“A sovereign command of God which comes to everyone who hears the gospel is the command to believe in Christ. The truth that no one can believe unless God draws him by the irresistible grace of the Holy Spirit (John 6:44) does not detract an iota from the binding force of that command. Nor is there anything unreasonable about that command. For God to require of man to do something which he could not do as he came forth from the hands of the Creator, as for instance, to alter the orbit of the earth around the sun, would indeed be unreasonable, and unjust, too. But when God requires of man that he put his trust in God, He demands only what man was able to do originally. Although man in his fallen state no longer has that ability, he alone is to blame for its loss. God’s right is not affected. So the sinner must believe, or he will perish everlastingly. What an incentive for issuing that command to the lost!”
I devised this plan from MaCarthur’s suggestions found in this short talk – http://www.gty.org/Resources/Questions/QA54
There are to parts to each day’s reading, walking through the OT chronologically and soaking in the NT. My plan will take 3 years, but it should be very enriching, as the repetition and prayerful application will make a real difference.
A.) follow a daily Chronological plan of OT reading; 3-4 chapters a day.
B.) 7 NT chapters repeated daily for month:

There can be no assent to prayers that are not understood. A truly Christian minister will seek much more to do spiritual good to men’s souls, than to get the greatest applause to himself. This is proving himself the servant of Christ. Children are apt to be struck with novelty; but do not act like them. Christians should be like children, void of guile and malice; yet they should not be unskilful as to the word of righteousness, but only as to the arts of mischief. It is a proof that a people are forsaken of God, when he gives them up to the rule of those who teach them to worship in another language. They can never be benefitted by such teaching. Yet thus the preachers did who delivered their instructions in an unknown tongue. Would it not make Christianity ridiculous to a heathen, to hear the ministers pray or preach in a language which neither he nor the assembly understood? But if those who minister, plainly interpret Scripture, or preach the great truths and rules of the gospel, a heathen or unlearned person might become a convert to Christianity. His conscience might be touched, the secrets of his heart might be revealed to him, and so he might be brought to confess his guilt, and to own that God was present in the assembly. Scripture truth, plainly and duly taught, has a wonderful power to awaken the conscience and touch the heart.
“Satan will work on weak spots and push people at these points. You have to address it. Not only kick the demon out, but also work on illnessand character.
Aware that there is a roaring lion,
Christians are not to be afraid of demons as we have authority over evil spirits.
Be aware of your own evil desires (James 1:14)
There can be direct attack from satan also: particularly when involves in mission in deeply satanic regions.”
