1-We will be ready. and be bold.
2-We will be bold.
3-We will not be ashamed to meet Him.
(This QT teaches me something about The Church And Jesus Christ)
------------
'Jesus Teaches About The Light.'
John 3:19-21.
a)  John 3:19. Here is the Judgment.
b)  John 3:19. Light has come into the World.
c)  John 3:19. People loved darkness instead of Light.
d)  John 3:19. They loved darkness because what they did was evil.
e)  John 3:20. Everyone who does evil things:-
1-Hates the Light.
2-Will not come into the Light.

g)  John 3:21. The person does this so that it will be easy to see what they have done is by God's help.
------------
Chris.
Father John wrote very meaningful letters to the Churches that he loved dearly. He sets a great example to us - especially the brothers of the Church - of what it means to be a "spiritual father". Even though his letters were so practical and pithy he wrote them with a deep heart of love. If we desire to fulfil the role of a "spiritual father" in the Church we can learn much from his epistles.

Remember - He Is God!

'Remember - He Is God.'
Isaiah 46:8-9.
a)  When we refuse to obey God we need to remember.
b)  We need to keep it stored in our minds and hearts.
c)  Remember what happened in the past.
d)  Think about what took place long ago.
e)  God clearly told what was going to happen in the future.
f)  He is God, there is no other God.

(This QT exhorts me to Remember - He Is God)

'Light Is Good.'
Genesis 1:4.
a)  God saw that the Light was good.
b)  God was pleased with the Light.
c)  God separated and divided the Light from the Darkness.
d)  God called the Light: "Daytime".
e)  God called the Darkness: "Night time".
f)  Together the Light and Darkness formed the first day.
(This Second one reminds me that Light Is Good)
----------
Chris.
God clearly told, and still tells, His People the things that they need to know about what is going to happen in the future. These revelations do not just have to come through a "Prophet", although sometimes they may do, they can come to any True Believer or group of True Believers, who are living in the Light.

What Is Real Is Found In Christ!

'What Is Real Is Found In Christ!
Colossians 2:16-17.
a)  Do not let anyone judge or criticise you:-
1-For what you eat
2-For what you drink.
3-About special holy days.
b)  Apostle Paul is writing about:-
1-Special feasts.
2-New Moons.
3-Sabbath days.
c)  These were only temporary rules that ended when Christ came.
d)  They were only shadows.
e)  What is real is found in Christ.
(This QT reveals to me that What Is Real Is Found In Christ)
---------
'The Wrong Team.'
2 Corinthians 6:14.
a)  We should not be teamed or joined with those people who do not love the Lord.
b)  The People of God have nothing in common with those people who do not love the Lord.
c)  How can light live with darkness?
(Through this Second one I do not want to join The Wrong Team)
---------
Chris.
The Writings (Epistles or Letters) of Apostle Paul are clearly understood. If Paul thinks that there could be any misunderstanding, he either more fully explains his point, or he tells whoever he is writing to that he will explain in more detail when he visits. I thank God for these Writings, they really help me to know more about properly living the Life of a True Believer.

The Anointing Of The Holy Spirit!

'The Anointing Of The Holy Spirit.'
1 John 2:27.
a)  We have received the Anointing of the Holy Spirit from God.
b)  This Presence of the Holy Spirit remains in us.
c)  The Anointing of the Holy Spirit also Teaches us what is True in Life.
d)  We should not need people to teach us what is True in Life.
d)  What the Holy Spirit says is True.
e)  The Holy Spirit does not lie.
f)  The Holy Spirit teaches us to remain joined to Christ.
(This QT makes me very grateful for The Anointing Of The Holy Spirit)
--------
'True Light.'
2 Corinthians 4:6.
a)  God said: Let the Light shine out of the darkness.
b)  God is the One Who shined the Light into our hearts.
c)  It shows us the Light of God's Glory.
d)  In the Face of Christ.
(Through this Second one I long for more of the True Light)
--------
Chris.
What the Holy Spirit says is True. Sometimes, as we read the Bible, the Holy Spirit makes something stand out from what we are reading and we know that it is meant for us. There are other times that the Bible Teacher/Minister is Teaching and the Holy Spirit makes what the Minister is saying really speak to us.

It Cannot Save Us From Our Sorrows!

'It Cannot Save Us From Our Sorrows.'
Isaiah 46:6-7.
a)  Some people pour gold out of their bags.
b)  They weigh out silver on their scales.
c)  They:-
1-Hire someone who works with gold to make it into a god.

4-Lift in onto their shoulders.
5-Carry it.
6-Set it up into its place.
d)  It stands there in its place.
e)  It cannot move from that spot.
f)  If someone cries out to it.
g)  It does not answer them.
h)  It cannot save them from their troubles.
(This QT assures me that It Cannot Save Me From My Troubles)
-------
'This Is How We Should Live.'
Ephesians 5:8.
a)  We are no longer in darkness and bondage.
b)  We are now in the Light.
c)  Because of what the Lord has done.
d)  So now we should live like children of the Light.
(I know through this Second one that This Is How I Should Live)
-------
Chris.
Sometimes people pay out vast sums of money just to have an idol made of silver or gold. This will not help them in any way spiritually or make them rich or richer. The Salvation of the Lord that gives us Eternal Life also costs. It cost the price of the Life of Jesus Christ. All that Christ went trough and achieved for us means that, if we Trust in Him we have two precious gifts, firstly, forgiveness of our sins and secondly, Eternal Life.

Have A Clear Mind About This!

'Have A Clear Mind About This.'
Romans 14:5.
a)  Apostle Paul here tells the Roman Church people to:-
1-Have a clear mind.
2-Be absolutely sure in their own mind.
3-Be fully persuaded in their own mind.
b)  The subject was days.
c)  The problem was:-
1-Some people thought that one day was more Holy than another.
2-Some people esteemed one day above another.
3-Some people thought that all days were the same.
d)  Each person should be absolutely sure and fully persuaded in their own mind.
(This QT informs me that I should Have A Clear Mind About This)
------
'Our Basic And Great Need Of The Lord.'
Psalm 127:1.
a)  Unless the Lord builds the house.
b)  The work of its builders is useless.
c)  If the Lord does not watch over and keep the city.
d)  It is useless for the guards to stand watch over it.
(This Second one reminds me of My Basic And Great Need Of The Lord)
------
Chris.
I have heard, and also heard of, some True Believers who get stuck in the ages old dispute about days. There is nothing more simple to understand in the Scriptures than Apostle Paul's Teaching on this subject. If we follow this Teaching correctly the disputes can be solved and there should be no more disputes.

We All Need This Warning!

'We All Need This Warning.'
1 John 2:26.
a)  This is written by Father John.
b)  By the Holy Spirit.
c)  To warn us.
d)  Because there are those people who.
e)  Are trying to lead us down the wrong path.
(This QT teaches me that I Need This Warning)
-----
'An Amazing Happening.'
Acts 26:13-14.
a)  Apostle Paul was on trial before King Agrippa because of his Faith as a True Believer.
b)  In his evidence Apostle Paul said:-
1-It was noon.
2-He was on the road.
3-A Light came from Heaven.
4-It was brighter than the sun.
5-It was shining around Paul and his companions.
c)  Everybody fell to the ground.
d)  Apostle Paul heard a Voice speaking to Him in Aramaic/Hebrew.
e)  The Voice said:-
1-Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? (Paul's former name was Saul)
2-It is hard for you.
3-To go against what is correct.
(This Second one reveals An Amazing Happening)
-----
Chris.
Part of the Teaching and Preaching Ministry of the local Church needs to be warning the True Believers. This need of warning the Church seems to have been evident from the early days of the New Testament Church until now. The false teachers abound and attempt to draw people away from being Faithful to the Lord and committed in the Church.

Three Grand Questions!

'Three Grand Questions.'
Isaiah 46:5.
a)  These are questions asked by the Lord Himself.
b)  Who will and can you compare me to?
c)  Who is equal to me?
d)  What am I like?
(This QT simply poses me with Three Grand Questions from God)
----
'The Psalmist's Faithful Wisdom.'
Psalm 119:30.
a)  I have chosen.
b)  To be Faithful to the Lord.
c)  I put my trust.
d)  In God's Laws.
(Through this Second one I desire to follow the way of The Psalmist's Faithful Wisdom)
----
Chris.
There are times in the life of every True Believer that we will face questions from God. These questions will be causing us to think about God and also to positively respond to Him. Sometimes God will want us to answer those questions to ourselves and at other times He wants us to answer Him. Be ready always for questions from God.

Young Women Of The Church!

'Young Women Of The Church.'
Titus 2:4-5.
a)  We need to remember that most of the people in these Churches of New Testament times were first generation Believers.
b)  May need to be trained by the older women to love their husbands and children.
c)  They need to:-
1-Love their husband.
2-Love their children.
3-Have self-control.
4-Be pure.
5-Take good care of their homes.
6-Be kind.
7-Follow the leading of their husbands.
d)  Then no one can speak anything against God's Word.
(This QT Teaches me about the Young Women Of The Church who are married)
---
'Light Expels Darkness.'
Genesis 1:2-3.
a)  The Earth was:-
1-Shapeless.
2-Formless.
3-Empty.
b)  Darkness was over the surface of the ocean.
c)  At that time the ocean covered the Earth.
d)  The Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.
e)  2 Corinthians 4:6. Then God said: "Let there be light."
f)  And there was light.
(This Second one reminds me that Light Expels Darkness)
---
Chris.
A young married woman in the Church is to love her husband. This was very simple to enact in Bible Days. Their family culture was far different from ours today. There are so many children growing up today in insecure and dysfunctional families. There is no model of faithful love in many families and this will deeply affect the children in those families. Restoration of some of the Biblical Standards is a great way to begin any healing that may be needed in our families.

A Big Promise!

'A Big Promise.'
1 John 2:25.
a)  Father John really emphasises here ... "This".
b)  Is what Christ Himself Promised to give us.
c)  Eternal Life.
d)  Every True Believer has Eternal Life.
(This QT shows me A Big Promise)
------------------------------
'The People Who Do Not Know God.'
Ephesians 4:18.
a)  Their minds are in the dark.
b)  They cannot understand the Truth.
c)  They are separated from the Life of God.
d)  They do not know God.
e)  The reason for not knowing Him is because their hearts are stubborn.
(This Second one reveals to me about The People Who Do Not Know God)
------------------------------
Chris.
The reason that I gave the title A Big Promise and not The Big Promise is because there are so many Promises that God gives us in His Word. These are Promises which God wants us to believe and receive. There are times when people pray prayers that God has not given them permission from His Word to pray. When that happens the usual answer is unanswered prayer.

God Cares!

'God Cares.'
Isaiah 46:3-4.
a)  The Lord wants His People to listen and pay attention to Him.
b)  God has taken good care of His People.
c)  God carries His People along.
d)  God will continue to carry His People and take good care of them.
e)  God the Lord made us and:-
1-He will carry us.
2-He will care for us.
3-He will save us.
(This QT assures me that God Cares)
-----------------------------
'Shining Lights.'
Matthew 5:16.
a)  We are to let our light shine in front of other people.
b)  Then they will see the good things that we do.
c)  Furthermore, they will Praise our Father Who is in Heaven.
(Because of this Second one I want to be a Shining Light)
-----------------------------
Chris.
God the Lord made us. The original Revelation of God in the Bible is God the Creator. God, in the earliest days revealed His Love of Good and Hatred of Evil. His original plan for mankind is that we would be doers of Good. In this dispensation of Grace the only way that we can do good is if we have New Life in Jesus Christ.

Teaching From Experience!

'Teaching From Experience.'
Matthew 28:20.
a)  Jesus was Teaching His Disciples.
b)  They were to:-
1-Obey.
2-Teach.
3-Observe.
c)  Whatever the Lord Commanded them.
d)  The Lord would be with them always - even until the end of the age.
(This QT teaches me that one method of Teaching is Teaching From Experience)
---------------------------
'To Live A Life Of Love.'
Ephesians 5:1-2.
a)  We are to follow God's example.
b)  As dearly loved children.
c)  John 15:12. We should live a life of Love.
d)  We can do this by following the Love of Christ Who Loved us.
e)  Christ gave Himself for us.
g)  To be an offering of a sweet smelling savour to God for us.
(Because of this Second one I want to Live A Life Of Love)
---------------------------
Chris.
True Believers need to be observant. This is one of the Teachings that Jesus gave to His Disciples, they were to be observant. True Believers who are observant always find themselves safely continuing in the Will of God. It is when we are not observant that our lives are most open to deception and disobedience in our walk with the Lord.

Remaining Both Ways!

'Remaining Both Ways.'
1 John 2:24.
a)  As for you... John was still writing to the family of God which he loved so much.
b)  Continue to follow the Teaching.
c)  That they heard from the beginning.
d)  If this Truth remains in them.
e)  This remaining Truth will cause them to abide in the Son and the Father.
(This QT teaches me about Remaining Both Ways)
--------------------------
'Hope And Love.'
Romans 5:5.
a)  Hope does not put us to shame.
b)  God pours out His Love to fill our hearts.
c)  This is done by the Holy Spirit.
d)  Who dwells in every True Believer.
(This Second on fills my heart with Thanksgiving to God for His Hope And Love)
--------------------------
Chris.
In our own strength and wisdom it is impossible for us to abide in the Son and the Father. This is one of the realities that show us our need of Truth. God's Word is Truth. As we feed on the Word of God this Word creates a response to the Love of God. We need to continue to follow the Teachings of God.

What A Burden!

'What A Burden.'
Isaiah 46:1-2.
a)  The god Bel bows down.
b)  The god Nebo stoops low.
c)  To carry around they are burdens.
d)  A great load for weary people.
e)  These gods stoop low and bow down together.
f)  They are not able to escape carrying heavy loads.
g)  They go away into captivity.
(This QT show me that those people who do not know the Lord maybe say of their lives: What A Burden)
------------------
'God Always Leads Us In Triumph.'
2 Corinthians 2:14.
a)  Here is cause for us to give Thanks to God.
b)  He always leads us as captives of His Victory because of Christ.
c)  Wherever Apostle Paul and his teams went.
d)  God used them to make clear what it meant to know Christ.
e)  It was like a fragrance filling the Earth.
(Through this Second one I thank Him because God Always Leads Us In Triumph)
------------------
Chris.
The gods of the Nations are actually great burdens for the people. I know that some of the domestic and garden personal gods of people may even weigh two tons or more. These huge and clumsy gods are found, not only in their temples of worship - but even in their homes. Let us pray that the peoples of the Nations will turn to the Living God.

Deliver Me!

'Deliver Me.'
Psalm 31:5.
a)  Into Your Hands Lord.
b)  I commit my spirit.
c)  You have Redeemed me.
d)  Lord, now deliver me.
e)  Oh Lord God You are a Faithful God of Truth.
(Through this QT I can echo the Psalmist's words: Deliver Me)
------------------------
'The Just And Righteous Person.'
Hebrews 10:38.
a)  The Just and Righteous person.
b)  Will live by Faith.
c)  God takes no pleasure.
d)  In the persons who withdraw themselves.
e)  Or the person who shrinks back.
(This Second one gives me the desire to be like The Just And Righteous Person)
------------------------
Chris.
The Lord is a Faithful God of Truth. There are many reasons why we can Trust Him but here is one of the major ones. He is a Faithful God of Truth. God loves Truth. Everything He does is Truth. Jesus Christ called Himself the Truth. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth. The Bible is the Word of Truth. Everything about God is Truth. This is one of the major parts of the Character of God.

Who Has The Father?

'Who Has The Father?'
1 John 2:23.
a)  Whoever:-
1-Does not accept the Son.
2-Denies the Son.
3-Repudiates the Son.
b)  Does not have the Father.
c)  Whoever:-
1-Confesses the Son.
2-Acknowledges the Son.
3-Accepts the Son.
d)  Has the Father too.
(This QT answers my question: Who Has The Father?)
-----------------------
'We Should Not Turn Away.'
2 Peter 2:20-21.
a)  If they escape the:-
1-Corruption in the World system.
2-Evil in the World system.
3-Depravity in the World system.
4-Defilement in the World system.
b)  They escape through knowing the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
c)  They return and get entangled again with evil things.
d)  These evil things:-
1-Control them.
2-Master them.
3-Overpower them.
4-Defeat them.
e)  They become worse off at the end as they were at the beginning.
f)  It would have been better for them not to have known the way of Righteousness.
g)  Than to know it and turn away from the Holy Teaching.
h)  The Holy Teaching to them was:-
1-Given.
2-Passed on.
3-Handed down.
(This Second one clearly reminds me that I Should Not Turn Away)
-----------------------
Chris.
Once we have been saved by the Lord Jesus Christ we should not get entangled again with evil things. We should not take our life as a True Believer for granted. In order to maintain our Spiritual life we should follow the pattern of the early Church in the Book of Acts. Bible study, Fellowship, Breaking of Bread and Prayer.

In The Lord!

'In the Lord.'
Isaiah 45:24-25.
a)  In the Lord alone are:-
1-Deliverance.
2-Righteousness.
3-Strength.
b)  All people who raged against the Lord and who were incensed against Him.
c)  Isaiah 41:11. Will come to Him and be put to shame.
d)  All the descendants of Israel shall:-
1-Find Deliverance in the Lord.
2-Make their boast in Him.
3-Be Justified.
4-Glory in the Lord.
(This QT reveals the Blessing of being In The Lord)
----------------------
'We Should Not Turn.'
Ezekiel 18:26.
a)  If a Righteous person turns from their Righteousness.
b)  Commits sin or does injustice.
c)  They will die for it.
d)  The sole reason for their death will be sin or injustice.
(This Second one reminds me that I Should Not Turn)
----------------------
Chris.
I am sad, even sometimes spiritually wounded when I listen to people rage against the Lord and be incensed against Him. My Bible tells me that God is Good, God is Love and that God is Faithful. I really believe this to be so. My life has not gone smoothly, both my wife and I have had health problems that made our lives somewhat difficult. I recently got back into ministry after a long time away and was so Blessed. God is good, please do not rage against Him!

Christ's Last Words On Earth!

'Christ's Last Words On Earth.'
Luke 23:46.
a)  Jesus called out with a loud voice.
b)  Father.
c)  Into Your Hands I commit My Spirit.
d)  Having said this.
e)  He breathed His last.
(This QT shows me Christ's Last Words On Earth)
--------------------
'Trust In God And Not In Our Own Righteousness.'
Ezekiel 33:13.
a)  The Righteous person shall surely live.
b)  But if the Righteous person trusts in their own righteousness.
c)  If they do evil.
d)  If they do injustice.
e)  None of the Righteous things that person has done will be remembered.
f)  They will die for the injustice and evil that they have done.
(This Second one exhorts me to Trust In God And Not In My Own Righteousness)
--------------------
Chris.
Jesus Christ breathed His Last. The Last Words of Jesus are very significant. These last words were not given to His Beloved Disciples, they were given to His Father and ours in Heaven. If we read the Life and Ministry of Jesus Christ in the Gospels we find that He was completely reliant on the Father. Everything He said the Father said. Everything He did was also what the Father was doing. Let us discover what "Relationship with God" really means!

Who Is The Liar?

'Who Is The Liar?
1 John 2:22.
a)  Who is the liar?
b)  It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ.
c)  It is the one who says that Jesus is not the Messiah.
d)  Such a person is the antichrist - denying both the Father and the Son.
e)  They have made themselves the enemy of Christ.
(This QT answers my question: Who Is The Liar?)
-------------------
'Continue In Our Faith.'
Colossians 1:23.
a)  We should continue in our Faith:-
1-Established.
2-Firm.
3-Strong.
4-Secure.
b)  We should not move from the Hope held out in the Gospel.
c)  This is the Gospel that:-
1-We have heard.
2-Has been proclaimed to every creature under Heaven.
3-Apostle Paul ministers.
(This Second one encourages me to Continue In Our Faith)
-------------------
Chris.
There are some people who have made themselves the enemies of Christ. The Bible clearly teaches us that there were, are and will be such people. We can Pray for God's Mercy for those people, especially if they are our family members or friends. Only God can change their lives so that they become His Friends.

The Integrity Of God!

'The Integrity Of God.'
Isaiah 45:23.
a)  God, by Himself, has sworn.
b)  God's Mouth has uttered in all integrity.
c)  God speaks a Word that will not be revoked.
d)  Before God every knee will bow.
e)  By God every tongue will swear.
(This QT reminds me of The Integrity Of God)
-----------------
'The Lord God Is Faithful.'
2 Thessalonians 3:3.
a)  The Lord God is Faithful.
b)  He will Strengthen us.
c)  He will protect us from the evil one.
d)  He will keep us from evil.
(Through  this Second one I rejoice in that The Lord God Is Faithful)
-----------------
Chris.
By God every tongue will swear. There is coming a day in the future when this Word will be fulfilled. We live in days of blasphemy. Days when so many people all over the World are rejecting God. Blasphemy means: 1-Disrespect for religion; God; or sacred things. 2-The crime of assuming to oneself the rights or qualities of God. 3-Irreverant behaviour towards any sacred thing. We should turn away from blasphemy and turn to God.

David's Forsakenness!

'David's Forsakenness.'
Psalm 22:1.
a)  David's cry was to God.
b)  He felt that God had forsaken him.
c)  He felt that God was so far away from saving him.
d)  He cried with anguish but there was no answer from God.
(This QT: David's Forsakenness; reveals to me that God understands our most painful experiences)
----------------
'The Work Of The God Of Peace In Us.'
Hebrews 13:21.
a)  Equip and Perfect us in every good work for the doing of His Will.
b)  May He work in us what is pleasing to Him.
c)  He does this through Jesus Christ.
d)  To Whom be Glory for ever and ever.
(This Second one makes me grateful for The Work Of The God Of Peace In Me)
----------------
Chris.
We sometimes cannot understand why God allows sad stories and events to be recorded in His Scriptures. The Bible is not simply "a book of blessing" - it is far more than that. The Bible is God's Own Word, written to help us in every situation of our lives. Written to help us Worship God. Written to show us how to live in this World as a True Believer. The sad stories teach us that God understands and supports us in sad and devastating events in our lives.

Either One Or The Other!

'Either One Or The Other.'
1 John 2:21.
a)  The Purpose of Father John's Letter.
b)  Was not because the Church did not know the Truth.
c)  They already knew the Truth very well.
d)  They also knew that liars do not belong to the Truth.
(This QT reminds me that I should take my stand: Either One Or The Other)
---------------
'The Ministry Of The Lord Jesus Christ And God Our Father.'
2 Thessalonians 2:17.
a)  Their Ministry is to encourage our hearts.
b)  To strengthen us.
c)  To help us.
d)  In every good word and deed.
(This Second one gives me the desire to participate in The Ministry Of The Lord Jesus Christ And God My Father)
---------------
Chris.
We all need to take our stand! We should not entertain, or give room for liars in the Church. These people can cause so much division and many problems. We need to take our stand for the Truth. God does not need our protection and He is All Truth, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. What we need to do is to take our stand, by God's Grace, for the Truth which we all know well.

Turn To The Lord!

'Turn To The Lord.'
Isaiah 45:22.
a)  If we turn to Him we can be Saved.
b)  This is a World wide Message.
c)  The Lord is God.
d)  There is no other 'god'.
(This QT reminds me to Turn To The Lord)
--------------
'The Glory That Lasts.'
2 Corinthians 3:11.
a)  The Glory that was transitory and faded away was Glorious.
b)  How much greater?
c)  How much more Glorious?
d)  Is the Glory that lasts forever.
(Through this Second one I greatly look forward to The Glory That Lasts)
--------------
Chris.
Sometimes we are reminded by various circumstances, or through reading our Bible, or through hearing the Word of God being ministered, to turn to the Lord. At such times of reminding our response should be as immediate as possible. This response can instantly begin in our heart but to be worked out needs a process and some time. It is always a good response, when reminded, to turn to the Lord.

Feeling Forsaken And Abandoned!

'Feeling Forsaken And Abandoned.'
Matthew 27:46.
a)  It was around three o'clock in the afternoon.
b)  Jesus, on the Cross, cried out with a loud voice.
c)  He cried: "Eli, Eli, Lama Sabachthani?".
d)  It means: "My God, My God, Why have You forsaken Me?
e)  Psalm 22:1. David prayed a similar Prayer.
(This QT assures me that Jesus Christ fully understands the experience of Feeling Forsaken And Abandoned)
-------------
'Am I Ready?'
2 Timothy 2:10.
a)  Apostle Paul was ready, for the sake of the elect, to:-
1-Endure everything.
2-Persevere.

Chris.
There are a number of times that Jesus Christ repeated words sung and written by David the Psalmist/King. This was all Prophetically Inspired. It was very obvious that Christ knew the Old Testament because He humbly sat under teachers learning it as He was growing up. This should encourage parents today both to teach and to have taught their children the things of God.

------------
Chris.
One of the things that we should continually be praying for our Churches is that they will have an Anointing from the Holy One. The Anointing is something that the Church should really humbly seek after and treasure. We need the Anointing because the Anointing reveals the Truth to us. We need the Anointing because the Anointing breaks every yoke. It is presumptuous in the extreme to reject the Anointing.

There is no god apart from the Lord. Everyone and everything else that claims to be a "god" is not a god at all. We should be very careful in our daily vocabulary when we talk about people having "gods". I think it is really not a good word to use because it is not really true. An infatuation is not a god. Something filling our lives that should not be is not a god. The Lord - He is God.

(This Second one encourages me to Fight And Take Hold)
---------
Chris.
We, because of our weakness, often need encouragement and Truth to assist us in our Prayers. The Bible teaches us that if we Pray and ask God in His Will, He hears us. That is a very great comfort to me - He hears me. Because of this fact I can also have confidence in God's Answer, be it yes, no, or wait.
