• God's Word Can Change You
  Kathleen briefly talks of neuroscience, medicine, how the Word literally changes you because it's alive. Literally you are a new person, but we are responsible for our place here on earth. Be doers, not just hearers and readers of the Word. Build your house on the rock. Faith is action. Meditate on the word. Keep word in the midst of your heart.
• How Do I Continue In God's Word? (4 of 4)
  Continue means abide, remain, dwell, tarry (wait), not to depart, endure. CONTINUE in God's Word to get free. Free from what? judgment, torment, worry, repetitive sins, addiction, unforgiveness, sickness, depression, oppression, anger, bitterness, self reliance. Continuence moves God's heart to do miracles because it brings God's compassion.
• How God Speaks, Part 3 (6 of 10)
  God won't talk to us about certain matters unless He knows we will be obedient because He doesn't set us up for failure. Anytime God reveals something to you or puts you in a situation, it's because He sets you up to succeed, even if it is a difficult trial. God does speak to us. What God has shown Kathleen is that you don't have to understand it, you just have to agree because God is God and you are not. That opens our hearts to be obedient to Him. The Spirit is always talking, but not everyone is listening. If we are willing to obey, He will give us more and more truth, joy and love.
• Jesus, The Word in Action (Part 2)
  Kathleen discusses the powerful desires of God for us, accomplished through Jesus.
• Love Is Not Easily Angered Part 3
  The religious leaders tried to provoke Jesus' anger. In one instance, the Pharisees brought an adulteress to Jesus and asked Him to convict her. When Jesus wrote in the sand, He was showing them how He bought time and prayed before responding to the accusers and the woman. We often get in trouble when we answer too quickly. Most of us are slow to listen, quick to speak, and quick to anger. Although they were trying to trap Him into either saying that scripture was wrong about Moses or letting the adulteress off the hook, He responded by saying "he who is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone." That simple statement was so convicting that everyone left except the accused woman and Jesus. The number one lesson we should learn from this is to take our time and answer slowly.
• Personally Applying Scriptures
  The Words that came out of Jesus' mouth are Spirit and Life to us. They are life changing. Taking a scripture and speaking it out loud makes it come alive: Our lives will be blessed in those areas where we believe in and apply scripture. But unless we apply it, it won't do us any good. When we speak the Word of God, it has power in the heavenly realms. Angels even do bidding according to the Word of God. God's Word always has power. When we apply it to our life, it has power. The world was created by the spoken Word. The Word that was spoken out of the mouth of God (Bible) has so much power that it created the world. Jesus says, 'The Words I have spoken to you are Spirit and they are Life.'" 2 Tim 1:7 "
• Receiving God's Love For Yourself (Part 1)
  People want to give God's love to the world but do not know how. Before we give anything away, we have to receive it, then possess it, then give it. We cannot give something away that we do not have. Receive means to acquire or partake; possess means to carry it and have it with you; give means to dispense and give out. We have to love ourselves in order to love others. God says over and over to love your neighbors as you love yourself. When you fly, if there is ever a need to have oxygen, they say to apply the mask to yourself first, then help someone else. It is the same with mercy and forgiveness. If you haven't received it, you cannot give it.
• Responding In Belief -Obedience Part 3 (9 of 10)
  Imitate Jesus. When the spirit convicts us, it’s not the accusing way that Satan convicts us. We can’t change ourselves, but God can & we need to believe that. Belief leads to righteousness; and the more righteous we are, the more of His goodness He will give us & the more blessed we will be. When He reveals something to us and convicts us through His Word or through a message like this or through anything, don’t respond with the excuse, “That’s just how I am”. Respond in humility and ask Him to help you change.
• The Relationship (10/17/11)
  Christianity is about the Person of Jesus. We are made (by God, Our Creator) to know Him through the Person of Jesus (His Son.) Any approach we make toward God (with a true heart to want to know Him) He rewards.
• The Secret Revealed (1 of 10)
  The answer to what the secret is - Obedience. How many of you would have been excited if Kathleen said she was going to teach a minimum of 4 weeks on Obedience?! Unfortunately, the word "obedience" is distasteful to most of us, even though we want it from our children. It's interesting that Isaiah 1:19 says that "If you are obedient you will eat the good of the land." So who made "obedience" a distasteful word? The enemy! Isaiah says we will have the best in our life; but to us today, the word sounds so stoic plus it brings conviction. We don't want to hear it! When we look at some of the good results of obedience, most of us would be excited to be obedient to God.
• Too Proud For Grace
  The Bible tells us that pride will always bring us to destruction. How willing are we to humble ourselves and step aside in life? Kathleen explores the concepts of pride, humility and grace.
• What Are You Seeking?
  Deep in your heart, what do you treasure most? Do you know where to find it. Most of us are seeking the unknown. Seek Him Who wants to be known.
• Who Is Wisdom?
  Join Kathleen in a discussion of Wisdom. Who or what is it, where do you find it and what can it do for you?
• Who's At Your Gate?
  God puts certain people in our paths. Discover how to joyfully love the "unlovely" in your life.
• Your Actions (10 of 10)
  Kathleen is teaching about living out of our spirit. She reiterates that we are 3 part beings made up of our body, soul, and spirit. Living out of our body and soul is living out of our flesh verses walking with God by living out of our spirit. When we talk about obedience, we also have to consider our actions on other people. Obedience and disobedience are generational. Obedience has a windfall of good results for generations. Likewise, disobedience has a windfall of terrible results for generations.
