 Questions and Answers - Matthew 6 |
| Q. What is wrong with doing good deeds in public? | A. Matthew 6:1-4 = The spirit in which doing a deed must never be to gain popularity with man.

| Q. What is the key to healing of mental and physical illness? |
A. Matthew 6:14-15 = My forgiving others. Note: If I get offended, that offense in itself is my sin. The instant I find myself taking offense to anything, I have sinned and need to ask God's forgiveness. If I hold on to unforgiveness, I put myself in physical and mental danger. I give the devil a foothold and he wreaks havoc with it. Here's a list of positive and negative consequences of this sin. Ask God to reveal any negative symptoms and ask forgiveness immediately for taking offense. Bind unforgiveness. Loose forgiveness and mercy. |

Don't get caught up in whether or not someone is deserving or not! All of us deserve Hell, yet Jesus makes us deserving of heaven, without a thought to our past. Everyone is deserving through Jesus. It's time to really learn that. As you pray, unforgiveness and all its ugly scales will fall off you and God's Word can really begin to transform you! |
| Q. Should we fast? | A. Matthew 6:16 = Yes. |
|
Note 1: Prayer deepens in fasting. We hear God clearer, we see our sins clearer, we pray longer. Even a partial fast is good practice. Don't fast just to lose weight! Fast because you want God's will done on earth as it is in Heaven. Note 2: Here are some fasts to choose from: 1. Skip your favorite meal and pray during that time. 2. Drink only liquids through part or all of the day and pray all day. 3. Skip desserts for 3 or 4 days. 4. Turn off the television for a length of time and pray during that time. 5. Turn off your computer for a time and pray. Fasting has many benefits: 1. It gives one a sense of being in control of his life. 2. The angels of God get busy answering your requests! 3. Miracles happen: healing, salvation, etc. 4. Hearts are transformed. 5. People get angelic protection from danger through your prayers. 6. World events are affected. 7. We get a real sense that God is in ultimate control of everything. 8. Our faith increases. 9. God brings to mind all the Scriptures you've been learning and expands your perspective with them. 10. Compassion increases 11. All the fruit of the Spirit increases in your life. 12. Spiritual growth happens. 13. What else can you think of? |
| Q. What did Jesus teach about how to look at things we purchase? |
A. Matthew 6:19 = 1. Focus on heaven at all times, even when purchasing something. 2. Invest in heaven on earth whenever possible. 3. No one can take heavenly things away from you. 4. Heavenly things do not deteriorate or rust. 5. No thief can steal from heaven. Note: Be careful how you spend. There are many good causes for heaven to invest in. Also, take a trip with your family and buy a memory in the process. Don't get caught up in newer, faster cars, jewelry and bigger and better everythings! You'll forget tomorrow what caught your eye today. Keep in mind that your sin nature craves these things and wages war with your spirit that craves God things. Choose God! Let your spirit win! (cf. Romans 5:12-13). |
| Q. What did Jesus teach about our eyes? |
A. Matthew 6:22-23 = They are lamps for our bodies. Note: We expose ourselves to sin through our eyes. We expose ourselves to God through our eyes too! |
| Q. This is a daily choice, what we see? | A. Matthew 6:22 = Yes. We "let" things in through our eyes and they affect our lives forever. I'd rather that God affects my life forever! |
| Q. How does evil enter in? |
A. Matthew 6:23 = We shut out the light and get plunged into darkness as a result. Note: Light is tangible; visible. Darkness is the absence of light; void. If we shut out tangible light, there is nothing but vapid void, like outer space. We don't choose to plunge—darkness is all that is left when light is gone; therefore,we plunge. This is the place of every non-believer. Evangelize everyone you know. They live in darkness. You are a light and they are drawn to that light. |
| Q. Do some folks deceive themselves about their darkness, thinking it is really light? |
A. Matthew 6:23 = Yes. It is deep darkness! Note: Unbelievers all kinds of darkness live in a state of confusion that sometimes gets an honest looksee before an evangelist. Sometimes all one needs to say is, "Have you ever asked God to reveal Himself to you?" This question brings sudden silence. Do you realize that most people have not considered that question? You can leave the question with your unbelieving friend, or else pray right there with him, asking God to reveal Himself to him. Let the kingdom of heaven draw near to him! Remember his darkness and shine! |
| Q. What does God teach about money? | A. Matthew 6:24 = It is a master. Either God is my master or money is. |
| Q. Money can be a master? | A. Matthew 6:24 = Yes. |
| Q. How can I tell if I'm letting money be my master? | A. Matthew 6:24 = When I worry about having enough money to survive, it has become my master. |
| Q. What is a proper perspective on life? | A. Matthew 6:25 = Life consists of more than just food and clothing. God is our Provider and promisses to provide. When we worry, we are ignoring His promise. |
| Q. Does God value people? | A. Matthew 6:26 = Yes. Far more than beasts! |
| Q. Why is worry stupid? |
A. Matthew 6:27 = It can't add a single moment to my life. Note: Worry wastes precious time! |
| Q. What is the truth about God's caring for our every need? |
A. Matthew 6:28-30 = 1. God is an excellent provider, caring for flowers wonderfully and people so much more. 2. God provided for Solomon 3. People have a hard time grasping God as their personal provider. |
| Q. Do godless people worry about money? | A. Matthew 6:32 = Yes. They don't know our provider God. |
| Q. What is good to remember about having enough? |
A. Matthew 6:35 = God knows what we need before we ask. Note: We need to remember to ask God to provide our daily bread. Sometimes we forget we need His daily provision. We think we have that covered! To work and toil for a living is good for us psychologically, mentally and physically. But it is God who provides. The Israelites had their land, but they relied on God to water their seeeds so that it could provide food and clothing. God blesses our efforts to be faithful to ask Him daily for everything. |
| Q. If God provides no matter what I do, how should I spend my time? What is my purpose? |
A. Matthew 6:33 = Living for God and making the kingdom of God my primary concern. Note: This is for everyone, not just pastors in the pulpit. We all must act on a full-time basis as God's people, making the Kingdom of God our primary concern. In everything I do, may God's kingdom be advanced! |
| Q. What does Jesus teach about being a worrier? | A. Matthew 6:34 = We are worse off if we keep worrying and add tomorrow's worries to today's! |
| Q. What is the truth about worry? | A. Matthew 6:34 = If we look too long at the logistics of our daily demands, we will begin to worry, because we realize that there is no way we could possibly survive on our meager wages. Being in that logistical state of mind is overwheming! But then God reminds us that He is Provider! We rest in that knowledge and go on. If we skip this part, we can lose our minds, adding tomorrow's needs to today's. I wonder how many mental patients fill our hospital wards, having come to this point in life by mere worry? Today's trouble is enough for today. Even then, we have to choose to trust God and leave our worries at the foot of the cross—to be repented of daily! Be sane! Trust God! |
