I Peter 4:8 NLT Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins. 4 types of Love in the Bible Family Love Romantic Love Brotherly Love God's Divine Love Deliverance from hurt doesn't come overnight Hatred stirs up conflict, but love conquers all God's trying to correct you mindset and heart, because he wants you to see what he has for you.  You have to uproot the tree of bitterness.

Date: February 25, 2020 Massie Memorial COGIC: Bible Study Bible Study Teacher: Pastor Ronnie L. Holly Sr. Salvation brings a change. What we deal with in the world doesn't go away, but God helps us to deal with it. Isaiah 48:22 There is no peace, saith the  Lord , unto the wicked. Peace last forever for those who receive God. Jesus paid the price and its already. If you don't practice having the peace of God you won't have it. How do you practice? Study and Meditate on it Spending time with God As the storm arose as long as Peter kept his eyes on Jesus, he was at peace. In our relationship, confident comes in God It all starts with a decision that "I WILL" We don't always recognize the enemy when he comes.

Massie Memorial Bible Study February 18, 2020 Teacher: Pastor Ronnie L. Holly Sr. The Difference between "Peace I Leave" and "My Peace I Give" in John 14:27 Jesus left us peace and it can not be taken away. When we go through challenges, the Holy Spirit activates what we need at that time. The problem is that we walk in flesh so much that we don't allow the Holy Spirit to do His job. God is the only one who knows our heart.  Sometimes we hold on to things and when we do, the devil uses it as ammunition to destroy us. When God is not in the mist, there is no peace.  The things that God has left for us, it should increase in our walk. Peace, Faith, Love, etc. It only grows when we activate it. He's given it to us and what are we going to do with it. No one can do it, but you have to build your relationship with God. Student Response: We have to use peace whether we understand it or not. We have to use it. Psalm 34:1 I will bles

The Assignment of God's Peace Teacher: Pastor Ronnie L. Holly Sr. John 14:27  Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Philippians 4:7  And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Tonight's challenge for students:  Share your experience of something you went through and God's peace interrupted your storm. We tend to play hide and go seek and hide our feelings, hurt, pain, and situations.  We hide our problems on the outside and a mess on the inside.  It begins to root inside of us and get stronger. Anytime you plant something it grows and the roots gets stronger. We have to uproot  what the devil has planted. We have to take control of it!  The peace of God and his anointing comes with an assignment.

What is the assignment of God's Peace Teacher: Pastor Ronnie L. Holly Sr. John 14:27 KJV Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Summary of last week's lesson We deal with challenges daily. God has to equip and prepare us for spiritual warfare. Faith doesn't change, we do; faith does grow. How does it grow? Faith comes by hear and hearing by the word of God. (Romans 10:17) You have to exercise it and use it. Faith wants to be used, but when you begin to question God; doubt sets in. When you activate faith, it begins to grow and comes alive. Today's lesson: What is the assignment of God's peace? Peace is not just a word, it works. Philippians  4:7  And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Our flesh gets in the way and our eyes look at the circumstance and no
