The title of the Bible Study was This Is A Test
The Study Came From Matthew 14:22-31
During your period of crisis, things might not go as you would probably hope .Trust God. We have witnessed his miracles in his Word and in our daily lives. It is imperative that we trust Him.
Do exactly what Christ say. You will find yourself through your obedience in trials and tribulations. We as Christians need to be real and open to each other about our struggles in order to encourage each other and confirm to others that being a Christian does not make your life Happy Forever After. The reality is you will find difficult challenges in life because you are a Christian. You will have help through your Challenges by the power of God. It is possible to have the joy even during your trials and tribulations. Everything will work out for your good if you love the Lord. God said it.
Christians need to stop pretending that they have it all because they are followers of Christ. You will win more souls with truth. Show others how human and real life is as a Christian. Pray often.
Beware of people who always has a revelation from God for you. Pray to God to speak to you about you. When God tells you to go...GO!
Remember that death and life is in the power of the tongue. Be careful of what you speak on or about. Even if the world does not hear, God is always listening. No matter where God sends you, or what troubles you are facing, He is right there with you.

| Your worship of the Living God personifies your depth of worth that you personally place in God. Watch how other people worship God. It will give you an insight on how they truly feel about God Almighty. As you believe -- so you worship. Your belief system determines your nature of worship. Study, Read, Peruse, Search,Concentrate and write the word of God on the tablets of your heart. It is what you know about God that produces worship. The bible states that He will give your perfect peace, who's mind is stayed (Continuous thoughts) on Him.Your Faith will come by hearing the word of God. The bible is the true revelation of God. Adore God. Give Him what He deserves, Worship. We should worship Him in spirit and in Truth.

| Through Faith - We Understand Faith mean that sometimes, We do not know how, We do not know when, but You Just Know that somehow it is going to work out! Faith does not give you the ability to understand what is happening or transpiring. It gives you the ability to trust that it will work out though! We spend too much time trying to figure things out, when we are told to trust God and His word. Believe that God will do what He said that He will do. It takes God to shake us up and open our eyes. Sometimes He is the only one that can get our attention to make us stop, slow down and think about what we are facing. Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen. Having faith does not necessarily mean that everything will be alright. What do you do when you have lost hope? You need to get what is called the NOW Faith. We need to try to constantly build upon our faith. We spend too much time looking in the wrong places. We spend too much time going through the, what ifs. There is a constant battle between God and the enemy. Our faith grows because we grow through situations and circumstances. Praise God no matter what you are going through. Look on the inside of a person before judging the outside. Do not write a person off because you do not like the type of shoes He or She is wearing. What about the heart of that person! What about the inner-man! You can have a well dressed good looking person in front of you but their heart could be evil and Godless. Do not let Society set your standards of living. It is best to obey God rather than man. What society dictates can not take authority over what God commands. It is a daily process to learn and grow in our roles as Christians in this world. Pray and change yourself and do not try to change others.

Hebrews 9:11 9 Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;
10 Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.
11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;
12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
15 ¶ And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
18 Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.
19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,
20 Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.
21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.
22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. Sermon Topic: Nothing but the Blood. Trust in the Lord and what He did for you on the cross. Do not cast your confidence away in God. persevere, be faithful, hold on, remain steadfast and endure until the end. God will do what He said he would do. Learn to be anchored in the Lord. Suffering after suffering, pain after pain, mishap after mishap, trial after trial, stumbling block after stumbling block and mountain after mountain could cause you to stray away from God if you are not careful. No matter what you are going through, Hold On To Your Faith In God! Jesus is the blood sacrifice for our sins. With out the blood there is no remission of sin. There is life in the blood. Remember, The blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ does not give us license to sin! (Shacking up, laying up, smoking, excessive drinking, and more. See Galations 5 and Ephesians 4) Christians are still called to obedience to the word of God. If you have a secret sin, God will open up the scandal and every one will see. No stone will be unturned. That which is done in secret will be brought to light. Repent! Sin breaks fellowship with God. You can not live any kind of life style that you want to live, that is called dead works. It is non-effective. Let God get you right on the inside. There is power in the Blood. There is life in the Blood. There is cleansing in the Blood. We need to be sold out to Christ because we are bought with a price.
