Seek God: NOT Things! Session 2 Parts 1: B - Goal of Teaching & 1C - How Goal Will Be Accomplished

[Dr. Dorothy E. Hooks, PsyD]

I. About Teaching:

B. Goal of Teaching – Session 2 – The goal of this teaching is to give you the Tools from the Word of God (Scriptures), to help you WALK in TOTAL VICTORY, EVERYDAY! These Tools WILL show you how to:

*Help you not worry but put God FIRST, THEN He WILL give you what you NEED (Matthew 6:25-34).

*Help you not be afraid or let your heart be troubled but to believe in God and trust Him (John 14:1,27), so that the peace Jesus left you (His personal peace), WILL calm you, as it did Him, in EVERY circumstance and give you courage and strength in EVERY challenge.

 *Help you not be anxious or worried about anything but to pray to God about EVERYTHING (Philippians 4:6-7). Once you do that, then Jesus’ peace from John 14:27, the peace of God, that assures the heart, transcends ALL understanding, WILL stand guard over your heart and mind.

*Help you humble yourselves under God’s mighty hand, so He can exalt you in His time. Then once you humble yourself to God, you will be able to cast ALL your cares (ALL concerns, ALL worries, and ALL anxieties) on God, because He cares for you (1 Peter 5:6-7). God loves you very much – the love God has for you cannot be measured!

I. About Teaching:

C. How Goal Will Be Accomplished – Session 2 – To accomplish the goal of this teaching, I will:

*Examine some specific Scriptures in detail – Matthew 6:25-34; Matthew 17:20; John 14:1,27; Philippians 4:6-7; 1 Peter 5:6-7.

*Define & Explain – Little faith, living faith, and dead faith.

*Define & Explain – “Two Kinds of Peace” in New Testament

-Objective Peace – Has to do with our relationship to God (factual peace; based on facts).

-Subjective Peace – Has to do with our life experiences (experimental peace; based on feelings).

*Give you a model prayer, using the main Scriptures of this teaching.
