GRACE UPON GRACE

1 CORINTHIANS 7:20-24 LET EVERY MAN  ABIDE IN THE SAME  CALLING WHEREIN  HE WAS CALLED.   ART THOU CALLED  BEING A SERVANT?  CARE NOT FOR IT:  BUT IF THOU MAYEST  BE MADE FREE,  USE IT RATHER.  FOR HE THAT IS  CALLED  IN THE LORD,  BEING A SERVANT,  IS  THE LORD'S FREEMAN:  LIKEWISE ALSO  HE THAT IS CALLED,  BEING FREE,  IS  CHRIST'S SERVANT.  YE ARE BOUGHT WITH A PRICE,  BE NOT YE  THE SERVANTS OF MEN.   BRETHREN,  LET EVERY MAN,  WHEREIN  HE IS CALLED,  THEREIN  ABIDE WITH GOD.   LOVE  

LUKE 24:36-40   AND  AS  THEY THUS SPAKE,   JESUS  HIMSELF  STOOD  IN  THE MIDST OF THEM,  AND  SAITH UNTO THEM,  PEACE BE UNTO YOU.  BUT THEY WERE  TERRIFIED AND AFFRIGHTED,  AND  SUPPOSED  THAT THEY HAD SEEN  A SPIRIT.  AND  HE SAID UNTO THEM,  WHY ARE YE TROUBLED?  AND  WHY DO THOUGHTS  ARISE IN YOUR HEARTS?  BEHOLD MY  HANDS AND MY FEET,  THAT  IT IS I MYSELF:  HANDLE ME,  AND  SEE;  FOR  A  SPIRIT HATH  NOT FLESH AND BONES,  AS  YE SEE ME HAVE.  AND  WHEN HE HAD  THUS SPOKEN,  HE SHEWED THEM  HIS  HANDS AND HIS FEET.   AND  WHILE THEY YET  BELIEVED  NOT FOR  JOY AND WONDERED,  HE SAID UNTO THEM,  HAVE YE HERE  ANY MEAT?   ...

PROVERBS 2:11-17 DISCRETION  SHALL PRESERVE THEE, UNDERSTANDING  SHALL KEEP THEE: TO DELIVER THEE FROM THE WAY OF THE EVIL MAN, FROM THE MAN  THAT SPEAKETH FROWARD THINGS; WHO LEAVE THE PATHS OF UPRIGHTNESS, TO WALK IN THE WAYS OF DARKNESS; WHO REJOICE TO DO EVIL, AND DELIGHT  IN  THE FROWARDNESS OF THE WICKED; WHOSE WAYS ARE CROOKED, AND THEY FROWARD IN THEIR PATHS: TO DELIVER THEE FROM THE STRANGE WOMAN, EVEN FROM THE STRANGER WHICH FLATTERETH WITH  HER WORDS; WHICH FORSAKETH THE GUIDE OF HER YOUTH, AND FORGETTETH THE COVENANT OF HER GOD.   LOVE

PSALM 62:7-12 IN  GOD  IS  MY SALVATION AND MY GLORY:  THE ROCK  OF  MY STRENGTH,  AND  MY REFUGE,  IS  IN GOD.   TRUST  IN HIM  AT  ALL TIMES;  YE PEOPLE,  POUR OUT YOUR HEART  BEFORE HIM:  GOD  IS A  REFUGE FOR US.  SELAH.   SURELY  MEN OF LOW DEGREE  ARE VANITY,  AND  MEN OF HIGH DEGREE  ARE A LIE:  TO BE LAID IN THE BALANCE,  THEY ARE ALTOGETHER  LIGHTER  THAN VANITY.  TRUST NOT IN OPPRESSION,  AND  BECOME  NOT VAIN IN ROBBERY:   IF RICHES INCREASE,  SET NOT YOUR HEART  UPON THEM.  GOD HATH SPOKEN  ONCE; TWICE  HAVE I HEARD THIS;  THAT  POWER  BELONGETH  UNTO  GOD. ALSO UNTO THEE,  O LORD,  BELONGETH MERCY:  FOR  THOU RENDEREST...

ISAIAH 50:4-11 THE LORD GOD HATH GIVEN ME THE TONGUE OF THE LEARNED, THAT I SHOULD KNOW HOW TO SPEAK A WORD IN SEASON TO HIM THAT IS WEARY: HE WAKENETH MORNING BY MORNING, HE WAKENETH MINE EAR TO HEAR AS THE LEARNED. THE LORD GOD HATH OPENED MINE EAR, AND I WAS NOT REBELLIOUS, NEITHER TURNED AWAY BACK. I GAVE MY BACK TO THE SMITERS, AND MY CHEEKS TO THEM THAT PLUCKED OFF THE HAIR: I HID NOT MY FACE FROM SHAME AND SPITTING. FOR THE LORD GOD WILL HELP ME; THEREFORE SHALL I NOT BE CONFOUNDED: THEREFORE HAVE I SET MY FACE LIKE A FLINT, AND I KNOW THAT I SHALL NOT BE ASHAMED. HE IS NEAR THAT JUSTIFIETH ME; WHO WILL CONTEND WITH ME? LET US STAND TOGETHER: WHO IS MINE ADVERSARY? LET HIM COME NEAR ME. BEHOLD THE LORD GOD WILL HELP ME; WHO IS HE THAT SHALL CONDEMN ME? LO, THEY ALL SHALL WAX OLD AS A GARMENT; THE MOTH  SHALL EAT THEM UP. WHO IS AMONG YOU  THAT FEARETH THE LORD,  THAT OBEYETH  THE VOICE OF HIS SERVANT,  THAT  WALKETH IN DARKN...

ISAIAH 14:5-6 THE LORD  HATH BROKEN  THE STAFF OF THE WICKED,  AND  THE SCEPTRE OF THE RULERS.  HE WHO SMOTE  THE PEOPLE IN WRATH  WITH  A CONTINUAL STROKE,  HE THAT RULETH  THE NATIONS IN ANGER,  IS  PERSECUTED,  AND  NONE HINDERTH. THE WHOLE  EARTH  IS AT REST,  AND  IS QUIET:  THEY BREAK FORTH  INTO SINGING.  YEA,  THE FIR TREES  REJOICE AT THEE,  AND  THE CEDARS OF LEBANON,  SAYING,  SINCE  THOU ART LAID  DOWN,  NO FELLER  IS COME UP  AGAINST ME.   LOVE

LAMENTATIONS 2:16-17 THY PROPHETS HAVE SEEN VAIN AND FOOLISH THINGS FOR THEE: AND THEY HAVE NOT DISCOVERED THINE INIQUITY, TO TURN AWAY THY CAPTIVITY; BUT HAVE SEEN FOR THEE FALSE BURDENS AND CAUSE OF BANISHMENT. ALL THAT PASS BY CLAP THEIR HANDS AT THEE; THEY HISS AND WAG THEIR HEAD AT THE DAUGHTER OF JERUSALEM, SAYING, IS THIS THE CITY THAT MEN CALL THE PERFECTION OF BEAUTY, THE JOY OF THE WHOLE EARTH? ALL THINE ENEMIES HAVE OPENED THEIR MOUTH AGAINST THEE: THEY HISS AND GNASH THE TEETH: THEY SAY, WE HAVE SWALLOWED HER UP: CERTAINLY THIS IS THE DAY THAT WE LOOKED FOR; WE HAVE FOUND, WE HAVE SEEN IT. THE LORD HATH DONE THAT WHICH HE HAD DEVISED; HE HATH FULFILLED HIS WORD THAT HE HAD COMMANDED IN THE DAYS OF OLD: HE HATH THROWN DOWN, AND HATH NOT PITIED: AND HE HATH CAUSED THINE ENEMY TO REJOICE OVER THEE, HE HATH SET UP THE HORN OF THINE ADVERSARIES.       LOVE

FATHER, I AM HUNGRY AND I AM THIRSTY. ALL POWER IS IN HIS HANDS. GIVE ME THE BREAD OF LIFE AND  THE LIVING WATER. GIVE ME JESUS. LOVE

LUKE 17:32-37 REMEMBER LOT'S WIFE.  WHOSOEVER  SHALL  SEEK TO SAVE  HIS  LIFE SHALL LOSE IT;  AND  WHOSOEVER SHALL  LOSE HIS LIFE SHALL  PRESERVE IT. I TELL YOU,  IN  THAT NIGHT  THERE SHALL BE  TWO MEN IN ONE BED;  THE ONE SHALL BE TAKEN,  AND  THE OTHER SHALL BE LEFT.   TWO WOMEN  SHALL BE GRINDING  TOGETHER;  THE ONE SHALL BE TAKEN,  AND  THE OTHER LEFT.   LOVE 

GALATIANS 6:7-8 BE NOT DECEIVED; GOD IS NOT MOCKED: FOR WHATSOEVER A MAN SOWETH, THAT SHALL  HE ALSO REAP. FOR HE  THAT SOWETH TO HIS FLESH SHALL OF THE FLESH REAP CORRUPTION; BUT HE  THAT SOWETH TO THE SPIRIT SHALL OF THE SPIRIT REAP LIFE  EVERLASTING.  LOVE

PSALM 6:8-10 DEPART FROM ME, ALL YE WORKERS OF INIQUITY; FOR THE LORD HATH HEARD THE VOICE OF MY WEEPING. THE LORD HATH HEARD MY SUPPLICATION; THE LORD WILL RECEIVE MY PRAYER. LET ALL MINE ENEMIES BE ASHAMED AND SORE VEXED: LET THEM RETURN AND BE ASHAMED SUDDENLY.   LOVE 

1 CORINTHIANS 3:17-23   I F ANY MAN DEFILE THE TEMPLE OF GOD, HIM SHALL GOD DESTROY; FOR THE TEMPLE OF GOD IS HOLY, WHICH TEMPLE  YE ARE. LET NO MAN DECEIVE HIMSELF. IF ANY MAN AMONG YOU SEEMETH TO BE WISE IN  THIS WORLD LET HIM BECOME A FOOL, THAT HE MAY BE WISE. FOR  THE WISDOM OF  THIS WORLD  IS  FOOLISHNESS WITH  GOD. FOR  IT IS WRITTEN, HE TAKETH THE WISE IN THEIR OWN CRAFTINESS. AND  AGAIN, THE LORD KNOWETH THE THOUGHTS OF THE WISE, THAT THEY ARE VAIN. THEREFORE LET NO MAN GLORY IN MEN. FOR ALL THINGS ARE YOUR'S; WHETHER PAUL, OR APOLLOS, OR CEPHAS, OR THE WORLD, OR LIFE, OR DEATH, OR THINGS PRESENT, OR THINGS TO COME; ALL ARE YOUR'S AND  YE ARE CHRIST'S; AND  CHRIST IS GOD'S. LOVE
