Richard Adair's - Bible Study Lessons

Just like someone putting money in your bank account or buying your dinner or even paying your bills for you the Book of Psalms is just waiting on you to being to use them. Which one do i read? Well, if you have to ask then you've not been curious to look at any of them yourself, but have probably just taken the viewpoint most people do that they are NOT for today but just some poetic spiritual stuff that religious people READ! Oh my dear friend, No! Take time to read this yourself. You will wonder where you have been so long and didn't know these scriptures! We continue to think Psalms means music and lyrics but these are SIMPLY PRAYERS THAT WORK!!!! One of the first things you will notice is they are what I like to call "SELFISH"! I say that to get your attention! We had better get SELFISH when it comes to our personal safety and our daily lifes problems! We are so conditioned in America that Jesus is NOT a Santa Clause or a Candy Store or a Jeanie In A Bottle therefore we live day after day and NEVER ask for HELP. We feel that is SELFISH prayer! Oh my goodness!!! In reality that's like giving all your weapons over to you worst enemy and calling it quits and just letting the enemy do with you as he wills! It really is! Take a close look at the Psalms. They are for the most part written as if YOU were the only one in the entire world and God loves you enough to help you every time you get in trouble and call for His help! Treat the Psalms as precious as you treat John 3:16 knowing your life depends on what Jesus said there. No one can read Psalm 18 and believe they are so special that God will NOT help them. The problem is people don't read Psalm 18 or when they do they STILL believe GOD won't help them. That is pure UNBELIEF and we are all guilty! Its just too good to be true we tell ourselves and so we give up and never get the miracle we need and then we walk away thinking God doesn't want to help and that couldn't be further from the truth. Get your mind full of the Psalms and start believing your God cares and wants to help you ALL THE TIME.

Here's the trouble! We assume all the responsibility either is God's or it's ours to get help, but it really is a complete combination of BOTH! Basically on God's part we find COMPLETE and TOTAL help from Him unconditionally, however on our part we let our feelings and previous experiences decide the time whe He will help us and we usually decide its NEVER NOW! We fill our minds with all kinds of reasons that seem to make sense ranging from "we are not good enough" for God to help or perhaps God doesn't want me to be helped to teach us some important lesson. Interesting though no one ever knows what the lesson is but we will say things like this because we think it makes spiritual sense and it does NOT. If we really and truly believed God intended for us to have troubles then why do we spend hours upon hours of trying to get help to get out of these same troubles? Honestly face the music here! Find in the Bible where someone had the same trouble you are facing and do what they did and then you'll get out of your trouble. You'll never find in the Bible where someone just "rolled over" and claim it was "God's will" for some problem and so they just did nothing! Nope! Stop the blame game and get on DEFENSE and count on Jesus to help you get out of whatever trouble you are in. His Name alone means "Savior" and His entire earthly ministry here was helping people get out of temporary problems. He already assured everyone of a heavenly home someday after we die. Think the Bible through. His own mother asked Him to fix the "wine shortage" at a simple wedding and she KNEW he would even when He obviously said "IT WASN'T HIS TIME YET". Oh what miracles we lose because we keep telling God what He cant do!!!! Stop doing that!!!! Start trusting Jesus for every little problem and recieve your HELP TODAY! What will happen is you'll find your IMMEDIATE help and then no one can stop you from telling every one that Jesus did it for you!!!! This is how we spread the Gospel! Tell others what Jesus has done for YOU! Remember you'll get persecuted by some on our side that won't like it that you trust Jesus so much, but don't worry they need to be doing the same and when they see you do it they will stop complaining too and join you in the ABUNDANT LIFE Jesus so freely has given to all of us! Praise the Lord!
