Richard Adair's - Bible Study Lessons

Faith is so simple. We use it every day. However, when it comes to God many times we feel we are just to not expect anything, but rather take life's hand no matter how its dealt to us. Many believe this infact is faith, but it couldn't be further from trusting the Lord. Anyone can accept difficulties in their lives, but it takes faith to believe God has something better for you than a life full of heartaches. When we read God's Word its like a different world! Exactly! Start believing what you see written in the Bible is for you TODAY! It will happen and you'll make God proud that you dared believe His promises!!!

Prayer in the Bible is not trial and error. Neither is it termed "yes, no or maybe". Biblical prayer is recieve what you ask for and not take no for an answer. "Is anything to hard for the Lord"? The easiest thing to do is continue to convince ourselves that God doesn't want to grant us what we ask for. Stay ahead of the unbelief. Stop believing things like this. Become more like King David who never thought his prayers would be unanswered. That kind of thinking was for the idols people worshipped because idols had no miraculous ability to help like our God can and will! Stop your whining and start your trusting Jesus today!

Why is it we believe more in ourselves than in Jesus? So often we think Jesus just won't help me because of some reason or another. Thats funny! Hebrews 13:8 says Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever. No one that ever came to Jesus for help did He turn down. Stop trying to be the first. Your unbelief will only delay your miracles that you need right now. Jesus will not every run out of love for you nor miracles. He said He would do more miracles that you may MARVEL! Are we done marveling at creation? Has the beauty of God's Creation suddenly become boring? I don't think so! Start looking for God's help and your miracle, TODAY!

Dont ever worry! Jesus is your High Priest and He knows your shortcomings. Condemnation is real and it originates from the Devil. You will be your own worst enemy if you do not take time to believe God's Word concerning forgiveness. Why is it we feel we are supposed to forgive everyone, but one little mistake we make send God packing we feel and He doesn't forgive us. Well, that's simply not true. "Forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us"! Its that simple! I'm supposed to forgive and Jesus is faithful and just to forgive you the same! That being so, why the sad face? Why feel like God won't help me with some problem? Reverse the feelings and start trusting in God even when you make a mistake! Isaiah 1:18-19 Come let us reason together says the Lord though you sins be as scarlet they shall be as white as snow, though they be red like crimson they shall be as wool. If you be willing and obedient you shall eat the good of the land! How can eating the good of the land be so close to dealing with our sins? Its called MERCY!!!!! You have it!!! Start counting on it.

So much of the time we feel because of our mistakes this somehow stops the miraculous in our lives. If that's really so when do we get the miraculous back? Truly to think this way is utterly absurd when you look at all the sinners Jesus helped. Which ones did He turn down because they were too sinful or perhaps had recently sinned? Not hardly! Our self punishment will not move Jesus one inch. When we quit pointing the condemning finger at ourselves and start trusting in Jesus for His help we'll get out of our problems immediately. The scriptures plainly teach this. To believe something else is to miss your own mercy! Start trusting Jesus now to get you out of your most pressing problem! He will do it! He's not called a Savior for nothing! Soon you be singing and praising His Name and happy and wanting to tell everyone what great things Jesus is doing for you.

Sometimes we feel we are so alone, but we are NOT. There's special angels assigned to us all. They are under command of God to protect us. Do we ever NEED IT!

God's Peace belongs to you and me. The bible tells us this. God's Peace is amazing passing all our understanding. This is one of the outstanding benefits of knowing Jesus. When we feel like there's no way we can stop worrying about a problem we can find this peace to set us free from all torment and make us smile.

Typically we tend to believe the worst about ourselves as we stand before God. Jesus will make you relax and start believing in His mercy for you. Many people came to Jesus asking for His mercy and he Never turned them down and He won't you. Jesus wants to help you. Too often we feel we need to pay for His help. Stop thinking that way. You couldn't afford it anyway and besides His help is free!

Yes we have a common enemy. The Bible refers to him as the Devil, but we can beat him in every circumstance. Our lives down here on earth are not supposed to be full of torment. Jesus came that we might have life and have it more abundantly.
