DOORS WE CLOSE

Bible Study by Pastor Janice L Williams

SIN * HURT * PAIN * UNFORGIVENESS * GENERATIONAL CURSES {Just because mommy or daddy did it, 'sin', or had it, 'poverty', 'sickness', disease,  unhealthy/unhappy relationships, etc.'; we don't have to, because Jesus Christ broke these curses off of our lives when HE sacrificed HIS sinless life for our sinful lives on the cross at Calvary.  By the blood of HIS stripes {the blood shed in the beating JESUS took for us} we are healed, and set free!

JESUS EMPOWERS US  TO SAY NO, AND CLOSE DOORS TO DESTRUCTIVE WAYS AND THINGS THAT WOULD HURT US OR KEEP US IN BONDAGE.

BIBLE STUDY FOR WEDNESDAY, October 17th-24th, 2012

We read in Isaiah 53:5 KJV * 5/ “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”                    In this verse, God declares that the price for our healing would be paid for by the stripes that were laid across Jesus’ back.

WE CLOSE DOORS TO FEAR AND DOUBT!!!

AS WE OPEN THE DOOR TO THE SPIRITUAL NATURE OF GOD, { Galatians 5:22, 23 NLT * 22/... the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23/ gentleness, and self-control.}  

WE CLOSE THE DOOR TO THE SINFUL NATURE OF OUR FLESH. { Galatians 5:19-21 NLT * 19/ When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, 20/ idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, 21/ envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.}

Ephesians 4:20-29

20/ But you have not so learned Christ, 21/ if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: 22/ that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, 23/ and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, 24/ and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness. 25/ Therefore, putting away lying, “Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,” for we are members of one another. 26/ “Be angry, and do not sin” do not let the sun go down on your wrath, 27/ nor give place to the devil. 28/ Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need. 29/ Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.  30/ And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31/ Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. 32/ And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

 WHEN WE CHOOSE JESUS TO BE OUR LORD AND SAVIOR, WE CLOSE THE DOOR TO WILLFULLY SIN
