Being Real is Believing Who You Are
The Great Mystery The New Birth Renewed Mind Sonship Rights Hasbrouck Heights VFW (Hasbrouck Heights, NJ) Carr, Lissy 02/16/2014 02/16/2014
This teaching is about our true identity in Christ and not believing anything less than what the Word says about us. We shouldn’t let our past hold us back from where we are now and we don’t have time to entertain anything less than the Word. We’ve been delivered and we are sons of God. We should be more convinced about what the Word says about us than what the world says about us. Where God has placed us in the Body is right. We should stand out in the world and not cover ourselves to fit in, just as Jesus Christ did not try to fit in with the world in his times. People cannot take away God’s spiritual seed that’s in you, but they can try to convince you that you are not righteous or victorious. Spend time with God to see how you fit in the body and what you can do. Do you want to please God? Believe who you are and believe what the Word says. Shine your light, don’t dim it down.
Believing the Truth
Leadership and Service Hasbrouck Heights VFW (Hasbrouck Heights, NJ) Carr, Jesse 02/16/2014 02/16/2014
This teaching is about how God designed life so He could be with His family. He ordered life so that He is able to bless, help, provide, and lead us like a good father leads his family. True Christianity is not a religion or a philosophy, it is the way of a Father with His family. When we let God do His part as a Father to meet our needs, then we are not overly burdened and are able to serve. This order for life allows us to serve God and His people, even when its not convenient. We should be able to rearrange our plans if a need pops up. As an example, this teaching looks at Jesus Christ’s taking care of God’s people after the death of John the Baptist.

2014 Northern Area Day in the Word – Without Faith It Is Impossible to Please Him
Believing Hasbrouck Heights VFW (Hasbrouck Heights, NJ) Various Teachers 02/16/2014
This was the first of two Days in the Word held in the Northern Area of New Jersey in 2014. These events consisted of an afternoon with three teachings for adults with separate children’s fellowships going on at the same time, long breaks to allow the believers to fellowship together, and then a dinner after the teachings were over. Each one centered around a biblical theme, in this case “Without Faith It Is Impossible to Please Him” taken from Hebrews 11:6.
Being Strong in Believing
Being Strong in Believing Believing Old Testament Examples Greenkill Conference Center Cinardo, Nick Carr, Jerry 06/25/2019 06/25/2019
This teaching looks at David’s attitude toward God and His Word. It looks in detail at the record of David and Goliath to understand the impact believing God’s Word can have in our lives. David trusted in God more than the five senses, and he did not allow anyone to defy the armies of the living God. We can also have this attitude of trusting God. If you can make the choice in your mind to believe God in the circumstances of your life, then you will be more than a conqueror in every situation. God provides a great opportunity to have a life that is unfathomably abundant. We just want to get to the place where we can believe God a little bit more each day. Accept the greatness of the Word, God’s grace, and God’s mercy in order to endure and overcome. Wait on God and He will strengthen your heart. There are going to be challenges when we address those things which we are afraid of in this life; we have to decide whether to fight and claim God’s Word or back down. There is nothing overwhelming for God. Even if we are in an uncomfortable or intimidating situation, God is going to be our sufficiency, strength, salvation, deliverer, and provider. We should not measure our lives by what the world says we should think. The Word of God has an answer for everything that pertains to life and godliness. We stand for God and have God in Christ in us. We can stand in the gap because we represent a great reality.
Our Attitude Towards God’s Word
God’s Way vs. the Ways of the World
Believing Greenkill Conference Center Carr, Jesse 06/25/2019 06/25/2019
God’s way works in the face of what the Adversary does in the world. Things work out when they are done God’s way. This teaching looks at a couple of examples of people getting delivered God’s way juxtaposed with a believer who tried to do things his own way. The believers in Acts didn’t make contingency plans if things didn’t work out the way they expected when they carried out God’s business. We sometimes shrink from believing for much smaller circumstances than what Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego faced. The Adversary has been luring people with comfort and “more” since the Garden of Eden. In the Old Testament, Gehazi had seen God do miracles time and time again yet he still tried to meet his own needs. We’ve also seen the impossible done by God. God is able to care for us, so we do not need to do things the world’s way. We are not defined by the riches of this world, and we should not be easily tricked. We are fully equipped by God. Let’s believe and renew our mind to doing God’s work, not men’s work.
Believing the Word, Not Facts or Sense-Knowledge
Believing Integrity of the Word Greenkill Conference Center Hanan, Patrick 06/25/2019 06/25/2019
This teaching is about believing God’s Word over the facts or sense knowledge because God’s Word has been put to the test and has come up pure every time. Nothing has been tried like God’s Word has been tried. We should prove everything according to the Word of God. If it is not of God, then throw it in the trash. The Word of God is pure gold, and we do not need to keep the mostly pure around. A record about Ahab receiving counsel is shared to demonstrate that if something contradicts the Word, even if the vast majority of people agree, then it cannot be true. The Word is more true than any circumstances we have been in or will be in. Nothing shall be impossible with God so don’t let the devil tell you what is possible. Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego are shown as examples of people who walked with God even when they faced certain death. God comes through even if the facts get worse because the Word stays pure. We find out what we’re made of when the heat gets turned up. If what we believe is God’s Word, then it is going to be found pure.
