STUDY GUIDE
John 8: 32 -- And ye shall
know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
The following teaching is
simple and self-explanatory. First an emotion, situation, or topic is mentioned
and then a Scripture reference and the Scripture that relates to that topic
follows. We, as Christians, continuing in the footsteps of Jesus Christ, must
be spiritually sharp.
II Timothy 4: 2 -- Preach the
word; be instant in season, out of season [whether it's convenient or not]; reprove, rebuke, exhort
with all longsuffering and doctrine.
Scripture retemory
(learning the Word by heart) is one of your most important KEYS TO POWER. A Teaching on Meditating on God's Word is available to you
on this renewed mind subject. If you do not know some Scriptures by heart, what
are you going to do if someone asks you about God's Word and you don't have
your Bible with you? That's not very convenient, correct? God want us to
be ready in season and out of season -- convenient or not. The Word of God is
just fantastic. It is the blueprint for living. For starters, we should know
what and where God says something about a particular situation or topic. This
study guide will help you in this area. Then you should go a step farther and
learn as many Scriptures as you can by memory. Then when you are going about
your day and come across an opportunity, you know what the Word says in
that area. You repeat the Scripture in your mind and act on it, you defeat the
opportunity, and you move on. That's how sharp God wants us to be and being
ready with God's Word any time and all the time is how we live the more than
abundant life promised in the gospel of John:
John 10: 10b -- I am come that
they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
