Hello and Welcome to Section 2 : In this lesson, we will delve into the nature of God, exploring key aspects and their significance.  By the end of this study, you will be able to identify four fundamental pieces of God's nature. In the field of Systematic Theology, one important question arises: "What is God like?" Understanding God's nature is like getting to know the main character of the greatest story ever told. Let's explore this journey in simpler terms, using passages from the Bible. God's Nature: Like Piecing Together a Puzzle God's nature is complex, but perfect in its makeup. By understanding the interconnection of different elements, we can truly know who God is. As we explore each aspect and go deeper, we gain a deep understanding of God's nature. Systematic Theology helps us organize and classify these aspects, enabling us to better understand God's holiness and supreme control. 4 Key Pieces of God's Nature in Systematic Theology God is Loving: "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love." (1 John 4:8) God's love shines as a guiding light in our lives, enveloping us with His boundless compassion and care. God is Wise: "Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!" (Romans 11:33) The omniscience of God enables us to perceive truth with clarity, guiding us through life's complexities and illuminating the path of righteousness. God is All-Powerful: "Ah, Sovereign LORD, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you." (Jeremiah 32:17) God's omnipotence encompasses His ability to perform remarkable feats and overcome any obstacle that stands in His way. God is Everywhere: "Can anyone hide in secret places so that I cannot see them?" declares the LORD. "Do not I fill heaven and earth?" (Jeremiah 23:24) The omnipresence of God assures us that He is always with us, regardless of our physical location. His comforting presence brings solace and strength.

In this module we will discuss the 5 parts to overcoming limiting beliefs How to spot negativity Getting to the truth (using scripture)  Giving your anxiety to God Protecting your mind Remembering God's promises to you By the end of this module you will... - Understand how God wants you to protect your mind - Understand how each of these 5 parts plays a big role - Know how to use each part in your daily routine So, what are limiting beliefs? They're the ingrained convictions that constrain our life experience. They're often subliminal messages we've absorbed from our environment, experiences, and past mistakes. They whisper quietly in our minds, 'You can't do this', 'You're not good enough', or 'This is not for someone like you'. Today, we dismantle these lies brick by brick." Step one is Identification. Sometimes, recognizing these beliefs is the hardest part. To help bring them into the light, take a moment each day to reflect on your thoughts and feelings. Ask yourself, 'What beliefs are holding me back?' Write them down, for what we can see, we can change. What beliefs consistently challenge my faith and actions? Step two, Challenge your beliefs. Sit down with each belief and interrogate it as if it's on trial. Does this belief hold up against evidence? Has it always been true? You'll find that most of these beliefs are not absolute truths, but rather opinions—often not even your own. Let's move to step three, Restructure. After challenging a limiting belief, reframe it into a positive, empowering belief. If your limiting belief was 'I'm not capable of leading a group study,' reframe it as 'I am learning and growing each day to guide others in faith.' The reframing step is about rewriting your mental script. Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle. Step four is about Building New Evidence. Act upon your new, positive beliefs. Each small action you take will serve as proof that your limiting beliefs are false and that your new beliefs are the true reflection of your capabilities and your potential. "Today, make one small decision to act on your new belief." Lastly, step five is Maintenance. Keep a journal of successes, no matter how small they may seem. These records will reinforce your new, positive beliefs and remind you of your progress, especially on challenging days. Remember, overcoming limiting beliefs is a process—an incredibly rewarding one that reinforces your faith and frees you to live the life you were meant to live. It takes persistence and, indeed faith.
