This Study Guide will host articles that will help you along Your Spiritual JOURNEY.
CHRIST AT THE DOOR
NOTICE
This section had to be added to precede the beginning of the Study Guide to address the intrusive ads that have been appearing in our Christology Series Study Guides. Please read!
Active links will open automatically in a new tab. To return to this page just close the tab.
APOLOGY & DISCLAIMER REGARDING THE NEW ADS:
When we began our Study Guides this free internet host service was free of ads. However, they have begun adding frequent ads over which we have no control. The ad content and the page placement of the ads are in the articles themselves and are intrusive to our content and an interruption for the student and reader.
Based on some borderline offensive content we have decided an alternative option of a private server which will enhance the reading and learning experiences for our students and readers without exposure to unwanted advertising.
We have observed some ads and think it will be just a matter of time before the ad content will become so offensive it will prove unsettling to those who are seeking and expecting Spiritual and Exalting Edification Content. We don’t believe our subscribers should have to be exposed to these ads and their content.
PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOR OF YHVH GOD TO FIGHT SPIRITUAL WARFARE
Eph 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
Eph 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD – Ephesians 6:10 to 6:20
Please Pray to the FATHER & SON through the HOLY GHOST/HOLY SPIRIT, Comforter and Spirit of Truth for Spiritual Protection of your Heart and Mind before you begin reading the Study Guides and articles. If profane or offensive ads appear, prayerfully dismiss them as Spiritual Warfare which is real for those who Seek the Kingdom of GOD & Heaven.
Be aware and be prepared with the elements of the >> Spiritual Armor of GOD << for Spiritual Power because we wrestle and battle not against flesh & blood but against malefic spiritual beings who control them and their actions. See a larger image of the elements and Scriptures of the Spiritual Armor at the link above. We discuss this topic further in this Study Guide and throughout the other Study Guides with special focus in the Angelology Study Guide of benign celestial beings and the malefic beings.
Eph 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
Eph 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Eph 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
WE MUST PRAY FOR STRENGTH
Mar 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
If you view something profane and disturbing before we have moved our Study Guides there are Prayers of >> Overcoming In Spiritual Warfare << at the preceding link. Recite the Prayer before continuing if you can. Also, there is a link to the >> LORD’S Prayer. << We are attempting to get the move underway as soon as possible but considerations include technical aspects which are new issues for the move. We have Faith the LORD will provide.
Joh 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
1Jn 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

RECONCILIATION AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST
2Co 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
2Co 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.
2Co 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

THE BIBLE – THE SPIRIT’S OPERATING MANUAL
If you are reading this article you probably have already completed the >> 10 Steps to Becoming a Disciple Blog << and the Blog >> Your Spirit << which gives details about the Experience of Being >> Born Again << of the >> HOLY GHOST/SPIRIT << as a Disciple of CHRIST JESUS after Baptism into >> the Body of CHRIST <<
If you have not read it, please follow the links above for the information you will find there before proceeding. Each link will open in its own Browser Tab.
If you have not already read about the >> HOLY GHOST/HOLY SPIRIT, << its Spiritual Gifts and Spiritual Fruits, that Empower you during your Spiritual Journey, you really Need to Browse to the Articles by using the above Links.
You need to Perceive the Concept of the HOLY GHOST/HOLY SPIRIT to Understand the Spiritual Realm and how it Operates and how it affects our Lives. Many People think of Humans Beings as a Body with a Soul.
Gen_2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
In Reality we are Souls with a Material Body which we use as a Physical Vehicle to Operate in the Physical Dimension with the five known Senses. The Physical Dimension is Populated by Two Kingdoms. The Seed of the Woman and the Seed of the Serpent, the People of the Light in Obedience to YHVH and the People of Darkness and Disobedience. YHVH Calls HIS People out of the Darkness of the World and Translates them into the Kingdom of HIS SON.
Col_1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
Act_26:18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
The Holy Powers always Prevail but the Evil Powers do not rest. You need to be Vigilant in your Spiritual Walk against Deceit, Delusion and Deception Propagated by the Adversary of Mankind who like a roaring Lion goes about seeking whom he may devour. Note the Scripture uses the word may devour not can devour which grammatically states he does not have absolute power. May devour connotes permissive ability whereas can devour connotes one’s own ability. If a Disciple is not Vigilant and is ill prepared and does not wear his Armor he is allowing the Adversary an opportunity to Attack and Destroy which is the Adversary’s Ultimate Goal. Remember he is the Father of Lies and a Murderer.
1Pe_5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
Col_1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
Col_2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
The Blog >> Your Spirit << gives details and Explanations about the Spiritual Realm and shows how GOD Works with and Protects the Disciple/Believer through the HOLY GHOST/SPIRIT as the Disciple/Believer travels on their Spiritual Journey. You also Need the Spiritual Armor to fight against the forces in Spiritual Warfare in Spiritual Battles because we fight not with Flesh and Blood but against Spiritual principalities, against powers, and against the rulers of the darkness of this world.
Rom_13:12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
2Co_6:7 By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
Eph 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
Eph 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Eph 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Eph 6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
Eph 6:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Eph 6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Eph 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Eph 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

2Pe_1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
The HOLY GHOST/SPIRIT is like a Spiritual Conduit only better because it is with you from the Time of Your Conversion to Eternity. It does not require a Physical Connection or a hookup. Just imagine! An Unending Spiritual Source of Energy and Power that you are tapped into that is already tapped in to you as the Indwelling of the HOLY GHOST/SPIRIT.

READ YOUR BIBLE DAILY
1. “Read Your Bible Every Day”
Get into GOD’S Word daily. You don’t have to dedicate every waking moment to Bible reading, but you should spend “some time” in GOD’S Word each day. COMMUNICATE/COMMUNE with the FATHER through HIS WORD.
Find a Bible reading plan that fits your individual schedule and lifestyle and stick to it. It may be difficult when you first get going but if you stick to it for two weeks it will become a habit and you will see the benefits almost immediately. It will literally become a part of your life and your “SPIRITUAL muscles” will get a good workout Daily!
There are several “public” Read The Bible in a Year Plans on the side panel. You may choose one from which ever category that best fits your lifestyle and schedule.
2Ti_2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Another option is our GUIDEPOST – “Bible In A Year Plans” on the side panel. It is a private, interactive group response Blog for registered members only. Sessions are all full but we will be adding New Forums. More information regarding registration will be sent out in Guideposts Bulletins.
When a Person is >> Born Again << they have the “Seed” or “Spark” within themselves from GOD’S HOLY SPIRIT within them, Divine Power. The HOLY SPIRIT helps us Develop Insights into Spiritual Matters as we Explore the Bible. This first step is an ongoing process throughout your LIFE as a DISCIPLE whether as a Novice or as an Adept. Learning, studying and Being a DISCIPLE is a Life Time Journey of Joy.
PRAY DAILY
2. “Pray Every Day”
Joh_14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
Reading the Bible is GOD’S way of Communicating with us, Prayer is our Ordained way of Talking to HIM. Start with just an individual Prayer. As you develop Spiritually, you may add a Prayer list that you can Pray through. A few suggested items for Daily Prayer are your Immediate Family; Extended Family Members; Families you know, and Friends. You can also Pray as GOD brings Needs and Blessings to your Mind. You can Pray at any time or at any place; but having a Dedicated Prayer Schedule each day will help you stay connected with the LORD and Focused.
Prayer can be Solitary or with others such as your Family, a Prayer Group, or Friends. The Axiom “a Family that Prays Together Stays Together” is more True Today than ever. You can find a lot of different Prayers at our Blog site >> Temple of Prayers. <<
PRAYER
There is also a >> PRAYER REQUEST BLOG << to Post your Personal Prayer requests for yourself, loved ones, friends or anyone you know who needs Intercessory Prayer.
PRAYER CIRCLE LEAGUE
In addition we have a PRAYER & PRAISE TEAM BLOG for individuals who would like to join with others online or in local area groups to add Power to their Prayers as a Community Prayer Group, Praise Team or one of our Praying Circle Leagues.
3. Worship – Devotion & Praise
Mat_22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
WORSHIP, DEVOTION & PRAISE
Mar_12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
Joh_14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Joh_10:30 I and my Father are one.
In addition to Prayer we should remember that we need to Worship and give Praise to the FATHER & the SON. Don’t wait for a crisis. Thank GOD for your bounty of blessings. If you know worship songs by heart sing them. If not, sing with the radio, a CD, record, or mp3 player.
Don’t worry that you don’t sound like a professional vocalist. You have the voice that GOD gave you and HE LOVES YOU, your voice and HE LOVES hearing from you.
I have also found just reading Hymnals have been spiritually uplifting too. Writing is another way to express your Devotion and Thanksgiving to the FATHER, SON & the HOLY SPIRIT.
Disciples/Believers can begin enjoying and Worshiping CHRIST right now and Prepare to Glorify their Lord when HE returns to take HIS People (Believers) to be with HIM and HE will be their GOD.
Rev 21:5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
Rev 21:6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
Rev 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
