Cassy's Women's Bible Study Introduction

Teaching

Women Motivated 4 L.I.F.E.

Our Covenant with God

Introduction – “But, Sir, Alas I Cannot Read!”

I. Welcome

Read Isaiah 43 – The Lord is doing a new thing for you, in you, through you! Will you not embrace it?!

II. Women Motivate 4 LIFE (Living In Faith Everyday)

Empower vs. Motivate

Mission: This ministry will teach, by Word and example, how to appropriate the Living Word of God, by faith, in every day living. It will encourage and stir others to action toward abundant living, which is living Jesus’ life thru us, unhindered. It will urge others to advance forward in steadfast victory, passionately pursuing God, and leaving the past behind.

III. Our Part

1. To seek out the knowledge of the Word. – Hosea 4:6 (damah-cut off), Matt 6:33

How do we gain knowledge? The five fold-ministry – Eph 4:11, 12

Knowledge to Revelation - John 8:31,32, John 16:13,14

As being a business owner, one of the most embarrassing and difficult situations is to have gone through life only to find out that you have lost large sums of money for no reason or to learn of assets that you could have been enjoying for years, but weren’t simply because you didn’t know of the fullness of the contract that you had entered into.

I read a story of a woman who had served for over 40 years in the courts under Queen Victoria of Great Britain. She was greatly loved and respected by the Queen for her service and character. At the servant’s retirement, she was honored with a certificate of service from the Royal Majesty. As the years passed, not only did the woman physically age, but became greatly impoverished living in dreadful conditions and became ill. One day, the Queen’s Royal Ambassador had gone to visit the aged woman. He was in utter amazement of the conditions the woman was living in. As he was visiting with the woman, he noticed her certificate of honor hanging on the wall. He walked up to it and read it. Upon reading it, he was shocked and asked the woman why she was living like this when the certificate of service stated that as long as she lived she would be provided for by the British Royal Courts. She responded with utter amazement and humble embarrassment, “But, Sir, alas, I cannot read.”

Because the woman was ignorant of the fullness of her contract she lived most of her life in poverty.

2. Mix what we hear with faith and Choose to Believe – Hebrew 3 and 4

3. Ask for Revelation as we Meditate on His Word – Joshua 1:8, Eph 1:17-23

4. Put a Voice to His Word – Declare it! Josh 1:8, Prov 18:21, Romans 10:17

5. Be an Imitator of God – Was Jesus always real? No fronts, no masks. Eph 5:1, 5:19

Walk in love, encourage one another, pray for another, establish relationships

Does this look overwhelming? Its not, it is a lifestyle. Take a step at time. Like anything it takes time to establish habits.

If you didn’t get your encounter done or have your verse memorized to the “T” don’t let that keep you from coming. That is the devil trying to keep you from receiving and going higher in God.
