King David bible study 2 Samuel chapters 13 through 21
These chapters illustrate all the trials and tribulations David faced after being confronted about the Bathsheba affair, and as prophesied when he was confronted many things did happen. These events that even sins repented of can create troubles for us,especially where there are grievous sins, as David’s sins in regards to Bathsheba were indeed grievous (adultery, murder) so we need to try to be very careful of what we do to start out with, and use the Lord’s strength to resist temptation, something David failed to do (all fail, actually on occasion, only Jesus alone lived a sin free life). We must keep our mistakes to a minimum, and repent as soon as we know we have blown it. I have heard sin compared to throwing a stone in water, the ripples that spread out are representations of its effects on the sinner and others, and there are few if any sins that we commit that do NOT affect others in some way or...

THE COST OF LIVING FOR CHRIST
Luke 9:58 "And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head."
MATTHEW 8:18-22; LUKE 9:51-62
This verse has often been used to support the misconception that Jesus and His disciples lived in poverty. However, in this instance, the fact that Jesus had nowhere to lay His head was because of...

GROW IN GRACE
Luke 9:55 "But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of."
LUKE 9:54-56
Jesus was constantly being accused of breaking the law of Moses. He taught differently than the law of Moses (Mt. 5:21-48), and now He rebukes His disciples for desiring to do what an Old Testament prophet did with God's blessing and power. However, Jesus didn't come to...
Book of Joshua bible study dividing and settling of the Promised Land
This study is a continuation and shows what happened after Joshua and the people of Israel conquered much, but not all of the Promised Land. They then appointed the land to the tribes of Israel in the various ways by as devised by God. The chapter goes into all this, and more. Here is a link to the earlier 12 chapters of Joshua which this study now expands on
In Joshua chapter 13 then Joshua gives some of the tribes their inheritances of land but there are starting to be occasions where they do not drive out the people as they were supposed to
(Joshua 13:1) Now Joshua was old and advanced in years,...
Dear Heavenly Father,Thank you for those who have prayed for me over the years. Although we do not know the people whom You have had to pray for us, we are thankful for those prayers, and we know that we shall meet those people in heaven. Help us to be faithful to intercede for others who may be needing special prayer this very day. What a wonderful privilege to pray for others. Increase our prayer life, as this is the way you have designed to channel blessings to the earth. Prayer is an act of love, so may I love others today in this manner. Bless your faithful saints who have prayed and stood in faith to see their family members come home. I ask this in the blessed holy name of Jesus. Amen.

LIFE OF GOD
John 10:10 "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."
JOHN 10:7-10
The Greek word translated "life" here is "zoe" and it means life in the absolute sense or life as God has it. Everyone who is breathing has life in the sense of physical existence, but only those who receive Jesus...
Book of Malachi bible study
This is a bible study on the book of Malachi, the very last book of the Old Testament, and maybe the latest book written time wise, well after the exile was over. It is rather short as it has only four chapters, and gives good advice on what to do and to not do, and also chastises the people for doing wrong things as they did, and makes a few prophecies, on punishment of evil doers and even blessings for doing the right things.
In chapter 1 of the book of Malachi, the continual punishment and desolation of Edom is prophesied and the people of Israel are then chastised for not fearing and honor oaths but bringing bad and blemished sacrifices
(Malachi 1:1) The oracle of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi.
(Malachi 1:2) "I have loved you," says the LORD. But you say, "How have you loved us?" "Is not Esau Jacob's brother?" declares...
Dear Heavenly Father,I am thankful for Your love and patience toward me. Help me to extend that same love and patience to others. Help me to be a kind and loyal person in all of my circumstances. Open my eyes to see my own faults so that I might present them to You for the needed changes. Forgive me for wrong attitudes and change my heart to be like Yours. I release all those who have caused me pain and trouble to Your care. Be merciful to them and help them to change also. Lord, give us all Your grace and mercy in this hour that there is so much evil in the world. I ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen.

HEARING GOD'S VOICE
John 10:2-3 "But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out."
JOHN 10:1-21
This verse promises all who are God's sheep that they not only can, but that they do, hear His voice. Many born-again people doubt the truth of this statement based on their...
