Suggestion
1. Ask three friends to do this study with you. (Men and women are in separate groups of 4 each.)
2. Everybody does the study on their own.
3. When all 4 finished the study, meet and discuss what you have discovered.
4. It is of utmost importance to move from information to obedience. Studying the Bible gives information and revelation. Obedience is the practical application. Discuss how to apply what you have discovered.
5. This is study No.24 in the series. Consider doing all 25 studies in this series.
6. Can you think of people who may benefit from these studies? Contact them. Encourage them to gather four people and do this series of Bible Studies.
7. These Bible studies will help you grow as a disciple and a disciple-maker, giving you practical guidelines to lead others to the Lord and make them disciples and disciple-makers.
What Jesus said about spiritual warfare
The Scripture passages to study: Luke 4:1-14, John 8:44 and John 10:10
1. What do we learn about God from these passages? (How is God revealing Himself to us in these passages: His character, works, commands, and promises?)
2. What do I learn about myself or people from these passages? (What is God expecting from me? What needs to change in my life? What are my responsibilities?).
3. A meaningful question to ask is: Why are these passages in the Bible?
Satan came to Jesus with specific Scripture passages. But Jesus realised that one cannot read those passages in isolation. Jesus resisted Satan by saying: "It is written..." and "It is also written." Let us keep close to the Word - when in doubt, consult the Word; when under attack, consult the Word. Satan will try to take a piece of the Word and deceive you with it. But the Holy Spirit will warn you if you walk close to God. Remember: Scripture explains Scripture.
Information to obedience: Because God is speaking here, we must respond. We must transition from information to obedience: What must change in my life?
After studying Luke 4:1-14, John 8:44, and John 10:10, what do you sense the Holy Spirit is saying and asking you to do?
1. How can I apply and integrate these truths in my life?
2. How must I obey God?
3. What and for whom can I pray from these passages?
