Stand On The Victorious Ground

You Already Possess!

Greetings!

JESUS CHRIST IS GOD!

Our God calls Himself many things in Isaiah, Chapter 44, Verse 6…

Read Isaiah 44:6 Click Here

He is the Lord…God the Son…He is Jesus…the Christ…the Jewish Messiah…He is the unique Person of the universe…He will rule as King over Israel during His millennial reign…as the Redeemer, He has purchased us from slavery to sin…He has always existed…as the preeminent One, He is above all others.

Why Do We Study the Word of God?

We study for situations when people assail our dedication to the Lord. People who place their eyes on mankind forget that God has an enemy who both sponsors and perpetrates evil. God gets blamed for what His enemy does. Even though God allows evil, He does not sponsor it. How do we know? The Bible tells us so.

Read James 1:13-14 Click Here

Always compare what you learn, both at Barah Ministries and in the world, with what the Bible says.

We encourage believers to gather themselves together with other believers instead of retreating from each other to do Biblical study alone or only online. Being with like-minded people is immeasurably valuable.

God’s Enemy is Satan!

He is a deceiver who hates everyone in the world, including you. Satan wants you to feel guilty about your mistakes. He entices you to focus on yourself and your sins. Why? Because if you focus on God and His Word instead, you will find relief for your guilt.

Read 1 John 2:1-2 Click Here

There is no need to feel guilty for your mistakes. When you make mistakes, go TO God…not away from Him. Don’t listen to the liar!

The Inside Job!

The church at Colossae was under attack from false teachers who sought to infiltrate the church with their false teaching. In our lives today, the same exact thing is going on. Demonic forces seek to destroy our churches from within…quite often through other Christians. Wolves in sheep’s clothing seek to destroy what God is building.

Read Matthew 7:15 Click Here

Ravenous... those who are eager to satisfy themselves at your expense. Those who are greedy…who seek to plunder without regard for the ones harmed by their actions. They are vicious dogs who devour our dreams and our lives with their lies. The Lord says beware.

Spiritual Forces in Play!

It is not people who are out to destroy us…the battle is much more sinister than that. People let themselves be used by the spiritual forces of wickedness.

Read Ephesians 6:12-13 Click Here

Believers, stand on the victorious ground you already possess.

GET GOD'S PERSPECTIVE!

Paul’s letter to the Colossians will reveal the gifts God has given us…the gift of Himself, so we can have a relationship with Him…the gift of His Word so that we know the truth and so we know His mind…and the gift of enemies who edify us through their wickedness so that we learn perseverance, so we develop proven character, and so we have a hope from the God who does not disappoint.

This week, take time to ask yourself, “What answers will the study of this letter provide for my spiritual life?” Only God knows. But if the overview is any indication, you’ll learn who our Lord is in Chapter 1…you’ll learn the problem in the Colossian church in Chapter 2, which is the same problem we have in churches today…the infiltration of evil…and you’ll be reminded of the keys to the Christian Way of Living in Chapters 3 and 4.

Gospel Message!

Be a Catalyst for Christ!

GOD WANTS YOU TO BE SAVED!

FIRST TIMOTHY 2:3

This is what is good and acceptable in the sight of the God who is our Savior…the Lord Jesus Christ…

FIRST TIMOTHY 2:4

…who desires all men to be saved and for all men to come to the knowledge of the truth.

What the Lord DOES NOT WANT FOR YOU is highlighted in Second Peter, Chapter 3, Verse 9…

SECOND PETER 3:9

The Lord is not slow about His promise of salvation, as some accuse Him of, but instead He is patient toward you unbelievers…NOT WISHING FOR ANY OF YOU TO PERISH (IN THE LAKE OF FIRE) but for all of you to come to repentance (a change of mind about having a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ).

Please, make the decision to spend eternity in heaven!

Simply....believe!

ACTS 16:31

“Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and everyone in your household who also believes.”

Through prayer, we ask the God of the Universe to come to our assistance!

Pastor's Prayer:

We’re grateful, Heavenly Father, for the privilege of studying Your absolute truth...the Word of God…

Father, thank you for giving us the gift of faith…and thank you for giving us the perfect target for our faith…Our God, and Your Son, the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ…thank you that Your promises are guarantees so that we don’t need a sign from You…Your Word is enough…thank you for the truth of the Word of God and the light it provides to guide our paths…

Father, help us in our weakness…edify us when we don’t know what to think…provide us with wisdom so we see Your perfection in every one of Your decisions that we witness…heal our souls from the wounds of this world and our experiences in it… fill us with confidence because of our relationship with You…give us hope…

…we ask this through the power of God the Holy Spirit…in Christ's

name...Amen.
