Key Word of the Bible Study: Disarm
We all need encouragement. We all get it from God, the Holy Spirit and Jesus. We get it from each other too. Some Christians or born- again believers are encouragers but some are not. It depends on the person's spiritual level.

Christians or born-again believers who do not encourage or do not get encouragement are “at risk” because that can lead to disarming and discouragement. Read 2 Corinthians 13:5-6
“Disarm” is removing obstacles or barriers. It also means to make something weaker or to stop something. For example, in the army, there are people who disarm bombs to prevent it from going off. There are different tools used to disarm bombs as we have different tools in our “toolbox” for our spiritual life and our relationship with God.
Question to the Audience: Who disarms your spirit?
Audience Answered: Yourself
Satan works hard to disarm you with temptations and sins but you have to be armed at all times.

The question: How can you disarm yourselves? The answer is in The Bible. It tells you how in verses Galatians 5:19-21. Those things mentioned in Galatians cause your spirit to become weak. It is as if Satan is using a screwdriver or a measuring tape to disarm your sprit.
Some people ask: Where is Jesus? Why is He not with me? But why do you ask those questions. He is already in you but you have chosen to look away and drift from Him. By doing this, you disarm yourself. Satan uses sin to draw you away from God. Satan does that to prevent you from having a relationship with God. When your spirit is frozen, you become disarmed.
Read: Galatians 5: 22-23
When you get on your knees, confess your sins and ask for forgiveness, God forgives your mistakes. He gives forgiveness freely and you will become armed again. Your spirit will develop fruits as you continue to grow in your relationship with God. The nine fruit of the spirit are mentioned in verses 22-23. They help you stay armed.
In your toolbox, you have many tools but you may struggle with those tools, trying to fix something in your life. It is a battle. But if the Holy Bible is in your toolbox, the Devil flees. You can’t just have or hold the bible! You must open it, read it, study and memorize it. You must follow His Word. Go to bible study; go to worship or whatever is available for you to study God’s Word.
Read: 1 John 1:8-10 And 1 Corinthians 9:24
Without God’s Word, you are lost. There is no direction or guidance without God.
People who are disarmed tends to be alone, with their own thoughts and emotions. The devil will use his tools to destroy your spirit. What do you do? Don't disarm yourself and be alone. If you know u are becoming disarmed, turn to God and tell Him that you need him. Ask him to send you the right helpers. Or Run to your brothers and sisters in Christ and get help. You have help in your church daily. You have helpers who are your brothers and sisters in Christ. Go to someone. Why do u think you can do it without God? Why do you think you can do it on your own? People can encourage each other but they cannot save you. You must turn to God and to His Word first then get help.
Ask God to send you help and he will take your life and lead you.
Read: Matthew 22:37-40
Mark 12: 28-32
Deut 6:4-7
You must love the Lord your God first in all 4 areas: heart, mind, soul n strength. Then, you must love others as you love yourself. If you are disarmed and do not love yourself but act happy or loving to others, your spiritual life will weaken. You must follow God first! You must follow His Word. You must use His tools. You cannot do it by yourself. You cannot save yourself or others. It is only God who can do it but he sends helpers to serve others for Him. When you are called to help others, use the Bible and what it teaches. Do not use your own experiences, feelings or knowledge. Practice God’s tools: love, patience, kindness and the other fruits of the spirit.

When u procrastinate with your sins, you brig wrath on yourself. If you choose not to follow the two commandments, you will be immature in your spirit.. Stop. Become true and follow God’s Word. Help each other. Encourage each other. Stay armed.
Closing Verse: Hebrew 10:25
Coming to God’s House is important because you learn God’s Word and have fellowship with each other. It is in God’s House and in fellowship that you can give and get support here. Don't give up coming to God’s house. Don’t become disarmed.
