There's a way to man that seems right, but the end result thereof is death. Don't be so quick to gain riches here on earth. Build up treasures in heaven FIRST. Seek the kingdom of God, and everything else will come to you. Do it your own way or another man's way, and the end result will be death. But do it the Lord's way, and your soul will be made fat.

If this is your first time trying this weekly bible study, there is no need to start all the way from the beginning; you can start on today's day and go forward from that day and when the study is completed, go to the beginning to the point where it began and go forward to where you first started! If the Spirit is driving you to know, you can do them all in one day, if you like. If you would like to know, but decide to go slowly, you can do the ones marked as 1 the first week and the ones marked 2 the second.
Just remember: Read God's Word as you are moved by the Spirit. Read God's words with Understanding!
Be diligent and not slothful, or lazy, concerning what you do for the Lord, or in the Lord's name. God is always listening, His eyes always seeing. He is ready always. For your love, for your faith, for your hope. To comfort you. To help you. To listen to you. To talk to you. So what you do in His name, do it with all that He's given you, without any slackness or laxity or laziness. Be diligent: not slothful, which is of the nature of man's flesh.

It means you have your name written in the Book of Life in Heaven! But there is the age-old question, "How does one accomplish this?" The answer: By a simple act of confessing that you are a sinner as we find written in Romans 10:9, 10. If you confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is the son of God and that He came to this world and died for your sins and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead according to the scriptures, ...you will be saved!
You dont have to go through a big ceremony to do this or even in the presence of another person. Go find a place where you can be alone and be confident of this truth: God will see you, God will hear you, and God will accept you. He does not want some of us, He wants us all ( Second Epistle of Peter Chapter 3, Verse 9 ). As you kneel down and confess your sins and accept Christ as your personal Saviour, you will become a true Christian; not in word only but in deed also.
Jesus will send the Holy Spirit to you and He will teach you all things. The Holy Spirit is the Teacher, the Comforter, the Guide and the One that gives us power to become the members of His family. ( Gospel According to John Chapter 1, Verse 12. )
Inside of you lies your spirit, which is who you are. The flesh is the nature of man, and what dies away and returns to earth in ashes when the silver cord parts, death. ALL spirits return to the Father upon death, that instant, not resting in the earth with the flesh but being with the Father. The LORD is your heavenly Father because what makes you who you are, your spirit, was created by Him. Spirits are created perfect, but the Lord's perfection in you is tainted by man's sinful nature, which comes inherently from the flesh. We that are saved by the blood of the lamb of God, being reborn in His blood to Walk in the Spirit, are justified in Christ, but remain sinners in this little while that we are in the flesh. But let no man deceive you on who you are. Your heavenly Father knows and understands you better than even you understand yourself, knowing even the very number of hairs on your head. God gives understanding, so that you may understand all things. Even the very essence of who and what you are, your spirit.

The Book of Proverbs Chapter 16, Verse 22 says, Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly. You that desire to know God's Word and gain His understanding will understand all things, as the Word promises that we will. But to those without God's understanding, there is only the hard way. If there are those here in this world that you love, share with them God's knowledge, planting a seed so that no longer have to go the hard way, leading to folly. At the end of this week's study, the epistles of Paul to Philemon and Titus are included, which aren't as long as a few other lengthy chapters, so do not allow the full extension of an epistle's name to make you feel overwhelmed. It is within grasp to read those two epistles within one day.

I had another dream, where I self-realized. But I can't remember what it was about, and remember that there was a scary girl in it. And she was telling me something... I tried to wake up, but I couldn't. And I just stood there in my dream forcing my eyes open, and eventually, I woke up.
I'm going to post the weekly bible study in a few hours, but...
I had a dream that I was playing with a meat-cleaving knife and I grabbed my tail and cut it off. Then I put the tail on something solid and cut into it slightly, only to realize that I don't really have a tail and that since I did now, it was great and I wanted to keep it. So I looked at it, and it was completely cut off. And I could see a piece of my bottom at the end. I started wailing and yelling and woke up.
This is horrble... I have only 2 days to prepare for this exam. I took the practice exam, and I didn't do very well at all. This is impossible for me...
But all things are possible with the Father. :wink: I'll pray, and ask God for help with this one... He helped me with the SATs that I retook on Saturday... Last night I had a good chat with Carolyn, and it would appear that she may be in pursuit from an Isaac in Utah that graduated Yale at the age of 20. Tough to compete with... But I love Carolyn. I'm going to do my best... to win her over... This is going to be difficult. A storm is blowing through.
This week's list o' problems: 1. Earning at least $650 to prepare for the arrival of my sisters and their boyfriends and children on May the 15th. 2. AP Examination 3. Superman-Isaac in Utah after Carolyn. 4. Scholarships, Scholarships, Scholarships. 5. Registering for the USF orientation, before it's too late. 6. Job applications, and trying to get one before the summer hits. 7. Getting the business started-up, and finding the finances necessary to start it. 8. Paying for all of these end-of-the-year fees. 9. Catering to all of these school teacher's assignments - 10 days of school left. 10. Getting into the small Church that welcomed me in, but seems to be a bit deserted, now. 11. Driving the car alone to school and back, if possible. 12. Getting this shelf organized, and doing the same to the closet. Throwing away all of my old papers. 13. Finally writing down these book ideas floating around in my head. 14. EAST WEST Synthesis shop client's e-commerce script. Just them, and catering to this Gamecube website, and all of my freelance obligations would be erased. 15. Helping Mary try to pass Algebra 2 with at least a D. :- 16. Gathering money together to go and see Carolyn this summer. 17. Studying up for my first undergraduate year. 18. Buying a new warddrobe for the year. Somehow... 19. Getting a reliable car that I'll use to drive to Tampa daily, back and forth. 20. Putting money in the bank account, so that it can cover unexpected expenses during said year. 21. Finally getting SLEEP. :-(
Despite these many trials and worries... I'm still the same ol' me, a man of God, having peace of mind, under the helmet of salvation, through God's understanding. I understand why it's so hard, and I will win every war. With love.
There's a very sinful man living with my mum. He has her deceived, but I cannot be deceived.
My mum went to Melody's house. When she was about to leave, her car was stuck in the ignition. She called me 15 minutes after trying to get it out. She told me to get Toney. I went to the door, unlocked and opened it, saw that both cars were gone, and went back to the phone and told her that he wasn't there. She told me to tell him to call her at Melody's when he gets back. I parted with her and went to my room. About a half an hour later, my mum comes to my room and says that "Toney was there all along" in a very sarcastic tone. I walked out and said, "how can that be - either one of us is lying, or his car has cloak mode." I looked to the bedroom door, and saw that the door was cracked slightly and knew that he could hear what we were saying. And we said a few more words about him lying, and shortly after, he comes out wearing a pair of boxers, like he'd been in bed all that time, and wears an innocent look on his face, stuttering and stammering to pretend that he didn't know what was going on and acting shocked when realizing that it might have looked like he was a lier. He had a soft undertone, no big voice, no dozens of "numsayin." Nearly as if he were...lying.
My mum instantly turns around and believes him, saying that I must have not seen the other car well, goes into her room, and closes the door sternly. I am instantly vexed. I go outside and I exam both cars. I stand out there for a good 25 minutes, looking them over. I see that the red car was to the right wall, and the black one, to the left. The usual spots. But they're both facing the garage. The red one's engine cools faster, I observed. But after 25 minutes, it was about half as cool as when I touched it. The black one was cooling more slowly, but if Toney had been there all along like he'd said, the car would have sat there for a good 2 hours or more, and the engine would have been more cool than it was then, which was very hot. So from this I determined that the car must have been taken out within the half hour. I'm not a judger of men. And I don't know what lies in men's hearts. But I'm a man of Christ, who loves the Lord, and wouldn't violate the commandments. I'm not sure whether my eyes violate me or not, but if what I saw was accurate, I was made falsely a bearer of false witness, and the sin was against me.
Dear Isaac, I can recall a specific conversation I had with my mother where she tells me that I know who I am, and I agree, knowing that I'm Isaac. At the time of this writing, this country has about 62475 people named Isaac, and 17500 with the last name Isaac within this country, but there's only one of me. My name doesn't compose who I am, but, rather, gives reference to the description of me. I've always known who I was, and, like the Word, who I am never takes change. This is who I am: I am a child of the Living Lord God. I was never proud and could hardly say I looked proud. My tongue rarely ever lied, though was often tied. My hands have only been stained with my own blood. My heart devises many imaginations, but those that are wicked are always downtrodden and destroyed as quickly as they're created. I've had asthma for a while, so I was never swift in running into mischief. The Lord was always my witness, and I've never enjoyed an argument.
