God's warning seven types of people you should never help according to the Bible have you ever found yourself constantly pouring into people who only drain you have you ever helped someone over and over only to realize they were never truly changing the truth is not everyone is meant to be helped the Bible gives us clear warnings about the types of people we should avoid helping not out of lack of love but out of wisdom and obedience to God there is a fine line between being a blessing and being an enabler and if we are not careful we can find ourselves being manipulated used and drained by people who are not truly seeking change Proverbs 4:7 says wisdom is the principal thing therefore get wisdom and with all thy getting get understanding that means our help must be led by Godly wisdom not just emotions in this video we're going to dive deep into God's warning about the seven types of people you should never help These Warnings are not based on human opinion but on powerful biblical principles that will transform the way you give Serve and Protect Your Peace many Christians struggle with guilt when it comes to saying no to people we've been taught that helping others is always good but what if I told you that helping the wrong people can actually go against God's will there are people in our Lives who are not looking for help they are looking for someone to carry their burdens while they continue in their ways they want your effort not your wisdom Jesus himself set boundaries he walked away from certain people John 2:24 warned against casting Pearls Before Swine Matthew 7:6 and did not allow himself to be manipulated by those who had no desire to change if Jesus set boundaries why do we struggle to do the same and so let's explore the seven types of people you should never help according to the Bible number one the lazy and Idol beloved I want you to hear me today with spiritual ears and a Discerning heart there is a difference between helping those who are struggling and enabling those who refuse to move the Bible is clear laziness is not a weakness it is a choice a habit and ultimately a form of self-sabotage Proverbs 10:4 declares lazy hands make for poverty but diligent hands bring wealth if a man refuses to work if he refuses to apply himself if he consistently avoids responsibility then the poverty he experiences is not an attack of the enemy it is the result of his own neglect the Apostle Paul Paul was so strong on this issue that he wrote to the Thessalonian Church saying if anyone is not willing to work let him not eat 2 Thessalonians 3:10 this wasn't cruelty it was a principle of divine accountability God has designed life in such a way that we reap what we sow and if a person sows nothing he should expect to reap nothing but when we step in and continually rescue the lazy we disrupt the Divine system that was meant to bring correction some people confuse helping with enabling understand this when you help a lazy person financially you do not bless them you them when you cover for them excuse them and bail them out you rob them of the lesson that could provoke them to change Jesus himself gave a parable that Illustrated the cost of laziness in Matthew 2524 to3 he tells of a servant who was given a talent but chose to bury it instead of investing it when the master returned he did not reward the servants fear or excuses he called him Wicked and lazy and took away what little he had this is a Biblical warning those who refuse to move will eventually lose even what they have let me make this plane there is a difference between those who cannot work and those who will not work Proverbs 6:9-11 warns us how long will you lie there you sluggard when will you get up from your sleep a little sleep a little Slumber a little folding of the hands to rest and poverty will come on you like a thief and scarcity like an armed man if someone refuses to take responsibility for their own life they are walking in direct opposition to God's word some of you are drained and exhausted because you keep trying to help people who refuse to help themselves you pour out your resources your time your energy but the more you give the less they do and let me tell you something that is not a Godly burden there is a time to help and a time to step back if you keep feeding a man who refuses to plow his own field you are keeping him from ever learning to trust God sometimes the most loving thing you can do is say I will not carry what God never asked me to carry you may be wondering how do I know if someone is lazy or just in a difficult season here are some signs they always have an excuse for why they can't work but plenty of time for entertainment and distractions they expect others to provide for them but are unwilling to put in the effort themselves they have opportunities but refuse to take them they consistently waste resources whether money time or talents they only seek help when they are in a crisis but never take action to prevent the next one beloved it is not unkind to set boundaries Jesus did not chase after the Rich Young Ruler when he walked away Mark 10:17 to 22 God himself allows people to feel the weight of their choices because sometimes pain is the only thing that will provoke a person to change if you have been enabling the lazy it's time to stop and if you have been the lazy one it's time to repent the good news is that God gives Grace to those who humble themselves Proverbs 13:4 tells us a slugger's appetite is never filled but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied if you rise up shake off complacency and put your hands to work God will bless the work of your hands I challenge you today who are you helping that God has told you to let go of pray for wisdom pray for discernment because the truth is you can never save someone who is committed to staying stuck number two The Ungrateful there is a type of person who will receive your sacrifice your love your effort your time and yet act like it was owed to them ungratefulness is not just a bad habit it is a sign of a corrupted heart and the Bible warns us about it in Luke 17 17 to8 Jesus heals 10 lepers but only one comes back to give thanks Jesus doesn't let this go unnoticed he asks were not all 10 cleansed where are the other nine that's a question we must ask ourselves where are the people who received but never returned where are the people who were helped but never said thank you where are the ones who were lifted but never acknowledged the hand that lifted them understand this gratitude is the mark of a humble and godly heart but ungratefulness is the mark of entitlement and selfishness in second Timothy 32 Paul warns that in the last days people will be lovers of themselves lovers of money ungrateful Unholy did you hear that ungratefulness is a sign of a Godless generation when people refuse to acknowledge blessings they cut themselves off from the flow of favor helping an ungrateful person is like pouring water into a bottomless pit no matter how much you pour it will never be enough no matter how much you sacrifice they will always want more and let me tell you something the more you help them the less they appreciate it the more you give the more they demand the Bible warns us in Proverbs 17:13 evil will never leave the house of one who repays good with evil some people don't just fail to to say thank you they turn around and mistreat the very person who helped them have you ever been there have you ever gone out of your way for someone only to have them turn on you betray you or walk away like you never did anything for them some of you are drained and exhausted because you are constantly trying to please ungrateful people but hear me God did not call you to be anyone's doormat he did not call you to keep pouring into people who refus to appreciate the gift stop giving your best to people who don't value it stop sacrificing for people who don't acknowledge it stop letting people drain you dry without a word of thanks did you know that gratitude is a key to increased when Jesus multiplied the fish and the loaves in John 6:11 the Bible says he gave thanks before he distributed them in first Thessalonians 5:18 we are commanded to give thanks in all circumstances because gratitude is a magnet for more blessings when you thank God he releases more when you are grateful for what you have he increases it but when you are ungrateful you block your own breakthrough and if gratitude opens doors then ingratitude shuts them some people are not stuck because of the devil they are stuck because of their own ungratefulness some people are not experiencing overflow because they never took the time to acknowledge the bless blessings they already received if you want to live in God's favor develop a spirit of gratitude and if you want to walk in wisdom stop helping The Ungrateful let them learn to appreciate what they have before they lose it because let me tell you something whatever you refuse to appreciate you will eventually lose number three the proud and arrogant the Bible doesn't just warn against Pride it condemns it it is dangerous destructive and deceptive Proverbs 16:18 makes it plain Pride goes before destruction and a hay spirit before a fall some people are so full of themselves that there is no room for God they are so consumed with their own wisdom their own achievements their own ways of doing things that they have no space for correction no space for counsel and do you know what happens to a person like that they fall every single time and the word warns us God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble James 4:6 did you hear that God himself will resist you if you are operating in arrogance you're not just fighting against circumstances you're not just fighting against people you are standing in opposition to God and let me tell you something you cannot win in that battle now I know what you're thinking but sir aren't we supposed to help people yes we help the hurting we lift the Fallen we strengthen the weak but we do not waste our time trying to help people who do not believe they need help because let me tell you something pride is a closed door when you try to correct a proud person they reject your wisdom when you try to guide them they ignore your counsel when you try to warn them they dismiss your advice and the Bible says in Proverbs 26:12 do you see a person wise in their own eyes there is more hope for a fool than for them pride is self- sabotage some people are not suffering because of demonic attacks some people are not suffering because of external circumstances some people suffer because they refuse to listen they refuse to take Corrections they refuse to Humble themselves and let me tell you something if if you keep trying to help a proud person you will end up frustrated and exhausted because you cannot rescue someone who does not believe they need saving now let me clarify something because some people confuse confidence with arrogance confidence comes from trusting in God but arrogance comes from trusting in self confidence is humble it acknowledges that God is the source arrogance is self-centered it believes that success is a result of personal effort alone The Confident person says I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me Philippians 4:13 but the Arrogant person says I did this I built this I achieved this and when you start taking the credit that belongs to God you set yourself up for a fall there is no clearer picture of Pride leading to destruction than the story of King nebuchad Nezar in Daniel 4 this was a man who had power wealth and influence yet he made one critical mistake he took credit for what God had done one day he looked over his kingdom and said is not this the great Babylon I have built as the Royal residence by my mighty power and for the glory of my Majesty Daniel 4:30 and the moment those words left his mouth judgment fell upon him God stripped him of his power drove him from his Palace and made him live like an animal in the wilderness for seven years until he humbled himself and acknowledged that God Alone Reigns then there's Pharaoh in Exodus Moses warned him 10 times to Humble himself to listen to let the Israelites go but Pharaoh hardened his heart he refused to listen he refused to submit he refused to acknowledge God's Authority and what happened his kingdom was devastated by plagues his army was drowned in the Red Sea and his legacy was destroyed Pride will make you ignore warnings Pride will make you reject wise counsel Pride will make you fight battles you were never meant to fight some of you are frustrated right now because you keep trying to help people who refuse to receive help you keep pouring out wisdom but they reject it you keep trying to lead them but they resist you keep warning them but they refuse to listen and let me tell you something you cannot force wisdom unto a fool Jesus himself said in Matthew 7:6 do not give dogs what is sacred do not throw your pearls to pigs if you do they may trample them under their feet and turn and tear you to pieces some people are so arrogant they will take the wisdom you give them and trample on it you cannot help someone who refuses to a knowledge they need help you cannot correct someone who believes they are always right and if you continue trying to force wisdom on a person who rejects it all you will do is waste your time drain your energy and invite unnecessary stress into your life again now I am not saying you should be harsh I am not saying you should be rude but I am saying You must use discernment if you see pride in someone confront it with love but if they refuse to listen step back and let God deal with them some lessons can only be learned through hardship some people will never change until they have been humbled Nebuchadnezzar didn't change until he lost everything Pharaoh didn't break until his whole Army was destroyed sometimes the most loving thing you can do is let someone experience the consequences of their own arrogance because hear me God knows how to Humble the proud Number Four The Wicked and sinful now I know we live in a world where people say God loves everyone and yes that is true but do not confuse God's love with God's approval God does not bless wickedness God does not support sin God does not reward rebellion and as Believers we are called to walk in wisdom Psalm one1 makes it clear blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked did you hear that if you want to be blessed you must separate yourself from Wicked people now let me be clear we are all sinners in need of Grace we all fall short but there is a difference between a sinner who repents and a wicked person who refuses to change there is a difference between someone who struggles with sin and someone who Embraces sin defends sin and encourages others to sin the Bible warns us in Proverbs BS 6:16 to19 that there are six things the Lord hates seven that are detestable to him and do you know what's on that list a lying tongue hands that shed innocent blood a heart that devises wicked schemes feet that run quickly to do evil there are people in this world who do not want God they mock his word they reject his wisdom they promote what is evil and if you are trying to help a person who is committed to wickedness you are wasting your time if a person is committed to sin your help will not change them your kindness will not break them your sacrifices will not soften them and here's the real danger when you help the wicked you share in their guilt Romans 1:32 warns us although they know God's righteous decree they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them did you catch that not only do they sin but they approve of others who sin some people do not just live in darkness they invite others to join them and if you support them enable them or assist them in their Rebellion you are partnering with something that God has already condemned Jezebel was wicked and her downfall was tragic Second Kings 9:30 to 37 Cain murdered his brother Abel and was cursed Genesis 4:10 to12 Judas betrayed Jesus and ended in destruction Matthew 275 do you know what they all have in common they were warned but they refused to repent now some of you have Wicked people in your life family members co-workers friends and you're wondering how do I love them without enabling them here's the answer set boundaries speak the truth do not compromise love them enough to tell them the truth but do not support their Rebellion you can pray for them without participating in their sin you can love them without endorsing their actions you can intercede for them without letting them pull you into their mess you are not God it is not your job to save them it is your job to stand for righteousness some people will never change until they experience the consequences of their SIN number five the foolish beloved hear me with spiritual ears today foolishness is not a lack of intelligence it is a refusal to embrace wisdom there are people in this world who are not suffering because of a lack of opportunity they are not struggling because no one has tried to help them no they are struggling because they refuse to listen the Bible is filled with warnings about fools Proverbs 13:20 gives us a strong word of caution walk with the wise and become wise for a companion of fools suffers harm if you keep company with foolish people you will suffer harm not because you are foolish but because you are connected to them some of you keep trying to help people that God has already warned you about what is a fool a fool is someone who hears wisdom but rejects it a fool is someone who repeats the same mistakes over and over again proverbs 2611 gives a graphic description as a dog returns to its vomit so fools repeat their Folly now that's a strong image a dog will eat something harmful vomit it out and then turn around and eat it again and that is exactly what a fool does they break free from bad decisions but they run right back to them they escape toxic situations but they go right back they receive wisdom but they ignore it let me tell you something you cannot save a fool some of you are frustrated because you keep pouring your wisdom your love your resources and your time into people who are not ready to change and no matter how much you advise them correct them or warn them they keep running back to the same bad choices a fool Will drain you a fool Will exhaust you a fool will pull you into their dysfunction and here's what's worse a fool will make you look like the crazy one because you're the one running after them trying to help and they're the ones rejecting it every time have you ever tried to reason with a fool it's like arguing with a wall Proverbs 23:9 warns us do not speak to fools for they will scorn your prudent words some of you keep trying to make sense of people who do not want wisdom and let me tell you something a fool does not lack knowledge a fool lacks humility it's not that they don't know what's right it's that they refuse to accept correction here's the hard truth when you keep helping a fool you become part of the cycle you become the person they turn to when they need rescue but they will never change fools are not teachable they want help but they do not want correction they want relief but they do not want transformation and if you keep trying to save them they will drain your energy waste your resources and then blame you when things go wrong this is why the Bible says in Proverbs 14:7 stay away from a fool for you will not find knowledge on their lips some of you need to take a step back and let life teach them what they refuse to learn from you you cannot save a fool Only God Can humble them number six the dishonest and manipulative my friends there are some people you should never help because there intentions are not pure these are people who do not come to you because they need help they come because they see you as an opportunity they come because they know you have a soft heart they come because they know you will give without questioning and let me tell you something the Bible is very clear about dishonest and manipulative people Proverbs 12:22 says the Lord detests lying lips but he Delights in people who are trustworthy God detests dishonesty why because deception is not just a lie it is a tool of the enemy 2 Corinthians 11:14 warns us that Satan himself masquerades as an angel of Light in other words deception is not always obvious the most dangerous Liars are the ones who know how to sound sincere the most dangerous manipulators are the ones who know how to act like victims a manipulative person will play with your emotions to get what they want they will make you feel guilty they will twist your kindness they will use flattery and they will pretend to be something they are not but let me warn you do not be deceived Proverbs 26:2 24-26 says enemies disguise themselves with their lips but in their hearts they Harbor deceit though their speech is charming do not believe them there are people who who will tell you everything you want to hear just to get what they want and some of you have fallen into this trap you keep helping people who have proven themselves to be dishonest you keep giving to people who have never been truthful and every time they get caught they come with another excuse Another Story Another manipulation let me tell you something if someone has manipulated you to get your help they do not deserve it if they have Twisted the truth Gil tripped you or pressured you into giving you need to step back and let them go now let me say it again I'm not saying we shouldn't help people I'm saying we must use discernment there is a difference between someone who is truly in need and someone who is playing a game here are some signs that someone is dishonest or manipulative they always have a story but the details never add up they only come around when they need something they guilt trip you if you hesitate to help they have a pattern of using people they make promises they never keep they never take responsibility for their actions beloved God did not call you to be deceived he called you to walk in wisdom number seven the unrepentant Beloved there is a difference between someone who struggles with sin and someone who is unrepentant there is a difference between someone who falls and gets back up and someone who lays in their sin and refuses to move the Bible is very clear about those who refuse to repent Hebrews 10:26 says if we deliberately keep on sinning after receiving the knowledge of the truth no sacrifice for sins is left this is a sobering word it is one thing to fall into sin but it is another thing entirely to deliberately continue in it after hearing the truth unrepentance is rebellion unrepentance is a heart posture that says I know what God says but I don't care and let me tell you something when you try to help someone who is unrepentant you are not helping them you are only enabling their Rebellion some of you have been carrying people that God has been trying to break you have been rescuing people that God has been trying to correct but hear me if you keep interfering with God's process you will end up fighting against him if someone refuses to change they will continue to misuse your help you can pray for them you can counsel them you can pour out your wisdom your love your resources but if they are not ready to turn away from sin everything you do will be wasted there are people who do not want to be delivered delivered they want to be comforted in their sin they don't want to be corrected they want to be affirmed they don't want transformation they want sympathy but hear me you cannot set someone free who loves their chains the Bible warns us in Proverbs 29:1 whoever remains stiff necked after many rebukes will suddenly be destroyed without remedy there comes a point when correction will no longer work some people people are not suffering because of the devil they are suffering because of their own hard heart God is full of Mercy but he is also a God of Justice he is slow to anger but he is not slow to judge those who refuse to turn from their ways Romans 2:5 warns because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God's Wrath that means when a person refuses to repent they are piling up judgment for themselves and let me tell you something God knows how to Humble the unrepentant Beloved hear me God will always warn before he judges he will always send correction before he brings destruction but if a person continues to harden their heart ignore his voice and reject his truth they will eventually experience the full weight of their choices because God will never override free will if someone does not want to change God will let them experience the consequences of their choices and sometimes you have to step back and let them hit rock bottom Luke 151 11-32 gives us a powerful example of this in the parable of the Prodigal Son the father did not chase after the son when he left he did not rescue him when he wasted his inheritance he let him go and it was only when the son was starving in the pig pen that he came to his senses some people will never change until they hit rock bottom some people will never repent until they are broken some people will never listen until they have lost everything and if you keep trying to rescue them before they repent you are interfering with the lesson that God is trying to teach them what should you do instead pray for them ask God to soften their heart and lead them to repentance speak truth but don't force it give them the word but do not argue or chase after them set boundaries do not let their Rebellion drain you emotionally financially or spiritually let God deal with them some people need to experience hardship before they turn back to God some of you have been helping the wrong people you have been pouring into people who refuse to change you have been drained by people who are committed committed to rebellion and today God is telling you it is time to step back it is time to let go it is time to stop fighting for people who refuse to fight for themselves and let me say this if you have been the unrepentant one it is not too late God's Mercy is still available his arms are still open but do not wait until it is too late do not let Pride keep you from repentance because the the longer you stay in sin the harder your heart will become beloved God calls us to be generous but he also calls us to be wise and if you have been giving to the lazy the proud The Ungrateful the Wicked the foolish the dishonest and the unrepentant it is time to rethink who you are pouring into because let me tell you something there are people out there who need your help there are people who will appreciate your kindness there are people who will use what you give them wisely there are people who will listen learn and grow but if you keep giving all your energy to people who refuse to change you will have nothing left for the ones who truly need it a challenge for you today take a moment and ask God for discernment ask him Lord am I helping the right people am I pouring into good ground or am I wasting my efforts because when you give to the right people you will see growth when you sew into the right people you will see fruit when you help those who are truly ready to change you will see transformation be wise be Discerning and trust God to handle the ones who refuse to listen this is wisdom for life this is the word of God let's grow together and before you go remember
