Above & Beyond Victory
The document discusses that Christians are in a real spiritual battle against Satan. It outlines that Satan is our enemy who seeks to destroy us, and that we are up against unseen spiritual forces. However, the document emphasizes that through faith in God, every Christian can achieve victory over Satan and the world.
British birds and their songs.

The dramatic story of an old man who's faith was challenged, how envy works and how God's justice prevails
Behind Enemy Lines!
This document discusses how Christians are living "behind enemy lines" in a spiritual battle against Satan. It provides three key points:
1) Learn who the enemy is - Satan uses deception and lies to fight believers.
2) Learn how the enemy fights - Satan appeals to worldly desires and uses enticement to tempt people away from God.
3) Learn what will defeat him - God alone has power over Satan, and Christians must rely on God's strength and submit to Him in order to overcome Satan's attacks. True victory comes from being on God's side through faith in Jesus Christ.
Experiencing god part 5
The document discusses how a crisis of belief requires faith and action. It notes that God is always at work pursuing people and inviting them to work with Him, which can lead to a crisis of belief. Having faith means being certain of what you cannot see, such as God's existence and reward for those who seek Him. Crises of faith often come with God-sized challenges that require trusting in God even without a promised good outcome. Both the Bible and personal experiences demonstrate that having faith in God can lead to either good or bad life outcomes.
Luke 15 11 19 slides 022011
This document discusses hindrances to crucifying oneself and living according to God's calling. It asserts that temptation shapes one's character depending on whether one applies or denies the cross. Living without the cross leaves one's image of God frozen and the animal inside liberated. Famine and hardship show one the consequences of choices, gravity of decisions, and opportunity to repent. To connect with one's divine calling, one must get up, go, and speak after taking up the cross as a personal opportunity. Growth occurs when moving from a theology of receiving to being made by God. The document encourages coming forward for prayer and fresh consecration to one's divine calling.
Gracious Jesus 39 The First Commission
The document discusses the differences between the first commission given to Jesus' twelve disciples and the great commission given later. The first commission focused on the Jews and gave the disciples authority over demons and sickness to heal and demonstrate the coming of God's kingdom. It instructed them to freely give what they freely received. In contrast, the great commission applied to all nations and distributed spiritual gifts among believers. Both commissions call believers to spiritual healing and not use gifts for material gain.
Finding Jesus
The document discusses how to find Jesus. It says that while some say Jesus does not exist, others are interested in finding him. It then provides biblical references showing that people should seek Jesus with diligence and their whole heart. It notes Jesus pre-existed, was prophesied about, and was proven to have come as the leader and savior. The document concludes that Jesus can be found through studying scripture and coming to him, and that his message should be taught to all so they can be saved.

KIM CLEMENT CHEERING FROM HEAVEN
1) The document summarizes a vision the author had while praying for Trump, in which he saw the late prophet Kim Clement cheering excitedly from the stands of heaven.
2) In the vision, Clement was elated that prayers were reversing the enemy's attempts to use COVID-19 to stop Trump from getting reelected, as Clement had prophesied years ago.
3) The author believes this validates that Trump will be humbled but ultimately victorious, defeating the enemies who planned the pandemic, and cementing another four years in office to further God's purposes.
Gracious Jesus 32: Jesus Delivers
Satan had destroyed a man by disconnecting him from God, entrapping him in an impure surroundings, and manipulating him into injuring himself. This man, possessed by an evil spirit called Legion, lived among tombs. When Jesus encountered him, he delivered the man by commanding the evil spirit to come out. Jesus' liberation defeated Satan and his numerous strong forces. However, the local people were repulsed by this and begged Jesus to leave their region, as they feared the loss of their possessions. The formerly possessed man then felt compelled to proclaim all that Jesus had done for him and how he had shown mercy.
Session 15 Old Testament Overview - I & II Kings
The document provides an overview of the biblical books of 1 and 2 Kings. It discusses how Kings originally formed one book and was compiled from many historical sources. The events covered stretch from King Solomon's rule to the exile of God's people. Throughout Kings, the kings are evaluated based on how well they obey God's law. Both the northern and southern kingdoms experience periods of obedience and disobedience among their rulers. This leads to blessings or judgments, as outlined in Deuteronomy. Ultimately, no earthly king fully fulfills God's purposes until the coming of Jesus Christ as the eternal king in the line of David.
5 steps to avoid temptation
The document provides 5 steps to avoid temptation: 1) Recognize your tendency to sin and expect temptation, 2) Run away from temptation and God will be faithful, 3) Resist temptation with the word of God by reading the Bible daily, 4) Refocus on praise when tempted to strengthen your resistance, 5) Repent quickly if you fail and flee from sin as instructed in various Bible passages. The overall message is that through recognizing, resisting, and refocusing on God, one can avoid giving in to temptation by applying these Bible-based steps.

Nt.- 1 Peter
1. The 1 Peter document discusses the authorship, audience, context, and organization of the biblical book of 1 Peter.
2. 1 Peter was likely written by the Apostle Peter with assistance from Sylvanus, though some scholars believe it is pseudonymous. It was written to encourage Christians facing persecution in Rome under Nero.
3. The document provides an overview of the content and structure of 1 Peter, including that it opens with praise, discusses suffering Christians will face and Christ's commands, and references the Old Testament.
1 John - Enjoy Fellowship
The document provides an overview and summary of key themes in 1 John. It discusses how 1 John emphasizes walking in the light through fellowship, obedience, and love. It also explores growing in purity and discerning true spirits from false ones. Key tests for discerning spirits include whether they confess Christ, listen to God's word, and obey God's commandments. The document examines how believers can be assured of salvation through obeying God and having Christ, while the world lies in evil. It poses discussion questions about assurance of salvation and the importance of a pure heart.
10. How Do I Defend The Gospel
The document discusses defending and explaining the Christian gospel. It provides biblical passages encouraging Christians to always be ready to defend their faith. It defines apologetics as presenting reasonable defenses for the truth of Christianity. The goal of apologetics is to strengthen faith and remove obstacles for unbelievers to recognize the truth of the gospel. While arguments can't save, they can point people to Jesus by answering questions and objections. The document offers guidelines and cautions for respectful apologetic discussions.
The First Apocalypse of Jesus: Palm Sunday
Palm Sunday was a home-run for Jesus...but not the kind the cheering crowds were thinking about. Palm Sunday was the unveiling, the apocalypse of the real Jesus who now was about to finish what His Father started when He sent Him to earth...for us.

Choices – not all are bad
The document discusses the theme of choices, noting that while choices exist, not all choices are equally good or lead to the same outcomes. It provides several biblical examples of people faced with choices, such as the Pharisees who chose whether to follow or oppose Jesus. The conclusion emphasizes that God gives people free will to choose but ultimately desires they choose life, blessings, and to love and follow Him.

These 7 keys or lights help us move progressively from the darkness of uncertainty towards the light of clarity and purpose.
Vintage 10.3.21 the_bookofjob
1. The document discusses the story of Job from the Bible, who endured great suffering and loss but did not curse God. It examines how Job maintained his faith and integrity despite his wife urging him to curse God.
2. It notes how the story shows that suffering is not necessarily a sign of God's punishment or lack of faith, and that God's ways are higher than humans can understand.
3. The document suggests that like Job, believers should face hardship with humility, trusting that God is sovereign over all things even if God's reasons remain unknown.
Obstacles To Faith: Unanswered Questions
It's easy to allow ourselves to dwell on questions that become obstacles to faith. For example, "If God is good, how can He allow innocent people to suffer?" Or, "What if a person is on his way to be baptized, and gets killed in an accident?" Many such questions raise similar issues; they discourage us from trusting God and His wisdom. This lesson deals with one such question. Namely, "If God is just and good, how could He condemn Native American Indians who never heard the gospel?"
Hearing the Voice of God (Revised)
Do you desire to hear God's voice? How do you know when He's speaking? This study details the methods through which God speaks and the heart we must have in order to hear Him clearly.
Spiritual Warfare Bible Study 1 30 2013
This document summarizes a bible study on spiritual warfare. It discusses that spiritual warfare is real and affects areas like marriage, ministry, and vision. Spiritual warfare refers to the invisible spiritual conflict that manifests physically. The devil schemes against people, and targets the mind with uncrucified thoughts. The bible study provides examples of spiritual warfare from the bible like Daniel praying, Jehoshaphat praising God before battle, and Jesus casting out demons. It emphasizes using prayer and God's word to fight spiritual warfare instead of human strength alone. Speaking God's promises and developing a prayer life are important weapons.
Indispensable Christians
Jephthah was an indispensable leader in the Bible who overcame rejection. He lived in "good" lands despite being cast out by his family. When his people needed a leader for war, they sought him out because he was known as a "mighty man of valor" who showed courage in adversity. Jephthah was also anointed by the Spirit of God, which empowered him to break the yoke of their enemies. The document argues that to be indispensable Christians today, believers must dwell in positivity despite hardship, be courageous through challenges, and rely on God's anointing for victory.
Church secularization Understand/enter all truth The Great Commandment, Love...
The document discusses how churches have become secularized by not abiding in God's words. It argues true love of God and others means obeying God's commandments. Several Bible passages are cited that emphasize the importance of entering God's truth through memorizing scripture with the Holy Spirit's guidance. True faith also requires following God's will through all of life's circumstances. When church members abide in God's word, the church will be sanctified; failing to do so leads to disputes and loss of salvation as the church becomes like the world. Contact information is provided to discuss further training on becoming a disciple.
Satan’s Schemes - Knowing the Enemy - 2 Cor. 2.11; Eph. 6.11
Satan uses various schemes to deceive people, but Christians can overcome through knowledge of his tactics and faithfulness to God. The document outlines Satan's schemes such as spreading atheism and humanism to blind minds, appealing to lusts of the flesh to distract people from God, persecuting Christians, and using unfaithful people to discourage others. It encourages readers to fight against Satan through obedience to God, recognizing Satan's power but trusting in God's strength, and turning to God in repentance if having given in to Satan's deception.
Knowledge/Love, Arrogant, test, puffs up, Knowledge => Obey the Lord's Word...
Knowledge makes people arrogant. This concept seems to be completely different from the world’s thinking. If I learn more, then I should know the breadth of knowledge. I should be like a learned person, and I should be more humble. But why the Bible said so, if this is a truth that violates the rules of the world. In this chapter, let us carefully look for the truth of the Bible for detail analysis.
June 28.2015 -Sunday Message- FACING YOUR FEARS

It then outlines 5 principles for overcoming fears: get the facts, know the truths, evaluate situations, make faith declarations, and actively apply God's word. Having faith requires hearing God's word and putting it into practice.

When we walk the spiritual path, the first thing is to be sanctified, that is, to be separated from the world. This does not mean that we have to leave this world immediately, but that although we are in the world, everything we do, what we say, is representing God. And we can always remain unbiased in God’s truth, and at the same time continue to thrive. This chapter will discuss this topic

11 November 16, 2014, Hebrews 12, The Discipline Of Suffering
The document provides an overview and analysis of Hebrews 12:1-11, which discusses the discipline of suffering. Some key points:
1) The passage uses the metaphor of a race to describe the Christian life journey, where believers must endure hardship and discipline to grow in faith.
2) Jesus is presented as the role model who endured the cross and now sits at God's right hand. Believers are called to keep their eyes fixed on him.
3) Suffering and difficulties in life are a form of divine discipline from God to his children, intended to produce holiness and righteousness, not punishment.
4) Discipline should not be taken lightly or cause believers to lose heart
11 November 16, 2014, Hebrews 12, The Discipline Of Suffering
This document provides a summary of a sermon given on Hebrews 12:1-11 about God's discipline of believers.

James 1 testing 9-9
This document discusses how God uses tests and trials to help believers grow in maturity and faith. It notes that tests come from outside sources like hardships or losses, from within in the form of temptations, and through studying God's word. While temptation does not come from God, he is faithful to not allow people to be tempted beyond what they can handle. Tests help transform believers as they learn to trust God during difficult times and renew their minds with his word.
Emotion In Religion

Mixed signals are caused by not listening well, making assumptions, and being in environments that promote confusion. This leads to confusion, chaos, and potential condemnation. To avoid this, we must send the right signals by building good habits at home through training, enforcement of boundaries, and leading exemplary lives through our conversations and good works that glorify God.
With eternity's values in view 7
This document is a summary of a sermon on developing a pure heart based on the sixth Beatitude from Matthew 5:8 - "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God." The sermon discusses how purity starts from within by controlling thoughts and desires. It notes evil desires lead to temptation and sin.

Contentment: The Needed Virtue
Contentment is an elusive pursuit and we chase after things that we hope would make us happy only to find that it doesn’t last. The message highlights that contentment is an inner assurance of God’s goodness that produces joy and gratitude despite the external circumstances. Lessons and principles from Paul’s testimony teaches believers that contentment is a virtue that needs to be learnt. True contentment comes from living a life in the fear of Lord and affirming the supremacy of Christ in our day to day challenges.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

Testing Every Spirit (1 John 4:1)
- 1. Testing every spirit by Brian Birdow Sermon text: 1 John 4:1; 1 Chronicles 17:1-10
- 2. Objective of Lesson 1. To challenge us to study for ourselves. 2. To challenge us to stand on the truth! 3. Why don’t more people fact check?
- 3. Fact check the leaders •Isaiah 9:16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err (or they have been leading them astray) and those who are following them are destroyed.
- 4. The advice of Nathan • 1 Chronicles 17:1-10 • Nathan told David something God had not told him! Note vs. 2. • A lot of people are mislead by someone telling them, “do all that is in your heart!” • Or to me I do not see it as sin or that big of a deal.
- 5. Study to know for yourself! • 1 Timothy 4:13—Until I come, give attention to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation and teaching. • 2 Timothy 3:16—All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness. • Acts 17:11 Now these are more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.
- 6. Study to know for yourself! 2 Timothy 2:15 •Study (be diligent) to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
- 7. Hold fast to what you know! • 1 Thessalonians 5:21— Prove (test) all things; hold fast to what is good! • 1 John 4—Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. • Prove the matter first by the word of God, then don’t waiver from the truth!
- 8. The Man of GOD 1 Kings 13 • He like you and I will face temptations and snares of the devil. • He like you and I knew what right and what was wrong. He resisted the first offer, but not the second! • He did not holdfast to what God had commanded Him. • He was punished liked you and I will be if we disobey God.
- 10. Why don’t we fact check? Because we are to trusting of others! Proverbs 25:19— Confidence in an unfaithful man in times of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint. Because it takes work and we are lazy! Proverbs 10:4—Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth.
