Richard Adair's - Bible Study Lessons

YES THEY DO! We have been trained by years of bad teaching that God just makes everything happen when and if He wants to and there's nothing we can do about it! That couldn't be further from scriptural reality. You will continue to believe all your prayer will not be answered if you continue to believe this way. Take Mark 11:24 for instance. How on earth can you "believe your reciev...

Its incredible how much unbelief we have over this issue. We give every excuse like "its too difficult" or "God wants to punish me" or "I've sinned too much" or "I sinned one big time" or "God doesn't heal anymore" or "God doesn't heal everyone" and on and on we could go with excuses. None of them are right in comparison to...

Easier said than done we hear, but truly it is easy, but will we do it? Well, the chips are down and yes we need to or its silly for the Bible to tell us to "NOT WORRY"! Worry is actually the part of us that says God's Promises (The Bible) WILL NOT HELP ME SO THEREFORE I'M SO SCARED! This is totally understandable, but we have to learn to TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT instead of just...

We are so bugged in our minds sometimes about what other people think of us. We certainly don't think everyone approves of us so when it comes to thinking of God we gravitate toward thinking He doesn't approve of us either. This could NOT be further from the truth. We can't save ourselves. It takes Jesus and Him only to accomplish this great task. Why is it we must now feel that to...

This should really be a "no brainer" here, but many times we fall back to the same old UNBIBLICAL belief that God wants us either hit rock bottom or be poor or some other foolish belief. This couldn't be further from the truth of the Bible. How many people in the Bible were used of God and were just dirt poor as a result? That should be an easy question to answer! Zero! I"ve be...

Its our responsibility to believe. Things just did not happen to people in the Bible because they sat there and didn't do anything. They believed God. God requires faith. Anyone can believe there's a God but God is requiring more than that. Believing that not only does He exists but that He will help you in your time of need. (Hebrews 11:6) The story of David and Goliath was one of faith...

Yes you do! We all have to set aside our traditions and get real with ourselves and the Bible. Listen to this fantastic message about how Angels are there FOR YOU. Everyone wants to think they are for little children or for someone else but how little we believe they are SENT to PROTECT us. We should be just as confident that Angels are around us as we are about believing that Jesus will take us t...

Its true self condemnation will ruin the life of any believer even if its for just moments at a time. We are all so concerned about our heavenly appearance either to others or just to ourselves or even fearing what God may think. Let's step back a minute and think about the obvious from the Bible. How often did Jesus refuse to forgive people? None that we can ever recall, right? He always for...

It's just interesting to see in the Bible that the very essence of praying is between YOU and God and that He guarantees you to give you what you ask for! See! Exactly the moment you read that statement you even now thought to yourself "No He never said that" or "He won't do that all the time". The truth is when you study the bible you do see promise after promise GRA...

Again, check your Bible. To go without is not right. God will always provide abundance. He chooses to do this to show us He is God and that we don't need to be chasing after other so called gods. This is proven over and over in the scriptures but you have to read for yourself to be convinced. I'm not just going to say the Bible supports my message. Quite the contrary this message will be...

If we can believe God will take us to heaven by simply believing in Jesus then its absurd to think He won't heal us for the promises are identical. Traditional thinking has gotten the best of us. Knowledge of healing for us all in the bible has been like a deep dark secret to many a christian. Some think healing is NOT in the bible for us while others say it is. The fact of the matter is &quo...

This is so simple yet we make it so hard to give ourselves an excuse for our unbelief. Faith is easily understood as compared to unbelief. Do you believe your friend or not when they tell you something? As we learn our friends we know when they are teasingly telling us the truth or not. Sometimes people we do not know we have to decide do we believe them or not. Stated differently, do i have faith...

Great question? Why is it in your Bible? It's clearly all about David and some problem he was facing. Then why is it in your Bible? That's a great question too! We certainly already believe in God so we don't need to know about how powerful God is. What is the reason for this Psalm? Simply put it was personal for David because it's personal for YOU TOO! We are all but ignorant...

This is the personal side of Redemption! It's so important that we believe for our own selves how great this redemption truly is. Who are we to determine how little Jesus did for us by assuming all there is can only be at ticket to heaven someday. That alone seems fishy if that were all redemption includes. Some even say Redemption is only then the heart of a person being changed into somethi...

This is so wonderful that any child or adult has now the ability to share the wonderful story of Jesus by simply saying "look at me and what Jesus is doing blessing me so"! Somehow over the years we've lost this fundamental part of the message but much like Martin Luther discovered "The just shall live by faith" its been rediscovered by so many through reading the Bible th...

We can deny all these blessings all we want to publicly or even privately but they'll still be sitting here waiting on each one of us the moment we release all our unbelief. When did it ever become our responsibility to bless ourselves? We live in a society where the miraculous has to be completely explained. Try to take a step back and realize that God really exists and that He really wants...

The truth is God is much more powerful than the Devil could ever hope to be. Many times we believe we are simply at the mercy of this merciless enemy and its not the truth. Redemption is a financial word. It simply means to purchase. We have been purchased legally from the hand of this merciless enemy but we need to act as though it is the truth. That's all faith is. Just pretend (shall i say...

Sometimes as Christians we just don't get it. We feel we're the enemy ourselves to God when in fact we are His children. We are so sure that life's problems are just a bag of punishment we all deserve that we quit believing in the simpleness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It gets ridiculous when you get to studying the Bible and finding out that its our own fault for not bringing ou...

Its difficult to realize Jesus will heal you and I. This is what is called faith. You'll never experience your faith for healing if you don't take time to read about what the Bible says about your own guaranteed healing. David was so bold as to say in Psalms 103 "who forgives all my sins and HEALS all my diseases". David called this a benefit and also MADE himself remember it....

The Bible will make you a very happy person. Just knowing God will help you all the days of your life and will make you the happiest person on earth! Ask and you shall receive that your JOY MAY BE FULL! ... Jesus said "That my joy might remain in you". What? Was Jesus actually a happy person? Of course! He wants you happy too!

Genesis chapter 1 declares this wonderful fact. However your own failures will work on you and make you think you are meant to fail and lose and just have a terrible life altogether, but Jesus said "I've come that you might have Life and have it more Abundantly". Its up to us to act. We are MORE THAN CONQUERORS through Him that loved us.

God really does love you. You'll always have trouble loving others until you finally figure out God loves you so much He wants to help you with you daily struggles! We lose our tempers sometimes because we get frustrated with our own problems and become unlovely sometimes! When you discover God loves you and really will help you with your own problems you'll soon see how to love others l...

Why is it we feel the Lord will help everyone else but US in times of trouble. David didn't feel that way. He insisted the Lord was always going to help him and he was very impatient about it. We would do ourselves a favor if we acted more like him instead of feeling so alone in trouble. Expect the Lord to get you out of trouble every time!
