GRACE UPON GRACE

COLOSSIANS 4:2-5 CONTINUE IN PRAYER,  AND WATCH IN THE SAME WITH THANKSGIVING;  WITHAL PRAYING ALSO FOR US,  THAT GOD WOULD OPEN  UNTO US  A DOOR OF UTTERANCE ,  TO SPEAK THE MYSTERY OF CHRIST ,  FOR WHICH I AM ALSO IN BONDS:  THAT I MAY  MAKE IT MANIFEST,  AS I OUGHT TO  SPEAK. WALK IN WISDOM  TOWARD THEM THAT ARE WITHOUT , REDEEMING TIME .  LET YOUR SPEECH BE  ALWAYS WITH GRACE,  SEASONED WITH SALT ;  THAT YE MAY KNOW  HOW YE OUGHT  TO ANSWER EVERY MAN.  LOVE

Revelations 6:5-6   AND WHEN HE HAD OPENED  THE THIRD SEAL ,  I HEARD  THE  THIRD  BEAST SAY, COME AND SEE.  AND I BEHELD,  AND LO  A BLACK HORSE;  AND HE THAT SAT ON HIM  A PAIR OF BALANCES IN HIS HAND.  AND I HEARD A VOICE IN THE MIDST   OF THE FOUR BEASTS SAY ,  A MEASURE OF WHEAT FOR A PENNY,   AND  THREE  MEASURES  OF BARLEY FOR A PENNY;  AND SEE THOU  HURT NOT THE OIL  AND THE WINE.  LOVE

ISAIAH 61:1-3 THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME; BECAUSE THE LORD HATH ANNOINTED ME  TO PREACH THE GOOD TIDINGS  UNTO THE MEEK;  HE HATH SENT ME  TO BIND UP  THE BROKENHEARTED,  TO PROCLAIM LIBERTY TO THE CAPTIVES,  AND THE OPENING OF THE PRISON  TO THEM THAT ARE BOUND; TO PROCLAIM  THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR  OF THE LORD,  AND THE DAY OF VENGEANCE  OF OUR LORD GOD;  TO COMFORT  ALL THAT MOURN;  TO APPOINT  UNTO THEM  THAT MOURN IN ZION,  TO GIVE  THEM BEAUTY FOR ASHES,  THE OIL OF JOY FOR MOURNING,  THE GARMENT OF PRAISE  FOR THE SPIRIT OF HEAVINESS;  THAT THEY MIGHT BE CALLED TREES  OF RIGHTEOUSNESS,  THE PLANTING OF THE LORD,  THAT HE MIGHT BE GLORIFIED. LOVE

EPHESIANS 1:7-14 IN WHOM WE HAVE REDEMPTION  THROUGH HIS  BLOOD,  THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS, ACCORDING TO THE  RICHES OF HIS GRACE; WHEREIN HE HATH  ABOUNDED TOWARD US IN ALL  WISDOM AND PRUDENCE;  HAVING MADE KNOWN UNTO US  THE MYSTERY OF HIS WILL,  ACCORDING TO HIS GOOD PLEASURE  WHICH HE HATH PURPOSED IN HIMSELF: THAT IN  THE DISPENSATION OF THE  FULNESS OF TIMES HE MIGHT GATHER  TOGETHER IN ONE ALL THINGS IN CHRIST,  BOTH WHICH ARE  IN HEAVEN,  AND WHICH ARE ON EARTH;  EVEN IN HIM: IN WHOM ALSO WE HAVE OBTAINED  AN INHERITANCE,  BEING PREDESTINATED ACCORDING TO THE PURPOSE OF HIM  WHO WORKETH ALL THINGS AFTER THE COUNSEL OF HIS OWN WILL: THAT WE SHOULD BE TO THE PRAISE OF HIS GLORY,   WHO FIRST TRUSTED IN CHRIST. IN WHOM YE ALSO TRUSTED,  AFTER THAT YE HEARD  THE WORD OF TRUTH, THE GOSPEL OF YOUR SALVATION: IN WHOM ALSO AFTER THAT  YE BELIEVED,  YE WERE ...

HEBREWS 4:1-10 FOR WE WHICH HAVE BELIEVED DO ENTER INTO REST,  AS HE SAID, AS I HAVE  SWORN IN MY WRATH, IF THEY SHALL ENTER  INTO MY REST:  ALTHOUGH THE WORKS  WERE FINISHED  FROM  THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD.  FOR HE SPAKE IN A CERTAIN PLACE  OF THE SEVENTH DAY ON THIS WISE,  AND GOD DID REST THE SEVENTH DAY FROM ALL HIS WORKS. AND IN THIS PLACE AGAIN, IF THEY SHALL ENTER INTO  MY REST. SEEING THEREFORE IT REMAINETH THAT  SOME MUST ENTER THEREIN, AND THEY TO WHOM  IT WAS FIRST PREACHED  ENTERED NOT IN BECAUSE  OF UNBELIEF: AGAINHE LIMITETH  A CERTAIN DAY,  SAYING IN DAVID,   TO DAY, AFTER SO LONG A TIME;  AS IT IS SAID, TO DAY  IF YE WILL HEAR HIS VOICE, HARDEN NOT YOUR HEARTS. FOR IF JESUS HAD GIVEN THEM REST, THEN WOULD HE NOT AFTERWARDS HAVE SPOKEN OF ANOTHER DAY.  THERE REMAINETH  THEREFORE A REST TO  THE PEOPLE OF GOD.  FOR HE THAT ENTERED INTO HIS REST,...

JOB 11:7-20    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? THE MEASURE THEREOF  IS LONGER THAN THE EARTH, AND BROADER THAN THE SEA. IF HE CUT OFF, AND SHUT UP,  OR GATHER TOGETHER, THEN WHO CAN HINDER HIM? FOR HE KNOWETH VAIN MEN:  HE SEETH  WICKEDNESS ALSO;  WILL HE NOT THEN CONSIDER IT? FOR VAIN MEN WOULD BE WISE, THOUGH MAN BE BORN  LIKE A WILD ASS'S COLT. IF THOU PREPARE THINE HEART, AND  STRETCH OUT THINE  HANDS TOWARD HIM; IF INIQUITY BE IN THINE HAND,  PUT IT FAR AWAY,  AND LET NOT WICKEDNESS DWELL IN THY TABERNACLES. FOR THEN SHALT THOU LIFT UP THY FACE WITHOUT  SPOT, YEA, THOU SHALT BE STEDFAST, AND SHALT NOT FEAR: BECAUSE THOU SHALT FORGET  THY MISERY, AND REMEMBER IT AS  WATERS THAT PASS AWAY. AND THINE AGE SHALL BE CLEARER THAN THE NOONDAY: THOU SHALT SH...

Psalm 55:16-22   AS FOR ME,  I WILL CALL UPON GOD;  AND  THE LORD SHALL SAVE ME.   EVENING ,   AND MORNING , AND AT NOON ,  WILL I PRAY     AND CRY ALOUD: AND HE SHALL HEAR MY VOICE. HE HATH DELIVERED MY SOUL  IN PEACE FROM THE BATTLE  THAT WAS AGAINST ME:  FOR THERE WERE MANY WITH ME.  GOD SHALL HEAR,  AND  AFFLICT THEM,  EVEN HE THAT ABIDETH OF OLD.  SELAH.  BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO CHANGES,  THEREFORE THEY FEAR NOT GOD.  HE HATH PUT FORTH HIS HANDS  AGAINST SUCH  AS BE AT PEACE WITH HIM: HE HATH BROKEN HIS COVENANT.  THE WORDS OF HIS MOUTH WERE SMOOTHER THAN BUTTER, BUT WAR WAS IN HIS HEART: HIS WORDS WERE SOFTER THAN OIL, YET WERE DRAWN SWORDS. CAST THY BURDEN UPON THE LORD, AND  HE SHALL SUSTAIN THEE:   HE SHALL NEVER SUFFER THE RIGHTEOUS TO BE MOVED. Love

GALATIANS 5:1-10   STAND FAST THEREFORE IN THE LIBERTY  WHEREWITH CHRIST HATH MADE US  FREE , AND BE NOT ENTANGLED  AGAIN  WITH THE YOKE OF BONDAGE.  BEHOLD,  I PAUL SAY UNTO YOU,  THAT IF YE BE CIRCUMCISED,  CHRIST SHALL PROFIT YOU NOTHING. FOR  I TESTIFY   AGAIN   TO EVERY MAN THAT IS CIRCUMCISED,  THAT HE IS A DEBTOR  TO DO THE WHOLE LAW. CHRIST IS BECOME OF  NO EFFECT UNTO YOU,  WHOSOEVER OF YOU  ARE JUSTIFIED BY THE LAW;  YE ARE FALLEN FROM GRACE. FOR WE THROUGH THE SPIRIT  WAIT FOR THE HOPE  OF RIGHTEOUSNESS  BY FAITH.    FOR IN JESUS CHRIST NEITHER CIRCUMCISION  AVAILETH ANY THING,  NOR UNCIRCUMCISION;  BUT FAITH WHICH WORKETH  BY LOVE.  YE DID RUN WELL;  WHO DID HINDER YOU THAT YE SHOULD NOT  OBEY THE TRUTH? THIS PERSUASION  COMETH NOT OF ...

ROMANS 8:24-30 FOR WE ARE SAVED BY HOPE:  BUT HOPE THAT IS SEEN IS NOT HOPE:  FOR WHAT A MAN SEETH,  WHY DOTH HE YET HOPE FOR? BUT IF WE HOPE FOR THAT WE SEE NOT, THEN DO WE WITH  PATIENCE WAIT FOR IT.  LIKEWISE  THE SPIRIT ALSO HELPETH  OUR INFIRMITIES: FOR WE KNOW NOT  WHAT WE SHOULD PRAY FOR AS WE OUGHT: BUT THE SPIRIT ITSELF MAKETH INTERCESSION FOR US WITH  GROANINGS  WHICH CANNOT BE UTTERED. AND HE THAT SEARCHETH THE HEARTS  KNOWETH WHAT IS IN THE MIND OF THE SPIRIT, BECAUSE HE MAKETH  INTERCESSION FOR THE SAINTS  ACCORDING TO THE WILL OF GOD.  AND WE KNOW THAT  ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER  FOR GOOD TO THEM THAT LOVE GOD, TO THEM  WHO ARE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE. FOR WHOM HE DID FOREKNOW,  HE ALSO DID  PREDSTINATE TO BE  CONFORMED TO THE IMAGE OF HIS SON, THAT HE MIGHT BE  THE FIRSTBORN AMOUNG MANY BRETHREN. MOREOVER WHOM HE DID  PREDESTINATE, THEM HE ALSO CALLED:...

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

Proverbs 4:1-13 HEAR, YE CHILDREN, THE INSTRUCTION OF A FATHER, AND  ATTEND TO KNOW UNDERSTANDING.  FOR I GIVE YOU  GOOD DOCTRINE,  FORSAKE NOT MY LAW.  FOR I WAS MY FATHER'S SON,  TENDER AND ONLY BELOVED  IN THE SIGHT OF MY MOTHER. HE TAUGHT ME ALSO,  AND SAID  UNTO ME,  LET THINE HEART  RETAIN MY WORDS:   KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS.    AND LIVE.   GET WISDOM,   GET UNDERSTANDING   FORGET IT NOT;  NEITHER DECLINE FROM  THE WORDS OF MY MOUTH.   FORSAKE HER NOT,  AND SHE SHALL  PRESERVE THEE:  LOVE HER,  AND SHE SHALL  KEEP THE.  WISDOM IS THE PRINCIPAL THING;    THEREFORE GET WISDOM:  AND WITH THY GETTING  GET UNDERSTANDING.  EXALT HER,  AND  SHE SHALL  PROMOTE THEE:  SHE SHALL  BRING THEE TO HONOUR,  WHEN THOU DOST  EMBRAC...

LUKE 21:8-19   AND HE SAID,  TAKE HEED THAT YE BE NOT DECEIVED:  FOR MANY SHALL COME IN MY NAME,  SAYING, I AM CHRIST;  AND THE TIME DRAWETH NEAR:  GO YE NOT THEREFORE AFTER THEM.  BUT WHEN YE SHALL HEAR  OF WARS AND COMMOTIONS,  BE NOT TERRIFIED:  FOR THESE THINGS MUST  FIRST COME TO PASS;  BUT THE END IS NOT BY AND BY.    THEN SAID HE UNTO THEM NATION SHALL RISE AGAINST NATION,  AND KINGDOM AGAINST KINGDOM:  AND  GREAT EARTHQUAKES  SHALL BE   IN DIVERS, PLACES,  AND FAMINES, AND PESTILENCES;  AND FEARFUL SIGHTS  AND  GREAT SIGNS  SHALL THERE  BE FROM HEAVEN. BUT BEFORE ALL THESE,   THEY SHALL LAY THEIR HANDS ON YOU,   AND PERSECUTE YOU,   DELIVERING YOU UP  TO THE SYNAGOGUES,  AND INTO PRISONS, BEING BROUGHT BEFORE  KINGS AND RULERS  FOR MY NAME'S SAKE.
