The document discusses kingdom values or the "fruit of the Spirit" from Galatians 5:22-23. It provides definitions for each of the 9 values - love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance. The values are part of the culture and concept of God's kingdom. Expressing these values means one will be fruitful and fail-proof according to God's definition.
This document discusses the concept of the kingdom. It begins by defining key terms like king, kingdom, lordship, and subjects. It explains that a kingdom involves a king with territory and subjects under his lordship. It then contrasts the concept of a kingdom with that of a state, noting some of the differences between rule by a king versus a democracy. The document emphasizes that true submission to the lordship of Christ is necessary to enter his kingdom, and it explores what subjection to the kingdom entails for believers.

This document discusses specific beliefs in the Kingdom of God in response to questions from a previous seminar. It begins by recapping the components of culture and what constitutes a kingdom. It then addresses questions about whether salvation means the soul and body are also born again (the spirit is born again but the soul and body must be renewed). It also discusses whether Heaven and the Kingdom of God are the same (they are different). It explains key concepts like spirit, soul, and body; the original mandate of man; and that entering the kingdom involves more than just salvation.
This document discusses kingdom values and their importance for success according to scripture. It begins by recapping values from the previous week's discussion. It then examines where values fit within the concept of God's kingdom, noting that values are part of the kingdom's culture. The document outlines eight key values from 2 Peter 1:5-7 that can lead to fruitfulness and prevent failure if practiced: faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness, and love.

By rising from the dead, Jesus became the "firstborn among many" and his resurrection made it possible for believers to be born again from death to life through faith in him. The consequences of the resurrection were that Jesus regained authority over all creation and believers can now share in his resurrected life through the new birth.
This document discusses the Jewish holiday of Passover. It provides background information on Jewish calendars and festivals. The main points are:
- Passover begins on Nisan 15 according to the Hebrew calendar and lasts for 7 days, from April 23-30 in 2016.
- The significance of Passover is that it commemorates God delivering the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, and Jesus's sacrifice as the ultimate Passover lamb who delivers believers from sin.
- Believers are instructed to celebrate Passover by eating unleavened bread representing purity, rather than bread with leaven representing sin.
- God created the sun, moon and stars to govern day and night and mark seasons and holy days, including

1) The document discusses the concept of the Kingdom of God and how culture fits within this concept. It identifies some key components of culture including values, norms, customs, traditions, symbols and language.
2) It examines the symbols and language used in modern Western medicine, tracing their origins back to ancient Greek gods and spirits. It argues that many diseases have spiritual or demonic roots.
3) The document emphasizes that healing comes from partaking in Jesus, the Bread of Life, rather than solely relying on Western medicine. It warns against accepting sickness from evil messengers or spirits.
The document discusses the three realms of the supernatural: faith, anointing, and glory. It states that faith is the first realm and portal to the supernatural. Faith is in the person of Jesus Christ and it is the beginning of entry into the supernatural realm. The document explores many Bible passages that discuss faith and how it is necessary to please God and receive his promises. It establishes that the realm of faith centers around believing in Jesus Christ.
The document discusses what it means to be a Spirit-filled, Spirit-empowered believer. It states that such a believer 1) walks with and is guided by the Holy Spirit, 2) is empowered to live victoriously over sin, and 3) is empowered by the Holy Spirit to minister effectively. It provides biblical examples to support each point. The document also discusses how to become a Spirit-filled believer by continually surrendering to the Holy Spirit and not grieving or quenching the Spirit through disobedience.
This is a study of Jesus being put on like a garment we are to ware, and we are to also put on the armor of light which is basically the same as putting on Jesus.
WARFARE AGAINST THE WORLD Spiritual warfare 2Butch Yulo
This document discusses the three spiritual wars Christians face: against the flesh, the world, and the devil. It emphasizes that Christians must first win the war against the flesh through overcoming sinful desires and habits. They then need to win the war against the world by not loving or conforming to worldly systems and cultures. Only after gaining victory in these first two wars can Christians directly confront demonic powers. The document warns that failing to win the first two wars leaves "open gates" for demons to retaliate. It then examines how Satan controls and influences the world through sinful cultural systems and structures to achieve his purposes of defiling and enslaving people.
God's appointed time part 4 pentecost acyButch Yulo
This document provides an overview of the biblical feast of Pentecost in three parts:
1. It explains what a biblical feast is and how Pentecost was originally an agricultural festival celebrating the wheat harvest.
2. It describes the three levels of Pentecost - receiving God's blessing of provision, supernatural revelation, and power/authority - and how the apostles understood this festival as a time when the heavens open.
3. It outlines three keys to preparing for Pentecost: praising God for provision, hungering for His word through study, and declaring His power through faith that the heavens are opening. The overall message is that Pentecost remains important today as a time when God desires
This document discusses how Christians should live in light of the imminent return of Jesus Christ. It examines different views on the rapture and tribulation period. The key points are:
1. Every generation of Christians believed Jesus was coming during their lifetime, based on signs in the Bible.
2. The document reviews passages suggesting the rapture occurs mid-tribulation or post-tribulation, not pre-tribulation as many believe.
3. Based on Jesus' teachings, Christians should live in constant readiness for His return, providing for others and making prudent preparations, rather than ignoring the signs of the times. How Christians live should reflect their eagerness to see Him.
This document discusses biblical numbers and events from 2014-2018 related to the end times. It aims to confront whether calculating dates of end time events is biblical and determine if evidence shows the imminent coming of the Tribulation period. The document outlines what will happen during the Tribulation based on descriptions in Revelation, including the seven seals, seven trumpets, and seven bowls. It also summarizes Jesus' description of the Tribulation in Matthew 24 and references Daniel 9 for clues about its timing.
This document discusses 4 significant milestones in the discipleship journey: Gilgal, Bethel, Jericho, and Jordan. It focuses on Bethel, describing it as encountering and experiencing the presence of God through communion, revelation, worship, and dependency. Bethel experiences involve encountering God's love through salvation, progressively experiencing his grace, maturing through trials that purify faith, and growing deeper in knowing God through his self-revelation. The Holy Spirit guides believers to continually experience God.
The document discusses running with horses in relation to four significant milestones in one's discipleship journey: Gilgal, Bethel, Jericho, and the Jordan.
Gilgal represents circumcision and cutting away of the flesh. To run with horses, one must deal with all aspects of the flesh, including bringing the past under the blood, knowing the divine exchange, and yielding to the Holy Spirit to circumcise the heart. Only then can one progress to the next milestones of discipleship.
Where Is the Beauty That We Should Desire Him?Jerry Smith
The document examines Isaiah 53, which provides a concise description of Jesus Christ's life, death, resurrection, and ministry. It divides Isaiah 53 into four sections: 1) His Person (verses 1-3) describe his humanity, appearance, and rejection. 2) His Passion (verses 4-6) explain that he bore our griefs, sorrows, and was punished for our transgressions. 3) His Passivity (verses 7-9) show his obedience as he did not resist but was acted upon. 4) His Portion (verses 10-12) present his reward for his sacrifice. The document aims to provide background and analysis of each verse to understand Jesus' role as the suffering servant
This document discusses how Christians have lost connection with God's appointed feast days and cycle of blessings outlined in the Old Testament. It argues that Satan has stolen this understanding by persuading Christians that the Old Testament is inferior or irrelevant. However, the New Testament valued the Old Testament and early Christians based their teachings and practices on it for decades before the New Testament was written. Reconnecting with the Old Testament feasts and cycle can help restore blessings intended by God.
The Feast of Trumpets, also known as Yom Teruah or Rosh Hashanah, is an appointed day that begins a ten-day period of repentance leading up to Yom Kippur. On this day, shofars (ram's horns) are blown in three different patterns - Tekiah, Shevarim, and Teruah - a total of 100 times, symbolizing God's call to repentance. The blowing of the shofars is meant to serve as a wake-up call and memorial before God, recalling important events in Israel's history like God providing a ram for Abraham to sacrifice instead of his son Isaac. Some traditions hold that the last trumpet mentioned in
Understanding Apostolic Covering and Prophetic StreamsButch Yulo
This document discusses the biblical concepts of apostolic covering and prophetic streams. It begins by reviewing that prophets are needed from the Old Testament through the New Testament. The objectives are to understand God's structure for the church, the roles of apostles and prophets, and prophetic streams. It cites Joel 2:28 and 1 Corinthians 14 to show that God will pour out His Spirit and people will prophesy. It then explores how God designed order and structure for the church through spiritual gifts. Apostles are mentioned as the foundational gift and prophets are also included. The document asserts that apostles and prophets are still active today based on Ephesians 4 and the ascension gifts of Christ. It provides biblical evidence
This document discusses discovering and exercising the believer's authority as a Christian. It outlines some of the foundations of a believer's authority, which include being seated with Christ in heavenly places and having power over the enemy through the name of Jesus. It also describes how believers can exercise their authority by resisting the devil and wielding the armor and weapons of God, such as the sword of the Spirit. The overall message is to stir up Christians to walk in the authority they have been given and to understand their responsibilities.
The document discusses the Holy Spirit from several perspectives. It notes that the Holy Spirit is often a controversial and divisive subject among Christians with different interpretations and doctrines. However, the main points are that the Holy Spirit is the promised Helper according to Scripture, is for every believer, and is more than just gifts or power. The Holy Spirit is God along with the Father and Son, though distinct in person but one in essence. The Holy Spirit gives life, changes life, and empowers believers to live for God and accomplish his purposes. Understanding the Holy Spirit helps believers live empowered lives led by the Spirit.
This document discusses the importance of developing a prophetic anointing and moving with the glory of God in the last days. It emphasizes praying and interceding prophetically as a watchman. Key points:
1) God has promised to pour out His Spirit and increase prophecy in the last days, and we receive this promise by faith.
2) To develop a prophetic ministry, we must have an intimate relationship with God and minister based on what we see and hear from Him through spiritual eyes and ears opened by the Holy Spirit.
3) Praying and interceding prophetically as a watchman means waiting on God for revelations of His will in heaven and praying accordingly. It involves listening quietly for
Updates and Scenarios on the Signs of the TimesButch Yulo
The document discusses signs of the times and events that refer to the second coming of Jesus and the end of the age. It explains that signs of the times refers to signs signaling Jesus' return and the transition from the old world to the new. Some key signs mentioned include natural signs like earthquakes, famines, and disturbances in the sun, moon, and stars. It also discusses political, spiritual, and moral signs to watch for, as well as the rise of the Antichrist and emergence of the 666 system. The document encourages readers to watch for these signs but not to set dates, and to stay ready at all times for Jesus' return.
Jesus came to initiate a process of salvation that leads to life and peace. Staying only at the level of salvation is why many do not experience the full glory that comes from entering into life. Jesus came to provide both forgiveness of sins through salvation and eternal life through drawing near to God. Drawing near to God, which is determined by one's mindset, increases one's proximity to the source of life. A carnal mindset focused on worldly things leads to death, while a spiritual mindset focused on God's word through meditation leads to life, peace, fruitfulness and glorifying God.
The document discusses the origins and history of life according to biblical scripture. It notes that Genesis says God formed man from dust and breathed the breath of life into him, making man a living soul. It was then that man sinned and died, because the wages of sin is death. Jesus was subsequently sent to remedy this by providing freedom from sin. His victory over sin destroyed death's power or sting to kill. Through faith in Christ, believers are made free from the law of sin and death and are now under the law of the Spirit of life.

This document contains notes from a seminar on the concept of God's kingdom. It discusses what it means for Jesus to be Lord and how acknowledging Him as Lord is essential for salvation. Lordship requires allowing Jesus' opinions to control one's actions. Simply calling Him Lord is not enough; one must live according to His commands. Changing one's confession of Him as Lord is considered sinful. For God's blessings and protection, one must remain steadfast in allowing Jesus to be the master of one's life.
This document summarizes a seminar on the concept of God's kingdom. It defines key terms like jurisdiction and lordship. It explores what it means for Jesus to be Lord and how his followers should exercise service rather than lordship over others. The seminar discusses how understanding God's kingdom involves understanding God as King over all, and bearing the fruits of his kingdom values. Being chosen and appointed by God means going to bear lasting fruit in the different spheres of society.
The document discusses the concept of the kingdom and scepters. It provides background on basic concepts of God's kingdom as outlined by a prophet, including the king, territory, lordship, culture, constitution, keys, and citizenship. It then examines definitions of jurisdiction and what a scepter is etymologically. Different types of scepters are described that can confer leadership, anger, strength, and serve as keys to legitimize authority. Biblical passages are referenced to support these concepts.
The document discusses concepts related to God's kingdom, including:
1. Basic concepts of God's kingdom outlined by Prophet Abu Bako include the King, territory, lordship, culture, constitution, keys, citizenship, and law.
2. Words are like seeds that can produce either life or death, depending on what kind of seed is sown, and people are responsible for the seeds they sow with their words.
3. In God's kingdom, growth happens in stages like a seed developing into a plant, and believers must steward their growth from an initial seed state to full maturity and fruitfulness.
Understanding PRAISE & THANKS as a Kingdom citizen. They are part of the LANGUAGE aspect of Kingdom citizenship. They are the sacrifice we offer, the fruit of our Lips!
This document provides an overview of concepts related to the kingdom of God, including culture, beliefs, and the word. Some key points:
- It recaps the definition of a kingdom as having a king, territory, lordship, culture, constitution, keys, citizenship, law, and giving. Culture includes beliefs, language, norms, and other factors.
- It discusses how God is king over his jurisdiction/kingdom, and explores the concept that the word begets the word, meaning things can only reproduce after their own kind. Spiritual seeds are words that can reproduce spiritually.
- It asserts that believers are new creations in Christ who have been regenerated by the immortal, everlasting
The document discusses the concept of God's kingdom through discussing various biblical concepts:
1) It outlines the basic concept of God's kingdom according to Prophet Abu Bako which includes elements like the King, territory, lordship, culture, constitution, keys, citizenship, and law.
2) It discusses the concepts of jurisdiction, covenant, and how Christ redeemed believers from the curse of the law so that Gentiles could receive the blessing of Abraham through faith.
3) It examines passages about the covenant God made with Abraham and how through Abraham's offspring (Christ) all nations would be blessed.
Longsuffering, or patience, is a fruit of the Spirit. It involves enduring difficult circumstances or people with patience and without anger. The document discusses how longsuffering is modeled by God's patient character, especially in delaying judgment. It is important in relationships and requires choosing patience over impatience during trials. Having a longsuffering attitude reflects the nature of love.
This document provides scripture passages and commentary on the book of Ephesians chapter 6 verses 10-18. It discusses how Christians need to be strong in the Lord and put on the full armor of God to stand against Satan's schemes. The armor includes truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, the Word of God, and prayer. Strength comes from God, not ourselves, and is needed to wrestle against spiritual forces of wickedness like principalities and powers. The full armor protects Christians and readies them for spiritual battle.
Shalom Saints,
It is in this time of Purim that we are reminded again of the power of putting on the armour of God.
Having situations and calamities still happening in our lives, we are still struggling with the very basic in our lives, to obtain peace and His promise.
Paul focused the believer on spiritual warfare, who we are wrestling with...
Ephesians 6:12 NKJV
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but
...against principalities,
...against powers,
...against the rulers of the darkness of this age,
...against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
The believer will not stand a chance if he does not put on the FULL armour of God. A partial armour also makes the believer vulnerable.
Let's learn how the enemy attack believers and how the armour of God protect us. Also to claim this privilege of protection that God has given unto each one of us.
Ephesians 6:13 NKJV
Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Earthquake in Turkey, flood in Johor, snow in Hollywood...you can name each disaster that may seemed a distance to us physically. One disaster that is closest to ourselves is when it happen to our family.
Come and join us and learn how we can put on this armor corporately and stand firm on His protection and promise.
As you know who we are, a prayer altar. Come and join us who can pray for you behind your back.
“The Peace of God" - [Philippians 4:6-13] - Who does not desires to have peace? This world can be a cruel, harsh, troublesome place - a place of worry, anxiety, Stress, fear and terror . . . WE ALL WANT PEACE - - BUT - most are searching for it in all the wrong places and all the wrong ways. This study examines what the peace of God is, (real, lasting peace), in contrast with the pseudo peace offered by the world & how we can find & have this true peace.
CLP Training Talk 1- Evangelism & Spiritual WarfareChristine Cayona
This document discusses spiritual weapons and protection for spiritual warfare. It outlines four spiritual weapons: commitment to Christ's cause through righteousness and purity; zeal and single-minded devotion to God; the Word of God; and spiritual gifts like wisdom, discernment, and tongues. It also describes the armor of God for protection: truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and the Word of God. It emphasizes using these weapons and armor through daily Bible reading, prayer, and resisting the devil. The conclusion exhorts balancing not attributing everything to the devil while still resisting him through submission to God.
The document is a Bible study guide that includes summaries and commentary on the readings for the 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time C:
1. The first reading from Habakkuk discusses the prophet's unsettling vision of violence and God's response to write down the vision. The psalm calls the worshippers to joyfully sing to God as their shepherd.
2. The second reading from 2 Timothy encourages Timothy to make use of the gifts of power, love and self-control given by God to courageously testify about their faith.
3. The Gospel reading from Luke contains Jesus' teaching about having faith the size of a mustard seed and being humble servants who do their duty without expectation of reward.
This document contains a summary of 2 Timothy 3:16-4:4 and additional commentary. It makes three key points:
1. Scripture should speak to us by teaching, reproving, correcting, and training us so that we may be complete and equipped for God's work.
2. We should teach Scripture by preaching the word in and out of season, through reproving, rebuking, and exhorting with patience.
3. Spiritual decay occurs when people reject sound teaching and follow myths, craving teachers that suit their own desires rather than truth. They turn away from Scripture. We must let Scripture speak to and work through us.
This sermon discusses worry and provides remedies based on Philippians 4:6-7. It defines worry as rumination without progress on issues, while concern is solution-oriented. The passage encourages bringing all concerns to God through prayer with thanksgiving. When believers do this, reacting to problems with prayer instead of worry, God's peace will guard their hearts and minds as it surpasses all understanding. The sermon emphasizes trusting God's love, wisdom and power over circumstances.
The document discusses how tribulation provides believers with unflinching steadfastness. It notes that tribulation works patience in believers and patience results in proven character. Believers can rejoice in tribulation because they know it produces perseverance through difficult times and strengthens their faith. The document also explains that salvation does not instantly purify one's character, and that God uses trials to refine believers and perfect them.
The document provides an overview of the structure and purpose of the book of Revelation. It begins by explaining that Revelation was written to give Christians hope that Jesus will return as conquering King to establish his eternal reign. It then outlines the structure of Revelation, with Chapter 1 describing things John has seen, Chapters 2-3 addressing things that are, and Chapters 4-22 addressing things that will take place. The rest of the document discusses three guiding principles for understanding Revelation and provides analysis of the letters to the seven churches.
This document provides a summary of Doctrine and Covenants sections 27 and 28. Section 27 discusses the importance of personal revelation, partaking of the sacrament with the right intent, and putting on the armor of God. It describes a future gathering of prophets at Adam-ondi-Ahman. Section 28 warns against misguided leadership. Key topics that matter to God are highlighted, such as truth, righteousness, salvation, and preparing for Jesus Christ's second coming through continuing revelation and the restoration of gospel truths and ordinances. The armor of God protects believers as they face spiritual opposition.
Nov 6 2016 - Sunday Message - Overcoming doubt and unbeliefCatherine Lirio
This document provides 9 ways to develop a strong faith that overcomes doubt and unbelief. They include regularly attending worship, reading Scripture daily, praying for strong faith, declaring God's words of faithfulness, renouncing lies, viewing trials as opportunities to strengthen faith, listening to faith-building messages, avoiding cynical influences, and encouraging others. The conclusion emphasizes that all things are possible with God.
1) The document discusses how to maintain laughter and persevering faith in the midst of opposition. It defines key terms like maintain, laughter, and opposition.
2) It outlines the themes of the book of Hebrews, including the supremacy of Christ. It then discusses the characteristics of persevering faith shown through biblical examples.
3) The document explains that the writer of Hebrews urged readers to persevere in faith through both warnings against drifting from truth and reminders of encouragement. It provides examples of the five warning passages and their corresponding encouraging responses.
11.11.18 the lord's prayer 7th petition-but deliver us from evilJustin Morris
This document discusses the 7th petition of the Lord's Prayer, "But deliver us from evil." It provides commentary on what this petition means, including that we pray to be rescued from every evil of body and soul, possessions and reputation, and to be given a blessed end. When our last hour comes, we pray to be taken from this valley of sorrow to God in heaven. The commentary emphasizes that we pray against our chief enemy, the devil, who hinders everything we pray for, and that God preserves us from this arch enemy.
Why does a Christian need a helmet? What is the helmet protecting? How does salvation protect the head? Why does Paul instruct the "saints at Ephesus" to "put on the helmet of salvation" if they are already "saved"? What is the difference between the brain and the mind? How does the "blessed hope" in Messiah's return change your mind and motivate you to persevere through life's tribulations?
This document outlines a 10 week challenge to pray daily and monitor one's heart. It encourages praying for wisdom and revelation to know God better. Participants are asked to pray for their hearts to be enlightened and transformed into Christ's heart. They should monitor what comes out of their mouths, expose impurities to God, and develop a plan to eliminate sources of impurity. The challenge also involves monitoring one's heart attitude to see how merciful they are, based on a lesson about being blessed when showing mercy as God has shown mercy to us.
Joyce Meyer Ministries provides a teaching note on patient endurance. The document discusses how patience leads to joy and true life through suffering, while impatience causes people to avoid discomfort and never fully develop. It contrasts the patient Moses with the impatient Esau. Impatience is said to cause stress, sickness, works of the flesh like strife and control, and missing out on inheritances. To cultivate patience, one must be willing to endure trials from God, affliction, doing good works, and bearing fruit with patience. Practicing patience perfects character and allows one to not be controlled by people or circumstances.

The document discusses how patience leads to joy and true life through suffering, while impatience causes people to avoid discomfort and never fully develop. It contrasts the patient Moses with the impatient Esau. Impatience is said to cause stress, sickness, works of the flesh like strife and control, and missing out on inheritances. To exercise patience, one must endure trials, chastisement, affliction, well-doing, and fruit-bearing. Patience is a fruit of the spirit that grows through trial and perfects Christian character.
God's divine, unmerited favor or grace is shown through:
1) Christ's redemptive work on the cross that saves undeserving sinners.
2) God's mercy, compassion, and forgiveness that are not based on human works or merit.
3) God's empowering and sustaining presence that strengthens believers and upholds them.

makrothumia
mak-roth-oo-mee'-ah
From the same as G3116; longanimity, that is,
(objectively) forbearance or (subjectively) fortitude:
- longsuffering, patience.
LONGANIMITY: noun. Calmness in the face of suffering and
adversity; forbearance. Origin of longanimity. Middle
English longanimite, from Old French, from Late Latin
longanimitas, from longanimis, patient : Latin longus, long;
see longitude + Latin animus, soul, mind, reason
31. LONGSUFFERING
Forbearance: noun, patient self-control; restraint and
tolerance
Fortitude: courage in pain or adversity.
synonyms: courage, bravery, strength of mind,
strength of character, moral strength, toughness of
spirit, firmness of purpose, strong-mindedness,
resilience, backbone, spine, mettle, spirit, nerve,
pluck, pluckiness, doughtiness, fearlessness, valour,
intrepidity, stout-heartedness, endurance
32. WEBSTER’s 1828
FORBEARANCE, n.
1. The act of avoiding, shunning or omitting; either the
cessation or intermission of an act commenced, or a
withholding from beginning an act. Liberty is the power of
doing or forbearing an action, according as the doing or
forbearance has a preference in the mind. The forbearance
of sin is followed with satisfaction of mind.
2. Command of temper; restraint of passions.
3. The exercise of patience; long suffering; indulgence
towards those who injure us; lenity; delay of resentment or
punishment.
Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and
forbearance, and long suffering? Rom 2.
33. WEBSTER’s 1828
FOR'TITUDE, n. [L. fortitudo, from fortis, strong.]
That strength or firmness of mind or soul which enables a
person to encounter danger with coolness and courage, or
to bear pain or adversity without murmuring, depression or
despondency. Fortitude is the basis or source of genuine
courage or intrepidity in danger, of patience in suffering, of
forbearance under injuries, and of magnanimity in all
conditions of life. We sometimes confound the effect with
the cause, and use fortitude as synonymous with courage
or patience; but courage is an active virtue or vice, and
patience is the effect of fortitude.
Fortitude is the guard and support of the other virtues.

G5544 otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
39. WEBSTER’S 1828
BENEF'ICENCE, n. [L.beneficentia, from the participle
of benefacio.] The practice of doing good; active
goodness, kindness, or charity.
UCSF SCHOOL OF MEDICINE

am base among you, but being absent am bold
toward you
Tit 3:2 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but
gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.

• Egkrateia is the ability to hold yourself back even though
your flesh wants to do something that does not pertain to
moral excellence such as getting involved in a fight, or

• By ourselves we cannot do this but by the Spirit of GOD that
indwells us, we can do ALL THINGS through Christ who gives
us the ability or strength.
• Luke 21:19 “In your patience possess ye your souls”. This
means we have the ability to do so.

• Heb 3:1 KJV Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of
the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and
High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
• Your profession is super important
• Your faith is connected to what you say or profess
10-May-16LRF 3RD DAY OF WEEK TRAINING SEMINAR 45
46. FAITH
Rom 10:6-9 KJV
(6) But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this
wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven?
(that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
(7) Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring
up Christ again from the dead.)
(8) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy
mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we
preach;
(9) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him
from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10-May-16LRF 3RD DAY OF WEEK TRAINING SEMINAR 46
47. • The same way we professed belief in Him and we
got saved (soteria) via our High Priest
• When we profess a good marriage, deliverance
from evil, the profession (our Word of Faith) is
superintended over by the High Priest who brings it
to pass. He is the Word that created ALL things
• The moment a believer is born again, he is dealt
freely by GOD the measure of faith (Rom 12:3).
• You must however cultivate this faith and add other
VALUES to it.
10-May-16LRF 3RD DAY OF WEEK TRAINING SEMINAR 47
48. 9. LOVE
• Agapē is GOD and GOD is agapē. GOD does not
possess love. He is Love (1 John 4:8).
• Agapē unlike Philadelphia is un-conditional. We
may start out loving people conditionally but we are
to grow to love them unconditionally—from
philadelphia to AGAPE
• Can ONLY be experienced by those who have
been initiated i.e. born again and filled with and
continue to be filled with the Holy Spirit.

2. Heb 12:4-12
10-May-16LRF 3RD DAY OF WEEK TRAINING SEMINAR 49
51. 1Co 13:4-8 AMP
(4) Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils
over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily.
(5) It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude
(unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God's love in us) does not
insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or
fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention
to a suffered wrong].
(6) It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right
and truth prevail.
(7) Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to
believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances,
and it endures everything [without weakening].
(8) Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end].
As for prophecy (the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose), it will be
fulfilled and pass away; as for tongues, they will be destroyed and cease; as for
knowledge, it will pass away [it will lose its value and be superseded by truth].

said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho,
and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment,
and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
(31) And by chance there came down a certain priest that
way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
(32) And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came
and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. (33)
But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he
was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, (34)
And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil
and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to
an inn, and took care of him. (35) And on the morrow when
he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the
host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever
thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
(36) Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour
unto him that fell among the thieves?
57. Heb 12:4-9 AMP EXPRESSION OF AGAPE
(5) …My son, do not think lightly or scorn to submit to the correction and
discipline of the Lord, nor lose courage and give up and faint when you are
reproved or corrected by Him;
(6) For the Lord corrects and disciplines everyone whom He loves, and He
punishes, even scourges, every son whom He accepts and welcomes to His
heart and cherishes.
(7) You must submit to and endure [correction] for discipline; God is dealing with
you as with sons. For what son is there whom his father does not [thus] train and
correct and discipline?
(8) Now if you are exempt from correction and left without discipline in which all
[of God's children] share, then you are ILLEGITIMATE OFFSPRING and not true sons
[at all]. [Prov. 3:11, 12.]
(9) Moreover, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we yielded
[to them] and respected [them for training us]. Shall we not much more
cheerfully submit to the Father of spirits and so [truly] live? 10-May-16LRF 3RD DAY OF WEEK TRAINING SEMINAR 57
58. Heb 12:4-12 EXPRESSION OF AGAPE
• Because of fallen nature, man is crooked (iniquity)
but God is straight (upright).

have not known: I will make darkness light before
them, and crooked things straight. These things will I
do unto them, and not forsake them.
Ecc 7:29 KJV Lo, this only have I found, that God
hath made man upright; but they have sought out
many inventions.

69. QUESTION FROM LAST WEEK
Agape is one of the values/fruit. Husbands are
instructed to agape their wives. You said agape
entails the gracious kindness and also severity of
GOD. God corrects and disciplines those he loves.
HOW and WHEN can a man correct or discipline his
wife that he loves?
70. ANSWER
• For all questions on family, marriage, career,
education etc. the original pattern is already in
scripture so when in doubt just see what scripture
says. Its profitable for instruction
• Put differently, GOD word shows us how to live!
Simply follow it
• Today’s question: The pattern for marriage is also in
the scriptures
• The pattern for marriage in scripture is Jesus & His
Bride
71. • Husbands must follow the pattern of Jesus as the true
husband (Eph 5:25)
• Wives must follow the pattern of Jesus’ bride—the
church as the true wife (Eph 5:22)
• All human marriages must follow this divine pattern—
enough with the excuses
• Does Jesus the true husband correct, discipline his
bride?
• If yes, then earthly husbands must follow the pattern
• HOW does Jesus do it?
72. HOW
• Jesus does it through various means—but especially
through the holy scriptures
• 2 Tim 3:16 NIV All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful
for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in
righteousness
• This is where the first family Adam and Eve failed
• It is where the last family, Jesus & His church will succeed
• The first Adam knew the instruction from GOD but did not
use it to CORRECT his wife Eve when she listened to the
lie of the serpent
• Husbands must teach their wives/brides & children the
Word and use it to correct IF there is ever a deviation
from the Word.
73. Eph 5:25-28 KJV
(25) Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also
loved the church, and gave himself for it;
(26) That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the
washing of water by the word,
(27) That he might present it to himself a glorious
church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing;
but that it should be holy and without blemish.
(28) So ought men to love their wives as their own
bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
74. • It is the divine duty of a husband to LOVE his wife
by making her holy, cleansing her by the washing
with water through the word b4 and after marriage
ceremony
• This of course means a husband must first be in
tune with GOD and be following God himself
• GOD’s love differs from Hollywood love because its
aim is to make us more like Him—perfect.
75. How ought men to love their wives?
1. As even as Christ also loved the church, and
gave himself for it
2. Part of this includes sanctifying and cleansing the
bride with the washing of water by the word
(correction & discipline)
v.27 tells us there is no perfect wife. Her perfection is
the job of the husband—i.e. without spot or wrinkle
76. But WHY correct the wife or children if they deviate from GOD?
• Gen 3:9 KJV And the LORD God called unto Adam, and
said unto him, Where art thou?
• Why did GOD not call out to Eve?
• Answer is he did not leave Eve in charge?
• The head must always give account. This is same in your
dept at work
• Same principle applies with government of nations,
churches, families and our individual lives
• Husbands are accountable to GOD for whatever
happens in their garden (families). They must thus lead in
a re-sponsor-able manner as ones who will give account
to their sponsor i.e. GOD the Father
