ALL FOR HIS GLORY!

If you do not have a Bible.
https://www.bible.com/
provides a free downloadable Bible in multiple versions and languages.
I
use
Bible
Gateway
to
read
and
research
the
Bible:
https://www.biblegateway.com/
Bible
Gateway
offers
different
versions and different languages. My personal preference is the New King James Version.
My
favorite
Bible
teacher
is
Chuck
Smith.
Chuck
left
his
physical
body
to
be
with
the
Lord
in
2013.
Fortunately
his
Bible
teachings
from
Genesis
to
Revelation
(word-by-word,
verse-by-verse)
were
recorded
and
may
be
heard
on
the
following website:

I
suggest
starting
with
the
study
of
1
John.
You
will
likely
need
to
download
the

The Mystery of God’s Heart
This
Bible
study
is
intended
for
those
who
are
searching
for
God.
The
purpose
of
the
lesson
is
to
learn
more
about
God
by
exploring
the
mystery
of
His
heart,
and
to change our perception of who He is.
God’s love is a mystery because man misinterprets His intentions.
Spiritual Servanthood
Throughout
His
ministry
Jesus
demonstrated
and
taught
spiritual
truths
to
all
who
listened.
However,
there
is
one
spiritual
truth
He
revealed
directly
to
His
disciples:
servanthood.
This
lesson
is
intended
for
Christians
who
are
seeking
a
deeper
walk
with
Jesus
by
exploring
the
spiritual
definition
of
what
it
means
to
be
a servant.
Heavenly Crowns
Even
if
we
do
all
the
right
things—but
have
the
wrong
intent—what
we
accomplish
will
not
be
spiritually
recognized
and
rewarded.
However,
when
we
do
even
the
smallest
of
charitable
deeds—with
the
right
intent—it
will
be
recognized
and
rewarded by the only One who really matters.
This
lesson
reveals
the
importance
of
taking
time
to
consider
and
evaluate
the
intent of our heart in we do for Jesus.
Signs The Holy Spirit Is Transformaing Us From Within
Sanctification
is
spiritually
defined
as
a
transformational
process
of
being
freed
from
sin,
made
holy,
being
set
apart
(from
the
world)
for
God’s
special
use
and
purpose.
However,
it
is
impossible
for
us
to
do
this
on
our
own,
and
requires
spiritual
intervention
by
the
Holy
Spirit
to
transform
a
willing
heart.
As
such,
this
lesson is about signs we can look for that reveal the workings of the Holy Spirit.
The Beatitudes: Indicators and Blessings of Spiritual Transformation
Jesus
Christ
provided
us
with
indicators
of
spiritual
transformation
and
sanctification—including
the
associated
blessings
(referred
to
as
the
Beatitudes)—during
His
Sermon
on
the
Mount.
This
study
explains
the
spiritual
meaning
of
each
Beatitude,
and
how
each
Beatitude
is
an
indicator
of
our
spiritual
transformation
as
we
are
changed
from
within
to
reflect
our
Savior
and
Lord.
Who Killed Jesus Christ?
Some
say
Jews
killed
Jesus.
Others
think
it
was
the
Romans.
A
few
think
Satan
manipulated
events
to
kill
Jesus.
Although
there
are
excellent
arguments
to
support
each
belief,
these
perceptions
can
greatly
benefit
from
enhanced
spiritual understanding.
The
answer
to
this
question
will
touch
your
heart,
and
the
truth
will
enlighten
your
soul.
For
His
punishment
and
death
was
one
of
the
most
painful
means
of
execution ever devised by man.
Spiritual Attributes God Designed Within Us
God
designed
humans
with
unique
spiritual
attributes
(innate
qualities,
characteristics,
traits,
etc.)
that
are
unique
to
all
animal
species.
This
lesson
will
enhance
your
spiritual
understanding
of
the
intent
of
God’s
design,
His
desire
for
each of us, and how these attributes influence who we are and what we do.
Satan’s Lies
Every
war,
every
battle,
every
skirmish,
every
murder,
every
argument,
every
sin,
and
every
caustic
word
spoken—began
as
a
lie
and
culminated
in
spiritual
death
(separation
from
God)
and/or
physical
death—because
this
is
the
intent
of
Satan’s
lies.
For
those
who
are
able
to
spiritually
see,
what
we
are
witnessing
in
the
world
today
are
the
consequences
of
lies—which
are
propagated
by
Satan
and
his
minions
(fallen
angels
and
demons).
This
study
will enhanc
e your spiritual awareness, and is a must read for all Christians.
Judgment vs. Spiritual Discernment
This
lesson
explores
our
propensity
to
judge
others
via
our
flesh
(including
the
negative
consequences).
It
also
provides
a
means
for
self-analysis;
and
explains
how we can seek Holy-Spirit directed discernment.
Worthy
There
is
a
significant
difference
between
what
humans
define
as
worthy,
and
the
spiritual
definition
of
worthy—because
one
is
based
upon
lies,
and
the
other
is
based
upon
truth.
By
fully
exploring
the
different
facets
of
the
word
“worthy,”
we
will
gain
a
unique
insight
into
the
various
subliminal
influences
of
human-defined
worthiness
in
our
lives,
have
a
greater
understanding
why
we
sometimes
do
what
we do—and most important, it will create a greater appreciation of our salvation.
Living Water
Jesus
said,
"He
who
believes
in
Me,
as
the
scripture
has
said,
out
of
his
heart
will
flow
rivers
of
living
water."
(John
7:38)
This
video
explains
and
depicts
how
this spiritual transformation occurs within our heart and soul.
Treasures in Heaven
This
writing
is
intended
for
Christians
who
are
serving
Jesus
Christ
as
Savior
and
Lord
(in
any
capacity
and
via
any
means).
The
purpose
of
this
writing
is
to
reveal
the
intentions
of
our
heart,
the
reasons
why
we
serve,
and
those
aspects
of
our
daily walk that may be improved.
How to Lead a Bible Study
This
lesson
is
intended
for
those
who
have
a
desire
to
lead
a
Bible
study,
and
for
those who desire to improve their skills in leading Bible studies.
When
the
flesh
steps
aside—and
an
open
humble
heart
yields
to
the
guidance
of
the
Holy
Spirit—is
when
a
Bible
teacher
will
see
the
power
of
God’s
word
in
action.
What’s
more,
this
experience
is
an
indescribable
blessing
when
we
are
empowered
to
explain
God’s
Word
and
how
it
relates
to
the
hearer’s
heart,
walk,
life, and eternity.
How to Share the Gospel.
There
is
an
indescribable
feeling
and
joy
on
the
inside
when
we
are
used
by
the
Holy
Spirit
to
share
the
Gospel—especially
when
we
witness
the
“harvest”
of
someone
who
is
bound
by
sin
discover
the
power
of
God’s
grace
and
love,
and
are radically changed.
This
lesson
provides
guidance
in
how
to
Share
the
Gospel
of
Jesus
Christ,
what
to
do
and
not
do,
describes
the
concept
of
planting
seeds,
how
to
respond
to
objections, and much more.
21
Signs
of
the
Last
Days
is
an
easy-to-read
and
easy-to-understand
consolidation
of
last
day
signs
prophesied
in
the
Bible.
Each
sign
is
supported
by
(1)
biblical
scripture,
(2)
referenced
non-biased
sources,
and
(3)
analysis
of
ongoing volatile changes that are occurring globally.
The Covenant
(The beginning of the end.)
One
of
the
most
important
indicators
of
the
end
times
is
found
in
Daniel
9:27—because
it
defines
the
event
that
will
initiate
the
Tribulation
and
the
last
7
years.
As
such,
every
person
on
earth
should
know
this
scripture
and
actively
watch for the fulfillment of this prophecy.
The Great Tribulation and the Sovereignty of Israel
When
Jesus
returns
and
destroys
Israel’s
enemies
is
when
Israel
will
realize
Jesus
is
the
Messiah,
and
will
worship
Him
as
Lord.
However,
to
open
the
eyes,
influence
the
minds,
and
change
the
hearts
of
the
Israelites
towards
Jesus
Christ
will
require
a
series
of
unprecedented
events
that
will
culminate
in
the
destruction
of
Israel’s
sovereignty.
Israel’s
demise
is
prophesized
in
the
Bible,
and will occur during the second half of the Tribulation: The Great Tribulation.
Revelation’s
Blessings
is
an
exhaustive
verse-by-verse
in-depth
study
of
the
Book of Revelation.
“Blessed
is
he
who
reads
and
those
who
hear
the
words
of
this
prophecy,
and
keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near.” Revelation 1:3
Angels, Fallen Angels & Demons
The
intent
of
this
writing
is
to
replace
our
conceptual
images
of
angels,
fallen
angels
and
demons
with
definitive
scripture-based
information
that
supports
a
more accurate, deeper and broader understanding of spiritual beings.
God
designed
our
minds
with
an
ability
to
store
and
retrieve
information
and
experiences
via
our
memory.
Our
dependence
upon
this
function
is
much
more
important
than
we
realize.
Simply
stated,
it
is
required
for
human
existence…like
breathing.
When
you
think
about
it,
we
utilize
our
memory
continuously
moment-
by-moment.
In
addition,
our
memory
is
a
foundational
component
of
our
ability
to
learn, and facilitates decision making.
Memories
provides
a
scripture-based
answer
to
the
following
question:
Do
our
memories go with us when we die?
Is Jesus Christ is the Messiah?
Each
person
must
decide:
Is
Jesus
Christ
the
Son
of
God,
the
Messiah,
the
Anointed
One,
and
Lord—or
not?
Making
a
choice
is
not
an
option;
it
was
not
His
intent; and each person’s decision has eternal consequences.
3 Types of Death 1 Source of Life
This
Bible
study
provides
scriptural
evidence
there
are
three
types
of
death:
spiritual,
physical
and
2nd
death.
Those
who
are
born
again
will
only
experience
the first two. Those who are not born again will experience all three.
This study should be completed prior to reading “What is a Born-Again Christian.”
What is a Born-Again Christian?
This
Bible
study
explains
why
we
cannot
earn
our
way
to
Heaven;
expands
biblical
understanding
of
what
it
means
to
be
born
again;
facilitates
self-
evaluation; and enhances spiritual growth and maturity in Christ.
Note:
You
should
read
“3
Types
of
Death
1
Source
of
Life”
before
reading
“What
is
a
Born-Again
Christian.”
“3
Types
of
Death
1
Source
of
Life”
provides
a
“broader
foundation”
for
understanding
spiritual
death
and
why
we
need
to
be
born again.
Foundation
is
comprised
of
biblically-based
foundational
principles
for
Christian
living.
But
more
important,
Foundation
provides
the
groundwork
for
an
eternal
life
in
Heaven.
It
is
written
in
a
manner
that
is
engaging
and
appropriate
for
all
persons, including those who do not know Jesus Christ.
“I
Am
the
Way,
the
Truth
and
the
Life.
No
one
comes
to
the
Father
except
through Me.”
John
14:6
is
one
of
the
most
important,
powerful
and
thought-provoking
declarations
Jesus
Christ
made.
But
what’s
more,
He
drew
a
spiritual
and
eternal
“line
in
the
sand”
that
separated
Himself
from
all
other
attempts
by
man
to
reach
God.
This
Bible
study
explores
His
proclamation
because
it
defines
His
spiritual
role between each of us and our Holy God
Truths Declared by Jesus Christ
All
of
mankind
should
know
and
understand
the
words
spoken
by
Jesus
Christ—because
His
declarations
were
comprised
of
spiritual
truths
that
changes lives.
8 Steps to Spiritual Maturity
This lesson is intended for those who:
Would like to learn more about Jesus Christ.
Are born again.
Desire spiritual growth in Christ.
Seek a greater understanding of themselves.
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they shall be filled.” Matthew 5:6
Trust
Trust
explains
the
interdependence
and
synergism
between
four
unique
spiritual
attributes
that
separate
humans
from
all
other
living
forms
on
earth:
hope,
belief,
faith—and
most
important—trust.
Trust
is
the
greatest
of
the
four
attributes
we
can
give
and
receive.
But
what’s
more,
trust
is
the
bond
that
enables
deep
and
meaningful relationships.
Body,
Soul,
Heart
and
Spirit
is
written
for
those
who
are
struggling
with
their
sinful
flesh;
for
those
who
are
tired
of
the
darkness,
and
bondage,
and
pain;
and
for
those
who desire a behavioral transformation from within.
Gaining
victory
over
the
flesh
is
facilitated
by
understanding
the
distinct
functions
of
the
body,
soul,
heart,
and
spirit;
by
gaining
insight
into
the
clandestine
works
of
the
flesh; and by a resolute heart.
God’s Grace and the Hardened Heart
This
lesson
explains
the
functions,
characteristics,
and
consequences
of
two
opposing
conditions
of
our
heart
described
in
the
Bible:
one
is
a
hardened
heart,
the
other
is
a
broken
and
contrite
heart.
The
intent
is
to
illuminate
the
importance
of
being
aware
of
the
spiritual
condition
of
your
heart;
to
recognize
why
we
(and
others)
do
what
we
do;
and
to
witness
the
transformational
influence
of
God’s
grace upon a hardened heart.
“Keep
your
heart
with
all
diligence,
for
out
of
it
spring
the
issues
of
life.”
Proverbs
4:23
The Power of Forgiveness
Forgiveness
is
more
powerful
than
we
realize.
However,
forgiveness
can
be
difficult
because
the
scars
in
our
heart
and
soul
can
be
deep
and
calloused.
This
writing
explains
the
multiple
benefits
of
forgiveness—and
the
numerous
consequences
of
holding
onto
unforgiveness.
When
forgiveness
is
based
upon
a
sincere
heart
and
bolstered
by
the
Holy
Spirit,
it
will
break
the
chains
that
bind
you,
as
it
melts
away
the
inappropriate
thoughts,
undesirable
emotions
and
harmful physical responses.
Free
Will
God
gave
each
of
us
the
right
to
make
personal
decisions
that
directly
impact
our
lives;
including
what
we
do,
what
we
say,
what
we
consume,
what
we
believe,
and
so
forth.
This
study
provides
insight
into
how
we
make
decisions;
reveals
reasons
for
past
decision
mistakes;
discusses
how
to
make
decisions
in
the
future;
and
identifies
the ultimate consequences for our decisions.
A free downloadable Decision Assistance Tool is also provided.
6 Stages of Temptation
This
is
intended
for
Christian
men—all
males
in
their
early
teens
to
their
late
years
in
life
who
struggle
against
the
flesh—especially
sexual
lust.
It
is
also
appropriate
for
women
in
that
it
will
help
in
understanding
what
men
go
through.
But
what’s
more,
this
writing
is
real,
raw
and
revealing
because
it
explores
the
area
where
the
“rubber
meets
the
road,”
and
where
men’s
faith
interacts
with
inappropriate thoughts and behavior.
Emotions
Negative
emotions
of
anger,
fear,
anxiety,
and
sadness
will
occur
more
often
as
we
digress
into
the
last
days.
This
study
will
assist
in
identification,
management
and minimization of the affects of negative emotions.
Temptations, Trials and Tribulations
The
Bible
describes
three
different
types
of
challenges
in
life
a
Christian
may
experience:
temptations,
trials
and
tribulations.
All
Christians
experience
temptations
and
trials,
and
a
growing
percentage
of
Christians
are
experiencing
tribulations
in
various
parts
of
the
world.
Unfortunately,
some
do
not
clearly
understand
the
difference
between
a
temptation,
trial
and
tribulation.
As
such,
the
objective
of
this
Bible
study
is
to
define
each
from
a
biblical
perspective,
compare
and
contrast
the
differences, and provide spiritual insight into how to persevere.
It’s not about me.
Self-centeredness
is
an
undesirable
component
of
our
human
nature.
“Me”
is
a
fundamental
source
of
human
motivation;
a
subliminal
influencer
of
what
we
think,
do
and
say;
responsible
for
many
of
life’s
challenges;
and
a
source
for
instability in the world today.
For
those
who
seek
Jesus
Christ…this
lesson
explains
how
we
can
become
more
like Him…and less like “me.”
Pride
Our
pride
is
a
“slippery
slope”
in
that
it
provides
a
deceitful
feeling
of
pleasure
derived
from
perceived
wisdom,
strengths
(attributes),
and/or
wealth
(possessions).
This
study
will
assist
in
the
realization
(and
heart’s
transformation)
in
that
only
Jesus
Christ
is
worthy
of
glory
because
of
what
He
has done for us.
Backsliding
This
insightful
lesson
is
for
all
born-again
Christians
who
have
decided
to
walk
away
from
their
faith
in
Jesus
Christ;
those
who
have
inadvertently
lost
their
way
and
returned
to
their
previous
life
in
sin;
and
those
who
have
a
burden
for
a
backslidden Christian who needs help.
God’s 8 Covenants
It
is
prudent
to
not
place
your
trust
in
man’s
word,
and
to
carefully
approach
promises
with
skepticism
until
proven
otherwise.
However,
from
a
spiritual
perspective,
God’s
promises
(or
covenants)
are
absolute
and
trustworthy.
In
addition,
the
fulfillment
of
His
covenant
promises
has
occurred—and
will
occur—as
He
has
declared.
This
lesson
is
based
upon
the
past
and
present
covenants
made
by
God
so
that
we
may
spiritually
see:
(1)
how
He
will
fulfill
His
remaining
promises
through
His
Son,
Jesus
Christ;
(2)
into
His
heart,
and
(3)
His
desires for each of us.
Rapture
A
biblical
event
will
occur
in
the
future
that
will
have
an
unimaginable
impact
upon
earth—for
many
will
disappear
in
an
instant
of
time.
Most
of
those
who
remain
will
be
in
shock,
many
will
experience
fear,
and
some
will
also
mourn
because
of
who
they lost, and because of the grave challenges that are before them.
There
are
three
absolutes
in
the
Bible
regarding
this
event
known
as
the
rapture:
it
will
occur
when
no
one
expects;
it
will
occur
in
the
twinkling
of
an
eye;
and
no
one
knows when but God.
This
short
lesson
is
about
the
four
most
common
beliefs
as
to
when
it
will
occur,
and
is
relevant
for
every
living
person
as
we
continually
move
towards
(and
get
closer to) the last days.
Satan’s Prison
There
is
a
reason
and
source
for
all
of
the
chaos
in
our
world.
It
is
caused
by
a
delusional
and
influential
angelic
being—who
led
a
heavenly
insurrection
to
overthrow
God
and
take
His
throne—failed,
and
was
cast
to
earth
as
a
punishment
for
his
crime.
As
such,
many
are
not
aware
that
we
are
living
within
Satan’s
prison—as
he
seeks
to
destroy
as
many
as
possible
while
he
waits
for
his
final demise.
Unimaginable Darkness
Christians
must
spiritually
prepare
for
unimaginable
darkness
as
the
ability
of
evil
forces
to
influence
and
manipulate
darkened
human
minds
via
delusional
lies
will
increase
as
we
enter
into
the
last
days.
The
global
influence
of
evil
will
magnify
beyond
logical
comprehension
as
new
boundaries
of
inconceivable
behavior
are
broken.
That
which
seems
shocking
today
will
become
commonplace
as
Satan—the
abomination
who
causes
desolation—is
granted
increased
power
to
deceive and destroy.
Spiritual Warfare
We
have
been
purchased
by
the
blood
of
the
Lamb
and
are
God’s
property.
As
such,
God
has
provided
us
with
powerful
strongholds
to
use
when
we
engage
in
spiritual
warfare.
The
objective
of
this
lesson
is
for
Christians
to
recognize
and
use what God has given us to become victorious.
Prayer
Prayer
(or
communicating
with
God)
is
a
critical
component
of
spiritual
life.
However,
many
Christians
are
not
aware
of
the
various
aspects
of
effective
prayer.
This
“foundational”
lesson
discusses
the
who,
what,
when,
where
and
why prayer is important for all believers.
“Be
anxious
for
nothing,
but
in
everything
by
prayer
and
supplication,
with
thanksgiving,
let
your
requests
be
made
known
to
God;
and
the
peace
of
God,
which
surpasses
all
understanding,
will
guard
your
hearts
and
minds
through
Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7
What is the Spiritual Status of Your Soul?
Each
of
us
has
a
soul
that
lives
within
our
physical
bodies.
Our
soul
is
where
our
mental
activities
originate.
Our
soul
includes
our
spiritual
heart.
Our
soul
is
where
our
memories
are
stored.
Our
soul
is
where
our
faith
dwells.
Our
soul
is
where
our
sinful
nature
resides.
Our
soul
is
where
our
conscience
is
located.
Our
soul
is
the
source
of
our
wide-array
of
emotions.
Our
soul
encompasses
our
spirit.
Our
soul
is
expressed
by
our
personality.
And
each
of
these
components—while
separate—are
mysteriously
integrated
as
one.
But
even
more
important…our
soul
will
never
die
and
will
live
for
eternity
in
either
bliss
or
torment.
The
purpose
of
this
lesson
is
to
facilitate
introspection;
learn
more
about
ourselves;
identify
aspects
of
our
soul
that
are
in
alignment
with
God’s
will,
and
determine
areas
where
our
soul
can
improve
by
becoming
less
like
ourselves
and
more like Jesus—via the lesson content and with the assistance of a self-analysis tool.
Overcoming Anxiety and Fear During the Last Days
As
we
enter
into
the
last
days,
we
will
experience
progressive
degrees
of
anxiety
and
fear
as
the
instability
and
chaos
within
the
world
increases,
as
our
feelings
of
security decreases, and as we grapple with future unknowns.
This
lesson
defines
the
key
difference
between
anxiety
and
fear,
and
describes
different techniques to overcome our anxiety and fear.
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness.” Matthew 5:6
Jesus
declared
those
who
seek
righteousness
are
blessed—because
(1)
this
desire
is
not
normal
to
the
common
person,
and
(2)
it
is
driven
by
the
influence
of
the
Holy
Spirit.
This
lesson
reveals
the
dynamics
that
occurs
when
we
hunger
and
thirst
for
righteousness,
and
explains
the
foundational
requirement
for
attaining righteousness.

My
favorite
Bible
teacher
is
Chuck
Smith.
Chuck
left
his
physical
body
to
be
with
the
Lord
in
2013.
Fortunately
his
Bible
teachings

I
suggest
starting
with
the
study
of
1
John.

Body,
Soul,
Heart
and
Spirit
is
written
for
those
who
are
struggling
with
their
sinful
flesh;
for
those
who
are
tired
of
the
darkness,
and
bondage,
and
pain;
and
for
those
who
desire
a
transformation
from
within.
Gaining
victory
over
the
flesh
is
facilitated
by
understanding
the
distinct
functions
of
the
body,
soul,
heart
and
spirit;
by
gaining
insight
into
the
clandestine
works
of
the flesh; and by a resolute heart.
Satan’s Lies
Every
war,
every
battle,
every
skirmish,
every
murder,
every
argument,
every
sin,
and
every
caustic
word spoken — began as a
lie
and
culminated
in
spiritual
death
(separation
from
God)
and/or
physical
death—because
this
is
the
intent
of
Satan’s
lies.
For
those
who
are
able
to
spiritually
see,
what
we
are
witnessing
in
the
world
today
are
the
consequences
of
lies—which
are
propagated
by
Satan
and his minions (fallen angels and demons).
Spiritual Servanthood
Throughout
His
ministry
Jesus
demonstrated
and
taught
spiritual
truths
to
all
who
listened.
However,
there
is
one
spiritual
truth
He
revealed
directly
to
His
disciples: servanthood.
This
lesson
is
intended
for
Christians
who
are
seeking
a
deeper
walk
with
Jesus
by
exploring
the
spiritual
definition
of what it means to be a servant.
Heavenly Crowns
Even
if
we
do
all
the
right
things
(but
have
the
wrong
intent)
what
we
accomplish
will
not
be
spiritually
recognized
and
rewarded.
However,
when
we
do
even
the
smallest
of
charitable
deeds (with the right intent)
it
will
be
recognized
and
rewarded
by
the
only
One
who
really matters.
This
lesson
reveals
the
importance
of
taking
time
to
consider
and
evaluate
the
intent
of
our
heart
in
we
do
for
Jesus.
8 Steps to Spiritual Maturity
This lesson is for those who:
•
Would
like
to
learn
more
about Jesus Christ.
•
Are born again.
•
Desire spiritual growth.
•
Seek
a
greater
understanding
of themselves.
God’s
Grace
and
the
Hardened
Heart
This
lesson
explains
the
functions,
characteristics,
and
consequences
of
two
opposing
conditions
of
our
heart
described
in
the
Bible:
one
is
a
hardened
heart,
the
other
is
a
broken and contrite heart.
The
intent
is
to
illuminate
the
importance
of
being
aware
of
the
spiritual
condition
of
your
heart;
to
recognize
why
we
(and
others)
do
what
we
do;
and
to
witness
the
transformational
influence
of
God’s
grace
upon
a
hardened heart.
The Power of Forgiveness
When
forgiveness
is
based
upon
a
sincere
heart
and
bolstered
by
the
Holy
Spirit,
it
will
break
the
chains
that
bind
you;
as
it
melts
away
the
inappropriate
thoughts,
undesirable
emotions
and
harmful physical responses.
Free
Will
God
gave
each
of
us
the
right
to
make
personal
decisions
that
directly
impact
our
lives;
including
what
we
do,
what
we
say,
what
we
consume,
what
we
believe,
and
so
forth.
This
study
provides
insight
into
how
we
make
decisions;
reveals
reasons
for
past
decision
mistakes;
discusses
how
to
make
decisions
in
the
future;
and
identifies
the
ultimate
consequences
for
our
decisions.
(
A
Decision
Assistance Tool is also provided!)
This
writing
is
intended
for
Christian
men
who
struggle
against
the
flesh—especially
sexual
lust.
What’s
more,
this
writing
is
real,
raw
and
revealing
because
it
explores
the
area
where
the
“rubber
meets
the
road,”
and
where
men’s
faith
interacts
with
inappropriate
thoughts and behavior.
Negative
emotions
of
anger,
fear,
anxiety,
and
sadness
will
occur
more
often
as
we
enter
into
the
last
days.
This
study
assists
in
identification
and
minimization
of
the
affects of negative emotions.
Temptations,
Trials
and
Tribulations
The
Bible
describes
three
different
types
of
challenges
in
life
a
Christian
may
experience:
temptations,
trials
and
tribulations.
All
Christians
experience
temptations and trials, and a
growing
percentage
of
Christians
are
experiencing
tribulations
in
various
parts
of
the
world.
This
Bible
study
defines
each
from
a
biblical
perspective,
compares
and
contrasts
the
differences,
and
provides
spiritual
insight
into how to persevere.
It’s not about me.
Self-centeredness
is
an
undesirable
component
of
our
human
nature.
“Me”
is
a
fundamental
source
of
human
motivation;
a
subliminal
influencer
of
what
we
think,
do
and
say;
responsible
for
many
of
life’s
challenges;
and
a
source
for
instability in the world today.
For
those
who
seek
Jesus
Christ…this
lesson
explains
how we can become more like Him…and less like “me.”
Pride
Our
pride
is
a
“slippery
slope”
in
that
it
provides
a
deceitful
feeling
of
pleasure
derived
from
perceived
wisdom,
strengths
(attributes),
and/or
wealth (possessions).
This
study
will
assist
in
the
realization
(and
heart’s
transformation)
in
that
only
Jesus
Christ
is
worthy
of
glory because of what He has done for us.
Trust
This
lesson
explains
the
interdependence
and
synergism
between
four
unique
spiritual
attributes
that
separate
us
from
all
other living forms:
hope,
belief,
faith—and
most
important—trust.
Trust
is
the
greatest
of
the
four
attributes
we
can
give
and
receive.
But
what’s
more,
trust
is
the
bond
that
enables
deep and meaningful relationships.
This
insightful
lesson
is
for
all
born-again
Christians
who
have
decided
to
walk
away
from
their
faith
in
Jesus
Christ;
those
who
have
inadvertently
lost
their
way
and
returned
to
their
previous
life
in
sin;
and
those
who
have
a
burden
for
a
backslidden
Christian
who
needs help.
Signs
The
Holy
Spirit
Is
Transforming
Us
From
Within
Sanctification
is
defined
as
a transformational process
of
being
freed
from
sin,
made
holy,
being
set
apart
(from
the
world)
for
God’s
special
use
and
purpose.
However,
it
is
impossible
for
us
to
do
this
on
our
own,
and
requires
spiritual
intervention
by
the
Holy
Spirit
to
transform
a
willing
heart.
As
such,
this
lesson
is
about
signs
we
can
look for that reveal the workings of the Holy Spirit.
The Beatitudes: Indicators
and Blessings of Spiritual
Transformation
Jesus
gave
us
indicators
of
spiritual
transformation
and
sanctification—including
the
blessings
(Beatitudes)
during
His Sermon on the Mount.
This
study
explains
the
spiritual
meaning
of
each
Beatitude,
and
how
each
Beatitude
is
an
indicator
of
our
spiritual
transformation
as
we
are
changed
from
within
to
reflect our Savior and Lord.
The
answer
to
this
question
will
touch
your
heart,
and
the
truth
will
enlighten
your
soul.
The Mystery of God’s
Heart
This
Bible
study
is
intended
for
those
who
are
searching
for God.
The
purpose
of
the
lesson
is
to
learn
more
about
God
by
exploring
the
mystery
of
His
heart,
and
to
change
our
perception of who He is.
God’s
love
is
a
mystery
because
man
misinterprets
His
intentions.
Spiritual Attributes
God
designed
humans
with
unique
spiritual
attributes.
This
lesson
will
enhance
your
spiritual
understanding
of
the
intent
of
God’s
design,
His
desire
for
each
of
us,
and
how
these
attributes
influence
who
we
are
and
what we do.
This
lesson
explores
our
propensity
to
judge
others
via
our
flesh
(including
the
negative
consequences).
It
also
provides
a
means
for
self-analysis;
and
explains
how
we
can
seek
Holy-Spirit
directed discernment.
Judgment vs. Spiritual Discernment
Worthy
There
is
a
significant
difference
between
what
humans
define
as
worthy,
and
the
spiritual
definition
of
worthy—because
one
is
based
upon
lies,
and
the
other
is
based
upon
truth.
By
fully exploring the different
facets
of
the
word
“worthy,”
we
will
gain
a
unique
insight
into
the
various
subliminal
influences
of
human-defined
worthiness
in
our
lives,
have
a
greater
understanding
why
we
sometimes
do
what
we
do—and
most
important,
it
will
create a greater appreciation of our salvation.
Living Water
Jesus
said,
"He
who
believes
in
Me,
as
the
scripture
has
said,
out
of
his
heart
will
flow
rivers
of
living
water."
(John
7:38)
This
video
explains
and
depicts
how
this
spiritual
transformation
occurs
within
our heart and soul.
This
writing
is
intended
for
Christians
who
are
serving
Jesus
Christ
as
Savior
and
Lord
(in
any
capacity
and
via
any means).
Treasures in Heaven
How
to
Lead
a
Bible
Study
This
lesson
is
intended
for
those
who
have
a
desire
to
lead
a
Bible
study,
and
for
those
who
desire
to
improve
their
skills
in
leading
Bible
studies.
When
the
flesh
steps
aside—and
an
open
humble
heart yields to the guidance
of
the
Holy
Spirit—is
when
a
Bible
teacher
will
see
the
power
of
God’s
word
in
action.
What’s
more,
this
experience
is
an
indescribable
blessing
when
we
are
empowered
to
explain
God’s
Word
and
how
it
relates
to
the hearer’s heart, walk, life, and eternity.
How
to
Share
the
Gospel.
There
is
an
indescribable
feeling
and
joy
on
the
inside
when
we
are
used
by
the
Holy
Spirit
to
share
the
Gospel—especially
when
we
witness
the
“harvest”
of
someone
who
is
bound
by
sin
discover
the
power
of
God’s
grace
and
love,
and
are radically changed.
This
lesson
provides
guidance
in
how
to
Share
the
Gospel
of
Jesus
Christ,
what
to
do
and
not
do,
describes
the
concept
of
planting
seeds,
how
to
respond
to
objections, and much more.

The Covenant
(The beginning of the end.)
One
of
the
most
important
indicators
of
the
last
days
is
found
in
Dan
9:27;
because
it
defines
the
event
that
will
initiate
the
Tribulation
and
the
last
7
years.
As
such,
every
person
on

scripture
and

for
the
fulfillment of this prophecy.

and
the Sovereignty of Israel
To
open
the
eyes,
influence
the
minds,
and
change
the
hearts
of
Israelites
towards
Jesus
Christ
will
require
a
series

of
Israel’s
sovereignty.

Book

Revelation.
“Blessed

words
of
this
prophecy,
and
keep
those
things
which
are
written
in
it;

Angels, Fallen Angels & Demons
The
intent
of
this
writing
is
to
replace
our
conceptual
images
of
angels,
fallen
angels
and
demons
with
definitive
scripture-based
information
that
supports
a
more
accurate,
deeper
and
broader understanding of spiritual beings.
Memories
provide
a
scripture-based
answer
to
the
following
question:
Do
our
memories
go
with
us
when we die?
Is
Jesus
Christ
the
Messiah?
Each
person
must
decide:
Is
Jesus
Christ
the
Son
of
God,
the
Messiah,
the
Anointed
One,
and
Lord
—
or
not?
Making a choice is not an
option;
it
was
not
His
intent;
and
each
person’s
decision
has eternal consequences.
3 Types of Death
1 Source of Life
This
Bible
study
provides
scriptural
evidence
there
are
three
types
of
death:
spiritual,
physical and 2nd death.
Those
who
are
born
again
will
only
experience
the
first
two.
Those
who
are
not
born
again
will
experience
all
three.
What is a Born-Again
Christian?
This
Bible
study
explains
why
we
cannot
earn
our
way
to
Heaven,
and
expands
understanding
of
what
it
means to be born again.
Note:
You
should
read
“3
Types
of
Death
1
Source
of
Life”
before
reading
“What
is
a
Born-Again
Christian.”
“3
Types
of
Death
1
Source
of
Life”
provides
a
“broader
foundation”
for
understanding
spiritual
death
and
why
we
need to be born again.
Foundation
is
comprised
of
biblically-based
foundational
principles
for
Christian
living,
and
provides
the
groundwork
for
an
eternal
life
in
Heaven.
It
is
written
in
a
manner
that
is
appropriate
for
all
persons,
including
those
who
do
not
know Jesus Christ.
I
Am
the
Way,
the
Truth
and the Life.
One
of
the
most
important,
powerful
and
thought-
provoking
declarations
Jesus Christ made is when
He
said
“I
am
the
way,
the
truth,
and
the
life.”
But
what’s
more,
He
drew
a
spiritual
and
eternal
“line
in
the
sand”
that
separated
Himself
from
all
other
attempts
by
man
to
reach
God
when
He
added,
“No
one
comes
to
the
Father
except through Me.” John 14:6
This
writing
explores
His
proclamation
because
it
defines
His spiritual role between each of us and our Holy God
Truths Declared by Jesus
Christ
The
declarations
made
by
Jesus
were
comprised
of
spiritual
truths
that
changes
lives.
God’s 8 Covenants
This
lesson
is
based
upon
the
past
and
present
covenants
made
by
God
so
that
we
may
spiritually
see:
(1)
how
He
will
fulfill
His
remaining
promises
through
His
Son,
Jesus
Christ;
(2)
into
His
heart,
and
(3)
His
desires for each of us.
Rapture
A
biblical
event
will
occur
in
the
future
that
will
have
an
unimaginable
impact
upon
earth
—
because
many
will
disappear
in
an
instant
of
time.
This
short
lesson
is
about
the
four most common beliefs as
to
when
it
will
occur,
and
is
relevant
for
every
living
person
as
we
continually
move
towards
(and
get
closer
to) the last days.
Satan’s Prison
There
is
a
reason
and
source
for
all
of
the
chaos
in
our
world.
It
is
caused
by
a
delusional
and
influential
angelic
being—who
led
a
heavenly
insurrection
to
overthrow
God
and
take
His
throne—failed,
and
was
cast
to earth as a punishment for
his
crime.
As
such,
many
are
not
aware
that
we
are
living
within
Satan’s
prison—as
he
seeks
to
destroy
as
many
as
possible while he waits for his final demise.
Unimaginable Darkness
Christians
must
spiritually
prepare
for
unimaginable
darkness
as
the
ability
of
evil
forces
to
influence
and
manipulate
darkened
human
minds
via
delusional
lies
will
increase
as
we
enter
into
the
last
days.
The
global
influence of evil will magnify
beyond
logical
comprehension
as
new
boundaries
of
inconceivable
behavior
are
broken.
That
which
seems
shocking
today
will
become
commonplace
as
Satan—the
abomination
who
causes
desolation—is
granted
increased power to deceive and destroy.
Spiritual Warfare
We
have
been
purchased
by
the
blood
of
the
Lamb
and
are
God’s
property.
As
such,
God
has
provided
us
with
powerful
strongholds
to
use
when
we
engage
in
spiritual
warfare.
The
objective
of
this
lesson
is
for
Christians
to
recognize
and
use
what
God
has
given
us
to
become
victorious.
Prayer
Prayer
(or
communicating
with
God)
is
a
critical
component
of
spiritual
life.
However,
many
Christians
are
not
aware
of
the
various
aspects
of
effective
prayer.
This
“foundational”
lesson
discusses
the
who,
what,
when,
where
and
why
prayer
is important for all believers.
What
is
the
Spiritual
Status
of Your Soul?
Each
of
us
has
a
soul
that
lives
within
our
physical
bodies.
The
purpose
of
this
lesson
is
to
facilitate
introspection
of
our
soul;
learn
more about ourselves;
identify
aspects
of
our
soul
that
are
in
alignment
with
God’s
will,
and
determine
areas
where
our
soul
can
improve
by
becoming
less
like
ourselves
and
more
like
Jesus—via
the
lesson
content
and
with
the
assistance
of
a self-analysis tool.
Overcoming
Anxiety
and
Fear During the Last Days
As
we
enter
into
the
last
days,
we
will
experience
progressive
degrees
of
anxiety
and
fear
as
the
instability and chaos within
the
world
increases,
as
our
feelings
of
security
decreases, and as we grapple with future unknowns.
This
lesson
defines
the
key
difference
between
anxiety
and
fear,
and
describes
different
techniques
to
overcome
our anxiety and fear.
“Blessed
are
those
who
hunger
and
thirst
for
righteousness.”
Jesus
declared
those
who
seek
righteousness
are
blessed—because
(1)
this
desire
is
not
normal
to
the
common
person,
and
(2)
it
is
driven by the influence of the
Holy
Spirit.
This
lesson
reveals
the
dynamics
that
occurs
when
we
hunger
and
thirst
for
righteousness,
and
explains
the
foundational
requirement
for
attaining
righteousness.
