Well, welcome everybody to morning manna. It's Wednesday and we're delighted to have you here today. We are in the second chapter of the book of Proverbs and we're ready to do a deep dive into verses, I think 10 through 17 today. I'm going to move fairly quickly. I ordinarily only do four or five verses a day. This time we're doing much more. So let's pray. Doc's going to read the scriptures and then we're going to jump in and find the gold nuggets in the book of Proverbs.

Almighty God, our wonderful heavenly father, father, your sons and daughters from all over the world are here today for one purpose, to learn from your Spirit the truth of your Word. We are hungry for wisdom and knowledge, and we're asking you to satisfy our hunger. In Jesus' name, amen. Amen. And welcome to Morning Manor today, and we appreciate you being here. We are studying Proverbs chapter 2 and reading verses 10 through 17. So if you've got your Bibles,

follow along here with me this morning. Verse 10 reads in the King James, when wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul, discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee, to deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh forward things, who leave the paths of upriseness of brightness, excuse me, to walk in the ways of darkness, who rejoice to do evil and delight

in the forerunner's of the the wicked whose ways are crooked and they forward in their paths to deliver thee from the strange woman even from the stranger which flattereth with her words which forsaketh the guide of youth and forgetteth the covenant of her God." God bless the reading of His Word today. Amen. All right. Verse 10. Again, our style here at Morning Manna is to take a verse, divide it up into segments,

do a deep dive into each segment, and then put it all together to get all the nutrients that are packed in that one verse. So we're gonna start with verse 10. When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul. So we've got three segments of this verse. The first part, for wisdom will enter into your heart.

This is a promise from the Lord that those who diligently seek God's wisdom will receive it. It will come inside of you. It will be internalized in you. Yes. The heart is the, not talking about your physical heart, it's pumping blood. It's talking about your heart,

which is the seat of your emotions, the seat of your will. seat of your emotions, the seat of your will. It says when you pursue God's wisdom, wisdom will enter into your heart, into the seat of your emotions and will. A lot of people more than more than should be it shouldn't be any a lot of people are governed by their emotions right Some people are governed by their emotions other people are governed by their logic. They're both extremes Some emotional people never use logic and some logical people never use emotions. And both of them are governed to an extreme by either emotions or logic.

When wisdom is in the seat of your heart, in the heart, in the seat of your emotions and will, In the seat of your heart, in the heart, in the seat of your emotions and will. Wisdom will govern your emotions. Wisdom will govern your logic, your will, the decisions that you make. Enterth or will enter. This is the modern way of saying it. That says this is a divine act. You didn't do it. You don't have the control to make wisdom enter into your heart. Yes. What you have control of is the pursuit of wisdom

Once you pursue wisdom God takes over and says I'm putting it in your heart, right And now it's going to impact your emotions and your will So you could have a person that's very emotional and over time people say, you know, I noticed he or she is not as emotional as they used to be. Hey, they're starting to act and talk with wisdom or you could have a person that's totally logical. You know, I notice he's starting to get a soft heart. He's starting to show some human compassion because wisdom's inside, wisdom entered into the heart. And the second part, and knowledge is pleasant.

Yes. says knowledge should be desirable, should be a tasty delight. The man or woman who loves God and is pursuing wisdom and understanding will delight in embracing truth. Yeah, Psalm 119, 103 says, how sweet are thy words unto my taste, yea sweeter than honey to my mouth. There you go, Doc. That's it. That's that pleasant, that pleasantness of wisdom and knowledge from the Lord. Put that spoon in and pull that spoon out and go,

oh, that's so good. Sweeter than honey. See, the people that are missing morning manna or missing other Bible studies, they're missing out on licking the spoon. We're a group of spoon lickers. Just think about it from now on. At 8 a.m., you're gathering with a worldwide collection

of spoon lickers. Why? Because students who pursue knowledge view it as desirable. Yes. And they cultivate a taste for it. Yes. And they cultivate a taste for it. Their spiritual taste buds become acclimated to the sweetness of God's Word. And it's pleasant. It satisfies your soul. It gets down inside your soul and your soul says, mm, mm, mm, that's so good. Sweeter than honey.

Sweeter than honey. Now rebel, a rebel hears the word and balks, puts up fight. But the man or woman who submitted to God says, oh, I got to have another taste of that. That's why you're all showing up every day, five days a week. Some of you have been here for over two years. Yeah, because you're addicted to the sweet taste that's on the spoon every day.

And you got to have it. Third segment, unto thy soul, to your soul. The soul is the recipient of wisdom's joy. This knowledge is pleasant to your soul. It's your soul that's being satisfied. It's your soul that's hungry. Give me another spoonful of that stuff. Yes.

Oh, this is good. So the soul is enjoying your pursuit of wisdom. Your soul is saying to you every day, go get some more. I like it. This is good, good, good. Verse 11. Discretion shall preserve the understanding shall keep thee. So we get break it into three parts. Discretion shall preserve the discretion shall preserve thee this is a discretion will watch over you that's what it's saying discretion will watch over you discretion will be a vigilant guardian standing watch over your life, helping you to make good decisions.

The word discretion means the ability to make wise choices. We all need discretion. And I'll tell you when you need it the most when you have to make a fast decision. Right. Oh, you don have to make a fast decision. Right. Oh, you don't have time to go pray. You don't have time to go seek. It's like you got to make a decision. That's when you need discretion to come up to the top.

Right. And discretion only comes with accumulated wisdom. Yes. And it's, you can't just be a one-off piety saying. It has to be something that's been internalized that you've swallowed and you've consumed. And the more wisdom you acquire, the more discretion you'll have,

the ability to make those decisions when the situation arises. And so as we're gonna see in the second part of this first, discretion has a preservative value. The second part is understanding shall keep thee. What this says to me is that deep comprehension of God's truth, his wisdom, is also a protector. It has a dual purpose. It guides you, but it also protects you. It fortifies you against the dangers of life. against the dangers of life. Just think of it as a wisdom and understanding are steadfast keepers,

guardians, men at men ready to spring into action, sentries guarding you, protecting you. Again, understanding is wisdom and understanding. Understanding is practical insight. Your understanding means you have the ability to make practical decisions based on God's wisdom. We all need help in that area. Amen. Every day we do. So what we see, and it's actually two parts, I said three, there's two parts,

we finished the second part. But what we're seeing is the implied protective role of discretion and understanding. wide protective role of discretion and understanding. But there's a combined strength in the two. Each one's strong, but together they're invincible. They're two divine gifts working together hand in hand to be a shield to you, to protect you from yourself. I'm always praying, God, protect me from Rick.

Don't let Rick be himself today. And I'm also asking the Lord to protect me from other people who are being themselves. Because that's the other danger. We get outside of the spirit. We step out of the spirit and we start becoming ourselves again. Then we have to get back into the spirit. The worst combination are two people both outside of the spirit at the same time. Something stupid's going to happen. Oh, doc, I was thinking of a story.

I'm going to pass on it. I was thinking of something. So wisdom or discretion, discretion and the synergy is protection, a shield. They guard you, they protect you. Verse 12, to deliver thee from the way of evil from the man who speaks perverse things It's not perverted as perverse Yes, a lot of people think that perverse is the same as perverted. That's not what it's saying Perverse is Proverbs is speaking contrary to the law of God, the words of God. So the first part of verse 12, to deliver you from the way of the evil man. So this tells me that deliverance from evil people is an active

divine intervention. That God is actively watching over your life to deliver you from evil people. to deliver you from evil people. Right. Actually, to deliver you from the way of the evil person. Yes. That's the emphasis there. You're being delivered from the way of this evil person. The evil person's way is more dangerous than the evil person. Oh, that'll preach. Yeah, it just

did dog. It's the way, the evil way that's more dangerous. Because you can get on that path then. So there's active divine intervention in your life. The way, the way of the evil person is their lifestyle of wickedness. It's a lifestyle, it's the way they live. They do evil things just naturally. And then from the man that speaks, from the man that speaks is the segment two. It's talking about the power of words to influence people. That we have to guard our hearts from receiving the words

our hearts from receiving the words of people that do not speak under the anointing of God. Right. They do not speak with the wisdom of God. This This phrase from the man who speaks, it identifies the source of the danger as the person's words. As we just said in the other part, the evil man. What was really dangerous is the way of the evil man. And now what this is telling us is the words of the evil man is what's dangerous. The way and the words of the evil. That's what you're being protected from. The evil person is secondary.

The evil person's ways and the evil person's words are the primary threat to your well-being. Amen. And so, and I think we see here of the evil man, it's like the word of God is saying saying, there's a specific person involved. This is not a general reference. There's an evil person coming towards you. Right. Someone assigned to you. Yes. When God desires to bless you, he sends a person. When Satan desires to destroy you, he sends a person. You need wisdom to discern who is who. Yes. But thank God the Holy Spirit is there as a shield. To

deliver. To deliver you. Sometimes we get burned we get too close to an evil person's ways and their words. What we need to be praying for is Holy Spirit discernment that a person's words and ways are contrary to God. Then you know, I need to part company. And this person speaks throw word things, perverse things. This person speaks words that corrupt. This person speaks deceitful speech. Yes.

See, a person can speak like a religious person and be forwardoward. Yes. They can speak Christianese. You know all the words and the phrases that Christians use, they make you think that they are a true saint, but they're actually deceptive. Yes. but they're actually deceptive. Yes. Because in their heart is rebellion. Right. And that word that's being used there

that gets translated into modern translations into perverse. But the root word in the Hebrew Aramaic is from the word twist, to twist something. That's the root word, something twisted. And so what's happening here, the man that speaks twisted things, twisted things, distorted things. There's an element of truth to it, but it's twisted.

Yes, they speak twisted, crooked words. On the surface, it may sound right, but they're twisting things. They are deceptive. They're corrupt. Verse 13, who leave the paths of righteousness, excuse me, who leave the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness. So this speaks of the deliberate choice to forsake righteousness.

This is a deliberate choice. A person in their heart, the seat of their emotion and their will says, I am going to go on the crooked path, the perverse path. I'm going to go away from God. This is a choice I'm making. They forsake the path of righteousness, of uprightness.

They abandon God's righteous ways. Uprightness speaks of integrity, godliness. So this verse is warning of the danger of walking away, abandoning what you know in your heart is the righteous way of God. Be grateful, be thankful that your heavenly father, that when he sees a righteous man or woman who is wounded, wounded by the affairs of life. And that person is starting to wobble, starting to stray off the path.

The Holy Spirit is there to grab them. Like the shepherd, he's the good shepherd. Hey, little sheep, you're not gonna leave. I'm not gonna let you go off this path. There's a wolf over here. But he's guarding guarding he's protecting so I'm saying you rest in the Lord rest in the Lord he'll watch out even when we are our weakest because he knows your heart to to walk in the ways,

who leave the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways. Again, a chosen lifestyle, an active decision to embrace an alternative path. To walk implies a consistent habitual movement. A walk is different than a step. You can take a step in the wrong direction, but you're not walking in the wrong direction. You take a step in the wrong direction. That's when the shepherd says, come back here.

Walking is when you push the shepherd away and go, I'm going this direction. Walking is when the sheep turns and bites the shepherd. Yes. A step, a misstep is not the same as a walk. I can step off the sidewalk and catch myself or the Lord catches me and says, whoa, look where you're at. But to walk across the street without looking at traffic,

I'm gonna get hit. Yeah, you're a fool. All right, there's a calamity coming. It's called a truck. But the misstep, stepping off the sidewalk, is not the walk. The walk is when you say, I'm going across the street and I'm not looking either way for traffic.

That's the difference here between a step and walk. You know, when I first went to St. Kitts in the Caribbean many, many years ago, you know, I had to get used to the fact that they do the British driving thing You know the Brits drive on the wrong side of the road The Brits may know English, but they don't know driving They have steering wheels on the wrong side of the car

Steering wheels they got it all messed up. I remember that that first time driving like that. It was just so weird Yeah, it messes you up. But Doc, I remember one trip, I was in downtown Bastair, the capital city of St. Kitts, and I was going across the street. And by habit, I looked one direction to see if the traffic was coming in that lane. And I started to step out and a man grabbed me a local grabbed me he grabbed the back of my head so stop I looked over to my other side oh

wait a minute I'm walking into the lane of traffic see it was a misstep See, it was a misstep. I was spared a calamity. Wisdom drew you back. Wisdom said, hey, that's dumb, that's foolish, don't do that. But if I continued every day I was there to step out in front of traffic, eventually there's going to be a calamity. Right. That's what this is teaching. And so to walk in the ways, the ways of what? Of darkness. You're choosing darkness over light.

Darkness is the absence of God's light, the absence of truth. Satan lives in darkness because there's no truth. He's the prince of darkness. So the path of the wicked is dark, it's moral and spiritual blindness, darkness. And rejecting God's word will plunge you into a world of darkness. You'll be lost. You'll be blind.

Darkness also speaks of deception and destruction. I mean, we always think bad stuff happens in the dark, doesn't it? Right. And evil people lurk in the darkness. They do their worst evil in the darkness. What is it about that with criminals? Why do they wait until the sun goes down to do their crimes? Well, because they won't be seen.

That's the idea. That's it. So Satan likes to hide. He likes to be concealed in darkness. Tells us as Sons and daughters of God that we have to resist the seductive pool of darkness It's seductive it's pulling you in it's like it's got a magnetic power to it Satan's always telling people hey fun stuff happens in the dark Come on over walking the darkness with us. Verse 14, who rejoiced to do evil and delight in the perverseness of evil.

King James says, and delight in the fowardness of the wicked. I'll just break it down in the segments. Who rejoice to do evil. This depicts the perverse, twisted, wicked joy of those who enjoy wickedness. Right, and it contrasts back with verse 10 where the righteous seek wisdom and it's pleasant to them. The spoon lickers. It's a great taste to them, but to the wicked, evil is what they feast on. They rejoice in it. They get pleasure from evil. They get pleasure from evil. Yes. They get a perverse, twisted, sick pleasure from evil.

So, Doc, I think, you know, what I told you about the Armenian spirit-filled Pentecostal Christians who God rescued before World War one. The ones that came to America they were called the Molokans. Right. They were the milk drinkers. Where did that come from? Well the Russian Orthodox Church had certain feast days and you were not allowed to drink or eat anything that had dairy products in it. And these spirit-filled Armenian Christians would drink milk on those days. So they got the title, they got the moniker, the milk drinkers. But in Armenia it was called the Molokans.

So this morning, man of class, we're going to end up being called the spoon lickers. No function, the spoon lickers over there. We're the spoon lickers. We're putting that spoon in and licking all of it off. Say, that was good. I want another bite. Why do you get a morning man of five days a week? Oh lick that spoon They won't even know what you're talking about You just tell them i'm a spoon licker You had to come with me So these people rejoice to do evil they embrace wickedness and they enjoy it

See, there's one thing to embrace wickedness but to actually enjoy it Man, that's. They celebrate evil. Yes, they delight in it. Yes. just getting a flash in my mind of Benjamin Netanyahu. Here's the man that enjoys doing evil. He enjoys it. He likes killing people every day. That's sick. He's twisted. And delight in the forwardness or the perverseness. They get delight in doing perverse things.

Brings them pleasure. The more corrupt their behavior, the more pleasure they have. Difficult to believe that there are people like this, but obviously they are. Or the world wouldn't be so messed up, would it? That's right. The world is run by perverse people. You got a president of a European nation who snorts cocaine on a train and gets slapped in the face by his tranny pedophile wife. How perverse is that? And they delight in it. And they delight in it. And they've got nuclear weapons. Okay. Now you see what this looks like.

You want to see why the world is so wicked and evil and messed up? Because they actually delight in their evil. Of the wicked. They actually delight in their evil. Of the wicked. They delight in the perverseness of who? Of the wicked. It defines the source of this perverse behavior. It says that the wicked are a distinct group. There are people in this world that God's angels have stamped their forehead big letters

wicked. Maybe you can't see it. I can't see it. But God's angels see it wicked, evil. God's telling the angels, keep your eyes on them. They're up to no good. They're wicked, they're evil. They enjoy their sin. There is no repentance, there's no sorrow.

There's no remorse. There's delight and joy and rejoicing in their wicked behavior. Verse 15, whose ways are crooked and they forward in their paths. Those paths are crooked and who are perverse in their ways. Yes. and who are perverse in their ways. Yes. So this first segment, whose ways are crooked,

whose paths are crooked. This is giving us an imagery of crooked paths, crooked ways, crooked behavior, morally twisted lifestyles. Yes. 24-7. We're not talking about a one-time moral failure. I'm talking about a lifestyle of living perversely.

Again, crooked, this signifies deliberate deviation from God's truth. They made a decision and embraced it. And they know that they are in rebellion against God. And that's part of their sick, twisted joy. They've made an alignment with Satan. And Satan is their God. It's frightening to me, Doc, when I see tattoos or drawings, people openly extolling Satan as their God. Right. I don't get it. I mean, even if you, you know, were a fan of Satan, would you want to do that? I mean, people are doing it all the time.

You see the graffiti, you see the tattoos on people, but they've made a decision. And God calls those folks fools. You're glorifying wickedness. You're glorifying wickedness. Every perverse path has a dead end with no escape. Every perverse path has a dead end and it's one way. One way and no way out. And it's one way.

One way and no way out. The second part of this verse, and they, and they forward, it means, and those who are perverse. This is emphasizing the deliberate nature of perversity. It characterizes the wicked as willfully perverse. Yes, crooked and perverse. People who have a stubborn rejection of righteousness, who are knowingly rejecting God or rebelling against God in their paths, this is the third part,

in their paths, in their ways. So again, a path being the course of your life. Their path, it's identifying, it's their path, it's their course, they chose this path. This is, their path is a consistent lifestyle. Again, it's not talking about somebody that momentarily stepped off the path of righteousness and almost got hit by a car.

No, somebody who's someone who followed the crooked path, someone who followed the perverse way, somebody who read the sign and said, crooked, evil, perverse road. And they said, that's the one I'm taking. That's right. It's a deliberate choice. Again, path, ways, we're talking about habitual patterns,

a lifestyle, a lifetime of living this way, their path, personal accountability. You own that path. As not the other person's path, it's yours. You've got your name on it. Verse 16, to deliver thee from the strange woman even from the stranger with flattereth with her words First part segment this first segment of verse 16 to deliver thee from the strange woman a Strange is not talking about weird We got three eyes. Okay, that's not what this is talking about. What this verse is talking about is wisdom's protective role to guard you from people who will harm emotionally, physically, whatever. Morally?

Yes. It's saying that there are people who have seductive influences and you've got to watch out for them. A strange woman is not just females. It's anybody who entices you to immorality or to idolatry. Right. They both go together. Right.

But it's telling us wisdom's power to save, to protect, to guard. So what I'm learning out of this doc is for myself is that wisdom, our pursuit of wisdom is not just to make right decisions. I need wisdom to guard me. For mad decisions. Yes. I'm seeing in this today the role of wisdom in my life to protect me. Protect me from whom? Even from the stranger. This stranger is foreigner, but it doesn't mean somebody from another country.

A foreigner, a sinner, unsaved sinner is a foreigner to a saved saint. He lived in two different countries. So the stranger is somebody separated from God. The foreigner is separated from God, living in a land outside of the kingdom of God. And so it's telling us to be cautious of relationships with those who are living outside the kingdom of God. Be careful. Oh boy, I'm gonna say something. Buckle up, buttercup.

If you have any little children right now, this is the time to pause, okay? If you have any children children right now, this is the time to pause, okay? If you have any children in the room right now, this is the time to pause, okay? You can fast forward. But there's no such thing as a Christian whore. Amen. There's no such thing as a Christian whoremonger.

Amen. There's no such thing as a Christian whoremonger. We have to identify that there's behavior that we can't condone. Even if we have practiced it, we have to say that is outside the kingdom. You can't have sexual relations with somebody who's outside the kingdom. And if they're inside the kingdom, they're not going to violate the law. Okay. You just have to say this behavior is inside the kingdom, they're not going to violate the law. Okay, you you just have to say this is This behavior is outside the kingdom Yes

Um So even from the foreigner even from the stranger Is reinforcing the identity of the tempter as somebody outside the covenant of God. Right. That's a good point, Rick. That's what it is. The tempter is somebody outside the kingdom of God. The stranger, the foreigner does not share a spiritual bond with you. But they have subtle threats, subtle dangers. They can influence you very deceptively. Right. Which flattereth with her words,

persuasive words, words that appeal to your ego. Oh, Satan knows what you desire to hear. Oh, he's got somebody to say it to you. He knows where you're lacking. He knows where you're hurting. And he's got somebody to say the words to you. Yes. They flatter you. They will divert you from the path to take you on a perverse path. Yes. So we lower our guard when we start listening to the flattering words. So the first thing we have to do is guard our hearts Against flattery because the flattery appeals to pride

Or desire unmet needs What happens in marriages a Woman who feels neglected by her husband. It's Satan will send people to her every day. Hey, sweetie, what's your name? Same way, the husband who feels spurned by his wife goes to work and hey, secretary says, man, you smell good today. See, these are flattering words. Satan is saying, yeah, go ahead, listen to it. Go ahead, get closer. I've got a trap for you. But wisdom will tell you, you need to run. Verse 17, which forsaketh the guide of her youth and forgetteth the

covenant of her God. This portrays the guide, wisdom, as your friend. Wisdom is your friend. Wisdom is your mentor. Wisdom is your closest friend, your spouse. This is wisdom is saying, I'm here with you all the time. But this person forsakes the guide of her youth. And what is she? She's a covenant breaker. She's a covenant breaker. You. She's a covenant breaker. Hey, you may not think, well, that's not that big of a deal. No, that's a big deal with God. You have abandoned the covenant that you've had with God.

So this is a person that used to be in the covenant. Yes. She forsakes the guide of her youth. At one time when she was young, it could be a guy too, at one time when they were young, they were walking upright. They had not been defiled. They were still, they had some purity,

but they forsook it. They walked away. So it was a deliberate act of desertion. That's right. So it's not just a matter of as as bad as it is of sexual infidelity, but that this is that path of covenant faithfulness or lack of it rather unfaithfulness and it's the

Another way to say it is they've abandoned the sacred for the seductive. Yes. They've just given up. And if she'll do it to herself, she'll do it to you. Yes, and the second part says, and forgets the covenant. Yes. What covenant? I don't remember a covenant. They forget the covenant that they made with God. They forget the sacred agreement they had with the Lord. But the Lord says this is a binding commitment. I'm sticking to it. I'm sticking to the terms of the covenant and you will too. But the person that forsakes says, no, I'm sticking to it. I'm sticking to the terms of the covenant and you will too, but the person of forsakes says no I'm out of it. I'm I'm I'm opting out

But there are no up outs in covenants They're not contracts They don't have Cancellation clauses, right? They don't have cancellation clauses. Right. Imagine God's entering into a covenant with Abraham and Abraham says, and could you just tell me exactly what the clause is to get out of this contract?

What's the fine print? Mm-hmm. Forgets the covenant of who? Of her God. That's the third part of this verse. Forgets the covenant of her God. It's speaking about God's ownership and authority of our lives.

She has forgotten, or he has has forgotten the covenant with her God. All right, doc, that's it for me. Well, if I could throw one more verse in on that last part, Jeremiah 2 32 says, Can I made forget her ornaments or bride her attire yet my people have forgotten me days without number. They went out of their ways to forget God. And this whole passage here today talking about the evil man or the seductive woman, these aren't just, you know, esoteric spiritual principles that no one can understand. This is practical day-to-day stuff that we're dealing with every day. We're all tempted to go on a perverse path. We're all tempted to listen to those seductive words. So,

it's very practical information, very practical wisdom that we're receiving today. Not only that you can swallow in your own life to digest like pleasant honey, but that you can teach others as well. So it's really not taught in the church today. This kind of stuff now, is it Rick? No, not much of anything he's taught in churches anymore. Yeah, they'll build a roller coaster on the platform, but they won't teach about discerning the evil man or the seductive woman. So, you know, they'll actually bring the evil

they'll bring the evil man and the seductive woman onto the platform. Yeah, and we've seen that in recent years. So things that we never have been in a church service. That's right.
