My wife and I have the habit of reading through the Bible over and over again and then listening to expository preaching on the passages we read. So, we came to Ecclesiastes this morning and in searching for messages came upon yours. We were blessed by the truth brought forth in your sermon
Ecclesiastes is my favorite book, for sure. It is a brilliant building of a Tower of Babel, of sorts, by Solomon. Just how close can we get to what God provides us in purpose and direction purely based on human reasoning? That tower of worldly philosophy is shown to be far too short to bring man to the purpose and fulfillment that God can provide him.
Ecclesiastes is my favorite book. 1:9 is my favorite verse “…there is nothing new under the sun.” Such a comfort to know everything we face today is nothing new. Those who fear the Lord and are wise to look to the past and are comforted.
I get it’s you guys favorite book, but do you understand what he saying. This book IS NOT LAW. Its just wisdom, something King Solomon wrote through the Holy Spirit from his experiences.
May Yahweh bless this man for his obedience and love for His ppl, his teachings have brought me so much closer to my Father, thank you Voddie for your life devoted to Gods ppl
Jesus said there WILL be trials and tribulations, so Dr. Baucham is spot on. Ecclesiastes was written by King Solomon via the Holy Spirit just like every Book from Genesis to Revelation. Solomon wrote this Book and Proverbs while living under the Law, but the law/commands/ decrees of God were written by Moses. The Law that Jesus fulfilled for us because we are too sinful, rebellious and weak. Give God all the glory!
I finally decided to listen to this Pastor. I'm glad that I have. He explained that Solomon sought out knowledge and wisdom. Studied everything he could even when he asked The LORD GOD for wisdom. THE LORD provided it by making it available. Wow. Im at 50, and now I will seek earnestly.
Amazing word. Ecclesiastes is top 5 favorites books for me.. it’s really amazing and it shows you that all is worthless unless you have God. All will perish, all is given away after you die.. but if you have Christ then you’ll be in glory forever after this world.
Ive been reading Ecclesiastes in the morning with my daughter and then last night during dinner I turned on RUclips to find a video. This was my top recommendation when we opened the app on our tv and I’m so glad we watched this! I’m rewatching it again today. God bless you Pastor!
When first saved, i was told that Ecclesiastes, was considered the most difficult book to understand. I was told the same thing about reading mere christianity. I found both, to be clear, sensible, and quite easy to get. Im 62, i can use the phones to call, and get on a web site, beyond that, i do NOT, wish to know these things. When introduced in 2007, i said emphatically, that these things mean big trouble. I naturally go to paper maps. See, tech, is like a man, running down a hill. I can PROMISE, IF HE IS NOT CAREFUL, AND RUNS TOO FAST, HE WILL FACE PLANT, HEAD OVER TEA KETTLE, HARD. Same with tech. Tech is knowledge, but not wisdom.wisdom, can only be good. Knowledge can be good, or evil, equally. Bad knowledge teaches us, in a different direction.
Brilliant. Your message spoke to me. God always sends a man. My prayers for you and your family that you will have the strength to resist the devil and fulfill the purpose God has for your life. To God be the glory.🙏
Thank you, very clear explanation for us that want to follow every principle and law in hopes of a better life or future. I come to the place where I depend on him for every breath and anything more than that is a blessing and beyond.
The whole matter is to surrender completely to God. Trust God completely because He alone is sovereign. Guard your heart against fear, bitterness, wickedness, covetousness, deceit, and disbelief.
People today don't know what they have. When they realize the potential they have in God,all these things really won't matter. The word of God says that 'heaven and earth will pass away, but my Word will never pass away '.
This man is so very anointed. I thank God for the gift He gave this wonderful man. I can't get enough of how he explains the Word in such an understandable way.
I am always amazed at how God confirms His Word thru faithful pastors . My pastor just preached on this very subject Sunday. I assume I will hear a third teaching on this or read something in the bible confirming these truths
Proverbs 9:10 says, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” Basically, this verse teaches that the fear of God is foundational to true wisdom; all other types of learning are worthless unless built upon a knowledge of the Lord Himself. Many other passages talk about the fear of the Lord (e.g., Psalm 111:10; Proverbs 1:7; 14:27; 15:33). Before we can understand how the fear of the Lord leads to wisdom, we need to define what the Bible means by “fear” in this context.
How and what defines the fear of God? I really want to know? Understanding His Holiness and Justice? His impossible Grace through Jesus death on the cross? Thanks! :)
No matter how challenging the path may seem, have faith that God is guiding your steps. With Him leading the way, you can overcome any obstacle that lies ahead. Amen.
Perhaps the Amish are wiser than most of us. They are not slaves to technology. They aren't mind controlled by social media. They aren't enticed by the corrupted fashion industry. They live simply....not worldly. Grateful for them.
That was a great sermon. I must have read Ecclesiastes 50 times but I have a little better understanding of it now. I love to hear this man's sermons....
The opening of this sermon is so powerful, giving me a new look at how I received the world. Man oh man this was for me to hear. Thank you Father and please blessed your messager Voddie Baucham. Wow!
I think the gifting of God and the love for him is to Him from Him forever. My desire for the word of God is a gift. I am so glade God is generous. All of our abilities are from God and He deserves all the praise. Lean not on your understanding but in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your pathway straight!
When I read Ecclesiastes I fell in love with it. It’s spoke so directly to my life-the pain, the suffering, the loss-and it allows the reader to know the wonderful teachings and admiration for life and Yah through sufferings and struggles. The rocky road prepares the feet for the next stretch of miles up ahead. 🙏🏻 praise the Most High at all times
This message came right on time. Just 2 nights ago I woke up and couldn't go back to sleep, the Holy Spirit lead me to read Ecclesiastes. I didn't question, I was just obedient. After reading it I said I'm going to have to do some studying on this, then God had me come across this video. I so appreciate this man of God's teachings.
Thank you for preaching the truth Voddie! The world desperately needs the true undiluted Gospel. The culture has morphed into a monster that needs to be pierced with THE Sword.
Voddie, you may like to know I had just finished Ecclesiastes recently and naturally had serious questions regarding the meanings. Your sermon was no doubt delivered for the benefit of your fellow believers at just the prime moment. Many thanks for your obedience and diligence.
POINTS I MADE THROUGHOUT: “Stop looking for hidden sins every time something goes wrong” (there may be one but stop looking for curses) - learn to think biblically! God intends for us to seek wisdom and knowledge. Solomon was wise and knowledgeable because he was RELENTLESS (devoted his heart) to studying everything! Wisdom and knowledge have their limits, he has tried but failed. No one can be fulfilled by wisdom and knowledge alone. “We cannot solve every problem” (vs.13) “You will never be wise enough or have enough knowledge to defeat death” (Matthew 8) Knowledge is insufficient without the knowledge of God There is wisdom that is wicked… “All the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden IN Christ” 37:49 powerful questions and deep stuff‼️ “Are you pursuing wisdom so that you could get stuff or so that you could know God?”
1 Kings 3:1-15 Lord appeared to Solomon during the night in a dream, and God said, “Ask for whatever you want me to give you.” 6 Solomon answered, “You have shown great kindness to your servant, my father David, because he was faithful to you and righteous and upright in heart. You have continued this great kindness to him and have given him a son to sit on his throne this very day. 7 “Now, Lord my God, you have made your servant king in place of my father David. But I am only a little child and do not know how to carry out my duties. 8 Your servant is here among the people you have chosen, a great people, too numerous to count or number. 9 So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong. For who is able to govern this great people of yours?” 10 The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for this. 11 So God said to him, “Since you have asked for this and not for long life or wealth for yourself, nor have asked for the death of your enemies but for discernment in administering justice, 12 I will do what you have asked. I will give you a wise and discerning heart, so that there will never have been anyone like you, nor will there ever be. 13 Moreover, I will give you what you have not asked for-both wealth and honor-so that in your lifetime you will have no equal among kings. 14 And if you walk in obedience to me and keep my decrees and commands as David your father did, I will give you a long life.” 15 Then Solomon awoke-and he realized it had been a dream.
Voddie baucham is not reading the bible correctly or he add something because if you look it up for yourselfs y'all will see he says all under standing and knowledge of God's mystery which is Christ. Colossians 2:2 King James Version 2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
i disagree Pastor fetal milari or just the trac dynamics of Cell that interupt or disconnect the Orientation of the Dynanuclaic acids and this i believe can initiate the catalyst genetically that result in Blindness or the complete opposite that becomes the fuel of mutation that consumes tissue and neurorecptive processes light deficiancies or intensities etc.
I love Voddie but I’m not understanding. I have been doing a study on Proverbs and this is what I ascertain. There is a worldly wisdom which tends to be what we would consider knowing or knowledge. (Acts 7:22) But wisdom leads us unto righteousness, the wisdom of God (Jesus Christ). This wisdom helps us to live soberly, live righteously and to exact the right justice(judgement) proverbs 31 . 1-9. Now the dark sayings in Proverbs are not promises in the sense of (training up a child in a way they will go and they will not depart from it) but there are many in proverbs that are.
As much as I like Voddie even he gets it wrong. Im almost starting to think He's a preterist (definitely post millennial) and ever since I realized that, im more careful about his hermeneutics
I fell in love with Ecclesiastes exactly for the reason pastor Voddie says most do not like it. It hit me earlier this year as I did my morning devotional and I realized that a while hearted pursuit of wisdom was the source of Solomon’s wisdom. Not a natural endowment. I saw clearly that Solomon pursued pleasure and gained wisdom in that pursuit. I saw the beauty in gaining experience and pursuing life in full, with the understanding that we will be brought into judgment for our errors in the pursuit (Ecclesiastes 11:9)
I forget where I heard or read this, but I heard that the love of Christ is the end of Wisdom. Much like the fear of him is the beginning of wisdom. Does anyone know where this came from?
Proverbs 9:10 says, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” Basically, this verse teaches that the fear of God is foundational to true wisdom; all other types of learning are worthless unless built upon a knowledge of the Lord Himself. Many other passages talk about the fear of the Lord (e.g., Psalm 111:10; Proverbs 1:7; 14:27; 15:33). Before we can understand how the fear of the Lord leads to wisdom, we need to define what the Bible means by “fear” in this context.
Ecclesiastes book is written vanity,vanity without God under heaven...i love this book by Solomon...the regret n lesson teaches us to not to live vanity life 😊Dr.baucham preaching is doctrinal n truth'.
WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE WITHOUT DISCERNMENT IS NONSENSE. Solomon is the best example of that. He is considered the wisest man on earth after Jesus, and he sinned badly against God having 1,000 women who turned his heart after other gods. He had 700 wives, who were princesses, and 300 concubines. And his wives turned away his heart. For when Solomon was old his wives turned away his heart after other gods, and his heart was not wholly true to the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father. (1 King 11:3-4 ESV)
Vodie, I like you, I like your preaching, but using the "moon landing" to make a point is foolish, using the "covid 19" bug to make a point is foolish.. Use examples that are real, not fake
Guides us to make choices that are right for the relationship we want with Jesus while surviving in a world full of sin without getting sucked into the world of the flesh without falling. And MOST of all that GOD is in charge NOT US!!!
Sir, i love u i just found u and You are The best Real Preacher...Everr. i sooooo want to discuss with u somehow about Death i mean Really because i think everyone isgetting it wrong!! Here's a hint if you are Dead you are not Alive so.. think of that in conjunction with Hell 2nd Death.
Just reading the comments has me sure I don't want to listen to the sermon. So many lost souls. Why are there so many denominations...... then they have to change due to the limited number of "Christians". UGH everyone let's their ego into this starting with Martin Luther and the Reformation...... owing to the sinful nature of man that permeated the early Church. Made it so easy for the LESSER demons to work to this day............ I say lesser as Lucifer and his lieutenants can't be bothered with low hanging fruit. Read the Bible but pray to the Holy Spirit to enter and bring Blessings and enlightenment.
Im praying you read this. Theres a young preacher out there thats going to gay pride gatherings & its so disturbing. He is not ready. They talk sinful circles around him & he caves. He has no scripture to show them the errs in their beliefs. To my horror, he agrees with them. He means well. They say blasphemous things & he says, yeah. They end up preaching evil to him & he has nothing to come back with. He needs guidance. Please! Its so hard to watch. Its awful. He doesnt come off like he believes what he,s saying. After when he comments on how well it went. No it did not. It went well for the devil. Your a great man in God. He needs your help. Thank you.
It's not Jesus Christ but it's Yahusha Hamasheuac and the father's name is YAHUWA. Ninty nine and a half won't do. You are a wonderful teacher but you need to continue to study the truth. God 🙏 bless you.
I'll be very honest pastor this is my favorite book it's this one second would be James Hebrews Gospel etc I was in prison I got a hold of a study God I was happy I still have today from what I learned from the book was to make it short handle your business have discipline n every day will be different and everything will happen under the sun but it's love love book idk I guess how I was in prison I carried shame but I mean I was going tdcj ain't no joke

Made our own kites, lanterns, spinning tops, pea shooters, and who could catch the first evening dew (using - metal, glass or stoneware - saucer or plate), raced to outrun the rain; never bored.
I love Ecclesiastes!! 9: 3 - This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead. 4For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion. 5For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. 6Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun. 7Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works. 8Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no ointment. 9 Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun.
but is the acquisition of Equal value to you or me to Sacrifice i say no i look at the world we live in today and the Bloodshed and Death and sufferings far exceed the reasonable justification i believe the four horsemen Ride as we speak
What do you think about the CERN in Switzerland as far as knowledge goes .. and the statue that they have out in front of the as well as the mock ceremony they had
Dr Voddie is a blessing to the body of Christ. May God bless you more man of God .
Ecclesiastes has always been one of my favorite books
My wife and I have the habit of reading through the Bible over and over again and then listening to expository preaching on the passages we read. So, we came to Ecclesiastes this morning and in searching for messages came upon yours. We were blessed by the truth brought forth in your sermon
The word of God is so true coming out his servant mouth God bless you 🙏
Ecclesiastes is my favorite book, for sure. It is a brilliant building of a Tower of Babel, of sorts, by Solomon. Just how close can we get to what God provides us in purpose and direction purely based on human reasoning? That tower of worldly philosophy is shown to be far too short to bring man to the purpose and fulfillment that God can provide him.
We got bored also back then, but were either told, "then go clean the house" or "I don't care, just go outside"
Ecclesiastes is my favorite book. 1:9 is my favorite verse “…there is nothing new under the sun.” Such a comfort to know everything we face today is nothing new. Those who fear the Lord and are wise to look to the past and are comforted.
Yes sir! God bless you brother!!
I love Ecclesiastes is one of my favourite books too :)
One of my favorite books as well. God bless you. 🙏🏻
I get it’s you guys favorite book, but do you understand what he saying. This book IS NOT LAW. Its just wisdom, something King Solomon wrote through the Holy Spirit from his experiences.
Mine too
Sir, Ecclesiastes is my FAVOURITE BOOK. Rarely do preachers preach this. Thank God, we now have Voddie on to this text.
Same here man! No other book quite like it!
Doug Wilson did a great sermon on this book as well. :)
May Yahweh bless this man for his obedience and love for His ppl, his teachings have brought me so much closer to my Father, thank you Voddie for your life devoted to Gods ppl
Same here!
Same here brother!
My favorite pastor, He's always preaching the undiluted words of God.
Wish he was bishop/vicar of uk. Get welby etc out
this is the whole duty of man. Fear God and keep his commandments
I love ecclesiasties and voddie bauchaum
The best truth is the truth of the gospel and bless this man for not compromising on it.
Blessed are all the faithful servants of Jesus who preach the truth via the Spirit of Truth.
Jesus said there WILL be trials and tribulations, so Dr. Baucham is spot on. Ecclesiastes was written by King Solomon via the Holy Spirit just like every Book from Genesis to Revelation. Solomon wrote this Book and Proverbs while living under the Law, but the law/commands/ decrees of God were written by Moses. The Law that Jesus fulfilled for us because we are too sinful, rebellious and weak. Give God all the glory!
Well said
Excellent.
Glory be to God
Q😅 we 1
Amen 🙏
Are you seeking wisdom to get stuff? Or to Know God? Whew 🤯. That’s the good stuff ❤🔥❤
🙏💖🕊️
Thank you, Dr Baucham for always preaching TRUTH!!!!
I finally decided to listen to this Pastor. I'm glad that I have. He explained that Solomon sought out knowledge and wisdom. Studied everything he could even when he asked The LORD GOD for wisdom. THE LORD provided it by making it available. Wow. Im at 50, and now I will seek earnestly.
Amazing word. Ecclesiastes is top 5 favorites books for me.. it’s really amazing and it shows you that all is worthless unless you have God. All will perish, all is given away after you die.. but if you have Christ then you’ll be in glory forever after this world.
The Bible Project breaks down Ecclesiastes in such a beautiful way -
Ive been reading Ecclesiastes in the morning with my daughter and then last night during dinner I turned on RUclips to find a video. This was my top recommendation when we opened the app on our tv and I’m so glad we watched this! I’m rewatching it again today.
God bless you Pastor!
You are God sent…this is helping me to understand the why I thank you and pray that you continue to do God’s work! To God be the glory🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Loved this sermon. Praise The Lord for preachers like Bro. Voddie. The truth is still being preached!!
Christ the King. ✝️🙏💞✌

God bless and keep Dr Baucham humble and teaching His word in this evil times where so many so called men of God don’t
Brilliant. Your message spoke to me. God always sends a man. My prayers for you and your family that you will have the strength to resist the devil and fulfill the purpose God has for your life. To God be the glory.🙏
38:32 the fullness of wisdom is found only in Christ. Only in Christ
One of the greatest preachers ever i think
I agree. I speak about him to everyone .
@@donnamyers2025he preaches the word of God. He preaches the true.
God is very very good isn’t he? 🙏🏽👏🏽💖
Him and Billy Graham!
Even as an RC I got to admit that I love listening to Vodddie
Prosperity teachers love to promise things but the Lord is sovereign. Honor your parents and you still might die young.
Love this book of the Bible
My life was forever changed
Thank you, very clear explanation for us that want to follow every principle and law in hopes of a better life or future. I come to the place where I depend on him for every breath and anything more than that is a blessing and beyond.
This is super powerful 😢. Thank you so much Dr. Baucham, I pray that the Lord Jesus will help us learn more and rest in Him.
I asked God for patience
He told me 'you are going to have to wait'
real man of God who preach what all men of God supposed to preach but not preached! May LORD bless this amazing man abundantly!
I just had to pause this video to say a prayer of thanks for this sermon and for God’s word.
The whole matter is to surrender completely to God. Trust God completely because He alone is sovereign. Guard your heart against fear, bitterness, wickedness, covetousness, deceit, and disbelief.

POINTS I MADE THROUGHOUT:
“Stop looking for hidden sins every time something goes wrong” (there may be one but stop looking for curses) - learn to think biblically!
God intends for us to seek wisdom and knowledge.
Solomon was wise and knowledgeable because he was RELENTLESS (devoted his heart) to studying everything!
Wisdom and knowledge have their limits, he has tried but failed. No one can be fulfilled by wisdom and knowledge alone.
“We cannot solve every problem” (vs.13)
“You will never be wise enough or have enough knowledge to defeat death” (Matthew 8)
Knowledge is insufficient without the knowledge of God
There is wisdom that is wicked…
“All the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden IN Christ”
37:49 powerful questions and deep stuff‼️
“Are you pursuing wisdom so that you could get stuff or so that you could know God?”
1 Kings 3:1-15
Lord appeared to Solomon during the night in a dream, and God said, “Ask for whatever you want me to give you.”
6 Solomon answered, “You have shown great kindness to your servant, my father David, because he was faithful to you and righteous and upright in heart. You have continued this great kindness to him and have given him a son to sit on his throne this very day.
7 “Now, Lord my God, you have made your servant king in place of my father David. But I am only a little child and do not know how to carry out my duties. 8 Your servant is here among the people you have chosen, a great people, too numerous to count or number. 9 So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong.

10 The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for this. 11 So God said to him, “Since you have asked for this and not for long life or wealth for yourself, nor have asked for the death of your enemies but for discernment in administering justice, 12 I will do what you have asked. I will give you a wise and discerning heart, so that there will never have been anyone like you, nor will there ever be. 13 Moreover, I will give you what you have not asked for-both wealth and honor-so that in your lifetime you will have no equal among kings. 14 And if you walk in obedience to me and keep my decrees and commands as David your father did, I will give you a long life.” 15 Then Solomon awoke-and he realized it had been a dream.
Voddie baucham is not reading the bible correctly or he add something because if you look it up for yourselfs y'all will see he says all under standing and knowledge of God's mystery which is Christ.

I saw clearly that Solomon pursued pleasure and gained wisdom in that pursuit. I saw the beauty in gaining experience and pursuing life in full, with the understanding that we will be brought into judgment for our errors in the pursuit (Ecclesiastes 11:9)
Amen🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
This helped me and edified me
And we putting it out with water.
I forget where I heard or read this, but I heard that the love of Christ is the end of Wisdom. Much like the fear of him is the beginning of wisdom. Does anyone know where this came from?
Proverbs 9:10 says, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” Basically, this verse teaches that the fear of God is foundational to true wisdom; all other types of learning are worthless unless built upon a knowledge of the Lord Himself. Many other passages talk about the fear of the Lord (e.g., Psalm 111:10; Proverbs 1:7; 14:27; 15:33). Before we can understand how the fear of the Lord leads to wisdom, we need to define what the Bible means by “fear” in this context.
@@eliara-thevoice8430 I was talking about the end of wisdom, I don't know where I heard that saying from. I don't think it's a verse in the Bible.
I just wish I could find a church that teaches the word of God! I'm still looking!

Preacher Teacher!
It’s mine and my 19 year old son’s favorite book of the Bible!!
Ecclesiastes book is written vanity,vanity without God under heaven...i love this book by Solomon...the regret n lesson teaches us to not to live vanity life 😊Dr.baucham preaching is doctrinal n truth'.
WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE WITHOUT DISCERNMENT IS NONSENSE. Solomon is the best example of that.
He is considered the wisest man on earth after Jesus, and he sinned badly against God having 1,000 women who turned his heart after other gods.
He had 700 wives, who were princesses, and 300 concubines. And his wives turned away his heart. For when Solomon was old his wives turned away his heart after other gods, and his heart was not wholly true to the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father. (1 King 11:3-4 ESV)
I LOVE the books of ecclesiastes and proverbs!!!!!

Vodie, I like you, I like your preaching, but using the "moon landing" to make a point is foolish, using the "covid 19" bug to make a point is foolish..
Use examples that are real, not fake
Guides us to make choices that are right for the relationship we want with Jesus while surviving in a world full of sin without getting sucked into the world of the flesh without falling. And MOST of all that GOD is in charge NOT US!!!
Sir, i love u i just found u and You are The best Real Preacher...Everr. i sooooo want to discuss with u somehow about Death i mean Really because i think everyone isgetting it wrong!! Here's a hint if you are Dead you are not Alive so.. think of that in conjunction with Hell 2nd Death.
Just reading the comments has me sure I don't want to listen to the sermon. So many lost souls. Why are there so many denominations...... then they have to change due to the limited number of "Christians". UGH everyone let's their ego into this starting with Martin Luther and the Reformation...... owing to the sinful nature of man that permeated the early Church. Made it so easy for the LESSER demons to work to this day............ I say lesser as Lucifer and his lieutenants can't be bothered with low hanging fruit. Read the Bible but pray to the Holy Spirit to enter and bring Blessings and enlightenment.
Im praying you read this. Theres a young preacher out there thats going to gay pride gatherings & its so disturbing. He is not ready. They talk sinful circles around him & he caves. He has no scripture to show them the errs in their beliefs. To my horror, he agrees with them. He means well. They say blasphemous things & he says, yeah. They end up preaching evil to him & he has nothing to come back with. He needs guidance. Please! Its so hard to watch. Its awful. He doesnt come off like he believes what he,s saying. After when he comments on how well it went. No it did not. It went well for the devil. Your a great man in God. He needs your help. Thank you.
Very good teaching, however, is not , The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge... , Law ?
It's not Jesus Christ but it's Yahusha Hamasheuac and the father's name is YAHUWA. Ninty nine and a half won't do. You are a wonderful teacher but you need to continue to study the truth. God 🙏 bless you.

Made our own kites, lanterns, spinning tops, pea shooters, and who could catch the first evening dew (using - metal, glass or stoneware - saucer or plate), raced to outrun the rain; never bored.
Eccleciastes has been my favorite book since I re read bible first year of college . But hey I am wierd
0:44-0:53 It’s funny he said that; Ecclesiastes is indeed one of my favorite Old Testament books. 🙂
I love Ecclesiastes!!
9: 3 - This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead.
4For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.
5For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
6Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.
7Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works.
8Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no ointment.
9 Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun.
but is the acquisition of Equal value to you or me to Sacrifice i say no i look at the world
we live in today and the Bloodshed and Death and sufferings far exceed the reasonable
justification i believe the four horsemen Ride as we speak
