“Proverb’s” main word is “wisdom” or “the Holy Spirit’s way to live a holy life”, “a God-filled life in a God-hating world”. “Proverbs” gives detailed instructions so Christians can live an overcoming life in a world of “steal, kill, and destroy” (John 10:10), a world “gone mad” after power, wealth, and destruction of others, as Proverbs 1:1-19 reveals, for the World Health Organization plans to destroy us.
Proverbs 1:1-19 (NLT)—1 These are the proverbs of Solomon, David’s son, king of Israel. 2 Their purpose is to teach people wisdom and discipline, to help them understand the insights of the wise. 3 Their purpose is to teach people to live disciplined and successful lives, to help them do what is right, just, and fair. 4 These proverbs will give insight to the simple, knowledge and discernment to the young. 5 Let the wise listen to these proverbs and become even wiser. Let those with understanding receive guidance 6 by exploring the meaning in these proverbs and parables, the words of the wise and their riddles. 7 Fear of the LORD is the foundation of true knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline. 8 My child, listen when your father corrects you. Do not neglect your mother’s instruction.
9 What you learn from them will crown you with grace and be a chain of honor around your neck. 10 My child, if sinners entice you, turn your back on them! 11 They may say, “Come and join us. Let us hide and kill someone! Just for fun, let us ambush the innocent! 12 Let us swallow them alive, like the grave; let us swallow them whole, like those who go down to the pit of death. 13 Think of the great things we will get! We will fill our houses with all the stuff we take. 14 Come, throw in your lot with us; we will all share the loot.” 15 My child, do not go along with them! Stay far away from their paths. 16 They rush to commit evil deeds. They hurry to commit murder. 17 If a bird sees a trap being set, it knows to stay away. 18 But these people set an ambush for themselves; they are trying to get themselves killed. 19 Such is the fate of all who are greedy for money; it robs them of life.
Proverbs 1:20-33 is God’s warning to all who refuse to listen to and obey the Holy Spirit when He warns us of satanic deceptive lies, leading us away from Christ, our Wisdom, and into the Antichrist’s total control; and Galatians 4:19-20 is why “Wisdom is referred to as feminine”; yet, many who claim to be “Christians”, are not listening and obeying the Holy Spirit, for they either do not believe 1 John 2:15-17, and James 4:4, or they love the world’s money and pleasure.
Proverbs 1:20-33 (NLT)—20 Wisdom shouts in the streets. She cries out in the public square. 21 She calls to the crowds along the main street, to those gathered in front of the city gate: 22 “How long, you simpletons, will you insist on being simpleminded? How long will you mockers relish your mocking? How long will you fools hate knowledge? 23 Come and listen to My counsel. I will share My heart with you and make you wise. 24 “I called you so often, but you would not come. I reached out to you, but you paid no attention. 25 You ignored My advice and rejected the correction I offered. 26 So I will laugh when you are in trouble! I will mock you when disaster overtakes you— 27 when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when disaster engulfs you like a cyclone, and anguish and distress overwhelm you. 28 “When they cry for help, I will not answer. Though they anxiously search for Me, they will not find Me. 29 For they hated knowledge and chose not to fear the LORD. 30 They rejected My advice and paid no attention when I corrected them. 31 Therefore, they must eat the bitter fruit of living their own way, choking on their own schemes. 32 For simpletons turn away from Me—to death. Fools are destroyed by their own complacency. 33 But all who listen to Me will live in peace, untroubled by fear of harm.”
Galatians 4:19-20 (NLT)—19 Oh, my dear children! I feel as if I am going through labor pains for you again, and they will continue until Christ is fully developed in your lives. 20 I wish I were with you right now so I could change my tone. But at this distance I do not know how else to help you.
1 John 2:15-17 (NLT)—15 Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. 16 For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father but are from this world. 17 And this world is fading away, along with everything people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.
James 4”4-6 (NLT)—4 You adulterers! Do you not realize friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God? I say it again: If you want to be a friend of the world, you make yourself an enemy of God. 5 What do you think the Scriptures mean when they say the Spirit God has placed within us is filled with envy? 6 But He gives us even more grace to stand against such evil desires. As the Scriptures say, “God opposes the proud but favors the humble.”
The Holy Spirit wants us to love God, through Christ Jesus, and not be “an adulterer”, one God created through Christ but who loves the world’s pleasures more than we love God.
So, stop listening to the world and start listening to God and His word, for Christ is Wisdom.
