Opening Hymn; It is well with my soul by Audrey Assad;
When peace like a river, attendeth my way
When sorrows like sea billows roll
Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say
It is well, it is well, with my soul
It is well
With my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come
Let this blest assurance control
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate
And hath shed His own blood for my soul
It is well (it is well)
With my soul (with my soul)
It is well, it is well with my soul
My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, o my soul!
It is well (it is well)
With my soul (with my soul)
It is well, it is well with my soul
It is well (it is well)
With my soul (with my soul)
It is well, it is well with my soul.
This week we talked about being born again. It is a very important subject. When you are a child you are baptized, and you think then that is all you need to do. No, until you are the age of an adult. Once you are an adult, you need to be born again. You can do this by prayer, in a church service. There is a prayer we put at the bottom of the page after each lesson where you can do this. Some faiths put water on your head, and some submerge you in a tub which is a way John the baptist and the lord did. Make no mistake, water does not save you. What saves you is what you believe in your heart. It does show publicly you believe in Jesus.
We also discussed about spiritual self examination. It is important to do. If there is anything in your life that is not of Our Heavenly Father you need to ask for forgiveness, pray it out and repent of it.
Spiritual self examination assessing one’s actions, motivations, and attitudes with the purpose of aligning oneself with Our Heavenly Father’s will. Examining oneself in the light of Our Heavenly Father’s Word helps individuals identify areas where they can improve and allows for repentance, transformation, and a deeper relationship with Our Heavenly Father. The next subject is how to pray better to Our Heavenly Father. There are 5 ways. Use them to help stregnthen you walk with him. If you do not understand go back over the lesson.
Five Ways to Strengthen Your Prayer Life
- Pray in every circumstance. Is anyone among you in trouble? …
- Have faith in prayer. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. …
- Give thanks in prayer. …
- Try changing your prayer routine. …
- Pray with other people.
Our Heavenly Father is a very wonderful and strong being. He created the earth and all creatures, and all of us. He also has done a lot for us, and loves and protects us all from anything dangerous. So it is very important to praise Our Heavenly Father as often as possible. As you can see, the book your Heavenly Father wrote is very important to christians. The new testament is for christians, but even some of the old testament is good for Christians too. Such as the first 5 books of the old testament, or the torah. The book of Zacharias had 9 visions towards christianity and it was in chapters 1 and 6. You have to remember folks, that the old testament was looking towards the new testament and the visions in the old testament was going towards the new testament. Christmas time is Jesus’s birthday, not sure about that because there is another story about it. In any case however, it is time to be with Our Heavenly Father, and be close to him. Many gifts should go to him. But he does not mind you getting a few gifts. The main focus is on him and paying attention to him. Have fun with your family and friends, but be more focussed on Our Heavenly Father.
Closing Hymn; Hosana in the highest by Hillsong;
I see the King of Glory
Coming on the clouds with fire
The whole earth shakes, the whole earth shakes, yeah
I see His love and mercy
Washing over all our sin
The people sing, the people sing
Hosanna, Hosanna
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna, Hosanna
Hosanna in the highest
I see a generation
Rising up to take their place
With selfless faith, with selfless faith
I see a near revival
Stirring as we pray and seek
We’re on our knees, we’re on our knees
Hosanna, Hosanna
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna, Hosanna
Hosanna in the highest
Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like You have loved me
Break my heart for what breaks Yours
Everything I am for Your kingdom’s cause
As I walk from earth into eternity
Hosanna, Hosanna
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna, Hosanna
