Theme:
How A Believer Can Grow Spiritually And Overcome Sin ?
Texts: Galatians 5:1,16-22; 1 Corinthians 10:12,13, 1 John 3:3,9
INTRODUCTION: Spiritual Discipline is practicing and applying what you teach, believe,
study and preach(Micah 6:8; James 1:22). The Five Smooth Stones of Discipline are as follows:
Sacrifice-Rom 12:1, Obedience-Heb. 11;6, Purpose-Dan. 1:8, Accountability-Rom. 14:12, and Discipline- 1 Cor. 9:25.
Discipline makes you a better person(11 Cor. 3:2,;Jude 22).
“Life is a journey, and an Adventure, a Challenge, a Turning Point Crossroad
and a Teachable Moment”
Having Faith in difficult times means the ability and gift(Rom 12:3;Matt. 25:15)to
survive and win against misery, uncertainties and calamities. It takes a key to activate your faith. Faith is when God is
involved in your affairs(Dan.4:17;1 Cor. 3:7; Isaiah 40:29)and also what are the intentions(purpose and attitude{John 18:37;11
Cor. 9:7}). From This profound illumination of this exegesis of faith derives the mathematical concept of “PI”-3.14(Phil.3:
14;Phil. 4:13);E=MC2{-Heb. 1:3;John 3:12}(Energy equals matter that is conserved and converted into activation=Energy equal
Motivation with Confidence and creativity. If we can apply these two principles theologically from the scientific, Faith will
revolutionize the world and revitalize Christianity.

Part Two:Definition of Success Bible Study Course
By James Parrott
Copyright(C)2008.James Parrott.All Rights Reserved:Treasure The Moment Ministries.
Texts:Eccl. 3:1;Eccl.9:11;1 Sam.30:6;1 Cor. 10:23;Phil.4:8
John 3:12
Success is when one never gives up on an idea, one's self, and life:by doing so one is able to fulfil
one's desires and dreams. Five succesful people you would like to meet and this will change your life:Rich People(obedience),
Educated People(Truth), Famous People(humility), Spiritual People(holiness), Powerfully Connected People(love).
Spiritually, this is the believer's success, because spiritually these five smooth stones ;humility,
holiness, obedience, truth, love;are the five things the devil cannot do. That's how we get the victory over the deviland
have success in life(1 John 5:4;Josh.1:8,9). Anger will keep you from energy, growth and change which is success. The Five
reasons why people are angry; because they have no purpose, values and direction. The five reasons people are angry are the
following:Regrets, Pessimistic, Rejection, Stubborness, and Unforgiving.
Part Three:Breaking The Vicious Cycle of Temptation---
Taken from:

There are these three cycles that synergize temptation.If you could break one of these cycles, you would have
taken some of the energy out of this monster. If you eliminate two or all three, you then have dominion over this garden leviathan.
AMBITION, CURIOSITY, DESIRE tends to be almost like the three witches that got Macbeth into this snare, which
lead to his demise. Ambition:Cause is Col.3:1-5;John 18:37;Luke 10:17-19:Effect-Phil.3:12-14;Phil. 3:20,21;Luke 10:20-21.
Curiosity:Cause is Col. 2:21;Acts 19:19:Effect is Rom. 6:1-6;1 John 2:15,16. Desire:Cause is James 1:15;1 Cor. 11:30;11 Cor.
10:4,5; Effect is Psa. 27:5;John 10:10;Phil. 1:21-23.
Ambition has to do with the Flesh{five senses}(Heb. 5:14). Curiosity has to do with one's Emotions(Gal. 5:18-22).
Desire has to do with the mind and the heart(Dan.2:29-31;Jer. 17:9).
Samson was Ambition--Judg.14:14-16; Curiosity-Judg.13:1-3;Judg. 16:1; Desires(Judg.16:15-20,24). Samson
serves as our example; if you want power over the devil, you cannot play and sleep with the devil(Judg.14:14;Judg.16:19)
