Many people unwittingly assume that God is an advocate of celibacy. That would be wrong, in the beginning he told man and woman to be fruitful and multiply. So that that has never been His intent. God was and is looking for pure love and pure intimacy. God loves the unadulterated, He wants us in every area of our lives to demonstrate this purity. A purity of worship, a purity of intention and a pu...

Many believers could reduce their people problems if they read the Bible for its insight into human behavior. Studying the Bible offers us clues as to how we can avoid problems and identify problematic issues. Many people think the Bible is only for worship and learning about God, but we can also learn about people and their motives. The Bible is a collection or memoir about God and Man. So you ca...

Many people struggle with confidence. It's been a feature of the human experience since the fall of man when Adam and Eve sewwed fig leaves together to cover themselves. Confidence can be a struggle for two reasons: we don't know ourselves well enough and we don't know God well enough. Your confidence in your natural and spiritual abilities will grow when you begin to understand and put confidence...

As finite beings, we often tend to look at the things that happen as the narrative of our story, when actually our story is part of the greater narrative of God's Will. What do you do when you cry out to God, but God gives you more of what you don't want. The Israelites hoped to worship their God in their land, but when they asked Pharoah, he became harder. Sometimes we don't see the hand if God i...

While we are all seeking direction in our lives; God provides a level of direction simply from the Spirit he has given us. That God With Us Holy Spirit allows us to get downloads from the mind of Christ if we are careful heed to and listen. We are called to be spiritually minded and to have the mind of Christ, and this alone will give us direction on what steps to take in our lives. But while some...

We have come to the last spiritual calling or office in the body of Christ. The teacher is also a familiar offices and is often confused with many other offices in the body of Christ. Today we will deconstruct the office of teacher and seek to understand how this spiritual call works. In this study we will define a Teacher, Preacher, Pastor and Evangelist to get better context into whether these c...

The world if men and women ofte break down when we do not exercise the disciplines and methods God has given us to have healthy relationships. As children we grow up believing the dynamic we saw in our homes were right or righteously flawed. But God provides a unique guideline for men and women. This Bible study dives into the not so complex dynamic between male and female and human to human encou...

Often we believe that we must solve all of our own issues when they arise. We forget the important power of prayer and it's power to change situations, people and the hearts of mankind. God can revive not only your personal needs, but your community, nation and region. But you have to begin with sincere conversations with God that include thanksgiving. So you know the medicinal effect of thanksgiv...

Many people have envisioned the work of a pastor in many ways. But modern interpretation often misses some of the nuances of this influential calling. Many step into roles that require special power to execute. Some feel they have been called to this post and there are many ways to be certified. But God's callings requires truly understanding the work of one who is called to sit among men in the m...

In a world spiralling into chaos, managing your ability to love others and yourself can be a challenge. Often we struggle with love because we seek to fulfill popular ideas about what love means from society and religious constructs. But God wants us to know how to apply love in practical ways that impact our lives and others. How can you love those that are not next of kin or friends in a godly w...

In this Bible study we will look at the practical life of the Evangelist. Much has been said about these purported itinerant missionaries. But it may be that we have confused some of their functions with the prolific Apostles. An Evangelist has a call that ties into the great commission in a way that no other calling really does. This calling is one that requires a certain level of expertise and p...

While the idea of a prophet generates all kinds of ideas, the truest description is of a spokesperson or press secretary. These are people who are tasked with knowing the official position of the Kingdom of God and being able to articulate that as well as Rhema and Logos word from God. The place of a prophet in the callings appointed by God are pretty high. That is likely because of the huge respo...

Are you an Apostle? Not many preach or teach on Apostleship because so few people understand it or even know what it is. To be ckear, an Apostle is NOT a fancy word for Disciple. It is a distinct and important calling from God which He has ranked as the top post and calling in the church. Sady, solitke is known or discussed about this complex and influential calling that many believers do NOT know...

Part of fulfilling our joy is taking delight in the Father. The power in learning to be thankful and remembering His work in your life is how we grow and live an abundant life. || Support at Paypal.com/lelawinston THANK YOU!

Let's examine what it means in our everyday life in how to interface with those that do good and those that dont. How do we negotiate the work of God while being real. Paul is a great example beyond the florid ways we are encouraged to behave according to modern popular Christianity. God needs us to be real for the sake of the body of Christ. || Support at Paypal.com/lelawinston

It's a role that requires real leadership, but it's a necessary part of the faith. As believers we leave the difficult task of judgement up to chance. It's hard to do the unpopular thing, it is not easy being a pastor, but God calls us to be fearless in our administration of gifts and callings. As a believer, regardless of your position in a body of believers you have a mandate on your life. Find...

We are quick to tell the world what we do for God. But the Bible is clear, that our work in Christ is our reasonable service. We're not actually doing anything more or less mighty based on the great comission--in this we are co-workers with God. But, there is one area where you can give to God. It's not by sowing a seed, giving a love offering or tithing. God tells us very plainly. It's the bigges...

This subject has been controversial in the chirch, largely because people do not understand God's gifting and callings. It has been a pretext for mysogynic practices that seek to even hinder the precious Gospel of Christ. The reason this has had such power over the ages is because people really don't have a great handle on the callings of God, His Will and the purpose of those callings as it perta...

Practicing purpose has so many benefits for the believer. Yet we are often tempted to step away from it or waiver because of things in the natural environment. The enemy of our souls uses certain things to move us away from our purpose. The power of suggestion in our hearts and minds serves as one. We will explore how we can challenge anything that stands between us and the massive purpose of God....

What we do is least important, than why. The why of your life, is your purpose. God is glorified when we accomplish and walk in purpose. How can we accomplish purpose if our impetus for what we do does not spring from the God of purpose? If you want to accomplish purpose, draw closer to God in reflecting on your reasons. D ont let others pressure you away from the power of living fully in purpose,...

We have heard the edict of the two greatest commandments many times. But how many times have we sat down and considered what it truly me and to love? We will explore what it means to Love Yourself in the Biblical way, that honors your soul, mind and body. It's hard to love your purpose or God's plan for us without investing the time to learn to love ourselves with God's love in deed and thought. G...

God's providence and His amazing acts and delegated power is often hidden behind the blanket term used widely in the Bible. We often ask God for blessings, but do you REALLY know what you are asking for? Do you understand how blessings fit into your purpose? Read the "blessings" of God with new eyes and discover the power and favor God gives and the practical way we use it with faith, hope and lov...

We often look at the prodigal son from the son's POV, but have we ever thought about the father? When we look at life from the father's vantage point we begin to understand the totality of scripture and our place in the reconciliation of mankind through Christ. Our purpose becomes clearer in all areas. Support and share! God bless you!
