Richard Adair's - Bible Study Lessons

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 our troubles to the Lord. We know we can't earn our way to heaven but I'll be John Brown if we both don't think at times Jesus won't bless us unless we are absolutely Perfect! We don't realize that in Jesus we are Perfect by His blood and we don't have to earn His peace He's given us. Take time to use a little faith and watch Him help us through ever trial we ever face with the assurance He will protect us at all times!

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. Oh how fitting this is for us today. We can get so wrapped up in our hurts that we forget we have a benefit from God to be healed. Make sure you take time to use this benefit! Stop thinking about all the people you know that have been sick or even died and just play-like that the Bible is true. That's called faith. Why would God write such promises just to let us down? If you would just be bold enough to try Jesus would help you.

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 like God wants you to.

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!

We do not even need a Bible if we continue to believe God could care less about us. Condemnation can get so great and common in our lives that we actually believe God never loved us to begin with. Oh how wrong that thinking actually is. God demonstrated His love toward us while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. For God so loved the World.... and yet another place it says "who loved me and gave Himself for me". Wrong believing here as you know gets you no where fast! If you don't think you're God's friend then you have not heard the Story of Jesus! He came to get you to be His friend. Remember Zacheus? I'm coming to your house today, Jesus said! Shake off your fears and accept His friendship and watch Him help you TODAY!

Faith is so simple. We use it every day. However, when it comes to God many times we feel we are just to not expect anything, but rather take life's hand no matter how its dealt to us. Many believe this infact is faith, but it couldn't be further from trusting the Lord. Anyone can accept difficulties in their lives, but it takes faith to believe God has something better for you than a life full of heartaches. When we read God's Word its like a different world! Exactly! Start believing what you see written in the Bible is for you TODAY! It will happen and you'll make God proud that you dared believe His promises!!!

Prayer in the Bible is not trial and error. Neither is it termed "yes, no or maybe". Biblical prayer is recieve what you ask for and not take no for an answer. "Is anything to hard for the Lord"? The easiest thing to do is continue to convince ourselves that God doesn't want to grant us what we ask for. Stay ahead of the unbelief. Stop believing things like this. Become more like King David who never thought his prayers would be unanswered. That kind of thinking was for the idols people worshipped because idols had no miraculous ability to help like our God can and will! Stop your whining and start your trusting Jesus today!

Why is it we believe more in ourselves than in Jesus? So often we think Jesus just won't help me because of some reason or another. Thats funny! Hebrews 13:8 says Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever. No one that ever came to Jesus for help did He turn down. Stop trying to be the first. Your unbelief will only delay your miracles that you need right now. Jesus will not every run out of love for you nor miracles. He said He would do more miracles that you may MARVEL! Are we done marveling at creation? Has the beauty of God's Creation suddenly become boring? I don't think so! Start looking for God's help and your miracle, TODAY!

Dont ever worry! Jesus is your High Priest and He knows your shortcomings. Condemnation is real and it originates from the Devil. You will be your own worst enemy if you do not take time to believe God's Word concerning forgiveness. Why is it we feel we are supposed to forgive everyone, but one little mistake we make send God packing we feel and He doesn't forgive us. Well, that's simply not true. "Forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us"! Its that simple! I'm supposed to forgive and Jesus is faithful and just to forgive you the same! That being so, why the sad face? Why feel like God won't help me with some problem? Reverse the feelings and start trusting in God even when you make a mistake! Isaiah 1:18-19 Come let us reason together says the Lord though you sins be as scarlet they shall be as white as snow, though they be red like crimson they shall be as wool. If you be willing and obedient you shall eat the good of the land!

So much of the time we feel because of our mistakes this somehow stops the miraculous in our lives. If that's really so when do we get the miraculous back? Truly to think this way is utterly absurd when you look at all the sinners Jesus helped. Which ones did He turn down because they were too sinful or perhaps had recently sinned? Not hardly! Our self punishment will not move Jesus one inch. When we quit pointing the condemning finger at ourselves and start trusting in Jesus for His help we'll get out of our problems immediately. The scriptures plainly teach this. To believe something else is to miss your own mercy! Start trusting Jesus now to get you out of your most pressing problem! He will do it! He's not called a Savior for nothing! Soon you be singing and praising His Name and happy and wanting to tell everyone what great things Jesus is doing for you.

Sometimes we feel we are so alone, but we are NOT. There's special angels assigned to us all. They are under command of God to protect us. Do we ever NEED IT!

God's Peace belongs to you and me. The bible tells us this. God's Peace is amazing passing all our understanding. This is one of the outstanding benefits of knowing Jesus. When we feel like there's no way we can stop worrying about a problem we can find this peace to set us free from all torment and make us smile.

Typically we tend to believe the worst about ourselves as we stand before God. Jesus will make you relax and start believing in His mercy for you. Many people came to Jesus asking for His mercy and he Never turned them down and He won't you. Jesus wants to help you. Too often we feel we need to pay for His help. Stop thinking that way. You couldn't afford it anyway and besides His help is free!

Yes we have a common enemy. The Bible refers to him as the Devil, but we can beat him in every circumstance. Our lives down here on earth are not supposed to be full of torment. Jesus came that we might have life and have it more abundantly.

We give up way to easily. We really shouldn't give up so quickly!!! Listen and see why!

The Scriptures are full of stories of Angels. They have specific instructions to PROTECT you and I.

This gets difficult but its part of our walk with Jesus. The easiest thing to do is just worry until a problem finally passes, but the hard part is to expect the miracles of the Bible to be yours and fix it. Believing is trusting. Sometimes trusting is so hard when all we see is the problem and all we think about is it too. In the same way Casting Our Worries On The Lord is the same process. Make all you see about you problem be the promise of God to get you out of your problem and make every thought you have think how wonderful its going to be to have Jesus get you out of this mess. Thats called "casting your cares over on Him". This takes effort because when things appear hopeless we want to just quit. Don't quit though! Keep up the pressure! Your miracle will happen!
