This one thing I do forgetting
those things which are behind I press toward the mark for the
prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus Philippians
chapter 3 verse 13 and 14 Father I will that they whom
thou has given me be with me where I am that they may behold
my glory which thou has given me I know whom I have believed,
and I am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have
committed unto him against that day. He which hath begun a good
work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. Know
ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth
the prize? So run that ye may obtain. And every man that striveth for
the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain
a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible crown. Let us lay
aside every weight and the sin which doth so easily beset us
and let us run with patience the race that is set before us
looking unto Jesus. The Lord, he it is that doth
go before thee, he will be with thee, he will not fail thee. Deuteronomy chapter 31 verse
8 If thy presence go not with me,
carry us not up hence. O Lord, I know that the way of
man is not in himself, it is not in man that walketh to direct
his steps. The steps of a good man are ordered
by the Lord, and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he
shall not be utterly cast down, for the Lord upholdeth him with
his hand. I am continually with thee. Thou
hast holden me by my right hand. Thou shalt guide me with thy
counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. I am persuaded that
neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor
powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor
depth, nor any other creature shall be able to separate us
from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new song
Isaiah chapter 42 verse 10 Sing aloud unto God our strength. Make a joyful noise unto the
God of Jacob. Take a psalm and bring hither
the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery. He hath put
a new song in my mouth. Even praise unto our God. Many shall see it and fear and
shall trust in the Lord. Be strong and of a good courage. Be not afraid. Neither be thou
dismayed, for the Lord thy God is with thee, withersoever thou
goest. The joy of the Lord is your strength. Paul thanked God and took courage. Knowing the time, that now it
is high time to awake out of sleep. For now is our salvation
nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day
is at hand. Let us therefore cast off the
works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let
us walk honestly as in the day, not in rioting and drunkenness,
not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying, but
put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the
flesh to fulfill the lusts thereof. Let my prayer be set forth before
thee as incense and the lifting up of my hands as the evening
sacrifice. Psalm 141 verse 2 thou shalt make an altar to burn
incense upon and thou shalt put it before the veil that is by
the ark of the testimony before the mercy seat that is over the
testimony where I will meet with thee and Aaron shall burn thereon
sweet incense every morning and when Aaron lighteth the lamps
at even he shall burn incense upon it a perpetual incense before
the Lord throughout your generations Jesus is able to save them to
the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth
to make intercession for them. The smoke of the incense, which
came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God
out of the angel's hand. ye also as lively stones are
built up a spiritual house and holy priesthood to offer up spiritual
sacrifices acceptable to God by Jesus Christ pray without
ceasing He led them forth by the right
way Psalm 107 verse 7 He found Jacob in a desert land,
and in the waste, howling wilderness. He led him about, he instructed
him, he kept him as the apple of his eye. As an eagle stirreth
up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her
wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings, so the Lord alone
did lead him. Even to your old age I am he,
and even to whore hairs will I carry you. I have made and
I will bear, even I will carry and will deliver you. He restoreth
my soul. He leadeth me in the paths of
righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through
the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou
art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort
me. The Lord shall guide thee continually,
and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones. And thou shalt be like a watered
garden, like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. For this God is our God forever
and ever. He will be our guide even unto
death. Who teacheth like him? we which have believed to enter
into rest Hebrews chapter 4 verse 3 they weary themselves to commit
iniquity I see another law in my members warring against the
law of my mind and bringing me into captivity to the law of
sin which is in my members oh wretched man that I am who shall
deliver me from the body of this death Come unto me, all ye that
labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Being justified
by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
by whom also we have access by faith unto this grace wherein
we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. He that
is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own
works. Not having mine own righteousness,
which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of
Christ, the righteousness which is of God, by faith. This is
the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest, and this is
the refreshing, Set a watch, O Lord, before my
mouth, keep the door of my lips. Psalm 141 verse 3. If thou, Lord, shouldst mark
iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? They provoked his spirit,
so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips. Not that which
goeth into the mouth defileth a man, but that which cometh
out of the mouth, this defileth a man. A whisperer separateth
chief friends. There is that speaketh like the
piercings of a sword, but the tongue of the wise is health. The lip of truth shall be established
for ever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment. The tongue
can no man tame. It is an unruly evil, full of
deadly poison. Out of the same mouth proceedeth
blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought
not so to be. Put off anger, wrath, malice,
blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. Lie not one
to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his
deeds. This is the will of God, even
your sanctification. In their mouth was found no guile. Let the beauty of the Lord our
God be upon us, and establish thou the work of our hands. Psalm
90 verse 17. Thy renown went forth among the
heathen for thy beauty, for it was perfect through my comeliness
which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord God. We all, with open
face, beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed
into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit
of the Lord. The Spirit of glory and of God
resteth upon you. Blessed is every one that feareth
the Lord, that walketh in his ways. For thou shalt eat the
labour of thine hands. Happy shalt thou be, and it shall
be well with thee. Commit thy works unto the Lord,
and thy thoughts shall be established. Work out your own salvation with
fear and trembling, for it is God which worketh in you, both
to will and to do of his good pleasure. Our Lord Jesus Christ
himself and God, even our Father, which hath loved us and given
us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, comfort
your hearts and establish you in every good word and work. The apostles gathered themselves
together unto Jesus and told him all things they had done. Mark chapter 6 verse 30. There
is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. The Lord spake
unto Moses face to face as a man speaketh unto his friend. ye
are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call
you not servants, for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth.
But I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard
of my father I have made known unto you. When ye shall have
done all those things which I commanded you, say, We are unprofitable
servants. Ye have not received the spirit
of bondage again to fear, but ye have received the spirit of
adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. In everything, by prayer
and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known
unto God. The prayer of the upright is
his delight. Think upon me, my God, for good. Nehemiah chapter 5 verse 19. Thus saith the Lord, I remember
thee, the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals,
when thou wentest after me in the wilderness. I will remember
my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will
establish unto thee an everlasting covenant. I will visit you and
perform my good word toward you. For I know the thoughts that
I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace and not
of evil, to give you an expected end. As the heavens are higher
than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my
thoughts than your thoughts. I would seek unto God, and unto
God would I commit my cause, which doeth great things, and
unsearchable, marvelous things, without number. Many, O Lord
my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy
thoughts which are to usward. They cannot be reckoned up in
order unto thee. If I would declare and speak
of them, they are more than can be numbered. I will not fail thee nor forsake
thee Joshua chapter 1 verse 5 There failed not ought of any
good thing which the Lord had spoken unto the house of Israel.
All came to pass. God is not a man that he should
lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. Hath he said,
and shall he not do it? Or hath he spoken, and shall
he not make it good? The Lord thy God, he is God,
the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them
that love him. He will ever be mindful of his
covenant. Can a woman forget her sucking
child that she should not have compassion on the son of her
womb? Yea, they may forget. Yet will
I not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon
the palms of my hands. The Lord thy God in the midst
of thee is mighty. He will save. He will rejoice
over thee with joy. He will rest in his love. He will joy over thee with singing. They that know thy name will
put their trust in thee. For thou, Lord, hast not forsaken
them that seek thee. Psalm 9 verse 10. The name of
the Lord is a strong tower. The righteous runneth into it,
and is safe. I will trust and not be afraid,
for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song. He also is become
my salvation. I have been young, and now am
old. Yet have I not seen the righteous
forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. For the Lord loveth judgment,
and forsaketh not his saints. They are preserved for ever,
but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. The Lord will not
forsake his people for his great name's sake, because it hath
pleased the Lord to make you his people. who delivered us
from so great a death, and doth deliver, in whom we trust that
he will yet deliver us. Be content with such things as
ye have, for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake
thee, so that we may boldly say, the Lord is my helper. I will
not fear what man shall do unto me. thou has given a banner to them
that fear thee that it may be displayed because of the truth
Psalm 60 verse 4 Jehovah Nissi the Lord my banner When the enemy
shall come in like a flood, the spirit of the Lord shall lift
up a standard against him. We will rejoice in thy salvation,
and in the name of our God we will set up our banners. The
Lord hath brought forth our righteousness. Come, and let us declare in Zion
the work of the Lord our God. We are more than conquerors through
him that loved us. Thanks be to God which giveth
us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ the captain of their
salvation. My brethren, be strong in the
Lord and in the power of his might. Valiant for the truth. Fight the Lord's battles. Be strong, all ye people of the
land, saith the Lord, and work, fear ye not. Lift up your eyes,
and look on the fields, for they are white already to harvest. Yet a little while, and he that
shall come, will come, and will not tarry. thou hast given a banner to them
that fear thee that it may be displayed because of the truth
Psalm 60 verse 4 Jehovah Nissi the Lord my banner when the enemy
shall come in like a flood the spirit of the Lord shall lift
up a standard against him we will rejoice in thy salvation
and in the name of our God we will set up our banners the Lord
hath brought forth our righteousness come and let us declare in Zion
the work of the Lord our God We are more than conquerors through
him that loved us. Thanks be to God which giveth
us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ the captain of their
salvation. My brethren, be strong in the
Lord and in the power of his might. Valiant for the truth. Fight the Lord's battles. Be strong, all ye people of the
land, saith the Lord, and work. Fear ye not. lift up your eyes
and look on the fields for they are white already to harvest
yet a little while and he that shall come will come and will
not tarry one thing is needful Luke chapter
10 verse 42 there be many that say who will show us any good
Lord lift out up the light of thy countenance upon us thou
has put gladness in my heart more than in the time that their
corn and their wine increased As the heart panteth after the
water brooks, So panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth
for God, for the living God. O God, thou art my God. Early will I seek thee. My soul
thirsteth for thee. My flesh longeth for thee in
a dry and thirsty land where no water is. I am the bread of
life. He that cometh to me shall never
hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. Lord, evermore give us this bread. Mary sat at Jesus' feet and heard
his word. One thing have I desired of the
Lord that will I seek after that I may dwell in the house of the
Lord all the days of my life to behold the beauty of the Lord
and to inquire in his temple. I pray God your whole spirit
and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of
our Lord Jesus Christ 1 Thessalonians chapter 5 verse 23 Christ loved
the church and gave himself for it that he might present it to
himself a glorious church not having spot or wrinkle or any
such thing but that it should be holy and without blemish whom
we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all
wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. The peace of God passeth all
understanding. Let the peace of God rule in
your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body. Our Lord Jesus Christ himself
and God, even our Father, which hath loved us and hath given
us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, comfort
your hearts, establish you in every good word and work. who shall also confirm you unto
the end that he may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus
Christ. Will God in very deed dwell with
men on the earth? Let them make me a sanctuary,
that I may dwell among them. I will meet with the children
of Israel, and the tabernacle shall be sanctified by my glory. And I will dwell among the children
of Israel, and will be their God. Thou hast ascended on high. Thou hast led captivity captive. Thou hast received gifts for
men. Yea, for the rebellious also,
that the Lord God might dwell among them. Ye are the temple
of the living God, as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and
walk in them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Your body is the temple of the
Holy Ghost which is in you. Ye are builded together for an
habitation of God through the Spirit. The heathen shall know
that I the Lord do sanctify Israel when my sanctuary shall be in
the midst of them forevermore. Praise waiteth for thee, O God,
in Sion. Psalm 65 verse 1. To us there
is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in
him, and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we
by him. All men should honour the Son,
even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son,
honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. By him, therefore,
let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually. That is the fruit of our lips,
giving thanks to his name. Whoso offereth praise, glorifieth
me. And to him that ordereth his
conversation aright, Will I show the salvation of God? I beheld
and lo a great multitude which no man could number of all nations
and kindreds and people and tongues stood before the throne and before
the Lamb clothed with white robes and palms in their hands and
cried with a loud voice saying Salvation to our God which sitteth
upon the throne and unto the Lamb Amen. Blessing and glory
and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be
unto our God forever and ever. Amen. Who redeemeth thy life from destruction? Psalm 103 verse 4. Their Redeemer
is strong. The Lord of hosts is his name.
I will ransom them from the power of the grave. I will redeem them
from death. O death, I will be thy plagues. O grave, I will be thy destruction. as the children are partakers
of flesh and blood he also himself likewise took part of the same
that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death
that is the devil and deliver them who through fear of death
were all their lifetime subject to bondage He that believeth
on the Son hath everlasting life. And he that believeth not the
Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him. Ye are dead, and your life is
hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life,
shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. when he shall come to be glorified
in his saints and to be admired in all them that believe. The only wise God our Savior. Jude verse 25. Christ Jesus who
of God is made unto us wisdom and righteousness and sanctification
and redemption. Canst thou by searching find
out God? Canst thou find out the Almighty
unto perfection? It is as high as heaven, what
canst thou do? Deeper than hell, what canst
thou know? We speak the wisdom of God in
a mystery, even the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the
world unto our glory. the mystery which from the beginning
of the world has been hid in God who created all things by
Jesus Christ to the intent that now unto the principalities and
powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold
wisdom of God if any of you lack wisdom Let him ask of God that
giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not, and it shall
be given him. The wisdom that is from above
is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated,
full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without
hypocrisy. Thou wilt keep him in perfect
peace, whose mind is stayed on thee. Isaiah chapter 26, verse
3. Cast thy burden upon the Lord,
and he shall sustain thee. He shall never suffer the righteous
to be moved. I will trust and not be afraid,
for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song. He also is become
my salvation. Why are ye fearful, O ye of little
faith? Be careful for nothing, but in
everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests
be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth
all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through
Christ Jesus. In quietness and in confidence
shall be your strength. The effect of righteousness shall
be quietness and assurance for ever. Peace I leave with you,
my peace I give unto you. Not as the world giveth, give
I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled,
neither let it be afraid. Peace from him which is, and
which was, and which is to come. Let not the sun go down upon
your wrath. Ephesians chapter 4 verse 26 If thy brother shall trespass
against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him
alone. If he shall hear thee, thou hast
gained thy brother. Lord, how oft shall my brother
sin against me, and I forgive him, till seven times? Jesus
saith unto him, I say not unto thee until seven times, but until
seventy times seven. When ye stand praying, forgive,
if ye have ought against any, that your Father also, which
is in heaven, may forgive you your trespasses. Put on, therefore,
as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness,
humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering, forbearing one
another, and forgiving one another, If any man have a quarrel against
any, even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. Be kind one to another, tender-hearted,
forgiving one another, even as God, for Christ's sake, hath
forgiven you. The apostles said unto the Lord,
Increase our faith. my father is greater than I John
chapter 14 verse 28 When he pray, say, Our Father
which art in heaven, my Father and your Father, my God and your
God. As the Father gave me commandment,
even so I do. The words that I speak unto you
I speak not of myself, but the Father that dwelleth in me, he
doeth the works. The Father loved the Son, and
hath given all things into his hand. thou hast given him power
over all flesh that he should give eternal life to as many
as thou hast given him. Lord show us the father and it
sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him Have I been
so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip?
He that hath seen me hath seen the Father. And how sayest thou
then, Show us the Father? Believest thou not that I am
in the Father, and the Father in me? I and my Father are one. As the Father hath loved me,
so have I loved you. continue ye in my love if you
keep my commandments you shall abide in my love even as I have
kept my father's commandments and abide in his love The woman's seed shall bruise
thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. Genesis chapter 3 verse
15 His visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more
than the sons of men. He was wounded for our transgressions,
he was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement of our peace
was upon him, and with his stripes we are healed. This is your hour
and the power of darkness. Thou couldest have no power at
all against me except it were given thee from above. The Son
of God was manifested that he might destroy the works of the
devil. He cast out many devils and suffered
not the devils to speak because they knew him. All power is given
unto me in heaven and in earth. In my name shall they cast out
devils. The God of peace shall bruise
Satan under your feet shortly. My soul cleaveth unto the dust,
quicken thou me according to thy word. Psalm 119 verse 25. If ye be risen with Christ, seek
those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right
hand of God. Set your affection on things
above, not on things on the earth, for your life is hid with Christ
in God. Our conversation is in heaven,
from whence also we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like
unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is
able even to subdue all things unto himself. The flesh lusteth
against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh. And these
are contrary the one to the other, so that he cannot do the things
that he would. Brethren, we are debtors, not
to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the
flesh, ye shall die. But if ye, through the spirit,
do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. Dearly beloved,
I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly
lusts which war against the soul. The measure of faith. Romans
chapter 12 verse 3. Him that is weak in the faith,
strong in faith, giving glory to God. O thou of little faith,
wherefore didst thou doubt? Great is thy faith, be it unto
thee even as thou wilt. Believe ye that I am able to
do this, they said unto him, Yea, Lord, according to your
faith, be it unto you. Lord, increase our faith. Building up yourselves on your
most holy faith, rooted and built up in him and established in
the faith. He which establisheth us with
you in Christ is God, the God of all grace. After that ye have
suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle
you. We that are strong ought to bear
the infirmities of the weak and not to please ourselves. Let
us not judge one another, but judge this rather, that no man
put a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in his brother's way. It pleased the Father that in
him should all fullness dwell. Colossians chapter 1 verse 19 The Father loveth the Son, and
hath given all things into his hand. God hath highly exalted
him, and given him a name which is above every name, that at
the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven,
and things in earth, and things under the earth, and that every
tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory
of God the Father. far above all principality, and
power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named,
not only in this world, but also in that which is to come. By
Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that
are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions,
or principalities, or powers, all things were created by Him
and for Him. Christ both died and rose and
revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. And ye are complete in him which
is the head of all principality and power. Of his fullness have
all we received. Thou hast in love to my soul
delivered it from the pit of corruption Isaiah chapter 38
verse 17 God sent his only begotten son
into the world that we might live through him. Herein is love,
not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his son
to be the propitiation for our sins. Who is a God like unto
thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression
of the remnant of his heritage? He retaineth not his anger for
ever, because he delighteth in mercy. He will turn again. He will have compassion upon
us. He will subdue our iniquities,
and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea. O Lord my God, I cried unto thee. and thou hast healed me. O Lord,
thou hast brought up my soul from the grave. Thou hast kept
me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. When my soul
fainted within me, I remembered the Lord, and my prayer came
in unto thee, into thine holy temple. I waited patiently for
the Lord. He brought me up, out of an horrible
pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock. The things which are. Revelation
chapter 1 verse 19. Now we see through a glass darkly. Now we see not yet all things
put under him. We have a more sure word of prophecy,
whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that
shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn and the day star
arise in your hearts. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet
and a light unto my path. Beloved, remember ye the words
which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,
how that they told you there should be mockers in the last
time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. The Spirit
speaketh expressly that in the latter times some shall depart
from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines
of devils. Little children, it is the last
time. The night is far spent. The day
is at hand. Let us therefore cast off the
works of darkness and let us put on the armor of light. Him that was to come Romans chapter
5 verse 14 Jesus made a little lower than
the angels for the suffering of death that he by the grace
of God should taste death for every man one died for all as
by one man's disobedience many were made sinners so by the obedience
of one shall many be made righteous The first man, Adam, was made
a living soul. The last Adam was made a quickening
spirit. That was not first, which is
spiritual, but that which is natural, and afterward, that
which is spiritual. God said, let us make man in
our image, after our likeness. So God created man in his own
image. In the image of God, created
he him. God hath in these last days spoken
unto us by his Son the brightness of his glory and the express
image of his person. Thou hast given him power over
all flesh. The first man is of the earth,
earthy. The second man is the Lord from
heaven. As is the earthy, such are they
also that are earthy. And as is the heavenly, such
are they also that are heavenly. Things which shall be hereafter. Revelation chapter 1 verse 19. As it is written, I have not
seen nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man
the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God
hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit. The Spirit of truth
will show you things to come. Behold, he cometh with clouds,
And every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him.
And all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even
so, amen. I would not have you to be ignorant,
brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not,
even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that
Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus
will God bring with him. For the Lord himself shall descend
from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and
with the trump of God. And the dead in Christ shall
rise first. Then we which are alive and remain
shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the
Lord in the air. And so shall we ever be with
the Lord. Serving the Lord with all humility
of mind. Acts chapter 20 verse 19. Whosoever will be great among
you, let him be your minister. And whosoever will be chief among
you, let him be your servant, even as the Son of Man came not
to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life
a ransom for many. If a man think himself to be
something when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. I say,
through the grace given unto me, to every man not to think
of himself more highly than he ought to think. But to think
soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure
of faith. When ye shall have done all those
things which I commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants. We have done that which was our
duty to do. Our rejoicing is this, that in
simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but
by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world. We have this treasure in earthen
vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God and
not of us. His name shall be called wonderful. Isaiah chapter 9 verse 6 The Word was made flesh and dwelt
among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten
of the Father, full of grace and truth. Thou hast magnified
Thy Word above all Thy name. They shall call his name Immanuel,
which, being interpreted, is God with us, Jesus, for he shall
save his people from their sins. All men should honor the Son,
even as they honor the Father. God hath highly exalted him,
and given him a name which is above every name. far above all
principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every
name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that
which is to come, and hath put all things under his feet. He had a name written that no
man knew, but he himself, King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. Touching the Almighty, we cannot
find him out. What is his name, and what is
his son's name, if thou canst tell? The Lord's portion is his people. Deuteronomy chapter 32 verse
9. Ye are Christ's and Christ is
God's. I am my beloved's and his desire
is toward me. I am his. The Son of God loved
me and gave himself for me. Ye are not your own, ye are bought
with a price. Therefore glorify God in your
body and in your spirit, which are God's. The Lord hath taken
you and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, even out
of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as ye are this
day. Ye are God's husbandry, ye are
God's building, Christ as a Son over His own house, whose house
are we, if we hold fast the confidence and rejoicing of the hope, firm
unto the end, a spiritual house, and holy priesthood. They shall
be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my
jewels. All mine are thine, and thine
are mine, and I am glorified in them. The glory of his inheritance
in the saints.
