Here are the scripture references for those of you who are not attending this Bible Study and also for those who are attending. These verses come from both the morning class taught by Evelyn and the evening class taught by Janice. We are children of light and not darkness. 1st Thessalonians 5:5. Also finding the truths in God’s word. Psalms 119:160.

One foundational truth of belief is that God loves. 1st John 4:9

Some verses used by either Evelyn or Janice are: Romans 12:1-2, 2nd Corinthians 10:3-5 (Bring things to mind as your read), Exodus chapters 2 and 4 (what highs and lows and responses to God), John 8: 31-32, John 8:7, John 16:33, Romans 5:3-5 (this is only possible in the truth of who God is in our lives), Matthew 5:14-16, James 5:16.

This page is not be a comprehensive study. These verses are used in the context of what is being said in the Bible studies. I believe the Spirit will teach you through these verses if you are not attending the study. Not in the context of what was being said, but the truth of what you need as you work through this book. This book will not give you answers. It will not be a fill in the blank where everyone has the same thoughts. Your life is individual. No one but you has walked your life. God knows your life and knows where you need healed. I pray you let Him heal you.

Please work through chapters 2 and 3 for next weeks study. There are some things that Elizabeth will ask you to do through these chapters. Like anything that has spiritual roots, this book will only be as effective as you allow it to be.

Ladies, As we embark on a new journey I pray you come with an open mind and not a prejudice or a preconceived idea. We are NOT doing real talk the way Elizabeth has had the leaders and others walk through this book. What we are doing is using GROOMED to help us in our relationships with other believers and non believers, open pathways of communications with your children and grandchildren, as well as helping us understand the difference between our past and how God uses it for His glory and His kingdom purpose.

We just finished Experiencing God and learning to watch where God is working and get involved. God usually uses leaders to point the way. Your pastor has been pointing this direction for over a year. “Our story His glory” has been pointing this direction. I believe God is wanting to work in our lives in a new way. A way to strengthen your relationships and help the next generation be better equipped to allow God to walk with them. Helping us to forgive our past, forgive ourselves and forgive others. A way to have real conversations with those in your inner circle. A way to rid the demons that you may or may not have known haunts you.

If you are still hesitant about attending the Bible Study, at the very least, read the book Groomed with the purpose of allowing God to heal your soul in areas that you may not have known needed healing. Then pass the book to your children and grandchildren.

One of the key verses for this study is 1st Thessalonians 5:5

Try to have the introduction and chapter 1 read before the Bible Study on either Monday morning or evening.
