Passage to memorizePsalm 86: 9-12

Teach me your way O Lord, and I will walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart,

that I may fear your name. I will praise you o Lord my God with all my heart; I will glorify

your name forever.



Prayer Focus• Father, In the name of Jesus, I

surrender myself to walk in the Word. Your word living in me produces the Life in this world.

• The word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. It makes my way plain before me.

• I boldly and confidently say that my heart is fixed and established on the solid foundation – the Living Word of God! Amen



I've been delivered

I'VE BEEN DELIVEREDI'VE BEEN DELIVEREDTHE HOLD THE DEVIL HAD ON MEHE AIN'T GOT NO MOREI'VE BEEN DELIVEREDI'VE BEEN DELIVEREDI'VE BEEN DELIVERED BY THE HAND OF THE LORD



Learning, application and commitment: James 1: 22-25

• “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves.

• Do what it says. • Anyone who listens to the word but does not do

what it says is like a man who looks at his face in the mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.

• But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it - he will be blessed in what he does.” (NIV)



Learning, application and commitment

• One of the Biblical truths (principles) that I have learned from this lesson was …

• I intend to apply this truth (principle) in my business/Ministry by: …..

• With the help of the Holy Spirit, I will begin applying this truth immediately. I ask and expect my group to hold me accountable for this and to check with me periodically to determine if I am doing so. Please ask me …..



Jesus said: Take what I have given you and change the world!
