I'm still reading one Proverb a day until the end of March. Proverbs is one of those books that just sits with you. To be teachers (naturally), we're assumed to be a certain level of smart, if you will. Walking in the gift of teaching, you begin to see your "smart" amplified in ways that you didn't even know were possible. When you're feeling the pull or answering the call of the 5-Fold teacher, you see smart with amplification, and on top of that God begins to show you systems and frameworks and ways to deliver His lessons to the people and the wherewithall (for lack of a better word) to be able share that with others in a way that they can replicate it. How does all of that relate to Proverbs 18? As with all chapters in Proverbs, the 18th chapter offers life lessons. In that one chapter, I saw explanations for lived experience, correlations to current events (personal, in the church, and in the nation), and ways to lead the people so that we don't keep repeating the mistakes, errors, and fallacies that lead to these lessons. That doesn't mean that come May 18th, I won't read Proverbs 18 again and get new guidance, revelation, and wisdom, because nothing could be further from the truth. The wisdom of Proverbs is a never-ending revelation when you come to it with an open heart. "He that has an ear, let him hear what thus saith the Lord." We can quote the scripture, in all kinds of variations, but the book of Proverbs (or any for that matter) requires us to actively do it. As the teachers arise, this is a posture we have to commit to wholeheartedly. Not halfway, not when we feel like it, or when it fits the schedule. It has to be a dedicated lifestyle. You and everything about you becomes a walking lesson plan, either for your life or somebody else's, probably both. None of that means perfection or that you won't get things wrong. God uses the wrong to teach the right. (From a section of "my wrong" came 3 books that have helped many move from that same place).

Hello Everyone!! My sincerest apologies. I will not be able to teach class live this evening. In all of the Monday shifting, I forgot that I had another event planned for today before I rescheduled class. 🤦‍♀️ I didn't want to leave you without a lesson so I prerecorded this evening's class and it is attached here. If you have questions, please be sure to comment and I'll be checking to answer!! https://us02web.zoom.us/rec/share/s6E6CI1kqObWLL353RbFndl4cblPTUy8OIqmw4r8sqj9HuVY_2OAwmsnLnadCAY.9V8pZvRgcqSEont_?startTime=1763505019000 Passcode: 1!rHn7v!
