One of the weapons of mass destruction, like I articulated to us several times, is a mic.

Amplified heresy, amplified foolishness.

And unfortunately, many times the church will take this foolishness

and hold on to it like it's Bible.

So I have to teach on today because please hear my heart,

right now is not a time to be spiritually lazy.

You can't afford it.

Not the way 2025 is looking already, and we just in January. You cannot afford to be spiritually lazy. And this scripture is just going to corroborate my claim because I'm just trying to get us to understand. Spiritual decay happens one compromise at a time. Already come out swinging. Happens one compromise at a time.

Proverbs 713, verse 4, notice what the text says. It says the soul of the sluggard. It's a lazy person,

slothful person. The soul of the sluggard craze and gets nothing.

So they desire it.

They have an appetite for it.

They long for it.

But because they're lazy, they don't get it.

Now watch the text.

While the soul of the diligence, somebody say

diligent is richly supplied. This word diligent we don't really talk about as much and I want to break

it down so that we can fully understand it. Diligent in the Hebrew is Hatamada Hatamada and it means to toil persist or establish with commitment

Now with that biblical knowledge read the verse again the soul of the slugger craves and gets nothing while the soul of the Hatamada while the soul of the slugger craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the Hatamada,

while the soul of those who toil, the soul of those who persist, the soul of those who are

established with commitment, oh, they are richly supplied. If I was a note take, I'll write this down.

Diligence is the passport for results.
