Lesson 17

Faith Helps

 

MEMORY WORK

​

 

For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, Romans 3:23.

 

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should

not perish but have everlasting life, John 3:16;

 

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thy heart that God has raised
Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with
the mouth confession is made unto salvation, Romans 10:9-10.

 

THIS IS THE FOUNDATION, FOR EVERYTHING, THAT WE RECEIVE FROM GOD.

​

For by grace are you saved through faith and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, Not of works, lest
any man should boast. Look at page 73, WORK OUT YOUR OWN SALVATION, Ephesians 2:8–9.

 

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word (Rhema) of God, Romans 10:17.

 

Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed rightly dividing the
word of truth. Review How to Study God's Word. Use, 3-7 sets of scripture, to confirm a point in the
Word, II Timothy 2:15.

 

Thy Word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against thee, Psalm 119:11.

 

 

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength
and my redeemer, Psalm 19:14.

 

 

But the FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT is LOVE, JOY, PEACE, LONGSUFFERING, GENTLENESS,
GOODNESS, FAITH, MEEKNESS, TEMPERANCE; against such there is no law, Galatians 5:22-23.

 

Be ye doers of the Word and not hearers only, James 1:21-22.

 

If ye abide in me, and my words (Rhema) abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto
you, John 15:7. Look in Lesson Four at, HOW TO SIFT GOD’S WORD FROM THE HEAD TO THE
HEART

 

Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask and ye shall receive that your joy may be full, John 16:24.

 

But seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you,
Matthew 6:33.

 

But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for God is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him,
Hebrews 11:6.

 

NOTE: THESE SCRIPTURES ARE TO LIFT OUR FAITH. THEY ARE NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR OUR
FAITH.

"COME UNTO ME"
WORDS TO REMEMBER

 

God's THOUGHTS toward us. LOOK UP AND READ, Jeremiah 29:11-14.

 

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If any man HEARS my voice and OPENS the door, I will come in to him and will sup with him, and he with Me. (RELATIONSHIP AND FELLOWSHIP) Revelation 3:20.

 

SEEK ye FIRST the kingdom of God and His righteousness and ALL these things SHALL be added unto you. Matthew 6:33

 

COME unto me, and I will GIVE you REST. Matthew 11:28

 

MEDITATE on God's Word day and night--AND YOU WILL BE A GOOD SUCCESS. Joshua 1:8

 

God is LOOKING for people to WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH. John 4:21-24

 

But they that WAIT UPON the Lord SHALL RENEW THEIR STRENGTH ---. Isaiah 40:31

 

WAIT FOR THE PROMISE 0F THE FATHER --- Acts 1:4 - 8, Luke 3:16 and Luke 24:49

 

RIVERS of LIVING WATER shall flow OUT of you --. John 7:37-39

 

HOW MUCH MORE SHALL THE HEAVENLY FATHER GIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT TO THEM THAT ASK. Luke 11:13

 

So that the BLESSINGS of Abraham will come on the Gentiles also. Galatians 3:13-14

 

Perfect love casts out ALL FEAR. I John 4:18

 

For God HATH not given us the spirit of fear but OF POWER AND LOVE AND OF A SOUND MIND.
II Timothy 1:7

 

THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS NOT MEAT AND DRINK BUT RIGHTEOUSNESS AND PEACE AND JOY IN THE HOLY SPIRIT, Romans 14:17. Look at, WHAT IS GOD’S SNUGGLE PACKAGE in Lesson Four.

 

FAITH BUILDERS #1

 

1. GOD HEARS OUR PRAYER (I Peter 3:12).

 

2. This is the confidence that we have in our Father, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears
us. And we know that He hears us, and whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that
we desired of Him (I John 5:14-15). Review, How To Approach God, in the Prayer Study.

 

3. If you abide in Me and My Words (Rhema) abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done
unto you (John 15:7).

 

4. A FAITH STATEMENT: When I walk in the Word (Rhema), my Father backs up His Word. Whatever I
ask in Jesus’ name will come to pass.

 

5. FACT --------------FAITH –----------- FEELINGS
(THE WORD) (TRUST) (WHEN THE ANSWER COMES)

 

DO NOT WALK BY FEELINGS

 

6. REMEMBER, WE ARE UNDER THE NEW COVENANT. GOD SAY’S YES, TO THE TOTAL
REDEMPTION, OF THE SPIRIT, SOUL, and BODY.

 

7. BE IT UNTO YOU ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH (Matthew 9:29).

 

8. WITH GOD, NOTHING SHALL BE IMPOSSIBLE (Luke 1:37).

 

9. IS THERE ANYTHING TOO HARD FOR ME ? (Jeremiah 32:27)

 

10. A FAITH STATEMENT: HEALING POWER IS ALWAYS PRESENT--LOOK AT THE SITUATION
THROUGH EYES OF FAITH. GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN YOU; I John 4:4 and LOOK UNTO JESUS,
the AUTHOR and FINISHER of your FAITH, Hebrews 12:2

​

11. HAVE FAITH IN GOD: For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be thou
removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those
things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore, I say unto YOU,
What things soever YOU DESIRE, when YOU PRAY, BELIEVE THAT YOU RECEIVE THEM, AND
YOU SHALL HAVE THEM (Mark 11:23-24 and Romans 10:9-10).

 

THE PERSON WHO SAVES YOU AND HEALS YOU, LIVES IN YOU.

​

12. YOU MUST FORGIVE, Mark 11:25-26. CAST ALL OF YOUR CARE UPON HIM BECAUSE HE
CARES FOR YOU, I Peter 5:7. Review Lesson Ten.

 

FAITH BUILDERS #2

​

NOTE: THESE SCRIPYURES ARE TO LIFT OUR FAITH. THEY ARE NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR OUR
FAITH.

 

WHAT ARE OUR GOALS?

 

1. Learn To Compare Ourselves To Jesus And Not To Others

 

a. Read Acts 10:38 and remember Jesus said, "As the Father sent Me."

 

b. Read Hebrews 2:17 and II Corinthians 5:18. We are ministers of reconciliation.

 

2. Compare ourselves to the Book of Acts to see if we really have heard what Jesus said. Acts 1:8 and 5:42; Galatians 5:1-26; Mark 16:14-20--also the Gospels where Jesus sent out the twelve TWO-BY-TWO and then the seventy others out, TWO-BY-TWO.

​

3. Examine ourselves to see what adjustments need to be made for us to become conscious of the
indwelling Holy Spirit, and let Him guide--lead and teach us. (Romans 8:8-17; Romans 12:1-2;
Galatians 5:13-26; John 3:3; John 7:37-39).

 

4. Learn Who We Are In The Kingdom Of God

 

a. Romans 8:17 - We are a joint HEIR.
b. We do not belong to this world ( John 17:16; Romans 14:17-19 ).

b. Galatians 3:13-14 - More promises.
c. I Corinthians 12:31 - Covet earnestly the best gifts.
d. Hebrews 4:16 - COME BOLDLY TO THE THRONE OF GRACE.

b. Ephesians 6:10-18 - Gospel armor.
c. II Corinthians 10:3-6 - Weapons of warfare.

STRESS OR PEACE OF MIND

​

Wait upon the Lord. Isaiah 40:31

 

My peace I give to you. John 14:27

 

Keep your mind on Him.Isaiah 26:3

 

Think on these things. Philippians 4:1-23

 

The kingdom of God is peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Romans 14:17

 

God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. II Timothy 1:7

 

God’s character—the fruit of the spirit. Galatians 5:18:26

 

The Lord’s phone number. Jeremiah 33:3

 

Cast all your care upon Him because He cares for you. I Peter 5:6-11

 

Our Father does not want you to remain in abusive or dangerous situations. The Lord knows how to deliver you out of a harmful situation. II Peter 2:9

 

The weapons of our warfare are spiritual for victory over the enemy. II Corinthians 10:3-7
Look at THE NEW COVENANT AUTHORITY. You may also review “COME UNTO ME”

 

GOD GIVES THE BEST TO THOSE WHO LEAVE THE CHOICE TO HIM.

 

YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER
WANTS YOU TO REMEMBER

 

We have been invited by the Father to be INVOLVED IN His life, and He WANTS TO BE INVOLVED IN OUR LIFE.

 

BY BEING BORN AGAIN WE HAVE DIRECT ACCESS TO OUR FATHER AND OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.

 

The SEED of the Father’s character and nature were planted in our spirit by the Holy Spirit when we were, Born-Again, II Peter 1:2-11

 

The HARVEST of YOUR FRUIT depends on how much you ALLOW THE HOLY SPIRIT TO WATER your spirit (John 7:37-39).

 

WE KNOW GOD TO THE DEGREE THAT WE KNOW HIS WORD..

 

SNUGGLE – SNUGGLE – SNUGGLE

 

How much more shall the Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask (Luke 11:13).

 

The way we live our life depends on how much we ALLOW THE HOLY SPIRIT TO APPLY THE LIVING WATER.

 

THIS IS THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF, THE PROMISE OF THE FATHER.

 

REMEMBER: GOD LOVES YOU!

 

JUDE

​

From: Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and a brother of James. To: Christians everywhere, for God the Father has chosen you and Jesus Christ has kept you safe.

 

2. May you be given more and more of God’s kindness, peace, and love.

 

3. Dearly loved friends, I had been planning to write you some thoughts about the salvation God has given us, but now I find I must write of something else instead, urging you to stoutly defend the truth which God gave, once for all, to His people to keep without change through the years.

 

4. I say this because some godless teachers have wormed their way in among you, saying that after we become Christians we can do just as we like without fear of God’s punishment. The fate of such people was written long ago, for they have turned against our only master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

 

5. My answer to them is: remember this fact-which you know already-that the Lord saved a whole nation of people out of the land of Egypt, and then killed every one of them who did not trust and obey Him.

 

6. And I remind you of those angels who were once pure and holy, but willingly turned to a life of sin. Now God has them chained up in prisons of darkness, waiting for the judgment day.

 

7. And don’t forget the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring towns, all full of lust of every kind including lust of men for other men. Those cities were destroyed by fire and continue to be a warning to us that there is a hell in which sinners are punished.

 

8. Yet these false teachers go on living their evil, immoral lives, degrading their bodies and laughing at those in authority over them, even scoffing at the Glorious Ones (those mighty powers of awful evil who left their first estate).

 

9. Yet Michael, one of the mightiest of the angles, when he was arguing with Satan about Moses’ body, did not dare to accuse Satan, or jeer at him, but simply said, “The Lord rebuke you.”

 

10. But these men mock and curse at anything they do not understand, and, like animals, they do whatever they feel like, thereby ruining their souls.

 

11. Woe upon them! For they follow the example of Cain who killed his brother; and, like Balaam, they will do anything for money; and like Korah, they have disobeyed God in the hope of gain and will die under His curse.

 

12. When these men join you at the love feasts of the church, they are evil smears among you, laughing and carrying on, gorging and stuffing themselves without a thought for others. They are like clouds blowing over dry land without giving rain, promising much, but producing nothing.

 

They are like fruit trees without any fruit at picking time. They are not only dead, but doubly dead, for they have been pulled out, roots and all, to be burned.

​

13. All they leave behind them is shame and disgrace like the dirty foam along the beach left by the wild waves. They wander around looking as bright as stars, but ahead of them is the everlasting gloom and darkness that God has prepared for them.

 

14. Enoch, who lived long ago, soon after Adam, knew about these men and said this about them: “See, the Lord is coming with millions of His holy ones”.

 

15. He will bring the people of the world before Him in judgment, to receive just punishment, and to prove the terrible things they have done in rebellion against God, revealing all they have said against Him.”

 

16. These men are constant grippers, never satisfied, doing whatever evil they feel like; they are loud-mouthed “show-off's,” and when they show respect for others, it is only to get something from them in return.

 

17. Dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ told you,

 

18. That in the last times there would come these scoffers whose whole purpose in life is to enjoy themselves in every evil way imaginable.

 

19. They stir up arguments; they love the evil things of the world; they do not have the Holy Spirit living in them.

 

20. But you, dear friends, must build up your lives ever more strongly upon the foundations of our HOLY FAITH, LEARNING TO PRAY IN THE POWER AND STRENGTH OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

 

21. Stay always within the boundaries where God’s love can reach and bless you. Wait patiently for the eternal life that our Lord Jesus Christ in His mercy is going to give you.

 

22. Try to help those who argue against you. Be merciful to those who doubt.

 

23. Save some by snatching them as from the very flames of hell itself. And as for others, help them to find the Lord by being kind to them, but be careful that you yourselves aren’t pulled along into their sins. Hate every trace of their sin while being merciful to them as sinners.

 

24-25. And now-- all glory to Him who alone is God, who saves us through Jesus Christ our Lord; Yes splendor and majesty, all power and authority are His from the beginning; His they are and His they evermore shall be. And He is able to keep you from slipping and falling away, and to bring you, sinless
and perfect, into His glorious presence with mighty shouts everlasting joy. AMEN. Jude
