| 01/02 | 1 Thessalonians 3:13 | The important aspect of the term unblameable is forgiving yourself. If you have not forgiven yourself, it will be evident in your response to circumstances and people. God will test you so that you will see who you are. Jesus Christ is come, not will come. It’s all about his presence, in you, now. 1 John 4:1-4, 2 Corinthians 10:10, 2 Peter 1:12-16, 2 Peter 3:1-4, 10-12 |
| 01/05 | 1 Thessalonians 4:1 | What does it mean, to ‘please’ God? You cannot walk in the flesh and, please God. You cannot please men and please God. Romans 8:5-8, 15:1-6, Galatians 1:10 |
| 01/06 | 1 Thessalonians 4:2-4 | We are talking about sanctification and, the will of God Fornication, is to rely on anything or anyone else, other than God. Romans 12:1-2, Hosea 1:1-11, 2:1-7 |
| 01/07 | 1 Thessalonians 4:2-4 | God is asking us to live our life as if; each second is your last. There is nothing else to do but walk in continuous repentance. Zephaniah 2:1-3 |
| 01/08 | 1 Thessalonians 4:2-4 | When so immersed in idolatry, you may fail to discern that it is indeed, idolatry. You buy into your own justification to continue in rebellion. The alternative to self-justification is the open and honest confession before our heavenly father. Ephesians 5:25, Song of Solomon 4:1-7, Colossians 1:12-22 |
| 01/09 | 1 Thessalonians 4:2-4 | By experience, we come to know how to possess this vessel in honor. Experience leads to a true knowledge that all is vanity. We must come to know that we are made to be a broken vessel. Hebrews 5:8-14, 6:1-2, Haggai 1:1-9, Amos 5:18, Psalms 31:9-12, Proverbs 25:1-4, Isaiah 66:12-20, Jeremiah 48:12, Hosea 8:6-8, Romans 6:17-19, 9:18-23 |
| 01/12 | 1 Thessalonians 4:4 | When you have an agenda, the agenda becomes your idol. You will know this when; others get in the way of your agenda. Watch your reaction, it will reveal who you are. When you are not in bondage to the human mind, you will know how to possess your vessel in honor. Romans 9:18-23, 2 Corinthians 4:1-12 |
| 01/13 | 1 Thessalonians 4:5 | Lust is all that the human mind can do. There is nothing in the world that is of value to God and there is nothing in God that is of value to the world. Colossians 3:1-3, Romans 1:18-32, Isaiah 26:12-13, Galatians 6:7-8 |
| 01/14 | 1 Thessalonians 4:3-4 | Man was never created to be an entity unto him. We are dead. When you resurrect a part of you, you resurrect all of you. We were created as vessels to contain deity. You either contain Christ or you contain antichrist. Romans 6:6-23, Genesis 2:15 |
| 01/15 | 1 Thessalonians 4:5-6 | Using the mystery of God, to justify self-seeking, is spiritual pornography. The high places, that exalt themselves against the knowledge of God, are in the human mind. 2 Corinthians 10:3-7 |
| 01/16 | We’re temporarily departing from 1 Thessalonians, to talk about the, born again experience. To be born again, is the act of God, by his will alone. You cannot use that which is cursed, which is you, to gain that, which is blessed, which is Christ. Your only capacity is to empty this vessel, so that Christ may dwell in you. John 1:1-13, 3:1-15, 2 Timothy 2:11-18, 3:1-5 | |
| 01/19 | 1 Thessalonians 4:4 | We’re going back a couple of verses. We’re talking more on possessing your vessel in sanctification and honor. What does it mean to, Gird up the loin of your mind? 2 Samuel 3:31, 2 Kings 4:27-29, 9:1, Job 38:1-3, 12:18, Isaiah 15:3, 32:9-12, Jeremiah 1:4-19, 4:5 |
| 01/20 | 1 Thessalonians 4:4 | We’re talking more on possessing your vessel in sanctification and honor. Your mind, flesh, and culture, will tell you that you should be other than what you are. Taking ownership of who and what you are is the essence of possessing your vessel in sanctification and honor. Ezekiel 7:18, John 21:18-20, 1 Peter 1:9-13, 2 Corinthians 10:3-7 |
| 01/21 | 1 Thessalonians 4:5 | Christ, cannot deny himself. We are in the flesh but not of the flesh. We are in the world but not of the world. We are the vessel, the temple, of the living God. 2 Timothy 2:10-13, 3:1-13, 4:1-5, 1 John 2:15-17, 3:1-11, 1:1-10, 4:1-7, 5:1-4 |
| 01/22 | 1 Thessalonians 4:5 | What does it mean to: set your affections on things above? Colossians 3:1-7, 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 |
| 01/23 | 1 Thessalonians 4:5-6 | Since the foundation of the world, God, has established the bounds of your habitation, the lines of demarcation. To defraud, is to step over the line. Acts 17:16-26 |
| 01/26 | 1 Thessalonians 4:5-6 | The human mind can never accept the Gospel. The highest form of worship for man is the recognition of his own enmity towards God. This recognition leads to repentance. Colossians 1:15-24, Isaiah 1:17-19 |
| 01/27 | 1 Thessalonians 4:3-7 | We are reviewing. God has wrought all his works in you therefore, you are exactly as you should be. The refusal to see this is to despise your own inheritance, your own soul. Proverbs 13:11, 20:3, 15:29-33, Isaiah 33:10-16, 49:1-4 |
| 01/28 | 1 Thessalonians 4:8 | What does it mean to despise your brother? Christ was despised by all men. James 4:1-12, Isaiah 49:1-7, 53:1-3, Genesis 12:1-2, Hebrews 11:23-27 |
| 01/29 | 1 Thessalonians 4:8 | To despise is, to dismiss as insignificant, to consider lightly, and to disregard, another. When you are in communion with Christ, you are in communion with others, it’s automatic. What is the job description of the Holy Spirit? John 15:25-27, 16:1-11 |
| 01/30 | 1 Thessalonians 4:8 | We are talking more about the Holy Spirit. Unless, like a pecan seed, we fall into the ground and die, we will abide alone. Pumping energy into it yourself is not the work of the Holy Spirit, it’s still all about you and the flesh. 1 Corinthians 12:1-3 |
| February 2009 | ||
| 02/03 | 1 Thessalonians 4:9 | We are taught of God, not of men. We don’t need to chase after it or try to force it. When we come to the end and empty ourselves, he is there. Revelation 1:1, Jeremiah 31:27-34, Hebrews 8:3-13, 1 John 2:15-16, Isaiah 54:1-17 |
| 02/05 | 1 Thessalonians 4:11 | The sabot is not a day, it’s Jesus. Have you entered his rest or do you still think there is something for you to do? Philippians 2:10-12, Hebrews 3:1-19, 4:1-11 |
| 02/06 | 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 | |
| 02/09 | 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 | These passages describe the culmination of Christianity not some fairytale rapture. The seed that is planted is not the thing that is raised up. At the instance of the end of time and space, be found in Christ, spotless and blameless. 1 Corinthians 15:1-58, 2 Timothy 2:15, 1 John 4:1-3, 2 John 1:7-11, 2 Peter 3:5-15 |
| 02/10 | Matthew 6:1-13 | For this mbs, we’re going on a side trip. We are taking a close look at the Lord’s Prayer. It is the model for prayer. It is not ‘my’ father but, ‘our’ father. How do we hallow his name? 1 Corinthians 3:16-23 |
| 02/11 | 1 Thessalonians 4:17-18 | What does it mean to be caught up with him, in the air? Only two men, in scripture,did not die. Genesis 5:21-24, 2 Kings 2:11, Acts 1:1-9, Numbers 9:16-23 |
| 02/12 | 1 Thessalonians 5:1-2 | You must know, with precision, the mystery of God. None of this will make any impact on you unless you have known his presence. What is the day of the Lord? Matthew 24:34-44, 2 Peter 3:1-10, Isaiah 2:1-11, Joel 1:13-16, 2:1-2, Amos 5:18-20, Romans 13:10-12, 1 Corinthians 1:3-4 |
| 02/13 | 1 Thessalonians 5:1-3 | In the modern church, we are being preached peace, security, and safety. Is this from the Lord? Though Christ is one, he will express himself uniquely in each person. You have no need to imitate, recite by rote, or plagiarize. Jeremiah 6:13-15, 8:6-12, 14:1-18, 23:9-40 |
| 02/16 | 1 Thessalonians 5:3 | The Bible is not written to the world, it is written to believers. We, white wash ourselves, to hide our vulnerability and hypocrisy. The false profits are a picture of the activity that goes on, in our human mind. All that occurred in the Old Testament is for our benefit so you can see ourselves. Ezekiel 13:1-12, Isaiah 13:1-12, Hosea: 13:1-16 |
| 02/17 | 1 Thessalonians 5:3-4 | Peace is not conflict avoidance. We place much value and invest much effort on the appearance of peace. This is peace, as the world defines it. Peace on earth and good will towards men is a poor interpretation/translation of Luke 2:14. The good will of God, towards men is, his son Jesus Christ and Christ is peace. Matthew 10:34-36, Luke 2:8-14, John 14:26-28, 16:31-33, Hebrews 11:33-40 |
| 02/18 | 1 Thessalonians 5:4 | We are in the night of the last day where no man can work. How many ways do we proceed to minister to ourselves and, to solve the problems of the world? Babylon is the type of the world and is in each of us. John 9:1-4, Matthew 5:14-16, 6:24-34, Revelation 14:6-119 |
| 02/19 | 1 Thessalonians 5:5-8 | If Christ be in you, you are not of the night nor, of the darkness, you are of the light. Can you believe that, since the cross, all of the activities and accomplishments of men, amount to nothing? John 8:42-59, 9:1-4, Matthew 4:12-17, 5:14, 1 Peter 2:9-12 |
| 02/20 | 1 Thessalonians 5:5-8 | What does it mean that men love darkness rather than light? John 3:18-21 15:18-22, 1 Peter 3:15-22, 4:1-6 |
| 02/23 | 1 Thessalonians 5:5-8 | We are still talking about children of the light. Where do you not see Christ in all things? Where you are, he is not. We must get out of the way. Only then will he reveals himself. Colossians 3:1-4, Acts 26:12-16, Hebrews 2:1-9, Deuteronomy 13:1-18, 18:9-16, Isaiah 6:1-13 |
| 02/24 | 1 Thessalonians 5:7-8 | The whole mystery of the Bible is about you getting out of the way. For those that do not know Christ is in you, repentance is impossible. Sleep is the state of indifference to God, the state of natural man. The state of awake is the continual consciousness of God. 2 Corinthians 2:14-18, John 15:9-16, Isaiah 59:15-21, 60:1-8, 28:1-4 |
| 02/25 | 1 Thessalonians 5:7-8 | What does it mean to be drunk on the wine of Ephraim? The state of drunkenness is the metaphor for, self-realization, self-seeking, consumed with self. It is the pride of life. Isaiah 28:1-29 |
| 02/26 | 1 Thessalonians 5:7-8 | The world is drunk on the wine of Ephraim. Isaiah 29:1-24 |
| 02/27 | 1 Thessalonians 5:8 | The modern church has millions of dollars in buildings and real-estate. Millions are spent on professional clergy, administration, marketing, advertising and membership drives, we call revivals. What would happen if, just one half of the wealth of the modern Christian church was used to feed the poor, home the homeless, and care for the fatherless and motherless? What does it mean to put on the armor of God, the breastplate? Ephesians 6:10-16, Isaiah 59:14-17, Romans 13:12-14 |
| March 2009 | ||
| 03/02 | 1 Thessalonians 5:8 | We are talking about salvation, and the helmet of salvation. Hope is not wishful thinking, it is the resurrection of Christ, in you. Ephesians 6:10-17, Acts 23:6, Matthew 23:15, Galatians 2:15-21, Isaiah 6:11-13 |
| 03/03 | 1 Thessalonians 5:8 | We are still talking about salvation and what it means. Most Christians define salvation in reference to self. Acts 26:1-8, Hebrews 2:14-16 |
| 03/04 | 1 Thessalonians 5:8 | We are still talking about salvation and what it means. Salvation is intimately connected to the reality of sin. Confessing of sin is more than you might think. 1 John 1:1-10, 3:1-10, Revelation 6:12-17 |
| 03/05 | 1 Thessalonians 5:9 | Have you forgiven yourself or believe that you are still appointed to wrath. Salvation is the beginning of the journey, not the end point. Passover is the picture of salvation. 1 Corinthians 5:10-14 |
| 03/06 | 1 Thessalonians 5:9-11 | We are appointed to suffer affliction. Affliction is anything you don’t like. Christ died instead of us. He suffered the real physical death and, all that it entails so that, we don’t have to. We have it easy, just reckon that you are dead, with him. 1 Thessalonians 3:1-4, Romans 6:1-7, Colossians 2:20-23, 3:1-4 |
| 03/09 | 1 Thessalonians 5:10-11 | God has wrought all your works in you. Sloth is the opposite of love. Sloth is lukewarm, neither yes nor no, double-minded. Sloth is ultimately addiction to self. Isaiah 26:7-16, 2 Peter 3:10-14, Revelation 10:1-6 |
| 03/10 | 1 Thessalonians 5:10-11 | No member of the body of Christ suffers his burden alone. The purpose of the member is the edification of the body. 1 Corinthians 10:23-24 |
| 03/11 | 1 Thessalonians 5:10-11 | We’re still talking about what it means, to edify. Edification is a building process. However, you’re building in Christ, not for yourself. God’s focus is, building the bride. 1 Corinthians 13: (entire chapter), Ruth 4:1-12, Jeremiah 30:18-24, 1 Peter 1:23-25, 2:1-10 |
| 03/12 | 1 Thessalonians 5:10-12 | Authority is in the congregation, which is the body and not in any one individual. Luke 7:19-30, 1 Corinthians 5: (entire chapter) |
| 03/13 | 1 Thessalonians 5:10-12 | Spiritual authority is organic to the body, not in the control of men. It is not assigned by organizations or institutions. 1 Timothy 3:1-4, 5:1-*, 2 Corinthians 2:1-11, 7:8-12 |
| 03/16 | 1 Thessalonians 5:10-12 | Do we speak the full counsel of God? Do we admonish others about the full meaning of discipleship? Acts 20:25-38, 1 Corinthians 4:1-16, 10:1-8, Colossians 1:21-28, 2 Thessalonians 3:11-14, Ephesians 6:14, Titus 3:10-11 |
| 03/17 | 1 Thessalonians 5:12-13 | We esteem for the work’s sake. We consider our losses and trials not as the world would consider them. Philippians 2:1-4, 3:1-7, 2 Thessalonians 3:14-16, Hebrews 11:24-26, James 1:1-2 |
| 03/18 | 1 Thessalonians 5:13-14 | There is peace, according to God and his word and, there is peace according to the world and the flesh. Mark 9:49-50, 1 John 5:1-2, Romans 12:9-18, 2 Corinthians 13:5-11, Hebrews 12:1-29 |
| 03/19 | 1 Thessalonians 5:14 | Encourage the faint hearted and help those that are weak. 1 Timothy 1:8-10, Titus 1:1-12, Isaiah 57:15-18, Proverbs 18:10-16 |
| 03/24 | 1 Thessalonians 5:14 | (To make up for missing recordings of 22 and 23, we will review) The flesh is weak. From God’s perspective, we humans are all the weaker vessel, in need of his strength, grace and mercy. Be patient with all men. Matthew 26:40-42, Romans 5:1-6, 1 Corinthians 1:20-25, 12:12-27, 1 Peter 1:1-8 |
| 03/25 | 1 Thessalonians 5:14-15 | Anger is the opposite of patience. Anger is something of which you must repent, not justify. What is the Biblical meaning of good and evil? Man’s definition of good and evil, means nothing to God. Amos 5:18-21, John 15:18-21 |
| 03/26 | 1 Thessalonians 5:15-17 | The joy of God has nothing to do with this world. We pray without ceasing when you see that, your thoughts are your prayers. Do we give thanks for everything or, for only the things we like? Romans 1:8, 12:1-2, Ephesians 6:13-16, Colossians 4:2, 1 Thessalonians 1:1-2, 2:12-13, Luke 16:19-31 |
| 03/27 | 1 Thessalonians 5:18-19 | Give thanks to God, in all things. If you are making decisions based on the senses and reason, you are walking in the flesh. By walking in the flesh, you cannot be in the will of God. How often do we quench the spirit because we forge ahead in dogged determination with our self-realization. Colossians 2:1-7, 1 Thessalonians 4:3, Ephesians 2:1-8, 1 Peter 4:1-7, Acts 26:12-13 |
| 03/30 | 1 Thessalonians 5:19 | |
| 03/31 | 1 Thessalonians 5:20-21 | To prophesy is to speak through the ability of the Holy Spirit. Genesis 20:1-7, Deuteronomy 18:15-22 |
| April 2009 | ||
| 04/01 | 1 Thessalonians 5:20-21 | We’re still talking about prophecy. The purpose of prophecy is edification of the body, the church. 1 Corinthians 14:1, John 14:1-14, Philippians 1:1-11, 1 John 4:1-4, Romans 11:33-*, 12:1-2, 2 Corinthians 10:1-6 |
| 04/02 | 1 Thessalonians 5:21 | Examine and prove everything. Do you put God to the test for approving him? Romans 1:17-25, 1 Corinthians 3:13-15, 16:1-3, 2 Corinthians 8:16-22, Philippians 1:3-10, 1 Thessalonians 2:3-7, 1 Peter 1:3-9, Proverbs 8:6-8, 17:1-3 |
| 04/03 | 1 Thessalonians 5:21 | Hold fast to the good. What is holding to truth in unrighteousness? Luke 14:7-11, Romans 1:7-18, 5:6, 7:14-21, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-6, Hebrews 3:1-4, 13:18-21, 1 Peter 3:8 |
| 04/06 | 1 Thessalonians 5:22 | We are saved by his life. 2 Corinthians 13:3-6, Romans 5:8-10 |
| 04/07 | 1 Thessalonians 5:23 | A portion of the Truth is revealed in many cultures, mythologies, religions and philosophies. However, the fullness of Truth is the person of Christ Jesus. Babylon is the way of the world. What is peace as it relates to sanctification? Psalms 72:1-8, 85:1-13, Micah 5:1-7, John 14:7, 16:27-33 |
| 04/08 | 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 | Sanctified is to be set apart by God for God’s purpose. Holy is to contain that which you were made to contain. Romans 10:15-24, Revelation 22:6-12, Zechariah 11:4-9, Deuteronomy 27:1-8, Isaiah 19:16-24 |
| 04/09 | 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 | We are living stones. Until the trial, you know nothing of faith. Your faith is always tested to show you his faithfulness. We still think that, ‘his coming’ is a future event rather than his presence. 1 Peter 1-10, 2 Timothy 2:7-13, John 1:1-14 |
| 04/10 | 1 Thessalonians 5:24 | He called you before the foundation of the world. Do not localize your God by placing him in a box. God is beyond all comprehension and beyond the control of man. 1 Corinthians 1:4-9, Galatians 1:6, 5:1-8, John 16:18-20, 1 Peter 5:1-10 |
| 04/13 | 1 Thessalonians 5:25 | The number of false Gospels were many and the apostles knew it. This ends our lessons on the apostles Paul’s first letter to the Thessalonians. 2 Thessalonians 2:1, 3:17, Luke 1:1-2 |
| 04/14 | 2 Timothy 1:1 | We are starting a new study. This is the last letter written by the apostle Paul. The promise of life is, Jesus Christ. Romans 8:28-33, Hebrews 12:11-29 |
| 04/15 | 2 Timothy 1:1 | We are talking more on the promise of God. Unlike the human being, God is absolutely faithful and able to fulfill his promise. Acts 23:20-21, Galatians 3:1-14, Luke 24:44-53, Hebrews 9:11-14 |
| 04/16 | 2 Timothy 1:1 | We are looking at the first and the last letters from the apostle Paul, to observe the consistency. We are taking a look at the meaning of the word ‘life’. Union with God is life, separation from God, is death. John 1:1-4, 2 Corinthians 5:10-14, Romans 7:1-24 |
| 04/17 | 2 Timothy 1:1 | We are taking a look at, what it means to be, in Christ and, how that relates to the covenant. We will look at the mercy seat and the oracle of God. Exodus 25:10-22, 1 Kings 6:14-19, Psalms 28:1-6, 2 Samuel 16:23, Acts 7:30-38, Hebrews 5:1-14, 1 Peter 4:5-11 |
| 04/20 | 2 Timothy 1:1 | We are talking more on the arc of the covenant and the promise of life. The ark of the covenant is fulfilled in Jesus Christ. Jeremiah 3:6-16, 1 John 2:1-14, Luke 24:13-31 |
| 04/21 | 2 Timothy 1:1 | We are still talking about the Ark of the Covenant and the oracle of God. If any man speaks, let him speak as the oracle of God. 1 Peter 4:7-11, 1 Kings 6:1-19, Acts 7:30-38 |
| 04/22 | 2 Timothy 1:1 | We are still talking about the Ark of the Covenant and the oracle of God. Ephesians 1:3-6, Revelations 13:6-18 |
| 04/23 | 2 Timothy 1:1 | If the urgency is lacking, so is the fear of God. The full mystery of God is, Christ in you and, you, in Christ. 1 Peter 4:5-8, Ephesians 3:14-21, 4:1-6 |
| 04/24 | 2 Timothy 1:2 | If you do not know that you are blind and naked, you cannot know mercy. The greatest enemy of mercy is cause-and-effect. The instance you have an investment in the outcome, you are not doing it as unto God. You know peace only when you are not a debtor to your mind. The mystery of God comes, not preaching about the cross but picking up the cross. Deuteronomy 29:10-21, Numbers 15:37-41 |
| 04/27 | 2 Timothy 1:2 | All that man wants is evil. From a biblical perspective, what is peace? Jeremiah 6:7-14, 8:1-13, Ezekiel 22:23-31, Numbers 15:32-34, Isaiah 30:1-15 |
| 04/28 | 2 Timothy 1:3-4 | What is service to the Lord? What is not, service to the Lord? Romans 12:1, John 15:18-27, 16:1-4, Joshua 24:14, 1 Peter 4:5-7, 2 Corinthians 3:12-18, 4:1-6, Hebrews 9:1-28 |
| 04/29 | 2 Timothy 1:4 | What is spiritual desire? What are the tears? 2 Corinthians 5:1-2, Hebrews 5:8-12 12:17, 1 Peter 1:22-25, 2:1-3, Luke 7:36-39 |
| 04/30 | 2 Timothy 1:4 | We are talking about joy. Joy is not the same as gladness or happiness. Joy is the confidence that God is sovereign and in control. Joy is the knowledge that you are, where you should be, doing what, you should be doing, when you should be doing it. John 8: 31-59, Luke 1:39-44, 1 Peter 1:3-7, Philippians 1:1-4 |
| May 2009 | ||
| 05/01 | 2 Timothy 1:5 | How can you have faked faith? Are you the same inside as you are outside? When people look at you, do they see you or an act? Matthew 22:15-22, 23:24-28, Acts 24:10-16 |
| 05/06 | 2 Timothy 1:5 | Do you know that Christ is in you? All else is meaningless and futile. John 1:1-14, 2 Corinthians 13:3-5, 1 Timothy 6:13-17, Hebrews 10:9-14, Colossians 1:12-28, Ephesians 3:13-21 |
| 05/08 | 2 Timothy 1:5-6 | What does it mean to say, I am persuaded. The fruit of the spirit describes the person of Jesus Christ. The gift is the activity of Jesus Christ. No one owns or possesses or controls the gift. The gift is not for you but for the edification of the body which is Christ. Romans 8:33-38, 14:13-16, 2 Timothy 1:9-12, Galatians 5:22-24, 1 Corinthians 12:1-31 |
| 05/11 | 2 Timothy 1:6 | The variations by which the gift is demonstrated are many but the gift is singular. The gift is Jesus Christ. Laying on of hands is not imparting a gift, which is just religious egotism. It is the identification of one’s self with the other. Romans 5:10-21, 6:20-23, 11:25-29, 1 Peter 4:5-7, Revelation 13:1-12 |
| 05/13 | 2 Timothy 1:7 | The modern and popular use of the word power is not Biblical. It is not sensational or forceful, it is not dynamite. Power, according to scripture, is quiet assurance of the natural ability of Christ in you. Luke 1:5-17, Matthew 3:1-9, 1 Corinthian 4:1-21, 2 Corinthians 4:7 |
| 05/14 | 2 Timothy 1:7 | We are still talking about the meaning of the word power. In our position of weakness his power is made known.2 Corinthians 12:1-10, 13:1-4, Hebrews 7:16, 11:24-34, Acts 4:23-33 |
| 05/15 | 2 Timothy 1:7 | A sound mind is a disciplined mind, not at the mercy of the world. Your first concern is your first love. 2 Corinthians 5:10-14, Revelation 2:1-5, 14:12-13 |
| 05/18 | 2 Timothy 1:8 | We are talking about shame. Guilt is about what you do, shame is about who you are. Mark 8:34-38, 1 Corinthians 4:8-16, Isaiah 52:13-15, 53:1-6, Luke 9:23-27, Romans 1:13-16 |
| 05/19 | 2 Timothy 1:8 | We are still talking about shame. Instead of the joy set before him, Jesus endured the tree of shame. Hebrew 12:1-2, Mark 15:1-24 |
| 05/20 | 2 Timothy 1:8 | We are still talking about shame. Shame is kept hidden in the darkness but vanishes in the light. Isaiah 54:1-7, 1:29, 45:5-11, Daniel 12, Joel 2:23-27, Psalms 35:1-28, 119:6-12 |
| 05/21 | 2 Timothy 1:8 | We are still talking about shame. Romans 5:1-4, 10:6-8, Hebrews 12:2-4, 1 Corinthians 1:5-31 |
| 05/22 | 2 Timothy 1:8 | We are wrapping up on the topic of shame. Shame includes the knowledge that we have profoundly disappointed another. There is a difference between a trespass and sin. There is nothing to do about shame but die. |
| 05/26 | 2 Timothy 1:8 | We are still wrapping up on the topic of shame. Joel 2:1-12, Isaiah 29:17-22, 50:1-7, Jeremiah 6:8-15, 20:7-11 |
| 05/27 | 2 Timothy 1:9-10 | We are not of this world which is temporary and fading away. Even two thousand years ago the time was at hand. The purpose for time and space is finished. Romans 13:10-12, 1 Peter 4:5-8, Mark 1:14-15, 2 Peter 3:1-17 |
| 05/28 | 2 Timothy 1:9-10 | Don’t be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord Jesus. Do we offer the full counsel of God? Acts 4:10-16, 7:44-56, Revelation 15:1-12, 19:16 |
| 05/29 | 2 Timothy 1:9-10 | All that the carnal mind can do is be ashamed. Until the circumcision of the heart, you will not hear. Revelations 12:7, Romans 2:28-29, John 8:31-58 |
| June 2009 | ||
| 06/01 | 2 Timothy 1:9-10 | Are you ashamed of his testimony? Amos 3:1-8, 5:16-20, Acts 26:1-18 |
| 06/02 | 2 Timothy 1:7-10 | What has happened to the church? Where has the testimony of Jesus Christ gone? 2 Thessalonians 1:7-12, 2:1-4, Romans 7:14-25 |
| 06/03 | 2 Timothy 1:7-10 | Do you really think that God depends on mortal flesh to preach the Gospel? Do you really think that the will and the plan of God rests on the flawed nature of the human race? Mark 4:1-12, Colossians 1:3-23, Matthew 23:13-16 |
| 06/04 | 2 Timothy 1:8-10 | Without a doubt, if you present the full testimony of our Lord, it will cause affliction. Psalms 34:18-20, 2 Corinthians 4:1-18, 6:1-10, 2 Timothy 2:1-13 |
| 06/05 | 2 Timothy 1:6-10 | The only purpose for time and space is the testing and perfecting of the bride of Christ, which is the true church. Colossians 1:8-16, 1 John 1:1-12, Revelation 20:11-15, 19:1-13, Ephesians 1:15-23, 3:14-23 |
| 06/08 | 2 Timothy 1:9 | He calls you by name. The mystery is not about the identity that you created for yourself. . How much of your time and effort is spent protecting and justifying your own self? The job of any one that calls themselves a preacher is to destroy the idols in the temple which is you. The only thing that will remain is faith. 2 Corinthians 13:5, Psalms 139:1-24 |
| 06/09 | 2 Timothy 1:9 | The calling is by name. We are also talking about the consecrated bread, the shewbread. The shewbread is connected to the meaning of purpose. Luke 2:21, Matthew 9:1, Luke 6:1-5, Leviticus 24:5-9, John 6:43-48, Exodus 25:23-30, Numbers 4:1-7 |
| 06/10 | 2 Timothy 1:9 | We are talking more on the shewbread and how it relates to the word purpose. Hebrews 8:10-13, 9:1-2, Exodus 25:23-30, Isaiah 5:1-18, 1 Samuel 21-1-6, Matthew 12:1-7 |
| 06/11 | 2 Timothy 1:9 | We are still talking about the shewbread, the bread of the presence. What happens when we attempt to move the sacred into the world? Has the modern church done this? The way to place back the sacred objects of the temple is repentance. Daniel 5:1-26 |
| 06/12 | 2 Timothy 1:9 | The purpose of Christ is to be the bread of life. This mystery is in the mind of God, before the beginning of time. The only purpose for time is the perfecting of the bride of Christ. 1 Peter 2:1-10, Romans 16:25, Titus 1:1-2, Luke 1:67-70, Acts 3:17-18, 2 Corinthians 5:13-17, Galatians 6:11-15 |
| 06/15 | 2 Timothy 1:10 | The mystery of God, which is Christ in you, has been revealed. Romans 1:17-19 16:25, 1 Timothy 3:14-16, Colossians 1:27-19-27, Daniel 9:20 |
| 06/16 | 2 Timothy 1:10 | What does it mean that he is made manifest? If Messiah came today, how would he prove who he is without performing tricks? There is no temple nor is there scriptural authority. James 1:12-16, Luke 17:20-21, Mark 1:9-16, 2 Corinthians 4:12-18 |
| 06/17 | 2 Timothy 1:10 | The time is fulfilled, the Kingdom of God is here. Matthew 11:7-19, Mark 1:1-12, Ezekiel 34:1-31 |
| 06/18 | 2 Timothy 1:10 | His presence and his coming are simultaneously true. When you are born again as a believer, you are translated to the Kingdom, which is eternity. Matthew 11:12, Luke 16:15, Hebrews 2:6-9 |
| 06/19 | 2 Timothy 1:10 | What does it mean that Jesus has abolished death? Genesis 2:15-24, 1 Corinthians 15:34-57, Galatians 2:15-21 |
| 06/22 | 2 Timothy 1:10 | We are still talking about the meaning of the term: abolished death. We are human beings, sons of Adam, of the earth, natural. It is the Adam nature that has been abolished. The last man, which is Christ, abolished the first man, which is Adam. Romans 5:6-21 6:1-11, Colossians 2:20-23, 3:1-3, Revelations 13:1-11, 14:12-13 |
| 06/23 | 2 Timothy 1:10 | We are still talking about the meaning of the term: abolished death. The entire Bible can be seen as the story of two men, Adam and Christ Jesus. The fear of death, which is fear of separation, has lost its power. 1 Corinthians 15:42-48, Matthew 18:15-18, Hebrews 2:8-15, Ephesians 1:3-7, 2:1-19 |
| 06/24 | 2 Timothy 1:10 | We are still talking about the meaning of the term: abolished death. The mystery of God is never more than to reckon you are dead. Spiritually, you never existed until you died and were born again. 2 Timothy 2:11-13, Ephesians 5:6-16, Colossians 2:6-23, 3:1-7 |
| 06/26 | Acts 2 | Calling on the name of the Lord (Gary B.) |
| July 2009 | ||
| 07/01 | The law is spiritual. We never leave the cross. (Gary B.) | |
| 07/06 | Psalms 51 | When you look at yourself, you see sin. You cannot fix it, you can only leave it, repent. (John R.) |
| 07/07 | When you look at yourself, you see sin. You cannot fix it, you can only leave it, repent. (John R.) | |
| 07/09 | Jeremiah 9, 21-26, 10:1-2 |
Do we understand or know God. Do we trust and rest in him completely or do we still entertain idols just in case. (John R.) |
| 07/10 | Psalms 52 | We are still talking about idolatry in our lives. The external idols are but a reflection of the internal ones. Idolatry begins as an idea in the mind. (John R.) |
| 07/13 | We will resume 2 Timothy after this short side trip. The last enemy to be abolished is death. Unless a seed dies and falls into the ground, it abides alone. Pain and suffering is an integral part of the process, not an unfortunate event that God later repairs. John 12:20-26, 1 Corinthians 15:25-31, 2 Corinthians 4:7-9, Colossians 2:20-23 | |
| 07/14 | Christ did not come to make bad men good, he came to make dead men live. The predicate to true Christianity is your death. After that you are born again, a new creature, unlike the old. 2 Corinthians 5:10-17, 10:3-7, Revelation 17:3-5 | |
| 07/15 | We are still talking about your death as the predicate to Christianity. You must say, as did the apostle Paul, yet not I. Today is the only accepted time; we are in the night of the last day. Galatians 2:16-21, 3:1-7, Hebrews 3:7-19, 4:1-11 | |
| 07/16 | Leading into the fast of Tammuz, we are talking about graven images. Why did the act of naming precede the fall? Language is the tool we use to create our own reality and our own self. The graven image is an idea of the human mind which becomes an idol. What we call time is a result of naming, language, and reason. Genesis 2:15-21 | |
| 07/17 | We are talking about the fast of Tammuz and some basic principles and understanding of this set time . All is accomplished at the cross, there is nothing else left but to repent. Daniel 9:20-24 | |
| 07/21 | Luke 18:9-30 | We are still on the topic of the fast of Tammuz and idolatry. Idolatry is the obstacle between you and joy. There are many forms of riches, not all are about money. (John R.) |
| 07/22 | 2 Timothy 1:8-10 | We are going to review verses 8 through 10. Your testimony is about your death, being buried with him in baptism otherwise, it’s just philosophy and mere words. Things that are temporal have nothing to do with eternity. Philippians 2:5-7 |
| 07/23 | 2 Timothy 1:9-10 | Until we see the end of time in us, we continue to work at or own redemption. Faith is not faith until it is automatic. It is not automatic until you reckon you are dead and free of all internal possessions. Mark 1:1-9, 16:9-10, Romans 1:16-23, 16:25-27, Psalms 19:1-3 |
| 07/24 | 2 Timothy 1:10 | The phrase, in Christ, appears over two hundred times in the Bible. Christ is in all men but this will avail you nothing unless you are also in him. That is impossible if you are still in you. Christ is in eternity and, if you are in him, that is where you are. Colossians 1:12-27, 1 Timothy 3:14-16 |
| 07/27 | 2 Timothy 1:10 | Death is separation from God, fellowship is the reverse, it is life. Fear of death then, is fear of separation. That you wait on him, is evidence that this fear is abolished in you. 2 Corinthians 3:15-*, 4:1-6, Hebrews 2:14-*, 1 John 2,5-* Colossians 2:12, 3:1-3 |
| 07/28 | 2 Timothy 1:10-11 | Immortality means no death but it also means no time. The Gospel has been preached from the beginning, by all that God has created. The Gospel has never been without a voice. 1 Timothy 6:13-17, John 15:16-17, Psalms 19:1-14, 2 Peter 2:1-5, John 8:47, Romans 10:4-8 |
| 07/29 | 2 Timothy 1:11 | Anyone that goes forth and proclaims the mystery of God in the Gospel is an apostle, and a teacher. All is done by the spirit according to faith not according to the flesh and your own arm of understanding. Ephesians 4:11, Luke 2:41-52, 2 Timothy 4:1-4, Romans 11:33-*, 12:1-2, Jeremiah 1:4-6 |
| 07/30 | 2 Timothy 1:12 | What does it mean to be persuaded? Acts 26:22-28, Romans 8:28-39, 14, 1-23, 15:7-15, 1 Timothy 6:7-21 |
| August 2009 | ||
| 08/03 | 2 Timothy 1:12 | We are still talking about the day of the Lord, that day. We have been in the night of the last day for two thousand years. Zechariah 12:1-14, 13:1-9, Malachi 3:16-18, 4:1-6, 2 Peter 3:8-18, Mark 4:1-20, 1 Corinthians 5:1-5, 2 Corinthians 1:13-14 |
| 08/04 | 2 Timothy 1:12 | We are still talking about on that day and the meaning thereof. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3, Galatians 3:9-20, James 1:7-15 |
| 08/05 | 2 Timothy 1:13 | Are we rightly dividing the word of truth? We are to put on the armor of God. We wear Christ as our garment of salvation. As long as you still think this mystery of God has anything to do with you, you have on the wrong garment. Revelation 22:1-21, Romans 13:10-14, Galatians 3:22-29, Ephesians 4:17-32 |
| 08/06 | 2 Timothy 1:13-14 | What does it mean to put on Christ? We are also looking at types and patterns. John 5:1-9, Exodus 25:37,Romans 2:17,1 Timothy 1:15, Hebrews 8:1-9 Matthew 13:8, Luke 8:4-15, Romans 7:5-25 |
| 08/07 | 2 Timothy 1:15 | The same apostasy that happened in Asia is going on elsewhere. Is the resurrection of the past and is his coming of the future, or is it in you right now? Luke 23, Acts 13:40-46, 2 Timothy 2:7-19, 1 John 3:23-24, 4:1-3 |
| 08/11 | 2 Timothy 2:1-4 | How does God define a good soldier? 2 Kings 23:*, 1 Chronicles 29:1-20, Matthew 8:5-13, 1 Timothy 1:17-20 |
| 08/12 | 2 Timothy 2:4 | We are still talking about the good soldier. The warfare is internal. Do you see that you are the chief of sinners? If not, neither do you see the grace and mercy of God which is in Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:13-14, Romans 12:1-2, 1 Timothy 1:5-10, 2 Thessalonians 2:3-7, James 4:1-10, 1 Peter 2:9-11, Jude 1:1-16 |
| 08/13 | 2 Timothy 2:4 | What does it mean to God to be a warrior? We are not to inner weave ourselves with the threads of time and space. Love neither the world nor the things of the world. 1 Corinthians 9:24-28, 2 Peter 2:12-22, Proverbs 28, 1 John 2:15-16 |
| 08/14 | 2 Timothy 2:4 | The external is meaningless, it is the religion that is going on internally that matters. That is where the warfare takes place. Are you pleasing the one that enlisted you or is it your own personal self? Philippians 3:7-11, Romans 8:5-7, 14:22-23, 15:1-3, Galatians 1:10, 1 Thessalonians 3:11-13 |
| 08/17 | 2 Timothy 2:5-6 | There is the crown of eternity and the crown of the world. Which are you chasing? When the temple was on earth, the work was never done. When the temple is in the New Jerusalem, it is finished, nothing more to do. All that dwell in the world are deceived. Revelation 6:1-3, 19:1-13, Matthew 21:33-45, John 11:47-54 |
| 08/18 | 2 Timothy 2:6 | Can you, right now, put aside everything of time and space and give it no breath? With all that is going on around you, can you remain on the mercy seat? James 5:1-8, Genesis 3:14-16, Philippians 3:17-19, John 15:1-8, Matthew 18:1-6 |
| 08/19 | 2 Timothy 2:6 | What is meant by partaker? To partake of Christ is to put on Christ. Esther 4:15-16, Matthew 7:13-21 |
| 08/20 | 2 Timothy 2:6 | The fruit is the visible expression of the power within. Galatians 5:16-25, Philippians 1:3-6, Hebrews 12:9-11, James 3:13-18, Jeremiah 1:1-9 |
| 08/21 | 2 Timothy 2:6 | May God give you understanding. Mark 7:14-23, 1 Timothy 1:5-7, Hebrews 11:1-12, Luke 2:41-54, Colossians 1:9 Ephesians 3:1-6, 1:16-19 |
| 08/24 | Don’t sweat it. Don’t put on the garment of Iniquity. Matthew 6:25, 13:18-22, Ezekiel 44:16, Psalms 6:1-8 (John R.) | |
| 08/25 | Can you say Jesus is the Christ? Christ and the Father are one. It is all or none. God is all and, in all. John 17:7-26 (Gary B.) | |
| 08/26 | The Psalms are the cry of Christ and tell us much about waiting. . Waiting is not done with expectation of a desired outcome but in rest and trust in God’s perfect wisdom. Psalms 62 (John R.) | |
| 08/27 | It is all from, through, and for, Jesus Christ. We are partakers. John 17:9-13 (Gary B.) | |
| 08/28 | From the Talmud, we are reading a story about the two cherubim of the Ark of the Covenant. The relationship of Israel to God is compared to that of a bride and groom. No matter how it may appear from the outside, the cherubim are still embracing. Exodus 25:10-23 (John R.) | |
| 08/31 | 2 Timothy 2:7 | We are talking more about the meaning of understanding and the meaning of the seed. If Christ is external to you then Christianity is only a philosophy, a mere religion. There is always enmity between the seed of the snake and the seed of woman. The snake is the human mind. Luke 2:45-54, Colossians 1:9, 2:2-6t, Genesis 3:14-15, 4:25, 13:14-16, Galatians 3:16 |
| September 2009 | ||
| 09/01 | 2 Timothy 2:8 | We’re still talking about the seed of woman. It is all about the seed of the Lord, which is Christ. Faith can only be seen through the seed in you. Hebrews 11:8, 11:24-26, 1 John 3:6-9, 1:1-10, Isaiah 53:1-10 |
| 09/02 | 2 Timothy 2:8-9 | If you are chasing it, it is not the anointing, not the Christ. How long will you go from conference to conference to chase after that emotional high? If you are dead with him, you are also raised with him. It is not going to happen, it already happened. Mark 13:21-22, Matthew 11:1-6, 27:46-54, 2 Corinthians 4:1-14 |
| 09/03 | 2 Timothy 2:10 | The definition of disciple is to continue in his temptations. It is about his temptations, not yours. Luke 22:28, Hebrews 4:11-15, John 8:39-47, John 6:66, 1 John 4:17 |
| 09/04 | 2 Timothy 2:10 | To endure means to continue with him in his temptations. God will change your circumstances to reveal which mind is operating, yours or Christ. A slave is not greater than his master. If they hate Christ, they will hate you. John 15:11-21 |
| 09/08 | 2 Timothy 2:10 | We are still talking about what it means to endure. Isaiah 50:1-7, Ezekiel 1:27-28, 2:1-10, 3:1-11, Luke 9:47-50, Revelation 3:7-13 |
| 09/09 | 2 Timothy 2:10 | We are still talking about what it means to endure. He who endures to the end will be saved. To endure is to wait, to wait is to love. Matthew 10:16-22, 24:10-13, Romans 8:28-38, 1 Corinthians 2:1-9, Isaiah 64:1-4 |
| 09/10 | 2 Timothy 2:10 | What is the meaning of the elect? Who is and who is not one of the elect is none of our business. It is God that chooses in his timing, his wisdom for his purpose. Hebrews 11:21-40, 1 Corinthians 10:1-6, 3:18-23, Romans 10:6-8 |
| 09/11 | 2 Timothy 2:10 | We are still talking about the elect. What is the meaning of glory? Romans 8:28-32, 2 Corinthians 2:14-17, 3:14-18, 4:1-3 |
| 09/14 | 2 Timothy 2:11-13 | Since we are dead with him, we are also raised with him. Our death is the predicate to our Christianity. Is this preached in modern Christian churches? Romans 6:8, 8:17 |
| 09/15 | 2 Timothy 2:11-13 | Your death is the beginning of your Christianity, not the end. It is not a philosophical or a metaphorical death. It is your real death and it is the necessary predicate of true Christianity. Mark 14:26-31, 2 Corinthians 10:14, Romans 6:1-11, Colossians 3:1-3, Galatians 2:20, Matthew 6:24-33 |
| 09/16 | 2 Timothy 2:11-13 | To suffer with him means to abide under all circumstances. To rule with him means you are a subject of the Kingdom of God not of this world, this flesh. Matthew 5:1-13, 1 Corinthians 4:1-16, Luke 22:24-30, Romans 5:17, Revelation 5:1-10 |
| 09/17 | 2 Timothy 2:11-13 | If we suffer with him, we rule with him. If we deny him, he will deny us. Revelation 22:1-5, Mark 8:34, Matthew 10:32-39, 2 Timothy 3:1-3, 2 Peter 1:20-21, 2:1, Jude 1:4 |
| 09/18 | 2 Timothy 2:11-13 | He cannot deny himself. To be faithful is the nature of Christ. You are on your way to a funeral or you are on your way to a wedding. Matthew 7:21-22, 16:21-25 |
| 09/21 | Psalms 47 | John R. fills in |
| 09/22 | 2 Timothy 2:11-16 | If you do not know that you are dead with him Christianity is only a philosophy. Scripture is Torah. When you read scripture with the eyes of the cross, you see only Christ. 1 Timothy 5:17-22, 2 Timothy 3:14-17, 4:1-2 |
| 09/23 | 2 Timothy 2:14-16 | Anything other than faith is a catastrophe. Be eager and diligent to present yourself a living sacrifice. 2 Peter 2:1-6, 2 Corinthians 10:3-8, 13:5-10, Galatians 2:10, Ephesians 4:1-3, 1 Thessalonians 2:17 |

| October 2009 | ||
| 10/01 | 2 Timothy 2:16-19 | Truth is that which does not change with time. To error is to miss the mark, even a tiny bit. What does it mean that the resurrection has passed already? 1 Timothy 1:1-7, 6:13-21, 1 Corinthians 12, 2 Corinthians 13:5, Colossians 1:22-29 |
| 10/02 | 2 Timothy 2:16-19 | If Christ is in you, you cannot say the resurrection has passed already. The resurrection is now, in you. John 11:21-26, Galatians 4:16-19, 2:20, 1 John 4:1-6, John 2:13-15, Titus 1:10 |
| 10/05 | 2 Timothy 2:17-19 | The seal is the stamp of authenticity. First must come the destruction of your inner idols in the high places of your mind. Ezekiel 9:7-14 |
| 10/06 | Matthew 22:1-14 | The feast of Tabernacle is all about the wedding. Your own garment will not do for; it denies the sanctity of the wedding. You must have on Christ. (John R.) |
| 10/07 | 1 John 3:2 | When He appears, we will be like Him because we will see Him just as He is. (Gary B.) |
| 10/08 | 2 Timothy 2:19 | The firm foundation of God stands having this seal, “The Lord knows those who are His.” All of Ezekiel 8 and 9 is about the seal.
