Discuss Proverbs 28 Page 2

Ephesians 4:18 - Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:

Matthew 13:14-15 - And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall NOT PERCEIVE.

Proverbs 28:13-14 - He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them, shall have mercy.

Hebrews 3:8 - Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

Mark 8:17 - And when Jesus knew [it], he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?

Exodus 9:12 - And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken unto Moses.

Exodus 7:3 - And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.

Jeremiah 17:9 - The heart [is] deceitful above all [things], and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Hebrews 4:12 - For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

John 12:48 - He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

Mishael : It takes Spiritual Warfare to free a person to hear Gods Word. See sermons on YouTube, about that. See Ephesians 6. Don't let the devil scare you. He knows Jesus stripped him of his authority to steal souls. Watch some Charles Capps videos too so you will understand your authority through the Blood of Jesus.

Great stuff! The only way to start the day after prayer of course.

Absolutely God does know the heart this is why is wrote... Jeremiah 17:9 - The heart is deceitful above all things , and desperately wicked: who can know it? Also Proverbs 28:26 He that trusteth in his own heart is a FOOL: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.

Totally supports your giving commments. Whatever a child of God does ,it must be done unto the Lord. If giving, the

person must give cheerfully. Blessings.

I love looking at scriptures that gives us insight into the personality of our God. Jehovah God encourages us to be generous as he is generous with us. In Satan's system, some people have a lot and some people have not enough. However, if those who have, give generously to those who are "poor" then, it brings out that our repayment comes from God himself and he will not allow us to lack anything. The best repayment comes from God who can gives us anything we desire according to his will. So, this motivates me to be generous as my circumstances allow. I can't support everyone, but I can try to be more generous with my time, energy, and even finances as God allows it.

If you hide your sins you will not succeed. If you confess your sins and reject them you will receive mercy.

New century version of proverbs 28:22 says selfish people are in a hurry to get rich and do not realize they will soon be poor...

New century version of proverbs 28:21 says it is not good for a judge to take sides or show special favoritism , but some will sin for only a piece of bread...

YOU CAN NOT HIDE YOUR SIN FROM THE LORD. HE KNOWS WHO AND WHAT YOU ARE INSIDE AND OUT. WE CAN HIDE WHO WE REALLY ARE FROM OTHER PEOPLE AND PRETEND TO HAVE A REAL SALVATION BUT, NOT THE LORD. THIS SIMPLY MEANS STOP PRETENDING TO BE CHRISTIAN AND GET REAL WITH IT. SADLY MOST SELF PROFESSED OR SO CALLED CHRISTIANS ARE PRETENDING AND JUST PLAYING CHURCH. HOPE THIS HELPS.

Will; When we are convicted of sin; if we are honest and pay attention to our conscience, if we fear God and are sorry for our sins and repent of them; then the Lord will have mercy and cleanse us from all our sins, and give us a new chance at life. But if we harden our hearts and callous over our conscience toward God, and ignore the warnings and conviction, then there is no forgiveness of sins.

Will: One who hides his sin acts like he's doing nothing wrong.

What does it mean, Proverbs 28:13
He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.?

Verse 5~If we seek Jehovah God will can understand everything that is needed to please him. He will help us in our understanding.

"Whoso walks uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once. He that tills his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that follows after vain persons shall have poverty enough." Walking and working like a man made in the image of God and after God's own heart, doesn't allow deviation from what is right and good; but cultivates and works to produce by God's Word.

"Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the Lord understand all things." Jesus said that He has many things to say to us, but that we cannot bear them just yet; that is, until we receive the Holy Spirit, who shall show us all things and guide us into all truth. The only one who wants men to stay stupid and uncapable, is the devil, who lusts after the throne of God, and to kill us.

"A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent." v20. I love this verse because it motivates God's children to be faithful. Secondly, it's an advice to especially young people not to be hasty to be rich. Anyone who makes money hastily would have to cut corners.

It was as a result of their cry and repentance that God sent Gideon to deliver Israel from the hand of the midianites. Sin separate us from God, proverbs 28:1 said the righteous is as bold as a lion. Righteousness is what gives us boldness to confront our enemies.

Frances; You misread it! The Scripture reads: "To have respect OF persons (not, 'for' persons) is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress." Respect of persons means you favor one over another; respect for persons means you treat them with dignity. James chapter 2 shows very well what "respect of persons" means; and further likens it to murder to despise and mistreat the poor.

I did not understand chapter 28:21.To have respect for a person is not good. for for a piece of bread that man will tranpass

God is always faithful to me

Jesus loves all he is crucified for me.

Truely when Yu say He is my shepherd I shall not want.We spend too much time shouting to the devil and some saying back to sender.Yet being righteous makes us say The Lord is my refugee and fortress. Proverbs 28:1 says one's righteousness makes Yu as bold as a Lion but sinners fear and run away from nobody.

If we abide God and his words in our life we have everything we need. We need the Holy Spirit to connect with our Spirit . By the power of the Holy Spirit, his WORDS and his PEACE it passes all UNDERSTANDING. We have God's favour and mercy to enlighten other people's lives. Thank you Jesus for the blood . Teach me to humble myself before you Lord help me to be born again in spirit in my life AMN

God is with us all . but if we are in the wrong place .and are not strong enough . temptation is an d always will be there to help you to submit.

To be bold is not what we think : To be bold is to be strong in God's word in the face of adversity : Not to be bold in the face of people that are our apponet : But to do as God leads , If we are in unbelief we will flee as the wicked !!

Amen

The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the Righteous are BOLD AS A LION, AMEN. Shalom.

The one who turns away from listening to God but then tries to offer a prayer to God is something detestable to Him as verse 9 shows.

V1, is one of my favorite verses in the Bible, i do not have to fear, because i know that I am doing that which is right in the eyes of God and man, and my conscience is clear, I can then be bold as a lion and make my stand for that which is right.

Bill re v 13 I agree up to a point, let me explain. And let me start at the end, God deals in judgement and mercy. A persons conscience will always condem him her especially when one hardens their heart. The Holy Spirit convicts each and every one of us about our own personal predisposition. Christians need to know and remember, flesh was bad when we were non-believers, it's the same now that we're believers, in Christ. And there is now NO condemnation, we are new creatures in Christ. I'm just encouraging people to be blameless across the board in their daily life. God bless you all for we are His kin, tasked to love one another, amen.
