25 Nov 2011 Yea it is Friday and Sunday is coming. I celebrate this day because in 1977 I tasted my last alcoholic drink. I'm grateful that the desire for liquor is gone, BY THE GRACE OF GOD!!This great gift was given to me even before I had read my Bible. I hope all of you realize it only takes ONE shot/drink to be on the the road that will always end up bad, yet James 4:17 does have its say. The term "high and dry" means something special to me.

What did you see in the life of one of the King's kids today? It is amazing to see the potential of seeking to know and honor your God and then seeing a good end.We all have the opportunity to do good and to be right.

What special choice did you make today? Take time to make your next option, the Best choice so as to glorify The LORD.You are being watched by someone. Please read to know Him and then "on purpose" be/get right and then do right.luvpj

21 Nov 2011 Monday This is Lesson#47for the 365 Bible Class for Sunday 27 Nov.
Has your attitude CHANGED toward The LORD concerning stewardship because you read this week? Are you "still" connected? What is your greatest treasure? Continue to pray for your card partner, your missionary family, the troops and the lost. As you share your testimony use some of the scriptures you have read this week and then pray that The LORD would draw them.

Review our reading, 21-27 Nov: Ezekiel 42:1-48:35; Daniel 1:1-4:37; James 5:1-20; I Peter 1:1-5:15; II Peter 1:1-21; Psalm119:1-112; Proverbs 28:6-18.

Key to Ezekiel "They shall know that I AM God." We are informed about what and when it happened to The Jews, Jerusalem and the other Nations from the journal of Ezekiel. How is your recording of key events in your life going to impact your followers? Many of the vision relate to the restoration of the temple and the rebuilding of Jerusalem, while these are partially completed, we look at the forecast of a city and a kingdom that is yet to be built by God. We must be concerned about our witness.

Key to Daniel As an youth of royal blood was carried as a prisoner from Jerusalem(606 B.C.) into Babylon and there living, learning and serving through the reign of Nebuchadnezzar- Belshazzar, Darius the Mede and Cyrus the Persian for the 70 years of Jewish captivity. How does a person live a consecrated life of faith and yet be a loyal and dedicated servant to a heathen king?

Key to James What is considered the cause of most wars? C_ _ _ _ _ _ ness( The desire to get for yourself what belongs to others) Did you see LSD? (4:17) Most believers do not want to suffer and we are generally not patiently waiting for The LORD to supply. Is verse 5 the only answer? What promise did you learn from this chapter and what are the conditions for success? Who is this James?

Key to I Peter Why are we surprised "IF and when" we are abused and MADE to suffer for His name's sake. We are to be exhorted and encouraged as we are reminded of the suffering of Jesus, our Lord. What did you note that is "precious" to The LORD, Peter and to us? What lifestyle did you learn at verse 1:13? Have you ever been consoled? Who have you consoled using "only" Biblical Words?

Key to II Peter Have you now been warned? The facts make the difference and our feelings ought to be better controlled. How can you use a blood test to verify your teachers? Have you considered changing your conversation to be aligned with v 5-8? What is "giving all diligence, add.." mean to you?

Description of God in The Psalm How can a person know God apart from His Law, Word, Judgment, Testimonies, Statues, Commandment, Precepts, Sayings and Way(s)?

Warnings in The Proverbs Carefully choose your companions, set a good example, apply v 13 often, strive to walk uprightly, fear God and keep His commandments.

Application of II Timothy 3:16-17--Does The LORD, your Lord consider you as perfect, throughly furnished and doing good works? If not, why not? What more do you need from God?
Why don't you/we celebrate "Thanksgiving Day" every week? When will our eternal life begin?
If you are not saved-I would like to share Bible Truths with you.
If you are saved and not in church-I would like to make a strong recommendation.
If you are saved and have not been taught stewardship-I will give you a testimony.
If you are a saved godly steward-Congrats!

Friday, November 18, 2011

18 Nov 11. Friday and Sunday is coming! How did you see LSD being described in James? Have you noted how many times lessons like Ezekiel 37 have been recorded in the Old Testament? What have you learned about The LORD this week?

Have you reviewed the Biblical verse(s) that clearly explain the obstacles to our prayers being heard or being answered? Who are we trying to impress? Take time to write out your next prayer, check your spelling and make sure who you are speaking to such as the LORD, Lord, lord, GOD, God, or god.

Please read to know Him! luvpj

14 Nov 11 Monday This is Lesson#46 for the 365 Bible Class for 20 November 2011.

Has your attitude CHANGED toward The LORD concerning stewardship because you read this week? Are you connected? Is your heart where your treasure is? Continue to pray for your card partner, your missionary family, the troops and the lost. Seek to share your testimony by using some of the scriptures you have read this week and pray that The LORD would draw them.
Review our reading:
7 - 13 Nov 14-20 Nov
Ezekiel 16:43-28:26; Ezekiel 29:1-41:26
Hebrews 8:1-11:31; Hebrews 11:32-13:25 James 1:1-4:17
Psalm106:1-111:10; Psalm 112:1-118:29
Proverbs 27:7-16 Proverbs 27:17-27; 28:1-5

Key to Ezekiel What a history lesson. Do you know what is the theme of this book? Remember to NOT get caught up with the "object lesson", but focus on who is speaking. What is significant about the fall of Jerusalem? What is significant about the "hope" of the restoration of Jerusalem? What is the hope for the captive? The Jews 1st went into captivity 605; 2nd 597; 3rd 587 and the 70 years was for their sin. The Jews rebuilt the temple 536-516BC. Note Ezk 33:21 as the _____ pint of Jerusalem.

Key to Hebrews *copied from Halley Handbook, Chapter 13, page 655 " Gracious Exhortations- This Epistle, though argumentative in nature, closes with tender appeals to its readers to be Loyal to Christ, and to Follow Him in all the ways of life, especially in Brotherly Love and Kindness and Purity and Goodness, and with Unceasing Prayer and Unwavering Faith in God."

Charges from James: How does Faith show in our testing, work, future and present day fellowship? What is significant about James 1:22 and 2:26?

Sweet spots of Psalms: God's mercy endures forever; Gives thanks for Redemption; Praise The Exalted GOD; Be amazed at His greatness and Good Works; Learn and practice the fear of God; Tremble at the presence of The LORD; Allow The Mercy and Truth of God to satisfy all your hopes and dreams.

Admonitions from Proverbs: Be wary of the fool; Practice and accept open rebuke; Be Prudent; Do right to the poor; Strive to understand all things; Fear God and keep His commandments.

Application suggestions (1) How has James 4 been demonstrated in this week's reading? (2) Compare Ezekiel 34 with 23rd Psalm and John 10. (3) How did you sense the forecast of Jesus in Ezekiel (36:16-37; 37:1-28; 38:1-39)? How does Hebrews 4:14 impact your concept of GOD?

Where and What is the EVIDENCE of your Salvation Experience? Everyone has a testimony! Read to know Him and believe what you read. GOD wants you to know Him.

8 Nov 11 Tuesday this will be Lesson#45 for the 365 Bible Class scheduled for 13ovember 2011.**NOTICE ALL CLASSES WILL be combined and MEET IN AUDITORIUM AT 09:45.

As you read this week look for STEWARDSHIP Principles and make sure that you stay "Connected". Has your attitude CHANGED toward The LORD concerning stewardship because you read this week? Continue to pray for your card partner, your missionary family, the troops and the lost. Seek to share your testi mony by using some of the scriptures you have read this week.

Review our reading:
7 - 13 Nov 14-20 Nov
Ezekiel 16:43-28:26; Ezekiel 29:1-41:26
Hebrews 8:1-11:31; Hebrews 11:32-13:25 James 1:1-4:17A
Psalm106:1-111:10; Psalm 112:1-118:29
Proverbs 27:7-16 Proverbs 27:17-27; 28:1-5
Key to Ezekiel: As a prophet during the captivity in the countryside he was a contemporary of Daniel who was important in the palace. Ezekiel, probably a student of Jeremiah, demonstrated many of the same preaching similarities. What did you learn because of the key phrases "They shall know that I am God". What did you find was the theme of chap 18? Did you see the fall of David's kingdom and the forecast of the coming Messiah(21)? What did God declare to be the sins of Jerusalem(22)? What was the vision about Lebanon?
Key to Hebrews What differences did you note between the Priesthood of Jesus Christ and that of the Levites? What is significant about "the new covenant illustrated in chap 8?How is the tabernacle in Jerusalem different than The True Tabernacle? How does cahp9 show the New Testament? What is significant in Chap 10 concerning sin-forgiveness? Chap 11 identifies who?
Sweet spots of Psalms Is there a record of repeated rebellions? What principal of Providence did you see? How does praise relate to and impact prayers? What is significant about Psalm 110? Plan to read Psalm 111-113 as a set.
Admonitions from Proverbs causes the reader to want to be "prudent" and not foolish. We all need to grateful and be more considerate of our spouse. Our conversation ought to be an encouragement.

Application & suggestions: Read to know Him!! Holy (-wholly committed and surely connected-) living ought to follow our conversion. Pray for direction in your stewardship. Plan to attend all of the services. Expect to be changed and not just stirred for the ministry of Victory Baptist Church

We will meet for lesson #46 in our regular class 20 November. Please read and be current.
