Discuss Proverbs 27 Page 2

Book of Joel, Chapter 2

28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your DAUGHTERS shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

29 And also upon the servants and upon the HANDMAIDS in those days will I pour out my spirit.

Large scale or small scale; people are waking out of their slumber, to preach the return of Jesus. IT IS NOT useful to criticize the preachers gender. I the past , God has even used donkeys or asses to get HIS WORD out to its intended.

We are to encourage each other!! Not strip us down to bones so we become useless. People are falling over like dominoes every day because, where are the encouragers?

It was Mary Magdalene who snapped the Disciples out of their fears and encouraged them to Go See For Yourselves: HE IS RISEN!!!

If you cannot be an encourager to those WHO WILL, GO YE.... go hide in your house with your Bible that has quit speaking to you.

But Jesus would say, be healed, be re-filled and anointed anew with the power of the Holy Spirit; to carry the Gospel and encourage others to join you.

Jesus talked to one outcast Samaritan woman (Gentile) and in the conversation told her of all the secrets of her life. She runs to her village and testifies what happened, and they all run back to Jesus to meet this man of GOD. It says the entire town got born again.

God is doing a brand new thing now. Keep your eyes on him, and let your opinions go. DO what Jesus is doing.

You were supposed to answer using bible references for me to be satisfied. And am really sorry that you mention someone whom when we compare with the word , at a given point she may have gone out of the word. Eg divorce and Malachi 2:13-14 God is against it and she has committed it

No. Joyce Meyer teaches at women's conferences; men are welcome there too.

Our nation is rapidly trying to bust hell wide open. What is wrong with people called of God (not man), teaching the Word of God?

If we were reading our Bibles like we are supposed to, anyone could sniff out heresy!

Look.... in heaven we're going to be like the angels. No dating, no marriage; carnal nature Gone!!

I'm going to tell Bible stories, Mishael-style.

Is it wrong for a woman to preach in the pulpit?

There is one scripture that describes you: cheerful. Which is very rare to encounter these days. You show yourself to be blessed.

Romans Chapter 12

6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;

7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;

8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, WITH CHEERFULNESS.

9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

Mishael

Hi I see it a little different as if to say a peer or mentor helps or sharpen one abilities or help someone whoms depressed and a smile/countance will appear which will also benifet you I bit like karate kid or a simple as a good morning have a nice day.

I have heard the term:"brother sharpeneth brother" many times over the years: in baptist circles. It is used as the reason for brethren, to go around and point out each other's faults. Very hurtful and self righteous attitude. But that is not the meaning of the passage at all. Notice...... it says "a man sharpens the countenance of his friend". There can be a huge difference between a brother and a friend. We have about 100 folks in our church. I care about all of them, they are all my brothers and sisters in Christ; but only a handful of them would I consider my friend. If my friend comes to me to share something hard to take; I am still going to listen because he is my friend and has my best interests at heart. "Brother sharpeneth Brother is an unbiblical teaching that turns Christians into fault finders.

Amen two agree Matt 18:19 ALLELUIA, thanks Holy *FATHER* of our *LORD JESUS*! Philippians 1:9 to 12 kjv is a great daily prayer too. Dont you just love 1 John 5:14,15,16 assurance, and Jude 20 our hiding and strengthening place. *G* B U.

Father God, thank you for thy grace and mercy as we seek salvation, wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Give it unto us that are seeking our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the will to walk in, Your will Your way, nothing more nothing less and to do so daily. Though not yet perfected my love for you Lord, I don't ever want to be without you again. Please open the eyes of the lost and those that think ourselves found. In Jesus Christ name I pray. Amen

That scripture refers to Psalm 12:2. You should read all of Psalm 12. It might make more sense. ( open the links)

1 Corinthians 14:33

For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

James 3:16

For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

Since it shows a situation of no peace; strife; every evil work...I'm thinking Satan is at work in these situations. He comes to steal, kill, destroy. His mandate.

People who are not born again are at the bidding of Satan.

People fight about all the wrong things. If we open a door, the devil and his demonic hoards will come in and wreck lives, families, health, marriages, steal your children away; and lots more.

We can see in Ephesians 6 (open this link)

That we have permission to fight back, and send the demonic into outer darkness.

I've gone through so much spiritual warfare it just turns my focus into radar. It makes me happy satan is going to be locked up a 1000 years and the on to hell eternally.

If you don't know that much go on YouTube. Lots of spiritual warfare preachers, praise God. Point is: get up off the floor and fight back at the source of evil.

I was stalked 3 years over 3 states. I quit running; turned to face the evil and sent that person running at a high rate of speed.

Hate sin, Love God.

When Good advice ( hidden) is accompanied by evil confusion, how can this possibly be from God?

Hi Js, I have found the KJV to be more accurate than the newer Translations they have even contredicted qqGod's Truth which if wanted I will share some with you. Just because it's New dosen't mean it's better or even as good, they say If it works don't fix it! Pride yes if we are bragging about how good we are but we don't have to be sad when we achieve or compare ourselves to others Galations 6.

The new century version of proverbs 27:2 says dont praise yourself let someone else do it. Let the praise come from a stranger, not from your own lips...and the new international version says let the praise come from an outsider.....

I believe that if we would pray more, and talk less, things will be a lot better for everyone concerned. My heart is heavy for those who have no hope. If one Proverb is read daily, your walk will be much more GODLY.

I believe the book of proverbs is so necessary to continue read and get wisdom,knowledge but mostly understanding

"Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured" LORD give me grace to wait on you through life that I may be honoured in your kingdom eternally.

Upon reading this Proverb, reminds me of where I was when I called upon Jesus to help me in this life and keeps me humble.

Boast thyself not for tomorrow you may know not what tomorrow may bring forth. Thank you Jesus for reminding me please help me to be humble and speaks your words to enlighten others. Amen thank you for the blood you shed for us Abba Father

Verse 11: we each have a chance to show whose side we support. We can make Jehovah God’s heart rejoice by giving him our wholehearted support and worship.

"Though you should grind a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him." While the good and righteous want to give every opportunity to the evildoers to clear themselves; at some point the wicked must be judged for their crimes? So long as the lawless are allowed to continue unrestrained, so long will they not change. Kindness is to them, a weakness!

Irene 123, Proverbs 27:2 "a stranger" is not specific to one that is not saved.

vs 8, A man's "place" is to remember he is created in God's image

This is a strong words given by God. We have to remember that God is in control in our life we have to hand over everything to Jesus hands for he is our savior, our peace, our provider, our healer, our helper, our deliverer, our salvation Jehovah our righteousness. Only thru Jesus we will receive life in abundance. He is our FUTURE. Its a WILL OF GOD TO BLESS US AND HEAL US COZ HE LOVES US

"Nevertheless we made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them." Nehemiah 4:9

You do not know what shall be on the morrow. You may make plans , but be flexible enough to go a different route for that day. Never face your day untill you have had alone time with God our Father to direct our path. Then you will have the Grace to meet what is ahead and know what to do.

Verse 2 encourages us to let other people praise us and for us not to fall into the snare of self-praise.

Verse 21 shows that the way we react when we receive praise can be a test of whether we are humble or proud. If we are not careful, praise can develop with in us feelings of superiority or pride.

This chapter teaches me that know matter how much God does for us; we are still ungrateful. We are just like the Isarealites who murmur and complain against God after all he has done for us. Like Proverbs 27:30 states, "hell and destruction are never full, and so the eyes of men are never satisfied."

Verses 5,6: sometimes we are afraid to share with someone we care about what they are doing wrong for fear of rejection, but we are doing them more harm by our silence. We need to for the opportunity then share what it maybe then pray some more and step back let God be God. If they don't listen you have done your part to watch out for their good.

Proverbs 27:2 causes me to search myself to see if I have fallen into the habit of self promotion. I am certain I have from time to time. This scripture leads me to ask the Lord to forgive me, seek wisdom and repent.
