GOD TEACHES US ABOUT CHARACTER Proverbs 27:19 As in water face reflects face, So the heart of man reflects man. 1 Corinthians 11:1-2 Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ. Now I praise you because you remember me in everything and hold firmly to the traditions, just as I delivered them to you. 1 John 2:3-4 By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments. The one who says, “I have come to know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; 2 Peter 1:5-8 Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence, and in your moral excellence, knowledge, and in your knowledge, self-control, and in your self-control, perseverance, and in your perseverance, godliness, and in your godliness, brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness, love. 1 Peter 1:14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, IF ONE IS A CHILD OF GOD HE WILL HAVE THE CHARACTER OF GOD. IF ONE SAY HE IS A CHRISTIAN BUT HAS THE CHARACTER OF SATAN HE IS A LIAR. THE BIBLE TEACHES US THAT A CHRISTIAN IS SOMEONE WHOSE BEHAVIOR AND HEART REFLECT JESUS CHRIST ACTS 11:26. A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT THINK AND SAY THEY ARE A CHRISTIAN ARE NOT A CHRISTIAN AT ALL. DON’T LET THEM FOOL YOU!!!! JUST BE ALERT!!! THEIR HEART AND BEHAVIOR WILL ALLOW YOU TO KNOW WHAT THEY REALLY ARE.

EVIL PEOPLE Proverbs 26:24-26 Evil people say things to make themselves look good, but they keep their evil plans a secret. What they say sounds good, but don’t trust them. They are full of evil ideas. They hide their evil plans with nice words, but in the end, everyone will see the evil they do. Proverbs 20:19 A gossip goes around telling secrets, so don’t hang around with chatterers. Proverbs 14:6-7 Anyone who makes fun of wisdom will never find it, but knowledge comes easily to those who understand its value. Stay away from fools, there is nothing they can teach you. Bad friends keep bringing up old matters. Proverbs 17:9 Whoever forgives an offense seeks love, but whoever keeps bringing up the issue separates the closest of friends.

GOD SPEAKS TO US ABOUT HEALING MATTHEW 4:23-24 Jesus went all over Galilee. He taught in the synagogues and spread the Good News of the kingdom. He also cured every disease and sickness among the people. The news about Jesus spread throughout Syria. People brought him everyone who was sick, those who suffered from any kind of disease or pain. They also brought epileptics, those who were paralyzed, and people possessed by demons, and he cured them all. Mark 5:25–34 In the crowd was a woman who had been suffering from chronic bleeding for twelve years. Although she had been under the care of many doctors and had spent all her money, she had not been helped at all. Actually, she had become worse. Since she had heard about Jesus, she came from behind in the crowd and touched his clothes. She said, “If I can just touch his clothes, I’ll get well.” Her bleeding stopped immediately. She felt cured from her illness. At that moment Jesus felt power had gone out of him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?” His disciples said to him, “How can you ask, ‘Who touched me,’ when you see the crowd pressing you on all sides?” But he kept looking around to see the woman who had done this. The woman trembled with fear. She knew what had happened to her. So she quickly bowed in front of him and told him the whole truth. Jesus told her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace! Be cured from your illness.” Luke 5:12-13 One day Jesus was in a city where there was a man covered with a serious skin disease. When the man saw Jesus, he bowed with his face to the ground. He begged Jesus, “Sir, if you want to, you can make me clean.” Jesus reached out, touched him, and said, “I want to. So be clean!” Immediately, his skin disease went away. JESUS HEALED MANY PEOPLE, AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT GOD IS STILL IN THE HEALING BUSINESS. GOD IS OUR HEALER. TAKE YOUR CONCERNS TO GOD AND HAVE FAITH HE WILL ANSWER YOUR PRAYER. GOD PERFORMS HEALINGS, AND MIRACLES WHERE THERE IS FAITH, BUT REMEMBER GOD DIDN’T WORK MANY MIRACLES WHERE THERE WAS A LACK OF FAITH. TRUST, OBEY, BELIEVE, AND RECEIVE. GLORY!!! HALLELUJAH!!!

GOD TEACHES US HOW TO DEAL WITH BELIEVERS WHEN THEY DO WRONG. Everlastingsalvationchurchofgod.com Matthew 18:15-20 “If a believer does something wrong, go, confront him when the two of you are alone. If he listens to you, you have won back that believer. But if he does not listen, take one or two others with you so that every accusation may be verified by two or three witnesses. If he ignores these witnesses, tell it to the community of believers. If he also ignores the community, deal with him as you would a heathen or a tax collector. I can guarantee this truth: Whatever you imprison, God will imprison. And whatever you set free, God will set free. “I can guarantee again that if two of you agree on anything here on earth, my Father in heaven will accept it. Where two or three have come together in my name, I am there among them.” ALLOW THIS PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE TO BE A GUIDE UNTO YOUR LIFE. PASTOR ANDRA HIGGINBOTHAM
Christ’s Forgiveness Overcomes Our Weaknesses Mark 2:5–7 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the man, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.” Some experts in Moses’ Teachings were sitting there. They thought, “Why does he talk this way? He’s dishonoring God. Who besides God can forgive sins?” Colossians 2:13–14 You were once dead because of your failures and your uncircumcised corrupt nature. But God made you alive with Christ when he forgave all our failures. He did this by erasing the charges that were brought against us by the written laws God had established. He took the charges away by nailing them to the cross. Hebrews 10:22 We have been sprinkled ⸤with his blood⸥ to free us from a guilty conscience, and our bodies have been washed with clean water. So we must continue to come ⸤to him⸥ with a sincere heart and strong faith. James 5:19–20 My brothers and sisters, if one of you wanders from the truth, someone can bring that person back. Realize that whoever brings a sinner back from the error of his ways will save him from death, and many sins will be forgiven. Let all the world know that the Lord Jesus will not cast away His believing people because of short-comings and infirmities. The husband does not put away his wife because he finds failings in her. The mother does not forsake her infant because it is weak, feeble, and ignorant. And the Lord Christ does not cast off poor sinners who have committed their souls into His hands because He sees in them blemishes and imperfections. Oh! No! It is His glory to pass over the faults of His people, and heal their backslidings, —to make much of their weak graces, and to pardon their many faults.
DON’T ALLOW YOUR SINS TO CAUSE YOU TO RUN AWAY FROM GOD BUT ALLOW YOUR SINS TO CAUSE YOU TO RUN TO GOD FOR FORGIVENESS KNOWING THAT GOD WILL NOT CAST YOU AWAY.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Deuteronomy 10:21 NKJV He is your praise, and He is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome things which your eyes have seen. TAKE A MOMENT TO THINK ABOUT ALL THAT GOD HAS DONE IN YOUR LIFE. TOO OFTEN WE FAIL TO GIVE GOD THE CREDIT FOR HIS GREAT WORK IN OUR LIFE. LET US RECOGNIZE, AND GIVE GOD HIS PRAISE. Ephesians 4:2 GW Be humble and gentle in every way. Be patient with each other and lovingly accept each other. DO NOT BE ARROGANT, DO NOT BE HARD OR ROUGH, DO NOT BE QUICK TEMPERED, STOP THE HATE, AND LET US LOVE ONE ANOTHER.

HOLY BOLDNESS Christ set an example of. John 7:26 But look at this! He’s speaking in public, and no one is saying anything to him! Can it be that the rulers really know that this man is the Messiah? LET US FOLLOW JESUS’S EXAMPLE, LET US NOT BE AFRAID OR ASHAMED TO SPEAK ABOUT GOD IN PUBLIC. ALLOW PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD, BE BOLD. Trust in God. Isaiah 50:7 The Almighty LORD helps me. That is why I will not be ashamed. I have set my face like a flint. I know that I will not be put to shame.

DON’T BE A FOOL. Proverbs 26:11 As a dog goes back to its vomit, ⸤so⸥ a fool repeats his stupidity. Note that a fool does not learn from his disgusting mistakes: He repeats them (v.11). When wise people are corrected or rebuked, they learn from their mistakes. Foolish people do not. They repeat the same disgusting, foolish actions and continue to be harmed by them. DON’T BE A FOOL.
