On World Events, and How to Deal with Disappointments and Betrayal, Tuesday Nov. 14, 2023

Sister Louise addressed various topics this afternoon, like world events, anti-semitism, the Last Days and End Times, spiritual warfare, etc. We are in the Last Days, living in perilous times.

Today we are in a war between God and Satan.

And Jews are chosen as God’s people.

Then Louise delivered the Salvation Message ala Billy Graham and his Crusades.

Romans 5:3-5 quoted: 3 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

Louise then moved to areas of disappointment and betrayal in our lives. Perhaps there is no greater hurt than various forms of betrayal.

Stories of various forms of betrayal told.

So, Louise asks, “how would you respond?” In the natural you cannot heal those wounds.

You have to turn to God, his promises and his healing, all from the standpoint of the Holy Spirit, the spiritual in our lives.

Faith in Scripture, Thurs. Nov. 9, 2023

Louise teaches on the meaning and significance of faith in Scripture. She used all of the following verses to explain faith and how need to apply our faith in our lives.

Romans 1:17 ” For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”

Romans 4:16 16 Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham’s offspring—not only to those who are of the law but also to those who have the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all.

Romans 5:1 5 “Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,”

Romans 5:2  “through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God.”

Romans 10:17  “Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.”

Ephesians 6:16  “In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.”

Colossians 1:23 “if you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.”

1 Timothy 6:12 “Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.”

Hebrews 11:6 “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”

More on Disappointments and Scriptural Lessons, Tuesday Nov. 7, 2023

John 15:16 very specically describes the powers that Jesus brought into the world for healing.15. “[16] Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.”

In Matthew and Luke Jesus begins the miracles. The story of the leper is told, where he asks ‘will you heal me?” And Jesus answers, “Yes, I am able.”

You also have to ask. Jesus said, “I have come to do the work of my Father.” Jesus also said “I am the the image of my father,” and have come here to do His will.

Jesus came to preach, teach, and to heal. He had compassion. Was not judgmental but looked upon all with love and compassion.

Louise tells the story of getting kicked out of a Sunday School class. Listen to the video above for the whole story.

Hebrews 11:6 is referred to :Hebrews 11:6 A

And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

(ESV) God is a rewarder. His desires is to bless you abundantly. “It’s time for all to get into the Bible yourselves,” Louise says people tend to listen to men, not to trust in God for everything. Be comfortable with the unexplainable.

Louise Teaching on Healing, Tuesday Nov. 7, 2023

Jesus Healing the Sick

This lesson is on healing, across all our boundaries.

A foudational verse is found in 1 Peter 2:24

1 Peter 2:24 New International Version 24 “He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”

The pursuit of healin is not simply in your physical body, but across your existence spiritually, mentally, in all ways that affliction attacks you.

Louise emphasizes in praying not simply for yourself, but for others as well.

Disappointment has led people to give up on healing. But God is not the problem. We are. Where did I miss it Lord? You need to ask yourself certain questions regarding:

1. Unforgiveness in your life.

2. Need to do it in faith. Know what God promises.

Need to ask the Lord, “take me back to the basics Lord.”

Louise wants all to learn the basics of healing for themselves and apply them.

We have to be patient as we learn. God will hear you out if you put faith in his promises and words.

You have to do the great work of healing by learning and applying God’s word every day.

How you handle adversity, for example, is going to remake you into an overcomer in Christ Jesus.

For every problem God has an answer. God has answers for all your problems, but you have to keep your eyes on Him.

Louise Teaching on Authority, Part 2, Thursday October 26, 2023

The subject in this lesson is the authority of the believer. This lesson drawn in part from teaching by Pastor Bob Yandian of Tulsa, Oklahoma.

In the beginning God in Genesis prephased everything we with”we said.”

God made man in his image.

God gave man dominion and authority over everything.

Salvation is the first gift of God to man. Giving man authority.

When man receives salvation, you come into God’s authority.

Jesus is the head of the Church, we’re the body of Christ, and so Satan is under your feet.

We have to get into the Word, to find the truth that reigns in our lives.

The hardest people to teach are those who have been taught lies about the powers of God, free will, salvation, etc.

Satan wants to confuse you, to convince you that circumstances in your life (like sickness, disease, etc,) rule in your life, rather than you ruling over them, calling on the promises of God. Use/employ/apply the power that Jesus has given you.

When confronted with this truth about authority, we said, “well that’s just for Jesus, but not me, a mere mortal.” This is NOT true. God has turned over all authority to you. Use it. Lean on Scripture and what Jesus promised all of you, from wealth to family and across the board of life.

Louise Teaching on Loneliness and How To Deal With It, Thursday Oct. 26, 2023

Louise started to teach on authority, but moved to a moment of loneliness she had felt recently.

Loneliness tends to be a big factor in the age today. How do we deal with loneliness in our lives, for whatever reason? It can be divorce, moving to a new church perhaps, children grown and gone off, not feeling included in something, then turning to drinking, drugs, especially by older women, numbing your sense with alcohol for example.

Louise has been in most of those places at one time, including divorce, isolated in another–new–town or city, felt excluded, felt disappointment.

Then the Lord spoke to her: “You are never alone.” Louise decribes the presence and comfort of the Lord, his Spirit directly in your life.

In the middle of all strife around the world today, the Lord is always there for you.

Louise recalles the stories of David, Jeremiah, Isaiah, all attest to the presence of God in their lives when needed.

Sometime when we think we are alone, remember Jesus, often isolated with just three friends, but when he needed comfort and support, he only had to turn to his Father, God who was always there.

Jesus will always take care of you, Spirit, soul, and body. Look at the source of God’s strength and wisdom.

Don’t run to the bottle, nor pills. Turn, instead, to the word of God.

Louise Teaching on What Scripture Says About “Worry,” Thursday Oct. 19, 2023

Louise addresses the subject of “worry” today among Christians from the Biblical point of view. What is what? How is it described in Scripture? How do Jesus and his disciples, like the Apostle Paul, address worry? What should you expect from God when you come to him with your problems and worry? What texts in Scripture do you need to bring to mind when worry strikes you? Who do you trust most to take of you and your worries? How do you call on God to help you?

One of the favorite verses of the Bible on worry is:

And the seven most familiar verses in the Bible on worry, including the above:

1. 2 Timothy 1:7

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. (NKJV)

2. 1 Peter 5:7 

Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you. (NIV)

3. Exodus 14:14

The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still. (NIV)

4. Psalm 46:10 

Be still, and know that I am God.  I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! (ESV)

5. Hebrews 13:5b-6

…for He has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear what can man do to me?” (ESV)

6. Isaiah 41:10 

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. (NIV)

7.  Romans 8:37-39 

…in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (NIV)
