Now We Are Sure!

 

'Now We Are Sure.'

John 16:30.

a)  Now we are sure that You know all things,

b)  And have no need that anyone question You.

c)  By this we believe

d)  That You came forth from God. 

(This QT gives me confidence in the Lord)

PRAY: To fully trust that the Lord knows all things.

-----------

'New Testament Church Generosity.'

a)  Matthew 14:16. But Jesus said to them: "They need not to go away! You give them something to eat."

b)  Acts 2:45. And sold their possessions and goods,

c)  Acts 2:45. And divided them among all,

d)  Acts 2:45. As anyone had need.

e)  Acts 4:35. And laid them at the Apostles' feet; and they distributed to each as anyone had need.

f)   Acts 20:34. Yes, you yourselves know that these hands have provided for my necessities, and for those who were with me.

g)  Acts 28:10. They also honoured us in many ways;

h)  Acts 28:10. And when we departed, they provided such things as were necessary.

i)  Romans 12:13. Distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality.

(This Second one reminds me about New Testament Church Generosity)

PRAY: For the Church Leaders to be caring well for the Churches in every way.

-----------

Chris. 

Apostle Paul was able to affirm how he served and worked so that the New Testament Churches of his day were not burdened financially. He sets a good example and gives good teaching about financial matters in the Churches. It is beneficial today, for the modern Church, to follow Paul's Teaching and example. 

Salvation By Grace!

 'Salvation By Grace.'

Romans 11:6.

a)  And if by Grace,

b)  Then it is no longer of works;

c)  Otherwise Grace is no longer Grace.

d)  But if it is of works,

e)  It is no longer Grace;

f)  Otherwise work is no longer work.

(This QT reminds me of the reality of Salvation By Grace)

PRAY: To be able to experience Salvation By Grace.

----------

'Remember The Source.'

John 1:17. 

a)  For the Law was given through Moses;

b)  Grace and Truth 

c)  Came through Jesus Christ.

(This Second one calls me to Remember The Source)

PRAY: Thankfully Remembering The Source.

----------

Chris.

Continuing to read through John's Gospel gives us a very good foundation for Faith in our Christian walk. I can only emphasise my previous encouragements written in these QT's to read John's Gospel well as the foundation of our Bible reading. After reading John's Gospel we are surely heading in the right direction. 

A Lot Of Water!

 'A Lot Of Water.'

John 2:6.

a)  Now there were six stone water jars there

b)  For the Jewish rites of purification,

c)  each holding twenty or thirty gallons.

(This QT teaches me that the Jews used A Lot Of Water)

PRAY: To be good stewards of the water that God gives to us.

---------

'Jesus Did So Many Things.'

John 21:25.

a)  Now there are also many other things that Jesus did.

b)  Were every one of them to be written,

c)  I suppose that the World itself

d)  Could not contain the books

e)  That would be written.

(This Second one reminds me that Jesus Did So Many Things)

PRAY: To read of and understand well the many things that Jesus did.

---------

Chris.

Jesus did many other good things that are not mentioned in the Scriptures. It says here that there were so many that it would be impossible to record them. Simply trusting the Lord Jesus day-by-day is a beneficial and good way to live. We should read God's Word and pray, living a humble and simple life for the Glory of God!

Sometimes Jesus Spoke Plainly!

 

 

'Sometimes Jesus Spoke Plainly.'

John 16:29.

a)  His Disciples said:

b)  "Ah,

c)  "Now you are speaking plainly

d)  "And not using figurative speech."

(This QT teaches me that Sometimes Jesus Spoke Plainly)

PRAY; For Church Bible Teachers to speak plainly.

--------

'A Powerful Light.'

John 1:5.

a)  The Light shines

b)  In the darkness,

c)  And the darkness has not overcome it. 

(Through this Second one I see A Powerful Light)

PRAY: To live in God's Light.

--------

Chris.

All forms of Light that come from God are bright and powerful. The darkness cannot overcome God's Light! As True Believers we are people of Light and are called to walk in the Light. We need to obey and follow this calling!

There Is A Remnant Chosen By Grace!

 'There Is A Remnant Chosen By Grace.'

Romans 11:5. 

a)  Even so then,

b)  At this present time 

c)  There is a remnant

d)  According to the election of Grace.

(This QT teaches me that There Is A Remnant Chosen By Grace)

PRAY: Thanking God for the Election of Grace.

-------

'Christ Is Over All.'

Romans 9:5.

a)  To them belong the Patriarchs,

b)  And from them,

c)  By human descent,

d)  Came the Christ,

e)  Who is God over all,

f)  Blessed forever.

g)  Amen!

(This Second one reveals Christ for Who He truly is)

PRAY:  For God to help us to study the Bible well.

-------

Chris.

We need to fully study the Coming of Christ into this World! He came by human descent in the Perfect Will of God! From the outset He came as God over all. This is Who He was, and is and will be! We should never assess Christ as a "lesser" member of the Godhead. Our Triune God is a Perfect Trinity.

A Wise Mother!

'A Wise Mother.'

John 2:5. 

a)  His mother said to the servants,

b)  "Whatever He says to you,

c)  "Do it."

(This QT reminds me that Mary was A Wise Mother)

PRAY: For the mothers in our Churches to be wise.

------ 

'No Hidden Secrets.'

Mark 4:22.

a)  For nothing is hidden

b)  Except to be made manifest;

c)  Nor is anything secret

d)  Except to come to light. 

(This Second one reminds me that there should be No Hidden Secrets)

PRAY:  That there be No Hidden Secrets in our immediate environments.

------ 

Chris.

Nothing is hidden! This is something that we ought to remember and should cause us to check our motives. Everything, good or bad, will be manifest in some way. As True Believers in the Lord Jesus Christ we really should have nothing to hide from other True Believers! Our lives should be properly "open" in front of God!

Jesus Came From The Father!

 'Jesus Came From The Father.'

John 16:28.

a)  "I came forth from the Father and have come into the World.

b)  "Again,

c)  "I leave the World and go to the Father.

(This QT reminds me that Jesus Came From The Father)

PRAY: To have clear Faith in Jesus Christ.

-----

‘Jesus Knew All Things.’

Luke 9:51.

a)  As the time approached

b)  For Him to be taken up to Heaven,

c)  Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.

(This QT reminds me that Jesus Knew All Things)

PRAY: To trust Jesus in all things.

-----

Chris.

Jesus was ready when the time approached. We should be ready for all things that the Lord speaks to us about, or shows us. In most circumstances we should be able to be sensitive to time. If we are careless in our Spiritual life we are not so sensitive and so we may incur many problems. Let us be a people who are ready for all things. 

I Have Seven Thousand Others!

'I Have Seven Thousand Others.'

Romans 11:4.

a)  And do you remember God's reply?

b)  He said:

c)  "No!

d)  "I have seven thousand others

e)  "Who have never bowed down to Baal.

(This QT reminds me that God has seven thousand others)

PRAY: That we would never bow down to Baal.

----

'The Power Of Christ's Cross.'

John 12:32. 

a)  And when I am lifted up from the Earth,

b)  I will draw everyone

c)  To Myself.

(Through this Second one I find another aspect of The Power Of Christ's Cross)

PRAY:  To experience The Power Of Christ's Cross.

----

Chris.

We should never forget the immense size of the Body of Christ on this Earth right now! There are times when we go through some difficulty and in that situation we tend to forget. We are a part of the Body of Christ and we are of great value to Him! We should reject the negative thoughts and focus on the things which the Lord wants us to focus on.

 

What Does This Have To Do With Me?

 'What Does This Have To Do With Me?'

John 2:4.

a)  And Jesus said to her:

b)  "Woman, what does this have to do with Me?

c)  "My hour has not yet come."

(This QT makes me realize that Jesus clearly knew His Times)

PRAY: To know what our times are.

---

'Father First.'

Matthew 6:9.

a)  Pray then like this:

b)  "Our Father in Heaven,

c)  "Hallowed be Your Name."

(Through this Second one I know it is Father First)

PRAY: Putting Father First.

---

Chris.

Matthew is the first Book in the New Testament. It is a very obvious place to start reading the NT from! I really enjoy reading through the Bible and encourage anyone who reads this QT to do the same. Jesus taught His Disciples to pray - it is important for us to learn how to pray consistently.

The Father Himself Loves You!

 

‘The Father Himself Loves You!’

John 16:27.

a)  For the Father Himself loves you,

b)  Because you have loved Me,

c)  And have believed

d)  That I came forth from God.

(This QT reminds me of the Heavenly Father’s Love)

PRAY: To have confidence in Heavenly Father’s Love.

————————-

‘Paul Had To Go First.’

Acts 17:10.

a)  The brethren immediately 

b)  Sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea,

c)  And when they arrived,

d)  They went into the synagogue of the Jews.

(Through this Second one I can understand that Paul Had To Go First)

PRAY: To be willing to go first if you need to.

————-

Chris.

Going to the place of Worship is an important part of the Believer’s Life. We so often take it for granted about the Church activities. There needs to be a good and meaningful relationship between the Church and those people who Worship within it! We should be welcomed in any true assembly of Believers wherever we may be or wherever we may go.

Elijah's Panic

 

‘Elijah’s Panic.’

Romans 11:3.

a) Lord, they have killed Your prophets and torn down Your altars,

b) And I alone am left

c) And they seek my life.

(This QT shows me Elijah’s Panic)

PRAY: Not to panic when we are tempted to panic.

---------------

‘The Lord Will Answer If…’

Isaiah 58:9.

a)  When you beg the Lord for help,

b)   He will answer: “Here I am.”

c)   Don’t:

1- Mistreat others

2- Or falsely accuse them

3- Or say something cruel.

(This Second One Teaches me that The Lord Will Answer If…)

PRAY: For strength to obey God when we need to pray

---------------

Don’t panic! How many times have we heard people use these words! Here, a great man of God was panicking! I am sure that God wants to help every True Believer who panics not to panic.

Chris.

------------

An Unnecessary Burden For Jesus!

'An Unnecessary Burden For Jesus.'

John 2:3.

a)  When the wine was gone,

b)  Jesus' mother said to Him,

c)  "They have no more wine."

(This QT shows to me An Unnecessary Burden For Jesus)

PRAY: Not to be burdened by Unnecessary Burdens.

--------------

'Jesus Began To Teach Them.'

Matthew 5:2.

a)  And He began

b)  To Teach them.

c)  He said:

(Through this Second one I see that Jesus Began To Teach Them)

PRAY: To receive the Teachings of Jesus Christ well.

--------------

Chris.

I find it very helpful to read through the Gospels "as they are"! I mean that we should read Matthew first, then Mark, then Luke, and finally John. Whatever we read in the Bible and however we read it it is good to have some kind of "pattern" or "system"! Haphazard Bible reading does not help us to achieve what God wants us to achieve.

 

No More Figures Of Speech!

 'No More Figures Of Speech.'

John 16:25. 

a)  I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech.

b)  But the time comes 

c)  When I will no more speak to you in figures of speech,

d)  But will tell you plainly about the Father.

(This QT reveals to me Jesus' determination: No More Figures Of Speech)

PRAY:  To be able to speak without using figures of speech.

-------------

'An Important Principle.'

Acts 17:25.

a)  Nor is He worshipped with men's hands,

b)  As though He needed anything,

c)  Since He gives to all life,

d)  Breath,

e)  And all things.

(This Second one teaches me An Important Principle)

PRAY: To learn well Important Principles from God's Word.

------------- 

Chris.

We need to remember that God does not need anything! He is the Source of all things! The primary and most necessary part of our relationship with Him is Worship, then secondly Prayer. Our service to and for God needs to be founded in Worship and Prayer. If we follow this pattern, all that is false and deceptive will surely be revealed and we can take it out and away.

God Has Not Cast Away His People!

 'God Has Not Cast Away His People.'

Romans 11:2. 

a)  God has not cast away His People whom He foreknew.

b)  Or do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah?

c)  How he pleads with God against Israel, saying,

(This QT reminds me that God Has Not Cast Away His People)

PRAY: For God's Mercy to be with us every day.

------------

'Sincerely Pleading.'

Job 16:21. 

a)  Oh, that one 

b)  Might plead for a man with God,

c)  As a man pleads 

d)  For his neighbour. 

(This Second one reminds me of the value of Sincerely Pleading with God)

PRAY: Sincerely Pleading in Prayer.

------------

Chris. 

One of the things that Job exhorts us to do is to Pray! Here is a deep intercession - pleading with God for another person. This intercession has become more and more neglected in most Churches. If we took up the mantle of Prayer for Others in our Churches I am sure that we will see a new 'move' of the Holy Spirit in the Church and an increase of attenders. 

Jesus Received Invitations!

 'Jesus Received Invitations.'

John 2:2. 

a)  Jesus was also invited

b)  To the wedding

c)  With His Disciples. 

(This QT reminds me that Jesus Received Invitations)

PRAY: To respond correctly to any Invitations that we may receive.

-----------

'Jesus Calls Busy And Occupied People.'

Matthew 4:21.

a)  And going on from there He saw two other brothers,

b)  James the son of Zebedee and John his brother,

c)  In the boat with Zebedee their father,

d)  Mending their nets,

e)  And He called them.

(Through this Second one I find that Jesus Calls Busy And Occupied People)

PRAY: To be ready to respond to any Call from Jesus.

-----------

Chris.

Just as in the Bible Days Jesus saw and Called people, so He does the same today. In Bible Days Jesus was never "static" or immobile, He was so often moving around. He saw James and John and He immediately called them. James and John were "good Disciple material"! They were loyal to their father and they were busily mending their nets - good men!

Ask, And You Will Receive!

 'Ask, And You Will Receive.'

John 16:24. 

a)  Until now

b)  You have asked nothing in My Name.

c)  Ask,

d)  And you will receive,

e)  That your joy may be full.

(This QT is an encouragement to Pray and Ask the Lord)

PRAY: With Faith in the Promises of God. 

----------

'A Wise And Discreet Woman.'

Judges 13:6.

a)  So the woman came and told her husband,

b)  Saying,

c)  "A Man of God came to me,

d)  "And his countenance was like the countenance of the Angel of God,

e)  "Very awesome;

f)  "But I did not ask Him where He was from,

g)  "And He did not tell me His Name."

(This Second one reveals to me A Wise And Discreet Woman)

PRAY: For many wise and discreet women to be in the Churches.

----------

Chris.

We really need many more Men of God to be raised up in the Churches so that the Churches will be cared for well! This should be an important "prayer point" in the Churches. A good and anointed Leadership will maintain the condition of the Church well. 

A Meaningful Question!

 

A Meaningful Question!

Romans 11:1.

a)  I ask, then, 

b)  Has God rejected His People?

c)  By no means!

d)  For I myself am an Israelite,

e)  A descendant of Abraham,

f)  A member of the tribe of Benjamin.

(This QT poses A Meaningful Question)

PRAY: To respond well to Meaningful Questions.

---------

                                               The Lord Will Not Forsake His People.

1 Samuel 12:22.

a)  The Lord will not forsake His People,

b)  For His Great Name's sake,

c)  Because it has pleased the Lord

d)  To make you a people for Himself.

                  (This Second one encourages me ... The Lord Will Not Forsake His People)

PRAY:  To be encouraged by the Lord so that we may encourage others.

---------

Chris. 

Remembering the reality of who we are helps us to walk honestly and humbly with the Lord. We need the balance of the Life of Faith together with the Life of Reality. To deny the reality is indeed foolishness! Let us endeavour to live the life that God wants us to live in this present world! We need to respond well to the Lord and to other people as we live out this life!

Mary Went To The Wedding!

'Mary Went To The Wedding.'

John 2:1. 

a)  On the third day

b)  There was a wedding

c)  In Cana of Galilee,

d)  And the mother of Jesus was there.

(This QT reveals social life in the Bible)

PRAY:  To be sensitive to the Holy Spirit daily.

--------

'Jesus Found Philip.'

John 1:43.

a)  The next day 

b)  Jesus decided to go to Galilee.

c)  Finding Philip,

d)  He told him: "Follow Me.'

(Through this Second one I see that Jesus Found Philip)

PRAY: To follow Jesus well.

--------

Chris.

I was encouraged as a New Believer to read John's Gospel before I read other books in the Bible. I appreciated that advice! John's Gospel was so easy to read. Under normal circumstances I recommend New Believers to do the same. If we have a basically good understanding of what we are reading in the Bible we can easily guide other Believers what and how to read too.

 

Encouragement To Pray!

 

'Encouragement To Pray.'

John 16:23. 

a)  And in that day you will ask Me nothing.

b)  Most assuredly,

c)  I say to you,

d)  Whatever you ask the Father in My Name

e)  He will give you.

(This QT gives me Encouragement To Pray)

PRAY: To the Father in the Name of the Lord Jesus.

-------

'Reject Unbelief.'

Matthew 17:20.

a)  So Jesus said to them:

b)  "Because of your unbelief;

c)  "For assuredly, 

d)  "I say to you,

e)  "If you have faith as a mustard seed,

f)  "You will say to this mountain,

g)  "Move from here to there;

h)  "And it will move;

i)  "And nothing will be impossible for you."

(This Second one calls me to Reject Unbelief)

PRAY: Rejecting unbelief.

-------

Chris.

We do not need to be "super faith" people - all we need is faith as a mustard seed. This kind of faith will do the job! May the Lord increase our faith so that we can live in and do His Will. We need to focus, not on our faith but on the Lord Who gives us our Faith. "Have Faith in God" the Bible tells us. This faith sees us through our daily life. 

How Patient God Is!

 

'How Patient God Is.'

Romans 10:21.

a)  But to Israel He says:

b)  "All day long I have stretched out My Hands

c)  "To a disobedient and contrary people."

(Through this QT I discover How Patient God Is)

PRAY: To learn the many lessons that God has for us in the Book of Hebrews.

------

'All Day.'

a)  Psalm 42:10; 56:2. My enemies reproach me all day long.

b)  Psalm 44:8. In God we boast all day long...

c)  Psalm 56:5. All day they twist my words;

d)  Proverbs 21:26. He covets greedily all day long...

e)  Matthew 20:6. Why have you been standing here idle all day?

(Through this Second one I am reminded to Glorify the Lord All Day long)

PRAY: To be walking with God All Day long.

------

Chris. 

If we are to boast, we are to boast in God all day long. All other boasting is vain and it is boring for other people to listen to! If a True Believer is able to humbly boast in God, this is a very effective testimony to other people. 

An Amazing Sight!

 'An Amazing Sight.'

John 1:51.

a)  And He said to him,

b)  "Truly, truly, I say to you

c)  "You will see Heaven opened and the Angels of God

d)  "Ascending and descending on the Son of Man."

(This QT reveals An Amazing Sight)

PRAY: To appreciate the Amazing Sights that the Lord may show us.

-----

'Do Not Get Bitter, Remember The Heavenly Reward.'

Matthew 5:12. 

a)  Rejoice and be glad,

b)  For your reward in Heaven is great;

c)  For in this same way

d)  They persecuted the prophets 

e)  Who were before you.

(Through this Second one I am exhorted: Do Not Get Bitter, Remember The Heavenly Reward)

PRAY: To remember The Heavenly Reward.

-----

Chris.

We tend to forget that there is a reward to be gained in Heaven! This especially occurs when we are going through difficult times or times of persecution. True Believers have been persecuted since Bible Days, it is nothing unusual! But it can still be very painful in several ways. We should not forget to pray for persecuted Believers!

Sorrow Then Rejoicing!

'Sorrow Then Rejoicing.'

John 16:22.

a)  So also you have sorrow now,

b)  But I will see you again,

c)  And your hearts will rejoice,

d)  And no one will take your joy away from you. 

(This QT reminds me: after Sorrow Then Rejoicing)

PRAY:  To be able to Rejoice after times of sorrow.

----

'She Should Be Loosed.'

Luke 13:16.

a)  And ought not this woman,

b)  Being a daughter of Abraham,

c)  Whom Satan hath bound, 

d)  Lo, these eighteen years,

e)  be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath Day.

(This Second one clearly teaches me that She Should Be Loosed)

PRAY: For people whom Satan has bound in some way to be loosed.

----

Chris.

God's desire is for those people who are bound to be loosed, to be set free and to be made whole! It does not matter whether young or old, male or female, God's desire for them is freedom. Sometimes, the Church fails people in bondage by simply leaving them in their bondage and doing nothing about it. This is really not God's Will! these people need to be set free in Jesus' Name!

Isaiah's Boldness!

 'Isaiah's Boldness.'

Romans 10:20.

a)  And Isaiah boldly says:

b)  "I was found by those who did not seek Me;

c)  "I revealed Myself 

d)  "To those who did not ask for Me."

(This QT reminds me of Isaiah's Boldness)

PRAY: For the Holy Spirit to remind us about the lessons we can learn from Bible Characters.

---

'We Need To Believe The Message.'

Isaiah 53:1. 

a)  Who has believed our Message?

b)  And to whom

c)  Has the Arm of the Lord 

d)  Been revealed?

(Through this Second one I know that We Need To Believe The Message)

PRAY: For Faith to Believe the Message of the Bible.

---

Chris. 

This is a question that may come to many Bible Teachers and Evangelists: Who has believed our Message? It is a question that is not necessary to be answered. The answer is only in God's Hands! The Ministry of the Bible Teachers and Evangelists is to faithfully proclaim the Word of God, they are not responsible for the hearers responses! Churches are responsible to look after and feed their ministers well, as per the picture!

You Will See Greater Things!

 'You Will See Greater Things.'

John 1:50.

a)  Jesus said:

b)  "You believe because I said that I saw you under the fig tree.

c)  "You will see greater things than that."

(This QT is a meaningful Promise of Jesus: "You will see greater things...")

PRAY: Believing the Words of Jesus Christ.

--------------------------

'Simply Jesus' Style.'

Matthew 5:2. 

a)  And He 

b)  Began 

c)  To Teach them.

(Through this Second one I can see the priority that Jesus gave to Teaching people)

PRAY: For our Churches to follow the Teachings of Jesus Christ.

-------------------------

Chris.

It is really important that our Churches follow the Teachings of Jesus Christ. These teachings are more important than any denominational "fundamental truths"! The Teachings of Jesus Christ are, themselves, fundamental truths. Let us carefully follow them. 

The Joy That A New Birth Should Bring!

'The Joy That A New Birth Should Bring.'

John 16:21.

a)  Whenever a woman is in labour

b)  She has pain,

c)  Because her hour is come;

d)  But when she gives birth to the child,

e)  She no longer remembers the anguish

f)  Because of the Joy

g)  That a child has been born into the World.

(This QT encourages me to read John's Gospel)

PRAY: For women in your family and Church who are carrying children in their womb.

-------------------------

'Only The Lord's Name!'

1 Corinthians 1:15. 

a)  So that no one

b)  May say

c)  That you were baptised 

d)  In my name.

(Through this Second one I know that Baptism is Only In The Lord's Name)

PRAY: To trust firstly Only The Lord's Name.

-------------------------

Chris.

Apostle Paul deeply desired to make Disciples of the Lord Jesus. He never wanted to make disciples of himself. This is an example that every Minister and Church should follow. Every True Disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ should have the desire to make more Disciples of the Lord! Christian Baptism is a normal step in the process of becoming a True Disciple. 

 

Moses Makes It Very Clear!

'Moses Makes It Very Clear.'

Romans 10:19. 

a)  But again I ask;

b)  Didn't  Israel understand?

c)  First Moses says,

d)  "I will make you jealous of those who are not a nation;

e)  "With a foolish nation I will make you angry."

(In this QT Moses Makes It Very Clear)

PRAY:  To understand well the Words of God.

------------------------

'Go And Do It.'

Mark 16:15.

a)  Go into all the World

b)  And proclaim the Gospel

c)  To the whole Creation.

(Through this Second one I am encouraged to Go And Do It)

PRAY:  That many people who are Called by God will be willing to Go And Do It.

------------------------

Chris.

As we respond to Mark's Gospel and all the challenges that it presents us with, we will be more ready and more equipped to go out and share the Gospel with other people. The Church needs to have a vision, not just a general one, but a specific vision for each local Church. As the Churches respond to the Will and Call of God, so God's Purposes can be fulfilled. 

A Truthful And Positive Confession!

'A Truthful And Positive Confession.'

John 1:49.

a)  Nathanael replied:

b)  "Rabbi, You are God's Son.

c)  "You are the King of Israel."

(This QT reveals A Truthful And Positive Confession)

PRAY: To read well and Believe the Word of God.

-----------------------

'A Word For Husbands.'

Ephesians 5:25. 

a)  As for husbands,

b)  Love your wives just like Christ loved the Church

c)  And gave Himself for her. 

(Through this Second one I find A Word For Husbands)

PRAY: For husbands in our Churches to love their wives.

------------------------

Chris.

Families that base themselves in Ephesians will surely be Blessed and Happy Christian families. This does not refer only to one member of the family, but the entire family. If the husband is truly following the Lord Jesus, then the other family members can follow Him also. 

Your Sorrow Will Be Turned Into Joy!

 'Your Sorrow Will Be Turned Into Joy.'

John 16:20.

a)  Most assuredly,

b)  I say to you that you will weep and lament,

c)  But the World will rejoice;

d)  And you will be sorrowful,

e)  But your sorrow will be turned into joy. 

(This QT is a Blessed Promise: Your Sorrow Will Be Turned Into Joy)

PRAY: Confessing and Believing the Promises of God.

----------------------

'John's Weeping.'

Revelation 5:4.

a)  So I wept much,

b)  Because no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll,

c)  Or to look at it.

(Through this Second one I understand John's Weeping)

PRAY: For the Lord to find us worthy.

----------------------

Chris.

John's weeping was definitely holy in its source and manner. He wept because no one was found worthy. This is something that we do not experience much in these days... holy weeping! There is surely a challenge here! God wants us to live as worthy disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ. Our life in the Lord and our relationship with Him are most important.
