Proverbs Chapter 18 Discussion Page 4

(Through desire)means- through wanting something very much or willing to do something. (A man having separated himself) means- separated himself from the things or influence of the world. This is the meaning of the word Holiness, when the Bible say's God is Holy it is saying He is Separate. The wisdom of the world is not God's Wisdom and to find the wisdom of God one must turn his back on worldly things and worldly wisdom to actually be able to see Godly Wisdom.(Seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom)means- desparately searching and looking to find wisdom, to intermingle with its knowledge. How could bible schollers have missed this. I think maybe they revere man's wisdom as more valuable than True Wisdom which comes from God, instead of the world.

God has given us a wonderful treasure that's our mouth. Then those that knows the value always benefit from its products.

I agree with Darells comment also, well said !!

The name of Lord is a strong tower in which only righteous man can run into and safe. meaning that, before you step into this house you have to know this Name, received Him and accept him as your Lord and saviour.so after take all necessary step you are now entitle to run into this strong build so that you can safe.

@Darrell, I completely agree with you

The name that has the power to do all things, it gives joy, strength, success, comfort, security and life. this name has liberated me and made me something out of nothing, I shall bow to it for rest of my life. GLORY BE JESUS CHRIST THE LORD OF HOSTS. I LOVE U MASTER.

I believe in Christ Jesus the Lord, that there is no name given among men that is greater and powerful than Jesus Christ the Lord, he is the head of all principality, and if you believe in HIM his fulness dwells in you.

THE BIBLE IS THE ONLY WAY FOR ME IT IS ALWAY RIGHT AND WILL ALWAY'S TAKE ME DOWN THE RIGHT PATH IN LIVE. [GOD BLESS TO ALL]

I cam across this scripture in a Watchtower article about Divorce. I really liked what it had to say about being careful of not being too discouraged that you withdraw from everyone. It also brought out that associating with friends and family, and seeking their support is important.

There is a Bible verse for everything.

Humility is the Key. We must watch ourselves from allowing ourselves to become prideful, cause we can't have both; one cancels out the other; So again I say: HUMILITY IS THE KEY!

I had teouble understanding this verse at first but now I get it, thank you brother Harry. Laziness is brother to destruction in that when you don't take care of things they become neglected and thus eventually are destroyed. For example: if a kid has a toy and never puts it away in the toybox like he/she should, the toy could get stepped on or kicked. Thus the toy suffers the same damage as it would from the child's brother who just throws it down the stairs. Neglect is nearly as bad as abuse.

I have always believed in His name as my shield, tower, protector, it has been working, and it'z still working. JESUS, that's a wonderful name to the glory of God the Father.

We are given a name which is above all other names;that at the mention of the NAME every other POWER shall BOW (JESUS).

He who separates himself seeks his own desire, and goes away from all sound wisdom. In the Garden of Eden after the fall, man is tempted with the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life, and these are the areas of desire that cause men to go away from sound wisdom. The fear of the Lord is to depart from evil, and not be wise in thine own eyes. The Holy Spirit directs a man to seek the Lord, and to walk in His ways. Hear O man what God does require of thee: to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk in humility before the Lord.

The name of lord is the way to move and go forward, because at the mention of that name NO mountain and power can stand and prosber.the name of JESUS.

I really like what it say's in proverbs 18:22

VERSE 1---NOT SURE IF I READ THIS CORRECTLY: THROUGH DESIRE--AS IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN-TEMPTATION?? HAVING SEPARATED HIMSELF--DOES THIS MEAN SEPARTING HIMSELF FROM GOD??? SEEKETH AND INTERMEDLETH WITH ALL WISDOM--DOES THIS MEAN HAVING KNOWLEGE OF GOOD AND EVIL?

This verse states that it's good to be married. Today's emphasis on individual freedom is misguided. Strong individuals are important but strong marriages are too. God created marriage for our enjoyment, and he pronounced it good. So marriage is a good and enjoyable creation of Gods. Check out Gen. 2:21-25, Prov. 5:15-19 and John 2:1-11... so much more knowledge.

I think that Proverbs 18:24 is more of hands on scripture telling you that brotherhood is good.

Words are spirit and have powers. So you were created to have dominion by your words. Thus, for a prophetic word, You will eat from the fruit of your lips. You can perceive with your heart and speak with your mouth. It is important for us individual to be swift to hear and slow to speak.

If a man having Earthly friends must show himself friendly to maintain loving relationships; How much more rewarding is it if you show yourself friendly to Jesus in daily fervent and effectual prayer? He is the friend who sticketh closer than a brother; this means He knows you better than your closest relative; and you can show yourself friendly to him by spending time with him in prayer. A little talk with Jesus makes it right. All right!

The name is greater than every other names you could ever think of, you can go anywhere you wish, you can turn around the whole world with the name JESUS and be SAFE.

God saw that everything he had done was good. There were peace beauty and harmony! This is what the good God speaks of, so a good wife must or should represent grace for her husband, an undeserved favour. Does she/he love Jesus truly? Does she/he brings peace for you? If yes then you can marry.

Can someone explain this verse to me? What is God's intention for this verse? My mom takes this verse and runs with it. Every time I meet a guy she wants to know who approached who.

No work, no eat! JESUS said that we would have to work, and by our sweat and work we would eat...SLOTHFULNESS breeds addictions, and I believe that charitable services ie disability checks can be seriously taken for granted.

He that finds a wife, finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the Lord. I thank God, that He picked my wife for me, and provided me just the type of wife that I needed. A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband's head. Just as God said it is not good for man to be alone, so He made a helpmeet for Adam. Therefore, shall a man leave father, and mother then shall he cleave unto his wife. Before you can cleave to your wife, you must leave father, and mother. This has been a struggle for many couples today. A cord of three shall not be broken. God first, your wife, and then your family. Wait on the Lord, be of good courage, and He will provide that wife that you need. Thank God for His favor, and it is good to both hope, and wait on the Lord.

I MUST SPEAK JESUS`S WORDS of LIFE.
