YOU ARE RECEIVING THE FULFILMENT OF GOD’S PROMISES AS YOU CONTINUE TO STUDY THE BIBLE ABOUT UNDERSTANDING HIS PROMISES TO YOU:

1. Judges 13-15, Luke 6:27-49

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Judges%2013-15%2CLuke%206%3A27-49&version=NOG

PN 1). In the accounts of Judges 13, 14, and 15, we witness the story of Samson, a man appointed by God to deliver Israel from their enemies. This narrative reveals God’s promise of strength and empowerment to those called to fulfil His purposes. For Pentecostal believers, this serves as a reminder that God equips and empowers us for the tasks He assigns. Through the Holy Spirit, we have access to the same power that enabled Samson to achieve remarkable feats (Judges 13:25).

In Luke 6:27-49, Jesus imparts teachings on love, forgiveness, and the importance of building a foundation on Him. For Pentecostal believers, these teachings hold significant interpretations and applications for daily living. The promise of God’s love and forgiveness is evident in His directive to love our enemies and to extend forgiveness as we have been forgiven by God (Luke 6:37).

The exhortation to establish our foundation on Christ, as emphasised in Luke 6, reminds Pentecostal believers to prioritise their relationship with God above all else. This involves seeking His will through prayer, studying His Word, and living out our faith in compliance with His teachings. By doing so, we can withstand the storms and trials of life, secure in the unshakeable truth of God’s promises (Luke 6:47-48).

In summary, the stories of Samson and the teachings of Jesus in Luke 6 provide Pentecostal believers with valuable insights into God’s assurances, explanations, and practical implications for daily living. They encourage us to draw strength from God, love unconditionally, extend forgiveness, and establish our lives on the unyielding foundation of Christ. These principles guide us in walking faithfully with God and fulfilling His purposes for our lives.

LET’S PRAY:

1. Prayer for God’s strength and empowerment to fulfil His purposes in our lives (Judges 13:25).
2. Prayer for the ability to love our enemies and extend forgiveness as we have been forgiven by God (Luke 6:37).
3. Prayer for wisdom to build our foundation on Christ, seeking His will through prayer and studying His Word (Luke 6:47-48).
4. Prayer for spiritual discernment to recognise and resist the temptations that may lead us away from God’s path (Judges 14:16).
5. Prayer for a spirit of boldness and courage to stand firm in our faith and face challenges with God’s strength (Judges 15:14).
6. Prayer for humility to treat others with the same mercy and compassion that God shows us (Luke 6:36).
7. Prayer for a heart that is receptive to God’s teachings and willing to obey His commands in all aspects of life (Luke 6:46).
8. Prayer for a deeper understanding of God’s promises and assurances, that we may hold fast to His truth in the midst of trials and tribulations (Luke 6:48-49).
9. Prayer for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit in our lives, equipping us with spiritual gifts to serve God and others effectively (Judges 14:6).
10. Prayer for a steadfast faith that trusts in God’s faithfulness and relies on His provision in every circumstance (Judges 15:18).

May these prayer points inspire and guide us in our daily walk with God as Pentecostal believers, drawing strength and wisdom from His Word and seeking to honour Him in all that we do.

2. Judges 16-18, Luke 7:1-30

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Judges%2016-18%2CLuke%207%3A1-30&version=NOG

PN 2). Here are some general principles, promises, interpretations, and applications for Pentecostal believers based on the passages you mentioned:

1. God’s Promise of Strength in Weakness (Judges 16): Despite Samson’s weaknesses and failures, God was able to use him mightily through the strength of the Spirit. This serves as a reminder that God’s power is made perfect in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9), and as Pentecostal believers, we can rely on God’s strength to overcome our own shortcomings and challenges.
2. Warning Against Idolatry and False Worship (Judges 17): The story of Micah and the idols he made highlights the dangers of compromise and false worship. As Pentecostal believers, we are called to worship God in spirit and truth (John 4:24) and to guard against any form of idolatry or distractions that can hinder our relationship with Him.
3. Seeking God’s Will and Guidance (Judges 18): The tribe of Dan’s misguided quest for land and false worship serves as a cautionary tale about the importance of seeking God’s will and guidance in all aspects of our lives. Pentecostal believers are encouraged to trust in God’s leading and not rely on their own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6).
4. Faith and Humility in Prayer (Luke 7:1-30): The centurion’s faith in Jesus’ authority to heal his servant without physically being present, as well as John the Baptist’s humility in acknowledging Jesus’ superiority, demonstrate the power of faith and humility in prayer. Pentecostal believers are encouraged to have unwavering faith in God’s ability to answer prayers and to approach Him with humility and reverence.

In daily living, Pentecostal believers can apply these principles by relying on God’s strength in their weaknesses, guarding against idolatry and false worship, seeking God’s will in all decisions, and approaching Him with faith and humility in prayer.

LET’S PRAY:

Here are some prayer points that Pentecostal believers can draw from Judges 16, 17, 18, and Luke 7:1-30, along with corresponding Bible verses from the Names of God Translation:

1. Prayer for Strength in Weakness (Judges 16):

– Verse: “Lord, help me to rely on Your strength in my weaknesses, knowing that Your power is made perfect in my weakness.” (2 Corinthians 12:9)

2. Prayer for Guidance and Wisdom in Worship (Judges 17):

– Verse: “God, lead me in worshiping You in spirit and truth, and guard me against any form of false worship or idolatry.” (John 4:24)

3. Prayer for Discernment and God’s Will (Judges 18):

– Verse: “Lord, grant me discernment to seek Your will in all my decisions, trusting in Your guidance and not my own understanding.” (Proverbs 3:5-6)

4. Prayer for Faith and Humility in Relationships and Intercession (Luke 7:1-30):

– Verse: “Father, help me to have unwavering faith in Your ability to answer prayers, and approach You with humility and reverence in all my requests.” (James 1:6)

5. Prayer for Boldness and Empowerment in Sharing the Gospel (Luke 7:1-30):

– Verse: “Holy Spirit, fill me with boldness and empower me to share the message of salvation with others, just as John the Baptist prepared the way for Jesus.” (Acts 1:8)

6. Prayer for a Heart of Compassion and Forgiveness (Luke 7:1-30):

– Verse: “Lord, cultivate in me a heart of compassion and forgiveness, just as Jesus showed compassion and forgiveness to the sinful woman.” (Ephesians 4:32)

7. Prayer for a Spirit of Openness and Teachability (Luke 7:1-30):

– Verse: “God, grant me a spirit of openness and teachability, like the centurion who recognized Jesus’ authority and humbly approached Him for help.” (Psalm 25:4-5)

These prayers can help Pentecostal believers align their hearts and minds with God’s will and purposes, drawing strength, guidance, and wisdom from His Word and seeking to live out their faith in a way that honours and glorifies Him.

3. Judges 19-21, Luke 7:31-50

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Judges%2019-21%2CLuke%207%3A31-50&version=NOG

PN 3).  In Judges 19, 20, and 21, we see a dark and troubling account of the sin and depravity present in the world. However, in the midst of this darkness, we can find God’s promises to Pentecostal believers as revealed in the Names of God Bible translation.

1. El Roi (The God Who Sees Me):

– Interpretation: Just as Jesus showed compassion and forgiveness to the woman in Luke, God is always ready to extend His grace to those who seek Him.

– Application: Trust in God’s power to bring physical, emotional, and spiritual healing in your life. Approach Him with faith and expect Him to work miracles in your situation.

PN7). In 1 Samuel 7, we see the Israelites repenting and turning back to God, and God delivering them from their enemies when they sought Him earnestly. This passage teaches Pentecostal believers that true repentance and seeking after God’s presence leads to His deliverance and victory in our lives.

1 Samuel 8 shows the consequences of rejecting God’s rule over our lives and choosing to follow our own ways or the ways of the world. Pentecostal believers can learn from this passage the importance of submitting to God’s authority and seeking His will above our own desires.

In 1 Samuel 9, we see God’s faithfulness in guiding and orchestrating the events in our lives, even when we may not understand His plans at first. Pentecostal believers can find comfort in knowing that God is always in control and working all things for our good.

Luke 9:18-36 reveals the identity of Jesus as the Messiah and the Son of God. Pentecostal believers can draw encouragement and strength from this passage as we affirm our faith in Jesus and His power to transform lives and perform miracles in our midst.

Overall, these passages remind Pentecostal believers of the importance of repentance, submission to God’s authority, trusting in His guidance, and declaring our faith in Jesus as the Son of God in our daily living. By leaning on these truths and promises, we can experience the abundant life that God has in store for us as His children.

LET’S PRAY:
