INTRODUCTION
G reetings to those who are called of God and to His church: grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. In Pro. 5: 21 it says, " For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and he pondereth all of his goings. " The Lord sees you when you go forward or backward or to the left or right: you can run but you can’t hide. As much as I would like to hide, God won’t let me. You see my biggest desire is that it would be Him, not me, in everything you see, feel, and hear in this entire book from cover to cover. In order for you to understand why the Lord would have anything to do with me in the first place concerning this book, I have to tell you a little bit about me. I don’t like it any more than you do, so here goes…
In Pro. 5: 23 it says, He shall die without instruction: and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
God’s word is talking about you and me here: without the right instruction we shall die. When I first came to the Lord, I was blessed immediately with someone giving me a bible. You see some people when they first get saved they have a lot of questions and no answers. Many don’t own or have a bible, or church to go to; let alone anyone to communicate and have fellowship with. I was right there with the best of them until someone gave me my first bible. With time I found out that all the answers to my questions were in God’s Word. In the beginning on this journey with the Lord, I had asked Him if there was a self-teaching how to book that anyone can read and grow up to be who He wanted them to be. When I read Jn. 15: 5 it said, "For without Me ye can do nothing." I knew right then and there, it was Him that I needed to instruct me, not man. For more than ten years God blessed me with His instructions. In doing so, I did something that most people wouldn’t even think of doing.
As I was being instructed by Him, I took notes. Like when certain scriptures jumped out of the page at me, or when the Lord answered a question I had with His Word. The more I read and heard His Word, the more I wanted to know, learn and understand about Him and His promises. So when the Lord had me doing bible studies or preaching to the congregation, I would not do it unless it was Him, not me. So I used the notes that I took with God’s in-structions that He gave me and something incredible happened…
You see not only did God’s instructions change the way I was in everything I said and did, but it also changed everyone He had me minister His instructions to. Can you picture what it’s like for someone to hear the truth for the first time? After a bible study one night, I saw someone come right out of their wheelchair and walk out to a vehicle. Without anyone praying for that person. By just being there and hearing what God gave me in His instructions? This was the very thing that this person needed to change and turn their life around. I started seeing changes in everyone, and their growth was miraculous.
They went from talking the walk or saying one thing and doing something else. To walking the talk or did everything they said they would. He gave me the desires of my heart, and showed me that it was Him and not me: for truly I can do nothing without Him. My thirst and hunger for His instructions grew more and more and He revealed unto me, the mysteries of His word in ways I’ve never seen or heard taught anywhere. If you have a real hunger or thirst for Gods instructions and are serious about it, then this book is a must for you. My desire now, is to get these same instructions to you and see how God blesses you.
God bless you two folds

HOW TO USE THIS BOOK
Cover Letter
God’s Instructions From
Walk The Talk Ministries
G ood morning. Grace be to you and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. In Act. 10: 34 it says, " God is no respecter of persons:" It doesn’t matter if you are male or female, big or little, black or white, foreign or domestic, what’s important is your thirst and hunger for God’s instructions, and you have taken the first step. Jesus said it best when He told His disciples, " The word ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me. " (Jn. 14: 24)
God woke me up in the middle of the night so you can get this message hot off the press. I know without any doubt whatsoever God has done for me and still is, He can do for you. These instructions that God gave me are written in a way to help you grow and walk with the Lord. In Pro. 8: 33-34 it says, You need to hear God’s instructions to be wise and blessed. This means when you are reading these instructions you also need to hear them. This will make all the difference in the world in your personal relationship with God.
The more you do it the more you will not want to do without it. If you put God first, He will put you first. When you read this letter and all of God’s instructions out loud, try to be all alone by yourself, because the devil will use anything and anybody to steal God’s instructions away from you. Just like when you plant a seed in the ground you have to allow enough time for it to do its part before it can grow and manifest itself. There is something you must do before you are blessed like I was with these instructions and that is, you must ask the Lord to open your eyes, ears, and understanding, before you go any further with this letter and God’s instructions.
In Jas. 4: 2 it says, "Ye have not, because ye ask not." If you don’t ask, He does not have to do it. I certainly can’t do it for you. The bottom line is how serious are you in having a personal relationship with hearing and seeing Him? Whenever the Lord uses me to do a Bible study or to preach from His pulpit, He has me prepare His people to receive His instructions. He’s telling me right now to prepare you in the same manner. If you’re reading this letter just to hear me, you’re wasting your time and God’s. But if you are reading and hearing God’s instructions to see and hear what God wants to tell and show you, then God will knock your socks off!
In Gal. 6: 7 God’s word says, "For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." In other words, you need to give something to receive something from the Lord when reading and hearing these lessons prepared for you. Each lesson is like a complete meal. You have your appetizers, your soup, your salad, your main course, and your dessert. But some people just go for the appetizers or the dessert not taking the time they should for the main course. Many go to the Lord in different ways, like prayer or going to church. But most have one thing in common; they come to the Lord with their needs and wants. God has needs and wants also. What I am trying to say is, many times without realizing it, we limit God in the way we receive answers to our prayers, needs and wants because we don’t take the time to see and hear what it is He’s trying to tell and show us. I tell people if they came to see and hear me they’re in the wrong place. God knows all your needs and wants, even before you do.
If you want to have a personal relationship with the Lord, you need to be able to give and to receive. When you read and hear each lesson, leave all of your troubles, problems, fears, needs and wants outside the room you’re in. I’ll guarantee they’ll be waiting for you when you come out. Each time I hear and see God’s instructions I get more and more from Him that I can apply and use each and every day. For me it is very exciting when God has me share His instructions with others.
Like in an open Bible study where the Holy Spirit moves miraculously, manifesting Himself in many different ways through others in the room. If we go to the Lord with me, myself and I, where does God fit in? I’m not saying everyone is like this but many don’t know any better limiting answers to their prayers, needs and wants. If you don’t let God get His 10%, how are you ever going to get your 90%? For some of you there may be a lot of things you already know written in these lessons. You should take the time to see and hear those things you don’t know.
Take a sheet of paper and take notes on what God is trying to show and tell you. Always use notes because you never know when God may want to knock some socks off using what He gave you some time down the road. I’m just an anointed vessel of the Lord, used of God, and I may have a funny way of saying and doing things. That is why it is so important for you to make and use your own notes. There are many things I cannot do very well, such as spelling and writing. You can see where this could be a major problem for me especially in writing this letter and all of God’s Instructions to you.
When Moses needed help God sent Aaron to help him. When I needed help, the Lord sent Brother Edwards to help me. He had a special gift from God; he could spell really well and knew a lot about punctuation marks, and all about writing letters. Not only did God bless Brother Edwards by increasing his ability in spelling and writing, God also increased mine. (A two-edged sword.)
By the time Brother Edwards had finished helping me with four lessons and two cover letters, he came to me and said, It was scary at first.
Because he was hearing the Lord speak to him, telling him things to come and confirming His Word. That’s when I got excited, because God was manifesting Himself through others with the use of this cover letter and lessons. (Answer to prayer.)
I have devoted an entire page at the end of each lesson for any additional notes you may have. This way every time you read and hear these instructions you will get more out of them. As you read and hear these lessons, see if you can find what was said, or read that made it possible for someone to hear God’s voice. See if anything you read and hear makes a difference in your life? If you use what God gives you, He will give you more.
As you hear and see His instructions and start using and applying them each and every day in your walk with God your life will never be the same. Amen…
I love you in the lord always.
Brother Roland
SECTION TWO:
GOD’S
INSTRUCTIONS
FROM
WALK THE TALK MINISTRIES
Lesson 31
WORDS OF ETERNAL LIFE:
M ARK 7: 9-13 " And He said unto them, Full will ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. For Moses said, Honor thy father and mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death: But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free. And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye. "
2878 Corban = A consecrated present to the temple fund; which was located in a room where the contribution boxes stood. One of the ten Commandments insisted that we should honor our father and mother. This meant that elderly parents would have to be cared for. To fail to take care of ageing parents was to disobey the law of God. Still, the temples and synagogues had to be built and repaired. So the Pharisees decided if anyone wanted to help maintain the temple and pay the priests for their service, they could say the word corban. Then they were allowed to give the money they might have used to support their aging parents to supply the temple coffers. This one little word set them free of any obligation to honor their aging parents. How important is it to obey God’s Word rather than our own traditions? There are no exceptions when it comes to keeping God’s commandments. If He is the same yesterday, and to day and for ever. (Heb. 13: 8) Who is the one doing the changing?
JOHN 6: 1-2 "After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tibe’rias. And a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His miracles which He did on them that were diseased."
If you saw His miracles, would you not do the same? What if you were one of them who was diseased; and you no longer had it? Many times we go to the Lord in prayer, and after He answers them we go back doing the things we use to do. Only to find out some time later down the road what we had prayed for comes back, but a lot worse than it was before we had prayed. God will give us what we ask for; even if it’s just to see if we are who we say we are. Do you think that when we asked God for something that we might have made some promises of our own and when He did for us, we forgot to keep our promise?
JOHN 6: 3-6 "And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there He sat with His disciples. And the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh. When Jesus then lifted up His eyes, and saw a great company come unto Him, He saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? And this He said to prove him: for He Himself knew what He would do."
3985 Prove = To test. If Jesus proved or tested Philip; do you think that He does the same with us to see if we are who we say we are?
JOHN 6: 7-9 "Philip answered Him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little. One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, saith unto Him, There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?"
Now who is proving who? I had asked the Lord, Why He does more for some and less for others? He said unto me, Because they don’t lie about who they are: they don’t say one thing and then do something else. See Mt. 20: 2 for a penny a day.
JOHN 6: 10-13 "And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. And Jesus took the loaves; and when He had given thanks, He distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would. When they were filled, He said unto His disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost. Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten."
Three things are noted in this great miracle. (1) Jesus did not start multiplying the loaves and fishes until He had something to multiply with; or He used what God gave Him. (2) Jesus said, "Make the men sit down." He took control over a hungry mob and not the other way around. (3) The disciples gathered up twelve baskets of food when the affair was over. He gave them only what was needed and nothing was wasted. Do you think that Jesus did this to prove or test them like He did with Philip?
JOHN 6: 14-15 "Than those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world. When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take Him by force, to make Him a king, He departed again into a mountain Himself alone."
It’s one thing to take control over a hungry mob by feeding them, but to make or change someone into something they don’t want; that’s what this lesson is all about.
JOHN 6: 16-21 "And when even was now come, His disciples went down unto the sea, and entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Caper’naum. And it was now dark and Jesus was not come to them. And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew. So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid. But He saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid. Then they willingly received Him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land wither they went."
When we go to do something and we leave Jesus behind or don’t take Him with us, how easy will our faith turn to fear? How fast did all of their problems go away when Jesus entered into the ship? Will He not do the same for us?
JOHN 6: 22-27 "The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one where into His disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with His disciples into the boat, but that His disciples were gone away alone; (Howbeit there came other boats from Tibe’rias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:) When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither His disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Caper’naum, seeking for Jesus. And when they had found Him on the other side of the sea, they said unto Him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither? Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek Me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled. Labor not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for Him hath God the Father sealed."
In Lk. 12: 24 Jesus said, "Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?" Children are content when they get whatsoever they want; but see what happens when you give them what is needed? One of the first things they will say unto you is, You don’t love me anymore! Jesus wanted them to love Him for who He was; not for what He had given them.
JOHN 6: 28-32 "Then said they unto Him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said
