July 21, 2013 #23:Being A Doer of God’s Word
James 1:21
21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
Matthew 7:21
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

July 14, 2013 #22: How To Get To Heaven
2 Corinthians 3
1 Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you?
2 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:
3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
4 And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:
5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;
6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
7 But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:
8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
9 For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.

July 07, 2013#21:The Leading of The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit still leads today.
We should be led by the Holy Spirit not driven by it.

Romans 8:14-17
14For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.15For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.16The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

Psalm 23

1The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Matthew 5:11-12

11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

Everyone gets into valleys.
You’re either in a valley, coming out of one, or on the mountain.

Valleys aren't one way streets.

God will always make a way.

Where do you do most of you living?
Do you live mostly in the valley or on the mountain?

The valley is where we do most of our struggling.

There are many different valleys.

Rebelling against God is rebelling against our best interest.

Valleys are unexpected.
We shouldn't stay in the valley.

Don't let discouragement get you down.

God may have us in a valley to purify us.

Psalm 23

1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
You are either on your way into the valley, coming out of it, or on the mountaintop.

Where do you spend most of your time? In the mountains or in the valleys?

Valley experiences teach us about life.
God’s grace, leading and mercy will never fail us. His way might not be the same as the way we planned.

God nows what we can take and what we can't take.

Someone who is good to call while you are in a valley is someone who is walking with the Lord.

God never intends for us to stay in the valley.

People say that you can meet God on the mountain, but in reality, you can meet God anywhere.
David relates this to a flock of sheep because he was a Shepard.

Just like David placed himself between the beast and the sheep, Jesus places himself between the devil and us.
Our God is not shallow.

The mountain is where we meet God, and the valley is where we do our struggling.
The valley is very different than the mountaintop.

The valley is where life becomes challenging, battles are fought, feelings become hurt, and attitudes are involved.

In the valley, we struggle with our fears, hopes, and painful circumstances.

The valley is inevitable.

God will meet you in the valley.

June 09, 2013#18:Standards of Successful Communication
Proverbs 23:26

26 My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.

Proverbs 3:3

3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:

Ephesians 4:15

15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

2 Timothy 1:7

7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Five Standards of Successful Communication

1. Caring
If you do not care, it shows in everything you do.

Don’t tell someone how much you know until you have showed me how much you care.

Caring means when someone is talking, you look them in their eyes, and give them your undivided attention.

2. Praise
Negativity is the devil's language and it will destroy your marriage, business, schoolwork, any aspect of your life.

Negativity will ruin the effectiveness of your communication.

We should never let anyone close to our heart if they are negative about you.

You have to praise your mate, employee, teacher, students, etc.

We need to make sure that the person we marry is the person God wants us to marry.

If you keep your focus on Christ you will not be disappointed in your marriage.

3. Truth
Tell the truth but don’t be brutal about it.

If something is irritating you then you must let it out and talk about it or it will turn into other behavior.

4. Faith
For ladies, it means that once you have spoken to your husbands about your feelings, then you need to have faith to let God be the enforcer.

Allow God the time to speak to your heart so you have the right words to say when you speak to others.

5. Surrender
Our mouths belong to God.

The Holy Spirit will never lead a married couple into two different directions.
Communication is important for any relationship.

June 02, 2013#16:Temptation From Sin
James 1:12

12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

1 Corinthians 10: 13

13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

Ephesians 4:22-

22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
Temptations fall into two categories.
The desire to do wrong things.
Involves wanting to get drunk, commit adultery, steal, lie, etc.

Not to do the right thing.
Involves staying home from church, not tithing, not sharing your faith in Jesus Christ with others, etc.
Every time you sin you are hurt.
Lies that open the door for temptations traps.
Trap number 1: It couldn’t happen to me!
I’m better than that. That temptation won’t happen to me. We are the most vulnerable when we believe we are the strongest.

Trap number 2: I am the only one with this problem.
We think that no one has felt such intense pressure to give into a particular temptation then we are right now.

Trap number 3: God has abandoned me.
God will never leave us, he is faithful.

We don’t always feel the closeness of God when we are going through storms, and some will take that to mean that God is not with them anymore.

God will never leave us nor forsake us.

Sometimes we are not aware of God’s presence but that doesn’t mean that God is not with us.

As we get deeper into temptation we start to move away from God and because of that we may not sense the presence of him clearly.

God is faithful and wants the best for us.

Trap number 4: I don’t have a choice.
One of Satan’s most used lies is that the temptation overwhelms us and we don’t have a choice in the matter.

You are putting the responsibility on somebody else when you blame the devil.

There is never a situation where we are forced into sin, it is always a choice.
Sin will ruin and destroy us.
How do we stay out and away from temptation?
Christians should quote the Bible when tempted. Jesus quoted scripture when he was tempted.

Christians should hide God’s word in their hearts.
We need to fight sin.
We should pray for deliverance from our sins. God will clear us from all of our sins.
Confession means more than to say sorry, it means to call sin what God calls sin.

May 19, 2013#17:Faith In The Storms of Life
Mark 4:35-41

35 And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.

36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.

37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.

38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?

39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?

41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

Mark 11:22

22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
Storms often come at inconvenient times

Storms sometimes happen in the middle of God’s will

Despite the fact that they were the close to Jesus the storms still came.
Six questions about how we can get through the storms of life that we must ask ourselves.
1. What did Jesus want them to do?
Jesus wanted them to take their problem to their father

There were three options that the disciples had
Wake Jesus up in their fear and ask for help. Which is what they did.

Keep bailing. They could have tried to handle the situation themselves.

Pray to their Father for help. Which is the first place we should go to when we have a problem of any magnitude.

Jesus’s primary rebuke was that they had no faith.
2. How will Jesus respond to our storms?
He rebuked what caused the problem and calmed the troubling circumstances.

It is important for us to understand that God can solve our problems and deal with the difficult circumstances that result.
3. How do we respond to our storm?
When we think of fear in this passage we think of the disciple’s reaction to the storm.

Often times the fear of the storm is greater than the storm itself.

There is another fear that the disciples had which was a fear of the Lord.

When we face a storm do we focus on our fear of the storm or our fear of the Lord?

May 10, 2013#15:Choices
Genesis 2:15-25, 3:1-24
Life is all about choices.
God gave us the power of choice and the responsibility of living with the choices we make.
God also gave us boundaries to serve as guidelines because he loves us.
God did not want us to be programmed robots. Instead, he gives us freedom to choose, to love, and to serve Him.
There are regular choices and there are life-changing choices.
There are only choices upon the shelf. To live for God or to live for self.
We need to keep in mind the boundaries that God has put around us.
Religion that is only do's and dont's becomes frustration and powerless.
There is an attraction to "don'ts" in life.

Romans 5:5-12

5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Because of the sin of Adam and Eve, sin and death came into the world.
God, never intending for there to be death on Earth, needed to set boundaries.
Adam and Eve's sin was passed down through their bloodline to all people. All people have sinned as a result.
Only Jesus Christ did not have sin as God chose Mary, a virgin who knew no man, to give north to him. Because of his virgin birth, Jesus did not inherit the sin from Adam and Eve.

Romans 5:13-14 & 20-21
