This document discusses what our deepest prayer in life should be based on passages from the Bible. It examines prayers from Paul, Ephesians and Colossians that focus on growing closer to God through wisdom, knowledge and understanding his will. The Lord's Prayer is presented as containing prayers for eternity and everyday needs. It should focus on God, his name, kingdom and will rather than being self-centered. We are called to pray for God's reign, fruitfulness for his kingdom, and discernment of his will.
Do you look like your parents? For me, some may say I really look like my dad. He just smiles more often and I don’t. Hehe. It’s just amazing to see how a child can really resemble his or her father or mother. We have a resemblance to our earthly parents no matter who big or small it may be. But we should also consider our resemblance to our heavenly Father. We will learn a lot about this as we study 1 John chapter 3.
Abram’s faith was demonstrated as he looked forward to the city Jehovah promised, knowing it was really a heavenly city. We must daily think of heaven too. This lesson provides six daily reminders of heaven: Real, Depend, Enduring, Effort, Rejoicing, Refuge. Ideas of this lesson based on “Daily Thoughts of Heaven” by Glenn E. Frasier Jr. from Practical Christianity: Daily Christian Living (c) 1998 Shenandoah Church of Christ, p. 184 - 196.
Fear is common to all. We all fear something. Some fear is God given. Children come into this world with a fear of heights and of loud noises. Some fears are there to protect us from physical harm: snakes, darkness, suffocation, being burned, death, etc. In christians, most fear is a tool of satan

John 3:16 is the most quoted and most remembered scripture from the bible.
Did you know that there are a number of other 3:16 verses that relate to and are very important to our spiritual lives and our living for Jesus?
Tonight we are going to look at some of those 3:16 scriptures.
True Christianity will always be aggressive, and wherever it exists, it will arouse enmity. All who live a conscientious life, who bear testimony of the claims of God, of the evil of sin, of the judgment to come, will be called the disturbers of Israel. {PC 146.2}
If we will consent to lay down our arms, to lower the blood-stained banner, to become the captives and servants of Satan, we may be released from the conflict and the suffering. But this peace will be gained only at the loss of Christ and heaven. We cannot accept peace on such conditions. Let it be war, war, to the end of earth's history, rather than peace through apostasy and sin.
If unity could be secured only by the compromise of truth and righteousness, then let there be difference, and even war. {GC88 45.2}
Those who in harmony with God, and through faith in Him, receive strength to resist wrong, and stand in defense of the right, will always have severe conflicts and will frequently have to stand almost alone. But precious victories will be theirs while they make God their dependence. Their moral sense will be keen, clear, and sensitive. Their moral powers will be equal to withstand wrong influences. Their integrity, like that of Moses, of the purest character.

In this inspiring message we study how to live a life of faith by understanding some of the key foundations of faith and how faith brings transformation to our lives so we live as conquerors and overcomers.
Everyone who would be saved from sin and from hell, and would go to Heaven when we die, must place all our faith in Jesus, as God's Son, the Chosen One who would die for the sins of men, and be raised from the dead in the Power of God.

1) What is the work done by faith? What is the connection between faith and work? Why do we have to suffer even if we have love? We wait patiently for Jesus Christ and what are we waiting for? 1 Thess. 1:3 2) Paul mentioned not to 1) please people, just please God, but also 2) to believers as mothers raising children, and as fathers comforting children, how can the two balance the two? -11 3) Why do tribulations shake people, how to increase their love, and what is the relationship between love and knowledge? 1 Thess. 3-12 4) What are the people who have fallen asleep in Jesus, and where were these people when they were alive? How do you know that you are in Christ? Thess. 4:7-14 5), because God does not predetermine us to be tortured, but predestined us to be saved through our Lord Jesus Christ, what is through, 1 Thessalonians 5:8-10 6) Always be joyful, pray unceasingly, give thanks in everything, which is the easiest thing for you to do. What are the common factors for these three commands? 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 7) Whether those who don’t know God and those who don’t obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus are synonymous, the result is eternal perish. Where did they go? 2 Thess. 1:6-9 8) Make all those who do not believe in the truth but love unrighteousness be condemned. Isn’t God love? Why is he so strict with such people?

NIV Daniel 2:14-23
When Arioch, the commander of the king's guard, had gone out to put to death the wise men of Babylon, Daniel spoke to him with wisdom and tact. 15 He asked the king's officer, "Why did the king issue such a harsh decree?" Arioch then explained the matter to Daniel. 16 At this, Daniel went in to the king and asked for time, so that he might interpret the dream for him.
17 ¶ Then Daniel returned to his house and explained the matter to his friends Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah. 18 He urged them to plead for mercy from the God of heaven concerning this mystery, so that he and his friends might not be executed with the rest of the wise men of Babylon. 19 During the night the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of heaven 20 and said: "Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever; wisdom and power are his. 21 He changes times and seasons; he sets up kings and deposes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. 22 He reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with him. 23 I thank and praise you, O God of my fathers: You have given me wisdom and power, you have made known to me what we asked of you, you have made known to us the dream of the king."

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

I pray that your love will overflow more
and more, and that you will keep on
growing
in
knowledge
and
understanding. For I want you to
understand what really matters, so that
you may live pure and blameless lives

you might grow in your knowledge of God. I
pray that your hearts will be flooded with light
so that you can understand the confident
hope he has given to those he called-his holy
people who are his rich and glorious
inheritance. I also pray that you will
understand the incredible greatness of God's
power for us who believe him. This is the
same mighty power that raised Christ from the
dead and seated him in the place of honor at
God's right hand in the heavenly realms. Now
he is far above any ruler or authority or power
or leader or anything else-not only in this
world but also in the world to come.
4. Ephesians 3:14-19
When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and
pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in
heaven and on earth. I pray that from his
glorious, unlimited resources he will empower
you with inner strength through his Spirit.
Then Christ will make his home in your hearts
as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down
into God's love and keep you strong. And may
you have the power to understand, as all
God's people should, how wide, how long,
how high, and how deep his love is. May you
experience the love of Christ, though it is too
great to understand fully. Then you will be
made complete with all the fullness of life and
power that comes from God.
5. Colossians 1:9-12
So we have not stopped praying for you since
we first heard about you. We ask God to give

you spiritual wisdom and understanding. Then
the way you live will always honor and please
the Lord, and your lives will produce every kind
of good fruit. All the while, you will grow as you
learn to know God better and better. We also
pray that you will be strengthened with all his
glorious power so you will have all the
endurance and patience you need. May you be
filled with joy, always thanking the Father. He
has enabled you to share in the inheritance that
belongs to his people, who live in the light.
6. Matthew 6:5-13
v.5 "And when you pray, do not be like

you the truth, they have received their
reward in full.

room, close the door and pray to your
Father, who is unseen. Then your
Father, who sees what is done in
secret, will reward you.

him.

"`Our Father in heaven, hallowed be
your name,

for you, which is good and pleasing
and perfect.
25. Ephesians 5:15-17 (NIV)
v.15Be very careful, then, how you
live--not as unwise but as wise,
v.16making the most of every
opportunity, because the days are
evil.
v.17Therefore do not be foolish, but
understand what the Lord's will is.
26. 1 John 2:15-17 (NIV)
v.15 Do not love the world or anything in
the world. If anyone loves the world,
the love of the Father is not in him.
v.16 For everything in the world--the
cravings of sinful man, the lust of his
eyes and the boasting of what he has
and does--comes not from the Father
but from the world.
v.17 The world and its desires pass
away, but the man who does the will of
God lives forever.
27. 1 John 2:15-17 (MSG)
v.15 Don't love the world's ways. Don't
love the world's goods. Love of the
world squeezes out love for the Father.
v.16 Practically everything that goes on
in the world--wanting your own way,
wanting everything for yourself,
wanting to appear important--has
nothing to do with the Father. It just
isolates you from him.
v.17 The world and all its wanting,
wanting, wanting is on the way out--but
whoever does what God wants is set
for eternity.
28. Conclusion
• God made us to be a part of
hollowing His Name, extending His
Kingdom and seeing His will done
on earth the way the Angels do it in
Heaven.
29. Psalm 37:4 (NIV)
Delight yourself in the LORD and he
will give you the desires of your heart.
• Delighting in the Lord by Hollowing His
name, seeking His Kingdom and doing
His will transforms all the natural
desires into God’ desires.
• Pray like a Mature Christian the
deepest cry of your heart should be the
Lord Jesus Christ, His supremacy and
centrality.
