BIBLE STUDY – August 8, 2012

LUKE CHAPTER 8

VERSE 1 – “   … and the twelve were with him.”  Are you with Jesus?  When we get with JESUS we should start smelling like him….acting like him.  When JESUS gets you out of the mess – STAY OUT OF THE MESS.  We must follow him carefully, like the disciples.  Spend time with him.  HOW? Read your bible.  Quit being depressed, letting everything bother you.  There is so much to be happy about.

VERSES 5-8 -  refers to your spiritual diet and how the devil does not want you to eat of it.  The seed in the parable refers to the word of GOD.  The seed that you need causes you to prosper, bring you off your sick bed, feeds you when you’re hungry, makes a way out of no way.

VERSE 10  - unto you it is given to know – is speaking to the children of GOD. Few people out of the 7 billion people on earth grab a whole of the truth of God and keep it.  GOD has a plan for you.  All you have to do is quit messing up the plan

PSALM 91 says “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.  Keep your faith in GOD and don’t feed your fear


You’re the one that has to make the seed of life prosper.  Sew the word by speaking the word.  NOTE: You can’t prosper hating people that are prosperous.  You have to love prosperity to reap prosperity.

   You have to speak it and when it comes your way receive it and then do the right thing with it.  Speak it until you create it.

VERSE 12 -  Keep speaking it . Creation is in the tongue.  If you say it and believe what you say, it will come to pass.  When you believe, you sew the right words out of your mouth.  Get away from those who sew negativity.

VERSE 13 – Stay put long enough til the roots grow down.  The word must take root.

VERSE 14 – Sometimes the stuff around you will choke the word out of you.  Get rid of the stuff – the deceptiveness of riches  - Easy come – easy go.

VERSE 15 – Keep the word in your heart.  Be patient.  Stay with it.  Don’t give up.  God will be there every day with grace.  Whatever you go through he will go through with you.
