Proverbs Chapter 9 Discussion Page 2

On the subject of the fear of the Lord: easily understood is having the deepest respect for Him and all His ways. Our God is a consuming fire. He is a jealous God, not to be mocked. Don't be concerned of a person that can take your life, but be VERY concerned with Him that not only cantake your life, but can banish you to hell. He demands the deepest respect, which is the fear of the Lord.

On the subject of fearing God; I've heard many apologizing and trying to deny that our fear should be of dread and terror, like the word really means; but instead water down the meaning to some vague conviction of "hurting God's feelings." But anyone who really knows what its like to be in life danger, or ready to perish for his sins; knows the FEAR of falling into the hands of the living God.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. v10

Both Wisdom vs 4 and Foolish vs 16 cry out to the same person to come in. Wisdom, our divine spiritual imagination and Foolishness, our own sense realm, beckon our attention. One leads to life and understanding and one to death and destruction. Choose this day whom ye shall serve. I set before thee life and death, blessing and cursing. The ongoing human struggle.

It teaches a Women how to examine her ro live in the Obedience to God. We must acknowledge that only what we do doe God will be counted for.

V. 8 is referring to a 'wise' man who is walking in the 'light' of the Word of God; he has God's spirit in him and therefore has God's love for souls and will welcome any correction from a fellow Christian in that walk - so he will be right with God. He won't feel condemned if the correction is given gently in the spirit of God's love.

I like Gina's comment on Pro. 9:12 - 11/30/'14 .....

Proverbs 9:13-18 to me mean a choice before me : better if we walk the path of wisdom or bitter the path of folly. I called these paths brain tracks. The names that follows each track are name of spirits.
1. Sonship/Daughtership
Offence>Forgiveness >Mercy>Grace>Love
2. Orphan aka Folly
Offence>Unforgiveness>Resentment >Bitterness >Revenge >Slander or Murder or Stealing

I love the verses everyday I share them with pictures from the scriptures

Not only hearers of the Word but doers if the word.

Anonymous. Pray to God to help you to forgive

Life Teaching

As I grow in Christ, it is truly a grand experience. Intellectual knowledge has no comparison when it comes to the wisdom that comes from above. I have learnt to separate the two.

I have a problem forgiving, and i know it's not what God want from me.Help me!

When Jesus was teaching inside the church people who believe in him they are listening to his words. In our life believing Jesus and to have FAITH IN HIM IS ONLY BY HEARING THE WORD IF GOD. Without hearing the word if God its impossible to please him. THE FEAR IF THE LORD IS THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM; AND THE KNOWLEDGE OF HOLY IS UNDERSTANDING. AMEN

Jackson; do you sell the word of God in your school, or do you give it freely?

Do you hear what Wisdom is saying. ? Become an Overcomer and receive grace! Jiolas School of Righteousness coming soon In the SPRING of 2016 Founder Brother Jackson

I concur,

"He who has an ear let him hear what Spirit is saying to the Church of Christ's."

Temptation is everywhere, and God is telling us how to use Wisdom in not being tempted by foolish people, things, and ways. Really doing the right thing (righteousness) by living by God's Word, so we can go home to be with the Lord, and we will hear Him say "well done my good and Faithfull servant." As I read the book of Proverbs, I am gaining new Wisdom, and renewing my Wisdom.

This is an enlightening chapter of symbolism of wisdom and the key to a healthy life. I am writing a book on Proverbs

He who has an ear let him hear what Spirit is saying to the Church of Christ's

Proverbs chapter 9 enlightens christians that to fear the Lord and learn of His statues will allow the Lord to prolong your life. The Lord warns all christians to be aware of the temptations of the deception from the enemy. The Lord informs christians that the trap is death and all those who have gone before you are already destined in hell. The Lord is saying if we truly want wisdom, it is ready and available and we do not have to seek hard for it.

Alain Akuchu, can you help me understand what does difficulties of life and trials have to do with the fruits of the spirit.

God has giving us instruction, to live by him, so that we can be prepared to go home, when it is time, So we all have to get our spirits right,if you don 't listen to me, why should l pay you any attention, to you, because You just want to do what you want, tell you what , when you are ready to listen to me, my child l will give you what your heart desires.

Temptations will always be there. The free will that God has given us,will either have us hear the Holy spirit to guide us or give into the temptation and the consequences that follow.

I think it presence us also to the fruits of the spirit when faced with difficulties of life and trials too.

The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. Let us fear god and be wise so that we will be able and ready to accept corrections in order to be prepared for his soon coming.

A wise man will hear, and will increase learning and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: Proverbs 1:5

What more is wiser than to have a secure eternity. What more is more foolish than to plan just for this life and be damned to Hell eternally?

The fear of the Lord is to have a reverential trust in Him with a hatred of evil. to have the knowledge of God I will have understanding. I would rather be a fool for God than a fool for the devil .A fool as the world explains a fool to be God 's definition of a fool is as one that says no to Him.
