A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold is as pictures of silver.(Prov.25:11) It is so important to speak the right words to people at the right time to produce the right results. When you think of apples of gold in pictures of silver, then you are thinking of wealth and excellence. When we speak wisdom into the lives of others we are making them wealthy. Therefore we must seek God for He is the source of all wisdom and He will give us just the right words needed at the right time.

#Wherefore art thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet let me walk with thee of thy judgments: Wherefore doth the wicked prosper? Wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously? Jeremiah 12:1 Why does the way of the wicked prosper?
The Hebrew word for treacherously is Bagad, meaning to cover or to pillage and deal deceitfully. Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root: they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and far from their reins. But thou, O LORD, knowest me: thou hast seen me, and tried mine heart toward thee: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter. How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every field wither, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein? The beasts are consumed, and the birds, because they said, He shall not see our last end. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? This is the paradox of Psalm 73:1-17 (A Psalm of Asaph): Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart. But as for me, my feet were almost gone, my steps had well nigh slipped. For I was envious of the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. For there are no bands in their death, but their strength is firm. They are not in trouble like other men; neither are they plagued like other men. Therefore, pride compasseth them like a chain; violence covereth. them as a garment. Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than the heart could wish. They are corrupt and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily. They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth. Therefore, his people return hither, and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them. And they say, How doth God know? And is there knowledge in the Most High? Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches. Verily, I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocence. For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning. If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children. When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me; Until I went into the sanctuary of God, then understood their end. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction. How are they brought into desolation as in a moment! They are utterly consumed with terrors. Thus, the key is to dwell in the sanctuary of God, and you will know their end. Yes, God is good all the time, and follow Him, for He is the source of eternal prosperity
#Bless the LORD, O my soul, O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honor and majesty. Psalms 104:1
The Hebrew word for majesty is Hadar; meaning magnificence, i.e. ornament or splender, beauty, comeliness, excellency and glorious. The Psalmist is praising Jehovah God, the most high, for thou art great, very great and clothed in honor and majesty. We will be praising God in all of eternity. Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain. Who layeth the beams of His chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds His chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind: Who maketh His angels spirits; His ministers a flaming fire. O let us magnify the Lord together. Give him all the glory and honor that belongs unto His name. When Jesus steps out in the clouds, He will use them as His chariots when He carries us from earth to heaven. Song of Solomon 5:3 I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them? God is holy, and we must be clothed in the righteousness of Christ, and we do that when we place our faith in His shed blood at the cross. Then we can shout the majesty of Jehovah God. My beloved put in His hand by the hole in the door, and my bowels were moved for Him. I rose up to open to my beloved and my hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock. I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when He spake: I sought Him but I could not find Him ; I called him, but he gave no answer. We must walk in holiness, and allow His myrrh to clothe us with His righteousness, so that when we call he will answer us. For He is the Rose of Sharon, the bright and morning Star. Let us magnify the Lord God together as He is our Beloved.
#And He called His ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds and said unto them, to Occupy till I come. Luke 19:13 Wait on Jesus.
The Greek word for occupy is Pragnateuonai, for to be busy oneself with, i.e., to trade. For the Son of man is come to seek and save what is lost. And as they heard these things, He added and spake a parable, because He was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought the kingdom of God should immediately appear. He said, therefore, a certain nobleman went into a far country to receive a kingdom for himself and to return. But His citizens hated Him, and sent a message after him, saying We will not have this man to reign over us. And it came to pass, that when He returned, having received the kingdom, then He commanded these servants to be called unto Him, to whom He had given money, that He might know how much every man had gained by trading. Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. Wait on Jesus and trade the ten pounds He has given you. So it is important to use our gifts for the glory of God, and not set a date when Jesus will return, for only the Father in heaven knows the hour when the Son of man will return to set up His kingdom. Anyone who sets a date is a thief and a robber. The pounds represent our talents that the Lord has given to us, and we are to trade them by being busy working for Him in this world. Jesus wants us to occupy till He comes to judge us for our service. So wait on Jesus, for He is never early, or late, He is an on-time God. I made a mistake when I was young and said in my heart that Jesus would come in 1975, and when it did not happen, I was discouraged. That is why we must not set a date, for even Jesus does not know when He will return; only the Father in heaven knows. He is at the right hand of the Father interceding for us down here. In the parable, the good servant gained ten pounds trading for the Lord. So this teaches us we must be busy doing our Master's business. For He will settle His accounts with us when He comes again. Wait on Jesus, for all those who wait on Jesus, will renew their strength and mount up with wings like an eagle and run and not be weary, and walk and not faint. It is going to be a blessed day when Jesus returns, so be ye also ready, for He is coming at a time when we think not. Let us provoke one another to good works as we see the day of Christ's return is near. Jesus told us there would be signs in the heavens, the sun, the moon, and the stars. There would be distress of nations with perplexities, and the sea and the waves roaring. So wait on Jesus and occupy till He comes again for us. There is the parable of the ten virgins, who were told to make sure there would be oil in their lamps. So five of them were wise, and five of them were foolish. The five wise went to the merchants to buy oil, and then the five foolish said Give us of your oil. Then at midnight, the Lord came. The five wise went into the kingdom, but the five foolish were left behind. Wait on Jesus and make sure there is oil in your lamps when He returns. Be busy trading your pounds, and when the Lord Jesus returns, He will say Good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of the Lord.
#For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. Romans 7:18 Who shall save me from this body of sin?
The Greek word for flesh is Sarx, which means the body or human nature, physically and morally, with its passions. Paul is in a conundrum, for that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. For the good that I would I do not; but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that, I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. I find then a law that when I do good, evil is present in me. Who shall save me from this body of sin? It is the problem that we all have in our flesh, to will is present with me, but how to perform that which is good, I find not. We are powerless to live the Christian life in our flesh, it is by the Holy Spirit only that we can live. a godly life. Jesus said If any man is to be my disciple, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me. We must die to self, as Paul said O wretched man that I am, who shall save me from this body of sin? There is therefore no more condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. We can only live a godly life when we put to death the flesh every day and allow the Holy Spirit to control us daily. Paul said: For I can do all things in Christ Jesus who gives me strength. Let us move on by the power of the Holy Spirit, walking in the light as He is in the light, and the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us of all sin. For God is Light, and there dwells no darkness in him. So we must submit to God and resist the devil. Put on the whole armor of God, so that ye can fight against all the wiles of the devil. For it is Christ in me, the hope of glory. Psalms 119:11 Thy word have I hidden in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. This is why we must meditate on the Word of God day and night and hide it in our hearts. For the flesh is weak, but the Spirit is willing. Let us move forward by the power of the Spirit and crucify the flesh and walk in the Spirit. Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, but his delight is in the Word of God. It is God who gives us the strength to live a godly life, and we must allow Him to put to death that fleshly man in us every day. Who shall save me from this body of sin? It is Christ in me, the hope for glory. Put on then the whole armor of God and make no provisions for the flesh, to fulfill its lust. For there is no sin that is not common to man, but God is faithful who will give us the strength to escape it, and to bear it.
#Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 1 John 4:1 Try the spirits to see if they are of God.
The Greek word for spirits is Pneuma, meaning a current of air, i.e., breath or a breeze—the rational soul. Try the spirits to see if they are of God. Hereby, know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God. So the first test is to believe in the virgin birth of the Lord Jesus Christ. If anyone does not believe that, they are of the spirit of antichrist that will come and deceive many. And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God. So the second test is to believe that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, the Greek for Logos, the living Word. That is Jesus Christ. And this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is in the world. So the third test is anyone who fails to believe in Jesus is of the antichrist and does not listen to them. Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world. So the final test is to know anyone who is of this world, is not of God, for the whole world is in the hand of the wicked one, the devil, and greater is the Spirit of God in a Christian than the spirit of the devil in this world. So try the spirits to see if they are of God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. We are under Satanic attacks, and we have to remember that the Spirit of God in us is greater than the spirit of the devil in this world. So try the spirits to see if they are of God. Jesus told us that we would know them by their fruit. For a good tree does not bear evil fruit, and likewise, an evil tree cannot bear good fruit. Judge not lest ye be judged, but if we would judge ourselves, we would not be chastened with the world. Therefore, let us be fruit inspectors looking for the fruits of the Spirit. Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, and faith. Against such, there is no law. So when we see these fruits operating in the spirit, then we know they are of the Spirit of God. The Spirit of God takes the things of Christ and makes them real in our lives. For Satan can transform himself into an angel of light and deceive many. Try the spirits to see if they are of God, and when we do these things, we will escape the corruption in this world, which is through lust. For all that is in the world is the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life. Whosoever is a friend of this world is at enmity with God. Therefore, come out from among them, touch not the unclean thing, and live a holy life separated unto God, which is our reasonable service.
#The beginning of the word of the LORD by Hosea. And the LORD said to Hosea, Go take unto the a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms: for the land hath committed great whoredom, departing from the LORD. Hosea 1:2 Gomer the whore
The Hebrew word for whoredom is Zanuwn; for adultery and idolatry. So Hosea took Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim, who conceived and bore him a son. And the LORD said unto him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel. And it shall come to pass at that day that I will break Israel in the valley of Jezreel. Gomer the whore, is parabolically the wife of Hosea, to warn what will happen to the northern tribes of Israel for committing whoredoms and idolatry in the land. This is a warning to America to repent of the idolatry she is committing today. One nation under God with liberty and justice for all is the motto, but it is not living up to that motto. The immigrants are being sent back, and no longer are we the home of the brave and the free. The national debt is causing inflation to be out of control, and the Fed cannot lower interest rates to improve the economy. This is why Jehovah God told Hosea to marry Gomer the whore, so that he could understand the hurt that Israel was causing to God the Father, the husband of Israel. David learned this from Nathan's parable, Thou art the man, and the sword would not leave his household for committing adultery with Bathsheba. How can Hosea deal with Gomer the whore? He will put her out of the house for all of her whoredoms, and that is similar to what God did to Israel. The nation that forgets God shall be cast into hell. If America does not repent, then this will happen to her. Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD. 2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Jezreel will be the last battle field called Armegeddon where God will judge Israel for her whoredoms, and all the nations that committed adultery and idolatry with them. We must warn Gomer the whore to repent. Hosea will buy her back, and she will become a faithful wife, and God will restore the kingdom to Israel when she repents, and says blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to all people. Brothers and sisters, let us take heed, repent, and turn to the Lord.1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
#But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless, such shall have trouble in the flesh, but I spare you. 1 Corinthians 7:28 If you marry, you have not sinned.
The Greek word for marry is Gameo, meaning to wed of either sex. Paul is telling us that those who marry will have trouble in the flesh. Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give you my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful. I suppose, therefore, that this is good for the present distress; I say that it is good for a man so to be. Art thou bound unto a wife? Seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? Seek not a wife. But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none; And they that weep, as though they wept not and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not and they that buy, as though they possessed not; And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away. If you marry, you have not sinned, even though it may appear at times that you have. Please get to know your spouse and what makes them perform in the marriage. How can two walk together, except they be agreed? Find common ground on which you can agree. For the two of you shall become one flesh. Remember the words of our Lord, who said let not them that God hath joined together be separated. If you marry, you have not sinned. Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed is not defiled, but fornicators and adulterers God will judge. Walk in the Spirit and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh. Learn to disagree, but to be agreeable. This will keep peace in the marriage. Get therapy, and both of you go to it faithfully. Read the word of God every day, for man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. This will keep you grounded in the Word and your marriage. I can say after 38 years of marriage if you marry, you have not sinned. For God said it is not good for man to be alone, so He put Adam to sleep, and took one of his ribs, and formed a woman. Adam was happy and said Bone of my flesh. Marry in the Lord, and you will be happy, for whosoever finds a good wife, has favor with the Lord.
#Jesus wept. John 11:35 Why did Jesus weep?
The Greek word for wept is Dakruo, meaning to shed tears., Then Mary came where Jesus was and saw Him; she fell to His feet, saying unto Him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, He groaned in the spirit, and was troubled, and said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto Him, Lord, come and see. Jesus had told the disciples that He was going to wake up Lazarus. The disciples did not understand, so Thomas said he that sleepeth doeth well. Then Jesus said No, he is dead. When we die, we fall asleep. So this is why Jesus said I am going to wake him. Jesus wept at their unbelief. For Jesus had told them that if they would believe, they would see the glory of God. We are like the man who said unto Jesus, Lord, I believe, but help thou my unbelief. We are so slow to have faith. Romans 10:17 Faith comes by hearing the Word of God. So we must read and meditate on the word of God to increase our faith. Then said the Jews, Behold how He loved him! And some of them said, could not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died? Jesus allowed Lazarus to die so that the glory of God could be revealed. We must remember that faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen. Without faith, we can't please God. So, ye Jesus wept because of their unbelief. All things are possible if only we would believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. One day, Jesus is going to step out of the clouds and shout," Come up hither," and all those sleeping in the graves who trusted in Jesus will be awakened. This is our blessed hope, and I am praying for Sarah, who has a fever, that Jesus Christ will heal her. I believe that Jesus has already healed her, and I am rejoicing in the Lord forevermore. This is the kind of faith we must have to please God. So no matter what your problem is, have faith in God, that He can save unto the uttermost, all those who call upon Him. Pray as the disciples said, Lord, increase our faith. Thank God that as we study His word, He will increase our faith. Jesus wept twice in scripture, and it was at the death of Lazarus, and when He told the Israelites If only you had believed, I would have taken you under my wings as a hen takes her chicks, but ye would not, behold your house is left unto you desolate. We must always believe what the Lord has commanded us to do. He has told us to occupy until He comes again. So let us be about our Father's business, waiting for Jesus to come again.
#Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. Matthew 22:37
The Greek word for love is Agapao, which means to love unconditionally; in Hebrew, it means Agab for much. But when the Pharisees had heard that He had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together. Then one of them, who was a lawyer, asked Him a question, tempting Him, Master, which is the great commandment in the law? This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Jesus told the lawyer, who was tempting Him, that we must love the Lord God with all our heart, and soul, and mind. This is unconditional, for God is a jealous God, and we must not have any gods besides Him. Then Jesus said the second is like unto it: Thou must love thy neighbor as thyself. This is difficult for some people because they do not love themselves unconditionally. The whole law is completed when we keep these two commandments. That means racism has to go, for there cannot be any discrimination in Love. We must ask the Lord to teach us how to love like that. The Greek word for heart is Kardia, for the thoughts or feelings. The Greek word for soul is Psuche, meaning inner being or life and breath, and all thy drive and passion. Then the Greek word for the mind is Dianoia, meaning deep thought, contemplation, and imagination or understanding. These three emotions must be in our love for the Lord God and our neighbor. When we learn to love like that, we have arrived at keeping the whole law of God. This is what God commands of us every day, and we do this by meditating on the word of God. We must hide the Word of God in our hearts, so that we will not sin against God. Love does no evil to his neighbor. So when we do these two commandments, it is by the power of the Holy Spirit. Who indwells us and teaches us how to be like Jesus. Just as the good Samaritan saw the man who had fallen by the road robbed by thieves, he put him on his horse and took him to the hospital, paid his bill, and said If there is any more, to charge it to my account. This is unconditional love. This is the love Jesus has for us, and He is interceding for us at the right hand of the Father in heaven.
#And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God, and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him to prosper. 2 Chronicles 26:5 True prosperity comes from seeking the Lord God.
The Hebrew word for prosper is Tsalach, meaning to push forward in various senses. King Uzziah sought the Lord, and Jehovah God caused him to prosper and push forward in all that he did. When Uzziah was sixteen years old, he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was also Jecoliah of Jerusalem. And he did that which was right in the sight of Jehovah God, according to all that his father Amiziah did. We are about to celebrate Father's Day, and King Uzziah was a good leader for all of us men to follow. True prosperity comes from seeking the Lord God, and that is what Uzziah did even at the age of sixteen. The Bible tells us that righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is an abomination to the Lord. We need to pray for our Fathers to be like Uzziah, who sought the Lord all the days of his life. And he went forth and warred against the Philistines, and broke down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod, and built cities about Ashdod, and among the Philistines. And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gurbaal, and the Mehunims. And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah, and his name spread abroad even to the entering in of Egypt; for he strengthened himself exceedingly. True prosperity comes from seeking the Lord God, as Uzziah did, and he was strengthened exceedingly by the Lord. This is the prosperity that we want for our families, and we as fathers must seek the Lord God with our whole hearts all the days of our lives. We must raise our children in the commands of the Lord and pray for them every day. When we do this, we will see them push forward in the Lord in their lives. When the righteous rule, the people prosper, but sin is a reproach to the people when the wicked are in authority. So if you want success in your life, then True prosperity comes from seeking the Lord God. Do that by reading the word of God every day and meditating on His precepts. If the Lord had not been on our side, our enemies would have overcome us. Yet we see how the enemies of Uzziah gave gifts to him. When a man's ways please the Lord, then even his enemies will be at peace with him. This is what we want as fathers for our families. Be at peace with all men and follow after holiness, for without holiness, no man will see the Lord. True prosperity comes from seeking the Lord God, so do it and you and your families will be prosperous.
