RRSSD11 Steadfast vs. Faint-Hearted

Therefore, my dear friends, stand firm (steadfast). Let nothing move you. 1 Corinthians 15:58 Steadfast is to be fixed, firm, steady and unlovable. We will evaluate evidence of faintheartedness and identify bondage in our lives. We will learn how to let God's Word build in us steadfast courage. The principle is "Relationships with mental torment are bondage." 

RRSSD10 Finding Balance

I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation. I can do (endure) everything through him who gives me strength. Philippians 4:12-13 I can no longer think like a person in spiritual poverty. I must reprogram my thinking and speak to myself with the truth of God's Word. This lesson identifies our imbalances and helps us set goals to balance ourselves. There is another self evaluation scale to determine where the lies are that keep you stuck. Submitting myself to God and resisting the devil is a maturity skill. 

RRSSD Emotional Maturity

Emotional maturity develops as we build faith in Christ. When my faith is weak my emotions are in control. I know this is happening because I can hear myself whining, nagging, complaining, and in general discontent feeding my flesh. This lesson teaches you how to go to higher ground, higher than your emotions. 

RRSSD Hidden Treasure

So, my friend, if the Bible is empty and lifeless to you, persevere until it comes alive in your soul. For the Word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints, and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Hebrews 4:12 

RRSSD9 Defilement

Emotional maturity owns complete responsibility to receive instructions and correction. He that has no rule over his own spirit (lacks self-control) is like a city that is broken down, and without walls. Proverbs 25:28

This lesson will look at different levels of foolishness: naive, stubbornness, mockers and scorners. This is an in-depth study of the warnings and instructions in Proverbs. There is a Defilement Questionnaire at the end of the study.

RRSSD Less Darkness

What is it that you know to do that you are not doing? Consider carefully what you hear: with that light (truth) you use, you shall have enough light, and will be given more light (truth). But for you that have light and refuse it, even the light you have will be taken from you. Mark 4:24-25

RRSSD Signs and Symptoms of Rejecting Light

A child does not have the moral capacity to understand how to accept light and govern themselves through the truth of God's Word. An adult walking in "DARKNESS" has missed this stage. The goal is to retrain our thinking patterns and break the many lies that bind us in destructive behaviors. 

RRSSD 8 Oppression

Emotional maturity conquers oppressive thinking. If I agree with oppressive attitudes, it empowers them to become stronger. Then every thought I have will validate their need to be indulged. This lesson will explore the oppressive attitudes we agree with that needs to be renounced and we will loose a breakthrough with the good things we need to nurture and grow in our lives. This is an awareness of my emotional suffering and an intentional healing. We will explore who we are in Christ, how to trust God and to choose God first in our thought life. This practice will bring peace and a sound mind.

RRSSD Shaping Good Behaviors

We need supernatural power to break poor habits.

Until I plow my soul and break up my fallow ground (character/behavioral) defects, I am not going to grow properly and produce a harvest of righteousness and peace with a heart full of quietness and assurance. 

RRSSD Waiting on the Lord

Waiting on the Lord is a skill to be cultivated with a quiet and trusting heart. There is a character skill of "waiting" that needs practiced with loved ones where we give them direction gently and wait until they are ready for more guidance.
