Discuss Proverbs 2 Page 2

Hi Nancy, since I wrote to you on this matter, I will respond again. As we know, that "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." ( John 4:24). That is, God in His Essence is a Spiritual Being without a body as we know. And in His fullness, He has shown to us His Word & His Spirit that are Him & proceed from Him. The Word we know was given a Body for the purposes of bringing God's Message to His people & to lay down His Life for mankind ( John 1:1-14; 3:16). God's Spirit was sent out of God's Being to accomplish His Purposes on Earth, including the indwelling of the believer, returns back to God when God's Will has been fully accomplished on Earth.

Even though I can't give you any clear Scripture to show God withdrawing His Spirit back into Himself, we have to surmise in our understanding of all of revealed Scripture we have, that as God sends out His Word & His Spirit, He must also withdraw them when His Work is done. Romans 8:26,27 tells us that the Holy Spirit helps us in our prayers, when we are ignorant on how to pray or what to pray. And it says that the Spirit helps us by lifting our 'deficient, uninformed' prayers to the Father, with His 'groans' or 'utterances' which we don't perceive. This the Spirit does because of His constant connection to the Godhead (as even Jesus had & enjoyed on Earth), & He is well able to translate our prayers into valid utterances that conform to the Will of God. But there are times that we ask (from the flesh) outside of God's Will (see James 4:3) & our prayers go no further than our ceiling.

So when the Spirit returns to God at the appointed time, we can't conclude that the Spirit will not again be sent out to fulfil another purpose of God. Where we fail in our understanding is that, since as humans we can't do what God does, so we conclude, that God can't do it either. Just as our spirits return to God Who gave it ( Ecclesiastes 12:7), so will His Holy Spirit return to the Godhead.

>The Holy Spirit is eternal just as the Father and Jesus, the Son of Man. (Which he is called in the Book of Revelation)

>He will still be involved with those that are born again after the Rapture and all through the Tribulation.

>During the time of The Two Witnesses.

>His Ministry in Jerusalem, many people will be saved. Also by the 144,000 evangelists. Angels.

>God is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance.

2 Timothy 4:5

But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, DO THE WORK OF AN EVANGELIST, and make full proof of thy ministry.

1 Corinthians 3:13

Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

1 Corinthians 3:14

If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

1 Corinthians 3:15

If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

Hebrews 6:10

For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

1 Corinthians 15:58

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

Evangelism may not be taught in your Church, but it was always in the Bible. You have a "testimony " of how you came to believe in Jesus; and that is enough to get someone else's name in the Lambs Book of Life.

Now is a perfect time to witness to others their need to choose Jesus and accept forgiveness and eternal life.

It's not about rewards. It's about saving souls.

Thank you for answering the question I had regarding the Holy Spirit. Now if He doesn't have a body in Heaven what happens to Him since He is an eternal member of the God head? When He is no longer needed on earth? Thank you for even bothering to respond. Nancy.

I'm in need of a prayer request for cami my supervisor for God to remove her she been nothing but mean to me im new and she didn't wanna train but God had an angel an employee who isn't a supervisor to train me cami has ran two employees away because she is bully this has to stop I want to feel comfortable she makes smart remarks all day about me and also I would love for me to get promoted because I have caught on in two weeks so for recognition as well God sent me here for a reason.

I need a prayer to lead me back to my faith for my abusive husband and protection of my child

Familiar Spirits follow families; even old relationships. They're like demonic spies. They dangle memories that are painful, that you want to forget. If necessary ask that past persons forgiveness.

Today is the day of rescue and salvation from this spiritual warfare. You need to confess any sin(s) and receive Gods forgiveness over the past. Ask God to break all curses over you from that time to today.

In 1 John 1:9, it's best to stay current for things we do, but wish we had not done or said them. The Holy Spirit works inside of our conscience to let us know that's one we need to pray and be released from.

Reading the Bible, New Testament books will help us to side step the pits we fall over sometimes. You can listen to the Bible in your car driving to work, on Youtube; on your phone.

Our flesh leads us astray often. Bible reading stops that. I pray that you will follow Jesus and be a disciple to lead others to light and freedom. Jesus is the Light of the World. Amen.

If a Christian had fallen into the trap of a strange woman years before and now has spiritual problems, what should he do?

1:20-21; 2:2-4; 3:14-18; 4:7-8; 8:1-36 and 9:1-12. Each time wisdom speaks. The first time wisdom speaks is in Proverbs 1:20-21.

Wisdom shouts in the street,

She lifts her voice in the square;

At the head of the noisy streets she cries out;

At the entrance of the gates in the city she utters her sayings: Proverbs 1:20-21 (NASB)

The Hebrew word for wisdom is hakmot and this noun is a feminine plural. A literal reading would seem to be "Wisdom shouts in the street," except that the second line is in the singular - "she lifts her voice." F. C. Cook writes,

In the Hebrew the noun is a feminine plural . . . as though this Wisdom were the queen of all wisdoms, uniting in herself all their excellences.[1]

That is, since Proverbs 2:6 says that God gives wisdom, the wisdom in Proverbs is the queen of all wisdoms. There is no greater wisdom.

For the LORD gives wisdom;

From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;

He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;

He is a shield to those who walk uprightly . . . Proverbs 2:6-7 (NKJV)

Why Is Wisdom A Woman?

Why did Proverbs personify wisdom as a woman? The answer is we do not know because Scripture never tells us. However, many have speculated why wisdom is personified as a woman by suggesting different ideas, but we are never told. The explanations are merely speculation. It is wrong to state that Proverbs is written from a father to his son and then suggest that wisdom is personified as feminine in order to make wisdom appear attractive to the son when Proverbs 5:15-20 warns men to avoid prostitutes. Such a conclusion is contrary to the teaching of Scripture.

Others suggest that wisdom is feminine because the Hebrew word is assigned the feminine gender. But this conclusion is wrong since the grammatical structure clearly refers to a female such as in Proverbs 3:13-15 and 9:1.

Google this question. Mishael

The writer of Proverbs was lead by God Himself to write this great book. If people would take the time to read it several times a year, the world would be a better place. I love this book and others in the KJV. Thank you.

I really like this comment and agree with it.

A treasure map directly from Jehovah, GOD. We must correctly follow this map to find these earthly Treasures-Of-GOD. Whosoever willing to follow this MAP-Of-GOD guides oneself to the Blessings during ones life on earth. Though not mention in this chapter, this same MAP-Of-GOD will further guides one to John 3:16-21, ones HEAVENLY-TREASURE which is the greatest treasure of all treasures.

If u can dream u can do it!!!

Not understanding Proverbs 2: 3

If you dont know or are not sure. Ask HIM. But be prepared for the answer when it comes. Too many people dont like answers that dont fit in the box they keep God in.

It seems wisdom is not an agressive tool. It's presence tempers passions and increases the capacity to understand and empathize. Defending your knowledge and weaponizing it against others makes it difficult to receive the lessons God has tailored for your soul. Arrogance in your intelect is a posion to your heart and soul. It creates a condition that denies God's influence.

Common Sense and Wisdom do Go together. One without The Other May Keep You Going to The ER. The Rest of Us Dying with Laughter. We All have that Reaction Sometimes, it's Automatic. I was Guilty a Few Times had to Ask Forgiveness for Laughing/ Proverbs 2:6 For The LORD giveth Wisdom: Out of His Mouth Cometh Knowledge and Understanding. Wisdom is Found All through Proverbs. Read 1 Chapter Daily.

God requires us to acquire wisdom from reading the bible. the psalmist tells us that it is through reading the bible and following its message that a youth can straighten his path*

Steve morrow what version of the kjb did your comment come from I like the wording of it better than this one it is easier to understand

The thing it's saying to me print God's word in our hearts buy our ear hearing and speaking of God's words in knowledge and wisdom that hear and listen to his words and we print them in our hearts and that a wicked person will be cut out of God's kingdom they will not inherit his kingdom and they will be cut off from God's kingdom and left on the ground meaning they will be left to die and cast

Proverbs I've read numerous times an every time I read it I gain more wisdom. An out of that wisdom comes strength, hope and courage.

One of the greatest thing about the book of Proverbs, is that it was written in a manner that all ppl who read it could understand it.
King Solomon, had many of the teachings from his father, who received wisdom and knowledge from God.
This book is capable of making anyone who read it WISE. So it is in today's society, anyone who reads it and seek wisdom to understand it from God, will benefit.

We must tune our ears into the godly wisdom found in the Bible.

Proverbs 2:6 For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. The Spirit of Christ brings glad tidings to the poor, healing to the broken in heart, liberty for those crushed under cruelty and oppression, and proclamation of a better Country and a Day of Eternal Righteousness to come. To those who are of the truth, the light springing up in their darkness is the glory of God and salvation but to the rest who hate the light, it is the doom of God's rejection. To Jesus' friends and neighbors in Nazareth it was an offense that someone they thought they knew for thirty years could dare to announce the Glad Tidings of God's salvation with authority. What then sets them in a fury to kill Him, is when He puts His finger directly on their unfitness and rejection of God because of their over familiarity and unbelief. Just like Israel in Elijah and Elisha's times, the people were calloused over in their hearts against the LORD, and had all but forsaken Him for the gods of the heathen so God rejected their widows and lepers and gave the blessing and the healing to strangers who appreciated it. So it is with all knowledge of God's holy things: to those who have shall more be given but to those who have not, even what they have shall be taken away from them.

The lord in good times and bad times will let us know what to do or what to say, He will open our mind to understand and to make the right desicion'

Verses 11 and 12: When we have divine wisdom deep within us, we will be safeguarded from the many bad paths in this world and from those who speak twisted things.

Vs 21 talks about possessing our territories, preservation and long life for the upright. The bible is sweet.

God and his word is ALWAYS two separate things. Numbers 11:23] And the LORD said unto Moses, Is the LORD's hand waxed short? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not. Psalm 107:20] He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. Proverbs 2:[1] My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;"

Dear Ann; I always find it so uplifting and strengthening to be in the Proverbs! Read carefully the introduction in the opening verses: this was Solomon's great longing, that he answered to the LORD in his dream: to be able to feed the people with knowledge and understanding and God's wisdom, like David his father. God sure gave him his request! And such amazing truth to guide us in all our Life!

I just want to get myself back on track so I decided to start back in PROVERBS to line bCK UP WITH the word of God I know it will help me
