GRACE UPON GRACE

Psalm 44:4-8   THOU ART MY KING, O GOD : command deliverances of Jacob. THROUGH THEE WILL WE PUSH DOWN OUR ENEMIES:   THROUGH THY NAME WILL WE TREAD  THEM UNDER THAT RISE AGAINST US.   FOR I WILL NOT TRUST IN MY BOW,  NEITHER SHALL MY SWORD SAVE ME.    BUT THOU HAST SAVED US FROM OUR ENEMIES,  AND HAST PUT THEM TO SHAME THAT HATED US.    IN GOD WE BOAST ALL THE DAY LONG,   AND PRAISE THY NAME FOR EVER, SELAH LOVE  

Isaiah 43:16-21 THUS SAITH THE LORD, WHICH MAKETH A WAY IN THE SEA, A PATH IN THE MIGHTY WATERS; WHICH BRINGETH FORTH THE CHARIOT AND HORSE,  THE ARMY AND THE POWER; THEY SHALL LIE DOWN TOGETHER, THEY SHALL NOT RISE: THEY ARE EXTINCT,  THEY ARE QUENCHED AS TOW. REMEMBER YE NOT THE FORMER THINGS,  NEITHER CONSIDER THE THINGS OF OLD. BEHOLD, I WILL DO A NEW THING;  NOW IT SHALL SPRING FORTH;  SHALL YE NOT KNOW IT?  I WILL EVEN   MAKE A WAY IN  THE WILDERNESS,  AND RIVERS IN THE DESERT.  THE BEAST OF THE FIELD  SHALL HONOUR ME, THE DRAGONS AND THE OWLS:   BECAUSE I GIVE WATERS IN THE WILDERNESS, AND RIVERS  IN THE DESERT  TO GIVE DRINK TO MY PEOPLE, MY CHOSEN.  THIS PEOPLE I FORMED FOR MYSELF;  THEY SHALL SHEW FORTH MY PRAISE. LOVE

Luke 6:27-40 But I say unto you  which hear ,  Love your enemies,  do good to them which hate you,   Bless them that curse you,  and pray for  them which despitefully use you. And  unto him that smiteth  thee on the one cheek  offer also the other;  and him that taketh away  thy cloak  forbid not to take thy coat also.   Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.   And as ye would that men should do to you,  do ye also to them likewise. For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. And if ye do good to them which do good to you,  what thank have ye?  for sinners also do even the same.   And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. But love ye your enemies,  an...

Revelation 3:8-13   I know thy works:  behold, I have set before thee   AN OPEN DOOR, and   NO MAN CAN SHUT IT :  FOR THOU HAST A LITTLE STRENGTH  and hast   KEPT MY WORD ,  and hast  NOT DENIED MY NAME   Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie;  behold,  I WILL MAKE THEM  COME TO WORSHIP BEFORE THY FEET,   AND TO KNOW THAT I HAVE LOVED THEE.   Because thou hast kept the word of my patience ,  I also will keep thee from  THE HOUR OF TEMPTATION,   WHICH SHALL COME UPON ALL THE WORLD ,  TO TRY THEM THAT DWELL UPON THE EARTH . Behold,  I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast,   that no man take thy crown .   HIM THAT OVERCOMETH will I make A PILLAR in the temple OF MY GOD,   A N D HE S HALL GO  NO MORE OUT :  a...

Job 10:7-13      Thou knowest that I am not wicked,    and there is none that can deliver out of thine hand .  Thine hands have made me   fashioned me together round about ;    yet thou dost destroy me .  Remember, I beseech thee,    that thou has made me as the clay ;   and wilt thou bring me into dust again?  Hast thou not poured me out as milk,   and curdled me like cheese?    Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh,   and hast fenced me with bones and sinews .  THOU HAST GRANTED ME  LIFE AND FAVOUR ,  AND  THY VISITATION  HATH PRESERVED MY SPIRIT .  And these things hast thou hid in thine heart:  I know that this is with thee. Love 

2 Corinthians 3:1-18  Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you? YE ARE OUR EPISTLE WRITTEN IN OUR HEARTS, KNOWN AND READ OF ALL MEN: Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared  to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us,  WRITTEN NOT WITH INK ,  BUT WITH  THE SPIRIT OF THE LIVING GOD;  NOT IN TABLES OF STONE,    BUT IN FLESHLY TABLES OF THE HEART   And such trust have we through   Christ to God-ward :   Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; Who also hath made us   ABLE MINISTERS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT;    NOT OF THE LETTER, BUT OF THE SPIRIT: FOR THE LETTER KILLETH,    BUT THE SPIRIT GIVETH LIFE.   But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, ...

JUDE 1:19 THESE BE THEY WHO SEPARATE THEMSELVES SENSUAL, HAVING NOT THE SPIRIT. LOVE

Psalms 42:5-11   Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me?  HOPE THOU IN GOD :   for I shall yet   PRAISE HIM FOR THE HELP  OF HIS COUNTENANCE. O my God, my soul is cast down within me:  therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan,  and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar. DEEP CALLETH UNTO DEEP   at the noise of thy water spouts :  ALL THY WAVES AND THY BILLOWS ARE GONE OVER ME . YET the Lord will COMMAND HIS LOVING-KINDNESS in the day time,  and in the night HIS SONG SHALL BE with me ,  and my prayer unto the God of my life . I will say unto God my rock , Why hast thou forgotten me?  why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy ? As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me,   WHERE IS THY GOD? Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquiete...

Luke 22:29-37   AND I APPOINTED UNTO YOU A KINGDOM,  as my Father hath appointed unto me ;   That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom,   and sit on THRONES judging the twelve tribes of Israel . And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold,  Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat :   but I have PRAYED for THEE, that THY FAITH FAIL NOT :    and   WHEN THOU ART CONVERTED,   STRENGTHEN THY BRETHREN .   And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee,  both into prison, and to death.   And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day,  before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.   And he said unto them,   When I sent you without purse, and scrip,  and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said,   NOTHING .   Then said he unto them,   But now , ...

JAMES 4:1-8   FROM WHENCE COME  WARS AND FIGHTING AMONG YOU?  COME THEY NOT HENCE, EVEN OF YOUR LUSTS  THAT WAR IN YOUR MEMBERS? YE LUST, AND HAVE NOT:  YE KILL, AND DESIRE TO HAVE,  AND CANNOT OBTAIN:  YE FIGHT AND WAR, YET   YE HAVE NOT,  BECAUSE YE ASK NOT. YE ASK,  AND  RECEIVE NOT,  BECAUSE YOU ASK AMISS,  THAT YE MAY CONSUME IT  UPON YOUR LUSTS.  YE ADULTERERS AND ADULTERESSES, KNOW YE NOT THAT THE FRIENDSHIP OF THE WORLD IS ENMITY WITH GOD? WHOSOEVER THEREFORE  WILL BE  A FRIEND OF THE WORLD  IS THE ENEMY OF GOD.    DO YOU THINK  THAT THE SCRIPTURE  SAITH IN VAIN,  THE SPIRIT  THAT DWELLETH IN US  LUSTETH TO ENVY?    BUT HE GIVETH MORE GRACE WHEREFORE HE HATH SAITH,  GOD RESISTETH THE PROUD,  BUT GIVETH GRACE  UNTO THE HUMBLE.   SUBMIT YOURSELF ...
