Chris.

Moses did everything that the Lord commanded him to do. There was no compromise, there were no "short cuts", everything that the Lord said Moses simply did. This is that obedient attitude that God wants us all to come to: no complications but simple obedience. With this attitude we will surely experience the Blessing of the Lord. 

If You Really Loved Me!

(Of thise Second one ... I know that This Is Really True)

PRAY: To Believe the Truth of God's Word.

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

Chris.

There is much Assurance given by the Lord to those people who believe in Him and in His Word. Assurance and Faith go hand - in - hand. Simple but real Faith in the Lord will surely be rewardd by Him. God can and does make all things work together for the good of those people who love Him. Even though the situation may be difficult - God is still there!

No Doubt About It!

(Through this Second one I understand more about the powerful word - Reject.)

PRAY: To trust God in every circumstance.

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

Chris.

The World system today is full of rejection in various forms. We need not, if we are True Believers, follow the same style as the World system. God gives us the Gift of Discernment, as well as natural Discernment, this Discernment helps us to choose between right and wrong and good and bad. We can and should always ask God for Discernment.

We need to remember that the Lord has a Voice that He manifests at different times in different ways. We should not be determining or trying to manipulate the Lord to speak! The Voice of the Lord is powerful, He breaks the cedar trees with His Voice. We can become more and more sensitive to the Voice of the Lord.

a)  Deuteronomy 28:56. The delicate wife and woman.

b)  Psalm 139:13. The delicate inner parts of the body. 

c)  Jeremiah 6:2. Jerusalem - the short-lived delicate daughter of the Lord. 

(This Second one makes me understand that God made certain people and things delicate)

PRAY: To understand who and what are delicate.

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

Chris.

We need to cherish who and what are delicate people and things. One of the most alarming things for me when I first became a Believer, and it still alarms me until today, is the way in which delicate people are cared for, both in society and in the Church. There is far too much of the "be strong" attitude, rather than taking time to care. Considering the Ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ may be helpful to us in this matter. 

Being Sorry!

 'Being Sorry.'

a)  Genesis 6:6&7. The Lord was sorry that He made man on the Earth.

b)  Matthew 14:9; Mark 6:26. The king was sorry.

c)  2 Corinthians 7:8-9. Paul's Epistle made the Corinthians feel sorry.

PRAY: Come to God if you are feeling sorry - He understands.

b)  And separated the waters that were below the expanse

c)  From the waters that were above the expanse;

d)  And it was so.

(This Second one reveals Careful Creator God)

PRAY: Remembering Careful Creator God.

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

Chris.

God made the expanse! In Creation He made everything that was made. When we read through the Bible verses to do with Creation they are awesome, intricate and amazing. We can clearly see God's Plan here! There was a "step-by-step" careful Creation. No mistake was made! God's Creation was and is perfect. Thank God for our perfect Creator God!

PRAY: For a good understanding about the Beginning.

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

Chris,

Whatever Bible Study methods we may use, it is also good to read through the Bible from the Beginning to the End! Bible study and Bible reading are different and we should do both. The Bible is God's Word and it should be a treasured input into our lives! God's People should be a people of His Word! Let us be enthusiastic about God's Word. 

The Helper, Teacher And Remembrancer!

p)  1 Timothy 6:2. Teach and Exhort practical truths as well as spiritual truths.

q)  2 Timothy 2:2. Teaching from generationto generation. 

(This Second one reminds me of The Ministry Of Teaching)

PRAY: For authentic Bible Teachers to be raised up in the Body of Christ.

-----------

Chris.

Teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ should be a normal ministry of the Church. This is an urgent necessity because we live in a day when false teachers and false teachings abound. Any current imbalances in Bible Teaching can soon be corrected or removed if there is clear teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ.

PRAY: For our local Church to be Joined Together - Growing Together.

--------

'A Truly Humble Mind.'

1 Corinthians 2:16. 

a)  For who has understood the Mind of the Lord

b)  So as to instruct Him?

c)  But we have the Mind of Christ.

(This Second one reveals to me A Truly Humble Mind)

PRAY: To have a Truly Humble Mind.

--------

Chris.

To have a truly humble mind is surely the desire of every True Believer. A real Believer surely wants to resist pride in every form. If we are to resist pride successfully we need to submit to the Word of God and to seek God for that humble mind. There are many people today who quote the Scriptures that tell us that we have the Mind of Christ. We need to be careful of such people! Remember the Words of Jesus and Apostle Paul - "By their fruit you shall know them!"

The Ministry Of Teaching!

 'The Ministry Of Teaching.'

a)  2 Timothy 3:16. Should be based on the Scripture.

b)  Matthew 28:20. Is initiated by the Lord Jesus.

Teaching.

e)  Acts 5:29. Want to obey God. 

f)  Acts 5:40. Were persecuted. 

(Through this Second one)

------

Chris.

I think that most True Believers want to have more Faith. The Bible tells us that Faith comes. The way in which Faith comes is through the Word of God. As we read the Word and hear the Word, so  our Faith will  grow. - it is the only way that this can happen. In our personal relationship with God. We should challenge ourselves to have a personal relationship with God. 

l)  

A Clear Presence And A Clear Teaching!

 'A Clear Presence And A Clear Teaching,'

John 14:25.

a)  i am telling you these things

b)  Now

c)  While I am still with you.

(From this QT we can find A Clear Presence And A Clear Teaching)

-----

'The Greatest Love Of Man.'

John 15:13. 

a)  Greater love hath no man than this:

b)  That a man lay down his life

c)  For his friends. 

(This Second one teaches me The Greatest Love Of Man)

PRAY: To love others with The Greatest Love Of Man.

-----

Chris.

Here is a challenge for all of us... to love other people with The Greatest Love of Man! I believe that only when a person is in the Lord Jesus Christ can they love with such a love. The biggest hindrance to loving others is sin. Sin distorts everything, so as to make genuine love distorted. This is another important reason why we need to deal with any sin that we are awar of in our lives. 

The Household Of God!

'The Household Of God.'

Ephesians 2:20.

a)  Having been built on the foundation of the Apostles and  Prophets,

b)  Jesus Christ Himself

c)  Being the Chief Corner Stone. 

(This QT gives me the desire to become a part of The Household of God every day)

PRAY: For the confidence that you are a part of The Household Of God.

----

'Truth About The Lord.'

Nahum 1:7. 

a)  The Lord is good,

b)  A strong hold in the day of trouble;

c)  And He knows them that Trust in Him.

(This Second one tells me some Truth About The Lord)

PRAY: To Believe Truth About The Lord.

----

Chris.

I am always eager to read Truth about the Lord. This Truth helps me to trust Him more and also helps me to Pray. The Truth in the Second part of this QT is simply Truth about the Lord, and yet, when we read it and pray through it, we can realize how good God is. In the Day of Trouble He is still there with us to help us. Truly: The Lord is Good!

The Calling From God!

'The Calling From God.'

1 Thessalonians 4:7.

a)  For God did not call us

b)  To uncleanness,

f)  Mending their nets.

g)  He called them.

(This Second one shows that they were Busy But Spiritually Ready)

PRAY: To be ready for the Lord at all times. 

---

Chris.

From His time of walking on the Earth until now, Jesus has always used ordinary people to fulfill His Will! It is really true that God is no respecter of persons! When we really understand this... we can be called by God in a real and dynamic way. Let us always be ready to do the Will of God, whatever it is. 

The Word Comes From The Father!

 "The Word comes From The Father."

John 14:24. 

a)  He who does not love Me

b)  Does not keep My Words;

c)  And the Word which you hear

d)  Is not Mine

PRAY: To receive the Word that comes from the Father every da!

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

'No Drama But Simple Compassion.'

Matthew 8:16. 

a)  When evening had come,

b)  They brought to Jesus many who were demon possessed.

c)  And He cast out the spirits with a Word,

d)  And healed all who were sick. 

(This Second one shows me No Drama But Simple Compassion)

PRAY: For ministry in the Churches With No Drama But Simple Compassion.

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

Chris. 

In Bible Days, even until today, so much of the Work of the Kingdom of God is done in the evenings. In many ways the evening is the most practical time. It probably takes a little more self-sacrifice to serve in the evening because most people are somewhat tired from a day's work. The sacrifice is worth it though, surely God will reward such sacrifice.  

No Longer Strangers And Aliens!

 'No Longer Strangers And Aliens.'

Ephesians 2:19.

a)  So then

b)  You are no longer strangers and aliens,

c)  But you are fellow citizens with the saints

a)  And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely,

b)  He said to him:

c)  "You are not far from the Kingdom of God."

d)  And after that

e)  No-one dared to ask Him any more questions. 

(Through this Second one I can see that Jesus knows: "You Ae Not Far From The Kingdom of God")

PRAY: To always answer Jesus wisely.

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

Chris.

We should always be attentive to what the Lord is saying to us. This really should be a part of our basic "Life of Faith"! Really, as true Believers, we are supposed to be those people who walk with God in some way. If we are walking with Him, then, in some ways, we should be sensitive to Him!

The Christian Life!

 'The Christian Life.

Romans 6:22.

a)  But now

b)  Having been set free from sin,

c)  And having become slaves of God,

'From Daylight To Evening To Night.'

Ezekiel 12:7. 

a)  So I did as I was told.

d)  Then in the evening while the people looked on,

e)  I dug through the wall with my hands

f)  And went out into the night

g)  With my pack on my shoulder. 

(This Second one shows me From Daylight To Evening To Night)

PRAY: To obey the Lord. 

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

Chris.

God is sometimes saddened, I believe, when we handle the things that He gives us unwisely/ We should not be "hoarders" or "wasters", we should simply be wise. the Bible tells us that God gives us richly all things to enjoy! Do we enjoy our life? OR Do we endure our life? God clearly states about our enjoyment. Under normal circumstances we should be able to enjoy our lives!

Those People Who Love Jesus!

'Those People Who Love Jesus.'

John 14:23.

a)  Jesus answered him:

b)  "If anyone loves Me,

c)  "He will keep My Word,

(This QT helps me to understand more about Those People Who Love Jesus)

PRAY: To Love Jesus more. 

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

'God Said That He Would Be With His People.'

Exodus 3:12. 

a)  God said:

b)  "But I will be with you,

c)  "And this shall be the sign to you:

d)  "When you have brought the people out of Egypt,

e)  "You will Worship God on this mountain."

(Through this Second one I am Blessed: God Said That He Would Be With His People)

PRAY: For assurance and confidence that God Is With Us.

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

Chris.

These are some of the most assuring words that anyone can receive from the Lord: "I will be with you." If we have this confidence, that God is with us, we can go ahead in His Will without doubting. This is the place of confidence that God wants His children to be in! The Bible says that if God is for us, who can be against us? Pray for missionaries who travel far away from their homelands, that God will always Bless and Comfort them, also give them safe journeys. 

Access To the Father

'Access To The Father'

Ephesians 2:18.

a)  For through Him

b)  We both have access

PRAY: To be sensitive to the Holy Spirit.

 --------------

'Perfect Peace.'

a)  You will keep in Perfect Peace

b)  Those whose minds are steadfast,

c)  Because they trust in You.

(This Second one teaches me the way to have Perfect Peace)

PRAY: For a greater level of Trust in the Lord.

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

Chris.

The kind of Peace that the Lord gives to us is Perfect Peace. Every True Believer can have this Peace. "My Peace I give to you." This is the Promise from the Lord Jesus Christ. Sometimes we needlessly struggle because we do not ask the Lord for His Peace! If we have this Peace, we can live an overcoming life as a True Believer.  

Not A Word Failed!

'Not A Word Failed.'

Joshua 21:45. 

a)   Not a Word failed

b)  Of any good thing

c)  Which the Lord had spoken

PRAY: To trust what the Lord says.

----------

'We Should Always Listen Carefully.'

Job 4:12. 

a)  Now a Word was secretly brought to me,

b)  And my ear 

c)  Received a whisper of it. 

(Through this Second one I understand that I Should Always Listen Carefully)

PRAY: To be a good listener.

----------

Chris.

We can learn so much about humanity as we read through the Book of Job. It is good for every True Believer to make a study project of Job. Job helps us to keep a good balance betweeen humanity and the Divine. Surely, until this day, the Lord speaks to His Children personally as well as in the Assembly. Let us enjoy Job, then Psalms and Proverbs. 

The Other Judas!

 'The Other Judas!

John 14:22.

a)  Judas (not Judas Iscariot, but the other disciple with that name),

b)  Said to Him:

c)  "Lord, why are You only going to reveal Yourself to us

d)  "And not to the World at large?"

(This QT reveals to me that The Other Judas was a Disciple who really wanted to learn from the Lord)

PRAY: To be like The Other Judas and really learn from the Lord.

---------

'A Thoughtless Argument.'

John 6:52.

a)  The Jews then disputed among themselves,

b)  Saying,

c)  "How can this Man give us His Flesh to eat?

(Through this Second one I find A Thoughtless Argument)

PRAY: For the Churches to be free from Thoughtless Arguments.

---------

Chris.

Jesus had been teaching about "The Bread of Life." This teaching had been completely misunderstood by the people. This kind of misunderstanding still sometimes takes place today! God has givne us His Word to help us to understand. self-study of the Bible can be very helpful! There should be no excuses for the True Believer not to grow in the Lord. If we really love the Lord, then we will also love His Word.
