Bible Studies

Two of the four chapters I see the Holy Spirit highlighting this year are Jeremiah 24 and Matthew 24. I want to launch this study from the key verse below, but what is revealed at the end of this study connects to Jeremiah 24.  “For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.” (‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24‬:‭5‬) Now this verse has heavily been preached and taught as a warning of those who personally come claiming to be the Messiah. It’s also been said beware of those who come claiming their anointing. I say yes to...

‭‭Genesis‬ ‭21‬:‭8‬-‭12‬ (‭NLT‬‬)“When Isaac grew up and was about to be weaned, Abraham prepared a huge feast to celebrate the occasion. But Sarah saw Ishmael—the son of Abraham and her Egyptian servant Hagar—making fun of her son, Isaac. So she turned to Abraham and demanded, “Get rid of that slave woman and her son. He is not going to share the inheritance with my son, Isaac. I won’t have it!” This upset Abraham very much because Ishmael was his son. But God told Abraham, “Do not be upset over the boy and your servant. Do whatever Sarah tells you, for...

Ephesians 6:18 (TPT)“…Pray passionately in the Spirit, as you constantly intercede with every form of prayer at all times. Pray the blessings of God upon all his believers.”The first thing we will quickly notice is that unlike all of the other verses on the Armor this is the only one that does not specifically reveal what the weapon is. So unless we take a closer look at the Roman soldier we might think that there are only six weapons, however this is short of God’s number of seven (completion). Now as we look at who the Holy Spirit inspired Paul...

Ephesians 6:17 (TPT)“...And take the mighty razor-sharp Spirit-sword of the spoken word of God” In spiritual warfare battles WILL come, but they will not come every day. Does that mean we can be laxed and not armor up daily? Do not be silly! I believe a big part of operating in the authority of the believer is we MUST suit up every single day, NO MATTER WHAT! There are multiple pieces to the Armor of God. The three I want to ensure are always ready are the Belt of Truth, Shield of Faith, and the Sword of the Spirit. By...

Ephesians 6:17 (TPT)“Embrace the power of salvation’s full deliverance, like a helmet to protect your thoughts from lies…”God has given us three pieces of the Armor that are offensive, three that are defensive, and one that is neutral. The Breastplate, Shield and Helmet are all defensive weapons, they protect us and give us the confidence to continue to mature in our spiritual growth. Now the three offensive weapons are the Shoes, Sword, and Lance, and these enable us to enforce and demonstrate Satan’s already secured defeat in Jesus Christ! The neutral weapon is the Belt of Truth, the Holy Scripture,...
