Bible Study Coming Out Of The House

It's time to break out. It's time to step on up and come out of the "house" into the streets. It's time to take authority over your circumstances. No more self-abasement, nor more thinking, "I can't do this." You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.

Elijah's mission was to awaken the Israelites to their apostasy, backsliding, lukewarmness, and to call them back to loyalty to God. Are you a Reformer? Believe God for the impossible and you too like Elijah will transform lives.

"And from the days of John the Baptist until the present time, the Kingdom of Heaven has endured violent assault, and violent men seize it by force (as a precious prize -- a share in the heavenly kingdom is sought with most ardent zeal and intense exertion)." AMP - Matthew 11:12

Only God can transform ones life as His Spirit works in us and through us to reach out to others with the Gospel of grace as we let the light of Christ shine through us. Through Gods grace He has given us His power and authority over all principalities to go out into the world to proclaim His mighty name through discipleship and servitude.

Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Anyone who has given his or her life over to the Lord has the ability to continue the works of the Lord for the glory of the Kingdom of God through the diversities of gifts given by the Holy Spirit. As we are all one in the body of Christ, so are the gifts given to one body, though given separately to those believers that will receive them to be able to function as a whole. God wants our availability, not our ability. Never doubt about being able to carry on the works of the Lord, because doubt only comes from the sin of unbelief and Satan loves to fill our minds with doubt when we waver in our belief.

Romans 14:23 and he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
1Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:
1Peter 2:10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

The works of the Lord are not just teaching his word behind a pulpit as the works of the Lord also include feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, visiting the sick and not turning our backs on those that are in prison. The meaning of prison can be twofold as meaning actual prison and also those who imprison themselves by the hardships of their own lives. The works of the Lord is the witness of God shared with people that do not know him, Matthew 25:31-40.

2Co 5:18-19 (RSV) All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.

Being reconciled to God will transform your life.

We are to share what transformed our lives, JESUS, so that theirs might also be transformed.
We have been granted the use of "In Jesus's Name", which is the power to transform circumstances.
We have been given the Word of God, that is able to instruct and comfort and protect and lead and guide all that learn to trust it because we showed them how by trusting it ourselves.
