Part4. (The Pattern Prayer) In this episode we take up the “pattern prayer” in the gospel of Matthew 6:8-13. It’s couched between a lot of teaching, in chapter five Jesus spoke about the human heart, about external appearances and internal heart attitudes by which we will be judged. We will continue to focus on the priority of Jesus in that prayer “… Your Kingdom come … “ If you are enjoying these studies or have questions, contact us at contact@aboutface180.net
Part3. (The Pattern Prayer) Having looked at the Fatherhood of God to all believers and the unity it should bring to the Body of Christ. In this third part we delve into the priorities of Jesus in prayer for the Kingdom of God to come into this world.

Part2. (The Pattern Prayer) In this episode we look at the unity that God the Father intends for all who are called His children in the opening words of this pray … “Our Father”. He certainly does not respond to prayer when there is disunity in the Body of Christ. How do we maintain unity in the bond of peace and pray for the Will of our Father to be done.
Part1. (The Pattern Prayer) In this new subject we look into the “Pattern Prayer” of Luke chapter 11 and verses 1 - 4. In the next few episodes we will examine this prayer of principles that cover every aspect of our lives when we apply it; to our spiritual life, temporal life, our life in relation to Christ’s Second Coming and eternity with God
Part3. (When Gay Turns To Grey) In this concluding part we take a closer look at the “Defiance of Man” which causes him to go any way but God’s. Examining the consequences associated with that defiance which is clear in the Old Testament and further explained in the New Testament (Romans 1:26-32) In the First Book of Corinthians chapter six and verses 9 - 11 Paul describes how the Power of God in Christ is able to save and to free the most defiant of people.

Part2. (When Gay Turns To Grey) Throughout the pages of Scripture God continually talks about the worth of a human soul and because of that every Christian should value every person they meet. It doesn’t matter if they agree with you or are totally apposed, they are of worth, because God offers redemption to them. In this episode we consider Jesus’s word’s … “ In the beginning it was not so …” when He was questioned by the Pharisees in Matthew chapter 19 (v8) Jesus explains how in the beginning ...
Part1. (When Gay Turns To Grey) These next lot of Bible studies will focus on the disarray of the present world, highlighting how far removed mankind is from the foundational revelation of God, who He is and and what He has decreed. This Gospel which the Scriptures describes and Christians humbly declare is not a Gospel of condemnation, but of revelation, redemption, forgiveness, mercy and power to change human hearts.
Part3. (The Restoration of all Things) In this last episode we look at certain behaviours socially and events throughout this ‘world’s system’ that the Bible points to as markers that indicate the sudden intervention of God. One evident marker is, the persistent increase of totalitarian power, until the Antichrist is manifest. The Apostle Peter in his second Epistle in chapter three describes these events and attitudes. Tony gives a short introduction to the next subject which is also a persiste...
Just Two Friends, an informal chat about the current study “The Restoration of all Things” and introduction to the coming study … “When Gay turns to Grey” … we hope you enjoy the informal talk. Let us know your thoughts, we would love to hear from you, either in the Q&A or contact us at contact@aboutface180.net
Part2. (The Restoration of all Things) Looking at the chaos of coming events which will precede the great Day of Christ’s appearing to take all believers and His coming to the the earth to establish His Rule. Following the outline of events Jesus foretold in Luke 21:20-27, from the destruction of Jerusalem (in AD70 by the Roman general Titus) to the disbursement of the Jewish people to the four corners of the world, also the relentless persecution suffered wherever they fled. Looking at modern h...
Part1. (The Restoration of all Things) In this new study we explore God directed history, current and future evens that will bring about the ‘climax of the ages’. Part one we look at the disciples’ and more broadly Israel’s understanding of the restoration of the Kingdom. Does the Christian Church have a proper Bible based understanding of these events? … If so how should it shape our thinking and the way we live.
In this longer than usual episode Tony and Abilio (Just 2 Friends) informally talk about the practical implications of the last study ‘Israel, Loved in Heaven, Hated in Hell’.
Part10. (Israel, Loved in Heaven, Hated in Hell) In conclusion, this last episode we discuss how Christians should have a general understanding of end time events, so as to be able to give an answer to those who ask. But there are very few Christians today who know fully, confidently and Biblically what part Israel is playing at this present time. We examine the final restoration of Israel according to God’s purpose.
Part9. (Israel, Loved in Heaven, Hated in Hell) The apostle Paul talks in Romans 15:27 how the Gentiles in Christ are debtors to Israel because they are partaker’s of Israel’s spiritual things and therefore the Church should minister to Israel in material things. Also the Church should be praying for the peace of Jerusalem and declaring to Israel the message of the prophets, that Her Messiah is coming and to be prepared. Isaiah 26:1 the prophet speaks of a day coming, “In that day …” when there ...
Part8. (Israel, Loved in Heaven, Hated in Hell) As we further pursue the principle of, “whatever God loves, satan hates and seeks to destroy. In Luke chapter 19 we see Jesus entering Jerusalem and all the people welcoming Him as King, (vs 41-44) but Jesus weeps over the city because they did not recognise the proper time of the Coming of The Lord. John 1:10 is a concise description of theses events, Israel’s rejection of Him and the curse that comes upon the nation. Jesus knowing all the devasta...
Part7. (Israel, Loved in Heaven, Hated in Hell) This episode highlights the accuracy of the Bible and how relevant it is to the current world situation, and that is Israel being the focal point of the Nations. Zechariah chapter 12 and verse 3 describes Jerusalem as being a burdensome stone to all the Nations that have confederated in a united intention to “deal with it”. We see throughout Israel’s history how the intentions of man (the Nations) bring about the interventions of God. Examination o...
Part6. (Israel, Loved in Heaven, Hated in Hell) In the last episode we looked at that ominous Scripture in Deuteronomy 28:64 that God was going to scatter Israel for their disobedience. In this study we focus on the In gathering of Israel as proclaimed by Jeremiah in chapter 31 and verse 10. Throughout Israel’s history there has been much trauma, but God will always bring about triumph in accordance to His plan and will.
Part5. (Israel, Loved in Heaven, Hated in Hell) In this episode we touch on the uniqueness of Israel wherever she is either in Her Land or disbursed throughout the Nations in captivity. God’s plan for Israel is that Israel will be a sigh pointing towards His fulfilling the Promise to the World for Salvation through Jesus the Messiah.
Part4. (Israel, Loved in Heaven, Hated in Hell) Israel’s purpose was to bring the Messiah and in preparation of that event was also to influence the Nations around about towards God, that they might be saved. Throughout Israel’s history we read how many times the Nation has turned away from God and His purposes and so many times the Devil has sought to destroy Israel. We find this depiction in the 12th chapter of the Revelation. The Church is not exempt from comprise and the opposition of Satan....
Part3. (Israel, Loved in Heaven, Hated in Hell) This episode we are focusing on Israel’s calling and God’s prophetic dealing with Israel at this present time in order to perform the many promises spoken to the Nation.
Part2. (Israel, Loved in Heaven, Hated in Hell) In this episode we take a closer look at the origins of Lucifer’s fall and rebellion as described in Isaiah 14:12-15 and also in Revelation 12:1-6. Satan’s main tactic is to refute the authority of God, to cause all those that listen to him to doubt God’s integrity and right to rule sovereignty. He (Satan) knowing that God will ultimately have His way, will try to forestall his own judgement by polluting the work of God in Israel and the Church. Be...
Part1. (Israel, Loved in Heaven, Hated in Hell) In this new study which we’ll delve into over the course of five or more episodes, we examine the Scriptures to understand the uniqueness of Israel. There is so much controversy and miss understanding regarding the People and the Land. The one pervading truth in the Scriptures is that … what God loves and chooses the Devil will do all he can to defile.
Part6. (Revival Now - The Glory) In this final part we look at the practical and spiritual experience of having the Glory of God manifest to us, having the Spirit of God come to us to open the eyes of our understanding. Before we can experience deep and abiding fellowship in the sanctuary of hearts with the Living God, there must be preparation. In Leviticus we see an Old Testament principle of preparation before the Glory of God is manifest. (Leviticus 9;1-7, Acts 1;8, Acts Chp 2.) We hope you ...
Part5. (Revival Now - The Glory) In this episode we continue to search the Scriptures for principles that govern that manifestation of God’s presence and glory in our own lives and in the Church. But we also want an awakening in our Land and in the Nations of the Earth … we want to see God glorified! We begin by looking at Moses starting in Exodus chapter 33, we examine his hunger for God and his desire to see God’s Glory. (Other references; Isaiah Chp 6, Ezekiel Chp 1, John Chp 14)...
Part4. (Revival Now) To have revival there must be restoration. In chapter two of Nehemiah we see how God brings about circumstances after Nehemiah’s prayer of confession and for restoration, to bring his request before then King. Having his request granted Nehemiah begins to fulfill the priorities of God only to find conflict and discouragement by the enemies of Israel that will resist the building and restoration of the walls of Jerusalem. In this episode we reflect on the principles used by N...
Part3. (Revival Now) Often in the Psalms the writer asks of God to revive him, we can have personal revival when we draw near and “seek God while He maybe found …” Revival is different and yet their are links between an awakening and revival. An awakening is when a Nation or a region of people are suddenly quickened by the Spirit of God, this is a sovereign act of God. Sometimes it happens without any intersession or preparation from man. In this episode we again look at Nehemiah, his prayer and...
Part2. (Revival Now) In this episode we look at how Satan breaks down boundaries (that are meant to safeguard us) so as to enter and further destroy and attempt to make void the work of God. The primary methods he uses are, compromise and contamination. Let’s further explore those things that stifle revival by reading Nehemiah chapters 1-3. This episode concludes the current study on Revival Now. We hope you have found this study helpful, let us know your thoughts by contacting us at contact@abo...
Part1. (Revival Now) In this episode we are going to look into a subject which is wide and diverse and many Christians have different thoughts and ideas about it. We will be talking about REVIVAL, to some it brings to mind great meetings of vast crowds, to others miraculous events, and so on. The very idea of revival in a Christian context means bringing back to life something that was dead or near to dying. In Psalm 61 we see how David calls to God in an overwhelmed state because the enemy has ...
Part4. (Prayers from a pigpen) In conclusion to this study we consider what most people would regard as respectable. Yet when examined under the lens of Scripture we realise that it would be the worst of all “pigpens” and that is … self righteousness, trying to fulfill the demands of The Law in the flesh. Jesus had much say about it in parables and Paul the Apostle describes it in himself prior to knowing Christ. Let’s examine this aspect of the “pigpen” which human nature is all too willing to ...
