00:00:11,824 --> 00:00:12,964
Action Podcast.

week of July with the wisdom

8
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:19,900
of Proverbs.

9
00:00:20,519 --> 00:00:22,519
That's right. We've been going through the book

10
00:00:22,519 --> 00:00:23,260
of Proverbs

11
00:00:23,695 --> 00:00:25,155
because these are scriptures

12
00:00:25,774 --> 00:00:28,515
that we can apply to our everyday lives

13
00:00:28,814 --> 00:00:30,814

00:00:30,814 --> 00:00:33,215

00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:36,659

if you can do that for

25
00:00:57,674 --> 00:00:58,255
a brother here.

26
00:00:58,795 --> 00:00:59,114
So

27
00:00:59,755 --> 00:01:02,494
alright. So where are we today in Proverbs?

28
00:01:02,554 --> 00:01:03,854
We are still in

29
00:01:05,599 --> 00:01:08,239
we're in 13th chapter and we are on

30
00:01:08,239 --> 00:01:09,140
verse 20.

31
00:01:09,439 --> 00:01:11,060
And I'm calling this one,

32
00:01:12,135 --> 00:01:14,075
who's in your circle?

33
00:01:14,694 --> 00:01:17,754
Your circle of friends, your circle of influence.

34
00:01:18,534 --> 00:01:19,034
Who's

35
00:01:19,415 --> 00:01:20,555
in your

36
00:01:20,935 --> 00:01:21,435
circle?

37
00:01:21,799 --> 00:01:23,260
Or who is in your circle.

38
00:01:23,879 --> 00:01:26,219
And verse 20 reads as follows.

39
00:01:27,479 --> 00:01:28,939
Walk with the wise

40
00:01:29,844 --> 00:01:30,984
and become wise.

41
00:01:32,405 --> 00:01:34,584
For a companion of fools,

42
00:01:35,444 --> 00:01:36,424
suffer harm.

43
00:01:37,340 --> 00:01:38,719
I'll read that one more time.

44
00:01:39,340 --> 00:01:40,640
This is verse 20.

45
00:01:41,659 --> 00:01:44,400
Walk with the wise and become wise.

46
00:01:45,344 --> 00:01:46,965
For a companion of fools

47
00:01:47,424 --> 00:01:47,924
suffer

48
00:01:48,305 --> 00:01:48,805
harm.

49
00:01:50,144 --> 00:01:51,125
Self explanatory.

50
00:01:51,745 --> 00:01:53,685
You've heard this from motivational

51
00:01:54,019 --> 00:01:56,519
speakers. If you want to become something,

52
00:01:57,060 --> 00:01:59,299
then you need to be around people that

53
00:01:59,299 --> 00:02:02,039
are doing that particular thing you're doing

54
00:02:02,405 --> 00:02:04,805
so that you can learn from them to

55
00:02:04,805 --> 00:02:07,284
become what they are is what you wanna

56
00:02:07,284 --> 00:02:07,784
become.

57
00:02:08,245 --> 00:02:08,985
And so

58
00:02:09,604 --> 00:02:11,469
as you go through life,

59
00:02:12,009 --> 00:02:12,509
sometimes

60
00:02:13,770 --> 00:02:15,069
you're gonna have to

61
00:02:15,849 --> 00:02:17,150
let some friends go.

62
00:02:17,615 --> 00:02:18,594
Because as

63
00:02:19,215 --> 00:02:19,875
you learn,

64
00:02:20,495 --> 00:02:20,995
grow

65
00:02:21,294 --> 00:02:22,514
in the word of God,

66
00:02:23,134 --> 00:02:25,935
you're gonna change. You're you're gonna change. You

67
00:02:25,935 --> 00:02:28,020
could think you might not, but you're gonna

68
00:02:28,020 --> 00:02:30,020
change. If you are truly reading his word

69
00:02:30,020 --> 00:02:31,319
and you're you're

70
00:02:31,699 --> 00:02:33,699
serving in the kingdom and you're doing all

71
00:02:33,699 --> 00:02:35,639
the things god so have you do,

72
00:02:36,034 --> 00:02:38,594
you're gonna change. And how you see things

73
00:02:38,594 --> 00:02:39,974
and how you view things

74
00:02:40,354 --> 00:02:41,574
are gonna be different.

75
00:02:42,194 --> 00:02:43,014
And if

76
00:02:43,599 --> 00:02:46,180
you're around friends that are not doing that,

77
00:02:47,519 --> 00:02:49,060
they're gonna become a distraction.

78
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,094
Some are gonna become jealous because some of

79
00:02:52,094 --> 00:02:53,474
them are gonna see how you're

80
00:02:53,854 --> 00:02:54,354
prospering

81
00:02:54,895 --> 00:02:56,034
and doing well

82
00:02:56,735 --> 00:02:57,794
because of your

83
00:02:58,094 --> 00:03:00,594
changed life, your new commitment to God.

84
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,699
And they're gonna try to,

85
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:05,300
sabotage.

86
00:03:05,599 --> 00:03:06,900
They're gonna be jealousy,

87
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:08,020
hatred,

88
00:03:09,199 --> 00:03:10,099
all the above.

89
00:03:10,525 --> 00:03:12,284
And so you wanna make sure that you

90
00:03:12,284 --> 00:03:14,224
are always surrounded by

91
00:03:14,525 --> 00:03:15,825
like minded people.

92
00:03:16,444 --> 00:03:17,265
And so

93
00:03:17,810 --> 00:03:20,129
there you go. That's why the kingdom in

94
00:03:20,129 --> 00:03:20,710
in action

95
00:03:21,250 --> 00:03:22,469
family is here.

96
00:03:23,090 --> 00:03:26,014
We're trying to draw men with like minded

97
00:03:26,314 --> 00:03:26,814
faith.

98
00:03:27,354 --> 00:03:29,435
Men that are trying to serve god, wants

99
00:03:29,435 --> 00:03:30,735
to do god's will.

100
00:03:31,354 --> 00:03:33,034
This is where you need to come because

101
00:03:33,034 --> 00:03:34,814
here, we're gonna learn,

102
00:03:35,180 --> 00:03:37,840
grow, and encourage one another. That's our motto.

103
00:03:38,540 --> 00:03:41,659
Learn, grow, and encourage one another here at

104
00:03:41,659 --> 00:03:42,960
the kingdom and in action.

105
00:03:43,340 --> 00:03:45,805
And that keyword is action. And we're taking

106
00:03:45,805 --> 00:03:47,645
action on a lot of things. But you

107
00:03:47,645 --> 00:03:49,905
wanna be around men that are pursuing

108
00:03:50,764 --> 00:03:53,165
and doing the same things that you're doing

109
00:03:53,165 --> 00:03:54,729
because that's the only way

110
00:03:55,209 --> 00:03:57,069
that you're gonna be encouraged.

111
00:03:57,370 --> 00:03:59,129
You're gonna have people you can go to

112
00:03:59,129 --> 00:04:01,129
that understand what you're going through, and they

113
00:04:01,129 --> 00:04:02,349
can give you wise

114
00:04:03,444 --> 00:04:03,944
advice.

115
00:04:04,564 --> 00:04:07,525
People that's gonna give you godly advice and

116
00:04:07,525 --> 00:04:08,745
not worldly advice.

117
00:04:09,685 --> 00:04:11,739
And it's just nice to hang around people

118
00:04:11,739 --> 00:04:13,419
that are pursuing the same things that you're

119
00:04:13,419 --> 00:04:13,919
pursuing.

120
00:04:14,299 --> 00:04:15,739
Because believe it or not,

121
00:04:16,060 --> 00:04:17,819
brothers, you could tell these other people that

122
00:04:17,819 --> 00:04:18,800
don't think that

123
00:04:19,104 --> 00:04:21,745
godly people have fun. We have fun as

124
00:04:21,745 --> 00:04:24,884
well. Sometimes I think we have more fun

125
00:04:25,104 --> 00:04:28,519
because it's clean, godly fun. It's not centered

126
00:04:28,979 --> 00:04:31,219
around how much beer you can drink. It's

127
00:04:31,219 --> 00:04:32,439
not centered around,

128
00:04:34,419 --> 00:04:36,740
scandalous women at the club and all this

129
00:04:36,740 --> 00:04:39,004
other stuff. We get together, and it's just

130
00:04:39,004 --> 00:04:41,964
nice, clean family fun. We do games. We

131
00:04:41,964 --> 00:04:44,125
do this. We do that. And in some

132
00:04:44,125 --> 00:04:45,185
cases, there is,

133
00:04:46,709 --> 00:04:48,709
depending on what the situation is. There may

134
00:04:48,709 --> 00:04:50,389
be some wine there or something with but

135
00:04:50,389 --> 00:04:53,209
nobody's drinking to excess to where they're stumbling,

136
00:04:53,404 --> 00:04:55,425
fumbling, throwing up all over the place.

137
00:04:55,805 --> 00:04:57,264
We just have fun together.

138
00:04:57,725 --> 00:04:58,464
And so,

139
00:04:59,485 --> 00:05:00,064
you know,

140
00:05:00,649 --> 00:05:02,990
that's I I mean, it's it's self explanatory.

141
00:05:03,930 --> 00:05:04,589
You know,

142
00:05:05,449 --> 00:05:07,689
you either gonna be with people that's going

143
00:05:07,689 --> 00:05:08,589
in your direction

144
00:05:08,889 --> 00:05:10,995
or you're gonna be hindered by the people

145
00:05:10,995 --> 00:05:13,095
in your life that's not going in your

146
00:05:13,154 --> 00:05:13,654
direction.

147
00:05:14,274 --> 00:05:16,535
So, again, who's in your circle?

148
00:05:16,995 --> 00:05:18,995
Who's in your circle that you can go

149
00:05:18,995 --> 00:05:22,160
to and be influenced by that's gonna take

150
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:23,300
you in the direction

151
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,779
that you wanna go? So remember,

152
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:27,539
verse 20,

153
00:05:28,055 --> 00:05:30,154
walk with the wise to become wise

154
00:05:30,694 --> 00:05:32,394
for a companion of fools

155
00:05:33,014 --> 00:05:35,974
suffer harm. And we're not gonna suffer harm

156
00:05:35,974 --> 00:05:38,100
here, Not at the kingdom in an action.

157
00:05:38,319 --> 00:05:41,379
Again, we're here to learn, grow, and encourage

158
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:42,819
one another. So

159
00:05:43,415 --> 00:05:44,714
that's it from Proverbs.

160
00:05:45,335 --> 00:05:47,254
I hope you learned something today. Take that

161
00:05:47,254 --> 00:05:49,895
word, chew on it, meditate on it, and

162
00:05:49,895 --> 00:05:51,915
apply it to your daily life. Alright.

163
00:05:52,310 --> 00:05:53,529
We are out of here.

God and making God a priority.

190
00:06:44,419 --> 00:06:46,019
It's a great read. But we'll send that

191
00:06:46,019 --> 00:06:46,680
to you

192
00:06:46,980 --> 00:06:48,899
just for joining the Kingdom Men in Action

193
00:06:48,899 --> 00:06:51,079
family. And like I said, it's a digital,

194
00:06:51,699 --> 00:06:53,379
copy that's sent to you. You can download

195
00:06:53,379 --> 00:06:55,095
it, print it off, and read it at

196
00:06:55,095 --> 00:06:57,495
your leisure. So that's our gift to you

197
00:06:57,495 --> 00:06:59,415
for being part of the Kingdom in Action

198
00:06:59,415 --> 00:07:01,819
family. So until the next time, this is

199
00:07:01,819 --> 00:07:03,979
brother Parker. Again, I want you to be

200
00:07:03,979 --> 00:07:04,479
safe.

201
00:07:05,019 --> 00:07:07,740
Be well. I love you. Until the next

202
00:07:07,740 --> 00:07:08,319
time, god

203
00:07:08,699 --> 00:07:09,194
bless.
