MORE ACCESS TO KNOWLEDGE THAN EVER BEFORE… BUT LESS INTIMACY WITH GOD
WE MUST KNOW GOD IS
PHARISEES WERE ALL ABOUT HEAD KNOWLEDGE
YOU DILIGENTLY STUDY THE SCRIPTURES BECAUSE YOU THINK IN THEM YOU HAVE ETERNAL LIFE
You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life.
QUOTE BY JON BLOOM:
study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them there is lifeWE MUST KNOW GOD IS
Biblical knowledge is far better than gold when it fuels our trust in God, because it fuels our intimacy with God (). But when biblical knowledge replaces our trust in God, it only fuels our pride ().

WE MUS FIX OUR EYES ON WHAT IS UNSEEN Fix eyes on unseen
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

MUST BELIEVE THAT HE SIMPLY IS...
HE IS EVERYWHERE— ALWAYS PRESENT.. Must believe that he is.
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.
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.
GOD IS ALWAYS WITH US.. Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you.
JESUS SAID, I WILL BE WITH YOU TO THE END… I am with you always, to the very end of the age.
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

STICKS CLOSER THAN ANY BROTHER A friend that sticks closer than any brother
One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin,
but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
JESUS IS ALWAYS INTERCEDING FOR US He always lives to intercede for us
He always lives to intercede for us
Now there have been many of those priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office; but because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood. Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.
Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.
SOME TELL GOD TO LEAVE THEM ALONE… BECAUSE HE IS ALWAYS THERE
Yet they say to God, ‘Leave us alone!
We have no desire to know your ways.
HE IS SO INTIMATE WITH YOU, HE ALWAYS KNOWS THE NUMBER OF HAIRS ON YOUR HEAD
And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.”

and bore our suffering,

and by his wounds we are healed.

“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.”
EMOTIONAL WOUNDS ARE THE BIGGEST REASON FOR SICKNESS.
THIS WAS TO FULFILL WHAT THE PROPHET SPOKE
When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick. This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:
“He took up our infirmities
and bore our diseases.”
PRAYER OFFERED IN FAITH WILL MAKE THE SICK PERSON WELL
Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven.
