Praying in and through adversity (part 2)

If you are still learning how to pray, especially in adversity (as I am) then this study may well provide a few answers.  When we are really in impossible situation, such as Habakkuk was, 2600 years ago, then his attitudes in adversity are so commendable, that we can learn from them today.  And it all fits with the teachings of Jesus on the “single eye” which has a very special meaning.  It is also compatible with the tree of life and the teachings of Dr Larry Crabb on the new and living way.   If you try to gain the blessings of God, rather than the God of the blessing, then you may learn something about the sovereignty of God and how we need to submit to Him in similar ways to Habakkuk, not long before Jerusalem fell in 486 B.C.  The time of Habakkuk reminds us of our own times, where the world is approaching the end of the age (not the end of the world as some suggest) and how we must be aware and ready for those times.  Jesus Christ said He would return to earth at a time we did not expect.   Surprised at all this?  So please listen further

Unit 11 Oneness in Christ - The Major N.T. Theme - part 1

Is there one NT theme that stands out above all others?   Yes I believe there is.   It is that God intended that we be one with Him.  Jesus spoke about this in John 17 when He prayed to His Father in His High Priestly prayer.  He said that just as He and the Father were one, believers would also be on with Him.   Paul also said the same thing when he spoke of Christ in us and Christ being our life.  Many other scripture are used in this study and it is easily observed that they are all saying the same thing, that God intended that we be one with Him.  What a wonder it is that the God who created the universe has stooped down to every believer making it possible for union and unity with Him.

Unit 10 The Enigma of Romans 7 Part 1 of 4

Unit 10 The Enigma of Romans 7 - The Misunderstanding that Blocks Life in the Spirit. Here is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, cleared of the impairments that Romans 7 seems to present. This is a unit of study of some importance, as it focuses on the Gospel as Paul presents it in Romans. In one sense it summarizes many of the other studies located here and explains how a proper understanding of scripture, based on the death and resurrection of Christ, enables us to live in the freedom of the Spirit of Light and Truth, through a correct understanding of what being dead to sin means and how this relates to the flesh being overcome by the Spirit of God.. This study goes into the detail of Paul’s life and his ministry, when all the aspects of his life occurred and how this reconciles all parts of the Gospel in Romans 6. 7 and 8, with the Book of Acts. The PDF file is one 20 page document. The MP3 audio presentation is divided into three parts of 33, 27, and 28 minutes respectively. The single PDF file or all three audio tracks are needed to complete the study - better with both.

Unit 9 Adversity and its Positive Associations - Part 1

This unit of study is dedicated to setting out three major ways in which we in the church seem to ere, possibly bringing on ourselves the chastening of the Lord, which we otherwise might not experience if we were obedient to His word in these deeper things. So this unit of study will encompass three aspects of the Christian life that do seem to be understood and not lived as the Lord would expect of us.
