WEEKLY BIBLE STUDY FOR WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 22-29,
2018
SHOUT OUT TO HASSAN
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 Amplified Bible (AMP)
9/ Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived;
neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate [by perversion], nor those who participate in homosexuality, 10/ nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers [whose words are used as weapons to abuse, insult, humiliate, intimidate, or slander], nor swindlers will inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God. 11/ And such were some of you [before you believed].
But you were
washed [by the atoning sacrifice of Christ],
you were
sanctified [set apart for God, and made holy],
you were justified [declared free of guilt]
in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the [Holy] Spirit of our God [the source of the believer’s
new life and changed behavior].
1 John 1:8-9 King James Version (KJV)
8/ If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9/ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
SOME DEFINITIONS FOR THIS BIBLE STUDY TO KEEP IN MIND.
1/ sanctify * to set something or someone apart for special use; sanctification is a process of setting oneself apart to become or to be made holy by God.
2/holy * sacred and set apart for God; holiness means to separate from what is unclean or immoral, and consecrate oneself to what is pure or righteousness with God.
3/consecrate * make or declare something sacred; dedicate formally to a religious or divine purpose
SOME SCRIPTURES FOR: SANCTIFIY, HOLY & CONSECRATE
2 Timothy 2:21 English Standard Version (ESV)
21/ Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work.
John 17:17 Amplified Bible (AMP)
17/ Sanctify them in the truth [set them apart for Your purposes, make them holy]; Your word is truth.
1 Thessalonians 4:3 Amplified Bible (AMP)
3/ For this is the will of God, that you be sanctified [separated and set apart from sin]: that you abstain and back away from sexual immorality;
1 Peter 1:15-17 Amplified Bible (AMP)
15/ But like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves in all your conduct [be set apart from the world by your godly character and moral courage]; 16/ because it is written, “You shall be holy (set apart), for I am holy.”
17/ If you address as Father, the One who impartially judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves in [reverent] fear [of Him] and with profound respect for Him throughout the time of your stay on earth.
1 Thessalonians 5:23 Amplified Bible (AMP)
23/ Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you through and through [that is, separate you from profane and vulgar things, make you pure and whole and undamaged—consecrated to Him—set apart for His purpose]; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept complete and [be found] blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Exodus 19:1 thru 25 (NOG)
Israel at Mount Sinai
1/ Two months after the Israelites left Egypt, they came to the desert of Sinai. 2/ Israel had moved from Rephidim and had come into the desert of Sinai. They had set up camp there in front of the mountain.
3/ Then Moses went up the mountain to Elohim,
and Yahweh called to him from the mountain,
“This is what you must say to the descendants of Jacob. Tell the Israelites, 4/ ‘You have seen for yourselves what I did to Egypt and how
I carried you
on eagles’ wings and brought you to my mountain. 5/ If you carefully obey me and are faithful
to the terms of my promise, {footnote [a] "or terms of my covenant"} then out of all the nations
you will be my own special possession,
even though the whole world is mine.
6/ You will be my kingdom of priests and my holy nation.’ These are the words you must speak to the Israelites.”
As we study the Old Testament/Covenant Father God {YAHWEH} made exclusively with the Hebrew Israelites;
Remember the New Testament/ Covenant Father God {YAHWEH/JEHOVAH} extended to all people that receive His Son {YAHshua/Jesus} as their Lord & Savior.
YAHshua/JESUS SAID: 
CHRISTIANS HAVE THE RIGHT OF SUCCESSION
BY THE BLOOD OF THE COVENANT OF YAHSHUA (JESUS)
1 Peter 2:9-10 ... you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; 10 who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.
If you have not received Jesus as your Lord and Savior, it's not by accident that you're reading this page. God has chosen you and is calling you to repent of your sins, receive His Son as your Savior with the free gift of eternal life with Him, in THE FAMILY OF GOD. If you would like to receive salvation now, just click on the
and say the prayer for salvation.
7/ So Moses went down and called for the leaders of the people. He repeated to them all the words that Yahweh had commanded him. 8/ All the people answered together,
“We will do everything Yahweh has said.”
So Moses brought their answer back to Yahweh.
9/ Yahweh said to Moses, “I am coming to you in a storm cloud so that the people will hear me speaking with you and will always believe you.” Moses told Yahweh what the people had said.
10/ So Yahweh said to Moses, “Go to the people, and tell them they have two days to get ready. They must set themselves apart as holy. Have them wash their clothes 11/ and be ready by the day after tomorrow. On that day Yahweh will come down on Mount Sinai as all the people watch.
12/ Mark off a boundary around the mountain for the people, and tell them not to go up the mountain or even touch it. Those who touch the mountain must be put to death. 13/ No one should touch them. They must be stoned or shot with arrows. No matter whether it’s an animal or a person, it must not live. The people may go up the mountain only when the ram’s horn sounds a long blast.”
14/ After Moses went down the mountain to the people, he had them get ready, and they washed their clothes. 15/ Then Moses said to the people, “Be ready two days from now.
Don’t disqualify yourselves by having sexual intercourse.”
Preparing your body, mind and spirit for a visitation from God, is certainly a biblically correct time to temporarily abstain from having sex, indulging in regular meals and other worldly pleasures;
JUST REMEMBER BIBLICAL INSTRUCTIONS ABOUT THIS.
1 Corinthians 7:5
Amplified Bible (AMP)
5/ Do not deprive each other
[of marital rights],
except
perhaps by mutual consent
for a time,
so that you may
devote yourselves [unhindered] to prayer,
but come together again so that Satan will not tempt you [to sin] because of your lack of self-control. 
16/ On the morning of the second day, there was thunder and lightning with a heavy cloud over the mountain, and a very loud blast from a ram’s horn was heard. All the people in the camp shook with fear. 17/ Then Moses led the people
out of the camp to meet with Elohim,
and they stood at the foot of the mountain. 18/ All of Mount Sinai was covered with smoke because Yahweh had come down on it in fire. Smoke rose from the mountain like the smoke from a kiln, and the whole mountain shook violently. 19/ As the sound of the horn grew louder and louder, Moses was speaking, and the voice of Elohim answered him.
20/ Yahweh came down on top of Mount Sinai and called Moses to the top of the mountain. So Moses went up. 21/ Yahweh said to him, “Go down and warn the people not to force their way through the boundary to see Yahweh, or many of them will die.
John 1:18 (KJV)
18/ No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him .
22/ Even the priests who are allowed to come near Yahweh must set themselves apart as holy, or Yahweh will violently kill them.”
23/ Moses said to Yahweh, “The people can’t come up Mount Sinai, because you warned us yourself to mark off a boundary around the mountain and consider it holy.”
24/ Yahweh said to him, “Go down, and bring Aaron back with you. But the priests and the people must not force their way through the boundary to come up to Yahweh, or he will violently kill them.”
25/ So Moses went down to the people and told them.
Footnote: [a] Exodus 19:5 Or “terms of my covenant.”
