Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for being patient with me in my trials. I have failed many of my tests the first time around, but because of Your love and mercy, I have been given another chance to overcome. Each time You have strengthened me until I have been able to overcome the devil with his temptations. Lord, I do want to be conformed into Your image. It seems so impossible, but You said that with You there is nothing impossible, so I am believing You to do the work in my life that is necessary so that I might overcome and please You. Lord, be merciful and help all of us, Your children. I ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen.

THE MINISTRY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

Mark 8:12, "And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation."

MARK 8:11-13

The Greek word used here for "sighed deeply" means an intense grieving, inaudible prayer, or groan. This is intercession of the Holy Spirit, with groanings that cannot be uttered....

                                    Epistle to Jude bible study

I am now doing a short bible study on the epistle written by Jude to us, for it really does not fit with any others so I am doing it all on its own, even though it is but one chapter. Jude is the next to last book of the bible- only Revelation comes after. Even though it is short, one chapter with 25 verses, it does contain some powerful messages even for us today because it is written to all those who are called to the faith as it says in its salutation. Jude, a brother to James says he wanted to write about common salvation but feel like he needs to address that certain people who pervert the grace of Christ have crept in comparing those to others who did that and then were destroyed or punished severely. Even Michael only rebuked Satan but these evil blaspheme what they don’t understand. Jude does promise that the Lord will come with His elect numbering in the tens of thousands....

                                    Epistles to Titus and Philemon bible study

            Here is a bible study on the epistles to Titus, another spiritual son of Paul and also a co-laborer Philemon. These two personal epistles are for encouragement, direction, and even some correction both for the people they were written to originally but also for us to read, learn and grow in our faith in, as the bible is such a wonderful tool to help grow, strengthen and mature one’s faith in Jesus and relationship with God

            In Titus chapter 1 after the salutation which speaks of Paul’s and everyone else’s hope of eternal life wants Titus to remain in Crete and appoint overseers who must be above reproach to what is left of the church there and the qualities the overseer must have. He must get the church in order rebuking and correcting all deceivers, lazy, insubordinate and other bad people to...

                                    Epistles to Timothy bible study

            Here is a bible study consisting of  both of Paul’s letters to Timothy, someone whom Paul regarded as a spiritual son and these letters were written to lead, guide, instruct, give directions and commands, help Timothy correct others on his own ministry and missions. There are many things also applicable to us today; indeed Paul sometimes spoke quite prophetically about the way people are today in these two epistles in different chapters

            In 1 Timothy chapter 1 Paul urges Timothy to remain in Ephesus to correct and rebuke, stopping some from teaching false doctrines and teachings and goes on to say the law is good if used lawfully but reminds us it was laid down for the lawless, then Paul is thankful that Jesus appointed him to his ministry even though Paul was the foremost of sinners but received mercy as his sins were done in ignorance...

                        Epistles to the Thessalonians bible study

Paul wrote these two epistles to the church at Thessalonica largely commending them for their faith and also to look forward to Jesus’ coming. These epistles then have strong end times related scriptures as a result of this, much more so than the other epistles that Paul wrote to the various churches that he visited and evangelized or even to His brothers and servants in Christ such as Timothy, Titus and Philemon, whom he wrote personal epistles to. He also gives us good words of advice for today for us to learn off of and live by.

In 1 Thessalonians 1 Paul gives thanks for the Thessalonians to God believing that they were chosen for His purposes in areas then commending them for their faith in Jesus and also being a good example to others, also for excellent reception and encourages them to wait for Jesus

(1 Thessalonians 1:1)  Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy,...

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you that You called me to be Your servant. Lord, give me the grace to serve You well. I do thank You for Your wisdom also. Guide me daily in the things that I must do and show me my priorities. Help me to be sensitive to the needs of those around me. Lord, I am looking to You to meet all of my needs. Give me peace and confidence when I must deal with situations that are difficult for me. May I speak the truth in love and be open myself for correction when You see something in my life that needs changing. I ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen.

JESUS TRIED HER FAITH

Matthew 15:27, "But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread and cast it unto the dogs."

MATTHEW 15:21-39; MARK 7:24-37; 8:1-10

It is very clear in scripture that Jesus was sent to fulfill God's covenant to the Jews. However, it was equally clear that Jesus would open up faith unto the Gentiles. Jesus certainly knew...

                                    Epistle to the Colossians bible study

            This is a bible study of the epistle Paul wrote to the church at Colossae which is a very encouraging letter largely commending them on things, but there are corrections and such. There also are many things for us today too, as these epistles are timeless and contain many excellent life applications for us to go by and use in our everyday lives in our Christian walk

            The first chapter of the epistle Paul after the salutation says him and those with them don’t stop praying for those in the Colossian church for he commends them on their faith in Jesus and prays for their strengthening and wisdom and to walk on a manner worthy of Christ who has delivered them from darkness (us too) for Christ wants to reconcile all to Him no matter their evil deeds then Paul speaks of his afflictions and persecutions in ministry

(Colossians 1:1)  Paul, an...

                                    Epistle to the Philippians bible study

            Next up is Paul and Timothy’s- it was written by both men, though mainly I suspect by Paul, from prison- epistle to the Philippians and their church. It generally is a rather happy epistle commending them for much good works, and their relationship with the Lord but also it has good advice for us nowadays too, for the bible is a timeless thing. There are many encouraging words in this epistle for people to read and be lifted up and grow in Christ with them.

            In chapter one the authors assure us that God will finish the work that He started in us in Christ Jesus then they want the Philippians to be even more abounding in love and filled with the fruits of righteousness. Regardless of motivations of presenting Christ Paul is just happy that Christ is proclaimed and the gospel spread, so that people can be saved as a result although Paul would...
