"Learning does not make you wise. Paul the Apostle said in the last days there will be a people who are always learning but the learning is not bringing them to the place that it's supposed to bring them to their lives actually become a denial of the truth that they are learning but there's a wisdom that God is willing to give if we're willing to receive it." [00:03:05]

"If any of you lacks wisdom let him ask of God who gives to all liberally that means generously and without reproach actually you look in the original text and it means without looking for reasons not to give it not to not to answer that cry of the heart not fault finding that's another way of looking at it he gives liberally and without reproach and it will be given to him." [00:04:55]

"God takes this so seriously that he's actually offended if we don't believe that he wants to give us wisdom he said if if you ask for wisdom and you don't believe that I want to give it to you I'm not going to give it to you because it's so in my heart and I've told you that if you ask for wisdom I will give it to you and I will give it it to you freely generously." [00:05:37]

"Solomon asked God for wisdom it it was a a wonderful thing for him to do and then the Lord came to Solomon and he gave him a wisdom that he told him and it stands to this day there will never be other than Jesus Christ himself there'll never be another person in the world that will measure up to the wisdom I'm about to give you as a matter of fact he became so wise that people were afraid of him." [00:09:12]

"He asked for wisdom to judge between good and evil in others not in himself that's the point you see and that's that's the human tendency I suppose in a lot of God's people it could be in all of us where we we're getting this this learning we're we're we're Discerning what's right and what's wrong and we can discern everybody but we can't discern ourselves." [00:14:16]

"Solomon loved many foreign women the daughters of pharaoh women of the mobites ammonites sidonians and Hittites from the nations of whom the Lord had said to the children of is is you shall not ENT marry with them nor they with you and surely they will turn away your heart after their gods Solomon clung to these in love now he's warning others not to do this in the Book of Proverbs." [00:15:19]

"Solomon the wisest man who ever lived went after asth the goddess of the sidonians and after milcom the abomination of the am milcom the god where people would Place their babies on the red hot heated hands of an idol to burn them to death Solomon of all people Solomon did evil in the sight of the Lord and did not fully follow the lord as did David his father." [00:16:57]

"Solomon is warning people don't do this don't don't yield to these seductions of life or the society around you it will take away it's its path leads to death and yet here he is in his Char going down the path to a place of death you see here's the point he ended up empty dissatisfied and sorrowful because in asking for wisdom he failed to ask God for a heart to apply to himself what God would show him for the sake of others." [00:22:49]

"God don't let me finish like this don't let me start leaning on my own understanding don't don't let me start making excuses God for reasons why what applies to others would not apply to me do you understand we're watching pastors now fall like dead flies all over the country right now teaching others the principles of God which somehow they have deceived themselves into thinking don't don't apply to them." [00:27:18]

"Are you wise I was going to call this message are you a wise guy or just a wise guy do you seek wisdom do you want to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ then it's really simple ask God today for a heart to obey all that he promises to show you it's really simple I don't know about you but that's where I'm going you have no I just want to finish the race in Victory." [00:29:37]

"God let let us be the first on Paul said to Timothy the husbandman that labors must be a first partaker of the fruits the Lord give you understanding in these things he writes elsewhere he said those who say you shouldn't do something do you do it yourself I am stunned at the spiritual blindness that has come on much of the ministry in our generation I'm stunned how people can live in such immorality and mixture and compromise." [00:33:58]

"God this generation needs to see your church again they need to see the light of your presence in the lives of your people Deliver Us Lord from compromise Deliver Us from mixture Deliver Us from deliberate Disobedience to the things we know you've told us we should or shouldn't do God help us Lord Jesus Christ to love you with all our heart soul and mind and strength which you told us as the greatest commandment." [00:45:51]
