Leader's Guide for God Who Are You? Bible Study Your House Can Change the World

YOUR HOUSE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD(whether in a neighborhood, small group Bible study, cell group, house church or one-on-one)


This leader’s guide is for: God, Who Are You? And Who Am I? Experiencing God by His Hebrew Names––a 13 or 23 week study Why Not Start Your Own Neighborhood Bible Study?


After my Bible study was published, I knew that unless I was willing to share the Word of my testimony, in reaching out to my own neighborhood, the Lord could not and would not bless any other teaching or speaking thing I did.


After I committed to obey, He brought an unknown neighbor to me. When I saw her address, I quickly asked, “Would you be willing to come to my house for a Bible study?” I could hardly believe how this young mother’s eyes lit up as she said yes. I was ashamed to learn she’d lived in my neighborhood for one year without my knowing her.


The Lord brought another young mother of three from out of town to my work site. He made it very clear I was to share with her part of my testimony about how God met our financial needs. Although she lived twenty minutes away, she jumped at the chance to come to my house at night after she taught school all day. Another neighbor stopped at my desk at work and readily agreed to come.


These three invites were easy. Going to the rest of the neighborhood on our figure 8, the equivalent of four blocks, was not as easy. Being so nervous, I finally stopped and prayed, “Lord, you promised to give Joshua every place the sole of his foot would tread, and I know You are doing that for me. It’s not by my might, nor by my power, but by Your Spirit. You promised to send Your angels before me, in Jesus name.”


Just then, I saw a vehicle pull into the garage of the house I was to go to next. The young lady jumped at the chance to come to a Bible study saying, “I’ve been praying for a year whether I should start one myself.”


Needless to say, God has blessed this book and study guide through a neighborhood format in reaching people. That’s why your house is so important: The Lord asks the question, “Where is the house you will build for me?” (Isaiah 66:1) meaning, how can He possibly be confined within the four walls of a building?


Churches that offer small-group, discipleship, cell groups that study the Bible live out this reality––taking Jesus to the people, rather than expecting the Church to come to the church. These are the churches that are growing, because people are becoming disciples of Jesus Christ.


This leader’s guide discusses the following reasons why you home is so important:

• Your neighborhood house provides a (cheap) natural, built-in area for small-group social /spiritual contact.

• Your neighborhood house provides a relative persecution-safe environment––within walking distance.

• Your house can provide a neighborhood group that eliminates denominational barriers

• Your neighborhood group is easily replicated.

• Your neighborhood group has a lasting, on-going potential.

This leader’s guide also discusses who are called to this special task of gathering in the end-time harvest and how to get started in this exciting adventure for which God has placed us on Earth at this time in history.


I compiled a 'Joshua Jericho Prayer-Walking Guide' I use in praying for my neighborhood. I call it the '6 & 1 Command.' It involves praying 2 powerful names of God for 6 days and on the 7th day, praying all 12 in 6 rounds while listening to praise songs on the 7th round.


I've learned to never try to plant seed without this preparation. It really works! It puts the Lord of hosts out front so He is the One leading the way in your neighborhood, home and/or church. Will you join us as a member of the military Bride of Christ?
