    Beth Weikel

    Beth Weikel's BiographyI’ve been the mother of two talented and godly sons of which my husband and I are grateful to God for and am the grandmother of a curious and outgoing seven year old, Ian’s son. Jonathan was nearly eight months old when a roadside IED killed his daddy during his second tour in Iraq, while doing his command with Ghost Troop.I’ve been a pastor’s wife, published writer of articles and features and editor of a Christian newsmagazine, a secondary English teacher in public school for over twenty years, a volunteer in ministry efforts and civic affairs that support healthy community. Since my retirement from full-time employment, I’ve rediscovered time to enjoy my continuing interest in art, photography, music, gardening and design. My husband and I each facilitate small group discipleship studies most of the year. In the past six years God has been my Sustainer, Rock, and Friend who has brought me through a series of losses I would have never imagined. I am a Bible student and teacher.

      Jesus, More than Enough

      "Learning to be and not to do, Savior, lead me"

      The gospels are full of Jesus’ example, a life lived flawlessly before God and men. Because we know the victorious outcome, it seems to us that He made it look almost easy. He’s God, so what’s the real problem? Jesus always knew the right thing to do.

      But the real lesson is before and after the doing. Notice the being times. In the being, Jesus gained renewed vision and strength. Without fanfare, He spent time apart in the Father’s presence, seeking His face, aligning His will. These are the silent periods the gospel writers could only outline for us. When Jesus did speak or perform His miraculous deeds, it was because of His dependence on the Father and His plan. Never in a hurry, knowing how to respond—with gentleness and mercy, insight or a well-timed rebuke, Jesus lived a life of purpose, deliberately. In humility, giving glory to the Father, He never faltered.

      Those that desire to follow Him, not just His example, will need to do the same. The aim of this study is to explore the claims Jesus made in the Gospel of John on a personal level and access the power and intention of each in order to let the Holy Spirit transform us by their truth. So as life presents itself, with all the confusion and challenges that we experience in a world of uncertainty, we can be filled with Jesus in a fresh way, addressing the need of the moment. No formulas, just the Son of God, as the Father intended. His pathways become our pathways; His power, love, and truth lived out as we single-mindedly allow the Spirit to guide us through every trial and test of character.

      How to use this study

      This study should be done each day through the week. Each I Am statement should take one week to complete, with each day taking between 15-30 min. to complete. On the first day, Ground Work, do the preview reading of the Scripture reference, study the picture and read through the prayer(s) as a devotional reading, preparing your heart to hear what the Scripture passage says. Space is provided to record your initial observations and impressions of the visual, as well as the prayer(s). The second day’s reading, Faith Walk, will include a real-life illustration of the I Am and will be followed by the reading of the entire Scripture passage. Space is provided to record your thoughts and feelings as you connect your story to the example given. On the third and fourth days, Truth Dig, work through the Bible study section designed to reveal the significance of the I Am in context and also in relation to the whole counsel of God’s Word. Give yourself the privilege of being in an intimate place with God. Take time to study, as well as listen to what the Spirit is teaching you. Finally, on day five, Now What…? complete the application portion and journal your own prayer. By this time God’s voice should be evident, as He reassures you
