Fred Bogg's Bible Study
Who? Me Lord?
Note:The author has dedicated this eBook to our Lord Jesus
Christ. This book is about the truth, about why sometimes we
ask Him, who me or why me Lord.
Chapter one
When we have that calling from God’s grace why
is it we always ask, “Why me lord?”. (And we all
do have a special purpose for our lives).
But most will never know why we are here or the
purpose of why God created us, even if we are
saved and a believer in Jesus Christ.
This Bible Study eBook is to help any one to see His
grace and
come to understand more about why we are here
on this planet called Earth and to answer some of
life’s mysteries.
We will start from the basics.
First, we are saved not by our works or any thing
we can do or say. But by one way only.
By Grace we are saved and not of ourselves lest
any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9. It is
called GRACE.
In John 3:1-18 (and there are so many other
passages), the Lord makes it clear.
We have to be born again and that is by one way
only—His way—simply believing in Jesus Christ!
In your own mind tell God the Father, “I believe
in Jesus Christ, the true gospel.” THAT’S IT.
That’s all we can do and from that moment on,
you are saved and you can never lose your
salvation!
YOU Are SAVED and that’s God’s word!
There is so much confusion and so many people
saying you have to invite Christ into your heart:
results, still unsaved. You must believe in
Jesus Christ as your Savior!
The God Head wants us all to be saved, and Jesus
did die as a substitute for all of us on the cross. I,
too want you to be saved, and it is time for all of
us to grow in the grace and knowledge of Him by
the means of Bible doctrines.
In Matthew 15:9, 1Timothy 2:16 and so many
more Bible verses, He calls us to grow in our
spiritual life and that means knowledge of Him.
To come to know someone, you must spend a
little time with that person. And the only way we
can know His spirit, is to grow in a spiritual
phenomenon. And to do that God says, “I will
give you a Teacher.” God the Holy Spirit is that
teacher.
But He also gave to men special spiritual gifts of
teachers and Pastor-Teachers. But one thing they
don’t realize is to teach us these things, they must
teach us from what the original scriptures say.
Not from the English translations, but from the
original way in which it was written…in the time
it was written…and the exegesis. That means:
Word by word translation from the Greek or the
Hebrew languages.
No, I’m not saying we are to know these
languages. Remember, Moses and Paul and all the
others writers, wrote them in these languages.
The English and the texts of today are poorly
miss-translated. But we are commanded to learn
His special doctrines or teachings for the new
church age.
First Peter 2:9a tells us: “But you are a chosen
people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people
belonging to God”.
That’s what the word Church really means; not
the building, but the believers. To build His
church, He’s talking to you and about you. For
you see we are His royal family, to share all He
has and to receive His inheritance. Is that not what
He says?
And to put it in proper order we have a special
protocol to follow. In His word he says we are to
hear the word, not read it. Let me explain what I
mean here.
First of all even Moses, Paul and Peter and all the
rest were commanded to take in Bible doctrine
also. In the Old and New Testaments, all are
commanded to take in doctrine.
But for the Church we are a new spiritual species;
with new teachings, even one that Moses said he
wished he could live to see. People, look at the
scriptures—it’s there!
But we must be taught by hearing and being
before God day by day; and by the right Pastor-
Teacher. Yes, He gives us all a right Pastor-
Teacher also. Just as He designed a right man and
right woman, He designed us all a right Pastor-
Teacher to teach us all these things.
See it’s not up to our human I.Q or our
intelligences and our education or how we look.
It all depends on God and the filling of the Holy
Spirit.
Filling means: One drop, or one step at a time.
Which means one day at a time!
When we are born again, God gives us thirty-nine
more Spiritual things. To know them we have to
learn about them, and that comes by daily hearing
the word.
God gave us 24 hours a day, He just wants us to
give Him at least one hour a day to be filled with
His spirit, to learn His way.
Is that not fair, or what?
For you see, He also gave us ten problem-solving
devices, which are also listed in the Bible. (I have
the King James Version and a few more translated
into English. It is about the closest we have to the
original translation, but it is a poor translation,
never-the-less.)
So all you Pastor-Teachers, feed your sheep the
truth that comes from Bible doctrine!
(I am writing from doctrine today because my
right Pastor-Teacher is feeding me. I have been
listening for over 23 years learning Bible doctrine,
which comes to 12-thousand hours of day by day
Bible teaching from original words written by
God. My Pastor-Teacher has a website at:
All his tapes and books are free; no charge;
postage free shipping to any where in the world.
In the next chapter, I address what comes after
salvation. We are called to grow in the Grace and
knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
This is our first commandment, first things first,
and the rest falls into place.
Chapter Two
After salvation we all are called to a high
command that ‘each one of us has something
special, designed just for us.’
But to fill this commandment, we have to learn
his Bible doctrines (the Word), in a day-by-day
walk with Him.
Second Timothy 3:16-17 says ‘All Scripture is
God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking,
correcting and training in righteousness, so that
the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for
every good work’.
Instructions of His word are to be edified each day
and to understand the things of the Spirit, we must
be filled with the Spirit.
But you see, there’s also a set back as it is written:
we are all sinners and fall short of the glory of
God!
But in Gods Grace, He took care of that too! We
call it ‘rebound’.
First John 1:9 says we are to name our sins to God
the Father, and He is just and will forgive us our
sins and all past sins. We start fresh every time!
Now that is Grace!
But that’s not a weekly or monthly thing. It is a
moment-by-moment thing, as it occurs, every
time! Or as soon as possible. For you see, Jesus
Christ died for ALL SINS!
But till we ‘rebound’, naming of our sins to God
the Father only, we will remain out of fellowship
with Him until we do! That is why it is called
‘rebound’
To understand the Word of God, we must be ‘in
fellowship with Him’. If we are out of fellowship
with Him, our prayers cannot be heard!
That is why it is so important to name our sins to
God each and every time we sin. If you look at
First John 1:8-10, it says: We are sinners and we
will sin, it is in our old sin nature’.
• Problem Solving Device Number One
First John 1:9 says: ‘…To name our sins to God
the Father and He is just and He will forgive us
and forget our sins.’
They are now blotted out. There is so much more
to learn here about this great blessing and mercy
God has given us. Thank God for Grace! Don’t
you agree?
• Problem Solving Device Number Two
Problem solving device Number Two is
recovering and being filled with The Holy Spirit.
In Ephesians Paul wrote to us to tell us to walk in
the Spirit.
By means of the Spirit, as quoted from First John
1:9: ‘No one who is born of God will continue to
sin, because God’s seed remains in him, he cannot
go on sinning, because he has been born of God’
this happens the moment we rebound or recover
fellowship with God.
The book of Ephesians was written for all of us in
the church age dispensation. We must know it.
For the only way we can understand the words of
the Spirit of God is by being in fellowship with
God, NOT with people.
There is a big, big difference in Divine viewpoint
and human viewpoint.
• Problem Solving Device Number Three
This device is called the ‘faith—rest—drill.
We are called to name some promises in the word
of God and rest in what He says. There are many
Promises in the scriptures.
• Hebrew 4:12
• Acts 16:21
• Romans 8:28-31 where we claim a promise
in God.
If God is for us who can be against us? He created
all things for them who love God and His word.
After you claim that promise, then as it says: ‘Rest
in it’.
Keep it on your mind, it’s yours to believe; God is
always there for you!
So faith—rest and relax! God does love you very
much!
.
Remember: Mercy and Miracles are God’s grace
in action!
Then just wait on Him to resolve your problems
or your issues.
I’m not saying to just quit living or stop thinking,
but to put all your trust in Him to take care of all
your problems. As the Greek word ‘Mello’ means:
mellow out and relax your soul and mind.
‘Heart’ in the Greek is Cardia, it means: the right
lobe of thinking. Not the organ that pumps blood.
We, as humans, take too many things in life too
personally. Just remember, God doesn’t need our
help, but we surly need His! He is the one in
constant control, not us.
There are 3 steps to this problem-solving device.
• To claim and hold onto and trust a promise
of God. To hold onto and trust that God
keeps His word and will do as He says. To
wait and put all your confidence in Him.
That’s very pleasing to God!
• To think and hold onto doctrine rationales.
• To think of His word and to use it to relax
your soul and mind. To comfort and to
stabilize your thinking and your life. To
claim His promise and to wait on Him to
give you your answers.
• To come up with a doctrine conclusion: to
stabilize your mind and your thinking; to
relax and not fragment your life; to relax
your soul.
These Problem Solving Devices Do Work!
They do work if you keep your trust in Him. So
put all your cares and troubles in Him, and ‘chill
out’! (God doesn’t need us, but we need Him!)
Problem Solving Device Number 4
Grace orientation to life: remember who is in
control of all things!
To learn who and what God is. These are the two
immutable things.
We all must come to know these two things as a
Christian.
Problem Solving Device Number Five
• Doctrine orientation to reality. To
understand His Grace through His word.
Problem Solving Device Number Six
• A personal sense of destiny. This is very
important to each of us believers.
At this point we should have that personal reason
and a relaxed soul, and if we don’t, it is because
we are not walking that walk in God, as we
should. It’s not an issue of being good or bad but
to believe in His Word and trusting in His word
and applying it to our daily lives.
That personal sense of our own destiny in
Christ.
Again if you are not hearing the word day by day
from your right Pastor-Teacher if you are not
taking in Bible doctrine daily, you will never
know these things which will help you in your life
and you will become defragmented to life and
become very arrogant.
And God does make war against the arrogant.
You must adjust to God because you don’t want
God to adjust to you! Read James 4:4-6. You see,
we cause more pain in our lives because we
become so arrogant; we want it our way not
God’s. As in Isaiah 55:5, His ways are not ours
and our ways are not His.
Remember this please.
Problem Solving Device Number Seven
• Personal love for God the Father is from
First John 1:6. This is another very
important problem we all have in life. We
say we love God, but we don’t really know
Him.
It took me a long time to get this one right, and I
still have a very long way to go. Because as the
great hero and writer Paul of the scriptures said:
‘Why do I keep doing the things I do not want or
wish to do, yet I do not do the things I do want
and wish to do?’
What did he mean by this? For you see, we have
what is called an ‘old sin nature’. Twenty-three
commutated cells in each and every one of our
bodies.
Even science proves this but they cannot
determine what it is. It is why Jesus Christ was
born from a virgin birth; it had to be this way.
Problem Solving Device Number Eight
• Impersonal Love for all mankind.
This is another very important one to know.
This is the meaning for ‘Agape Love’. Apply
Impersonal Love to all first.
This is how God can love both the unbelievers
and all believers, all at first, even in our sin.
The word ‘Agape Love’ is a perfect love for all to
know and apply each and every moment of your
life.
Have you ever had those days? When every thing
was going your way and every thing was doing
just fine, until someone said a wrong word to
you?
It felt like your nose was knocked out of joint.
All of a sudden your emotions were changed and
your attitude was challenged or changed, and you
were not very happy any more…what happened?
The old sin nature just took over your life. You
just let someone or something take away your
happiness.
Yes, you just gave it away. I’m telling you like it
is…it happened to me too, many times and it
continues to happen but not as much any more. I
am learning these things, too.
Thanks to God’s Grace we can recover from this.
Rebound and leave it all in god’s hands!
Remember Rebound.
First John 1:9 says “If we confess our sins, He is
faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and
purify us from all unrighteousness.”
Let Him take care of the problem, He loves doing
this for us! How great you are my Lord. Thank
you God my Father!
We are not perfect. The word perfect in the Bible
means: Mature.
So as ours or any country begins to degenerate, it
is because it is lacking “Mature Believers growing
in the Word of God…Bible doctrine daily!
As it is written, you are what you think. And we
are to have the mind of the Thinking of Christ,
First Corinthians 2:16 says, “For who has known
the mind of the Lord that He may instruct him?”
This is what is meant by the saying ‘we are
created in His image.’ It’s not talking about His
body, but His thinking, His true heart.
There are so many things to learn and know
before we can understand all these things, but
there is hope for all of us. It’s called the Grace of
God.
It’s all in His time and His grace; we are of His
creation, not of our own.
Problem solving device number 9
• Sharing the happiness of God
We as people look to so many material things to
bring us happiness. We think this will make us
happy: money and wealth. right mates, marriage,
sex, and to be noticed by others.
We search for so many material things for true
happiness. But the only true thing that is a
permanent happiness comes only from God
Himself. It comes from God the Holy Spirit. It
comes from a day-by-day learning and the living
doctrine residing in our souls.
This is a gift to all of us. We don’t earn it or even
deserve it. But first we must learn to have
contentment in our minds and souls.
To have Bible doctrine completely saturated in
our souls.
Only in this way can we enjoy what we receive
from Him.
Problem Solving Device Number 10
• Preoccupation with the person of Christ
Jesus.
Once we are in this state of mind in our spiritual
life, we will have received a total relaxed attitude.
You no longer are occupied by ‘self’. You
become occupied with Christ and then truth can
reside in your soul providing for a stable and
confident life. You no longer are afraid or feel
threatened in your own life.
You will find the inner happiness that no one
can take away.
Chapter Three
In Problem Solving Number Five, you receive
spiritual self-esteem. Self-esteem is some thing
that is so great, so wonderful that life does change
to your advantage!
Life becomes worth living, all that you have come
to know is behind you now. That’s God’s promise
not mine! I can promise it only gets better, but He
makes the promise first!
You can handle all things you always were afraid
to face before. The people in your life, your old
boss, situations, and conditions…everything has
changed in your life
God died for all of us to give us all things. It’s
yours so claim it!
There is so much to learn about in our spiritual
life. God’s plan is perfect. At one time in my life,
I did not believe there could be hope for me. I
was so very confused…sometimes, I still am, but
I am human, no better than any one, but I also
know no one is better than me. God Himself
showed that to me.
For you see, God the Holy Spirit is our true
teacher, not the pastor. Our Pastor-Teachers
‘cook our spiritual food’, and my Pastor-Teacher
is a good cook! In Jeremiah 15:16, it says, “When
Your words came, I ate them; they were my joy
and my heart’s delight, for I bear Your name!”
The Word is what this scripture means!
It means ‘what you have just heard, or after the
Pastor-Teacher has read a verse, you give a
positive volition, that is, you make a choice or
decision to believe that what you have just heard
is true.
Remember if it’s not truth then it won’t come to
be.
That is God’s grace, it doesn’t depend on our
human I.Q. but it is of God himself, and He gives
us all a spiritual I.Q.!
That’s also part of His divine grace that He gives
to each one of us. It is His ‘grace-gift’ not ours, so
relax your mind and hearts.
Remember, if you don’t have a right Pastor-
Teacher, you will not, I repeat, you will not learn
what God has to teach you!
The link below is my Pastor-Teacher’s web site.
The information here will give you an idea of
what you need to learn, but most of all, just ask
God for His truth and to give you what you need
to grow in Him.
AND HE WILL
Also remember theWord of God is always free.
It is called prayer. Prayer is the direct
communication with God the Father. When the
apostles asked Jesus Christ to teach them to pray,
what did He say to them? He raised his head and
said, “ Father!” That’s how we all must learn to
pray.
It all starts with being in confession and
fellowship first as we read in First John 1:9.
Always make sure you are in fellowship with God
the Father or your prayers can’t be answered! So
name your sins to God the Father so you can be
filled with the Spirit.
Then when we are in the Spirit and in fellowship,
we can now pray, with full confidence that God
will hear us. He hears us always but He cannot
compromise His Perfect Integrity. Did you know
that is what the word Holy means? It means
Integrity.
Yes, Holy means God’s integrity!
Prayer is our best weapon we have against Satan
and all his evil minions. Here is a little prayer I
would like to say for all of those who read this
Bible Study eBook.
It might help you to pray:
“Father in Heaven we give You all thanks and we
praise Your Holy name. I come to You as a
humble servant of Yours to ask for Your blessing
and comfort in these troubling times. Protect me
from attacks from my enemies.
Father, may I be where they are not and may they
be where I am not. Father, I pray for all the lost
souls and may they find Your Word.
Father, I pray for all the hungry, may You feed
them with Your trust and Your kindness. May we
come before You in Your time and in Your great
mercies to understand these great doctrines.
Thank you Father, and fill my soul with truth that
I may become a just man/woman. I ask this in
Christ’s name and in the power You have made
available to us in the Holy Spirit. Thank You,
Father! AMEN.”
