Help. It’s not just what God does, it’s who God is. And we are just like Him, made in His image. He cannot help but help. Wherever He is, help is there. The Bible says He is an “ever-present help!”
But our ability to help people is not just determined by our willingness, it is equally affected by other people’s openness! God wants to help us all, but not all want His help.
This Sunday, Ryan Kibbe explores and identifies BOTH the “People You Can (Not) Help” to help you better steward your time, talents and resource!

Luke 15:16-17 TPT
“The son was so famished, he was willing even to eat the slop given to the pigs, because no one would feed him a thing. “Humiliated, the son finally realized what he was doing, and he thought, ‘There are many workers at my father’s house who have all the food they want with plenty to spare. They lack nothing. Why am I here dying of hunger, feeding these pigs and eating their slop?”
You CANNOT help people who CANNOT see they need help and do not WANT help.
2 Peter 2:22 TPT
“They become illustrations of the true proverb: A dog will return to his own vomit and a washed pig to its rolling in the mud.”

You CAN help people willing to OWN it and PERSEVERE through their problem!
Proverbs 24:16 TPT
“For the lovers of God may suffer adversity and stumble seven times, but they will continue to rise over and over again. But the unrighteous are brought down by just one calamity and will never be able to rise again.”

You CAN help a learner!
Proverbs 28:26 TPT
