 Okay, let's pray. Let's get started. Why don't we just spend some time just praying in the spirit, praying in tongues. And I just want to encourage us to pray out what the Lord puts in our heart. What the Holy Spirit, what He puts in our heart to pray. Okay, so it could be for yourself. It could be for someone else. It could be for anything, you know, maybe for the nation. Whatever it is, the Holy Spirit prompts or leads us to pray. We'll pray that, right? So, individually you just pray, you pray in the spirit, you pray in tongues loud enough so you can hear. So, and I just want to encourage the online class also to do that. You pray in the spirit and loud enough, if you're able to, if you're in a private place, setting. And if you can do that, let's spend some time doing that. Thank you, Father. Father God, we honor you this morning. We just invite you, Lord, in our midst of Father God to have, Lord, a pre-eminence, a master. We surrender our lives, Lord, into your mighty hands, O God. Yes, Lord, spirit, soul and body, Lord, we belong to you because you purchased us with your precious blood. Just continue to pray in the spirit. Open your mouths, just pray in tongues, pray in the spirit. Let's just stir up our spirit. Engage with the spirit of God. Put aside all weirdness, tiredness, or even, you know, passivity in our mind, in our spirit. Just put it aside. Let's engage with the heart of God. Thank you, Lord, for the plans that you have for us are good plans. Lord, plans to prosper, not to harm. Lord, thoughts of peace and not of calamity. Thank you, Jesus. O God, this morning we just pray for a replacement of fleshly thoughts, of selfish ambitions. Father God, with the heart of God, with the mind of Christ. Lord, we pray for a spiritual mind, O God. A mind that is focused on you. We ask for a heart of Father God that is moved to the things that you are moved for, God. Thank you, Father God. Thank you, Lord. We bless your name. Father, we pray that this is our desire, that you would take us further deeper in you, Father God. Further deeper in your ways, O Master Lord. We just want to thank you for your grace, Lord, and your mercy. Lord, we thank you for the precious blood which you shed for us, Lord, on the cross. Because of which, O God, you have made this new and wonderful and perfect way for us, O Lord. Lord, you have given us access, Lord, to come to your presence. Lord, to receive grace and to receive mercy, Father God. We thank you, Lord. We thank you that we can come right to the throne, God. We can come to your presence, Father God. We thank you that there's nothing limiting, there's nothing hindering us, Lord. We thank you. We thank you. We bless your name, Father God. We come at this time. We come at this day into your mighty hands. We give you all the praise and all the glory. In Jesus' matchless name, we pray. Amen. Amen. Okay, let's just pick up from where we stopped last class. Last class we were looking at, you know, some of the divine principles and the last couple of divine principles. Principles whereby God, principles that are there in the Word of God and if we would do them, that the Lord would, you know, prosper us. And these are things that he has put in place. So we are, let me just share the screen. So one of the privileges, greatest privileges for us is that we have the indwelling presence of God, right? Many times we don't realize it or we, I don't know, we don't really value it. The fact is that the Holy Spirit, we try and God Holy Spirit, He indwells us, right? And just the awareness of that and the revelation of that, right? And the daily practice of leaning and listening and obeying what He has to tell us, what He has to lead us will really change our life, change our life for the better, right? Change our walk with God, it will be even closer, right? So one of the principles that we have in Scripture is to listen to the Holy Spirit, listen to the Holy Spirit. See, what are some of the characteristics of God, attributes of God? You know, when you say, okay, He's God, right? When you say He's God, He's Triune God, He's God, what are some attributes, what are some characteristics, qualities because of which we would say, okay, He's God, sorry? Almighty, He's Almighty God. All good, all knowing, all powerful, all benevolent. Yes, so all powerful, all mighty, which means that there's nothing or no one that is greater, that He is the very, if you say He's the fullness, He's the limits, there's nothing beyond that, limitless God rather, there's nothing beyond that. And I think in the Holy Spirit class last semester, we would have studied about pre-basic attributes. One is that He is omnipotent, which is that all powerful. Second one, He's omnipresent, which means He is present everywhere at the same time. He can engage with all of us at the same time, speak to all of us at the same time on different things at the same time. So He's present everywhere. And the third quality that we saw is that He is omniscient, which means that He is all knowing. So there's nothing that He does not know. So He's infinite God, limitless, which means that He has infinite knowledge and understanding. He is limitless. We don't know anybody like that in our human... We could have come across people who are very knowledgeable, who are experts in the field, but their knowledge and understanding also has limits. They might be very knowledgeable, they might know a lot of things, but they also have limits. But when we consider God, we see that He is limitless in His knowledge, limitless in His understanding. So we as believers, we have the privilege of listening to the Holy Spirit and receiving from the Holy Spirit this knowledge, a little bit of that, and this understanding. So that's a great privilege to be led by Him, to be guided by Him, to be counseled by the Holy Spirit. So we might think, okay, on what matters can God really counsel me? On what matters can God lead me or give me wisdom? So naturally we think, spiritual matters. When we say spiritual matters, we're saying, okay, God, I need understanding of the word. I want to know you more. Give me revelation, give me understanding. And as we read through scripture, we get that understanding, oh God, you are like this. God, you are like this also. You get that understanding, revelation of knowledge of God. But we fail to understand that everything, everything there is to know, God knows. You could be a scientist, you could be a businessman, you could be anything in whatever field you are involved in, engaged in. God knows about that subject. God knows about it. Look at this verse, Isaiah 48 and verse 17. Thus says the Lord your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, I am the Lord your God who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way you should go. That's a promise. When he's saying that I am the Lord who teaches you to profit. So he's saying, he's describing himself and he's saying, this is what I do. I teach you to prosper. I teach you to profit, to be successful. In business terms, what is profit? And you say, okay, profit. This is a profitable business. This month we got a profit. What does profit mean? It's gain. You are increasing your income or whatever. I'm sorry? Increasing your... Please go ahead. Pastor, you are increasing your finances. Increase, okay. Yeah, specifically when we say profit, profit is something that is left over after meeting all our expenses. All our overheads. Like typically in a business, you will have overheads like, rent and salary and what a working expenses, all that bills to be paid, etc. After that, what is left over is the profit. So what is God saying? I am the Lord your God who teaches you to profit, who teaches you how to come to that place. It's fascinating. Which means, how can you teach someone unless you know? Only if you know something that you will be able to teach. The Lord is saying, I will teach you to profit, to come to that place of meeting all your expenses and everything and having more than that. I'm the Lord who will teach you to profit, who leads you by the way you should go. So when you say profit, we can also say, I am successful in life. To come to a place of thriving and flourishing and to have success and like you rightly said, increase. So the Lord is saying, I teach you to profit. Which means there is a requirement from us or responsibility that we have in order to be taught, to be teachable. So he's willing to teach. He's saying, I am the Lord your God who teaches you to profit which means that I need to be teachable. I need to receive the teaching from him. And also it says that who leads you by the way you should go. Which means I need to be someone who will follow. It says, Psalm 23 says, the Lord is my shepherd. I will not lack anything. He leads me. So that's something that he wants to do with these people. God wants to lead. Which means we as his disciples, we need to be willing to follow. So that's something that we see as responsibility, as my responsibility. I cannot be passive, but I need to be teachable. Secondly, I need to be a person who is willing to follow. Because from his side, he's promising. He's saying, I will teach you. I will teach you. I'll bring you to this place. Are you willing to be taught? I will lead you. Are you willing to follow? That's the question God will ask us. Let's look at one more verse. Isaiah 28, this is very interesting. Isaiah 28, go through it. I see your question about the assignment, about the quiz. Now, I also saw your comment on the stream and replied, your submission I have not received. All the others have gone. I tried handing in pastor, but it's not going through. Many times I tried. So all the required fields were filled in. I think there was only one required mandatory field, which was the name. But apart from that, everything else was optional. So if you had a problem with the submission, it could be because of that. I'm not sure. I'll check again pastor, but I think I filled everything. Much before the time you scheduled, but it's not the time. So what was the difficulty? What did it say? It just doesn't go. I mean, it doesn't accept. It doesn't say anything, but... I really don't know about that. But now, because the date is crossed, the quiz may not be accessible right now. You won't be able to send anything. But before time pastor, 3 days before the time, again on the last day also, before 10 o'clock, I tried so many times. Okay. So maybe after 12 noon, you can try once more. I'll make it accessible just for you. You can try. 12 noon today? Yeah. Between 12 and 1, I'll keep it accessible. But yeah, you try to check it out. Okay. Thank you pastor. Pastor, please, there is a feedback with John's mic. So it can be muted. Okay. It's not very clear. Maybe you can reduce the volume of it. How's the audio? How's it now? How's the audio? It's okay. Check. Is it okay? Let's see your mic is on. Yeah, that's of John. Maybe that's right. Okay. Can you just mute your mic? Ah, yeah. Okay. How's it now? Better? Better. Better. Okay. Okay. Right. Okay. Let's continue. Okay. So let's look at Isaiah 28 verses 23 to 29. Okay. So this is what God says. Give ear and hear my voice. Listen and hear my speech. Okay. Just look at verse 24 onwards. Does the plow man keep plowing all day to sow? Does he keep turning his soil and breaking the clods? When he has leveled its surface, does he not sow the black cumin and scatter the cumin? Plant the wheat in rows, the barley in the appointed place, and the spelt in its place. Okay. So verse 24 talks about agriculture, about the farmer, and it talks about different kinds of crops, and the way these are, these different kinds of crops are sown. Okay. Talks about cumin, how the seeds are scattered, and talks about the wheat and how it's planted in rows, talks about the barley in its appointed place, etc. Right. Then verse 26, sorry, yeah, 24 and 25 talks about that. Then 26 says, for he instructs him in right judgment, his God teaches him for the black cumin. Now, so verse 26 very clearly says that this knowledge and understanding comes from God. Okay. Then verse 27 says for the, it talks about the reaping and the processing of the crops which are grown. Okay. What does it say? For the black cumin is not threshed with the threshing sledge, nor is a cartwheel rolled over the cumin, but the black cumin is beaten out with a stick and the cumin with a rod. Bread flour must be ground, therefore he does not thresh it forever, break it with his cartwheel or crush it with his horseman. Verse 29, this also comes from the Lord of hosts. Who is wonderful in counsel and excellent in guidance. Okay. So something basic as farming. Okay. So it says that this comes from the Lord our God. This knowledge comes from the Lord our God. And says that he's wonderful in counsel and excellent in guidance. Right. So while we see God for matters of spiritual nature, like the word of God and faith and so on. When we look at this, we see that God knows everything. The Holy Spirit knows everything. And it's a privilege for him to be indwelling us, well for us to have him indwelling us. And it's a privilege for us to be led by him, counseled by him, guided by him. Okay. And that's what we are learning. We are learning about him. We are learning how to be led by the Spirit of God. Right. So one more verse. Daniel chapter 2, 19 to 23. Okay. Then the secret was revealed to Daniel. Just give me a minute. Yeah. Secret was revealed to Daniel in a night vision. So Daniel blessed the God of heaven. Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God forever and ever. For wisdom and might are his. And he changes the times and the seasons. He removes kings and raises up kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding. He reveals deep and secret things. He knows what is in the darkness and light dwells with him. Verse 23, I thank you and praise you, oh God of my fathers, you have given me wisdom and might and have now made known to me what we asked of you, for you have made known to us the king's demand. Okay. So what is the context there? The king has said, you know, I want to know. I want to know the meaning. Right. The meaning of this, of the dream that I had. So, and they seek the Lord and they pray and this is what the Lord has revealed to Daniel. So Daniel is just expounding and he's saying, you know, this is who God is. Might, understanding, wisdom are with him. And he says, you know, now they are mine because you have or reveal that you have transferred that to me. Okay. So what does that mean? That means that for each one of us, right, we could be in ministry, we could be working professionals, we could be, you know, our, our, our line of maybe work or profession, vocation could be many different things. Right. But we have one thing that is privileged to be led by the spirit of God. To be led by the spirit of God, you know, not only in evangelism, in ministering to people in, you know, in the prophetic, in the word of knowledge, word of wisdom, et cetera, not only that, but in the work that we do in finances. When it comes to, okay, Lord, what do I do with the money? How do I use it? How do I save it? How do I invest it? How do I spend it? Right. The Lord has the wisdom and the knowledge. So we could never limit God when you say, no, I don't want to limit God. This is also another area where we can say God. You teach me, you show me, right? There are, you know, especially, you know, Christian businessmen and people. There are so many testimonies of how they came out with innovations, meaning new products, right? Or thought of new discoveries and so on. And how the Lord actually revealed that to them. Right. So for us, why should we limit God? Right? We eat ministry, we eat the work that you're doing. Why should we limit God? You know, we can, many times we think, okay, I need to struggle. I need to, you know, do this. Yes, we need to put in hard work, learn, gather knowledge, but the Lord will give us understanding. The Lord will give us wisdom, right? He can give us that wisdom and knowledge that cannot be, you know, accessed in any other manner. Right? Okay, so we have the privilege of receiving the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Okay, the next one that we see, just again, a principle for financial, you know, prosperity is this, that God gives this prophetic word. You know, many times when he leads us and even this wisdom and knowledge that he gives us, he releases it through a prophetic word. Now, what is prophecy? Yeah. What is prophecy? Bhavishevani, correct, no? What is it? God is speaking to man through man. I'm sorry, just can you repeat that please? God is speaking to man through man. To man through man, right? That's a very simple and very clear, I think definition. It is, it involves so many things, right? It could be about the past, it could be about the present, it could be about the future, but basically it's God speaking, conveying something to man, right? Through another person. So it could be through a group, like what we see. There were people who laid hands on Timothy and prophesied and prayed and like we see Paul and Silas and how people actually got together together and, you know, Paul and Barnabas, sorry, in the church in Antioch, they prayed and they sent them on a missionary journey. So it could be one person or it could be a group, but that's how it is, like a prophetic word. Okay, so Second Chronicles 2020, this is about King Jehoshaphat. Now there was an army coming and so Jehoshaphat seeks God, what should he do with it? And this is what he, you know, he receives, right? This is the instruction. Second Chronicles 20 and verse 20. Okay, so they rose early in the morning and went out into the wilderness of Decoa and as they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, believe in the Lord your God and you shall be established. Believe his prophets and you shall prosper. Okay, so a true authentic word of prophecy that comes from him and that is conveyed in humility and conveyed clearly, right? When we receive it, it is to prosper us. It is to bless us, right? Because it's coming from God and so, you know, you'll be studying about the prophetic and the apostolic and so on, but in detail the whole semester, so that will be very exciting. But we see that, you know, the prophetic word, it could have a, you know, a futuristic direction, right? It would be about the future, right? Or it could be something that will just edify. Okay, if you look at 1 Corinthians 14, just to, you know, give us some understanding what, you know, what a prophetic word does in 1 Corinthians chapter 14. Okay, so verse 3, okay, he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to man. Okay, a prophetic word carries that, edification. What is edification? Any other translation is there? Sorry? Building up, okay, edification. So, you know, when you say, you look at a building, it's called a, you know, another word is edifice or a structure that is built up. So, edification. So, it's all, it also means spiritual, constructive, spiritual progress. So, it brings, builds up something in us. Why? Because it's God's word, right? It is God's word that is coming to man through man. So, it is timely. It is knowledge that we don't have any idea of, but then here is this information, right? So, prophetic word brings edification. Exhortation, it is encouragement, right? It exalts, encourages us. And the third one is, it brings comfort. Edification, exhortation, comfort, okay? Yes, the prophetic word can correct us. The prophetic word can be directional, but this is what it does, right? So, here we see 2 Chronicles 22 where Jehoshaphat says, you know, believe his prophets and you shall prosper. Right? So, it means that a prophetic word which is given the right manner accurately, it builds up people, right? And in this very area of, you know, God speaking to us, he will use the human, other human beings, other disciples, and he will speak to us. Okay, let's look at one more verse. Ezra 6 and verse 14, it says, so the elders of the Jews built, they went to the temple and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they built and finished it according to the commandment of the God of Israel, according to the command of Cyrus, Darius and Arta Zechzius king of Persia. So, it says here, you know, if you look at the first part of it, they prospered through the prophesying. They prospered through the prophesying, which means some good happened to them, right? They were benefited because of the prophesying. Who are those people? It names them as Zechariah and also Haggai. So, they, God used them to prophesy. God used them to bring his word, right? Speak his word, maybe timely, this might be some instructions, but they prospered through that prophesying. Okay, so which means that the prophetic, the prophetic gifting and the prophetic word is for us today. It is to bless the church, which means every individual believer, right? Just want to share one other scripture, which is in 1 Thessalonians chapter 5. Okay, 1 Thessalonians chapter 5 and it says in verse 19 and verse 20. Okay, do not quench the spirit, right? Do not quench the spirit. So, quench is the picture that we have is putting out a fire. Okay, so Holy Spirit is doing something, the fire is burning, but as a human being, I can actually put out that fire. Okay, 1 Thessalonians chapter 5 verse 19. Okay, do not quench the spirit, do not despise prophecies. Okay, this is for the New Testament church. Okay, so as much as we see in the Old Testament, in these scriptures that we saw, believe the prophets and you will prosper and so on. If you're saying, okay, that is Old Testament, now we are in the New Testament, but this is what we see as an instruction for the New Testament believer. Do not despise prophecies. So why would one despise prophecy? This is slightly out of topic, why would one despise a prophecy? Negligence or arrogance? People do not want to be corrected? Maybe it's ignorance. Ignorance. Ignorance, and like you said, arrogance or pride and so on. I'm thinking like, okay, who is this person to talk like this? So it could be that, it could be ignorance of the gifting itself, right? So that's why Paul writes 1 Corinthians 12, the worst one, he says, Brother, I don't want you to be ignorant of the spiritual gifts. It could be because of ignorance. And also, it could be because of misuse or abuse. See, if you look at the property gift, Paul writes to the church in Corinth, 1 Corinthians 12, 13, 14, he's talking about all the gifts, but he's actually saying how it should be used, which means it can be misused. There's a right way of using the gift. There's a wrong way of using the gift. So if people are hurt by a wrong way of the misuse of the gift, maybe I use the gift in order to control. I use the gift in order to get something out of people. So then what do people say? I don't want anything to do with this. I don't want this property because I've just received hurt. People have just used me, manipulated me. So I don't want anything to do with these gifts, especially prophecy. So it is possible that one can end up despising prophecy. So that's why God is very clear in his instructions. Do not quench the Holy Spirit, which means don't stop the work of the Holy Spirit and do not despise prophecies. Look at the next verse. What does it say? Test all things. Test all things. Hold fast what is good. So which means we have been given that instruction. This is what it is. When it comes to the prophetic word, you need to test it. Somebody says, okay, God is calling you to go to this place tomorrow. Test it. And how would you test it? Is it really genuine? Is it the Word of God? Is there a witness in my spirit? Is there a peace within? Confirmation, but two or three other witnesses, so many other ways, right? Where you can test the Word of God. Is it against the nature and character of God? Is it in line with this nature and character and so on? So test the Word of God. Is it okay if at times when you get a prophecy and then you pray to God to ask for another confirmation? Absolutely. So it's not like doubting what is being told. It's not doubt. In the sense, maybe there is no... See, we are spirit, soul and body, maybe in our soul, in our thinking. We're not sure, right? It's something which is... Sometimes the prophetic word can be really fantastic and out of something that we are used to. So it's absolutely okay. We are His children. He's our Father and He's our Shepherd. So it's absolutely okay to ask for confirmation and say, Lord, there's a big thing, big step. It's a very significant move. Maybe something to do with a big decision about, let's say a client, an order, a big investment, maybe relocation, so many things, right? And here comes the prophetic word and it's absolutely okay. And we need to... It's scriptural to test. So we need to do that. So it's saying test all things, hold fast to what is good. Okay, what does that mean? Hold fast to what is good. Hold fast to what is good. What is hold fast? Holding fast, which means you hold tight, get a good grip. And what do you get a good grip on? On to what is good. So what does that mean? What is unsaid in this? So this is what is stated very obviously. Hold fast to what is good. Get a good grip on what is good. And what is it regarding? It's regarding the profiting. It's regarding a prophecy. So don't despise prophecies. Test all things. Hold fast to what is good. So you've tested it. You're holding fast to what is good in that word or the prophetic word that you receive. But what it also means is do not hold fast to what is not good. Yes or no? So don't hold fast to what is not good. Which means there could be elements which are fleshly. There could be elements which are maybe of just a human nature, fleshly and not of the spirit. So that is why the instruction tests all things. Hold fast to what is good. Don't hold fast or just discard what is not good. And it's so important when we're saying, okay, I'm receiving the prophetic instruction. God has actually placed it so that we can prosper. So that we can be edified, encouraged, comforted and we can be prospered. But we need to, this is the instruction that is it. Test all things. Hold fast to what is good. Receive what is good. And as you're testing and you see that there are certain elements which are not from God. I know for a fact it's not from God. And God is actually witnessing to my heart that it's not from Him. Just leave it. If you're not sure, just leave it or put it aside and you go hold fast to what is good, what you know to be true, what you know for sure this is God speaking and go with it. But do not despise prophecies. Do not quench the Holy Spirit. So it's a journey that we're talking about when we say, I want to be led by the Spirit of God. So God leads us and to prosper us through the prophetic as well. Any questions? Also just a general observation. Globally when you actually, it's my observation. Globally when you see the Jewish being more prosperous and reaching great heights on a comparative scale, show your thoughts on it. I don't know. My opinion is probably they had a head start chosen people and it's a known fact that there are more Nobel Prize winners among the Jewish community and so on. And I don't know. Probably it's that. And I mean, but right now, we see that all of us, we are the body of Christ. We have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. So there's no reason why we should not be led by God into these places of increase and success and so on. Any other doubts or questions? Okay, let's move on to the next one, which is, which might seem a little, it might seem a little counter or something very different from being led by the Spirit. It says that the Bible is very practical. It says get wisdom, get knowledge, get understanding. Which means you do your bit in order to learn, in order to get wisdom, in order to get knowledge, in order to learn, get understanding. And the whole book of Proverbs is full of instructions like that. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge and understanding and so on. So it says here, let's look at a few verses. You can actually read Proverbs 1, Proverbs 8, the whole thing about wisdom, 1 to 21. Proverbs 11 and verse 14 says, where there is no counsel, the people fall, but in the multitude of counselors there is safety. So counsel, wisdom, timely counsel. What is counsel? Which means advice, simple words, advice. Advice on various matters could be advice on, what should I do next? Where should I go? So many things. So the Bible is talking that where there is no counsel, where there is no advice, the people fall, but in the multitude of counselors or advisors, there is safety. So which means that advice which is authentic, real, coming from a place of humility to less people, there is safety. But if in the lack of that, there is people fall. Another scripture, Proverbs 12 verse 15, the way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but he who heeds counsel or listens to counsel is wise. Proverbs 15 and verse 22, without counsel, plans go awry, but in the multitude of counselors they are established. So these are all about counsel or advice. Advice from learning, advice from experience, advice, godly advice. So here it's not really, it doesn't say what category it is, but it is because of learning and experience, one is advising another person. Proverbs 19 verse 27 says, sees listening to instruction my son and you will stray from the works of knowledge. What's an instruction? I'm sorry. Guidelines, guidelines to follow. So whenever you get a product, you buy a phone, you get an instruction manual, most of us never read it. We don't read it because, I know how it was, I switch on and then it just leads us, guides us, but the instruction manual has certain functions, right? Like for example, yesterday as, I think Nadel, your mic is, needs to be muted, right? Sorry. Okay, I've done it. Okay, so yesterday, I was just trying to clean the washing machine. So every now and then we need to do that. So I had forgotten how to set it for that cleaning. It has a cleaning mode, right? So I had to get back, I was searching for the manual, I had kept it somewhere and I took it and saw and then there was this thing, okay, this is how you do it. It was a very simple thing, but it was there in the instruction manual, right? So here it talks about instruction, how to do things. What should you do? What are the steps involved? That is an instruction. Instruction, it could be on anything, right? It says here, sees listening to instruction and you will stray from the words of knowledge, will go away from the word of knowledge. So God, our God instructs us. He instructs us in good things. He tells us, he shows us, okay, these are the steps that you need to do, right? So for us to get wisdom, to get knowledge and to get understanding is not wrong, okay? So I think, okay, you know, what if that is worldly? We have to use our discernment. When we say worldly wisdom, what does it mean? It means that that something which is not in line with the spirit of God, right? Worldly wisdom, something that is, you know, something that inflates the pride of man. It's not something that is humble, right? It comes from God. It's worldly nature which means which leads man away from God, okay? So we need to be discerning. Worldly wisdom does that, right? Okay, so in all, for us to be led by God, for us to, you know, prosper in the things of God, it is okay to learn. It is okay to get understanding. It is okay to be educated, right? And right now, if you're thinking about, you know, various things, right, about money, about various topics, now it's all available, right? It's available on the Internet. It's available on various free courses also, right? Suppose it's a language skill. Suppose it's something to do with, you know, our knowledge about a place. It's all available, okay? So here's the instruction, you know, that we will get learning, that we will get knowledge, that we will get wisdom. So we don't have to be against that, right? Many times people don't read the newspaper, right? Why it is worldly? But then, you know, it's information about the world that God has created, right? Yes, it's got a lot of bad news. There's a lot of negative things. You open the paper, this person was killed, bomb blast here, this accident. It's got a lot of things. But then there is information about what is actually happening around us, right? It's the world that God has created. And there's, you know, so we don't have to distance ourselves from learning. We don't have to, you know, distance ourselves from understanding things and gathering information. It's not, you know, that's not what the Bible says, right? So we should be people who want to learn, we should be curious about things. And yes, we need to use discernment. What is discernment? Yeah. So understanding of what is right and what is wrong. And of course, we have the Holy Spirit, you know, who is the spirit of discernment. He teaches us, shows us, right, in all our gathering of information, gathering of knowledge and gathering of wisdom. He shows us something that is not fruitful, not beneficial for us. Okay. Okay, so we'll stop here. Any questions? Any further, any questions? No. Okay, I have, I think, Anusha's comment. See, sometimes when you submit the quizzes, maybe you don't get the confirmation, but you would have got the response, right? That your quiz has been submitted. You would have got that response. But maybe in the Classwork section, it's still showing as a thing. I don't know for whatever reason, but yeah, but for most folks, I've got the results, I've got your submissions. No problem. Okay. We'll stop here. Thank you. God bless. We'll meet in the next class.
