WHAT IS PRAYER:
Communication is important in every relationship – especially
our relationship with God.
 Prayer is personal communication with God. It does not
require fancy language, only heartfelt words.
 Prayer is listening and responding to God as He speaks to us
through His Word.
WHAT CAN WE PRAY ABOUT?
We can have a relationship with God that allows us to talk to
Him about anything, at any time. We should pray about that
which weighs heavily on your heart, as well as the trials that we
and those around us experience. We can pray when we are
joyful and excited and grateful. Prayer must be honest and from
the heart.
 Prayer is important for several reasons:
o God commands us to pray.
o Prayer enables us to overcome sin and temptation with the aid
of the Holy Spirit.
o Prayer is a significant agent of change. Through prayer, God
moves in the world and accomplishes great things.
HOW TO PRAY:
The Bible tells us prayer involves our heart, spirit and mind. We
pray to the Father in the name and authority of Jesus through
the ministry of the Holy Spirit. As conversation is expressed in
many different ways, so prayer can be expressed in different
ways. Prayer often includes the elements of Adoration,
Confession, Thanksgiving and Supplication.
 Adoration: This is praising God with phrases like “You are
great and powerful, You are Holy and without fault”.
Confession: This is where we agree with God about our sins,
and admit our sins to Him.
Thanksgiving: It is important that we express gratitude to
God through prayer. We have so much to be thankful for, all that
we have comes from Him! Thanksgiving changes our hearts as
we pray and thank God. It helps us to focus on God’s blessings
and God’s will, rather that our own circumstances.
Supplication: This is the act of making requests of God. We
have needs in our own lives, and see needs in the lives of
others. Praying for others is often referred to as intercession.
We can ask for anything, remembering that God will give us
what He knows is best, with His timing.
Praying through Scripture: When we pray through Scripture,
we use God’s own words and speak them back to Him. We can
personalize the verse so it’s coming from our heart.
Praying with Others: We can benefit from praying with others
in many ways. It helps us to learn how to pray, God has
promised that he hears us when we gather together and agree
on prayers, and it helps us to keep a habit of prayer when we
are accountable to others.
REVERANCE FOR GOD: While God is our father and friend,
we must never forget that He is the Almighty Creator of the
world, and we must approach Him with reverence and respect.
God is holy and we can only approach Him through Jesus Christ
whose sacrifice washed away our sins.
 HOW OFTEN WE SHOUL PRAY:
There is no formula for how long one should be in prayer each
day; however, we have a Biblical example of rising early to meet CONSIDER:
with God at a special time and place. “And rising very early in Why is prayer one of the most important tools a Christian has for
the morning, while it was still dark, he (Jesus) departed and growing in their faith and bringing glory to God?
went out to a desolate place, and there he prayed” Mark 1:35. In
addition, 1 Thessalonians 4:17 encourages us to, “pray without What can you do to work on your prayer life this week? Is there more
ceasing.” In this way we can have times of focused prolonged time you would like to set e for prayer, or a prayer group you could
join?
prayer, as well as short times of prayer throughout the day when Why is it important to show reverence for God and not take the

 SPEND SOME TIME IN PRAYER RIGHT NOW: How can we show reverence for God when we pray?
Spend some time praying to God right now. You can make a list

INTRODUCTION TO INDUCTIVE BIBLE STUDY:
There are several ways to study the Bible. We can use tools such as
concordances or Bible study books which help us in our thinking. We
can also use a deductive method which starts with an idea and looks
to Scripture to confirm it. The method we will look at today allows
Scripture to speak for itself, and lets us gather evidence and
observations from the text. This is called the inductive study method.
THREE STEP INDUCTIVE STUDY METHOD:
 Observation: This involves observing the text by asking
”What does it say?”
 Interpretation: This involves interpreting the message or the
meaning of the text by asking “What does it mean?”
 Application: This involves applying the message of the passage to
your life, by asking “What does it mean to me?”

LEARNING TO INTERPRET THE BIBLE:
After we have looked at a passage of Scripture to observe
what the key details are, we are ready to interpret it. People who interpret
something from one language to another function as an interpreter. This job
requires a great understanding of both languages, but translation word for
word may not be the most effective means of communication. An interpreter
must understand the meaning of the words and give those to the intended
audience. Interpretation of the Bible requires us to find out the meaning.
 Interpretation requires asking questions:
o Why is this passage here?
o What does the author mean by it?
o How does it relate to what came before it?
Identify key words:
This may require the use of a dictionary to help you define words that are
unfamiliar. Key words are those which are important to the passage.
Sometimes you will want to examine a specific word ,especially when it may
have several meanings. Ask yourself how it has been used in other areas in
this book, how it is used in the Bible, what would make sense given the
context.
 Use other Scripture to help you interpret the passage:
o What does the immediate context (the verses around it) suggest?
o What does the broader context suggest (book, type of book)?
o What do cross-references suggest (related verses found in your Bible)?
 Make notes. List any principles that you derive from the passage.
 Check available Bible study tools: There are many study tools online.
You could provide your students with some websites, or refer them to church
libraries or other tools at their disposal.
 Write a brief summary statement that concisely captures the author’s intent
and message.
 LEARNING TO APPLY THE BIBLE:
In the application stage we take the principles we have written down, the
summary of the teaching, and apply them to our lives. We will answer the
following questions:
 How does this truth apply to my life?
 What specific changes would I like to make in my life because of this truth?
 What plan do I have for carrying out those changes?
 PRACTICING APPLICATION: Each time we are looking for an
application from a passage of scripture we should approach the passage with
prayer and consider carefully how it will affect our lives to do what the Bible
asks of us. Some ideas of applications for this passage might be:
o I must consider my thoughts to see if they are pleasing to the Lord.
o I must look at my actions to see if they are in accordance to God’s Will.
o I must be careful of what I speak for life and death is in our tongue.
o Our plans should be upon the Word of God and according to His Will.
IN SUMMARY
 Following the process of Observation, Inductive Bible Study involves
Interpretation and Application.
 Interpretation of the Bible requires us to find out the meaning.
 Interpretation may require us to examine key words, read other Scripture
that is related, make notes, refer to study tools and summarize the message.
 When we make an application for a passage, we look at how it calls us to
change our lives.
.CONSIDER:
1. Why is interpretation and application necessary in Bible study?
2. Why is it not enough to just observe what the text says?
What should you do this week in response to this passage? (Use

THE MEANING OF ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE:
Perspective is a point of view — a way of thinking about a matter. To
have an eternal perspective means to evaluate the beliefs, events,
and decisions of life from God's point of view. It means using God's
values as the measuring stick with which to evaluate every aspect of
life. It is to recognize that everything done in the present has an
eternal consequence, and should be evaluated in that light.
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS:
 TRUTH: We live our lives based on our belief systems. People act
on what they believe is true (even if their beliefs are false). Being
convinced that a specific belief system is true, does not make it so.
o Temporal view: The wisdom of the world is foolishness. If we live
with this perspective, then our measurement of what is true will be
based on the world's values rather than God's (1Corinthians 1:20-25).
o Eternal view: Living according to God's wisdom will appear to be
foolishness to the world, but it’s based on the true measure of reality
— God's eternal truth (1Corinthians 2:6-9).
WORLD VIEW:
o Temporal view: Instead of desiring the things of God, we want what
the world has to offer and hope to find satisfaction from these things.
We will then feel a part of this world (1John 2:15-17).
o Eternal view: If we are Christians, we do not belong to this world.
Therefore, we will not want to have anything to do with the world's
values (Philippians 3:20).
 PERSONAL SIGNIFICANCE:
o Temporal view: We find significance in worldly accomplishments
such as acquiring wealth, having possessions, being influential,
enjoying successful careers, and having social status (Matthew 6:19).
o Eternal view: We realize that significance comes through
understanding that we are loved by God, and through Jesus Christ we
can be personally related to Him. The only accomplishments of true,
eternal significance are those that serve to advance God's kingdom
and not our own worldly interests (Matthew 6:20-21).
BENEFITS OF AN ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE:
When we train our minds to have an eternal perspective, we consider
God’s desires and plan in all things instead of our own immediate
comforts. Because of an eternal perspective, we can understand how
much God values us, and not worry about the future because we
know God will take care of us. We don’t have to find our importance in
some false value system, and we are free from the pressures of
the world. God is renewing our inner eternal nature day by day, even
though our temporal bodies experience weakness and die. We
recognize that enduring earthly afflictions produces eternal value. We
learn to live for the true reality of the unseen kingdom of God!
DEVELOP AN ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE:
No one is born with an eternal perspective. The world in which we live
influences our thinking. We need to change the way we think from the
world's perspective to God's perspective. This involves both taking in
the truth and acting on it.
 Choose to study and meditate on God's values (Romans 12:2).
o We cannot know God's values or perspective apart from His Word. social structures, school, and workplace. What are some sources
The Bible gives an understanding of who God is, what God is like, and of temporal ideas that we should be on guard against?

o The spiritual battle takes place in our minds and it is a battleground
of ideas. We are responsible for developing the habit of continually
evaluating these ideas which bombard us. Are they our own thoughts
or from other people? Are they contrary to the teaching in God’s
word?

 Choose to seek God's kingdom first and lay up eternal treasures

(Colossians 3:1-3).
 Choose to walk by faith, not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7).
o We need to walk by faith not sight, trusting God even when we
cannot see or understand what He is doing.

IN SUMMARY
 Our perspective is our point of view, a way of thinking of a matter.
An eternal perspective means to evaluate the beliefs, events and
decisions of life from God’s point of view.
 Living with an eternal perspective is different from having a
temporal perspective. One looks at everything as it matters in the long
run, the other is consumed with the details of the here and now.
 Having an eternal perspective helps us to re-evaluate truth, our
world-view, and our personal significance.
 Eternal perspective means that we do not have to be consumed
with worry and anxiety because we trust in God and His plans.
 With an eternal perspective, we rejoice that our treasure is in
heaven, and our most important relationship with our relationship with
God which will not come to an end or decay.
 We can develop an eternal perspective by choosing to study and
meditate on God’s word, to evaluate our principles and decisions in
light of God’s Word, to choose to seek God’s kingdom first and to walk
by faith and not by sight.

CARRY:
 FOLLOWING GOD’S WILL:
To follow God’s will instead of our own, it is imperative to understand biblical
principles and to apply them in every area of our lives. We cannot know the
goodness of God or experience His will for our lives unless we are
walking in sincere and willing submission to Christ. We are individually
responsible for knowing what God wants us to do. It is not wise to plan our
lives apart from Him.
 COMMITMENT TO DO GOD’S WILL IS REQUIRED:
We cannot ask God to reveal His will and then decide whether we will obey.
We cannot genuinely seek His will in one particular area unless we are
committed to do His will in every area of our lives.
We must recognize that God's will for us is not only for our individual benefit.
It is His will that we serve others, and as we do so we come to know the
privilege, purpose, and joy that comes from it. We must submit to all authority
established by God. To fail to submit to authority in all matters, except that
which contradicts the Word of God, is to resist God Himself and hinder the
ability to understand His will in other matters.
 SCRIPTURE FOR DISCERNING GOD’S WILL: Sometimes we can
discern God’s will by understanding the Bible. The Bible provides direction
and counsel for our lives. If we have a question we want to bring before God,
we should first see if God has provided us guidance in the Bible.
 OTHER SOURCES FOR DISCERNING GOD’S WILL:
There are other ways in which God can communicate His will to us.
 Prayer: Seeking His wisdom (James 1:5-6; Philippians 4:6-7).
 The Holy Spirit: Submitting to His direction (Philippians 2:13; Acts 16:6-8).
 Spirit-Filled Christians: Weighing their counsel, God often uses the wise
counsel of mature, spirit-filled Christians to help in our decision making.
However, guard against depending exclusively on their counsel.
 Providential Circumstances: Seeing God at work. God sometimes uses
circumstances to direct us or give us insight into His will.
 Our Desires: If we are walking in the Spirit and want to obey God's will, our
desires can be a valid part of discerning His will. However, our desires
cannot be the exclusive means of determining God’s will (Romans 1:9-11).
 THE SOUND-MIND PRINCIPLE OF DISCERNING GOD’S WILL:
While most of God's will is revealed in Scripture, the Bible gives us another
principle for discerning God's will in matters not addressed by God’s direct
command. God has given us a ‘sound mind’ – a mind that can reason.
If we are putting God’s will first, and desiring what He desires we can move
forward and make decisions using our reason.
Steps to making a sound-mind decision:
o Pray for wisdom (James 1:5-6).
o Be sure you are walking in the Spirit (Ephesians 5:18).
o Determine the options in the decision.
o Search the Bible for any relevant principles and commands.
o Collect all available information and the counsel of mature believers on
each option.
 POTENTIAL MISUNDERTANDINGS IN DETERMINING GOD’S WILL:
Sometimes we desire to know God’s will but go about it the wrong way. We
can misunderstand God’s revelation of His will when we move away from
God’s word and prayer into looking for signs. If you rely on any of the
following signs, you might misunderstand God’s will. There are no short-cuts
to knowing what God would have us do.
 The open door policy: Taking the first option that presents itself. What
are some possible dangers of this approach? This is walking by sight rather
than faith. Secondly, one could walk through a counterfeit door.
 The closed-door policy: Assuming that a "closed door" means the option
is not God's will. What are some possible dangers of this approach? This is
also walking by sight and not by faith. This approach ignores the way God
builds the faith of His people and the reality of a spiritual battle.
Looking for a dramatic experience: This is walking by sight and not faith.
While the miraculous is possible, it is not an exclusive indicator of God’s will.
God's use of this is the exception rather than the rule. Seeking a dramatic
experience denies the principle of faith (Matthew 16:1-4).
 Seeking God’s Peace: Do not depend on your feelings and emotions (the
role of "God's peace").
PROPER PERSPECTIVE IN SEEKING GOD’S WILL:
Consider these principles regarding God’s will found in Scripture. They
should be encouraging to you! Write down what you learn from each of
these verses:
 We should be ready to receive God’s will for us by renewing our minds.
This involves confession of sin, being filled with the Holy Spirit and relying on
the Word of God.
 The Word of God is our first source in understanding God’s will.
 Other sources for discerning God’s will are prayer, the Holy Spirit, other
Spirit Filled Christians, Providential circumstances, and our desires.
 The sound mind principle for discerning God’s will helps us to ask specific
questions of our situation to discern the best choice.
 We must be careful not to misunderstand God’s will. Looking for dramatic
experiences or relying on our own sense of peace are not good indicators of
God’s will for us.
 We must have a proper perspective in seeking Gods will. This involves
walking in the Spirit and sincerely desiring to do what God desires.
.
.CONSIDER:
1. What decisions do your peers have to make that would require
seeking God’s will? How could you counsel them to find God’s
will?
2. What are the first things we should do as we seek God’s will?
3. What can you do to help others discover God’s will in their
lives?

What should you do this week in response to this passage? (Use

“I will …”)

END YOUR SHARING WITH PRAYER.

God does not reveal His will for us all at once. He had good plans for us.
God’s will is primarily a relationship with Him rather than a place or job. It is
also not unusual for God’s will to be in line with our desires, if we are walking
in the Spirit and growing in Christlikeness. We will undoubtedly face
difficulties in life as we seek to walk in God's will. However, we have
the absolute confidence that God causes everything to work for our good. It
is our individual responsibility to believe it and to rest in it. God wants us to
learn to walk by faith. We need to trust Him for our future.

IN SUMMARY:
 A Christians, we should desire to know God’s will. God’s will for us is good,
pleasing and perfect. It reflects His deep love for us. It results in a life of
fruitfulness, joy and glory to God.
 We must have a commitment to following God’s will and obedience before
we can understand what it is.

Disciplines. This series of lessons introduces the disciplines of a
Christian life, including prayer, Bible study, as well as fixing our mind
on eternal things. This is exciting content that should energize and
renew the spiritual life of mature Christians and propel newer
Christians into deeper faith. The material is practical in nature, yet
focused on the many spiritual rewards of a life devoted to God.
