Proverbs, Chapter 18

18:1 He who separates himself seeks [his own] desire, And rages against all sound wisdom.

18:2 A fool has no delight in understanding, But only that his heart may reveal itself.

18:3 When the wicked comes, there comes also contempt, And with ignominy [comes] reproach.

18:4 The words of a man's mouth are [as] deep waters; The wellspring of wisdom is [as] a gushing brook.

18:5 To respect the person of the wicked is not good, [Nor] to turn aside the righteous in judgment.

18:6 A fool's lips enter into contention, And his mouth calls for stripes.

18:7 A fool's mouth is his destruction, And his lips are the snare of his soul.

18:8 The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, And they go down into the innermost parts.

18:9 He also who is slack in his work Is brother to him who is a destroyer.

18:10 The name of Yahweh is a strong tower; The righteous runs into it, and is safe.

18:11 The rich man's wealth is his strong city, And as a high wall in his own imagination.

18:12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty; And before honor [goes] humility.

18:13 He who gives answer before he hears, It is folly and shame to him.

18:14 The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; But a broken spirit who can bear?

18:15 The heart of the prudent gets knowledge; And the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.

18:16 A gift of man makes room for him, And brings him before great men.

18:17 He who pleads his cause first [seems] just; But his fellow man comes and searches him out.

18:18 The lot causes contentions to cease, And parts between the mighty.

18:19 A brother offended [is harder to be won] than a strong city; And [such] contentions are like the bars of a castle.

18:20 A man's belly will be filled with the fruit of his mouth; With the increase of his lips he will be satisfied.

18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue; And those who love it will eat its fruit.

18:22 Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing, And obtains favor of Yahweh.

18:23 The poor uses entreaties; But the rich answers roughly.

18:24 He who has many companions [does it] to his own destruction; But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

Our God is a mighty God and we should trust Him more than ever. He will never leave us nor forsake us.  Oh I am so alone...some people say.  They told me I am ugly.  Others are  telling us. My hunsband left me for another woman and now I do not know what to do.  Get on your knees. Pray, fast, cast the devil out.  He is trying to make you miserable. Jesus will give you the victory. He wants us all to be happy, enjoy life and have peace in our hearts. The devil want us angry, frustrated, alone and forsaken. The name of Yahweh is strong tower. The righteious runs into it and  is safe.  Prov. 18.10  Let us start running towards God. He will protect you from the devils temptations.

Any true lasting relationship must be based on grace, Amen. A marriage must be based on grace, as well as friendships. No marriage will last unless the couple are friends! You wife/husband should be your best friend.

God made us to need one another. (( need to exercise biblical grace and love one to another ))

Each of us needs the others. It is important in our families, friendship and in our church.

Thank you for posting Proverbs

He that abideth in Me and I in him. The same bringeth much fruit. John 15.5 Lord Jesus allow me to abide in your holy presence at all times. Praising and adoring your holy name. You are the fountain of life and the hope of redemption of our souls. Come to us and save us please. Save our cities, towns and everyone that lives in the country side. We are Yours Lord Jesus. We want to bring much more fruit of souls that are getting saved. Please bring all unbelievers, agnostics, renegades and backsliders to church and get saved before the second coming of the Lord Jesus. Fill us with the power of the Holy Spirit we pray. Bless our pastors and Sunday school teachers. Be with each one of them right now and send anointing to their preaching, teaching and meditation. The name of Yahweh is strong tower. Prov. 18.10 The righteous run into it and it is save. Blessed Lord, we are coming to your holy presence. Protect us from all kinds of temptations and sin. We run to You when we are lost and have gone too far away from you. Be with us please this Sunday and bless each one of us.

What a privilege to read Gods word in this page. Thanks a lot for posting such a wonderful chapeter of Proverbs. We must obey Gods word and serve Him with our whole heart is my desire.

 

[Randolph]

Let us all pray for all false apostles, deceitful workers, disguiser themselves as workers of God. Dear Jesus save their souls of all scammers and liers. Clean their souls please and bring all of them to church and get saved and be filled with the power of God to cast out all devils that torment them and make them do evil. Please God hear our prayers. Before destruction the heart of man is haughty. Prov. 18.12  Sin will destroy any soul that is one of the reason why we should pray for the scamers and the impostors who try to get money from evangelists, preachers and those who are working for God. Save the souls of sinners we pray in Jesus name. Amen

All the forces of darknes will not stop God working in your life. I have been experiencing strange things happen. People have left our church for no reason. They have heart gossip and they believed a lie. Only God can change the heart of all those who talk about other peoples lives. Instead of talking about someones elses problems, let us all start praying for them. May be God is trying their faith and need prayers and suplication to Him. If you hear about someones going through a rough time. Start praying for that person. God will hear you and heal that person. The heart of the prudent gets knowlege. Proverbs 18.15 May God give us knowlege on how to deal with problems in our churc and start fasting and praying for those who in trouble.

If you have your health in good condition and you can see, hear and eat well then you are blessed by the Lord Jesus.  If you have someone to love like your parents, your spouse, your children and everyone else at church then you are blessed by God. Fall on your knees and thank God for everything He has give you so far. Because if your health is not good then you cannot even atend church. If you do not have a family then you feel so lonely and forsaken. Listen to the voice of God. I will bless you when you are in the country side, in the city, in town wherever place you go, I will be with you always. Even to the end of the age. The spirit of man will sustain his infirmity. Prov. 18.14a  God has given us His Spirit to be temples of the Holy Ghost. Let us uphold Him in praise and honor all the days of our lives.

Offer unto God thanksgiving, and pay thy bows to the most High. Psalm 50.14 As we come to the house of the Lord Jesus we should be thankful for our health. We have eyes to see and read the word of God. We have our mouth to praise and honor Him. We have our arms and legs to be used by God and serve others. Feeding the hungry, clothing the naked and doing good to others who need to see and hear the word of God. Prov. 18.21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue. And those who love it will eat its fruit. Let us be careful how we use our tongue. God is telling us to use it carefully. If we use our mouths to bless, to teach Sunday school, to read the bible to an elderly person in a nursing home, to praise and honor God at all times we shall be blessed greatly. We certainly will eat the fruit of our gratefulness to God and being a channel of blessing to others. Dear God, please use us for your glory and honor today and forever. Amen

Be quiet before the Lord when you enter into His holy presence.  Seek His face and let go of distractions that the devil set up on your way.  Hear the voice of the Lord and follow His instructions. He speaks in still small voice and sometimes He speaks through other people like your pastor, your closest friend and even your foe will say something that will wake you up and remember that God uses all kinds of vessels to make His promises known to us.  Let us all pray for all our foes if we got any, for the unsaved, the evolutionist and all the agnostics. They really need God right now.  When the wicked comes, There comes also contempt. Proverbs 18.3  We shoud pray for all the wicked people we meet. The devil loves to use them to make us angry and loose our patience. Keep in mind that the spirit of the wickedness is all around that is one reason Jesus told us to be in prayer constantly and in comunion with God the Father. Just as He did.

The spirit of man will sustain his infirmity. Prov. 18.14  If you are sick and need to see a doctor then it is very important to pray and ask all the brothers and sisters to intercede to God for you. Your spirit is in contact with the Holy Spirit who is the healer and the giver of life. Let us all pray for those who are ill in spirit and in physical pain. We are supossed to visit the sick and pray for them. A lot of people in the hospitals are so lonely and need to see someone who can pray for them and read the word of God. Let us all be channels of blessing in which God is at work even in the middle of our pain.
