Fifteen weeks ago I thought I was close to God, but now I realize that I had slipped into a comfortable and complacent state.

Today I have just begun developing spiritual disciplines that I want to see grow for the rest of my life. ONE on ONE with GOD has opened my eyes and shown me that there is so much more we can do to develop our relationship with God. I look forward to continuing my progression with God and my chance to lead a group through this study.

Fifteen weeks ago I was not a very strong Christian.

I had fallen away from God and wanted to become closer to Him. I felt that ONE on ONE with GOD would be the tool I needed, and it was. My husband became a Christian the first night of ONE on ONE, and that really made it easier for me to get stronger (it’s hard to be close to God when your husband isn’t). So fifteen weeks ago God found me coming back to Him.

Now I know I have found Him. He never left! I was the one who wandered. I feel that God finds me closer to Him than I’ve ever been. I feel like He’s my best friend, and I am His. I feel like I know Him a lot better than I did fifteen weeks ago.

Fifteen weeks ago God found me struggling to be consistent in the basics of my walk with Him.

I had lost the desire and wasn’t seeing the benefit.

Today I have a new perspective not only on who God is but also on how much He desires my fellowship. I see His Word as a source for really getting to know Him. I have a renewed desire to meet with Jesus for fellowship and for instruction and wisdom. I realize more than ever that God is in total control of my life and that I can trust Him in every situation. I also realize that my renewed fellowship with Jesus is not to be taken for granted but requires my faithfulness, discipline, and a determined purpose.

Fifteen weeks ago I was having trouble being consistent in reading God’s Word.

I also did not have an awareness of His Holy Spirit within me. After finishing ONE on ONE with GOD I have a better understanding and awareness of the presence of God. I desire to read His Word. I sense a personal fellowship with God and have a great desire to please Him.

M.H.

Fifteen weeks ago God found me without a definite plan to help someone else start his or her life in a Bible study that will center on Jesus and God’s Word.

But I now know a plan that will work for anyone who will work it. Š—“For my determined purpose is to know HimŠ— and to help others to do the same.

Fifteen weeks ago I was trying to grow as a mature Christian, but I wasn’t thinking that I could have a close relationship with God.

Today I can feel God’s presence in my life, and it has helped me grow as a Christian.

D.R.

Fifteen weeks ago I had a sincere desire to read and study God’s Word, but I had no method or design.

I knew God through what others told me and through experiences in my life.

Now I have a sincere desire to read, study, and memorize His Word so that I can use it every day in my life to be able to share with others the promises and principles of God’s Word. I know who God is more clearly through His Word, and I realize that He desires my attention and relationship with Him. I anticipate what God is going to do in the future.

Fifteen weeks ago I was ugly, without knowledge, and unwilling.

But after finishing ONE on ONE with GOD, I am more attractive, learning more about Him and willing to share.

Tim

Fifteen weeks ago I was regularly attending church, but that was it.

My relationship with the Lord wasn’t growing. Today I am regularly reading God’s Word, and the Lord is blessing me with truth and instruction. I am memorizing and meditating on scripture. I am focusing on Jesus and concentrating on keeping Him on the throne of my heart. I’ve also experienced more joy in the past fifteen weeks than I have in a long time. ONE on ONE has really showed me how to develop a relationship with the Lord.

H.M.

God found me fifteen weeks ago wanting to know more about Him and His plan for how I can reach others and be a strong witness.

. Through each week of ONE on ONE with GOD I have learned what I should be doing and how I should do it. With God’s help, all that I will do will glorify Him. After fifteen weeks I realize I should have been doing what I wasn’t doing for God. Now through this study I am more aware of what He wants me to do. I am eager to continue and be a strong witness for Him or whatever He wants me to do.

Fifteen weeks ago I was frustrated in my walk with Christ.

I was very active in church and was doing many things that would be considered good. But I didn’t have any real joy or peace in my life. I was just busy. I know now that what was missing was a consistent, intimate fellowship with Jesus. I was not spending daily time in His Word or prayer. I was tossed back and forth by my circumstances.

These past few weeks I have realized how much I need to fellowship with Jesus and what a difference that has made in my priorities and my outlook! I have a long way to go, but I am excited about what I’m seeing God do in my life. The desire of my heart is to progressively know Him.

ONE on ONE with GOD has really helped our spiritual walk.

Thank you for your love and obedience to the Lord.

Mike and Pat B.

Fifteen weeks ago I was not reading my Bible regularly, and I was not being very kind to people.

Today, after finishing ONE on ONE with GOD, I find myself being kinder to and more interested in others. I am more interested in spiritual things and am looking forward to learning more.

L.F.

Fifteen weeks ago when I started ONE on ONE with GOD, I thought I was such a good Christian!

In fact, I did not feel like I needed something like that. My wonderful wife had to push me (she had already taken the class a few years ago and started again with me this time), and I was curious to see why she wanted to go through a class she had taken before. I thought that, being baptized, going to church on Sunday for almost 30 years, not stealing and not committing murder or adultery were making me a wise, good, and strong Christian.

Boy, was I wrong! I was a poor Christian, but now, thanks to the Lord’s Word and a wonderful teacher, I realize that I need to try harder and harder every day. I am so thankful for Jesus’ love for me, and I am so anxious to know Him even more and become like Him. Thank You, Lord, for Your love for me!

B.R.

I came into ONE on ONE with GOD expecting to learn some things and to enjoy some fellowship over the Word of God. I suppose that God knew I needed a little direction in my life.

After finishing the course, I find that now I am walking closer to Christ and God is blessing me. I am more sensitive to sin in my life. I am more disciplined in my walk. Also, God is answering prayers in my lifeŠ—”even minor ones. I thank God for the class and the things the Lord has taught me through it.

Terry K.

ONE on ONE with GOD was such a big step in my lifeŠ—”to learn to know the Lord unlike I’ve ever known Him.

I feel like He is so much more like a Father to me than ever before because I have realized I’ve wanted it and wanted to know Him. I have come a long way but know there is so much farther to go.

This study has been so enriching in my life. Our group has bonded together in the Lord’s love and grown together. Our leader has molded the group and guided us so carefully so we could learn as much as we were willing and at a pace that felt most comfortable for us. We are all anxious to keep on studying the Bible and will go on to other studies created for it.

ONE on ONE with GOD enriched the lives of my husband and me and our relationship with the Lord.

We want to share with others the blessings we have received.

Fifteen weeks ago God found me asking many questions about His Word.

During these weeks of ONE on ONE, I have searched His Word and found many principles and methods that I never knew. God has given me a desire to read His Word and be more yielding and abiding to Him. I never knew how great and wonderful His Word can be. His promises are never ending and His love unceasing.

The devil never gave me much trouble because I was not that much trouble to him. But over the weeks, God has made me a problem for him!
