St. Paul School of Leadership & Discipleship Lesson 153 - BITS OF WISDOM FROM AN OLD WARRIOR (PART 7) By Frank Eiklor and the Shalom Team Memorizing Important Scriptures
Do you want God to become more real to you? Then start to hide important scriptures in your heart and review them faithfully until they are in your mind forever. The Holy Spirit will make them come alive in your life when you face tests, temptations and trials.
I’m giving you my list of Bible verses that I challenge those I teach to memorize in one year. Keep reviewing the last six lessons. Here is Part 7.
22) My favorite verse when facing temptation. 1 Cor. 10: 13 “No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it."
23) Stay faithful, loving and serving the Lord. Here is the reason why. 1 Cor. 15:58 "Therefore, my beloved brethen, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord."
24) This is God's promise and plan for your life. 2 Cor. 5:17 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed aways; behold, all things have become new."
25) I don't have the power to live a pure and powerful life. But Jesus Christ does! And He lives in me—and you! Galatians 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."
26) Ask God to fill you daily with His Holy Spirit. This will be the result! Galatians 5:22-23 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law."

"Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ" (I Corinthians 11:1) Related Articles · More Articles Jesus said many would come in His name and deceive the hearts of the simple, sinful and proud. Eastern mysticism and meditation is a big thing in the gullible West. And one day a “world leader” will appear on the scene with the persuasion of a god and the heart of a devil. Jesus warns His children to know the Scriptures, live in obedience to the Father’s will, and stay alert to the signs of the times. They laugh no more. Now God’s description of how He will destroy the old earth and create a
new one makes perfect sense. The splitting of the atom turned many skeptics into believers.
After all, look what man himself is capable of doing with the atom and hydrogen bombs. Now
the fear is that nuclear weapons are being placed in the hands of madmen who wish to annihilate
their enemies. God has blessed man with incredible genius. We stand in awe as we watch men and women in a room full of computers and high-tech instruments guiding and landing spacecraft on distant planets. At that moment, we appear invincible. But then a mammoth tornado comes—or a terrifying hurricane—or rains that flood whole regions and never listen to our shouts to “Stop!”—or the shake that removes from under our feet any confidence or pride we carry, and leaves us numb with hardly enough breath to even utter the paralyzing word “EARTHQUAKE!”. And man is helpless in the face of it all! |
