Using NKJV unless stated 1 Peter 2:24 by whose stripes you were healed Were = it’s already happened, it was done when Jesus died on the cross for you It’s time to believe you are well 1. People trust Doctor’s before they trust God Mk 5:26 Proverbs 3:5-6 James 1:16-18 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth “brought us forth” Greek word apokuéo means to produce, to breed. James is referring to our new birth, spiritual birth (eSword) John 1:13 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. “the word of truth” Jesus is the symbol of TRUTH John 14:6 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. Jesus is the one who sets us free John 8:31:32 31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” 2. IF YOU DON’T TRUST JESUS... YOU LOSE YOUR JOY HELPS Word study Joy Greek word chara (khar-ah’) Extend favor, joy (“grace recognised). Joy because of grace James 1:2-8 count it all joy when you fall into various trials; V5 any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, HELPS Word study Trials Greek word periasmos (pi-ras-mos’) Temptation or test (both senses can apply simultaneously) Test is the positive sense while temptation is the negative sense Being the functions of the context – not merely the words themselves Ephesians 2:19 James 1:2 NIV pure joy, “pure joy” = other translations use the word “All joy” Greek word for all is pas means – all, the whole, every kind of James is telling us not to fake it... make it the real deal, put your heart into it Nehemiah 8:10 for the joy of the Lord is your strength Mark 4:15 When they hear, Satan comes immediately and takes away the word James 1:12-16 v13 Let no one say “I am tempted by God”; nor does He Himself tempt anyone. v14tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. v15 desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; 3. You Sow what you Reap Galatians 6:7-8 a man sows, he will also reap. Sow means through the idea of extending; to scatter. Like a farmer who sows his crop Reap means to receive a thing by way of reward or punishment, harvest Then he said to them, “Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for Whatever you put out, you get back – if you do bad, then people respond and do bad to you If you are nice to people than people are nice to you Sayings that sum up Sowing & Reaping - You can’t have your cake and eat it too What goes around comes aroun You’re not always the one the sows and reaps John 4:35-38 v36 he who reaps receives wages, gathers fruit for eternal life, he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. Both the sower and reaper receive the reward – eternal life Beinging the sower involves a lot of trust in the Lord to know another person will come and finish what you started. The sower may never see the fruit of his labour but receives payment for his part. Proverbs 11:18 AMP Matthew 21:21 AMPC  

Origins & Influences – “If God is a God of love, why is there so much evil and suffering in the world?” God is NEVER under any circumstances the author of evil! 1 Jn 1:5 God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. {Note: 2 Cor 6:14 “... what fellowship has light with darkness?”} James 1:13-15 Jer 7:30-31 AMPC nor did it come into My mind or heart. {See also JER 19:5, JER 32:35.} God did not, cannot, and does not ever conceive evil in his heart or mind. God is the Author of all that is good Deut 32:3-4 NKJV Matt 5:43-45 For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. JAS 1:16-17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, Rom 10:12 AMPC He generously bestows His riches upon all who call upon Him [in faith]. The Kingdom of Darkness Adam handed over the authority of the “kingdoms of the world” and Satan became “the god of this world” (2 Cor 4:4). Luke 4:1-6 authority and their glory, for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whom I will. Delivered - 3860 paradídōmi – properly, to give (turn) over; “hand over from,” i.e. to deliver over with a sense of close (personal) involvement. {Note: Berean Study Bible – “relinquished”} 1 Jn 5:19 EPH 6:10-13 the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, Wrestle: 3823 pálē – a wrestling bout: in which each opponent endeavours to throw the other, and which is decided when the victor is able to hold his opponent down with his hand upon his neck. John 10:10 The devil doesn’t necessarily have to be present to kill steel and destroy... Matt 13:24-25 If the devil has had the opportunity to plant his seeds of destruction into our hearts, we can experience the evil manifestation of his kingdom without him even being present at the time. The Evil Nature of Fallen Man Fallen man has taken on the nature of their father – the devil – so that humanity is capable of unspeakable perversion, and of inflicting the most unimaginable atrocities upon other people. Gen 6:5,6 ESV every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. John 8:44 You are of your father the devil, Eph 2:1-3 the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience Rom 1:29,30 ESV inventors of evil Matthew 18:7 NIV the man through whom they come! Believers can also be influenced by the devil in their words and actions. Mark 8:33 “Get behind me, Satan! Acts 5:3 NIV how is it that Satan has so filled your heart Becoming a Target for by Standing for Righteousness Ps 34:19 2 Tim 3:12 Sowing & Reaping We must face the fact that whether we like it or not, we reap what we sow... the consequences of both what we do, and what we leave undone. GAL 6:7-8 JAS 4:17 Time & Chance Ecc 9:11 time and chance happen to them all. Luke 13:1-5 God is at work in you HEB 13:20 may he work in us what is pleasing to him, PHIL 2:12 works in you God always has our best interests at heart ROM 8:28-29 YLT because ROM 8:31-39 HEB 13:5 John 10:27-29 JER 29:11

Ps Dean leads Sandy and Glenys in today's (25/07/2021) bible study from the comfort and warmth of Sandy's lounge room. Notes for today's study.... Jn 16:8 ESV And when he comes [“the Spirit of truth” – see Jn 15:26], he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment... HELPS Word-studies: “Convict” – greek ‘elégxō’ – to convince with solid, compelling evidence, especially to expose. The Holy Spirit creates inner conviction in those who don’t know God by acting upon their conscience to expose sin and guilt, bring conviction concerning judgement for ungodliness, and compelling them to seek righteousness. This work of Grace by the Holy Spirit is intended to lead people to repentance so that they might be saved. 2 Pet 3:9 ESV The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. 1 Tim 2:1-4 ESV First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, 2for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. 3This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Saviour, 4who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. Isaiah 55:7 ESV ... let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the LORD, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For the believer, the Holy Spirit will also bring conviction of sin to lead us to repentance, but He also gives us the inner conviction of righteousness – affirmation of being in right standing with God. Romans 8:16 ESV The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God Confidence Before God 1 Jn 3:19-24 ESV By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before him; 20for whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything. 21Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God; 22and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him. The Voice of Conscience 2 Cor 1:12 ESV For our boast is this, the testimony of our conscience, that we behaved in the world with simplicity and godly sincerity, not by earthly wisdom but by the grace of God, and supremely so toward you. Strong’s Concordance: “Testimony” – greek ‘marturion’ – “witness, evidence, testimony, proof”. Sin Consciousness Heb 10:1-2 ESV For since the law has but a shadow of the good things to come instead of the true form of these realities, it can never, by the same sacrifices that are continually offered every year, make perfect those who draw near. 2Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, since the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have any consciousness of sins? Seared Conscience 1 Tim 4:1-2 ESV Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, 2through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared... Good Conscience 1 Tim 1:5 AMPC Whereas the object and purpose of our instruction and charge is love, which springs from a pure heart and a good (clear) conscience and sincere (unfeigned) faith. 1 Tim 1:18-19 ESV This charge I entrust to you, Timothy, my child, in accordance with the prophecies previously made about you, that by them you may wage the good warfare, 19holding faith and a good conscience. By rejecting this, some have made shipwreck of their faith... “Good Conscience”: Biblico-Theological Lexicon of New Testament Greek, “The word [“good”] expresses in its use... that the thing spoken of is perfect in its kind, so as to produce pleasure, satisfaction, and a sense of well-being. The fundamental conception of the word is that of well-being, pleasure.” 1 Cor 4:3-4 ESV But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by any human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself. 4For I am not aware of anything against myself, but I am not thereby acquitted. It is the Lord who judges me. Acts 24:14-16 ESV But this I confess to you, that according to the Way, which they call a sect, I worship the God of our fathers, believing everything laid down by the Law and written in the Prophets, 15having a hope in God, which these men themselves accept, that there will be a resurrection of both the just and the unjust. 16So I always take pains to have a clear conscience toward both God and man. Cleansed Hearts Heb 9:11-14 ESV But when Christ appeared as a high priest... he entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption. 13For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the sprinkling of defiled persons with the ashes of a heifer, sanctify for the purification of the flesh, 14how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God. Heb 10:19-22 ESV Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, 20by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, 21and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Heb 4:14-16 ESV Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. 1 Jn 1:9 AMPC If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just (true to His own nature and promises) and will forgive our sins [dismiss our lawlessness] and [continuously] cleanse us from all unrighteousness [everything not in conformity to His will in purpose, thought, and action].
