“Jesus . . asked His disciples, “Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? And they said, Some say that Thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.” The Bible prophesied that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, would come to our earth. Many prophesies foretold His birth and how He would suffer and die. We can trust the Bible, and we can trust Jesus Christ as our Savior.
There is something fascinating about exploring the unknown. Because of this, men seek to uncover the secrets of the ocean floor, to search the deep recesses of caves, and to penetrate the densest jungle. As man searches out these secrets he unconsciously comes into contact with God, the Author of all creation. For this reason, it is sometimes said that God has revealed Himself through the book of nature. There is another book of God that is even more interesting to explore. That book is the Bible. This lesson leads us into a preliminary exploration of our textbook; the Bible. Here we learn only a few facts about the most wonderful book in the world.
As Christians, we know that we are new creations in Jesus. So we try to act differently, hoping this will make us more like Him. But changing our outward behavior doesn’t change our hearts. Only by God’s grace can we be transformed internally. In this 3-part series, "Renovation of the Heart"; Pastor Randy Ware lays a biblical foundation for understanding the “transformation of the spirit” is a process that “brings every element in our being, working from inside out, into harmony with the will of God.” ============= SUPPORT US: Donate: https://bit.ly/DonateToranadoNetwork Shirt Store: https://bit.ly/RuachRunnerTShirts Mugs, Masks & More: https://bit.ly/RRunnerMugsMasksMore EMAIL: ruachrunner@gmail.com Website: https://ruachrunner.com/ Like & Follow: https://www.facebook.com/ruachrunner/ Follow: https://www.periscope.tv/ToraNadoNetwork/ Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/c/ToranadoNetworkTV Credit: Music: https://www.purple-planet.com

The parable of the Good Samaritan is a parable told by Jesus in the Gospel of Luke 10: 30-37. It is about a traveler who is stripped of clothing, beaten, and left half dead alongside the road. First, a priest and then a Levite comes by, but both avoid the man. Finally, a Samaritan happens upon the traveler. Samaritans and Jews despised each other, but the Samaritan helps the injured man. Jesus is described as telling the parable in response to the question from a lawyer, "And who is my neighbor?". In response, Jesus tells the parable, the conclusion of which is that the neighbor figure in the parable is the man who shows mercy to the injured man—that is, the Samaritan. But, What about the InnKeeper? Let's take a look at his often overlooked role in this powerful parable. We will also discuss 10 Scriptural keys to staying positive during the storms of life.
JESUS’ ULTIMATE SACRIFICE GIVES US CONFIDENCE TO APPROACH GOD, KNOWING WE ARE FORGIVEN. NOW JESUS IS REVIEWING OUR LIVES BEFORE RETURNING, SO THERE’S NO QUESTION THAT HIS JUDGMENTS ARE MADE IN LOVE. The ultimate sacrifice gives us the assurance that God wants no one to perish. We are forgiven. God only asks that we repent and turn away from our sins and continue to walk with His character. As our lives are being reviewed in judgment. How will you stand on that great day?
John 5: A Healing and a Discourse. Jesus heals a man at the pool of Bethesda. Do you have a spirit of rejection at work in your life? Let's study through John 5 and unpack the Spirit of Rejection Strongholds.
It is not uncommon to find people who get so wrapped up in details that lose sight of more important goals. We learn from scripture that these are not individual "fruits" from which we pick and choose. Collectively, these are the fruits that all Christians should be producing in their new lives with Jesus Christ.
Philippians 4:8 / 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 - The enemy wants you to remain consumed in isolation. Silent erosion from emotions that are not dealt with create secondary emotions that we express through anger, depression, seclusion, etc. Share what you feel.
Holding onto regrets will always hold us back from living the life God wants us to live. When we focus on our past mistakes it causes us to run from the life God created us to live.
Before we begin to ask anything of God we make clear our gratitude for what He has already done. Spend great quality time with Jesus. Give him praise, intercede for others and speak His Word.
If you’ll let the Word of God find a home in your heart, you’ll be motivated to do what’s right! What motivates you to pray? Is it needs? Is it stress?
After Joshua passed; what happened when the new generation of Israel didn't remember the Jordan crossing?
In the Bible there are many different names given to the One True God. He is the God of miracles and nothing is impossible for Him. What ever word you use when you call upon the name of God, remember to call in reverence and in love for the word that expresses the essence of God in His most intimate relationship with you is LOVE, for God is love.There is nothing as powerful as the name of our Lord God. What names do you use for HIM?
We often make panic prompted mistakes from quick chaotic decisions. Let's look at Abraham's panic mistakes and bring them into present-day scenarios and "ances".
The Bible is the manual for the prayer that works. When we pray we talk to God, when we read, like now when we are learning, God teaches us how to pray. God hears and answers the prayers of his people. The foundation of a praying life is knowing God.

Has there ever been a time in your life when you really needed God to move? You waited and waited but it seemed like heaven is on vacation? You pray and pray but nothing happens. Have you ever thought that God wants to move for you, but He is saying I need something to work with?
We often hide our pain. But, is that really going to help? In order to fix a problem, we must first admit we have the problem. We can ask the Lord to help us and guide us in the direction that we need to be going in. There are no painful experiences that God can't touch and use for his glory. The Bible gives us many reasons why it is so important that we give these hurts over to the Lord.
(Scripture: Luke 5:12-13 ) One of the great principles of the Bible: God does not play favorites! God will do for you what he has done for others if you will meet the same conditions. Quit looking at the wound and look for the restoration. Quit looking at the scars and just say God make me over.
Hope: a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen. God creates beauty from nothing. The things you hope for are important to God! God is a faithful God working on our behalf.
The burdens of life can be overwhelming. It is easy to develop and feed a victim spirit. We become discouraged and sing “the blues”. Maybe we have lost our job, lost a loved one, family break-up, sickness or a traumatic event.
Scripture Foundation - Matthew 15:21-28 {Wait - stay where one is or delay action until a particular time or until something else happens} We are constantly waiting whether we are at a traffic light, doctor’s office or checkout line. What do you do when you have to wait on God?
I couldn’t help myself. It was on sale. I was just so mad! Identifying temptations and getting ahead of triggers.
When we desire something from our Heavenly Father we ASK. We need God's help and he doesn't require us to tackle anything alone. What can we do when we are in desperate situations? Can we call on God? Psalm 145:18-20 “The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them. The LORD watches over all who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy.”
How do you make something out of practically nothing? 2 Kings 4:1-2 1 Now a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the Lord; and the creditor has come to take my two children to be his slaves.” 2 Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” And she said, “Your maidservant has nothing in the house except a jar of oil.”
It's hard to stay positive when the trials and storms of life kick into high gear. (Hebrews 13:5 New King James Version (NKJV) 5 Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” )
Enoch pleased God. Hebrews 11:5-6 Hebrews 11:5-6 (NKJV) 5 By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, “and was not found, because God had taken him”; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
If your faith was a type of virus; would it make people spiritually healthy or spiritually ill?
It’s God’s Way or the Highway! - 2 Samuel 6:3-8 &1 Chronicles 13:6-12 What causes a person to forsake the rules and do what they want to do? What happens when we get comfortable in doing things our way and not God’s way?
Love - 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 New International Version (NIV) 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
(Scriptural Foundation: Proverbs 16) - 9 Principles of a Godly leader.
(Scriptural Foundation: 1 Corinthians 1:26-31) God chose Paul who was the least to be chosen. God chooses 5 types of people. Are you one of the five?

Isaiah 40:29-31 King James Version (KJV) 29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
God is greater than any problem that we could have. Peace of God shall guard your heart (Philippians 4:7). Peace of God surpasses all imaginative; it exceeds all that human wisdom can plan. 1 Peter 5:7 says ... casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
In Luke 12 Jesus told a parable of a man who was blessed with a large harvest. The man did not remember that it was God who gave him the harvest. Instead, he decided to hoard it for himself. Later, this man would lose everything. Because none of his harvests could preserve his life, he was considered a fool. Remember your source! – Ephesians 5:20 giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Times will not always be enjoyable, but never fear because the Lord is on your side. God has a will, a purpose and a plan for your life. Paul… Philippians 4:10-11 I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. { Source Usage Credit - Goalcast https://www.goalcast.com/2018/05/14/ian-humphrey/ }
Need an arborist? How's your trunk? Hollow or Healthy? - Unseen killers can attack mighty oak trees from the inside out. When fungus causes a disease to spread inside an oak, the center of the trunk and branches can decay. When the trials of life attack us with traumatic situations; ie.. rape, physical abuse, molestation, abandonment, divorce, grief or bullying; we can appear healthy on the outside but truly be damaged and hollow inside. Matthew 23:25-26 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of extortion and[a]self-indulgence. 26 Blind Pharisee, first cleanse the inside of the cup and dish, that the outside of them may be clean also.
Hebrews 11:1 - Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. What would be going through your mind if you only had 22 seconds left to live? Salvation? Works well done?.... ??? A little something to ponder.
Be grateful for all things. Don't complain and discount the manna provisions that God provides in your life.
F.R.O.G – FULLY RELY ON GOD Have you ever been sitting or driving somewhere when all of a sudden you remember something you did or said that you shouldn’t have? Or maybe it was something you thought about that would bring shame if anyone ever knew? Make God the foundation for your life - Just as a home needs a firm foundation to last, the same goes for us. We need to be firmly planted on an unmovable source to outlast the storms of life.
Do you believe you are diligently seeking after the Lord in a way that will bring success into all aspects of your life? Evaluate what areas in your life need more diligence and add them to your prayers. ================ • Proverbs 12:24 - Diligent hands will rule, but laziness ends in forced labor. • Proverbs 14:23 - All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty. • Proverbs 13:4 - Lazy people want much but get little, but those who work hard will prosper.
Matthew 6:27 (NIV): Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[a]? Matthew 6:31-32 - 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. Anxiety & worry cause Physical and Emotional Problems: Fear to Act, Withdrawal, Hesitation , Unwise Decisions (Quick Chaotic Decisions) • Spiritual Decay (Not believing in God’s power) • 40% of what you worry about will never happen • 30% of what you worry about or fear are things that happened in the past and can’t be changed • 10% of what we worry about are considered by most to be insignificant issues • 12% of what we worry about are issues about our health that will not happen • This means that 92% of what we fear or worry about will never take place
Philippians 1:6 - 6 being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ; As the world changes around us, our lives change, we change and the people in our lives change. God is constantly shifting us from a. Assignment to assignment b. Level to level in influence and authority c. Opportunity to opportunity d. Season to Season We must be mindful of when it is time to let go and prepare to move up to the next level that God has for us. You may be experiencing changes in your life right now as God is preparing to use you in different ways to glorify his name. Be confident that God has given you everything you need to make the transition to the next level. Now comes the time when you say, “I’m ready God. Take me to the next level.”
Be diligent in effort and adding the 7 elements of growth in your life daily. The recipe for spiritual growth makes salvation sure, keeps one from stumbling and grants entrance into the Kingdom.
David slays Goliath while on a servitude mission for his father Jesse to check on the status of his brothers and to deliver food to them. David was in servitude following his fathers request with no intention to fight against Goliath. Have you come across unexpected giants in your life? Have you found yourself in servitude but having to slay a giant? or naysayer(s)? or negative Nick(s) or Nancy(s)? I find that helping others and being a blessing to others during times of stress or a during a “triggered” moment is very uplifting. Putting our minds on others helps to take away from wallowing or drowning in our own issues.
