Thank you, brother. Well, well. Glory be. Brother Shannon, you had an opportunity to pray for somebody today. He was telling me. What did that lady ask you? pray for somebody caught off guard. And then I said, she said, Oh, I sure do. I got a prayer request. And she gets a piece of paper out. And she asked me, Can I put two? Oh, watch out. I said, I got a big God. You can put 102. Yeah. And she we prayed for him. And I told her, I said, I don't know what your prayer request that you want. My prayer request is that they find they have salvation. Come on. and then I'll pray for whatever you want. I mean, it was just... Good stuff. Making the priority the priority, and everything flows out of that. That's what John said, huh? Pray as your soul prospers, that you'll prosper in all things, huh? And be in good health, yes. Remember, the good thing often is a hard thing. We don't want to pray anybody be praying against God's will in anybody's life, but boy, we sure enough can bring them before the Lord and ask Him to work that out. That is. We know, I had a fellow the other day, he was servicing my car, and everything wrapped I was walking out, he said, let me go out there and make sure they cleared everything out in it. And he got in the car and he said, I've learned this to be sensitive to the Lord's leading. Can I ask you to pray for me? We prayed, I prayed for him right there. And it's like God gripped the boy's heart. And just one of those things that you always be sensitive. And I don't think, I've never met the guy before at all. Didn't even know. I had to ask him what his name was. And didn't know what I was praying specifically, but I knew who I was praying to. And I knew he knew. and what he was going to do in this, whatever it may be, and whatever the need that he had. So, you just give it to Jesus, amen? But you have to ask God to show you these people. That's right, that's right. You just be a willing available. Here I am, Lord. Here I am, Lord. You know, when we were reading in Second Corinthians chapter number nine, I think it's in about around verse number eight. It says that he is able to make all grace abound toward us that we have all sufficiency for every good work. You see, he is fully able, he is fully aware of what the need is, What we need to be is fully available. And when we are, his awareness is manifested and his ability comes to light. We see that brought to light in the way that he meets those needs. All right, anybody have anything that you want to give away that you've been digging in in the truth? Any kind of question, any testimony, any blessing? We're up to chapter five in the book of Proverbs, but of course, it could be anywhere. That's why we love to be able to gather and lift up specific needs and bring those needs before the Lord. Even though we don't get in detail of every need that is brought to light, we give that to Jesus. There's so much we don't know that's going on in people's lives, so we bring that to Him. But if there is anything that just We're gonna look in chapter four a minute. Brother Shannon's got something. What you have? 20 through 22. 20 through 22. And it's just, what it says is, hear my saying. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Down in 22 it says, these are for life and for health. Mm. To all their flesh. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. When we're going through and looking to these proverbs, we don't wanna approach them from a mechanical standpoint. That is, that if you hit button A, you're gonna get a Coca-Cola fallout. That's not the objective. Within these proverbs, they give us the heart of God. That when we take God at His word, when we trust Him, You can count on things are going to work out even when they don't look like they're working out. You can count on them to be as God says it would be. And he says here in verse number 20, we see that relational connection. What is it? A father teaching a son, my son, attention. We know our attention is saying give your focus and whatever we whatever we focus on is what we're gonna feed upon. Meaning you know whatever we whatever we have our eye upon whenever you focusing on something you normally drift in that direction. So when you give you it your attention to the words of a father and incline your ear to hear the sayings that is given yourself. Remember hearing is always in line with submitting. I'm hearing to heed and when I heed it I want to honor that which I'm hearing and the one that I've heard it from. that I trust my father enough to know that what he says is of value, it's a treasure to cling to. Because we've been seeing this again and again, from the very first proverb, he says that, my son, if sinners entice you, my son, Listen to the words that I have to say. And we see this continually, we see it in chapter five, we're gonna see it in six, we see it in seven, that the dominant objective in these first seven proverbs is written specifically toward boys and young men and men on how to live right. how to be righteous, how to live right, how to listen and I want to tell you there's an art to listening. There's a gift to being able to listen and to hear and that's something that we keep seeing. He wants us to cultivate an ability to hear. Now when I say it's directly written toward guys, men, because of the difference a society, it makes in a society when men are right and doing right things for the right reasons, for the right glory, it makes all the difference in the world. But all these apply both to men and women. I mean, like in chapter five with the adulterous woman who flatters and tries to mislead people, men do the same thing. So we've got to be warned on both sides of being trapped in any kind of way, but he tells us here that he wants us to give our attention, to give our ear, do not let them depart from our eyes and keep them in the midst of our heart. He's saying put everything you got in it, your heart, your eyes, your ears, and your mind. Give your mind, your eyes, your ears, and your heart to these things for they are life. They are life. They are life to those who find them and health to all their flesh. It's gonna be good for you in every facet of your life. In your thought life, in your emotional life, in your mental life, your physical life, these things are gonna be a blessing to you. He says in verse 23, keep your heart with all diligence for out of it springs the issues of life. Or keep your heart, guard your heart. Out of it flows all the issues of life, which is where he was leading to. That if you don't protect what comes in and goes out of your heart, you're just setting yourself up for failure. You gotta guard it. You can't just let anything in. If you're letting all this stuff in, but you're not allowing the right stuff to filter what you're letting in, the product of your life is gonna be all the junk that you're letting in. And it won't be health to your flesh. It won't be something that is profitable and beneficial for you as a young man or as a young woman, as a person individually. Because verse 23 tells us that everything in life is filtered through the way a person perceives a thing. That's the idea of your heart, how you perceive, how you think. So if we were to take this stained glass window right here, for an example, and everybody look at that stained glass window, there'll be some common things we see, but everybody's gonna look at that stained glass window touched differently. Carolyn's gonna look at it differently than Brittany. And Greg's gonna look at it different than Miss Pat. And Brother Shannon's gonna look at it different than Stephanie. If we had like Hadley Jane, if she looks at that, she's gonna look at it different. Why? She could only look at what she sees and filter it by what we know. And what we know, how we perceive things are gonna play into how we look at that. So you can put the same thing in front of 20 different people and all those 20 people are gonna look at that thing differently, though nothing's changed about it. It's a abstract picture or something like that. Everybody's gonna see it different based on what's on the inside of them. That's why he says you gotta guard what's on the inside. Because on the inside is how you're going to perceive everything you see on the outside. And if how you perceive everything on the outside is not rightly related to God, it's because what's on the inside is not rightly related to Him. That's why we need these words, these sayings, why we give our attention to them. Because what happens is when God is living in us, and his wisdom is in us, Jesus is in us, and we're yielded to him, we perceive the things the way he perceives them. We see life how he sees life. We see people how he sees people. We see ourselves how he sees ourselves. Because without that, what does the scripture say? Every way is right to a man in his own eyes. Every way of a man is right in his own eyes. But the Lord weighs the spirit. So we think what we do is right because that's what we know. But just because I know a thing and I think what I'm doing is right doesn't mean that it's right. And I can't just let any kind of way of perception and perceiving life enter into me because that's how I'm gonna see everything. And that's why we need the presence of God, why we rely upon Him and trust Him first and then look at His message and say, hey, God's got much more wisdom than anybody in this world. He has much more wisdom than I have. And therefore, I wanna see this the way he sees this, so I'm going to him, and I'm gonna acknowledge him, and I'm gonna trust him. Even though my old understanding looked at this this-a-way, but I'm gonna trust him now, I'm gonna acknowledge him, and whatever way he leads me on this, that's what I'm gonna take on. I'm not gonna depend on the way I used to look at it. I gotta see it the way he sees it. That goes back to like Proverbs 3, 5, and 6, where it says, trusting the Lord with all your heart, lean not, Acknowledge Him in all your ways and He will what? Make it clear, He'll direct our paths. He's the one who you want to lean on, who you want to listen to, and who you want to follow. And not how you've always looked at something in the past. That's why we have to keep and guard our heart. It's of the utmost importance because everything in life springs out of it. Every step you take, every thought you have, and something you gotta remember, our thoughts are like words before God. If you think it, it's like speaking it to Him. Now your thoughts, like mine, are often way out there. They're not good thoughts at times. That's why we have to be daily, what, renewed in our mind. Well, that's where we take those thoughts in the captivity and submit them unto Jesus. Let Him deal with it and knowing that, hey, God has solutions for me. God has answers for me when I'm ready to listen to Him. I have to listen to Him. Matter of fact, just look at this passage real quick. We just read about it, this is talking about how we deal with our heart and this guard in our heart, go to 2 Corinthians chapter number 10. 2 Corinthians chapter 10 about this issue of warfare. 2 Corinthians 10, we were just in it. 2 Corinthians 10 gives us some great help. Whatever's in and working in us currently is either freeing us to follow the guidance and leadership of the Lord or it is stacking up the bricks of a fortress making a stronghold in our mind. Keep that before you. Whatever is cultivating in my mind is either freeing me to follow after Jesus. Remember what Jesus said, the Son shall make you free, you shall know the truth and the truth you know and apply, that's the idea is what? Will make you free. Okay, well if that's not happening, something else is going on. What else is going on? There is vain imaginations and strongholds that are being built up in the mind and the enemy is using what lies and falsehoods and untruths to add to the brick and the mortar to lock us into a stronghold of thinking. And the only way to overcome that is by supernatural work of God to pull those strongholds down. This is the war that we're in. We're not fighting against people, not fighting against flesh and blood, but against what? Principalities and rulers and the rulers of the darkness of this age, the spiritual host of wickedness that is behind moving nations and peoples and cultures and societies to think a certain way. So in chapter 10, Paul says in verse number four, for the weapons, the tools of our conflict, our warfare, are not natural, they're not carnal. They're not like how you fight normal fights with. But they're mighty in God and they are what? For the pulling down of, strongholds, or you can say fortresses. What was a fortress that somebody would build? They'd build a fortress to go in for a refuge, to have safety in, and the things we're gleaning and believing and holding to are either freeing us to follow Jesus, or they're building a fortress in our lives. And he says this, verse five, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against what? Okay, so we see we're dealing with an issue of worldly knowledge or the knowledge of God. and worldly knowledge, knowledge or information in this world that is anti-God is either building up the stronghold or God is tearing down the stronghold and freeing us to follow Him. That's the only two things that are going on in people's minds today. No matter how bright, smart or humble they are, they're either being freed from the lie or the lie is adding another brick to the fortress. And only God is able to what? Pull those strongholds down. And how does that happen in the believer's life? And this is only applicable for the believer because the unbeliever doesn't have Christ. And as a result, you can't bring it into captivity to the obedience of Jesus. This is only for the disciple. Verse 5, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought in the captivity to the obedience of Christ. This is how we as a believer deal with the lies and the falsehoods. Those that legislate our land and write and rewrite or undermine laws are those who establish in rules and the way business operates in a nation. And oftentimes they will legalize something that God would say would be an abomination. And because it's a legalized thing, it has built a stronghold for people. In their thinking, in their mind, they feel like because they have the right to do it, it is good for them to do it, and it's just a stronghold of a falsehood, of a lie. And the only way to overcome that lie is not attacking the person, but the thought, the principle, and you can only do that with the truth. They resist it, no doubt. But remember, we're not battling against people, we're battling against a system of thinking. A system of laws that undergird that thinking, that protect them in that stronghold of thinking. That we see that thinking continually what? Expand, the strongholds are getting larger and broader. And people are finding refuge in that. Well, as a believer, I have to then not get caught up in their strongholds. The only way to help another believer or myself to pull those down is by the revealed wisdom and answers and solutions that God gives that'll tear the bricks down so that the people can escape out. Or you can escape out and follow the freedom that Jesus Christ gives us to be free in him. Not to free to do what we want. You see, that's part of the stronghold. is free to follow Him to do what He purposes and wills in our life, amen? That's the crown of life that He gives to us. Not so that I can be free to go run and do whatever pleases me, but what is pleasing unto Him as we are seeing these principles revealed to us in the book of Proverbs. But notice verse number six. Verse six says, Paul says, and being ready to punish all disobedience when our obedience is fulfilled. The idea of and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled. The word to be ready is the idea, the same principle that we find in Peter's writing. Remember when Peter said, be ready? Be ready to give what? An answer. an answer for the hope that you have. Paul is saying to this church who has built these strongholds and they're finding refuge in these lives. Paul says, we're ready to give an answer to these strongholds that you're in. We're ready. to give an answer, to deal with. The word punish has the idea of to deal with properly. So we ready, we have an answer to deal with, to punish. When you punish somebody, you just don't punish them just lock them up. You want to deal with, okay, what caused the punishment? What is the answer for the punishment? What is the solution for the punishment? Because you don't want to have to punish them again. The punishment is to be what? Corrective. Redemptive. Everything God does in His people's life is to be redemptive, to reconcile. When God chastens us it's to reconcile or redeem us. When God disciplines us, it's to refine us. All those things, so we see it here. Ready, an answer to give solutions to deal with the issue when your disobedience, of all disobedience, when your obedience is being fulfilled. Stephanie, the idea is this. Disobedience means that you, when you're ready to listen, We have an answer to deal with the problem, the stronghold, when you're ready to listen. Because disobedience is a product of not listening. What it boils down to. Why do people not want to listen? They're not persuaded God has the solution. Or God has the answer. So if you're not persuaded God has the answer, you don't listen to Him. And if you don't listen to Him, guess what? The enemy keeps stacking the bricks with lies. And Paul says, we are ready. to deal with the problem when you are what? Ready to, when you're ready to listen. And we see that throughout the word of God. Remember, didn't we read that Psalm 81, Sunday, when God says, listen and hearken and heed to me. If you had opened your mouth, I would have fed you, but my people wouldn't what? They wouldn't listen to me. You see, if we're not listening to God, there's no way to bring the stronghold down. Proverbs is teaching us again and again and again and again and again, what? Give attention, give your focus, give your what? Give your ear, give your eyes, pay attention, look to what I'm saying, give your heart to it, give everything you got to it. And until we in the position to listen to God, that is to say, to hear, to heed and to honor Him, We can't expect God to give us the solutions we need to pull the strongholds down. Didn't James say that? If you got a problem, come to God, but if you come to God, you gotta what, believe? In faith, because if you don't come in faith, and when you come in faith, you come to listen. You believe he's got a solution. If you don't come in faith, you can't expect anything from God. Why? You're not prepared to listen. So how do we deal with all this? How do you deal? How do I deal? How do we deal with the lies that have built strongholds in our life? Well, we submit ourselves unto the Lord. Say, God, I'm here to listen. And isn't that what Proverbs has been saying again and again and again and again? Listen, listen, listen. Hear, hear, hear. Honor, honor, honor. Hearken, hearken, hearken. The idea is you listen to follow. And that's what Solomon keeps telling his children and his son. He says, look, listen to me. it will be life to you. But if you're not willing to listen, you can't expect life to come. Can't expect it. And that's exactly what Paul is saying. How are we to pull, how are we to take these thoughts captive? We need to position ourselves to listen to God. He has the solution. He's ready to give it to us. but we have to be in position to listen with the intent to what? Obey, to fulfill the obedience, to apply what he gives us. And that's really the heartbeat of how we deal with lies in our own life, lies in other people's lives that we take these thoughts captive. It goes back to, go look if you would in Proverbs. Proverbs, that make sense to y'all? Y'all see what I'm talking about? When you break these words down, That's what Paul is saying, being ready, having a ready answer, a solution to deal with the issue, the stronghold, the lie, the falsehood, the untruth, when they are willing to listen. But if you're not persuaded that God has real life solutions for you, you'll never put yourself in position to hear from him. And that's what we see in Proverbs, look in Proverbs 21, 21, go to 21. Look in 2130, this is what we wanna take. We wanna take away. This is what we wanna think about while we reading these things. What's 2130 say? There is no wisdom, no understanding, there is no counsel that can stand against the Lord. Every other wisdom, knowledge, understanding, counsel will all fall and crumble. In the end, when all is said and done, everything that opposed his wisdom, his understanding and his counsel will burn up in fervent heat. It will be a waste, it will be nothing. It will be utterly vain and useless and all that. There's nothing that can overcome or outdo more significant than God's wisdom. So knowing that, that what we're reading right now as you go through this, I am submitting myself to him who has wisdom that can't be stood against. Therefore, I wanna put my full confidence in him and what he says. I wanna listen to what he says. There is nothing that can undermine it, stand up to it, or replace the wisdom, understanding, or counsel of the Lord. In essence, we could just simply say, the word of God. A word from God. So when we were reading, when you're going through these things, I've gotta keep that in my mind, that hey, It may not look like it at times, but there's nothing that can stand against the wisdom of God. There's nothing that can replace the counsel of the Lord. There's nothing, there's nothing, not one thing that can undermine the understanding or a way to see things in life The perception of God, of how he sees things. There's nothing that can replace that, undermine that, or stand up against it. Man, just clinging to that, pondering that, working on that. Look in verse 31. It would be smart to prepare your horse if you're gonna use your horse in battle, right? That's a smart thing to do. But where does deliverance come from? Not in your preparation, but in who? Not in your readiness, but who? Not in your power, but who? Not in how much common sense you have, but who? There's no wisdom, counsel, or understanding that can replace Him who brings deliverance. It doesn't matter how well the horse is prepared, how strong or how fast or how mighty or how fearless. It just doesn't matter. It doesn't matter how well our pilots are trained. It doesn't matter how well our anti-warfare material, our tanks and our ships, that's regardless. You can't be, you know, when you prepare a horse, the idea is is that you've got strategy. You have strategized as an army and your horses are trained and ready and they know how to take a command. They know how to go into the battle. You can have all that done and be prepared, but deliverance isn't coming by that horse. If it comes, it's gonna come from the Lord. And the same thing with us, that our reliance is upon the Lord. Not in how well prepared we are, not in how smart we are on a thing, not how keen we are on it, but it's in him, amen. That's where the balance is at. I'm resting in him and what he said. Why? Because what he said can't be replaced. Can't be substituted. If it is, it's not gonna turn out the way we thought it would turn out, is the idea. It may look like it's successful right now, It may look like you're winning right now, but in the end, it ain't gonna win. Why? There's not one ounce of wisdom, counsel, or understanding that can stand up against the counsel, wisdom, and understanding of the Lord. Now that's something to celebrate and shout about, amen? Look in, I think it's in what, Proverbs 23. Look in 23. These are just some nuggets for me that I'm sharing with you. Look in 23, 23. If that be in the case, I know that deliverance only comes by the Lord, and I believe he has the best message in the world for me. If that be the case, I can take this word right here and run with it. And we learned Sunday morning, you can't buy it. There ain't enough gold in the world to buy an ounce of wisdom. But this is what he says. Verse 23, of 23, buy the truth and do not sell it. Also, while you're buying it, go ahead and buy wisdom, instruction, and understanding. But remember, you can't buy it. So what is he saying there? We know that, you cannot buy wisdom. You can't educate yourself in wisdom. You can't go to the finest institutions in the world and spend the most money in the world and get what we're talking about here. You can have all the gold that has ever been made by God and it can't buy wisdom. Remember what Job said in Job 28? It ain't where the gold's found. You can't equal it with gold. You can't trade it for gold. You can't trade it for diamonds and for sapphires and for rubies. You just can't do it. The idea is you gotta be willing to pay the cost. When he says buy, you do whatever it takes. Didn't Proverbs 4 say the same thing? My son, get wisdom. And while you're getting, get understanding, because she's going to be good to you. She's better than gold and rubies and stones. The idea is you put yourself in position to get it. How do you do that? You give place to God. Because see, the fear of the Lord is wisdom. It's the beginning of wisdom. That is saying, you, you, me, if that be in the case, that's saying, hey, you know what God's Word's doing for me? God's rescuing me from me. He's rescuing me from me. He's rescuing me from my own foolishness. He's rescuing me because my foolishness says I know better than Him. I know what's better for me. I know what's better for somebody else so I don't seek God's counsel on it. And man, selfishness, the natural instinct and insight of trusting self or anything or everything but God always reduces and degrades my insight, my input, and my involvement to the level of folly and foolishness. Selfishness, which is self-centeredness, which is sin, always reduces and degrades my insight to folly. That's why Proverbs 3, 5, and 6 says what? Trust in the Lord. Lean not on your own understanding. Acknowledge Him and hear what? You see, but if I lean on self, it's already degraded my instincts and insight to foolishness. Because all I'm doing, Brittany, is acting like a fool is what it boils down to. And that's what we see the beauty of these proverbs are doing. Let me give you a couple passages just to look at so you'll see what I'm talking about and keep in mind. And before we go, just real quick, go to 1 Corinthians 1. 1 Corinthians 1. I want you to glean this. 1 Corinthians 1. Look in verse 30. 1 Corinthians 1.30. But of him, that would be God. Say, but of God, but of the Father. You are what? In Christ, amen. We talked about this a couple Sundays ago, didn't we? Being in Christ. That means you're no longer in Adam now, you're in Christ. That is, you've been reconciled to God. But of Him, you are in Christ. Who? This would be Jesus. Jesus became for us. What did He become for us? What did He become? What does it say in His passage? He became wisdom from God. And not just wisdom, but our righteousness, our sanctification, and our redemption. So who is our wisdom? Jesus is our wisdom. So everything we're reading in Proverbs is little nuggets of the whole beauty of God's wisdom wrapped up in Christ. How Jesus would handle things rightly. How Jesus would perceive things rightly. I wanna perceive things like, I wanna be crowned with his life so that I can see things the way he sees things. Matter of fact, another passage, go to Colossians. Look in Colossians, Colossians chapter number two. Colossians 2. Look in verse number 2, Colossians 2. that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love and attaining all riches of the full assurance of understanding to the mystery of the knowledge or the knowledge of the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ. Verse three, Christ in whom are hidden all the treasures of what? Wisdom and knowledge. See, when you get Jesus, you get it all, amen? Now what we get in Jesus and what we have in him, now we need to bring everything in our life into obedience to him. And that only happens when we're what? Ready to listen. And when we're listening as a way of life, God's got solutions, answers, his way. What we're reading in Proverbs right now is just Wisdom personified is Jesus. And we see in that manifested in the life of Christ. An example. Proverbs 15, I believe it is, says this. A soft answer or a gentle answer turns away wrath. Right? But a harsh word does what? Stirs up anger. A gentle answer turns away wrath but a harsh word stirs up anger. Now we've all seen that in a general sense. We've watched people have conversations and depending upon how they communicate and fuel a thing would depend on how people respond, right? You see that? But this encapsulates the entire message of the gospel of Jesus himself. Jesus never raised his voice in the streets. Am I right? Isn't that what we watched and seen? Did people lash out though at him? Even though He didn't lash out at them, they lashed back at Him. Even though He didn't have a harsh word toward them, they still attacked Him. Well, what do we see here? We learn here from Jesus that no matter their response, our response always should be governed by our Father and the wisdom that He's given us. And therefore, we respond back with a soft answer because we know it may not turn out good for us right now because the Bible says if you correct the scorner, he's gonna hurt you. And you can correct him with softness, he's still gonna hurt you. You don't have to fuel his anger, you just bear witness to the truth and they're gonna not like it. That's what Jesus said to his brothers. He said, look, you can go, the world don't mind you, but the world hates me. Why? Because I bear witness that their works are evil. So even in his gentle, soft answers, they still lashed and was angry at him. But what we learned from Jesus is that he always wins. He always triumphs. even when they lash out at him, even when they scourge him and mock him and beat him and put a crown of thorns on his head and hang him on a cross, in the end, the gospel, the good news, the life of Christ always wins when you do it right and you do it God's way, regardless of how you get a response back or not, are you with me? So when we look at that, you know what that says? When you do it God's way, you know what God does? God crowns you with life. even if the enemy lashes out with darkness. You know in the end, their acts will all be dealt with and you triumph. You triumph as you let the Lord lead you. Doesn't he always lead us to victory? So you see, when we're looking at these, these proverbial words, yes, they are general. They are usually like this, but you can't miss Christ in them. And you're looking for him in it. of how he did what to his father. He gave his attention to him. He gave his ear to him, Brother Shannon. He gave his eyes to him. He said, I don't do a thing unless I've seen my father at work. And he what? Always guarded his heart. Because he knew everything would proceed out of it. So you know what I'm looking for? I'm looking for Jesus. Because Jesus himself said everything that was written was written about him. And he is our wisdom. So therefore what we find here is the manifestation of Jesus and his good news for us to live out for the glory of God. Amen. Father, we thank you tonight. We bless you. Ask you to help us with these things. Help us not get carried away and look at them from our own perspective, but that you give us insight on them so that we can have intimate fellowship with you, that we do give our hearts to you to listen. We know you wanna feed us, that's obvious. You better than anybody knows how to feed, lead, and meet the needs of your people. So Lord, I pray you'll find us coming before you from day to day, asking you to help us. Let us see things the way you see things. Thank you for these proverbs that gives us so much heavenly insight, that we never miss this, that deliverance comes from you, not what we do, prepare, or already have done. For there is nothing that can stand and replace your message in our life. So we're ready to listen. Keep speaking to us in Jesus' name. Amen. Love y'all. Anybody have anything before we go tonight? Lord willing, we'll be here. Glory be. Looking already forward to Sunday. Amen.
