How to Fulfil God’s Will
It is more tragic when a person knows God’s will but doesn’t fulfill it than if they never knew His will to begin with (2 Pet. 2:21). I believe this happens more often than most people realize.
When we get to heaven and look back on our lives, I don’t think many of us will say, “I trusted God too much.” But many of us will say, “I played it too safe. I spent my time being occupied with too many things and not going for what God said.”
So, I think how to fulfill God’s will may be the most important part of this teaching, How to Find, Follow, and...

Book of Numbers bible study chapters 9 through 16
These events that are chronicled in the book of Numbers likely happen after the commandments are given and perhaps also the golden calf issue, where Israel gets into position to check it out, and sends scouts to check out the promised land and then they get two conflicting reports, one of faith and one unbelieving. They children sadly go with the unbelieving ones and that unbelief and rebellion, perhaps along with their other grumbling dooms them to wander the wilderness 40 years, and as such almost all die in the wilderness and only the descendants see the promised land. Also in this study towards the end is where a group of rebels led by Korah try to usurp Moses’ authority, but God deals with that.

ONE HUNDRED TIMES ZERO
Matthew 17:27 "Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money; that take, and give unto them for me and thee."
MATTHEW 17:24-27
This was quite a miracle. Not only was the money supplied for their taxes, but it was the exact amount...

Golden calf and God visitation bible study Exodus 24, 32-34
Here is the story of the Golden calf idol as a warning to people of what to not do. After receiving the commandments Moses then was called up the mountain again by God to receive them on stone and on detailed instructions on building the Ark of the Covenant. The people below did not know what happened to Moses and even wondered if he had died so they mad Aaron build them this idol. If it would not have been for Moses’ intercession and pleas for mercy on the people God would likely have destroyed the people that he brought out of Israel, save for Moses and Aaron because of their act of making this golden calf.

Israel from Egypt bible study Exodus chapters 13 through 20, Deuteronomy 5
These next 8 chapters in Exodus, chapters 13 through 20, take the Israelites out of Egypt and up to Mount Sinai, but not without pursuit as God for one last time hardens Pharaohs heart, causing him to pursue the Israelites into the Red Sea, which God so graciously opens for Israel to let them pass on the dry ground yet closes it back over the Egyptian army and even presumably Pharaoh destroying them all. Then Israel after praising and worshipping God for their deliverance, starts complaining almost immediately about not having provisions such as food and water,and even wants to be back in Egypt. God bears with it somewhat patiently, and then the Israelites end up at Mount Sinai where they receive a powerful visit form God and the commandments. Here is a link to the prior study of all the plagues and events that happened in Egypt done by God to set Israel free

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your many blessings. As I face each new day Lord, may I do so with an expectation that You will prevail in my live and help me do Your will. Help me to guard my lips and speak things that are good and right. Let me refrain my lips from all evil. Lord, I want my tongue to be an instrument of righteousness in Your ears. Help me to keep my mouth shut when I need to do so, and help me to open it and speak when you are prompting me to do so. Give me the Holy boldness to witness to others of Your love and grace, and to hold my peace when I should. I ask this in the Holy name of Jesus. Amen.

Do you really know how much God loves you? He really does love you and so more than you can ever know because these verses in John 3 state just how much He loves you.
(John 3:16) "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
(John 3:17) For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
What are we to be saved from? Romans is very clear that we need to be saved from our own sin
(Romans 3:23) for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
(Romans 3:24) and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
(Romans 6:23) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
These verses make it clear that we need to be saved...

Do you know how much God loves you? He really does love you
(John 3:16) "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
Why would God do that? Romans makes it very clear that we are all sinners
(Romans 3:23) for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
(Romans 6:23) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
It is clear that we need to be saved but Jesus died for us while we were yet sinners
(Romans 5:8) but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Salvation however is indeed a gift from God which cannot be earned
(Ephesians 2:8) For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,
(Ephesians 2:9) not a result of works, so that no one may...

Moses and the Plagues on Egypt bible study Exodus chapters 3 through 12
Here is a bible study which contains the commissioning of Moses, then his interactions with Pharaoh and then all of the ten plagues that God used to get Israel finally free of their slavery in Egypt. These chapters show God at His most powerful using plagues to achieve His purpose, namely to free the children of Israel, His children from the slavery and oppression that they were undergoing in Egypt. This oppression started in the end of this bible study which also shows how Israel got to Egypt. Here is the link for it

FASTING DRIVES AWAY DOUBT
Mark 9:29 "And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting."
MARK 9:28-29
Prayer and fasting do not drive certain demons out. If the name of Jesus and faith in His name won't do the job, then fasting and prayer won't either. Jesus is saying that fasting and prayer are the only ways of casting out this type of unbelief.
