God's Divine Attributes
In this lecture we will discuss God's Attributes and why they are so important to make sure you understand clearly. By the end of this lesson you will be able to clearly define each attribute with a clearer understanding of God So what are the Divine Attributes The concept of Divine Attributes refers to the qualities that are often associated with God. These attributes highlight His nature and power. Three fundamental divine attributes are omniscience, omnipotence, and omnipresence. Let's explore each attribute in a little more detail. 1. Omniscience: God's All-Knowing Nature Omniscience represents God's complete knowledge and understanding of all things. He knows everything that has happened, is happening, and will happen in the future. The Bible provides several verses that support this concept. For example, in Psalm 147:5 (NIV), we read, "Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit." This verse tell us that God's knowledge surpasses human comprehension, and He possesses perfect understanding. Similarly, 1 John 3:20 (NIV) states, "If our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything." These verses teach us that God knows even the deepest secrets of our hearts and has a comprehensive understanding of every aspect of our lives. In simple terms, God's omniscience means that He knows everything there is to know. He is aware of our thoughts, desires, and actions. This attribute provides comfort and reassurance, knowing that God sees and understands everything we go through. 2. Omnipotence: God's All-Powerful Nature Omnipotence signifies God's unlimited power and ability to do anything. He is the almighty creator of the universe. In Jeremiah 32:17 (NIV), we read, "Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you." This verse highlights that God's power is extraordinary, and there is nothing beyond His capability. Another verse, Matthew 19:26 (NIV), states, "Jesus looked at them and said, 'With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.'" These words from Jesus remind us that God's power extends beyond human limitations. God's omnipotence assures us that He is in control of all circumstances and can accomplish anything according to His will. It gives us hope and encourages us to trust in His ability to work miracles in our lives. 3. Omnipresence: God's Everywhere-Present Nature Omnipresence refers to God's presence being everywhere at all times. He is not limited by physical boundaries or constrained by time. In Psalm 139:7-10 (NIV), we find these words, "Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast." These verses capture the idea that God's presence encompasses the entire universe.

Heaven & Hell
In Christian theology, the concept of the afterlife plays a significant role in shaping beliefs and understanding the Christian hope. Central to this hope is the assurance of eternal life, the reality of heaven and hell, and the promise of resurrection. Heaven: The Blessed Abode Heaven is often described as the eternal dwelling place of God and the destination of believers after death. It is depicted as a place of perfect joy, peace, and communion with God. The idea of heaven can be found throughout the Bible, including in the following verses: John 14:2-3 - "In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also." Revelation 21:4 - "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away." Heaven is portrayed as a realm that is both eternal and perfect in these verses. The emphasis is on its unwavering nature, providing believers with a sense of hope and comfort. It serves as a profound source of solace for those seeking reassurance in the face of life's uncertainties. The eternal nature of heaven assures believers that it transcends the temporal limitations of this world, offering a sanctuary of permanence and tranquility. Its perfect essence implies a place untouched by imperfections and suffering, providing a haven of ultimate fulfillment for those who place their faith in its existence.

Overcoming Limiting Beliefs
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.

Welcome to this lesson Welcome to this lecture What will we be covering in this

lecture We will explore certain prophecies related to Jesus the Messianic prophecies What you will

learn from this section is how significant these prophecies are about Christ coming including Bible verses

We always go back to context how these prophecies were fulfilled The life the ministry and the identity of Christ

connecting the old and the New Testament Promises to their New Testament realizations thematic connections

between prophecies including redemption justice And we will talk about the nature of the Messiah's mission Also

get into the relevance and application of these prophecies to modern day Christian faith and belief in Christ Again we

will follow the same format of providing Bible verses brief explanations for each If it seems like

we're moving a little bit too quickly or you're feeling overwhelmed please pause the video take a break

come back to it Remember you can rewind you can re-watch that's the point of

this course Re-watch the videos go back through the videos so you can learn from

them right Don't just watch them once I recommend watching them multiple times in multiple different areas So these lectures

are designed to be watched that way to be learned that way to jump around from

course to course within the academy learning as you go So additionally if any particular prophecy interest

you you can do a deeper study into it A specific topic study into that

prophecy Now let's get into some of these prophecies here Prophecies related to Jesus the Messiah We'll start with Isaiah

the Emanuel prophecy What is the verse here 714 Isaiah's prophecy foretells a miraculous sign a virgin conceiving

giving birth to a son named Emmanuel which means God with us So what did

this prophecy fulfill What does this prophecy mean This prophecy finds fulfillment in Christ himself really emphasizes his divine

nature of who he is now in Micah The promise of Bethlehem Ok We see

the verse here the example Micah 52 Micah's prophecy identifies Bethlehem as the birthplace of the Messiah

who will be the ruler over Israel So what does this mean This prophecy aligns

with the gospel accounts of Jesus birth in Bethlehem born in Bethlehem That's how this lined up

and came true So Isaiah the suffering servant let's get into the verse here 53 5 Isaiah depicts a suffering

servant who bears the punishment for our sins leading to peace leading to healing We know this

is this can only be Christ We see the theme of all these prophecies all pointing to Jesus

pointing to Christ pointing to the Messiah So this prophecy it captures the redemptive purpose

of Christ's sacrifice Christ will come for us He will die for us on the cross

He will pay for our sins Isaiah was predicting this So it this is exciting to

see how they were predicted so long ago and they've come true So this what this is meant to do

underlying is give faith in the rest of the Bible that has not come true

yet the prophecies that we have not seen yet the prophecies that are yet to unfold It's exciting to think

about Now Zechariah this is the triumphal entry OK What is the verse here 99 Zechariah paints

a pretty particular picture of the Messiah's entry into Jerusalem How will he come into Jerusalem riding on a

donkey What is the message here What does it signify humility and victory So this

prophecy it aligns with Christ triumphal entry before his crucifixion So you see how this everything lines up and everything

works the way it's supposed to work Only God only God's hand could make all these things work in

this exact way Let's look at Isaiah again the light in the darkness Ok Isaiah had a

lot of prophecies Isaiah 92 speaks of a great light shining in darkness symbolizing hope symbolizing salvation So

this light as you can imagine is fulfilled in Jesus who proclaimed himself as the light

of the world So Psalm 22 the crucifixion What is the verse here to to give an example It's

not a traditional prophecy but Psalm 22 describes the agony suffering of the Messiah OK with details reminiscent to

Jesus crucifixion and his events So we see this going back into the Psalms as well predicting Christ

would come he would be crucified pay for our sins This is what would happen this is how it

would happen So these prophecies get very exciting They continue to go on and on and we see these

predictions we see these predictions of Christ coming what he would do for us how

he would do that for us we see in Daniel ok The son of man Daniel has predicted

a lot of end times prophecy a lot of prophecy to the king right A

lot of prophecy to the pharaoh So now let's get into Daniel 713 Daniel's vision

of the son of man coming with the clouds symbolizes the Messiah's exaltation and authority Now what does this

imagery correspond to to Jesus self identification as the son of man Jesus will come on

the clouds He will meet us in the clouds This also ties back to revelation Now Malachi

the messenger before the Messiah Malachi three OK To explore this a little bit Malachi prophesized about

a messenger who will prepare the way for the Lord who is this messenger later identified

as John the Baptist You're probably familiar with John you've probably heard of John John prepared the way

for Jesus So that John went through prepared the way for Jesus was preaching for Jesus was doing everything for

Jesus This was predicted long before John was in that position So again it's very interesting

to see how all of these prophecies were not just built were not just put together we're not

just conveyed but how God had to understand things from so many different perspectives that

we could not understand which goes to his omniscience knowing everything being everywhere understanding everything So in this lesson

OK we've learned about some specific prophecies in the Bible related to Christ There are many

more It would take us hours to go through every single individual prophecy But I

recommend you go back through prophecies that interest you you delve into them a little bit deeper you

go through them a little bit deeper OK These are called topic studies Highly recommend these all

the time But the prophecies we covered related to Christ we went over their verses how

they were fulfilled Now you know some themes and connections how they connect thematically OK Throughout the

Bible recurring themes just like in the minor prophets we discussed humility redemption and nature the nature of the

Messiah We touched on the Old Testament to New Testament Give you a deeper understanding of how the prophecies

from the Old Testament were realized in the New Testament And then finally relevance and application So learning about the

relevance of these prophecies how do we apply them to modern day life We apply

them to our Christian faith We allow them to enrich our understanding of Christ of what Christ did for

us how Christ came and also take the approach of understanding that Christ coming was predicted

long before he was here long before he came here in no other way that could have been

possible other than through divine intervention through God's ultimate divine plan So as we explore through these

prophecies we see a picture of Jesus as the fulfillment of God's promises and the centerpiece of redemption

and history That is the thread throughout the Bible That is the thread throughout prophecy So this should

help deepen understanding of Jesus identity mission and overall victory So congratulations for finishing this
