A DAY OF PRAYER’s Morning Bible Study

Morning Bible Study ~ In our relationship with the Holy Spirit, we should be listening for his specific voice, not just something that tells us to do what we feel is right or what we think is right; because we know the devil comes as an angel of light. He always brings about peace; a peace beyond understanding. So there was 40 people set out to kill or eliminate Paul. And there was clearly a lot o...

Morning Bible Study ~ You have been given the same opportunity or opportunities to exercise your faith and demonstrate your obedience to the Lord and His plan. Also, rest assured the Lord said what He said. He's still going to bring it to pass whether you choose to do your part or you don't. Those mentioned in Scripture, had to walk through their life just like we do today. And as they listened to...

Morning Bible Study ~ Realize that God always upholds His Word and the vessels that He chooses. He knows what He's doing for and in those people; and that He wants to give everyone an opportunity to come to Him. Our business is to keep our eyes on the Lord and He chooses the vessels he wants to use, when He wants to use them for His Glory. We have to choose Him; and choose to remain with Him, demo...

Morning Bible Study ~ Jesus didn't come to, to just prove out that he was right from the beginning. He always sought to be righteous. In a similar manner Paul is still trying to not be right, but live righteously in this situation. Let's understand that as our mindset, to be righteous; not to be right but to be righteous and pleasing to our Heavenly Father.

Morning Bible Study ~ When you look at the argument in this situation, it wasn't just a back and forth exchange of words fight, if you will. They were so in opposition to each other, and just willing to fight and be violent that they were willing to pull Paul into pieces. Instead of reacting or responding in our flesh, just giving, giving the Holy Spirit the opportunity to respond. We always have...

Morning Bible Study ~ We cannot put our faith, our hope, our trust in humanity; in human nature. Paul was literally a citizen of both groups [Jews & Rome]. But both groups here are rejecting Him. Now, yes, the Romans are afraid because they found that after the fact that this is not how we treat one of our own citizens. It's similar to what we saw in Christ; Who is our pattern example, literally l...

Morning Bible Study ~ The Lord's instruction is not a suggestion. He gives it so you would have more understanding about His heart, His ways, and how to actually walk with Him. As we are coming into maturity in Him, let's get away From the tendency to think that's a nice suggestion; or, You're [The Lord] telling me about an option that I can take, but it's not really what I need to do. God's instr...

Morning Bible Study ~ You have the choice, to take the Lord's path which is straight; it's narrow, but it's straight. The Lord's path is a path of righteousness. And, you can choose that path in and for your life; the Destiny track the Lord has had planned for you from before the foundation of the world. Or, the path that ends in destruction. 

Morning Bible Study ~ Sin nature thinks it can force God into accepting something less than, or lower than, what He already said. Attempting to first remove the standard; before secondly to replace the standard. Nevertheless, God is not going to be swayed from His purpose. He's not going to be overthrown by anyone or anything, ever. So, let's unify with Him in righteousness; because, only what He...

Morning Bible Study ~ When Jesus came into and began His earthly ministry, He did a lot of correcting of the things and the ideas that the Jews thought were right. There was much misunderstanding about what was actually contained in the scriptures, and what God desires from His people. There is no wisdom, or understanding, or counsel against the Lord. It's not just having knowledge of the Lord; it...

Morning Bible Study ~ Do not compromise for the Lord; don't be drawn away. If or when you compromise, ultimately what happens, whether it's for a person or for yourself; compromising your faith in any way ultimately leads you away from the Lord. Let's humble ourself before the Hand of Almighty God and cast all our cares upon Him; submitting to God, resisting the devil, remaining steadfast in our F...

Morning Bible Study ~ In order to fully participate or cooperate with the Lord, and His plan, and what He's doing; we have to put the entirety of our faith, hope, and trust in the Lord. You cannot put your faith your hope your trust in people, and expect God's results. Your faith has to be completely, entirely, and only in the Lord.

Morning Bible Study ~ It's impossible to have our faith fully active and working when we are disregarding the love of God, because that is what makes our faith powerful. Walk fully in the love of God, because with God all things are possible. 

Morning Bible Study ~ Each one every one of us, every person and part of the body of Christ is still being perfected; is still being refined, is still learning, is still growing, is still maturing in the Lord and in the things of the Lord. We have not yet arrived; so let's continue to work out our soul salvation. 

Morning Bible Study ~ If we want to see Christ-like results in our walk and ministry before the Lord, then we must do things the same way Jesus did - Totally dependent on the Father through Holy Spirit's leading. If we will be willing to do His Will, then He is responsible for the outcome; and it will bring Him glory, while also bringing peace to the situation. 

Morning Bible Study ~ The Lord is the One who set up all the lives, all the courses, all the journeys; He's made them intersect when and where He determined them to be before the foundation of the earth were set. He knew where the Apostle Paul would be, He (The Lord] knew when they would be there, He knew what stage they would be at, and what they would need to have as closure or fulfillment to fi...

Morning Bible Study ~ Let everything pass by before the Lord; whatever He says about it, that's what it is. Paul describes what Holy Spirit ministered to his [Paul's] spirit as, being obligated to go to Jerusalem. While Paul didn't know the specifics of what exactly would happen; he knew in his spirit man, that that's where he was supposed to go. Even when someone else came to him with a word tell...

Morning Bible Study ~ We have opportunity to examine ourselves and ensure we are in time, in step, and in season with the Lord; and, who He has around this for His purposes. Both, now and in the season ahead. 

Morning Bible Study ~ The Apostle Paul did what the Lord put on his heart to do, concerning his provisions and his needs, which was to work; and then when people did were moved by the Lord to contribute to him financially or in whatever way he was grateful for it and he appreciated it. But, he didn't make that something that he expected people to do for him. He was appreciative. He was grateful. H...

Morning Bible Study ~ Paul's describing to those he has discipled, they need to become more pressing in their own in their own walk with the Lord; meaning that Paul was no longer going to be there to save them or to do everything for them, but they had to mature in their own understanding and their own ideas and step into the role that was being vacated by Paul. He set up at a church a structure a...

Morning Bible Study ~ We have to be steadfast and firm in our own faith before we can try to lead others or expect to do any good in a situation. And, all the Apostle Paul continues to talk about this in his own life saying, I have done nothing evil to you. I have not fallen prey to the adversary. I have not done anything that's not becoming of Christ; but I've done everything exactly as the Lord...

Morning Bible Studies ~ The Lord is the One that structures, and has structured, His House and His Body as He designed it. So we have to, everyone has to, get to a place where they can function they can operate as He purposed. The training the instruction, the guidance, the wisdom, knowledge that's been passed on to everyone must actually be applied to you life and continually demonstrated; daily....

Morning Bible Study ~ We all have a destiny track to walk before the Lord, with many also intersections and people that are impacted along the way. If they had have missed something Holy Spirit was leading them to, how many lives would have not had the same impact? Or, would have missed out on something key because they didn't receive what they were supposed to; or what the Lord had purposed and p...

Morning Bible Study ~ Paul is mirroring the actions, the attitudes, the behavior found in Jesus, the Christ by going not my will but Your will to accomplish your plans and purpose. Regardless of what it looks like, regardless of what it feels like, or what emotions it elicits from my natural body. By the time we get to this point, Paul had clearly been tried by fire, as he writes about in other le...

Morning Bible Study ~ The Lord loves everyone equally; and He's demonstrating that love by doing also the impossible, raising them from the dead. He's ready, willing and able to do what's needed to show Himself strong even to the point of raising us up from the dead.
