UNIT ONE
MEMORY VERSE
i AM THE VINE YOU ARE THE BRANCHES IF A MAN REMAINS IN ME AND I AIN HIM HE WILL BEAR MUCH FRUIT APART FROM ME YOU CAN DO NOTHING ...
JOHN 15:5
real christianity is mot merely a religion it is a relationship with a person
in order to have a great working relationship with God we have to accept him into our hearts... by accepting Jesus Christ as our saviour and have acknowledged him as the Lord of your life
here are some verses that you can read if you sense a need to accept jesus as your savior and Lord
romans 3:23 all have sinned
romans 6:23 eternal life is a gift of God
romans 5:8 because of his love for you Jesus [aid the death penalty for your sins
romans 10:9-10 confess Jesus as lord and believe that God raised him from the dead
romans 10:13 ask God to save you and he will

continuation of unit 1 day one....
what ever you present circumstances are or may be i hope and pray that during this study you will be able to
1. hear when God is speaking to you
2. clearly identify his activity in your life
3. believe him to be and do everything he has promised
4. adjust your beliefs charachter and behavior to him and his
ways
5. recognize a direction he is taking in your life and identify what he
wants to do through your life
6. clearly know what you need to do in response to his activity
to his activity in your life
7. experience God doing through you what only He can do
the holy spirit will be your personal teacher
see JOHN 14:26
WHEN YOU COME TO THE LORD JESUS TO SEEK HIS WILL FOR YOUR LIFE, WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING REQUESTS MORE CLOSELY RESEMBLES THE WAY YOU WOULD GENERALLY ASK
a. Lord what do you want me to do? When do you want me to do it? How shall i do it? Where shall i do it? Whome do you want me to involve along the way? and please tell me what the outcome will be.
or
b Lord as you go with me tell what to do one step at a time and i will do it
which would you chose???
For me i chose b cause i want the Lord to walk with my at my side to tell me what to do with each step so i can do it .... IN JOHN 14:6 IT SAYS I AM THE WAY AND THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE....so hes sayin hes the way and who we need to have with us on our journey through life

QUESTION:
IF YOU DO EVERYTING JESUS TELLS YOU ONE DAY AT A TIME WILL YOU ALWAYS BE IN THE CENTER OF WHERE GOD WANTS YOU TO BE
choices
1. no Jesus does not guide people specifically
2. no by seeking to follow Jesus i could end up goin the wrong way
3. it is much wiser to wait until God tells me all the details before i beging moving my life in a particular direction
4. Yes if i follow Jesus one day at a time i will be right in the center of God's will for my life
me again i picked no 4 i want to take it one day at a time in my walk with Jesus so i can be right where God wants me to be for his will in my life
ABRAMS CALL
READ ABOUT ABRAMS CALL TO DO GODS WILL NOTICE HOW MUCH DETAIL HE WAS GIVEN BEFORE GOD ASKED HIM TO FOLLOW HIM. UNDERLINE WHERE HE WAS TO GO AND WHAT HE WAS TO DO.....
THE LORD HAD SAID TO ABRAM LEAVE YOUR COUNTRY YOUR PEOPLE AND YOUR FATHERS HOUSEHOLD AND GO TO THE LAND I WILL SHOW YOU I WILL MAKE YOU INTO A GREAT NATION AND I WILL BLESS YOU I WILL MAKE YOUR NAME GREAT AND YOU WILL BE A BLESSING I WILL BLESS THOSE WHO BLESS YOU AND WHOEVER CURSES YOU I WILL CURSE AND ALL PEOPLES ON EARTH WILL BE BLESSED THROUGH YOU SO ABRAM LEFT AS THE LORD HAD TOLD HIM AND LOT WENT WITH HIM ABRAM WAS 75 YEARS OLD WHEN HE SET OUT FROM HARAN HE TOOK HIS WIFE SARAI AND HIS NEPHEW LOT AND ALL THE POSSESSIONS THAT THEY HAD ACCUMULATED AND THE PEOPLE THEY HAD A ACQUIRED IN HARAN AND THEY SET OUT FOR THE LAND OF CANAAN AND THEY ARRIVED THERE....... GEN. 12:1-5
ARE YOU READY TO FOLLOW GODS WILL THAT WAY
1. no i dont think God will ask me to go anywhere without showing me ahead of time where i am goin
2. i'm not sure
3. yes i am willing to follow him by faith and not by sight
4. other
READ MATT 6:33-34
DO YOU AGREE THAT GOD IS ABSOLUTELY TRUSTWORTHY
DO YOU AGREE WITH GOD THAT YOU WILL FOLLOW HIM ONE DAY AT A TIME
DO YOU AGREE TO FOLLOW HIM EVEN WHEN HE DOESNT SPELL OUT ALL THE DETAILS
DO YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL LET HIM BE YOUR WAY
IF YOU CANT AGREE TO THESE NOW OPENLY CONFESS YOUR STRUGGLES TO HIM. ASK HIM TO HELP YOU WANT TO DO HIS WILL IN HIS WAY CLAIM THE PROMISE "IT IS GOD WHO WORKS IN YOU TO WILL AND TO ACT ACCORDING TO HIS GOOD PURPOSE" PHIL. 2:13
