We are the new creations!

There are over 7 billion people in the world; there are over 7 billion different characters; and each one is utterly unlike individual. What a miracle! How great is the creator of the human race! Praise Him forever…

(Psalms 8:1) O Jehovah our Lord, how excellent is Your name in all the earth! You have set Your glory above the heavens!

(Psalms 8:2) Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings You have ordained strength, because of Your enemies, that You might remove the enemy and the avenger.

(Psalms 8:3) When I look at Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars which You have established;

(Psalms 8:4) what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him?

(Psalms 8:5) For You have made him lacking a little from God, and have crowned him with glory and honor.

(Psalms 8:6) You made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet:

(Psalms 8:7) all sheep and oxen, even the beasts of the field;

(Psalms 8:8) the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea passing through the paths of the seas.

(Psalms 8:9) O Jehovah, our Lord, how excellent is Your name in all the earth!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Let us live to His standard, the only way is through Jesus-

(John 14:1) Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.

(John 14:2) In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

(John 14:3) And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.

(John 14:4) And where I go you know, and the way you know.

(John 14:5) Thomas said to Him, Lord, we do not know where You go, and how can we know the way?

(John 14:6) Jesus said to him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Jesus is the only way into God’s class of being-

(John 3:17) For God did not send His Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

(John 3:18) The one believing into Him is not judged; but the one not believing is judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

(John 3:19) And this is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.

(John 3:20) For everyone practicing evil hates the Light and does not come to the Light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

(John 3:21) But the one doing the truth comes to the Light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been worked in God.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Receive Him now-

(John 1:1) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

(John 1:2) He was in the beginning with God.

(John 1:3) All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.

(John 1:4) In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.

(John 1:5) And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not lay hold of it.

(John 1:6) There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

(John 1:7) This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through Him might believe.

(John 1:8) He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

(John 1:9) That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world.

(John 1:10) He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and yet the world did not know Him.

(John 1:11) He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.

(John 1:12) But as many as received Him, to them He gave the authority to become children of God, to those believing into His name:

(John 1:13) who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

(Romans 10:4) For Christ is the end of the Law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

(Romans 10:5) For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the Law, The man who does those things shall live by them.

(Romans 10:6) But the righteousness of faith speaks in this manner, Do not say in your heart, Who will ascend into Heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down)

(Romans 10:7) or, Who will descend into the abyss? (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).

(Romans 10:8) But what does it say? The Word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart (that is, the Word of Faith which we preach):

(Romans 10:9) that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

(Romans 10:10) For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

(Romans 10:11) For the Scripture says, Everyone believing on Him will not be put to shame.

(Romans 10:12) For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich toward all who call upon Him.

(Romans 10:13) For everyone, whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

As the Church!

In the name of Jesus we are boldly declaring:

We are the new creations!

(2 Corinthians 5:1) For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in Heaven.

(2 Corinthians 5:2) For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our dwelling place out of Heaven,

(2 Corinthians 5:3) if indeed, being clothed, we shall not be found naked.

(2 Corinthians 5:4) For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, but clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life.

(2 Corinthians 5:5) Now He who has fashioned us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the earnest of the Spirit.

(2 Corinthians 5:6) So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord.

(2 Corinthians 5:7) For we walk by faith, not by sight.

(2 Corinthians 5:8) We are confident, yes, preferring rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.

(2 Corinthians 5:9) Therefore we strive, whether at home or away, to be well pleasing to Him.

(2 Corinthians 5:10) For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

(2 Corinthians 5:11) Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; and we are well known to God, and I also hope are well known in your consciences.

(2 Corinthians 5:12) For we do not commend ourselves again to you, but give you occasion to rejoice on our behalf, that you may have an answer for those who boast in appearance and not in heart.

(2 Corinthians 5:13) For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; or if we are of sound mind, it is for you.

(2 Corinthians 5:14) For the love of Christ holds us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died;

(2 Corinthians 5:15) and He died for all, that those who live should no longer live unto themselves, but unto Him who died for them and rose again.

(2 Corinthians 5:16) Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer.

(2 Corinthians 5:17) Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

(2 Corinthians 5:18) Now all things are from God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation,

(2 Corinthians 5:19) that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the Word of reconciliation.

(2 Corinthians 5:20) Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ. As God is exhorting through us, we beseech you on Christ’s behalf, Be reconciled to God.

(2 Corinthians 5:21) For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

(Ephesians 3:1) For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles;

(Ephesians 3:2) if indeed you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given to me for you,

(Ephesians 3:3) how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written already,

(Ephesians 3:4) by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ),

(Ephesians 3:5) which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets:

(Ephesians 3:6) that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and joint partakers of His promise in Christ through the gospel,

(Ephesians 3:7) of which I was made a minister according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effective working of His power.

(Ephesians 3:8) To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

(Ephesians 3:9) and to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ;

(Ephesians 3:10) to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known through the church to the rulers and authorities in the heavenlies,

(Ephesians 3:11) according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord,

(Ephesians 3:12) in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through His faith.

(Ephesians 3:13) Therefore I ask that you do not lose heart at my afflictions on your behalf, which is your glory.

(Ephesians 3:14) For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

(Ephesians 3:15) of whom the whole family in Heaven and earth is named,

(Ephesians 3:16) that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,

(Ephesians 3:17) that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

(Ephesians 3:18) may be able to grasp with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height;

(Ephesians 3:19) to know the surpassing knowledge and love of Christ; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

(Ephesians 3:20) Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,

(Ephesians 3:21) to Him be glory in the church in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

We are the brand new being! We have God’s nature!

The moment you becomes a Christian! God circumcise your heart, this is the great miracle! Your old sinful nature had been strip off, and you becomes a brand new being!

(2 Corinthians 5:16) Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer.

(2 Corinthians 5:17) Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

(2 Corinthians 5:18) Now all things are from God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation,

(2 Corinthians 5:19) that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the Word of reconciliation.

(2 Corinthians 5:20) Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ. As God is exhorting through us, we beseech you on Christ’s behalf, Be reconciled to God.

(2 Corinthians 5:21) For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

(Colossians 2:1) For I want you to know what a great struggle I have for you and those in Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh,

(Colossians 2:2) that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, and attaining to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the full true knowledge of the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ,

(Colossians 2:3) in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

(Colossians 2:4) Now this I say that no one should delude you with persuasive words.

(Colossians 2:5) For though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.

(Colossians 2:6) As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him,

(Colossians 2:7) being rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.

(Colossians 2:8) Beware that no one rob you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the traditions of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.

(Colossians 2:9) For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily;

(Colossians 2:10) and you are made full in Him, who is the Head of all rule and authority.

(Colossians 2:11) In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ,

(Colossians 2:12) buried with Him in immersion, in which you also were raised with Him through the faith of the working of God, who raised Him out from the dead.

(Colossians 2:13) And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses,

(Colossians 2:14) having blotted out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross;

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! There is no sin in you-

(Colossians 2:15) having disarmed rulers and authorities, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.

(Colossians 2:16) So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths,

(Colossians 2:17) which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

(Colossians 2:18) Let no one condemn you, taking delight in false humility and worship of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, being puffed up without cause by his fleshly mind,

(Colossians 2:19) and not holding fast to the Head; from whom all the body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, grows with the increase that is from God.

(Colossians 2:20) Therefore, if you died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to decrees;

(Colossians 2:21) Do not touch, do not taste, do not handle;

(Colossians 2:22) which all concern things which perish with the using; according to the commandments and doctrines of men?

(Colossians 2:23) These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-devised worship, false humility, and severity in abuse of the body, but are of no value against gratification of the flesh.

(Romans 6:1) What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?

(Romans 6:2) Let it not be! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?

(Romans 6:3) Or do you not know that as many of us as were immersed into Christ Jesus were immersed into His death?

(Romans 6:4) Therefore we were buried with Him through immersion into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

(Romans 6:5) For if we have been planted together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in resurrection,

(Romans 6:6) knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be nullified, that we should no longer serve sin.

(Romans 6:7) For he who has died has been justified from sin.

(Romans 6:8) Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him,

(Romans 6:9) knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him.

(Romans 6:10) For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives unto God.

(Romans 6:11) Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

(Romans 6:12) Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.

(Romans 6:13) And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

(Romans 6:14) For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under Law but under grace.

(Romans 6:15) What then? Shall we sin because we are not under Law but under grace? Let it not be!

(Romans 6:16) Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

(Romans 6:17) But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered to you.

(Romans 6:18) And having been set free from sin, you became slaves to righteousness.

(Romans 6:19) I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves to uncleanness, and to iniquity unto iniquity, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness unto sanctification.

(Romans 6:20) For when you were slaves to sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.

(Romans 6:21) What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.

(Romans 6:22) But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves to God, you have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end, eternal life.

(Romans 6:23) For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! How can you keep quiet?

(Romans 8:1) There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

(Romans 8:2) For the Law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death.

(Romans 8:3) For what the Law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh; and on account of sin, He condemned sin in the flesh,

(Romans 8:4) that the righteous requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

(Romans 8:5) For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

(Romans 8:6) For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

(Romans 8:7) Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the Law of God, nor indeed can be.

(Romans 8:8) So then, those who are in the flesh are not able to please God.

(Romans 8:9) But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.

(Romans 8:10) And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

(Romans 8:11) But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also make your mortal bodies alive through His Spirit who dwells in you.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

As the Church!

In the name of Jesus we are boldly declaring:

We are the brand new being! We have God’s nature!

(1 John 3:1) Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God. Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

(1 John 3:2) Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.

(1 John 3:3) And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.

(1 John 3:4) Whoever produces sin also produces lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.

(1 John 3:5) And you know that He was manifested in order to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin.

(1 John 3:6) Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Everyone who sins has not seen Him nor known Him.

(1 John 3:7) Little children, let no one lead you astray. He who produces righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.

(1 John 3:8) He who produces sin is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this, the Son of God was made known, that He might destroy the works of the devil.

(1 John 3:9) Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and it is not his nature to sin, because he has been born of God.

(1 John 3:10) In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not produce righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother.

(1 John 3:11) For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another,

(1 John 3:12) not as Cain who was of the wicked one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were evil and his brother’s righteous.

(1 John 3:13) Do not marvel, my brethren, if the world hates you.

(1 John 3:14) We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother remains in death.

(1 John 3:15) Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

(1 John 3:16) By this we know the love of God, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

(1 John 3:17) But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him?

(1 John 3:18) My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.

(1 John 3:19) And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him.

(1 John 3:20) For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.

(1 John 3:21) Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God.

(1 John 3:22) And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do the things that are pleasing in His sight.

(1 John 3:23) And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, as He gave us commandment.

(1 John 3:24) Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.

(1 John 4:1) Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, to see whether they are from God; because many false prophets have gone forth into the world.

(1 John 4:2) By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,

(1 John 4:3) and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not from God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.

(1 John 4:4) You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

(1 John 4:5) They are of the world. Therefore they speak of the world, and the world hears them.

(1 John 4:6) We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the Spirit of Truth and the spirit of error.

(1 John 4:7) Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born from God and knows God.

(1 John 4:8) He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

(1 John 4:9) In this the love of God was revealed in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.

(1 John 4:10) In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

(1 John 4:11) Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

(1 John 4:12) No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us.

(1 John 4:13) By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit.

(1 John 4:14) And we have seen and bear witness that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world.

(1 John 4:15) Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.

(1 John 4:16) And we have known and believed the love that God has in us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.

(1 John 4:17) Love has been perfected with us in this: that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world.

(1 John 4:18) There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment. But he who fears has not been made complete in love.

(1 John 4:19) We love Him because He first loved us.

(1 John 4:20) If someone says, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how is he able to love God whom he has not seen?

(1 John 4:21) And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God also loves his brother.

(1 John 5:1) Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born from God, and everyone who loves Him who begets also loves him who is begotten from Him.

(1 John 5:2) By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments.

(1 John 5:3) For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.

(1 John 5:4) For whatever is born from God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world; our faith.

(1 John 5:5) Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.

(1 John 5:6) This is He who came through water and blood; Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth.

(1 John 5:7) For there are three that bear witness in Heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.

(1 John 5:8) And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and the three are into one.

(1 John 5:9) If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; for this is the testimony of God which He has witnessed about His Son.

(1 John 5:10) He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given concerning His Son.

(1 John 5:11) And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.

(1 John 5:12) He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.

(1 John 5:13) These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.

(1 John 5:14) Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

(1 John 5:15) And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked from Him.

(1 John 5:16) If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and He will give him life for those who commit sin not unto death. There is sin unto death. I do not say that he should ask about that.

(1 John 5:17) All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not unto death.

(1 John 5:18) We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the evil does not touch him.

(1 John 5:19) We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in wickedness.

(1 John 5:20) And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

(1 John 5:21) Little children, keep yourselves away from idols. Amen.

We have the power of Holiness! The God of peace tramples Satan under our feet!

Holiness is power! It crushes satan under your feet-

(2 Corinthians 6:14) Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?

(2 Corinthians 6:15) And what agreement has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever?

(2 Corinthians 6:16) And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: I will dwell in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

(2 Corinthians 6:17) Therefore, Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you.

(2 Corinthians 6:18) And I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.

(2 Corinthians 7:1) Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilements of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

(Hebrews 12:1) Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so persistently harasses us, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us,

(Hebrews 12:2) looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

(Hebrews 12:3) For consider Him who endured such opposition from sinners against Himself, that you not become weary and faint in your souls.

(Hebrews 12:4) You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin.

(Hebrews 12:5) And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are rebuked by Him.

(Hebrews 12:6) For whom the Lord loves He disciplines, and whips every son whom He receives.

(Hebrews 12:7) If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not discipline?

(Hebrews 12:8) But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons.

(Hebrews 12:9) Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?

(Hebrews 12:10) For they indeed for a few days disciplined us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness.

(Hebrews 12:11) Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been exercised by it.

(Hebrews 12:12) Therefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees,

(Hebrews 12:13) and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be turned aside, but rather be healed.

(Hebrews 12:14) Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord;

(Hebrews 12:15) watching carefully that no one fall short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and through this many become defiled;

(Hebrews 12:16) that there be no prostitute or profane person like Esau, who for one morsel of food gave away his birthright.

(Hebrews 12:17) For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears.

(Hebrews 12:18) For you have not come to the mountain that may be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness and darkness and tempest,

(Hebrews 12:19) and the sound of a trumpet and the voice of words, so that those who heard it begged that the word should not be spoken to them anymore.

(Hebrews 12:20) (For they could not endure what was commanded: And if so much as a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned or shot with an arrow.

(Hebrews 12:21) And so formidable was the sight that Moses said, I am in terror and trembling.)

(Hebrews 12:22) But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the Heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable multitude of angels,

(Hebrews 12:23) to the gathering and assembly of the firstborn who are registered in Heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made complete,

(Hebrews 12:24) to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.

(Hebrews 12:25) See to it that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from the One speaking from Heaven,

(Hebrews 12:26) whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also the heavens.

(Hebrews 12:27) Now this, Yet once more, indicates the removal of those things that are being overthrown, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be overthrown may remain.

(Hebrews 12:28) Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.

(Hebrews 12:29) For our God is a consuming fire.

(Romans 16:17) Now I exhort you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and snares, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and turn away from them.

(Romans 16:18) For those who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple.

(Romans 16:19) For your obedience has reached to everyone. Therefore I rejoice over you. But I want you to be wise unto what is good, and simple toward evil.

(Romans 16:20) And the God of peace will trample Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

As the Church!

In the name of Jesus we are boldly declaring:

We have the power of Holiness! The God of peace tramples Satan under our feet!

(Matthew 5:1) And seeing the multitudes, He went up into a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him.

(Matthew 5:2) And He opened His mouth and taught them, saying:

(Matthew 5:3) Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.

(Matthew 5:4) Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

(Matthew 5:5) Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

(Matthew 5:6) Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.

(Matthew 5:7) Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

(Matthew 5:8) Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

(Matthew 5:9) Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

(Matthew 5:10) Blessed are they who have been persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.

(Matthew 5:11) Blessed are you when they shall revile and persecute you, and shall say every evil word against you falsely because of Me.

(Matthew 5:12) Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in Heaven, for in this manner they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

(Matthew 5:13) You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.

(Matthew 5:14) You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.

(Matthew 5:15) Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a grain measure, but on a lampstand, and it shines for all who are in the house.

(Matthew 5:16) Let your light so shine before men, so that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven.

(Matthew 5:17) Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.

(Matthew 5:18) For truly I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the Law till all is fulfilled.

(Matthew 5:19) Whoever therefore relaxes one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of Heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of Heaven.

(Matthew 5:20) For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of Heaven.

(Matthew 5:21) You have heard that it was said to those of old, You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.

(Matthew 5:22) But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, Empty head! shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, You fool! shall be in danger of the fire of Gehenna.

(Matthew 5:23) Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you,

(Matthew 5:24) leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.

(Matthew 5:25) Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are on the way with him, lest your adversary deliver you to the judge, the judge hand you over to the officer, and you be thrown into prison.

(Matthew 5:26) Truly I say to you, you will by no means get out of there till you have paid the last penny.

(Matthew 5:27) You have heard that it was said to those of old, You shall not commit adultery.

(Matthew 5:28) But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

(Matthew 5:29) And if your right eye snares you into sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, and not your whole body be cast into Gehenna.

(Matthew 5:30) And if your right hand snares you into sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, and not your whole body be cast into Gehenna.

(Matthew 5:31) Furthermore it has been said, Whoever puts away his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.

(Matthew 5:32) But I say to you that whoever puts away his wife for any reason except sexual perversion causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery.

(Matthew 5:33) Again, you have heard that it was said to those of old, You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform your oaths to the Lord.

(Matthew 5:34) But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by Heaven, for it is God’s throne;

(Matthew 5:35) nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

(Matthew 5:36) Nor shall you swear by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black.

(Matthew 5:37) But let your word be Yes, yes; No, no. For whatever is more than these is from evil.

(Matthew 5:38) You have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

(Matthew 5:39) But I tell you, Do not resist evil. But whoever hits you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.

(Matthew 5:40) And if anyone wants to sue you and take away your tunic, let him have your cloak also.

(Matthew 5:41) And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.

(Matthew 5:42) Give to him who asks of you, and from him who wants to borrow from you, do not turn away.

(Matthew 5:43) You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.

(Matthew 5:44) But I say to you, Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who abuse you and persecute you,

(Matthew 5:45) that you may become sons of your Father in Heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

(Matthew 5:46) For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors the same?

(Matthew 5:47) And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not also the tax collectors so?

(Matthew 5:48) Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in Heaven is perfect.

 

We are living by faith-God’s faith!

Living by faith is the most bless of life, you trust God utterly in His Word, and He blesses you according to His Word! What a bless state to be in!

(Isaiah 55:1) Ho, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat. Yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

(Isaiah 55:2) Why do you weigh out money for what is not bread, and your labor for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

(Isaiah 55:3) Extend your ear, and come to Me; hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

(Isaiah 55:4) Behold, I have given him as a witness to the people, a leader and commander of people.

(Isaiah 55:5) Behold, you shall call a nation that you do not know, and nations that did not know you shall run to you because of Jehovah your God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for He has glorified you.

(Isaiah 55:6) Seek Jehovah while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near.

(Isaiah 55:7) Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to Jehovah, and He will have mercy on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.

(Isaiah 55:8) For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways, says Jehovah.

(Isaiah 55:9) For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.

(Isaiah 55:10) For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and does not return there, but waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, and gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater;

(Isaiah 55:11) so shall My Word be, which goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall succeed in that for which I have sent it.

(Isaiah 55:12) For you shall go out with joy, and be led out with peace; the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into praise, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

(Isaiah 55:13) Instead of the thorn, the fir tree shall come up; and instead of the brier, the myrtle tree shall come up; and it shall be to Jehovah for a name, for a perpetual sign that shall not be cut off.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

As the Church!

In the name of Jesus we are boldly declaring:

We are living by faith-God’s faith!

(Galatians 2:20) I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

(Romans 4:16) Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the promise might be sure to all the seed, not only to those who are of the Law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all

(Romans 4:17) (as it is written, I have made you a father of many nations) in the presence of Him whom he believed; God, who makes the dead alive and calls those things which do not exist as though they did;

(Romans 4:18) who, against hope, believed in hope, so that he might become the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, So shall your seed be.

(Romans 4:19) And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb;

(Romans 4:20) he did not hesitate at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God,

(Romans 4:21) and being fully assured that what He had promised He is also able to perform.

(Romans 4:22) And therefore it was accounted to him for righteousness.

(Romans 4:23) Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was accounted to him,

(Romans 4:24) but also for us, to whom it shall be accounted, believing in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead,

(Romans 4:25) who was delivered up because of our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.

(Romans 5:1) Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

(Romans 5:2) through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice on the hope of the glory of God.

(Romans 5:3) And not only that, but we also exult in afflictions, knowing that affliction produces perseverance;

(Romans 5:4) and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope.

(Romans 5:5) And hope does not make ashamed, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

(Romans 5:6) For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

(Romans 5:7) For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man some would even be bold enough to die.

(Romans 5:8) But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

(Romans 5:9) Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.

(Romans 5:10) For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

(Romans 5:11) And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

(Romans 5:12) Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to every person, because everyone sinned.

(Romans 5:13) For until the Law sin was in the world, but sin is not accounted when there is no law.

(Romans 5:14) Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come.

(Romans 5:15) But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.

(Romans 5:16) And the gift is not like it was through the one who sinned. For the judgment from one offense was unto condemnation, but the free gift from many offenses is unto justification.

(Romans 5:17) For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who are receiving abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.

(Romans 5:18) Therefore, as through one man’s offense judgment was to every person unto condemnation, even so through one Man’s righteous act the free gift is to every person unto justification of life.

(Romans 5:19) For as through one man’s disobedience many were declared sinners, so also through one Man’s obedience many will be declared righteous.

(Romans 5:20) Moreover the Law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more,

(Romans 5:21) so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness unto eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! (Hebrews 10:35) Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward.

(Hebrews 10:36) For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise:

(Hebrews 10:37) For yet a little while, and He who is coming will come and will not linger.

(Hebrews 10:38) Now the just shall live by faith; but if anyone draws back, My soul is not pleased with him.

(Hebrews 10:39) But we are not of those who draw back to destruction, but of those who believe to the preserving of the soul.

(Hebrews 11:1) Now faith is the certainty of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

(Hebrews 11:2) For by it the elders bore witness.

(Ephesians 3:14) For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

(Ephesians 3:15) of whom the whole family in Heaven and earth is named,

(Ephesians 3:16) that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,

(Ephesians 3:17) that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

(Ephesians 3:18) may be able to grasp with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height;

(Ephesians 3:19) to know the surpassing knowledge and love of Christ; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

(Ephesians 3:20) Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,

(Ephesians 3:21) to Him be glory in the church in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

We are pouring out our hearts before God!

When you pour out your heart before men, you may have temporary relief, after a while it will come back, because the root cause still there.

But when you pour your heart before God, Hallelujah! you are free forever…

(Psalms 62:5) My soul, be still only before God; for my expectation is from Him.

(Psalms 62:6) He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my stronghold; I shall not be shaken.

(Psalms 62:7) In God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength; my refuge is in God.

(Psalms 62:8) Trust in Him at all times, you people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah.

(Psalms 62:9) Surely the sons of men are a vapor; men are a lie; if they were to climb up into the scales, they are altogether lighter than vapor.

(Psalms 62:10) Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery; if riches increase, do not set your heart upon them.

(Psalms 62:11) God has spoken once, twice I have heard this: That power belongs to God.

(Psalms 62:12) Also to You, O Jehovah, belongs mercy; for You give to every man according to his work.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

As the Church!

In the name of Jesus we are boldly declaring:

We are pouring out our hearts before God!

(Ephesians 1:1) Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints who are in Ephesus, and faithful in Christ Jesus:

(Ephesians 1:2) Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

(Ephesians 1:3) Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ,

(Ephesians 1:4) just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish before Him in love,

(Ephesians 1:5) having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,

(Ephesians 1:6) to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He has made us accepted in the Beloved.

(Ephesians 1:7) In Him we have redemption through His blood, the remission of sins, according to the riches of His grace

(Ephesians 1:8) which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and understanding,

(Ephesians 1:9) having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself,

(Ephesians 1:10) that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might sum up in one all things in Christ, both which are in Heaven and which are on earth; in Him.

(Ephesians 1:11) In Him also we have been assigned to an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will,

(Ephesians 1:12) that we who previously trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory.

(Ephesians 1:13) In whom also, after you heard the Word of Truth, the gospel of your salvation, in whom also, believing, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,

(Ephesians 1:14) who is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.

(Ephesians 1:15) Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,

(Ephesians 1:16) do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers:

(Ephesians 1:17) that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the full true knowledge of Him,

(Ephesians 1:18) the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

(Ephesians 1:19) and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us, who believe according to the working of His mighty power

(Ephesians 1:20) which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenlies,

(Ephesians 1:21) far above all rule and authority and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.

(Ephesians 1:22) And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church,

(Ephesians 1:23) which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all things in all.

(Ephesians 2:1) And you being dead in trespasses and sins,

(Ephesians 2:2) in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience,

(Ephesians 2:3) among whom also we all formerly conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others;

(Ephesians 2:4) but God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,

(Ephesians 2:5) even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you are saved),

(Ephesians 2:6) and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus,

(Ephesians 2:7) that in the ages to come He might display the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

(Ephesians 2:8) For by grace you are saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;

(Ephesians 2:9) not of works, that no one should boast.

(Ephesians 2:10) For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

(Ephesians 2:11) Therefore remember that you, being Gentiles in the flesh; who are called uncircumcision by what is called the circumcision made in the flesh by hands;

(Ephesians 2:12) that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

(Ephesians 2:13) But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been made near by the blood of Christ.

(Ephesians 2:14) For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation,

(Ephesians 2:15) having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, that He might create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace,

(Ephesians 2:16) and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity.

(Ephesians 2:17) And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near.

(Ephesians 2:18) For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.

(Ephesians 2:19) Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,

(Ephesians 2:20) having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone,

(Ephesians 2:21) in whom the whole building, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord,

(Ephesians 2:22) in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

(Ephesians 3:1) For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles;

(Ephesians 3:2) if indeed you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given to me for you,

(Ephesians 3:3) how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written already,

(Ephesians 3:4) by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ),

(Ephesians 3:5) which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets:

(Ephesians 3:6) that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and joint partakers of His promise in Christ through the gospel,

(Ephesians 3:7) of which I was made a minister according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effective working of His power.

(Ephesians 3:8) To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

(Ephesians 3:9) and to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ;

(Ephesians 3:10) to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known through the church to the rulers and authorities in the heavenlies,

(Ephesians 3:11) according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord,

(Ephesians 3:12) in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through His faith.

(Ephesians 3:13) Therefore I ask that you do not lose heart at my afflictions on your behalf, which is your glory.

(Ephesians 3:14) For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

(Ephesians 3:15) of whom the whole family in Heaven and earth is named,

(Ephesians 3:16) that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,

(Ephesians 3:17) that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

(Ephesians 3:18) may be able to grasp with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height;

(Ephesians 3:19) to know the surpassing knowledge and love of Christ; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

(Ephesians 3:20) Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,

(Ephesians 3:21) to Him be glory in the church in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

(Ephesians 4:1) I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called,

(Ephesians 4:2) with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love,

(Ephesians 4:3) endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

(Ephesians 4:4) There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling;

(Ephesians 4:5) one Lord, one faith, one immersion;

(Ephesians 4:6) one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

(Ephesians 4:7) But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift.

(Ephesians 4:8) Therefore He says: When He ascended on high, He led captive the captives, and gave gifts to men.

(Ephesians 4:9) (Now this, He ascended; what does it mean but that He also first descended into the lower parts of the earth?

(Ephesians 4:10) He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.)

(Ephesians 4:11) And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,

(Ephesians 4:12) for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the building up of the body of Christ,

(Ephesians 4:13) till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the full true knowledge of the Son of God, to a complete man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;

(Ephesians 4:14) that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting,

(Ephesians 4:15) but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head, Christ,

(Ephesians 4:16) from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every individual does its part, causes growth of the body for the building up of itself in love.

(Ephesians 4:17) This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the emptiness of their mind,

(Ephesians 4:18) having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart;

(Ephesians 4:19) who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to licentiousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

(Ephesians 4:20) But you have not so learned Christ,

(Ephesians 4:21) if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus:

(Ephesians 4:22) that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which is corrupted according to the deceitful lusts,

(Ephesians 4:23) and be renewed in the spirit of your mind,

(Ephesians 4:24) and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.

(Ephesians 4:25) Therefore, putting away lying, let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.

(Ephesians 4:26) Be angry, but do not sin: do not let the sun go down on your wrath,

(Ephesians 4:27) nor give place to the devil.

(Ephesians 4:28) Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need.

(Ephesians 4:29) Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for the business of building up, that it may impart grace to the hearers.

(Ephesians 4:30) And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

(Ephesians 4:31) Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all wickedness.

(Ephesians 4:32) And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ forgave you.

(Ephesians 5:1) Therefore be imitators of God as beloved children.

(Ephesians 5:2) And walk in love, as Christ also loved us and gave Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.

(Ephesians 5:3) But sexual perversion and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints;

(Ephesians 5:4) neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks.

(Ephesians 5:5) For this you know, that no prostitute, unclean person, nor covetous person, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

(Ephesians 5:6) Let no one beguile you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

(Ephesians 5:7) Therefore do not be partakers with them.

(Ephesians 5:8) For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light

(Ephesians 5:9) (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth),

(Ephesians 5:10) proving what is acceptable to the Lord.

(Ephesians 5:11) And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

(Ephesians 5:12) For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.

(Ephesians 5:13) But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light.

(Ephesians 5:14) Therefore He says: Awake, you who sleep, stand forth out from among the dead, and Christ will shine on you.

(Ephesians 5:15) See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise,

(Ephesians 5:16) redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

(Ephesians 5:17) Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

(Ephesians 5:18) And do not be drunk with wine, in which is debauchery; but be filled by the Spirit,

(Ephesians 5:19) speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,

(Ephesians 5:20) giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

(Ephesians 5:21) submitting to one another in the fear of God.

(Ephesians 5:22) Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

(Ephesians 5:23) For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body.

(Ephesians 5:24) Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.

(Ephesians 5:25) Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her,

(Ephesians 5:26) that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the Word,

(Ephesians 5:27) that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.

(Ephesians 5:28) So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself.

(Ephesians 5:29) For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church.

(Ephesians 5:30) For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones.

(Ephesians 5:31) For this, a man shall leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh.

(Ephesians 5:32) This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

(Ephesians 5:33) Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she reverence her husband.

(Ephesians 6:1) Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

(Ephesians 6:2) Honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment with promise:

(Ephesians 6:3) that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.

(Ephesians 6:4) And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and admonition of the Lord.

(Ephesians 6:5) Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ;

(Ephesians 6:6) not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,

(Ephesians 6:7) with goodwill doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men,

(Ephesians 6:8) knowing that whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free.

(Ephesians 6:9) And you, masters, do the same things to them, giving up threatening, knowing that your own Master also is in Heaven, and there is no partiality with Him.

(Ephesians 6:10) Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

(Ephesians 6:11) Put on all the armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

(Ephesians 6:12) For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against rulers, against authorities, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual wickedness in the heavenlies.

(Ephesians 6:13) Therefore take up all the armor of God, that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

(Ephesians 6:14) Stand firm therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

(Ephesians 6:15) and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

(Ephesians 6:16) above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.

(Ephesians 6:17) And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God;

(Ephesians 6:18) praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints;

(Ephesians 6:19) and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel,

(Ephesians 6:20) for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

(Ephesians 6:21) But that you also may know my affairs and how I am doing, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, will make all things known to you,

(Ephesians 6:22) whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that you may know our affairs, and that he may encourage your hearts.

(Ephesians 6:23) Peace to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

(Ephesians 6:24) Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.

We have returned unto our God!

Our God is gracious and merciful! All day long He is waiting for His children to return into Him, don’t grief Him anymore! He is good! His mercy endures forever…

The moment you yield to Him, instantly He delivers you-

(1 Kings 20:1) Now Ben-Hadad the king of Syria gathered all his forces together; thirty-two kings were with him, with horses and chariots. And he went up and besieged Samaria, and made war against it.

(1 Kings 20:2) And he sent messengers into the city to Ahab king of Israel, and said to him, Thus says Ben-Hadad:

(1 Kings 20:3) Your silver and your gold are mine; your lovely wives and children are mine.

(1 Kings 20:4) And the king of Israel answered and said, My lord, O king, just as you say, I and all that I have are yours.

(1 Kings 20:5) And the messengers came back and said, Thus says Ben-Hadad, saying, Indeed I have sent to you, saying, You shall deliver to me your silver and your gold, your wives and your children;

(1 Kings 20:6) but I will send my servants to you tomorrow about this time, and they shall search your house and the houses of your servants. And it shall be, that whatever is pleasant in your eyes, they shall put it in their hands and take it away.

(1 Kings 20:7) So the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Notice, please, and see how this man seeks evil, for he sent to me for my wives, my children, my silver, and my gold; and I have not withheld from him.

(1 Kings 20:8) And all the elders and all the people said to him, Do not listen or consent.

(1 Kings 20:9) Therefore he said to the messengers of Ben-Hadad, Tell my lord the king, All that you sent for to your servant the first time I will do, but this thing I cannot do. And the messengers departed and brought back word to him.

(1 Kings 20:10) And Ben-Hadad sent to him and said, The gods do so to me, and more also, if enough dust is left of Samaria for a handful for each of the people who follow me.

(1 Kings 20:11) And the king of Israel answered and said, Tell him, Let not the one who puts on his armor boast like the one who takes it off.

(1 Kings 20:12) And it happened when Ben-Hadad heard this message, as he and the kings were drinking at the booths, that he said to his servants, Get ready. And they stationed themselves against the city.

(1 Kings 20:13) And behold, a certain prophet approached Ahab king of Israel, saying, Thus says Jehovah: Have you seen all this great multitude? Behold, I am delivering it into your hand today, and you shall know that I am Jehovah.

(1 Kings 20:14) So Ahab said, By whom? And he said, Thus says Jehovah: By the young rulers of the provinces. Then he said, Who shall begin the battle? And he answered, You.

(1 Kings 20:15) Then he mustered the young rulers of the provinces, and there were two hundred and thirty-two; and after them he mustered all the people, all the sons of Israel; seven thousand.

(1 Kings 20:16) So they went out at noon. Meanwhile Ben-Hadad and the thirty-two kings helping him were getting drunk in the booths.

(1 Kings 20:17) And the young rulers of the provinces went out first. And Ben-Hadad sent out, and they reported to him, saying, Men have come out of Samaria!

(1 Kings 20:18) And he said, If they have come out for peace, take them alive; and if they have come out for war, take them alive.

(1 Kings 20:19) And the young rulers of the provinces went out of the city with the army which followed them.

(1 Kings 20:20) And each one struck his man; so the Syrians fled, and Israel pursued them; and Ben-Hadad the king of Syria escaped on a horse with the horsemen.

(1 Kings 20:21) And the king of Israel went out and struck the horses and chariots, and struck the Syrians with a great slaughter.

(1 Kings 20:22) And the prophet came to the king of Israel and said to him, Go, strengthen yourself; take note, and see what you should do, for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against you.

(1 Kings 20:23) And the servants of the king of Syria said to him, Their gods are gods of the hills. Therefore they were stronger than us; but if we fight against them in the plain, will we not be stronger than them.

(1 Kings 20:24) So do this thing: Remove the kings, each from his place, and put governors in their places;

(1 Kings 20:25) and you shall muster an army like the army that you have lost, horse for horse and chariot for chariot. Then we shall fight against them in the plain; surely we will be stronger than them. And he heeded their voice and did so.

(1 Kings 20:26) So it was, at the turn of the year, that Ben-Hadad mustered the Syrians and went up to Aphek to fight against Israel.

(1 Kings 20:27) And the sons of Israel were mustered and given provisions, and they went against them. Now the sons of Israel encamped before them like two little flocks of goats, while the Syrians filled the land.

(1 Kings 20:28) And a man of God came and spoke to the king of Israel, and said, Thus says Jehovah: Because the Syrians have said, Jehovah is God of the hills, but He is not God of the valleys, therefore I will deliver all this great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am Jehovah.

(1 Kings 20:29) And they encamped opposite each other for seven days. So it was that on the seventh day the battle was joined; and the children of Israel killed one hundred thousand foot soldiers of the Syrians in one day.

(1 Kings 20:30) And the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; where a wall fell on twenty-seven thousand of the men who were left. And Ben-Hadad fled and came into the city, into an inner chamber.

(1 Kings 20:31) And his servants said to him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings. Please, let us put sackcloth on our loins and ropes around our heads, and go out to the king of Israel; perhaps he will preserve alive your soul.

(1 Kings 20:32) So they girded sackcloth on their loins and put ropes around their heads, and came to the king of Israel and said, Your servant Ben-Hadad says, Please preserve my soul alive. And he said, Is he still alive? He is my brother.

(1 Kings 20:33) Now the men observed carefully, and they quickly grasped at this word and said, Your brother Ben-Hadad. And he said, Go, bring him. Then Ben-Hadad came out to him; and he had him come up into the chariot.

(1 Kings 20:34) And Ben-Hadad said to him, The cities which my father took from your father I will restore; and you shall make streets for yourself in Damascus, as my father did in Samaria. And Ahab said, I will send you away with this treaty. So he made a treaty with him and sent him away.

(1 Kings 20:35) And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his neighbor, By the Word of Jehovah, Strike me, please. And the man refused to strike him.

(1 Kings 20:36) And he said to him, Because you have not obeyed the voice of Jehovah, behold, as soon as you depart from me, a lion shall kill you. And as soon as he left him, a lion found him and killed him.

(1 Kings 20:37) And he found another man, and said, Strike me, please. So the man struck him, to strike and wound him.

(1 Kings 20:38) And the prophet departed and waited for the king by the road, and disguised himself with a cover over his eyes.

(1 Kings 20:39) And as the king passed by, he cried out to the king and said, Your servant went out into the midst of the battle; and there, a man came over and brought a man to me, and said, Guard this man; if by any means he is missing, your soul shall be for his soul, or else you shall pay a talent of silver.

(1 Kings 20:40) And while your servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said to him, So shall your judgment be; you yourself have decided it.

(1 Kings 20:41) And he hastened to take the covering away from his eyes; and the king of Israel recognized him as one of the prophets.

(1 Kings 20:42) And he said to him, Thus says Jehovah: Because you have sent away out of your hand a man whom I devoted to utter destruction, therefore your soul shall go for his soul, and your people for his people.

(1 Kings 20:43) So the king of Israel went to his house sullen and angry, and came to Samaria.

(1 Kings 21:1) And it came to pass after these things that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard which was in Jezreel, next to the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.

(1 Kings 21:2) And Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a vegetable garden, because it is near, next to my house; and for it I will give you a vineyard better than it. Or, if it is good in your eyes, I will give you its price in money.

(1 Kings 21:3) But Naboth said to Ahab, Jehovah forbid that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to you!

(1 Kings 21:4) So Ahab went into his house sullen and angry because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; for he had said, I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers. And he lay down on his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no food.

(1 Kings 21:5) And Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, Why is your spirit so sullen that you are not eating food?

(1 Kings 21:6) And he said to her, Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases you, I will give you another vineyard for it. And he answered, I will not give you my vineyard.

(1 Kings 21:7) And Jezebel his wife said to him, Do you now rule over Israel? Arise, eat food, and let your heart be joyful. I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.

(1 Kings 21:8) And she wrote letters in Ahab’s name, sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters to the elders and the nobles who were dwelling in the city with Naboth.

(1 Kings 21:9) She wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and seat Naboth at the head of the people;

(1 Kings 21:10) and seat two men, sons of worthlessness, before him to bear witness against him, saying, You have blasphemed God and the king. Then take him out, and stone him, that he may die.

(1 Kings 21:11) So the men of his city, the elders and nobles who were inhabitants of his city, did as Jezebel had sent to them, as it was written in the letters which she had sent to them.

(1 Kings 21:12) They proclaimed a fast, and seated Naboth at the head of the people.

(1 Kings 21:13) And two men, sons of worthlessness, came in and sat before him; and the men of worthlessness testified against him, against Naboth, before the people, saying, Naboth has blasphemed God and the king! Then they took him outside the city and stoned him with stones, so that he died.

(1 Kings 21:14) Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth has been stoned and is dead.

(1 Kings 21:15) And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you for money; for Naboth is not alive, but has died.

(1 Kings 21:16) So it was, when Ahab heard that Naboth had died, that Ahab got up and went down to take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.

(1 Kings 21:17) And the Word of Jehovah came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

(1 Kings 21:18) Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who lives in Samaria. Behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone down to take possession of it.

(1 Kings 21:19) And you shall speak to him, saying, Thus says Jehovah: Have you murdered and also taken possession? And you shall speak to him, saying, Thus says Jehovah: In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth, dogs shall lick your blood, even yours.

(1 Kings 21:20) So Ahab said to Elijah, Have you found me, O my enemy? And he answered, I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do evil in the eyes of Jehovah:

(1 Kings 21:21) Behold, I shall bring evil upon you. I shall take away your posterity, and shall cut off from Ahab in Israel everyone who urinates against a wall, both bond and free.

(1 Kings 21:22) I have delivered up your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, because of the provocation with which you have provoked Me to anger, and made Israel sin.

(1 Kings 21:23) And concerning Jezebel Jehovah also spoke, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.

(1 Kings 21:24) The dogs shall eat whoever of Ahab dies in the city, and the birds of the heavens shall eat whoever dies in the field.

(1 Kings 21:25) Surely there had not been one like Ahab who had sold himself to do wickedness in the eyes of Jehovah, which his wife Jezebel had instigated.

(1 Kings 21:26) And he did exceedingly abominably to follow after the idols, according to all that the Amorites had done, whom Jehovah had cast out before the children of Israel.

(1 Kings 21:27) So it was, when Ahab heard those words, that he tore his clothes and put sackcloth on his flesh, and fasted and lay in sackcloth, and walked about softly.

(1 Kings 21:28) And the Word of Jehovah came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

(1 Kings 21:29) Have you seen how Ahab has humbled himself before Me? Because he has humbled himself before Me, I will not bring about the evil in his days; but in the days of his son I will bring about the evil upon his house.

Return unto Him now, for His mercy endures forever…

(2 Kings 22:1) Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jedidah the daughter of Adaiah of Bozkath.

(2 Kings 22:2) And he did what was right in the eyes of Jehovah, and walked in all the ways of his father David; he did not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.

(2 Kings 22:3) And it came to pass, in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, that the king sent Shaphan the scribe, the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, to the house of Jehovah, saying:

(2 Kings 22:4) Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may count the money which has been brought into the house of Jehovah, which the doorkeepers have gathered from the people.

(2 Kings 22:5) And let them deliver it into the hand of those doing the work, who are the overseers in the house of Jehovah; let them give it to those who are in the house of Jehovah doing the work, to repair the breaches of the house;

(2 Kings 22:6) to the craftsmen and builders and masons; and to buy timber and hewn stone to repair the house.

(2 Kings 22:7) However there was no accounting made with them of the money delivered into their hand, because they were dealing faithfully.

(2 Kings 22:8) Then Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the scribe, I have found the Book of the Law in the house of Jehovah. And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it.

(2 Kings 22:9) And Shaphan the scribe came to the king and brought back word to the king, saying, Your servants have gathered the money found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of those who are doing the work, who oversee the house of Jehovah.

(2 Kings 22:10) And Shaphan the scribe reported to the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest has given me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.

(2 Kings 22:11) And it happened, when the king heard the Words of the Book of the Law, that he tore his clothes.

(2 Kings 22:12) And the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, Achbor the son of Michaiah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king’s servant, saying,

(2 Kings 22:13) Go, inquire of Jehovah for me, for the people and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that has been found; for great is the wrath of Jehovah that has been kindled against us, because our fathers have not obeyed the words of this book, to do according to all that is written concerning us.

(2 Kings 22:14) So Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe. (She dwelt in Jerusalem in the Second Quarter.) And they spoke with her.

(2 Kings 22:15) And she said to them, Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel, Tell the man who has sent you to Me,

(2 Kings 22:16) Thus says Jehovah: Behold, I am bringing evil upon this place and upon its inhabitants; all the Words of the Book which the king of Judah has read;

(2 Kings 22:17) because they have forsaken Me and burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke Me to anger with all the works of their hands. Therefore My wrath has been kindled against this place, and shall not be quenched.

(2 Kings 22:18) But as for the king of Judah who sent you to inquire of Jehovah, thus you shall say to him, Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel: Concerning the words which you have heard;

(2 Kings 22:19) because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before Jehovah when you heard what I have spoken against this place and against its inhabitants, that they would become a desolation and a curse, and you tore your clothes and wept before Me, I also have heard you, says Jehovah.

(2 Kings 22:20) Behold therefore, I will gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace; and your eyes shall not see all the evil that I am bringing upon this place. So they brought back word to the king.

(2 Kings 23:1) And the king sent them and they gathered all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem to him.

(2 Kings 23:2) And the king went up to the house of Jehovah with all the men of Judah, and with him all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; the priests and the prophets and all the people, both small and great. And he read in their ears all the Words of the Book of the Covenant which was found in the house of Jehovah.

(2 Kings 23:3) Then the king stood by the pillar and made a covenant before Jehovah, to follow Jehovah and to keep His commandments and His testimonies and His statutes, with all his heart and all his soul, to perform the Words of this covenant that were written in this Book. And all the people stood for the covenant.

(2 Kings 23:4) And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, the priests of the second order, and the doorkeepers, to bring out of the temple of Jehovah all the articles that were made for Baal, for the grove, and for all the host of the heavens; and he burned them outside Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried their ashes to Bethel.

(2 Kings 23:5) And he put an end to the idolatrous priests whom the kings of Judah had dedicated to burn incense on the high places in the cities of Judah and in the places all around Jerusalem, and those burning incense to Baal, to the sun, to the moon, to the zodiac, and to all the host of the heavens.

(2 Kings 23:6) And he brought out the grove from the house of Jehovah, to the Brook Kidron outside Jerusalem, burned it at the Brook Kidron and pulverized the ashes, and threw its ashes on the graves of the sons of the people.

(2 Kings 23:7) And he tore down the houses of the male temple prostitutes that were in the house of Jehovah, where the women were weaving shelters for the grove.

(2 Kings 23:8) And he brought all the priests from the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from Geba to Beer-sheba; also he broke down the high places at the gates which were at the entrance of the Gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were to one’s left of the city gate.

(2 Kings 23:9) Nevertheless the priests of the high places did not come up to the altar of Jehovah in Jerusalem, but they ate unleavened bread among their brethren.

(2 Kings 23:10) And he defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the children of the sons of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter pass through the fire to Molech.

(2 Kings 23:11) And he did away with the horses that the kings of Judah had dedicated to the sun, at the entrance to the house of Jehovah, by the chamber of Nathan-Melech, the official who was in the court; and he burned the chariots of the sun with fire.

(2 Kings 23:12) The altars that were on the roof of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of Jehovah, the king beat them down and ran and hurled their dust into the Brook Kidron.

(2 Kings 23:13) And the king defiled the high places that were east of Jerusalem, which were on the south of the mount of corruption, which Solomon king of Israel had built for Ashtaroth the abomination of the Sidonians, for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon.

(2 Kings 23:14) And he broke in pieces the sacred pillars and chopped down the groves, and filled their places with the bones of men.

(2 Kings 23:15) Moreover the altar that was at Bethel, and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat had made, by which he had made Israel to sin, both that altar and the high place he tore down; and he burned the high place and pulverized it to dust, and burned the grove.

(2 Kings 23:16) And as Josiah turned, he saw the tombs that were there on the mountain. And he sent and took the bones out of the tombs and burned them on the altar, and defiled it according to the Word of Jehovah which the man of God had proclaimed, who had proclaimed these things.

(2 Kings 23:17) Then he said, What monument is this that I see? And the men of the city said to him, It is the tomb of the man of God who came from Judah and proclaimed these things which you have done against the altar of Bethel.

(2 Kings 23:18) And he said, Let him alone; let no one disturb his bones. So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet that had come from Samaria.

(2 Kings 23:19) And Josiah also took away all the houses of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke to anger; and he did to them according to all the deeds he had done at Bethel.

(2 Kings 23:20) And he slaughtered all the priests of the high places who were there, on the altars, and burned men’s bones on them; and he returned to Jerusalem.

(2 Kings 23:21) And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the Passover to Jehovah your God, as it is written in this Book of the Covenant.

(2 Kings 23:22) Surely such a Passover had never been held since the days of the judges who judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel nor the kings of Judah.

(2 Kings 23:23) It was in the eighteenth year of King Josiah that this Passover was observed unto Jehovah in Jerusalem.

(2 Kings 23:24) Moreover Josiah put away the mediums and fortunetellers, the household images and idols, all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, that he might perform the Words of the Law which were written in the Book that Hilkiah the priest had found in the house of Jehovah.

(2 Kings 23:25) And before him there was no king like him, who turned to Jehovah with all his heart, with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the Law of Moses; nor after him has any arisen like him.

(Hebrews 3:1) Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the Heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus,

(Hebrews 3:2) who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was faithful in all His house.

(Hebrews 3:3) For this One has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as He who built the house has more honor than the house.

(Hebrews 3:4) For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God.

(Hebrews 3:5) And Moses indeed was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which would be spoken later,

(Hebrews 3:6) but Christ as a Son over His own house, whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.

(Hebrews 3:7) Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: Today, if you will hear His voice,

(Hebrews 3:8) do not harden your hearts as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness,

(Hebrews 3:9) where your fathers tested Me, proved Me, and saw My works forty years.

(Hebrews 3:10) Therefore I was angry with that generation, and said, They always go astray in their heart, and they have not known My ways.

(Hebrews 3:11) So I swore in My wrath, They shall not enter into My rest.

(Hebrews 3:12) Beware, brethren, that there not be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in withdrawing from the living God;

(Hebrews 3:13) but exhort one another daily, while it is called Today, that not any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

(Hebrews 3:14) For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold fast to the origin of our Foundation steadfast to the end,

(Hebrews 3:15) while it is said: Today, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the provocation.

(Hebrews 3:16) For some who came out of Egypt through Moses, however not all, having heard, provoked.

(Hebrews 3:17) Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness?

(Hebrews 3:18) And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey?

(Hebrews 3:19) So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

(Hebrews 4:1) Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear so that none of you should show evidence of falling short.

(Hebrews 4:2) For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it.

(Hebrews 4:3) For we who believe do enter into rest, as He has said: So I swore in My wrath, They shall not enter into My rest, although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

(Hebrews 4:4) For He has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day in this way: And God rested on the seventh day from all His works;

(Hebrews 4:5) and again in this place: They shall not enter My rest.

(Hebrews 4:6) Since therefore it remains for some to enter into it, and those to whom the gospel was first preached did not enter in because of disobedience,

(Hebrews 4:7) again He designates a certain day, saying in David, Today, after such a long time, as it has been said: Today, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.

(Hebrews 4:8) For if Joshua had given them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another day.

(Hebrews 4:9) There remains therefore a sabbath rest for the people of God.

(Hebrews 4:10) For he who has entered into His rest has himself also rested from his works as God did from His.

(Hebrews 4:11) Let us therefore be diligent to enter into that rest, that no one fall according to the same example of disobedience.

(Hebrews 4:12) For the Word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

(Hebrews 4:13) And there is no creature that is not revealed in His presence, but all things are naked and laid bare to the eyes of Him to whom we must give answer.

(Hebrews 4:14) Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

(Hebrews 4:15) For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.

(Hebrews 4:16) Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

As the Church!

In the name of Jesus we are boldly declaring:

We have returned unto our God!

(Hebrews 12:1) Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so persistently harasses us, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us,

(Hebrews 12:2) looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

(Hebrews 12:3) For consider Him who endured such opposition from sinners against Himself, that you not become weary and faint in your souls.

(Hebrews 12:4) You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin.

(Hebrews 12:5) And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are rebuked by Him.

(Hebrews 12:6) For whom the Lord loves He disciplines, and whips every son whom He receives.

(Hebrews 12:7) If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not discipline?

(Hebrews 12:8) But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons.

(Hebrews 12:9) Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?

(Hebrews 12:10) For they indeed for a few days disciplined us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness.

(Hebrews 12:11) Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been exercised by it.

(Hebrews 12:12) Therefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees,

(Hebrews 12:13) and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be turned aside, but rather be healed.

(Hebrews 12:14) Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord;

(Hebrews 12:15) watching carefully that no one fall short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and through this many become defiled;

(Hebrews 12:16) that there be no prostitute or profane person like Esau, who for one morsel of food gave away his birthright.

(Hebrews 12:17) For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears.

(Hebrews 12:18) For you have not come to the mountain that may be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness and darkness and tempest,

(Hebrews 12:19) and the sound of a trumpet and the voice of words, so that those who heard it begged that the word should not be spoken to them anymore.

(Hebrews 12:20) (For they could not endure what was commanded: And if so much as a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned or shot with an arrow.

(Hebrews 12:21) And so formidable was the sight that Moses said, I am in terror and trembling.)

(Hebrews 12:22) But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the Heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable multitude of angels,

(Hebrews 12:23) to the gathering and assembly of the firstborn who are registered in Heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made complete,

(Hebrews 12:24) to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.

(Hebrews 12:25) See to it that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from the One speaking from Heaven,

(Hebrews 12:26) whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also the heavens.

(Hebrews 12:27) Now this, Yet once more, indicates the removal of those things that are being overthrown, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be overthrown may remain.

(Hebrews 12:28) Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.

(Hebrews 12:29) For our God is a consuming fire.

(Hebrews 13:1) Let brotherly love continue.

(Hebrews 13:2) Do not forget hospitality, for by so doing some have unknowingly entertained angels.

(Hebrews 13:3) Remember the prisoners as if bound with them; and those who are mistreated, as also being in the body, yourselves.

(Hebrews 13:4) Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled; but prostitutes and adulterers God will judge.

(Hebrews 13:5) Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, By no means will I ever leave you nor ever forsake you.

(Hebrews 13:6) So we may boldly say: The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?

(Hebrews 13:7) Remember those in authority over you, who have spoken the Word of God to you. Observing the outworkings of their behavior, imitate their faith.

(Hebrews 13:8) Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever.

(Hebrews 13:9) Do not be carried about with various and strange doctrines. For it is good that the heart be established by grace, not with foods which have not profited those who have been occupied with them.

(Hebrews 13:10) We have an altar from which those who serve the tabernacle have no right to eat.

(Hebrews 13:11) For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned outside the camp.

(Hebrews 13:12) Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate.

(Hebrews 13:13) Therefore let us go forth to Him, outside the camp, bearing His reproach.

(Hebrews 13:14) For here we have no continuing city, but we seek the one to come.

(Hebrews 13:15) Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, confessing to His name.

(Hebrews 13:16) But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

(Hebrews 13:17) Obey those in authority over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you.

(Hebrews 13:18) Pray for us; for we are confident that we have a good conscience, in all things desiring to live honorably.

(Hebrews 13:19) But I especially urge you to do this, that I may be restored to you more quickly.

(Hebrews 13:20) Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,

(Hebrews 13:21) make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

(Hebrews 13:22) And I appeal to you, brethren, endure the word of exhortation, for I have written to you in few words.

(Hebrews 13:23) Know that our brother Timothy has been set free, with whom I shall see you if he comes shortly.

(Hebrews 13:24) Greet all those in authority over you, and all the saints. Those from Italy greet you.

(Hebrews 13:25) Grace be with you all. Amen.

We have the Oaths of God to backs us up! What the omnipotent power! Praise Him forever…

The Holy Scriptures is the Oaths of God! What a revelation! The Father is back up every Word which He declare in the Holy Scriptures-

(Hebrews 6:1) Therefore, leaving the discussion of the rudiments concerning Christ, let us move along to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,

(Hebrews 6:2) of the doctrine of immersion, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

(Hebrews 6:3) And this we will do if God permits.

(Hebrews 6:4) For it is impossible for those who at one time were given understanding, and have tasted the Heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit,

(Hebrews 6:5) and have tasted the good Word of God and the powers of the age to come,

(Hebrews 6:6) and also turn aside, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and expose Him to public disgrace.

(Hebrews 6:7) For the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it, and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated, receives blessing from God;

(Hebrews 6:8) but if it bears thorns and briars, it is unfit and near to being cursed; its end is to be burned up.

(Hebrews 6:9) But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, indeed, holding fast to salvation, though we speak in this manner.

(Hebrews 6:10) For God is not unjust, to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

(Hebrews 6:11) And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end,

(Hebrews 6:12) that you do not become slothful, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

(Hebrews 6:13) For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He had no one greater to swear by, He swore by Himself,

(Hebrews 6:14) saying, Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.

(Hebrews 6:15) And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

(Hebrews 6:16) For men indeed swear by the greater, and an oath for confirmation is for them an end of all dispute.

(Hebrews 6:17) Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, pledged it by an oath,

(Hebrews 6:18) that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us.

(Hebrews 6:19) This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters in within the veil,

(Hebrews 6:20) where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

As the Church!

In the name of Jesus we are boldly declaring:

We have the Oaths of God to backs us up! What the omnipotent power! Praise Him forever…

(Romans 8:1) There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

(Romans 8:2) For the Law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death.

(Romans 8:3) For what the Law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh; and on account of sin, He condemned sin in the flesh,

(Romans 8:4) that the righteous requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

(Romans 8:5) For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

(Romans 8:6) For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

(Romans 8:7) Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the Law of God, nor indeed can be.

(Romans 8:8) So then, those who are in the flesh are not able to please God.

(Romans 8:9) But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.

(Romans 8:10) And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

(Romans 8:11) But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also make your mortal bodies alive through His Spirit who dwells in you.

(Romans 8:12) Therefore, brethren, we are debtors; not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

(Romans 8:13) For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

(Romans 8:14) For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

(Romans 8:15) For you did not receive a spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, Abba, Father.

(Romans 8:16) The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,

(Romans 8:17) and if children, then heirs; heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.

(Romans 8:18) For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed unto us.

(Romans 8:19) For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.

(Romans 8:20) For the creation was subjected to vanity, not willingly, but through Him who subjected it in hope;

(Romans 8:21) because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

(Romans 8:22) For we know that the whole creation groans and travails together until now.

(Romans 8:23) Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.

(Romans 8:24) For we were saved by hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees?

(Romans 8:25) But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.

(Romans 8:26) Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

(Romans 8:27) Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to God.

(Romans 8:28) And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

(Romans 8:29) For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.

(Romans 8:30) Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.

(Romans 8:31) What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

(Romans 8:32) He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?

(Romans 8:33) Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.

(Romans 8:34) Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, but rather is also raised, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.

(Romans 8:35) Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall affliction, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

(Romans 8:36) As it is written: For Your sake we are killed all day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

(Romans 8:37) Yet in all these things we more than conquer through Him who loves us.

(Romans 8:38) For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,

(Romans 8:39) nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

(Romans 9:1) I tell the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience also bearing witness with me in the Holy Spirit,

(Romans 9:2) that I have great sorrow and continual grief in my heart.

(Romans 9:3) For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ on behalf of my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh,

(Romans 9:4) who are Israelites, to whom pertain the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the Law, the service of God, and the promises;

(Romans 9:5) of whom are the fathers and from whom, according to the flesh, is Christ, being God over all, blessed forever. Amen.

(Romans 9:6) Moreover, it is not as though the Word of God has fallen away. For not all those of Israel are Israel,

(Romans 9:7) nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, In Isaac your Seed shall be called.

(Romans 9:8) That is, those who are the children of flesh, these are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are accounted as seed.

(Romans 9:9) For this is the Word of promise: At this time I will come and Sarah shall have a son.

(Romans 9:10) And not only this, but when Rebecca also had conceived by one man, even by our father Isaac

(Romans 9:11) (for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of Him who calls),

(Romans 9:12) it was said to her, The elder shall serve the younger.

(Romans 9:13) As it is written, Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated.

(Romans 9:14) What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Let it not be!

(Romans 9:15) For He says to Moses, I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.

(Romans 9:16) So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy.

(Romans 9:17) For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I might show My power in you, and that My name might be declared in all the earth.

(Romans 9:18) Therefore He has mercy on whom He wills, and whom He wills He hardens.

(Romans 9:19) You will say to me then, Why does He yet find fault? For who has resisted His will?

(Romans 9:20) No, rather, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, Why have you made me like this?

(Romans 9:21) Does not the potter have authority over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel unto honor and another unto dishonor?

(Romans 9:22) What if God, determining to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath rendered fit unto destruction,

(Romans 9:23) and that He might make known the riches of His glory on vessels of mercy, which He had prepared beforehand unto glory,

(Romans 9:24) whom He also called, not only of us Jews, but also of the Gentiles?

(Romans 9:25) As He says also in Hosea: I will call them My people, who were not My people, and her beloved, who was not beloved.

(Romans 9:26) And it shall come to pass in the place where it was said to them, You are not My people, There they shall be called, Sons of the living God.

(Romans 9:27) Isaiah also cries out concerning Israel: Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant will be saved.

(Romans 9:28) For He is fulfilling the Word and executing it quickly in righteousness, because the Lord will quickly execute the Word upon the earth.

(Romans 9:29) And as Isaiah said before: Unless the Lord of Hosts had left us a seed, we would have become like Sodom, and we would have been made like Gomorrah.

(Romans 9:30) What shall we say then? That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have taken hold of righteousness, even the righteousness of faith;

(Romans 9:31) but Israel, pursuing the Law of righteousness, has not arrived at the Law of righteousness.

(Romans 9:32) Why? Because it was not by faith, but as out of works of the Law. For they stumbled at the stumbling stone.

(Romans 9:33) As it is written: Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offense, and everyone believing on Him will not be put to shame.

(Romans 10:1) Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is for them to be saved.

(Romans 10:2) For I bear witness of them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to full true knowledge.

(Romans 10:3) For they, being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God.

(Romans 10:4) For Christ is the end of the Law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

(Romans 10:5) For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the Law, The man who does those things shall live by them.

(Romans 10:6) But the righteousness of faith speaks in this manner, Do not say in your heart, Who will ascend into Heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down)

(Romans 10:7) or, Who will descend into the abyss? (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).

(Romans 10:8) But what does it say? The Word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart (that is, the Word of Faith which we preach):

(Romans 10:9) that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

(Romans 10:10) For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

(Romans 10:11) For the Scripture says, Everyone believing on Him will not be put to shame.

(Romans 10:12) For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich toward all who call upon Him.

(Romans 10:13) For everyone, whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

(Romans 10:14) How then shall they call on Him into whom they do not believe? And how shall they believe Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without preaching?

(Romans 10:15) And how shall they preach if they are not sent? As it is written: How beautiful are the feet of those preaching the gospel of peace, bringing glad tidings of good things.

(Romans 10:16) But they have not all obeyed the gospel, for Isaiah says, Lord, who believes our report?

(Romans 10:17) So then faith is of hearing, and hearing through the Word of God.

(Romans 10:18) But I say, have they not heard? Yes indeed: Their sound has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.

(Romans 10:19) But I say, did Israel not know? First Moses says: I will provoke you to jealousy by those who are not a nation, I will move you to anger by a foolish nation.

(Romans 10:20) But Isaiah is very bold and says: I was found by those who did not seek Me; I was made manifest to those not inquiring after Me.

(Romans 10:21) But to Israel he says: All day long I have stretched out My hands to a disobedient and contradicting people.

(Romans 11:1) I say then, has God cast away His people? Let it not be! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

(Romans 11:2) God has not cast away His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel, saying,

(Romans 11:3) Lord, they have killed Your prophets and torn down Your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life.

(Romans 11:4) But what does the Divine response say to him? I have reserved to Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.

(Romans 11:5) Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

(Romans 11:6) And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace no longer becomes grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.

(Romans 11:7) What then? Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained it, and the rest were hardened.

(Romans 11:8) Just as it is written: God has given them a spirit of deep sleep, eyes that they should not see and ears that they should not hear, to this very day.

(Romans 11:9) And David says: Let their table become a snare and a trap, and a stumbling block and a recompense to them.

(Romans 11:10) Let their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see, and bow down their back always.

(Romans 11:11) I say then, have they stumbled that they should come to an end? Let it not be! But through their trespass, to provoke them to jealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles.

(Romans 11:12) Now if their trespass is riches for the world; and their diminishing, riches for the Gentiles; how much more their fullness.

(Romans 11:13) For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry,

(Romans 11:14) if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and save some of them.

(Romans 11:15) For if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their reception be but life from the dead?

(Romans 11:16) For if the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches.

(Romans 11:17) And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree,

(Romans 11:18) do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.

(Romans 11:19) You will say then, The branches were broken off that I might be grafted in.

(Romans 11:20) Well, because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be highminded, but fear.

(Romans 11:21) For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either.

(Romans 11:22) Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: On those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.

(Romans 11:23) And they also, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.

(Romans 11:24) For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, who are natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree.

(Romans 11:25) For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, that you not be wise within yourselves, that hardness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles comes in.

(Romans 11:26) And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: The Deliverer will come out of Zion, and He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;

(Romans 11:27) for this is My covenant with them, when I take away their sins.

(Romans 11:28) Indeed, concerning the gospel they are enemies because of you, but concerning the election they are beloved because of the fathers.

(Romans 11:29) For the gifts and the calling of God are without regret.

(Romans 11:30) For as you were once disobedient to God, yet have now obtained mercy through their disobedience,

(Romans 11:31) even so these also have now been disobedient, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.

(Romans 11:32) For God has enclosed everyone in disobedience, that He might have mercy on each one.

(Romans 11:33) Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!

(Romans 11:34) For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has become His counselor?

(Romans 11:35) Or who has first given to Him and it shall be repaid to him?

(Romans 11:36) For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen.

No sales marketing in churches-Jesus is LORD!

Giving is the spiritual act of worship; it is so sacred; it is so holy! It is so beautiful! But many ministers have employed all the sales marketing method into churches, and have driven the beauty of giving out of the door, LORD have mercy!

(Romans 11:13) For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry,

(Romans 11:14) if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and save some of them.

(Romans 11:15) For if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their reception be but life from the dead?

(Romans 11:16) For if the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches.

(Romans 11:17) And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree,

(Romans 11:18) do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.

(Romans 11:19) You will say then, The branches were broken off that I might be grafted in.

(Romans 11:20) Well, because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be highminded, but fear.

(Romans 11:30) For as you were once disobedient to God, yet have now obtained mercy through their disobedience,

(Romans 11:31) even so these also have now been disobedient, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.

(Romans 11:32) For God has enclosed everyone in disobedience, that He might have mercy on each one.

(Romans 11:33) Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!

(Romans 11:34) For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has become His counselor?

(Romans 11:35) Or who has first given to Him and it shall be repaid to him?

(Romans 11:36) For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen.

(Romans 12:1) I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

(Romans 12:2) And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

As the Church!

In the name of Jesus we are boldly declaring:

No sales marketing in churches-Jesus is LORD!

(John 2:13) Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

(John 2:14) And He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the moneychangers sitting.

(John 2:15) And when He had made a whip out of rope, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers’ money and overturned the tables.

(John 2:16) And He said to those who sold doves, Take these things away from here! Do not make My Father’s house a house of merchandise!

(John 2:17) And His disciples remembered that it was written, Zeal for Your house has consumed Me.

(John 2:18) Then the Jews answered and said to Him, What sign do You show to us, since You do these things?

(John 2:19) Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

(John 2:20) Then the Jews said, It took forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?

(John 2:21) But He was speaking of the temple of His body.

(John 2:22) Therefore, when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this to them; and they believed the Scripture and the Word which Jesus had said.

Now the body of Jesus had been raise, the Church is His body!

(1 Corinthians 11:23) For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread;

(1 Corinthians 11:24) and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, Take, eat; this is My body which is broken on behalf of you; do this in remembrance of Me.

(1 Corinthians 11:25) In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the New Covenant in My blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.

(1 Corinthians 11:26) For as often as you may eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.

(1 Corinthians 11:27) Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

(1 Corinthians 11:28) But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

(1 Corinthians 11:29) For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not making a distinction regarding the Lord’s body.

(1 Corinthians 11:30) For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many have been put to death.

(1 Corinthians 11:31) For if we would discern ourselves, we would not be judged.

(1 Corinthians 11:32) But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

No sales marketing in the churches! Whatever is not out of faith is sin.

(2 Corinthians 9:6) But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

(2 Corinthians 9:7) So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not from sorrow or out of duty; for God loves a cheerful giver.

(2 Corinthians 9:8) And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in everything, may abound for every good work.

(2 Corinthians 9:9) As it is written: He has dispersed abroad, He has given to the poor; His righteousness endures forever.

(2 Corinthians 9:10) Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for eating, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness,

(2 Corinthians 9:11) while you are enriched in everything unto all sincerity, which causes thanksgiving through us to God.

(2 Corinthians 9:12) For the ministry of this service not only supplies what is lacking to the saints, but also is abounding through many thanksgivings to God,

(2 Corinthians 9:13) through the proof of this ministry, they glorify God for your professed obedience to the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal sharing with them and all men,

(2 Corinthians 9:14) and by their prayer for you, who long for you because of the surpassing grace of God in you.

(2 Corinthians 9:15) Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift.

We have the still small voice-the Word! We are appreciating!!!

Every time you wait patiently upon the Father by pray, the still small voice – the Word shall prevail over you, and break the bad imaginations; bad thoughts; bad dreams! The peace of God crushes satan under your feet, and you have the victory-

(1 Kings 18:1) And it came to pass after many days that the Word of Jehovah came to Elijah, in the third year, saying, Go, present yourself to Ahab, and I will send rain upon the face of the earth.

(1 Kings 18:2) So Elijah went to present himself to Ahab; and the famine was severe in Samaria.

(1 Kings 18:3) And Ahab summoned Obadiah, who was in charge of his house. (Now Obadiah feared Jehovah greatly.

(1 Kings 18:4) For so it was, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of Jehovah, that Obadiah had taken one hundred prophets and hidden them, fifty to a cave, and had fed them with bread and water.)

(1 Kings 18:5) And Ahab said to Obadiah, Go into the land to all the springs of water and to all the brooks; perhaps we may find grass to keep the horses and mules alive, so that we will not have to destroy any of the livestock.

(1 Kings 18:6) So they divided the land between them, to pass through it; Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.

(1 Kings 18:7) And as Obadiah was on his way, behold Elijah met him; and he recognized him, and fell on his face, and said, Is that you, my lord Elijah?

(1 Kings 18:8) And he answered him, It is I. Go, tell your master, Behold, Elijah is here.

(1 Kings 18:9) And he said, How have I sinned, that you are delivering your servant into the hand of Ahab, to kill me?

(1 Kings 18:10) As Jehovah your God lives, there is no nation or kingdom where my master has not sent someone to hunt for you; and when they said, He is not here, he took an oath from the kingdom or nation that they did not find you.

(1 Kings 18:11) And now you are saying, Go, tell your master, Behold Elijah is here!

(1 Kings 18:12) And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from you, that the Spirit of Jehovah will carry you to a place I do not know; so when I go and tell Ahab, and he cannot find you, he will kill me. But I your servant have feared Jehovah from my youth.

(1 Kings 18:13) Was it not reported to my lord what I did when Jezebel killed the prophets of Jehovah, how I hid one hundred men of the prophets of Jehovah, fifty to a cave, and fed them with bread and water?

(1 Kings 18:14) And now you say, Go, tell your master, Behold Elijah is here. He will kill me!

(1 Kings 18:15) And Elijah said, As Jehovah of Hosts lives, before whom I stand, I will surely present myself to him today.

(1 Kings 18:16) So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and reported to him; and Ahab went to meet Elijah.

(1 Kings 18:17) And it happened, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said to him, Is that you, O troubler of Israel?

(1 Kings 18:18) And he answered, I have not troubled Israel, but you and your father’s house have, in that you have forsaken the commandments of Jehovah and have gone after the Baals.

(1 Kings 18:19) Now therefore, send and gather all Israel to me on Mount Carmel, the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal, and the four hundred prophets of the groves, who eat at Jezebel’s table.

(1 Kings 18:20) So Ahab sent for all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together on Mount Carmel.

(1 Kings 18:21) And Elijah came to all the people, and said, How long will you be limping between two divided opinions? If Jehovah is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow after him. But the people answered him not a word.

(1 Kings 18:22) Then Elijah said to the people, I alone am left a prophet of Jehovah; but Baal’s prophets are four hundred and fifty men.

(1 Kings 18:23) Therefore let them give us two bulls; and let them choose one bull for themselves, cut it in pieces, and lay it on the wood, but put no fire under it; and I will prepare the other bull, and lay it on the wood, but put no fire under it.

(1 Kings 18:24) Then you call on the name of your gods, and I will call upon the name of Jehovah; and the god who answers by fire, He is God. So all the people answered and said, The word is good.

(1 Kings 18:25) And Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, Choose one bull for yourselves and prepare it first, for you are many; and call on the name of your god, but put no fire under it.

(1 Kings 18:26) So they took the bull which was given them, and they prepared it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even till noon, saying, O Baal, hear us! But there was no voice; no one answered. Then they leaped about the altar which they had made.

(1 Kings 18:27) And so it was, at noon, that Elijah mocked them and said, Cry aloud, for he is a god; either he is meditating, or he is busy, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is sleeping and must be awakened.

(1 Kings 18:28) So they cried aloud, and cut themselves, as was their custom, with knives and lances, until the blood gushed out on them.

(1 Kings 18:29) And when midday was past, they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice. But there was no voice; no one answered, no one paid attention.

(1 Kings 18:30) Then Elijah said to all the people, Come near to me. So all the people came near to him. And he repaired the altar of Jehovah that was broken down.

(1 Kings 18:31) And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the Word of Jehovah had come, saying, Israel shall be your name.

(1 Kings 18:32) And with the stones he built an altar in the name of Jehovah; and he made a trench around the altar large enough to hold two seahs of seed.

(1 Kings 18:33) And he put the wood in order, cut the bull in pieces, and laid it on the wood, and said, Fill four waterpots with water, and pour it on the burnt offering and on the wood.

(1 Kings 18:34) Then he said, Do it a second time, and they did it a second time; and he said, Do it a third time, and they did it a third time.

(1 Kings 18:35) And the water ran all around the altar; and he also filled the trench with water.

(1 Kings 18:36) And it came to pass, at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near and said, Jehovah the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known this day that You are God in Israel and I am Your servant, and that I have done all these things at Your Word.

(1 Kings 18:37) Testify, O Jehovah, testify, that this people may know that You are Jehovah God, and that You have turned their hearts around back to You.

(1 Kings 18:38) Then the fire of Jehovah fell and consumed the burnt offering, and the wood and the stones and the dust, and it licked up the water that was in the trench.

(1 Kings 18:39) And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces; and they said, Jehovah, He is God! Jehovah, He is God!

(1 Kings 18:40) And Elijah said to them, Seize the prophets of Baal! Do not let one of them escape! So they seized them; and Elijah brought them down to the Brook Kishon and slaughtered them there.

(1 Kings 18:41) And Elijah said to Ahab, Go up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of abundance of rain.

(1 Kings 18:42) So Ahab went up to eat and drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he bowed down on the ground, and put his face between his knees,

(1 Kings 18:43) and said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. So he went up and looked, and said, There is nothing. And seven times he said, Go back.

(1 Kings 18:44) And it came to pass the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there is a cloud, as small as a man’s hand, rising out of the sea! So he said, Go up, say to Ahab, Prepare your chariot, and go down before the rain stops you.

(1 Kings 18:45) And it happened in the meantime that the sky became black with clouds and wind, and there was a heavy rain. So Ahab rode away and went to Jezreel.

(1 Kings 18:46) And the hand of Jehovah came upon Elijah; and he girded up his loins and ran ahead of Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.

(1 Kings 19:1) And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, also how he had killed all the prophets with the sword.

(1 Kings 19:2) And Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.

(1 Kings 19:3) And when he saw that, he arose and ran for his life, and came to Beer-sheba of Judah, and left his servant there.

(1 Kings 19:4) But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a broom tree. And he requested for his soul that he might die, and said, It is enough! Now, Jehovah, take my life, for I am no better than my fathers!

(1 Kings 19:5) And as he lay and slept under a broom tree, behold an angel touched him, and said to him, Arise and eat.

(1 Kings 19:6) And he looked, and behold, by his head was a cake baked on coals, and a jar of water. So he ate and drank, and turned and lay down.

(1 Kings 19:7) And the Angel of Jehovah came back the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you.

(1 Kings 19:8) And he arose, and ate and drank; and he went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights as far as Horeb, the mountain of God.

(1 Kings 19:9) And there he came into a cave, and spent the night there; and behold, the Word of Jehovah came to him, and He said to him, What are you doing here, Elijah?

(1 Kings 19:10) And he said, I have been very zealous for Jehovah the God of Hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I alone am left; and they seek my soul, to take it away.

(1 Kings 19:11) And He said, Go out, and stand on the mountain before Jehovah. And behold, Jehovah passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before Jehovah, but Jehovah was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but Jehovah was not in the earthquake;

(1 Kings 19:12) and after the earthquake a fire, but Jehovah was not in the fire; and after the fire a whisper of a small voice.

(1 Kings 19:13) And so it was, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave; and behold, a voice came to him, and said, What are you doing here, Elijah?

(1 Kings 19:14) And he said, I have been very zealous for Jehovah the God of Hosts; because the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I alone am left; and they seek my soul, to take it away.

(1 Kings 19:15) And Jehovah said to him: Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus; and when you have come there, anoint Hazael as king over Syria.

(1 Kings 19:16) Also you shall anoint Jehu the son of Nimshi as king over Israel. And Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel Meholah you shall anoint as prophet in your place.

(1 Kings 19:17) It shall be that whoever escapes the sword of Hazael, Jehu shall kill; and whoever escapes the sword of Jehu, Elisha shall kill.

(1 Kings 19:18) Yet I have left in Israel seven thousand, all whose knees have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

As the Church!

In the name of Jesus we are boldly declaring:

We have the still small voice-the Word! We are appreciating!!!

(Matthew 4:1) Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

(Matthew 4:2) And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry.

(Matthew 4:3) And when the tempter came to Him, he said, If You are the Son of God, speak that these stones may become bread.

(Matthew 4:4) But He answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that comes forth from the mouth of God.

(Matthew 4:4) But He answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that comes forth from the mouth of God.

(Matthew 4:5) Then the devil takes Him up into the holy city, and sets Him on the wing of the temple,

(Matthew 4:6) and says to Him, If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written: He shall give His angels charge concerning you, and, in their hands they shall bear you up, that you may not dash your foot against a stone.

(Matthew 4:7) Jesus said to him, It is written again, You shall not tempt the Lord your God.

(Matthew 4:8) Again, the devil takes Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and shows Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.

(Matthew 4:9) And he says to Him, All these things I will give to You if You will fall down and do homage to me.

(Matthew 4:10) Then Jesus said to him, Go away, Satan! For it has been written, You shall do homage to the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.

(Matthew 4:11) Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.

(2 Corinthians 10:1) Now I, Paul, myself am pleading with you by the meekness and fairness of Christ; who in presence am lowly among you, but being absent am bold toward you.

(2 Corinthians 10:2) But I beseech you that when I am present I may not be bold with that confidence by which I figure on being bold against some, who think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.

(2 Corinthians 10:3) For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.

(2 Corinthians 10:4) For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God for pulling down strongholds,

(2 Corinthians 10:5) casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity unto the obedience of Christ,

(2 Corinthians 10:6) and being ready to avenge all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.

(2 Corinthians 10:7) Do you look at things according to the outward appearance? If anyone is convinced in himself that he is Christ’s, let him again consider this in himself, that just as he is Christ’s, even so we are Christ’s.

(2 Corinthians 10:8) For even if I should boast somewhat more about our authority, which the Lord gave us for edification and not for your destruction, I shall not be ashamed;

(2 Corinthians 10:9) so that I may not seem to frighten you by letters.

(2 Corinthians 10:10) For his letters, they say, are weighty and powerful, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech of no account.

(2 Corinthians 10:11) Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word through letters when we are absent, such we are also in deed when we are present.

(2 Corinthians 10:12) For we dare not class ourselves or compare ourselves with those who commend themselves. But they, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.

(2 Corinthians 10:13) We, however, will not boast beyond measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God distributed to us; a measure which reaches even unto you.

(2 Corinthians 10:14) For we are not overextending ourselves (as though not extending to you), for we also came as far as to you with the gospel of Christ;

(2 Corinthians 10:15) not boasting of things beyond measure, that is, in other men’s labors, but having hope, that as your faith is growing, according to our rule, being greatly enlarged to overflowing,

(2 Corinthians 10:16) in order to preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another’s measure of accomplishment.

(2 Corinthians 10:17) But he who glories, let him glory in the Lord.

(2 Corinthians 10:18) For not he who commends himself is approved, but whom the Lord commends.

(Romans 16:17) Now I exhort you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and snares, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and turn away from them.

(Romans 16:18) For those who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple.

(Romans 16:19) For your obedience has reached to everyone. Therefore I rejoice over you. But I want you to be wise unto what is good, and simple toward evil.

(Romans 16:20) And the God of peace will trample Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

(Romans 16:21) Timothy, my fellow worker, and Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen, greet you.

(Romans 16:22) I, Tertius, who wrote this epistle, greet you in the Lord.

(Romans 16:23) Gaius, my host and the host of the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the treasurer of the city, greets you, and Quartus, a brother.

(Romans 16:24) The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

(Romans 16:25) Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept silent since the world began,

(Romans 16:26) but now has been made manifest, and by the prophetic Scriptures has been made known to all nations, according to the commandment of the eternal God, for obedience to the faith;

(Romans 16:27) to God, alone wise, be glory through Jesus Christ forever. Amen.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! The still small voice of God- the Word shall prevail all over the whole earth-

(Psalms 46:1) God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

(Psalms 46:2) Therefore we will not fear when the earth changes, when mountains are slipping into the midst of the seas.

(Psalms 46:3) Let its waters roar and foam; let the mountains shake with the swelling of it. Selah.

(Psalms 46:4) There is a river whose streams cause rejoicing in the city of God, the consecrated place of the tabernacle of the Most High.

(Psalms 46:5) God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God shall help her at the break of day.

(Psalms 46:6) The nations raged, the kingdoms were shaken; He uttered His voice, the earth melted.

(Psalms 46:7) Jehovah of Hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

(Psalms 46:8) Come, behold the works of Jehovah, who has made desolations on the earth;

(Psalms 46:9) who makes wars to cease to the ends of the earth; He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two; He burns the chariots in the fire.

(Psalms 46:10) Be still, and know that I am God! I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!

(Psalms 46:11) Jehovah of Hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

We have received the outcome of our faith- our Joy overflows…

When you know what you are in Christ, your Joy overflows…

(1 Peter 1:1) Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the sojourners of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

(1 Peter 1:2) elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.

(1 Peter 1:3) Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

(1 Peter 1:4) to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in Heaven for you,

(1 Peter 1:5) who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

(1 Peter 1:6) In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials,

(1 Peter 1:7) that the testing of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found unto praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ,

(1 Peter 1:8) whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him yet, believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory,

(1 Peter 1:9) receiving the outcome of your faith; the salvation of your souls.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

As the Church!

In the name of Jesus we are boldly declaring:

We have received the outcome of our faith- our Joy overflows…

(Philippians 3:1) Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. For me to write the same things to you is not tedious, but for you it is safe.

(Philippians 3:2) Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision!

(Philippians 3:3) For we are the circumcision, who serve God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and do not trust in the flesh,

(Philippians 3:4) though I also might have confidence in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he may have confidence in the flesh, I more so:

(Philippians 3:5) circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; according to the Law, a Pharisee;

(Philippians 3:6) concerning zeal, persecuting the church; concerning the righteousness which is in the Law, blameless.

(Philippians 3:7) But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss because of Christ.

(Philippians 3:8) But no, rather, I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as refuse, that I may gain Christ

(Philippians 3:9) and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the Law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;

(Philippians 3:10) that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,

(Philippians 3:11) if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

(Philippians 3:12) Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold, since Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.

(Philippians 3:13) Brethren, I do not count myself to have laid hold; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and stretching forward to those things which are ahead,

(Philippians 3:14) I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

(Philippians 3:15) Therefore let us, as many as are complete, be of this mind; and if in anything you think differently, God will reveal even this to you.

(Philippians 3:16) Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us be of the same mind.

(Philippians 3:17) Brethren, join in being imitators of me, and note those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern.

(Philippians 3:18) For many conduct themselves, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are enemies of the cross of Christ:

(Philippians 3:19) whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and who glory in their shame; who set their mind on earthly things.

(Philippians 3:20) For our citizenship is in Heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,

(Philippians 3:21) who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subject all things to Himself.

(Philippians 4:1) Therefore, my beloved and longed-for brethren, my joy and crown, so stand firm in the Lord, beloved.

(Philippians 4:2) I implore Euodia and I implore Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord.

(Philippians 4:3) And I urge you also, true yoke-fellow, help these women who labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life.

(Philippians 4:4) Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I say, rejoice!

(Philippians 4:5) Let your fairness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.

(Philippians 4:6) Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

(Philippians 4:7) and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

(Philippians 4:8) Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy; think on these things.

(Philippians 4:9) The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, do these, and the God of peace will be with you.

(Philippians 4:10) But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last your care for me has flourished again, though you surely did care, but you lacked opportunity.

(Philippians 4:11) Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content.

(Philippians 4:12) I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in everything I am taught both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to lack.

(Philippians 4:13) I have strength for all things in Christ who strengthens me.

(Philippians 4:14) Nevertheless you have done well that you shared in my distress.

(Philippians 4:15) Now you Philippians know also that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church shared with me concerning giving and receiving but you only.

(Philippians 4:16) For even in Thessalonica you sent aid once and again for my necessities.

(Philippians 4:17) Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that abounds to your account.

(Philippians 4:18) Indeed I have all and abound. I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things sent from you, a sweet-smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God.

(Philippians 4:19) And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

(Philippians 4:20) Now to our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.

(Philippians 4:21) Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me greet you.

(Philippians 4:22) All the saints greet you, but especially those who are of Caesar’s household.

(Philippians 4:23) The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
