EPISODE NOTES This podcast for pewsitter is on how to become a disciple. In this talk, biblestudycompany asked Dr. Baruch to discuss what it means to be a disciple. He covers 2 Timothy 2:1-10. But first, he discusses Moses. Humility is a crucial component. Our understanding of humility is flawed. It is not an outward emotion or demeanor but a choice. Yes, a choice. According to Numbers 12:3, Moses was the most humble man on earth. How do we know humility has nothing to do with a demeanor? Because the Lord says: 7 "Not so, with My servant Moses, He is faithful in all My household; 8 With him I speak mouth to mouth, Even openly, and not in dark sayings, And he beholds the form of the LORD. " Please note that this confirms Gen 12:4 that Abraham was full of faith because He heard from the Lord and obeyed God's word. Moses, too, was humble because following the word of God is going to be hard on us. And that is why it is a choice. Obeying God can be so hard we may not be able to accomplish obedience without His help changing us! Our thoughts are that Moses was indeed humble and a strong leader. Inward strength is required to obey God's word. Will we make a choice to follow God's word with His help? So God is faithful to His word meaning that He keeps His promises. We are to be faithful to act on His word as well. https://biblestudycompany.com/blog/article/145

REPENTANCE: THE DOORWAY TO HONESTY WITH GOD> What exactly is repentance that changes hearts? We read about the Greek word in the bible is metanoia. It means to change one's mind and turn toward God's Will. But, I will add some depth from my experience. We must get so honest with God about our sin, knowing we cannot change without HIS HELP and transforming power of the HOLY SPIRIT. This is one reason Christ came to baptize us in the HS and fire. Fire is used in the altar to cleanse from sin, and coals from that fire are used in the altar of incense, which is our prayers about the thankfulness to God for our redemption. God will use trials in our lives to show us what is in our hearts. Yep, this hurts and feels like fire at times. Recently, I was struggling with needing direction on several courses of action we could take. Some were "wants, and some were needs." BTW many of these choices could create much distraction to accomplish. Distractions are what the "enemy of our soul" uses to keep us out of the word of God. I had been asking for solid direction from the Lord. I went for a walk to pray about these situations. As I headed out and took the little bible that had the Psalms in it, I was now at PS 23. "Oh," I thought, "how nice." I prayed the Psalm back to the Lord. "The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want." The thought shot through my mind. "That isn't you, Ric Joyner, you are a ball of wants." BAM, my heart laid wide open. So repentance had to start, and it began like this: "Lord, thank you for revealing my motives. So my prayers about direction were really: "Lord, will you bless whichever path I decide I want? Now I needed to repent and change my mind, but how? "So, Lord, will you change me as I "want all these wants?" But more than that, Lord, I want you to be my shepherd, and I need to wait (depend) on you. Then the next verse said. "He MAKES me lie down in green pastures." BAM 2. "Ok, gotcha, I need to stay put." Then I prayed an honest prayer again: "Lord, even if this scenario is my own mind, I will trust it as your word because acting on it shows faith and thus I cannot see how my flesh would like a prayer answered in this way, so I will take this as from You. But will you pls change my steps as I move forward if I heard you wrong?". This is repentance. He reveals our motives and sin, and with His help, He will change us!

EPISODE SUMMARY First Annual Bible Study Company Conference. When will the tribulation start? What is the next event on God's prophetic calendar? Dr. Baruch Korman of Loveisrael.org covers Ezekiel 44:23-17 EPISODE NOTES Dr. Baruch gives us the next events in God's prophetic timetable. It is as if you are sitting in front of Dr. Baruch, who is creating a dinner full of events that we can see unfolding. We are indeed in a startling time of history. Prophecy is unfolding before our eyes in rapid acceleration. For example, some of the questions Dr. Baruch answers are: When will the tribulation start? Watch Iran. What is the next prophetic escalation? The religion of the Anti-Christ will be tolerance, except for Jews and Christians. Why is global climate change a huge deal? Are there ways for us to be a Kingdom person? Why is there such a focus away from God's word in the church and to signs and wonders? Does the prayer of people in church seem to be for emotional revivals that focus on experiences rather than discipleship? The Lord always calls us to submit our lives to Him and His word. By asking for Christ's help to change us to line up with His will, the greatest miracle of all happens. A person's heart is changed; they are born again; they can understand God's ways and will bear fruit according to Christ and the Kingdom of God.

Podcast for Pewsitters with Dr. Baruch Korman of Loveisrael.org EPISODE SUMMARY Why study the Bible? What is the purpose? Are you a disciple of Christ? From Romans 9:1-16 Part 1, Dr. Baruch Korman shares at the First Annual User Conference why we as Pewsitters need to study God's word. EPISODE NOTES Why study the Bible? What is the purpose? Are you a disciple of Christ? Disciples obey the teacher. Our Teacher is the Lord Jesus Christ. From Romans 9:1-16 Part 1, Dr. Baruch Korman shares at the First Annual User Conference why, we as Pewsitters, need to study God's word. But how? One of the first signs of someone's experience of being born again INTO GOD'S Kingdom is a hunger for God's word. But what about us who have been "sitting in pews" for many years? The main reason for us to dig in as pewsitters is to get to KNOW God. We can ask Him to be Lord of our life but what does that mean? Who is this God I cannot see? But I can hear from Him through His Word. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. Dr. Baruch Korman of Loveisrael.org helps us to get a foundation of FAITH in the why, how, of biblical study. Join us for this podcast or video. Dr. Baruch goes into detail about a passage that was important to the Apostle Paul. Today the church is lacking in teaching about doctrine and theology because it may not "grow" the church. But for those of us who wish to be disciples to live a praiseworthy life to God, we must know how critical doctrine and theology are to our walk with Christ. The Lord wants us to be ready and prepared. We do this by knowing how and what God expects us to obey. Don't miss this foundation talk! https://biblestudycompany.com/blog/article/142

cf. Genesis 3:8 where it is written, ". . . so the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of ADONAI . . ." and Genesis 3:10 where Adam says, " . . .so I hid myself
Strong's reference in Genesis 3:8 = 2244
Strong's reference in Genesis 3:10= 2244
Strong's reference in Job 13:24=5641

How often do we attempt to hide our sin and ourselves from ADONAI?

How often do we think that God seems to be hiding Himself from us?
