- 24:56Speaker 1: system ways. They're full of self selfism, humanism, atheistic views, greed, envy, pride,
- 25:09Speaker 1: all of it. The world is full of it. The
- 25:12Speaker 1: world paints it like it's something beautiful. That's why a
- 25:15Speaker 1: lot of young people were losing them to the culture
- 25:18Speaker 1: because they don't know their identity. Number One, they're following
- 25:21Speaker 1: the trans Number two. Social media is like we're wiring
- 25:25Speaker 1: their brains and they want to be like the next person,
- 25:28Speaker 1: the next influencer, the next famous person that's on tiktop
- 25:32Speaker 1: or any of one of these social media platforms that's
- 25:36Speaker 1: popping out all over the place, and they forget who
- 25:39Speaker 1: they are. Hence, a lot of girls are hiding themselves behind.
- 25:45Speaker 2: Makeup.
- 25:46Speaker 1: A lot of guys are hiding themselves behind drugs and alcohol.
- 25:49Speaker 1: A lot of men and women don't know what their
- 25:53Speaker 1: agenda is because their identity is not clear to them.
- 26:00Speaker 1: Their plans are not working out the way they would
- 26:03Speaker 1: like it to work out. So they're going to others
- 26:06Speaker 1: before they go to God. They going to self help books.
- 26:09Speaker 1: They're going to Eastern religions. They're going to other idols.
- 26:14Speaker 1: They're going to join up with cults and people who
- 26:20Speaker 1: really are not deep. They're going to consult on witches
- 26:26Speaker 1: and psychics because they want to know what's going to happen,
- 26:29Speaker 1: what's the plan for their lives. And they're forgetting the obvious,
- 26:34Speaker 1: the Word of God. They're forgetting the obvious, the God
- 26:36Speaker 1: of the world. They're forgetting the obvious, the God of man.
- 26:39Speaker 1: And they don't want to follow God, but they want
- 26:42Speaker 1: to follow another man. People are ridiculing and making fun
- 26:46Speaker 1: of our Messiah, our Lord Jesus, the Word of God.
- 26:50Speaker 1: Yet they're willing so quickly, willing to follow another man
- 26:54Speaker 1: or another woman, another human being, as if another human
- 26:58Speaker 1: being is not in the same boat that we're all
- 27:01Speaker 1: in here on this side of eternity. Last time I checked,
- 27:04Speaker 1: we were on in the same world. And if you're
- 27:06Speaker 1: from another planet, Jesus is lord over your planet as well.
