This is a recap of all the previous studies in the beatitude series.

How does God expect us to act in the furnace of affliction? Follow the last beatitude teaching series to see the scriptural answer to the question and learn what should be the believer's response to persecution.

The Scripture teaches that persecution is not an abnormal Christian experience. We therefore cannot judge its normality based on our experience, we must rather judge the normality of our experience on the authority of the scripture. This study will continue with an exposition on the resultant benefits of Christian persecution based on the Scriptures.

This study is focused on the result of persecution. Jesus said we are blessed whenever we are persecuted for righteousness' sake.

This study is a continuation of the final beatitude. It examines the topic in the following ways; The reality of persecution The reason for persecution. What drives the world to attack the Christian The result of persecution and God's response to persecution

Real Happiness is a state of being, not a state of having! This final beatitude depicts the following features.

An enigma to the world Perfectly placed following the beatitude "Blessed are the peace-makers&...

Yield and you become a peacemaker. God said give up your right to your reputation and thus the right to retaliation. Give up the right to your possessions Give up your claims to your time and your strength and be willing to praise God for divine interruptions.

This study is an exposition of Matthew 5:41 - Whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with Him two.

This teaching is a continuation of the Christian's peace-making role. It touches on the following stages: Leading men to peace with God Living in the peace of God Leading men in peace with men

This lesson is focused on the third phase of peace-making - peace with men. How do we as Christians bring about an atmosphere of peace into personal relationships in the world in which we live?

A God's man/woman is a peacemaker. This teaching is focused on the principles - God's sword at His peacemakers and God's showcase of peace.

Every Christian is called to be at peace and every Christian is called to be a peacemaker! John 14:27 - Stop allowing yourself to be agitated or disturbed and do not be fearful, intimidated, cowardly or unsettled. What is peace? Is the heart of man in a reclining position Is Jesus asleep in a boat while the storm rages and the disciples panic Is Paul thankful for the privilege to be a witness in c...

Testimony is when you tell someone what you've seen and heard. 1 John 1:3. Fellowship is unity based on a common heart. Here are some tests of a Testimony: - Make it natural and personal - Make it concise (short enough to listen to but long enough to understand) - Make it understandable (clean up the religious lingo)

How do we become the witnesses we're meant to be? Your spiritual gift and personality go into the making of a unique message through which your ministry blossoms forth. Your ministry involves your witness, your means of discipleship, the kind of service you do and the way you're involved in the body of Christ.

This teaching focuses on the following titles; - a reminder of our purpose - a recognition of our placement - review of our preparation and - a record of our promise.

In Matthew 5:9 Jesus said: Oh what bliss, what self-contained Joy awaits the man or the woman who assumes His God-given role as a peacemaker. Because He, the maker of peace will be exalted as God's called-out children. For Jesus says if I became the way of peace, they become the instrument of peace. Blessed are the peacemakers filled with bliss. Are you a peacemaker?

This is a conclusion part of the series on the study of Christ's calling to be pure in heart.

This lesson deals with the fourth answer to the thought life problem - if the thought life is the accumulation of data from birth, that means we should guard it from birth. We should guard what we expose ourselves to continually. Here are some basic areas of purifying the heart. - Prevention: The case for innocence. - Precaution: What you see is what you get. That is the principle of guarding the...

The mind is what you think when you think no one knows what you think. That is the real heart. It is your emotions, how you really feel about God, your parents, husband/wife, children, self, job, circumstances in your life. That's the real heart. And it's your real will - what you will choose to do in any given situation if there were neither restraint nor consequences. That's your hea...

This is a concluding part of the series on God's truth and satan's lies. We've examined; - the Picture: outlines nine areas of conflict between the Christian and the world, twenty-six lies that satan tells that have corresponding Biblical truth. - the pattern that has emerged and - the present events that are unfolding.

In the will of God, there is power. And the Christian in the will of God has the power to withstand the enemy. You must remember that when you enter into an alliance relationship, you become unequally yoked together with unbelievers, you stepped out of the will of God because you ignore the known word of God and you loose your power.

The Christian is called to live in the world, to minister to the world without conforming to the world or becoming of the world.
