a) They are to Teach the people everything that they have been taught by the Lord.
b) They are to observe all things that have been commanded by the Lord.
c) They can have assurance that the Lord is with them - even until the end of the World.
(This Second one teaches me that The Lord Is With These Bible Teachers)
------------------
Chris.
In the last couple of generations of the Church there have been many Bible Teachers. Some of them who, with an Anointing of the Holy Spirit and a good knowledge of the Word of God, teach the Saints the Truths of God's Word. This is really good and what is needed in this generation. Sadly there are others who mess up Churches with 'teaching' that excites people that is not really Biblical and they do it for their own gain.

We are encouraged here to Pray for and about God's Children. These Children have many needs, just like any other children. The difference being that God loves to help and to meet the needs of His Children. It is only God's Children that have confidence in Him. Let us continue to Pray for the needs of God's Children.

----------------
Chris.
When we have the confidence and assurance that God is with us we should thank Him frequently for it and not take His Presence for granted. The attitude of a True Believer who believes that God is with them should be extravagant Thanksgiving because to have God with us is a great privilege.

Immanuel!

As True Believers we receive many teachings about God. One of these teachings is on the popular subject:- "The Love Of God As A Heavenly Father". Both brothers and sisters find help and comfort in these teachings. Briefly, I want to mention here, as the Scripture also does, that our mothers are important figures in our lives, especially when we are growing up. We should not despise the pain that our mother went through to bring us onto this Earth.

(I exclaim with this QT: Yes, In All Things)
---------
Chris.
All wrongdoing is sin. This is a basic fact in the Bible. It is a Truth that we cannot get away from because it is God's Truth. All sin is repulsive to God so we must take care not to sin. It is very clear from the Ten Commandments and the various Laws alongside them, what is a sin that leads to death. We should not try to excuse ourselves because our sin is not included. All wrongdoing is sin.
We Should Not Argue With Our Maker!
'We Should Not Argue With Our Maker.'
Isaiah 45:9.
a) It will be terrible and horrible for anyone who argues with his Maker.
b) They are like a broken piece of pottery lying on the ground.

b) He brought Him back to Life.

d) God wants to turn all of us from our sinful ways.

--------
Chris.
In this QT the Word of God strongly reminds me not to argue with my Maker. If I argue with Him I will always be the loser. It is really not wise to argue with Him. Mostly we argue when we think that He did not answer our Prayers in the way in which we thought He should. We sometimes argue with Him when we see seeming injustice, arguing does not help at all. Prayer may help, intervention may help, arguing will not help.

(This Second one Teaches me A Painful Benefit)

'They Wanted To Learn To Pray.'

a) There was one day when Jesus was Praying in a certain place.

(Through this Second one I Trust God's Good Plans And Intentions)
-----
Chris.
They wanted to learn to Pray. This is really not a common desire amongst Christian people in these days. Because of this situation the Churches become troubled and weaker in many Nations. It is time for restoration of the desire to Pray to come to the Churches. 'Ministry' is not a substitute for Prayer, if there was more Prayer, there would be less need for 'Ministry'.
Assurance Of Eternal Life!
'Assurance Of Eternal Life.'
1 John 5:13.
a) Apostle John was writing to True Believers.
b) They Believe in the Name of the Son of God.
c) John 20:31. John wrote these things so that they would know that they have Eternal Life.

----
Chris.
God is at the Head of a large gathering of Rulers and Judges. Several times during different occasions on and in the news recently there have been these large gatherings as mentioned here. Some of these meetings are openly hostile towards God, others ignore God but very few embrace God. This is why we need to be Praying for the National Leaders.

1 John 4:9.
a) How did God show His Love for us?
b) He sent His One and Only Son into the World.
c) God sent Him so that we could receive Life through Him.
(This Second one answers the question: How Did God Show His Love For Us)
---
Chris.
Many times we do not receive from God because we do not ask. There are reasons for this. We do not ask because we do not believe that God will answer. We do not ask because of our lack of Faith. We do not ask because of past disappointing experiences...and many more.

Think About God's Creation!
'Think About God's Creation.'
Isaiah 45:7.
a) God Creates Light.
b) God Creates Darkness.

Acts 3:26.
a) God Raised up Jesus, His Chosen Son.
b) God sent Him first to the Jews.
c) Because He wanted to Bless them.
d) God wanted to turn all of them from their sins and evil ways.
(This Second one reveals to me a part of God's Salvation Plan)
--------------------------
Chris.
God Creates all that He Creates because He is the Lord. There are many times I ask myself why. Why did God Create this situation? Why did God Create this person? Why did God Create such a fearsome animal? The only answer I can really find that satisfies me is because He is the Lord.

b) When the inheritance grew weary.
c) God restored His Land.
(This Second one Blesses me: God Restored It)
-------------------------
Chris.
I need to ask in the Name of the Lord Jesus. We are to Trust and Believe in the Lord and one of the Major ways that we do this is in our Prayers. The Lord actually asked and asks His Disciples to Pray in His Name. We also need to pray in the same way ... call on the Name of Jesus. May we be encouraged to Pray, it is a part of the Life of a True Believer.
God's Testimony!
'God's Testimony.'
1 John 5:10.
a) All people who Believe in the Son of God.
b) Know in their hearts.

(Through this QT I affirm that God's Testimony is True)
------------------------
'An Angel That Kills And Destroys.'

(This Second one teaches me that there is An Angel That Kills And Destroys)
------------------------
Chris.
Whenever folks do not Believe God's Testimony (His Word) about His Son, they are calling God a liar. Those ministers and lay people who share the Gospel Good News with others, whether publicly or privately, need to be sure that they put their sharing in a correct and Biblical manner. Anointed by the Holy Spirit, God's Truth can help people change their minds about His Testimony.

a) God requited the wickedness.
b) God punished the evil.
c) Of the men of Shechem.
d) So upon them came the curse of Jotham, the son of Gideon Jerubbaal.
(This Second one teaches me that God punishes evil: The Evil Men Of Shechem)
-----------------------
Chris.
The World needs to know that there is no other God. The Greatest and most Powerful way in which this uniqueness of God is His Love. The Bible tells us that God so loved the World that He gave His Only Son, Jesus Christ, for us. We may be able to think of all kinds of natural manifestations of the Greatness of God, but Love is the Greatest.

Teaching From Jesus On Prayer!
'Teaching From Jesus On Prayer.'
Luke 11:5-13.
a) Luke 11:5. Jesus' Teaching was simple and easy to understand. He gave the example of wanting to borrow bread at midnight.

c) Luke 11:7. The friend and his family were all in bed - it was a 'family' bed. He cried out that he was in bed and could not help the man who needed the bread.
d) Luke 11:8. The man who really needed that bread was shamelessly persistent so the friend got up and gave him the bread.

(This QT encourages my Prayer life: Teaching From Jesus On Prayer)
----------------------
'Conflict Sometimes Comes From God.'
Judges 9:23.
a) God sent an evil spirit that stirred up trouble.
b) It was between Abimelech and the men of Shechem.
c) The evil spirit caused treachery and revolution.
(Through this Second one I know that Conflict Sometimes Comes From God)
----------------------
Chris.
When we read the Luke passage above, we read that the man was shamelessly persistent in Prayer. The reason why he could Pray like that was that he and his motives were pure. The home owner gave him the bread, firstly because they were friends, secondly because it was a selfless reason that he needed the bread. There is a lesson for us here about our Prayers.
Believe What God Says!
'Believe What God Says'

(This Second one reveals to me who and what God sent)
--------------------
Chris.
God sent! This is a wonderful brief statement that reveals to us many things about the Character of God. We can see His Love here He was and is a God of Love Who sacrificed His Own Son for us. God is Holy, He sent Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden. God is Compassionate, He sent Joseph on for the sake of His People.
Amazing Hand Of The Lord!

God is good and He works in different ways on our behalf. Whatever our situation, we should trust the Lord.

'Consider Their Needs.'

---------------------
Chris.
Church is meant to be a place where, first of all, the Lord is Glorified and Worshipped. It is also meant to be a House of Prayer. In the life of the Church there should be Study of the Word of God so that True Believers can grow. It should be a Gospel Centre where non-believers can come to the Lord Jesus and from where the Gospel is taken into the World.
What God Says Is More Important!
'What God Says Is More Important.'
1 John 5:9.
a) If we believe and receive what men say.

c) God has spoken about His Son.

Chris.
We need to remember that what God says is important. There are different ways in which He may speak to us. He may speak through the Word of God as we read it or listen to it being read. We may hear it as we listen to the sermon or Bible Study Message. He may speak to us directly as we pray and He drops it into our heart. What God says is important.

(This Second one reveals Words That Jesus Loves To Say)
-------------------
Chris.
The Lord makes wise men's knowledge foolish when they deliberately use it to contradict the Word of God. The most wonderful event is when wise men come to the Lord and are led by Him. These Sanctified wise men with their Sanctified Wisdom can have a great and positive impact on the Body of Christ.

Chris.
Some of the Truths in the Word of God are simple but vitally important. The ways in which we may read the Bible are varied and various. We should not be legalistic about Bible Reading, especially if we are Teaching Bible Reading to other people. I am convinced that the Bible, the Word of God, should be speaking to every True Believer.

a) These three agree.
b) These three speak the same thing.
c) These three agree on this Earth.
d) These three are:-
1-The Holy Spirit.
2-The Water.
3-The Blood.
(The Bible teaches me in this QT that These Three Agree)
------------------
'Don't Just Let Them Go.'
1 Samuel 14:22.
a) The men of Israel hid themselves in the hill country of Ephraim.
b) They heard that the Philistines (their enemies) were fleeing.
c) They followed hard after the Philistines in the battle.
(Through this Second one I learn: Don't Just Let Them Go)
------------------
Chris.
The Holy Spirit never works in independence. He works together with the Word of God and with the power of the Blood of Jesus. Every part of the True Believer's life is in the Hands of God and the way to live out this life should be lived out with the Holy Spirit, the Word of God and the Blood of Jesus Christ.
Our Redeemer Creator!
'Our Redeemer Creator.'

1-Made us.

(Through this QT I am in awe of My Redeemer Creator)

'A Good And Faithful Friend.'
1 Samuel 20:13.
a) Considers the friendship of his friend, David, much more than the fatherhood of his father.
b) Promises to look after his friend even protecting him from his own father.
c) If he needs to send his friend away to safety, he is very willing to do it.
d) Speaks the Blessing of the Lord on his friend so his friend would know that the Lord was with him.
(This Second one is a lovely picture of A Good And Faithful Friend)
-----------------
Chris.
Our Redeemer Creator formed us in the womb. Right up to just a few decades ago, that means hundreds and hundreds of years, the womb was a very private and hidden place where God worked His Miracles of Creation. Today, through different forms of radiology, the womb can become a very public place. Many, but not all, the mysteries of the womb can be seen. When this is revealed it only makes me Praise my Redeemer Creator more.

Chris.
- Remember to Pray for all True Believers. Praying for our Brothers and Sisters in Christ is something that we should not forget to do. Even though they may have no special "prayer requests" it is good to Pray God's Blessings upon them. The Church that frequently Prays for itself will be a spiritually healthy Church. Of course there are other things that we should be Praying for, but let's begin by praying for our real Brothers and Sister in Christ.
