Lessons of faith necessary for our lives.

“For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword: it pierces to the dividing of soul and spirit, joints and marrow, and is a judge of the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from Him, but all things are naked and open before His eyes: to Him let us give an account" Hebrews 4:12-13

Joshua 1:8 Let not this book of the law depart from thy mouth; but study in it day and night, so that you do exactly everything that is written in it: then you will be successful in your ways and will act wisely.

Proverbs 4:20 My son! listen to my words, and incline your ear to my words;

21 Let them not depart from your sight; keep them inside your heart:

22 For they are life to the one who finds them, and health to his whole body.

Rom.10:17 Faith therefore comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Don't rush through the lessons. When you have learned one lesson, then start another. Reason over the Word of God, taking It into your heart and speaking It with your lips. Learn the highlighted text by heart.

All glory to our Lord!

Lesson 1. Jesus Christ - Son of God

After Adam and Eve sinned, sin entered the world. Man sold himself to sin and began to serve Satan. The world was perishing in evil and untruth. To free us from the power of Satan, God sent His Son, who died on the cross for the sin of the world.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

John 14:6 Jesus said to him: I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.

John 6:47 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in Me has eternal life.

Acts 10:43 All the prophets testify about Him, that whoever believes in Him will receive forgiveness of sins through His name.

Through Adam we all sinned, but by believing in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, we receive forgiveness of sins and salvation.

Mark 16:16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; and whoever does not believe will be condemned.

Today you can accept Jesus Christ as your personal Savior by praying this short prayer:

God, I come to You in the name of the Lord, Jesus Christ. I realize that I am a sinner and I repent before You. I believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son, who died for me and rose from the dead. I accept You, Jesus, as my personal Savior. Jesus - You are my Lord. Thank You for salvation. Lead me and help me to be faithful to You for the rest of my life. Amen. 

1 John 5:1 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God

Confession of Faith: I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

Dear friend, if you have now prayed this prayer of repentance for the first time, having accepted Jesus Christ, please go to this link.

If you have learned this lesson by accepting Jesus Christ as your personal Savior now or earlier in your life, begin the next lesson that will confirm and strengthen you in your faith through the Word of God. 

Confess: Jesus is the Lord!

Lesson 2: Jesus is Lord

Rom.10:8-10 But what does Scripture say? The word is close to you, in your mouth and in your heart, that is, the word of faith that we preach.

9 For if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses unto salvation.

Acts 10:36 He sent word to the children of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ; This is the Lord of all.

If you believe that Jesus is Lord. Confess Him as Lord today, right now (if you have not yet accepted Jesus as your Lord, go back to lesson 1):

I believe Jesus Christ is Your Son, Who died for me and rose again. Jesus - You are my Lord.

If you believe that Jesus is Lord, the Son of God, you are a child of God.

John 1:12,13 And to those who received Him, to those who believed on His name, He gave the power to become children of God, 13 who were born neither of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

If you have accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and your Savior, share this news with your family, friends and acquaintances.

Rom.10:13 For whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

Say in your daily life and in prayer: Jesus is my Lord!

Lesson 3: Redemption, forgiveness and justification in Christ Jesus!

Romans 3:24 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus

Rom.4:25 Who was delivered up for our sins and was raised again for our justification.

Rom.9:30 What shall we say? The Gentiles, who did not seek righteousness, received righteousness, the righteousness of faith.

1 Corinthians 1:30 From him you are also in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption.

2 Corinthians 5:21 For He made Him who knew no sin for us to be sin, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God

Rom.3:25 whom God offered as a propitiation by His blood through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness in the forgiveness of sins previously committed

Eph.1:7 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace

Acts 10:43 Of Him all the prophets testify that whoever believes in Him will receive forgiveness of sins through His name.

Accept this Word of God, which you read above, into your heart and into your spirit.

Say: I am redeemed, righteous and forgiven in Christ Jesus my Lord through His Blood, through the sacrifice of propitiation!

Lesson 4: Abide in Him!

Col.2:6,7 Therefore, just as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, [so] walk in Him,

7 being rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith as you were taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.

If you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, abide in Him. Be rooted and established in Him and strengthened in faith! Pray to Him! Sing to Him! Praise Him! Seek fellowship with Him!

1 John 2:28 Therefore, children, abide in Him, so that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.

Phil.4:1 Therefore, my beloved and longed for brethren, my joy and crown, stand steadfast in the Lord, beloved.

John 15:1 I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.

2 Every branch of Me that does not bear fruit He cuts off; and every one that bears fruit he cleanses, that it may bear more fruit.

3 You have already been cleansed through the word that I preached to you.

4 Abide in Me, and I in you. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it is in the vine, so neither can you unless you are in Me.

5 I am the vine, and you are the branches; He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

6 Whoever does not abide in Me will be cast out like a branch and wither; and such [branches] are collected and thrown into the fire, and they burn.

7 If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

8 By this will My Father be glorified, that you bear much fruit and become My disciples.

1 Corinthians 1:30 From him you are also in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption.

Take this word into your heart and say it: Of Him I am in Christ Jesus, who became to me wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption.

Rom.13:14 But put on our Lord Jesus Christ, and do not turn the cares of the flesh into lusts.

Abide in Him!

Lesson 5. Ask for forgiveness!

We all sin a lot, says Scripture. We do not need to accept Jesus Christ as Lord again with the prayer of repentance as discussed in lesson 1. We are his children. We need to ask for forgiveness when we have sinned.

Matthew 6:12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors

1 John 2:1,2 My children! I write this to you so that you will not sin; and if anyone sins, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous;

2 He is the propitiation for our sins, and not only for ours, but also for the [sins] of the whole world.

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He, being faithful and righteous, will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Hebrews 10:22 Let us draw near with a sincere heart in full faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with clean water

If you have sinned, ask for forgiveness by saying: Forgive me, Lord, I repent for…(tell Him your sin) approaching You with a sincere heart, cleansing your heart from a vicious conscience.

Lesson 6. If sin haunts and tempts, what should you do?

The Bible says that if I do what I do not want, it is not I who do it, but it is sin that dwells in me.

Rom.6:2 We died to sin: how can we live in it?

Rom.6:11 Likewise, count yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Rom.8:10 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of righteousness.

1 Corinthians 15:31 I die daily: I am testified of this by your praise, brethren, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.

If sin pursues or tempts, we must count ourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

We need to be dead in body to sin, but alive in spirit to righteousness...

Receive this word and say: I am dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus my Lord.

Do not give your body over to sin!

Being dead to sin and alive to God is a transformation of Water Baptism - it is very necessary for a Christian.

Col. 2:12 Having been buried with Him in baptism, you were raised again in Him through faith in the power of God, who raised Him from the dead.

Lesson 7: We are risen and seated in heaven.

Eph.2:4 God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,

5 And he made us alive together with Christ, who were dead in trespasses; by grace you have been saved,

6 and raised him up with him, and seated him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

7 that in the ages to come he might show forth the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

We need to believe in this word!

Col. 2:12 Having been buried with Him in baptism, you were raised again in Him through faith in the power of God, who raised Him from the dead.

Col.3:1 If therefore you have been raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sits at the right hand of God;

2 Set your mind on things above, not on earthly things.

3 For you are dead, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

4 When Christ your life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

Ephesians 1:19 and how immeasurable is the greatness of His power in us who believe, according to the working of His sovereign power,

20 by which He wrought in Christ, raising Him from the dead and seating Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,

21 above all Principality, and Authority, and Power, and Dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come,

22 And he put all things in subjection under his feet, and made him high above all things, to be the head of the church,

23 which is His body, the fullness of Him that fills all in all.

Accept this word and say: I have risen with Christ and am seated with Him in heaven.

Lesson 8. Receive the Holy Spirit!

Acts 1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the ends of the earth.

John 20:22 Having said this, he breathed and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.”

Acts 8:15 who came and prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit.

Acts 8:17 Then they laid hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.

Acts 19:2 He said to them, Have you received the Holy Spirit when you believed? They said to him: we have not even heard whether there is a Holy Spirit

Rom.8:15 Because you did not receive the spirit of slavery [to] live again in fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry: “Abba, Father!”

The Holy Spirit was sent to earth, we need to receive Him. We accepted salvation by believing in our Lord Jesus Christ.

You can receive the Holy Spirit when a minister lays hands on you. You can receive the Holy Spirit during prayer or preaching. You can also receive the Holy Spirit alone with the Lord. 

Say with faith and without any doubt: I open my heart to you, Lord. Sprinkle me with Your Blood. I accept you Holy Spirit, come into my heart. And when the Holy Spirit fills you, pray in other tongues, as the Holy Spirit allows you to speak. Thank the Lord for the Holy Spirit!

Lesson 9. Be strong in the Lord and in the might of His might!

Eph.6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the might of His might.

11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil,

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in high places.

13 For this purpose take on the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to withstand on the evil day and, having done everything, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

15 And having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16 And above all, take up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery arrows of the evil one;

17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.

18 Make all prayers and supplications at all times in the Spirit, and be diligent about this very thing with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints

Our struggle is not against people, but against the spirits of wickedness in high places. We need all weapons, not just one sword or shield.

Take this word into your heart and say: Lord, I take Your whole armor. I arise, having girded myself with the truth, I put on the breastplate of righteousness, I put on my feet the preparation of preaching peace, and above all, I take the shield of faith, and the helmet of salvation, and I take the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, and praying in the Spirit, in other tongues. Thank you Lord for all your armor!

Be constantly strengthened by the Lord and the might of His might, putting on the whole armor of God! 

Lesson 10. Accept your healing!

Isaiah 53:4 Yet he himself bore our sicknesses, and he carried our pains... 

Isa.53:5 But He was wounded for our sins and tormented for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace [was] upon Him, and by His stripes we were healed.

Matthew 8:17 This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah: “He took our illnesses and bore our diseases.” 

1 Peter 2:24 He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that we, having been delivered from sins, might live for righteousness: by His stripes you were healed.

Ps.102:3 He forgives all your iniquities, He heals all your illnesses

Proverbs 4:20 My son! listen to my words, and incline your ear to my words;

21 Let them not depart from your sight; keep them inside your heart:

22 For they are life to the one who finds them, and health to his whole body.

Jesus has already done healing for you. Many years before the suffering of Jesus Christ, God, through the prophet Isaiah, spoke this word in the past tense: He took upon Himself our infirmities, bore our illnesses, and with His stripes we were healed!

Believe this word and declare: I believe that the Word of God is true. I accept this word. He took my infirmities and bore my illnesses, and with His stripes I was healed.

Thank the Lord for your healing in the wounds of the Blood of Jesus Christ and keep this word of faith!

When weakness or illness approaches, proclaim: He took my infirmities and bore my illnesses, and with His stripes I was healed. 

Lesson 11: Go through some darkness in your life.

Gen.1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

2 And the earth was formless and void, and darkness was upon the deep, and the Spirit of God hovered over the waters.

3 And God said, Let there be light. And there was light.

The earth remained formless and empty and darkness was upon the face of the deep until God spoke the Word. If you are in darkness and feel empty in your life, you need a Word from the Lord. 

The Bible says: Col. 1:13 who delivered us from the power of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of his beloved Son.

Receive this Word and say: God has delivered me from the power of darkness and brought me into the Kingdom of His Beloved Son.

1 John 4:4 Children! you are from God, and you have overcome them; for greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.

Say: I have overcome and He who is in me is greater than he who is in the world.

Ps.55:25 Cast your cares on the Lord, and He will support you. He will never allow the righteous to be shaken. 1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your cares on Him, for He cares for you.

Say: I cast all my worries on Him.

Luke 12:32 Fear not, little flock! for your Father has been pleased to give you the Kingdom.

2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and a sound mind.

Say: God has given me a spirit of no fear. I'm not afraid.

When we experience and feel or see that we are in darkness or in a problem, etc. we need a word. We need to speak the Word of God. 

When Jesus was tempted by the devil, He repelled him with the Word of God, speaking what is written. Matthew 4 ch. It is not written that man shall live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God, it is also written: Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God; Get thee behind Me, Satan, for it is written: Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and serve Him alone.

If God gives you the right, specific Word for your circumstances, believe that Word, accept It and speak It.

We need to implement this word. Accept and say this word until it becomes reality for you. And start giving thanks for what you expect.

Luke 18:1 He also told them a parable about how one should always pray and not lose heart,

2 saying: In a certain city there was a judge who did not fear God and was not ashamed of people.

3 In the same city there was a widow, and she came to him and said, Protect me from my adversary.

4 But for a long time he did not want to. And then he said to himself: although I am not afraid of God and I am not ashamed of people,

5 But since this widow does not give me peace, I will protect her so that she will not come to bother me anymore.

6 And the Lord said, Do you hear what the unjust judge says?

7 Will not God protect His chosen ones who cry out to Him day and night, although He is slow to protect them? I tell you that he will give them protection soon. But when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth? 

It is the will of the Lord that we have faith!

Mark 11:24 Therefore I say to you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you receive it, and it will be done for you. And when we pray, we must believe that we will receive and it will be for us!

When we say words (in everyday life), they act. The Word of God is true, it is alive and active.

Rom.10:8 But what does Scripture say? The word is close to you, in your mouth and in your heart, that is, the word of faith that we preach.

2 Corinthians 4:13 But having the same spirit of faith, as it is written: I believed, and therefore I spoke, and we believe, therefore we speak.

Even if a test of your faith comes, continue to believe and speak the Word of God.

Proclaim: God has delivered me from the power of darkness and brought me into the Kingdom of His Beloved Son. I have been delivered from the power of darkness, I am in the Kingdom of my Lord!

Lesson 12. Have faith in God

Mark 11:23 Have faith in God, for truly I say to you, if anyone says to this mountain, “Be taken up and thrown into the sea,” and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, whatever he says will be done for him.

We need to have faith. This is the command of the Lord: have faith of God. Jesus didn't say anything was impossible or something too difficult.

Mark 9:23 Jesus said to him, If you can believe as much as you can, all things are possible to him who believes. 24 And immediately the father of the lad exclaimed with tears: I believe, Lord! help my unbelief.

It's not God's fault if you don't have faith. If you have accepted unbelief, then you need to repent for it and reject unbelief and begin to believe.

How to have faith and where to get it?

Rom.10:17 Faith therefore comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Let's look from the beginning at the Word of God.

God created with the Word - Genesis 1

Noah - Gen.6:9 This is the life of Noah: Noah was a righteous man and blameless in his generation; Noah walked with God. Gen.6:22 And Noah did everything: as God commanded him, so did he.

Gen.7:5 Noah did everything the Lord commanded him. 

Noah walked with God and did everything as God commanded him. We also need to walk with God and do everything as He commands us!

Abraham - Gen.22:2,3 [God] said: Take your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac; and go to the land of Moriah and there offer him as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I will tell you. 3 Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took with him two of his servants and Isaac his son; He chopped wood for the burnt offering, and got up and went to the place that God had told him about.

Rom.4:3 For what does the Scripture say? Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.

Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness. We need to believe in His Word. It is the truth.

Joshua and Caleb, spies - Numbers 13-14 ch. But Caleb calmed the people before Moses, saying: Let us go and take possession of her, for we can overcome her. And Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb… said unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, The land which we passed through to inspect it was very, very good; if the Lord is merciful to us, he will lead us into this land and give it to us - this land in which milk and honey flow; only do not rebel against the Lord and do not fear the people of this land; for he will fall to us to be devoured: they have no protection, but the Lord is with us; don't be afraid of them. 

Joshua and Caleb believed God that He would lead them to the promised land and they spoke words of faith.

David and Goliath - 1 Samuel 17:36 Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear, and the same thing will happen to this uncircumcised Philistine as to them, because in this way the army of the living God is defied. 37 And David said, The Lord, which delivered me from the lion and the bear, will deliver me also from the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said to David, Go, and may the Lord be with you. ...today the Lord will deliver you into my hand...

David had words of faith.

Mary, Jesus’s mother - Luke 1:45 And blessed is she who believed, because what was spoken to her by the Lord will be fulfilled. She believed what God told her through the Angel.

Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please God; for he who comes to God must believe that He exists and is a rewarder of those who seek Him.

Joshua 1:8 Do not let this book of the law depart from your mouth; but study in it day and night, so that you do exactly everything that is written in it: then you will be successful in your ways and will act wisely.

Proverbs 4:20 My son! listen to my words, and incline your ear to my words; 21 Let them not depart from your sight; keep them within your heart: 22 for they are life to him who finds them, and health to his whole body.

Both in our heart and in our mouth there must be the Word of God.

Ps.119:97 How I love Your law! I think about it all day.

Let us believe the Word of God and meditate on It and proclaim It!

Say: I believe the Word of God! The Word of God is true!

Lesson 13. We have victory!

When a person does not have victory over sin, sin reigns, the enemy triumphs over his life! People can even say that if God wanted, He would have protected me, I would not have sinned. If it pleased Him, I would be strong in the Lord. This is my destiny. This is a lie.

Rom.6:12 Therefore let not sin reign in your mortal body, so that you obey it in its lusts

We have victory in the Lord!

1 Corinthians 15:57 Thanks be to God, who has given us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!

Col. 1:12,13 giving thanks to God the Father, who has called us to share in the inheritance of the saints in light, 13 who has delivered us from the power of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of his beloved Son

Luke 10:19 Behold, I give you power to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will harm you.

When the people of Israel entered the promised land, God said He would give them the land, but they had to believe it, fight and take the land. The Lord gave us the Word, let us dissolve Him by faith and implement His Word!

We need to confront the enemy of our soul: I am delivered from the power of darkness. I have victory! I declare victory over sin and us over the forces of the devil in my life! Get away from me Satan, I have victory! Thanks be to God, who has given me victory through my Lord Jesus Christ! I thank You, Heavenly Father, for my deliverance from the power of darkness and victory!

Perhaps our children or spouse do not have victory, the enemy prevails...

We do not need to wait, bending over the grave of our children or spouse saying: these are the mysterious ways of the Lord. These are not the ways of the Lord. He doesn't want anyone to die. He does not want the sinner to die. He wants to save. Jesus is the Savior. Satan is the destroyer.

We need to confront Satan and say to him: I declare victory in the life of my son, daughter, or spouse. Get away, get away from him/her. I thank You Lord for the victory in his/her life!

Continue to proclaim victory. Continue to thank God for your victory!

James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God; resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

1 John 4:4 Children! you are from God, and you have overcome them; for greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.

Proclaim and say: I have overcome because He who is in me is greater than he who is in the world!

Lesson 14. Keep what you have!

Rev.3:11 Behold, I am coming quickly; keep what you have, so that no one takes your crown.

What we have in the Lord, in His Word, which we have accepted, we need to keep!

The Word of God says: Col. 4:2 Be constant in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving.

Rom.12:12 Be comforted by hope; in sorrow [be] patient, constant in prayer

Eph.6:18 Pray at all times with every prayer and supplication in the Spirit

Jesus said: watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation: the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.

1 Peter 5:8 Be sober and watchful, because your adversary the devil walks around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.

Although the Lord has protected us and we are in His hands, we do not need to forget where we are and who is trying to dominate here on earth and who is the prince of this world. Jesus said: John 14:30 It is a little while now for me to speak with you; For the prince of this world comes and has nothing in Me. He's not shackled yet. He is here in peace. How did he deal with Our Lord?... Jesus said John 15:20 Remember the word that I said to you: A servant is not greater than his master. If they persecuted Me, they will persecute you too. Matthew 24:24 For false Christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. Hebrews 2:1 Therefore we must pay special attention to what we hear, lest we fall away. 

Start your day with prayer and the Word of God. During the day, continue to pray with your mind and spirit. And also continue to reason about His Word, fulfilling and applying It to your life! In the evening, give a special place to the Lord. It’s normal if you fall asleep praying, and begin praying when you wake up!

Hebrews 12:12 Strengthen therefore your weak hands and weak knees.

1 Corinthians 16:13 Watch, stand firm in the faith, be courageous, be strong.

If you have accepted the Word of the Lord, do not give up, do not let Him go, hold on to It in any circumstances of life. 

Hebrews 10:38 The righteous shall live by faith; but if [anyone] hesitates, My soul has no pleasure in him.

Rev. 2:10 ...Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.

Mark 13:13 And ye shall be hated of all for my name's sake; he who endures to the end will be saved.

Keep what you have: I am saved by the Lord. Jesus took my infirmities and bore my illnesses, and by His stripes I was healed. I have victory through my Lord Jesus Christ... Thank you Lord for salvation, for healing, for victory...

Lesson 15: Confront Doubt!

James 1:6-8 But let him ask in faith, without doubting in the least, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, tossed and tossed by the wind.

7 Let such a man not think that he will receive anything from the Lord.

8 A double-minded person is not steadfast in all his ways.

Luke 1:18 And Zechariah said to the angel, By what shall I know this? for I am old, and my wife is advanced in years.

19 The angel answered and said to him: I am Gabriel, who stands before God, and was sent to speak with you and bring this good news to you; 20 And behold, you will remain silent and will not be able to speak until the day when these things come to pass, because you did not believe my words, which will come to pass in due time.

Zechariah had doubts: how do I know this? for I am old, and my wife is advanced in years.

When Peter walked on the water, Matthew 14:30, but seeing a strong wind, he was afraid and, beginning to drown, cried out: Lord! save me. 31 Jesus immediately stretched out his hand, supported him, and said to him, “You of little faith!” why did you doubt?

When the disciples were sailing on the boat, Mark 4:38,38 And He (Jesus) slept in the stern at the head. They wake him up and say to him: Teacher! Do You really not need that we perish? And, getting up, He rebuked the wind and said to the sea: be silent, stop. And the wind died down, and there was great silence. 40 And he said to them: Why are you so fearful? How do you have no faith?

The Bible encourages: Phil.2:14 Do everything without complaining or doubting...

Matt.13:19 To everyone who hears the word about the Kingdom and does not understand, the evil one comes and snatches away what is sown in his heart - this is what is sown along the way.

Doubt leads to lack of faith and unbelief. The evil one brings doubts. How to face doubts?

1 Peter 5:9 Resist him with firm faith, knowing that the same sufferings are happening to your brothers 

in the world.

If you want to receive something from the Lord, reject doubts!

Say: I reject doubt. The Word of God is true, no matter what. I believe in God's Word! He will fulfill His Word! Thank you Lord for Your Word!

Continue to stand on the foundation of His Word without doubt!

Lesson 16. This is what we have in Him!

Read Scriptures that will strengthen you in the Lord. They refer to us who believe in Jesus Christ. Read them like this: if they are written for us, then this applies to you personally!

In Him:

Col. 2:10 And you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.

Col.2:11 In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of sin of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ;

Col. 2:12 Having been buried with Him in baptism, you were raised again in Him through faith in the power of God, who raised Him from the dead,

1 Corinthians 1:5 For in Him you have been enriched in all things, in all speech and all knowledge

2 Corinthians 5:21 For He made Him who knew no sin for us to be sin, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.

2 Corinthians 13:4 For although He was crucified in weakness, He lives by the power of God; and we also, [although] we are weak in Him, yet we will live with Him by the power of God in you.

Eph.1:4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him in love,

Eph.1:11 In Him we also became heirs, having been predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will,

Eph.4:21 because you have heard about Him and learned from Him, just as the truth is in Jesus

Col. 1:19 For it pleased [the Father] that in Him all fullness should dwell

In Me (Jesus Christ):

John 15:4 Abide in Me, and I in you. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it is in the vine, so neither can you unless you are in Me.

John 6:56 He who eats My Flesh and drinks My Blood abides in Me, and I in him.

In Whom:

Eph.1:7 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace,

Eph.3:12 in whom we have confidence and secure access through faith in Him.

Col. 1:14 In whom we have redemption through His blood and the forgiveness of sins,

Col.2:3 In whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

In Christ:

Romans 3:24 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus

Rom.6:11 Likewise, count yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Rom.6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Rom.8:1 There is now therefore no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit,

Rom.8:2 because the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death.

Rom.8:39 Neither height nor depth, nor anything else in creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

1 Corinthians 1:4 I thank my God continually for you, because of the grace of God which was given to you in Christ Jesus

1 Corinthians 1:30 From him you are also in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption.

2 Corinthians 1:21 Now He who establishes you and me in Christ and anoints us [is] God

2 Corinthians 2:14 But thanks be to God, who always causes us to triumph in Christ and spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of Himself to us in every place.

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the ancient has passed away, now everything is new.

2 Corinthians 5:19 For God in Christ reconciled the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against [people], and gave us the word of reconciliation.

Gal.3:28 There is no longer Jew, nor Gentile; there is neither slave nor free; there is neither male nor female: for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

Eph.1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ

Eph.2:6 and raised him up with him, and seated him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

Eph.2:7 that in the coming ages he might show forth the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

Eph.2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to walk in.

Eph.2:13 But now in Christ Jesus you, who once were far off, have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

Eph.3:6 that the Gentiles also may be fellow heirs, being one body, and partakers of His promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel

With Christ:

Rom.6:8 But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with Him,

Ephesians 2:5 and made us alive together with Christ when we were dead in trespasses—by grace you have been saved

Col.3:1 If therefore you have been raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sits at the right hand of God;

Col.3:3 For you are dead, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

In God:

1 John 4:15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.

In the Lord

Phil.4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always; and again I say: rejoice.

Phil.4:1 Therefore, my beloved and longed for brethren, my joy and crown, stand steadfast in the Lord, beloved.

Eph.5:8 You were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord: walk as children of light

Eph.2:20 ...being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone, 21 in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, 22 in which you also are being built into a habitation of God. Spirit. 

Zechariah 10:12 I will strengthen them in the Lord, and they will walk in His name, says the Lord.

Based on the Word of God, declare: God has made me alive with Christ and by grace I am saved. I was resurrected by faith in the power of God! I am the light in the Lord! I am His workmanship created in Christ Jesus! He has become to me wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption! He raised me up with Him, and seated me in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus! Neither death, nor life, nor Angels, nor Principalities, nor Powers, nor the present, nor the future, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature can separate me from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord! He always allows me to triumph in Christ and spreads the fragrance of knowledge of Himself to us in every place. 

Every day proclaim what we have in our Lord Jesus Christ!

Lesson 17. Take the shield of faith.

We went through Lesson 7, Be strong in the Lord and in the might of His might! There we read about putting on the whole armor of God - Eph. Chapter 6 We need to have all the weapons of God! We must be girded with the truth; clothed in the breastplate of righteousness; shod to preach peace; have the shield of faith; the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God and pray in the Spirit. 

Eph.6:16 And above all, take up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one

Most of all, you need to take the shield of faith. What does the shield do? It can protect the entire body: our head, heart, arms, legs, etc. So in spiritual life, the shield of faith is the barrier that protects our mind, our eyes, our ears, our heart and our spirit from the fiery arrows of the evil one. The shield protects us from those bad thoughts and desires that the devil sends. The devil shoots arrows so that a person will allow offense, irritation, despondency, doubt, unbelief, and various sins. The shield of faith protects our feet so we can walk in the Lord. He protects our hands so we can do the works of God. 

Ps.119:114 You are my covering and my shield; I trust in Your word. Psalm 18:35 You have given me the shield of Your salvation, and Your right hand upholds me, and Your mercy makes me great.

Isaiah 26:3 You will keep him who is strong in spirit in perfect peace, for he trusts in You.

Most of all we need the shield of faith. 1 Peter 5:9 Resist him with firm faith, knowing that the same sufferings are happening to your brothers in the world. Hebrews 10:22 Let us draw near with a sincere heart in full faith...

We need firm and complete faith! And we need the shield of faith!

Proclaim: Above all, I take the shield of faith, with which I can quench all the fiery arrows of the evil one. 

Pray in the Spirit at all times!

Of course, having the shield of faith, you need to stay awake. Jesus said: Mark 14:38 Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation: the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. Don't leave behind the whole armor of God!

Stand in the Lord, stand in faith! Hold the shield of faith!

Lesson 18. Whatever you say will happen to you!

We read Mark 11:23 Have the faith of God, for truly I say to you, if anyone says to this mountain, “Be taken up and thrown into the sea,” and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, whatever he says will be done for him. .

Jesus here specifically spoke about the faith of God: if anyone speaks and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, whatever he says will be done for him.

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.

I remember I was at the airport in Florida and a message came that the flight was being rescheduled and I would not be able to catch another flight because I had to have a layover in Atlanta. I was supposed to fly with my son. I reported this to Delta Airlines. The company representative replied that due to the hurricane, the flight was postponed, and you may have to fly tomorrow... She said that the plane that was supposed to fly earlier would be departing soon, and she would put us on the waiting list (on hold), and we would be able to fly , if there are places. She told me to go there and look at the screen where our names should appear... I looked at the screen. I saw that there were 3 empty seats. On the screen there was a list of people who were waiting like me. Then our names appeared on the screen. I looked either at the people in the hall, it was clear that the flight was crowded, or at the screen. I understood that our chance to fly on this plane was small. I said: I will fly on this plane. I said several times: I will fly on this plane. These were words of faith. After that, everything quickly began to change. Our names and my son’s were no longer on the screen. They started boarding passengers, but they told me to wait. Here they call our names with our son and seat us in a comfort zone. All glory to our Lord! He teaches us in different circumstances! God bless!

The Lord can also test your faith and the result may come after some period of time. The main thing is that if you said something, do not doubt in your heart, but believe that according to your words it will come true. Do not try to believe and say what the Word of God does not say or what does not completely correspond to His will. Do everything for the glory of God, and not to show off. 

If the Word of God speaks to you or God puts it on your heart to say something, speak it and don’t hesitate!

It happens that a person allows doubt, believing and speaking, and it comes true.

2 Kings 7:1 And Elisha said, Hear the word of the Lord: Thus saith the Lord: Tomorrow at this time a measure of fine flour [will be] for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel at the gate of Samaria.

2 And the dignitary, on whose hand the king leaned, answered the man of God, and said: Even if the Lord opened the windows in heaven, then could this be? And he said: You will see with your eyes, but you will not eat it. This is the sentence a man received for disbelief.

The people of Israel, from twenty years old and above, who came out of the land of Egypt, did not enter the promised land because of unbelief, except Joshua and Caleb. We need to trust the Word of God! 

Believe God's Word and speak as It says!

1 Peter 4:11 If anyone speaks, [speak] as the words of God...

He is true to His Word!

Believe the Words of Jesus Christ, they are true: have faith in God, for truly I say to you, if anyone says to this mountain, “Be taken up and thrown into the sea,” and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be for him that neither will he say. 

Lesson 19. I can do all things through Jesus who strengthens me!

Ap. Paul said Phil.4:13 I can do all things through Jesus Christ who strengthens me.

He could live in poverty, in abundance; I learned everything and in everything, to be satisfied and to endure hunger, to be both in abundance and in shortage. He learned to be happy with what he had. He said Phil.1:21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

Phil.3:7 But whatever was gain to me, I counted loss for Christ’s sake.

8 And I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish, that I may gain Christ

9 and be found in Him, not having your own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;

10 that we may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,

11 to achieve the resurrection of the dead.

12 [I say this] not because I have already achieved or perfected; but I strive, lest I attain as Christ Jesus attained me.

13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have attained; but only, forgetting what is behind and stretching forward,

14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Jesus said John 14:6 ...I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.

The Lord is our way - let us follow Him! He is the truth - let us trust Him! He is our life - may we live by Him!

May the Lord give us the boldness to say like the Apostle Paul: I can do all things through Jesus who strengthens me! Life for me is Christ! I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord!

Let us strive for the Lord, as He has reached us!

If we abide in the Lord and He in us, we can do anything with Him!

May God bless us all!

Lesson 20. So run to get it!

1 Corinthians 9:24 Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the reward? So run to get it.

1 Corinthians 9:26 And therefore I do not run as if to the wrong, I do not fight so as to only beat the air; 27 But I subdue and enslave my body, so that, having preached to others, I myself would not remain unworthy.

The Lord has given us a great commission. 

Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; and whoever does not believe will be condemned.

Matthew 28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen.

Talk about the Lord to your family, friends, loved ones, neighbors and wherever you can. Now is the favorable time, now is the day of salvation. Bring the Good News!

Serve the Lord with the abilities and gifts that you have. 

1 Corinthians 14:26 So what, brethren? When you come together, and each of you has a psalm, there is a teaching, there is a tongue, there is a revelation, there is an interpretation - let all this be for edification.

Col.3:17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, [do] all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

What does the Lord promise and prepare for those who love Him and are faithful to Him?

James 1:12 Blessed is the man who endures temptation, for when he is tried he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written, “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor entered into the heart of man the things that God has prepared for those who love Him.”

Rev. 2:10 ...Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.

Every day try to do something for the glory of God!

Lesson 21. All glory belongs to the Lord!

Isaiah 42:8 I am the Lord, this is My name, and I will not give My glory to another, nor My praise to graven images.

Isaiah 48:11 For My own sake, for My own sake, I do this, for what reproach would there be [against My name]! I will not give My glory to anyone else.

Matthew 6:13 For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

Glory belongs only to God! She is His!

1 Timothy 1:17 To the King of the ages, the incorruptible, invisible, the only wise God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

Phil.4:20 To God and our Father be glory forever and ever! Amen.

Ps.106:1 Praise the Lord, for He is good, for His mercy endures forever!

Ps.50:23 Whoever sacrifices praise honors Me, and whoever watches his way, I will show God’s salvation to him

1 Thessalonians 5:18 In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Col.4:2 Be constant in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving.

Sometimes a person wants to be praised for singing or preaching... At least a little. We often hear singing and after singing people say: “Glory to the Lord!” With this we give Glory to the Lord. Although we are filled with His presence and grace, the glory belongs to the Lord alone! May He be glorified through us. Thank God!

1 Corinthians 15:57 Thanks be to God, who has given us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!

1 Corinthians 10:31 Therefore, whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God.

We see from the scriptures that we must thank the Lord in prayer for victory, and everything we do must be done for the glory of God!

Proverbs 16:18 Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

James 4:6 But grace gives all the more; That is why it is said: God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

Daniel 4:26 And at the end of twelve months, walking about in the royal palaces of Babylon,

27 The king said, “Is this not majestic Babylon, which I have built for the house of the kingdom by the power of my might and for the glory of my majesty!”

28 While this speech was still in the mouth of the king, a voice came from heaven: “They say to you, King Nebuchadnezzar: The kingdom has departed from you!

29 And they will separate you from men, and your dwelling will be with the beasts of the field; They will feed you grass like an ox, and seven times will pass over you until you know that the Most High rules over the kingdom of man and gives it to whomever He wants!”

34 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise, exalt and magnify the King of heaven, whose works are true and his ways are righteous, and who is able to humble those who walk proudly.

Acts 12:23 But suddenly an angel of the Lord struck him because he did not give glory to God; and he, having been eaten by worms, died

Even if we have success in faith, or everything works out for us, we must give all the glory to God! She belongs to Him! He is our Father! He is everything in everything!

Luke 17:10 So you also, when you have done all that was commanded you, say: We are worthless servants, because we have done what we had to do.

Our life should be only for the glory of God, not for our glory and praise.

Open 4:11 And when the living creatures give glory and honor and thanksgiving to him who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever,

10 Then the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne, and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and lay down their crowns before the throne, saying:

11 You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for You created all things, and [everything] exists and was created by Your will.

As you begin your day, glorify the Lord, thank Him and praise Him! Thank and praise Him day, evening and night! He is worthy to be praised!

Lesson 22. The power of the believer!

First of all, we are in the Lord! He's a winner. He conquered the world. John 16:33 These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but take heart: I have overcome the world . Let us walk in Him! Phil.4:13 I can do all things through Jesus Christ who strengthens me. We will win by remaining in the Lord! Col. 2:10 And you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.

John 1:12 And to those who received Him, to those who believed on His name, He gave power to become children of God

The Lord has given us the power to be children of God!

Luke 10:19 Behold, I give you power to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will harm you.

Matthew 10:1 And He called His twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.

Col. 1:13 who delivered us from the power of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of his beloved Son

1 John 5:4 For everyone who is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world, our faith.

Rev.12:11 They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and did not love their own lives even to death.

1 Corinthians 15:57 Thanks be to God, who has given us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!

Rev. 3:21 To him who overcomes I will give to sit with Me on My throne, just as I also overcame and sat with My Father on His throne.

1 John 4:4 Children! you are from God, and you have overcome them; for greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.

1 John 2:14 I have written to you, fathers, because you have known the One without beginning. I wrote to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

1 Peter 5:8 Be sober and watchful, because your adversary the devil walks around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. 9 Resist him with firm faith , knowing that the same sufferings are happening to your brothers in the world.

Eph.6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the might of His might .

11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil,

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in high places.

13 For this purpose take on the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to withstand on the evil day and, having done everything, to stand .

Phil.4:13 I can do all things through Jesus Christ who strengthens me.

Rom.16:20 But the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet quickly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with you! Amen.

Eph.3:20 But to him who, by the power that works in us, is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, 21 To him be glory in the church in Christ Jesus to all generations, from everlasting to everlasting. Amen.

Lesson 23. God is love!

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

1 John 4:10 This is love, not that we loved God, but He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

1 John 3:1 See what kind of love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God. The world does not know us because it has not known Him.

1 John 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.

1 John 4:8 He who does not love does not know God, because God is love.

John 13:34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, [so] let you also love one another.

1 John 4:7 Beloved! let us love one another, because love is from God, and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.

John 15:9 As the Father has loved Me, I have loved you; abide in My love.

Eph.2:4 God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,

5 And he made us alive together with Christ, who were dead in trespasses; by grace you have been saved,

6 and raised him up with him, and seated him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

7 that in the ages to come he might show forth the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

1 John 4:19 Let us love Him, because He first loved us.

Rom.5:5 But hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

Rom.5:8 But God demonstrates His love for us in that Christ died for us while we were still sinners.

Rom.8:35 Who will separate us from the love of God: tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or the sword? as written:

36 For Your sake they kill us every day; they count us as sheep [doomed] to the slaughter.

37 But we overcome all these things through the power of Him who loved us.

38 For I am confident that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, neither the present nor the future,

39 Neither height nor depth, nor anything else in creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Jer.31:3 The Lord appeared to me from afar and said, “I have loved you with an everlasting love, and therefore I have shown favor to you.”

The Lord loved me and sent His Son to be the propitiation for my sins. He loved me so that I could be called and be a child of God! Neither death, nor life, nor Angels, nor Principalities, nor Powers, nor the present, nor the future, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature can separate me from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord! The love of God was poured into my heart by the Holy Spirit!

Lesson 24. Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law.

Gal.3:13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us - for it is written, Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree -

14 so that the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith. (to redeem - to redeem, to redeem)

Deut.27:26 Cursed be he who does not keep the words of this law and does not walk in them! And all the people will say: Amen. (on Mount Ebal)

Deuteronomy 28:15 If you do not listen to the voice of the Lord your God and do not be diligent to do all His commandments and His statutes that I command you today, then all these curses will come upon you and overtake you.

Health - Curse on the fruit of the womb, pestilence, stunting, fever, inflammation, Egyptian leprosy, scabs, scabies, madness, blindness, numbness of the heart, evil leprosy on the knees and shins from the sole of the foot to the crown of the head.

Prosperity - A curse on barns, storehouses, in the city, on the field, at the entrance, at the exit, sweeping away, misfortune in every matter, until you are destroyed, you will not have success in your ways.

We have been delivered from the curse of the law that was affecting our health and well-being... We are redeemed! We need to believe this Word. We need to continue to remain and abide in Jesus Christ and not be subjected to the yoke of slavery again! 

If we have committed unbelief, we need to repent of it. Perhaps we were afraid that something would happen in our lives and it happened. If we doubted the Word of God or simply acted like other people who do not know God, and not according to the Word of God, we need to repent for it. We do not need to be indifferent to the Word of God. We are delivered from the curse of the law!

Isaiah 53:4 But He took upon Himself our infirmities and bore our sorrows

2 Peter 1:3 How His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and goodness

Rom.7:6 ​​But now, having died to the law by which we were bound, we have been freed from it, that we might serve God in the newness of the spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

Rom.8:1 Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit, 2 because the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

Hebrews 10:16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their hearts, and write them on their minds,

17 And their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

18 But where there is forgiveness of sins, there is no need for an offering for them.

19 Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter into the sanctuary through the blood of Jesus Christ, in a new and living way,

20 which He revealed to us again through the veil, that is, His flesh,

21 and [having] a great priest over the house of God,

22 Let us approach with a sincere heart in full faith, having cleansed our hearts from an evil conscience by sprinkling and washing our bodies with clean water,

23 Let us hold fast the confession of hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.

I have been redeemed by the curse (curse) of the law, so that the blessing of Abraham may extend to me!

I am freed from the curse that encroaches on my health and well-being! By the stripes of Jesus Christ I was healed! From Divine power I have been given everything I need for life and piety! Glory and thanksgiving to the Lord! Hallelujah!

Lesson 25. Abide in the Lord and in His Word!

Dear friends, we need to abide in the Lord and in His Word! John 15:7 If you abide in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. Our life is in Him, our joy is in Him and our unity is in Him! We are the light of the Lord! In the Lord Jesus Christ we are a new creation! John 15:5 ... for without Me you can do nothing. Phil.4:13 I can do all things through Jesus Christ who strengthens me.

John 15:4 Abide in Me, and I in you. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it is in the vine, so neither can you unless you are in Me.

Col.2:6 Therefore, just as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, [so] walk in Him,

7 being rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith as you were taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.

Phil.4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always; and again I say: rejoice.

Rom.6:11 Likewise, count yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Col.3:1 If therefore you have been raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sits at the right hand of God;

2 Set your mind on things above, not on earthly things.

3 For you are dead, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

4 When Christ your life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

Eph.5:8 You were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord: walk as children of light

Gal.6:15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is anything, but a new creation.

1 John 2:28 Therefore, children, abide in Him, so that when He appears, we may have boldness and not 

to be ashamed before Him at His coming.

beloved.

John 17:21 that they may all be one, just as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You, [so] that they also may be one in Us - yes

Learn it by heart. This is what we have in Jesus Christ our Lord, with Christ, giving thanks to God the Father! God bless!

From Him I also am in Christ Jesus, who became to me wisdom from God, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption! I have been crucified with Christ! I am dead to sin, alive to God in Christ my Lord! I died, and my life is hidden with Christ in God! God raised me up and seated me in heavenly places in Christ Jesus! I am the light in the Lord! The grace of God has been given to me in Christ Jesus! I am complete in Him! There is no condemnation for me as I live in Christ Jesus in the Spirit, because the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death! Neither death, nor life, nor Angels, nor Principalities, nor Powers, nor the present, nor the future, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature can separate me from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord! But thanks be to God, who always allows me to triumph in Christ and spreads the fragrance of knowledge of Himself to us in every place! In Christ I am a new creation! In Him I have redemption through His Blood, forgiveness of sins according to the riches of His grace! In Him I have confidence and secure access through faith in Him! Christ has redeemed me from the curse (oath) of the law! Jesus took upon ourselves our infirmities and bore our illnesses, and by His stripes we were healed! Thanks be to God, who has granted me victory through our Lord Jesus Christ! God made me alive with Christ and by grace I am saved!

Lesson 26. If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation!

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the ancient has passed away, now everything is new.

Eph.2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to walk in.

Eph.2:15 Having abolished hostility in His flesh, and the law of commandments by doctrine, in order that out of the two He might create in Himself one new man, making peace,

Col. 3:10 and having put on the new one, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of Him who created it.

Eph.4:24 And put on the new man, created according to God in righteousness and true holiness.

1 Peter 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow to salvation;

We are new creations created in Christ Jesus. Perhaps the enemy will try to remind you of what you did before or will tempt you with sin and you will need to reflect that with the Word of God. 

Now, I am a new creation created in Christ Jesus! I have the victory given by the Lord Jesus. This is what the Lord delivered me from! I am dead to sin, alive to God in Christ Jesus my Lord! I am justified by the Blood of Jesus Christ! In Jesus Christ I have redemption through His blood and forgiveness of sins. Who is in me greater than who is in the world! I am free from sin and a slave to righteousness! God delivered me from the power of darkness! I am free from sin by the Blood of Jesus Christ! Hallelujah! God bless!

Lesson 27. This is what we can do in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the name of Jesus Christ!

John 14:13 And if you ask the Father anything in My name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

John 15:16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name, He may give it to you.

John 16:23 And in that day you will not ask Me anything. Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give it to you.

John 16:26 In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not tell you that I will ask the Father for you: 27 For the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and believed that I came from God.

John 20:31 These things are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and by believing you may have life in His name.

1 John 3:23 And this is His commandment, that we believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as He commanded us.

1 John 5:13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that if you believe on the Son of God you have eternal life.

Rom.1:5 through whom we have received grace and apostleship, that in His name we might bring all nations under faith,

Eph.5:20 Giving thanks always for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Col.3:17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, [do] all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

1 Corinthians 6:11 And such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

Acts 3:6 But Peter said, I have no silver or gold; and what I have, I give it to you: in the name of Jesus Christ 

O Nazarite, arise and walk. Acts 3:16 And because of the faith in His name, His name has strengthened him whom you see and know, and the faith that is from Him has given him this healing before you all. Acts 4:10 Let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him he has been set before you in health.

Acts 14:8 At Lystra a certain man, who had no use of his legs, sat, lame from his mother's womb, and had never walked.

9 He listened to Paul speak, who, looking at him and seeing that he had faith to receive healing,

10 He said with a loud voice, “I say to you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, stand upright on your feet.” And he immediately jumped up and began to walk.

Mark 16:17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues;

Acts 16:18 She did this for many days. Paul, indignant, turned and said to the spirit: in the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her. And [the spirit] came out at that very hour.

Phil.2:9 Therefore God has highly exalted Him and given Him the name that is above every name,

10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

In the name of Jesus Christ we ask God the Father. We thank God in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We believe in the name of Jesus Christ and have eternal life. We are justified by His name. Everything we do, in word or deed, we must do in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Through His name it is given to conquer all nations to faith. In the name of Jesus Christ we can command. In the name of Jesus Christ we can cast out demons and speak in new tongues.

John 16:23 And in that day you will not ask Me anything. Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give it to you.

Lesson 28. What should be our attitude towards Jesus Christ! Who is Jesus Christ for us?

John 14:6 Jesus said to him: I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.

Eph.4:21 Because you have heard about Him and learned from Him, just as the truth is in Jesus,

Phil.1:21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

Col.3:4 When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

John 15:4 Abide in Me, and I in you. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it is in the vine, so neither can you unless you are in Me.

John 15:5 I am the vine, and you are the branches; He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

Col.2:6 Therefore, just as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, [so] walk in Him,

7 being rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith as you were taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.

Gal.2:20 And it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

Phil.3:8 And I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish, that I may gain Christ

2 Thessalonians 1:12 May the name of our Lord Jesus Christ be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Col. 1:27 To whom God has been pleased to show what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory,

Luke 2:11 For today a Savior has been born to you in the city of David, who is Christ the Lord;

Eph.5:23 Christ is the head of the Church, and He is the Savior of the body

1 Corinthians 8:6 But we have one God the Father, from whom are all things, and we are to Him, and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we through Him.

1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

John 10:11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

2 Timothy 4:22 The Lord Jesus Christ is with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.

Eph.2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to walk in.

Phil.2:5 For let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus:

1 Corinthians 1:9 God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

2 Peter 3:18 But grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

1 John 1:3 What we have seen and heard we declare to you, so that you also may have fellowship with us: and our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.

Rom.13:14 But put on our Lord Jesus Christ, and do not turn the cares of the flesh into lusts.

1 Corinthians 16:22 If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be anathema, maranatha.

Phil.2:9 Therefore God has highly exalted Him and given Him the name that is above every name,

10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Jesus is the way, the truth and the life! He is our Lord and Savior! He is our Shepherd! He is the head of the Church! He is a mediator between God and people! 

Christ in us, the hope of glory! We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus!

No one can come to God, the Father, except through Him. Without Him we cannot do anything. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. We must have such feelings as are in Christ Jesus!

We need to love our Lord Jesus Christ. We need to abide in Him! The name of our Lord Jesus Christ must be glorified in us! Jesus must live in us! We need to walk in Him! We must have the kind of mind that is in Christ Jesus! By God we have been called into the fellowship of His Son Jesus Christ, our Lord! We need to grow in grace and the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! To him be glory, both now and to the day of eternity! Our fellowship is with the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ! We need to put on our Lord Jesus Christ! Jesus Christ must be with our spirit! Therefore God has highly exalted Him and given Him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father! God bless!

Lesson 29. About the necessity of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

Luke 3:16 John answered everyone, “I baptize you with water, but one mightier than me is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to untie; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

Acts 1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the ends of the earth.

John 7:38 Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture says, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water. 39 These things He said concerning the Spirit, which those who believed on Him were about to receive: for the Holy Spirit was not yet given to them, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever, 17 The Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; and you know Him, for He abides with you and will be in you.

John 14:26 But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things and remind you of everything that I have said to you.

John 15:26 When the Comforter comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me.

John 16:13 When He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth: for He will not speak of Himself, but whatever He hears He will speak, and He will tell you things to come.

Acts 2:18 And on My servants and on My handmaids in those days I will pour out My Spirit, and they will prophesy.

Acts 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy; and your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.

Eph.4:30 And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

Eph.5:18 And do not get drunk with wine, which causes debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit

Jude 1:20 But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit

Eph.6:18 Pray at all times with every prayer and supplication in the Spirit

1 Thess. 5:19 Do not quench the Spirit.

1 Corinthians 14:15 What should we do? I will begin to pray with the spirit, I will also pray with the mind; I will sing in the spirit, I will sing and 

mind.

2 Corinthians 13:13 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God the Father, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit with 

by all of you. Amen.

Gal.4:6 And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying: “Abba, Father!”

Rom.12:11 Do not slack in your zeal; be on fire in spirit; Serve the Lord;

John 4:24 God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth.

Rom.15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.

1 Corinthians 2:10 But God has revealed [this] to us by His Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.

1 Corinthians 2:12 But we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things freely given to us by God,

1 Corinthians 6:19 Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, which you have from God, and you are not your own?

Rom.5:5 But hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

Based on the Word of God:

Jesus is the baptizer with the Holy Spirit. A person receives power when the Holy Spirit descends on him. These are rivers of living water. It is the Comforter Spirit who teaches and reminds us. He is the Spirit of Truth. He testifies of Jesus Christ. From the Holy Spirit we prophesy, see visions and are enlightened by dreams. The Holy Spirit cries out "Abba, Father!" This is the Spirit of adoption. The Spirit searches the depths of God. We are the temple of the Holy Spirit. The love of God has been poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit. We need to be filled with the Holy Spirit! We need to pray with the Holy Spirit! You need to be on fire with the Spirit! We need to pray in the Spirit at all times! We need to have the fellowship of the Holy Spirit! We can sing by the Spirit! By the power of the Holy Spirit we are enriched with hope! We must not quench or offend the Holy Spirit!

Lesson 30. Do not become weak in faith.

Rom.4:19 And not having fainted in faith, he did not consider that his body, almost a hundred years old, was already dead, and the womb of Sarah was dead;

Hebrews 12:3 Consider Him who endured such reproach from sinners, lest you grow weary and faint in your souls.

Hebrews 11:13 All these died in faith, not receiving the promises, but only saw them from afar, and rejoiced, and said of themselves that they were strangers and strangers on the earth;

Hebrews 11:36 Others experienced insults and beatings, and also chains and prison,

37 were stoned, sawn apart, tortured, died by the sword, wandered in sheepskins and goatskins, suffering disadvantages, sorrows, and bitterness;

38 Those of whom the whole world was not worthy wandered through deserts and mountains, through caves and gorges of the earth.

39 And all these, which testified in faith, did not receive what was promised,

40 because God has provided something better for us, so that they would not be made perfect without us.

Hebrews 10:35 Therefore do not give up your hope, for it will have a great reward.

36 You need patience so that, having fulfilled the will of God, you receive what was promised;

37 For yet a little while, a very little, and the Coming One will come and will not tarry.

38 The righteous shall live by faith; but if [anyone] hesitates, My soul has no pleasure in him.

39 But we are not of those who waver to destruction, but we [stand] in faith for the salvation of our souls.

Even if we ask and do not receive, we must not lose faith. Sometimes the Lord answers immediately, and you immediately receive what you ask for. Sometimes you have to wait. Your faith is being tested. You need to pray and not lose heart and believe! Through this, your faith is strengthened if we continue to stand in faith! When Job's faith was tested, he said these words: And I know that my Redeemer lives, and on the last day He will raise this decaying skin of mine from the dust, and I will see God in my flesh. I will see Him myself; my eyes, not the eyes of another, will see Him. (Job 19:25-27) The Word of God remains true, we need to continue to stand in faith even until death. We need to continue to live by faith! There are times when God answers NO. Ap. Paul asked God three times to remove the thorn that was in his flesh, but the Lord said to Him: “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.” But we need to stand and abide in the Lord until the end! We don't need to waver with unbelief! He who endures to the end will be saved! We need to be faithful to Him to the end! The righteous will live by faith!

Memorize:

So do not abandon your hope, for which there is a great reward. You need patience so that, having fulfilled the will of God, you will receive what is promised; for a little while, a very little, and the Coming One will come and will not tarry. The righteous will live by faith; but if [anyone] hesitates, My soul has no pleasure in him. We are not one of those wavering to destruction, but we [stand] in faith for the salvation of our souls.

The Word of God is true! God will answer my need! I still believe God's Word!

Keep believing and keep declaring the Word of God! And if we wavered in faith somewhere, let us ask God for forgiveness and continue to stand in faith.

Lesson 31. Jesus Christ is with us!

Matthew 28:20 ...behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen

Hebrews 13:5... For He Himself said, I will never leave you nor forsake you,

6 So we say boldly: The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear: what will man do to me?

John 10:28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand.

John 10:14 I am the good shepherd; and I know Mine, and Mine know Me.

15 As the Father knows Me, [so] I also know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.

16 I have other sheep which are not of this fold, and these I must bring, and they will hear My voice, and there will be one flock and one shepherd.

He is the Vine and we are the branches. The branches are on the Vine. We are in Christ!

Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered in My name, there I am in the midst of them.

1 Thessalonians 5:28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

126. 2 Timothy 4:22 The Lord Jesus Christ is with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.

Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Jesus Christ is with me always, even to the end of the age. He will not leave or forsake me! No one will snatch me from His hand! I am His branch, and Jesus Christ is the Vine! Jesus is my Shepherd! When we gather in His name, He is in our midst! The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with us! Jesus Christ is with our spirit! Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever! Hallelujah! Glory to God, the Father in the name of my Lord Jesus Christ!

Lesson 32. Resist the devil with firm faith.

1 Peter 5:8 Be sober and watchful, because your adversary the devil walks around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.

9 Resist him with firm faith, knowing that the same sufferings are happening to your brothers in the world.

Mark 14:38 Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation: the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.

1 John 5:4 For everyone who is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world, our faith.

1 Corinthians 15:57 Thanks be to God, who has given us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!

1 John 4:4 Children! you are from God, and you have overcome them; for greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.

Eph.6:13 For this purpose take on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand on the evil day, and having done all, 

resist.

Eph.6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the might of His might.

11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil,

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in high places.

13 For this purpose take on the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to withstand on the evil day and, having done everything, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

15 And having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16 And above all, take up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery arrows of the evil one;

17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.

18 Make all prayers and supplications at all times in the Spirit, and be diligent about this very thing with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints

Gal.2:19 Through the law I died to the law, that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ,

20 And it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

Gal.5:24 But those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.

Rev. 12:11 They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and did not love their own lives 

even to death.

Rom.8:1 There is now therefore no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit,

2 because the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death.

An evil day comes in life when we need to resist the devil and sin with firm faith. We need to take on the whole armor of God. We need the shield of faith. We need to pray with the Spirit. We need to be strengthened in faith through the Word of God. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.

I take on the whole armor of God: having girded on the truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, the sandals of my feet being prepared to preach peace; above all, I take the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. Praying in spirit at all times. I resist the devil with firm faith! I defeat the enemy of the soul by the Blood of the Lamb and by the word of my testimony! I have redemption through the Blood of Christ and forgiveness of sins! I declare victory over the enemy and over sin! I have overcome because He who is in me is greater than he who is in the world. I have been crucified with Christ! I crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts! The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death! All glory to God in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ!

Lesson 33. The Word of God in the heart, on the lips, and before our eyes

Proverbs 4:20 My son! listen to my words, and incline your ear to my words;

21 Let them not depart from your sight; keep them inside your heart:

22 For they are life to the one who finds them, and health to his whole body.

23 Guard your heart above all else, for from it are the springs of life.

Iis. Joshua 1:8 Let not this book of the law depart from thy mouth; but study in it day and night, so that you do exactly everything that is written in it: then you will be successful in your ways and will act wisely.

Proverbs 22:17 Incline your ear and listen to the words of the wise, and turn your heart to my knowledge; 18 For it will be a comfort if you keep them in your heart, and they will also be in your mouth.

The Word of God is in our heart. 

When a person listens to the Word of God, he can put It in his heart. There is an opportunity to miss or not pay attention or not accept His Word. The Word of God must be kept in our hearts! Keep Him inside your heart!

Proverbs 3:1-8 My son! do not forget my instructions, and let your heart keep my commandments;

2 For length of days and years of life and peace they will add to you.

3 Do not let mercy and truth forsake you: tie them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart, 4 and you will find mercy and favor in the sight of God and men.

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.

6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths.

7 Do not be a wise man in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil:

8 This will be health for your body and nourishment for your bones.

The Word of God is in our mouths.

Iis. Joshua 1:8 Let not this book of the law depart from thy mouth; but study in it day and night, so that you do exactly everything that is written in it: then you will be successful in your ways and will act wisely. 

It must be in our mouths. It needs to be spoken and pronounced. Jesus said: Have faith in God, for truly I say to you, if anyone says to this mountain, “Be taken up and thrown into the sea,” and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, whatever he says will be done for him. Mar.11:23

The Word of God is before our eyes.

May they not leave your eyes! It's a must read! You need to see the result of the Word of God! Let it be before your eyes!

The result of the Word of God.

They are life to the one who finds them, and health to his whole body. You will be successful in your ways and will act wisely. For the length of days, years of life and peace they will add to you.

We must accept the Word of God as it is, neither adding nor subtracting from it. Do not rely on your feelings, desires, thoughts, words of other people, or other sources of information if this does not correspond to the Word of God!

May the Word of God be in our hearts, on our lips, before our eyes! Receive Him into your heart, speak Him, read Him. Let it be real before your eyes!

Lesson 34. Confession.

Confess - it is to speak/proclaim and acknowledge what is in your heart.

Confession of sins.

Proverbs 28:13 He who hides his crimes will not prosper; and whoever confesses and leaves them will have mercy.

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He, being faithful and righteous, will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

If we have sinned, we confess our sins.

Confession of Jesus Christ as Lord.

Rom.10:8-10 But what does Scripture say? The word is close to you, in your mouth and in your heart, that is, the word of faith that we preach.

9 For if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses unto salvation.

Hebrews 3:1 Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus Christ

We need to not be ashamed to confess Jesus as our Lord! In our lives, in prayers, in singing, we confess Jesus Christ as our Lord!

Confession of faith/confession of the Word of God.

Hebrews 10:19-23 Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter into the sanctuary through the blood of Jesus Christ in a new and living way,

20 which He revealed to us again through the veil, that is, His flesh,

21 and [having] a great priest over the house of God,

22 Let us approach with a sincere heart in full faith, having cleansed our hearts from an evil conscience by sprinkling and washing our bodies with clean water, 23 let us hold fast the confession of hope without wavering, for the Promised One is faithful.

Ps.119:147 I anticipate the dawn and cry; I trust in Your word.

It is very important what we say. Matthew 12:36,37 But I tell you that for every idle word that people speak, they will give an answer on the day of judgment: 37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.

Proverbs 6:2 You are entangled in the words of your mouth, caught in the words of your mouth.

Numbers 13:32 And those who went with him said: We cannot go against this people, for they are stronger than us.

This was said by the ten spies whom Moses sent to see the promised land.

Joshua 14:10,11 Now, behold, the Lord has kept me alive, as He said; Forty-five years have already passed from the time when the Lord spoke this word to Moses, and Israel walked in the wilderness; now, behold, I am eighty-five years old; 11 But now I am as strong as when Moses sent me: as much strength as I had then, so much strength do I have now to fight and to go out and in

These words were spoken by Caleb, one of the spies whom Moses sent.

Mark 11:23 Have faith in God, for truly I say to you, if anyone says to this mountain, “Be taken up and thrown into the sea,” and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, whatever he says will be done for him.

Matthew 8:17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet Isaiah, who said: He took upon Himself our infirmities and bore our sicknesses.

He took upon Himself our infirmities - they are on Him. He took them upon Himself! We need to take this word in our hearts and speak with our lips.

Don’t say that we are weak, infirm, and nothing will work out for us. Ap. Paul says that I can do all things through Jesus who strengthens me... Jesus took upon us our weaknesses!

Joshua 1:8 Do not let this book of the law depart from your mouth; but study in it day and night, so that you do exactly everything that is written in it: then you will be successful in your ways and will act wisely.

The Word of God must be spoken! It must be on our lips!

Lesson 35. Living according to the spirit.

1 Corinthians 15:45-49 Thus it is written: The first man Adam became a living soul; and the last Adam is the life-giving spirit.

46 But the spiritual is not first, but the natural, then the spiritual.

47 The first man is from the earth, earthy; the second person is the Lord from heaven.

48 As is the earthy, so are the earthy; and as is the heavenly, so are the heavenly.

49 And just as we have borne the image of earth, we will also bear the image of heaven.

Rome. 8:1,2 There is now therefore no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit,

2 because the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death.

We need to live by the spirit!

Rome. 8:8 Therefore those who live according to the flesh cannot please God.

What does it mean to live according to the flesh?

Gal. 5:16-21 I say, walk in the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the desires of the flesh,

17 For the flesh desires what is contrary to the spirit, and the spirit what is contrary to the flesh: they oppose each other, so that you do not do what you would like.

18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

19 The works of the flesh are known; they are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, quarrels, envy, anger, strife, disagreements, (temptations), heresies,

21 hatred, murder, drunkenness, disorderly conduct and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do this will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

How to live according to the spirit?

Gal. 5:22-25 And the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,

23 meekness, self-control. There is no law against them.

24 But those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.

25 If we live by the Spirit, we must walk by the Spirit.

We need to free ourselves from the works of the flesh and try to live according to the Spirit! The fruit is not a gift or a gift. It takes effort and work to grow it. May this fruit of the spirit grow in us!
