Review Back to Basics!
John 14:6
Jesus answered, "I am the
way and the truth and the
life. No-one comes to the
Father except through me.
John 14:7
If you really knew me, you would
know my Father as well. From
now on, you do know Him and
have seen Him.
The Truth
John 8:32
Then you will know the truth, and
the truth will set you free.
John 8:36
So if the Son sets you free, you will
be free indeed.
Lied to and imprisoned
John 8:44-45
You belong to your father, the devil, and
you want to carry out your father's
desire. He was a murderer from the
beginning, not holding to the truth, for
there is no truth in him. When he lies, he
speaks his native language, for he is a
liar and the father of lies. Yet because I
tell the truth, you do not believe me!
So who do you believe?
Let’s be honest!
John 8:32
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will
set you free.
Are you living in obedience to the truth He
has shown you? Are you living FREE?
Romans 12:2
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this
world, but be transformed by the renewing of
your mind. Then you will be able to test and
approve what God's will is; his good, pleasing
and perfect will.

Do not be anxious about
anything,
but in everything, by prayer and
petition, with thanksgiving,
present your requests to God.
And the peace of God, which
transcends all understanding, will
guard your hearts and your minds
in Christ Jesus.
Listen to Him!
2 Timothy 1:12b
…. because I know whom I have believed, and
am convinced that He is able to guard what I
have entrusted to Him for that day.
Romans 8:38-39
For I am convinced that neither death nor life,
neither angels nor demons, neither the present
nor the future, nor any powers, neither height
nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will
be able to separate us from the love of God that
is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Be certain who you are listening to
Prepare yourself to be in His presence
Exodus 30:19-20
Aaron and his sons are to wash their
hands and feet with water from it.
Whenever they enter the Tent of
Meeting, they shall wash with water so
that they will not die.
Exodus 33:7-11
Now Moses used to take a tent and pitch it outside the
camp some distance away, calling it the "tent of
meeting". Anyone enquiring of the Lord would go to the
tent of meeting outside the camp. And whenever Moses
went out to the tent, all the people rose and stood at the
entrances to their tents, watching Moses until he entered
the tent. As Moses went into the tent, the pillar of cloud
would come down and stay at the entrance, while the
Lord spoke with Moses. Whenever the people saw the
pillar of cloud standing at the entrance to the tent, they
all stood and worshipped, each at the entrance to his
tent. The Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as a
man speaks with his friend. Then Moses would return to
the camp, but his young assistant Joshua son of Nun did
not leave the tent.
There is a Price (very costly)
Exodus 35:21-22
and everyone who was willing and whose heart moved
him came and brought an offering to the Lord for the
work on the Tent of Meeting, for all its service, and for
the sacred garments. All who were willing, men and
women alike, came and brought gold jewellery of all
kinds: brooches, ear-rings, rings and ornaments. They all
presented their gold as a wave offering to the Lord.
Exodus 35:29
All the Israelite men and women who were willing
brought to the Lord freewill offerings for all the work the
Lord through Moses had commanded them to do.
Are you willing?
Wait for Him
Be Patient
Exodus 34:28-29
Moses was there with the Lord forty days and
forty nights without eating bread or drinking
water. And he wrote on the tablets the words of
the covenant–the Ten Commandments. When
Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the
two tablets of the Testimony in his hands, he
was not aware that his face was radiant because
he had spoken with the Lord.
Ps 25:3 Indeed, none of those who wait for You
will be ashamed
Ps 25:5 Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For
You are the God of my salvation; For You I wait
all the day.
Ps 27:14 Wait for the LORD; Be strong and let
your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the LORD.
Ps 62:5 My soul, wait in silence for God only,
For my hope is from Him
Ps 119:81 My soul languishes for Your salvation;
I wait for Your word.
Ps 147:11 The LORD favors those who fear
Him, Those who wait for His loving-kindness.
A choice
Psalm 106:12-14
Then they believed his promises and sang his
praise. But they soon forgot what he had done
and did not wait for his counsel. In the desert
they gave in to their craving; in the wasteland
they put God to the test.
Isaiah 40:30-31
Even youths grow tired and weary, and young
men stumble and fall; but those who wait for the
Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on
wings like eagles; they will run and not grow
weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Walk in the flesh or Spirit
Practice His Presence
John 4:24 - God is spirit, and his worshippers
must worship in spirit and in truth.
Rom 8:5-6 - For those who are according to the
flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh,
but those who are according to the Spirit, the
things of the Spirit. For the mind set on the flesh
is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and
peace,
Gal 5:24-25 - Now those who belong to Christ
Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions
and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also
walk by the Spirit.
To sum up!
Do you listen to what He says?
Will you wait for His word?
Will you believe what He says?
Will you be obedient?
1 Sam 15:22b ….Behold, to obey is better
than sacrifice and to heed than the fat of
rams.
Numbers 6:24-26
"The Lord bless you and keep
you; the Lord make his face
shine upon you and be gracious
to you; the Lord turn his face
towards you and give you
peace."
