NO PRIVATE INTERPRETATION
When we understand where things come from, it helps us tremendously, especially with the things of God. Jesus clearly makes a line of demarcation when He says who does what to us in life.
GREAT PRESSURE
I guess it is ok to let people know what is going on in your life. It doesn’t seem to have to be a secret in order for you to stay in faith.
LOOKING OUT FOR OTHERS
In our society right now, everyone seems to be looking out for themselves and their family. Taking care of #1.
HELP SOMEONE UP!
This verse is not just talking about marriage, even though you can use it for married people. This verse is a call to those who can and should be there for other people.
THE TONGUE OF A DISCIPLE
First, notice it says “disciples,” which means one who is taught, also one who is trained.
Beware of Bitterness
The word “defiled” is a very strong word, and it has the meaning of rape. When someone has a full-grown root of bitterness that has developed into a plant, that plant begins to have seeds.
Don’t Let It Reign
When you think of the word “reign,” you should immediately think of kingdom talk. That is the language given to us so we can think kingdom.
Tears or No Tears
The Message Bible says it this way: “Watch out for the Esau syndrome: trading away God’s lifelong gift in order to satisfy a short-term appetite.
Take Your Dominion
God's original plan for man can be found in the book of beginnings, Genesis. One thing is very clear: He told man to take dominion upon the earth.
Raised From the Dead!
The greatest display of God’s power that ever happened was when Jesus was raised from the dead (Ephesians 1:19–20).
Stronghold
A stronghold is a fortified place. In this case, it is a pattern of thinking that regulates your life.
Rest on Every Side
The Apostle Paul had quite an interesting life; it was full of tumult. When he is introduced as Saul, he is a man on a mission to destroy the believers of Jesus Christ.
Moved With Compassion
Jesus went on to say that the harvest is plenteous and to pray that laborers would go into the harvest field.
Don’t Resist the Holy Ghost
What does it mean to be stiff-necked? This is referring to someone who refuses to be led.
FAITH IN THE NAME OF JESUS
We see a group of brothers, who the Bible calls vagabond Jews, that were trying to cast a demon out of this fully possessed man by saying, “We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches.”
SHOW YOUR FAITH
This is the account of a lame man and the four friends who had brought him to Jesus to be healed.
OBEY THE COMMAND
When the Lord gives a command of faith, there is nothing left to do but obey that exact command.
CORRESPONDING ACTIONS
First of all, this miracle was not a miracle of necessity since Jesus and Peter didn’t really owe any taxes.
PRESSURE FREE
We all experience the stress and pressure of this life. Jesus also experienced great stress and pressure.
