GRACE UPON GRACE

MATTHEW 25:31-36   WHEN THE SON OF MAN SHALL COME IN HIS GLORY, AND ALL THE HOLY ANGELS WITH HIM, THEN SHALL HE SIT UPON THE THRONE OF HIS GLORY: AND BEFORE HIM SHALL BE GATHERED ALL NATIONS: AND HE SHALL SEPARATE THEM ONE FROM ANOTHER, AS A SHEPHERD DIVIDETH HIS SHEEP FROM THE GOATS: AND HE SHALL SET THE SHEEP ON HIS RIGHT HAND, BUT THE GOATS ON THE LEFT. THEN SHALL THE KING SAY UNTO THEM ON HIS RIGHT HAND, COME, YE BLESSED OF MY FATHER, INHERIT THE KINGDOM PREPARED FOR YOU FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD: FOR I WAS AN HUNGRED, AND YE GAVE ME MEAT: I WAS THIRSTY, AND YE GAVE ME DRINK: I WAS A STRANGER, AND YE TOOK ME IN: NAKED, AND YE CLOTHED ME: I WAS SICK, AND YE VISITED ME: I WAS IN PRISON, AND YE CAME TO ME. LOVE

ISAIAH 43:15-21    I AM THE LORD, YOUR HOLY ONE, THE CREATOR OF ISRAEL, YOUR KING. THUS SAITH THE LORD, WHICH MAKETH A WAY IN THE SEA, AND 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 SHALL IT 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 HAVE I FORMED FOR MYSELF; THEY SHALL SHEW FORTH MY PRAISE.  LOVE

DEUTERONOMY 4:30-32     WHEN  THOU ART IN TRIBULATION,  AND  ALL THESE THINGS  ARE COME  UPON THEE,  EVEN  IN THE LATTER DAYS,  IF THOU TURN  TO THE LORD THY GOD,  AND  SHALT BE  OBEDIENT  UNTO HIS VOICE;    (FOR THE LORD THY  GOD  IS  A MERCIFUL GOD;)  HE WILL NOT FORSAKE THEE,  NEITHER DESTROY THEE,  NOR FORGET  THE COVENANT OF THY FATHERS  WHICH HE SWARE UNTO THEM.  FOR  ASK NOW OF THE DAYS  THAT ARE PAST,  WHICH WERE BEFORE THEE,  SINCE THE DAY  THAT GOD CREATED MAN UPON THE EARTH,  AND  ASK FROM  THE ONE SIDE OF HEAVEN  UNTO  THE OTHER,  WHETHER THERE HATH BEEN  ANY SUCH THING AS THIS  GREAT THING  IS,  OR HATH BEEN HEARD LIKE IT?   LOVE

REVELATION 19:10-14     AND  I FELL AT HIS FEET  TO WORSHIP HIM.  AND  HE SAID UNTO ME,  SEE THOU DO IT NOT:  I AM  THY FELLOWSERVANT,  AND  THY  BRETHREN  THAT  HAVE THE  TESTIMONY OF JESUS:   WORSHIP GOD:  FOR  THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS  IS  THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY AND  I SAW HEAVEN OPENED,  AND  BEHOLD  A WHITE HORSE;  AND  HE THAT SAT  UPON HIM  WAS CALLED  FAITHFUL AND TRUE,  AND  IN RIGHTEOUSNESS  HE DOTH  JUDGE AND MAKE  WAR.  HIS EYES WERE  AS A FLAME OF FIRE,  AND  ON HIS HEAD WERE  MANY CROWNS;  AND  HE HAD  A NAME WRITTEN  THAT NO MAN KNEW,  BUT  HE HIMSELF.   AND  HE WAS CLOTHED  WITH  A VESTURE DIPPED  IN BLOOD:  AND  ...

JEREMIAH 5:10-16 GO YE UP UPON  HER WALLS, AND  DESTROY; BUT MAKE NOT A FULL END: TAKE AWAY  HER BATTLEMENT; FOR THEY ARE NOT THE LORD'S. FOR THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AND THE HOUSE OF JUDAH HAVE DEALT VERY TREACHEROUSLY AGAINST ME, SAITH  THE LORD. THEY  HAVE  BELIED THE LORD, AND SAID, IT IS NOT HE; NEITHER SHALL EVIL  COME UPON US; NEITHER SHALL WE SEE SWORD NOT FAMINE. AND THE PROPHETS SHALL BECOME WIND, AND THE WORD IS NOT IN THEM: THUS SHALL  IT BE  DONE UNTO THEM. WHEREFORE THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD OF HOSTS, BECAUSE YE SPEAK THIS WORD, BEHOLD, I WILL MAKE MY WORDS IN THY MOUTH FIRE, AND THIS PEOPLE WOOD, AND  IT SHALL DEVOUR THEM. LO, I WILL BRING A NATION UPON YOU FROM FAR, O HOUSE OF ISRAEL, SAITH THE LORD: IT IS A MIGHTY NATION, IT IS AN ANCIENT NATION, A NATION WHOSE LANGUAGE THOU KNOWEST NOT, NEITHER, UNDERSTANDEST WHAT THEY SAY. THEIR QUIVER IS AN OPEN SEPULCHRE, THEY ARE ALL MIGHTY MEN. LOVE

1 CORINTHIANS 2:12-16 NOW WE HAVE RECEIVED, NOT THE SPIRIT OF THE WORLD, BUT THE SPIRIT WHICH IS OF GOD; THAT WE MIGHT KNOW THE THINGS THAT ARE FREELY GIVEN TO US OF GOD. WHICH THINGS ALSO WE SPEAK,  NOT IN THE WORDS  WHICH MAN'S WISDOM TEACHETH,  BUT    WHICH THE HOLY GHOST TEACHETH;  COMPARING  SPIRITUAL THINGS  WITH SPIRITUAL. BUT THE NATURAL MAN RECEIVETH NOT THE THINGS OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD: FOR THEY ARE FOOLISHNESS UNTO HIM: NEITHER CAN HE KNOW THEM,  BECAUSE THEY ARE SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED. BUT HE THAT IS SPIRITUAL JUDGETH ALL THINGS, YET HE HIMSELF IS JUDGED OF NO MAN. FOR  WHO HATH KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, THAT HE MAY INSTRUCT HIM? BUT WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST.  LOVE

JOHN 10:1-5 VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU,  HE THAT ENTERETH  NOT  BY THE DOOR  INTO  THE SHEEPFOLD,  BUT  CLIMBETH UP  SOME OTHER WAY,  THE SAME IS A THIEF  AND  A ROBBER.  BUT  HE THAT  ENTERETH  IN  BY THE DOOR  IS  THE  SHEPHERD  OF THE SHEEP.  TO  HIM  THE PORTER OPENETH;  AND  THE SHEEP HEAR  HIS VOICE:  AND  HE CALLETH HIS OWN SHEEP  BY NAME,  AND  LEADETH THEM OUT.  AND  WHEN H E PUTTETH  FORTH  HIS OWN SHEEP,  HE GOETH  BEFORE THEM,  AND  THE SHEEP FOLLOW HIM:  FOR  THEY KNOW HIS VOICE.  AND  THE STRANGER  WILL  THEY NOT FOLLOW,  BUT  WILL  FLEE FROM HIM:  FOR  THEY KNOW  NOT  THE VOICE OF STRANGERS....

JEREMIAH 4:1-6 IF THOU WILT RETURN, O ISRAEL,  SAITH THE LORD,  RETURN UNTO ME:  AND IF THOU WILT  PUT AWAY THINE  ABOMINATIONS  OUT OF MY SIGHT,  THEN SHALT THOU NOT REMOVE.  AND  THOU SHALT SWEAR,  THE LORD LIVETH,  IN TRUTH,  IN JUDGEMENT,  AND  IN RIGHTEOUSNESS;  AND THE NATIONS SHALL BLESS THEMSELVES  IN HIM, AND IN HIM  SHALL THEY GLORY.  FOR THUS SAITH THE LORD  TO THE MEN OF JUDAH AND JERUSALEM,  BREAK UP YOUR FALLOW GROUND,  AND  SOW NOT AMONG THORNS.  CIRCUMCISE YOURSELVES  TO THE LORD,  AND  TAKE AWAY  THE FORESKINS OF YOUR HEART,  YE MEN  OF  JUDAH AND INHABITANTS OF JERUSALEM: LEST MY FURY COME FORTH LIKE FIRE,  AND  BURN  THAT NONE CAN QUENCH IT,  BECAUSE OF THE EVIL OF YOUR DOINGS.  DECLARE YE IN JUDAH,  AND...

PSALM 98:5-9 SING UNTO  THE LORD  WITH  THE HARP;  WITH THE HARP,  AND  THE VOICE OF A PSALM.  WITH  TRUMPETS AND SOUND  OF  CORNET  MAKE A JOYFUL NOISE  BEFORE  THE LORD,  THE KING.  LET  THE SEA ROAR,  AND  THE FULNESS THEREOF,  THE WORLD,  AND  THEY THAT DWELL  THEREIN.  LET THE FLOODS  CLAP THEIR HANDS:  LET  THE HILLS BE JOYFUL  TOGETHER  BEFORE  THE LORD;  FOR  HE COMETH  TO JUDGE  THE EARTH:  WITH  RIGHTEOUSNESS  SHALL  HE JUDGE  THE WORLD,  AND  THE PEOPLE WITH EQUITY.    LOVE

ISAIAH 62:1-7 FOR ZION'S SAKE  WILL I NOT HOLD MY PEACE,  AND  FOR JERUSALEM'S  SAKE  I WILL NOT REST,   UNTIL  THE RIGHTEOUSNESS  THEREOF GO FORTH AS BRIGHTNESS,  AND  THE SALVATION THEREOF  AS A LAMP THAT BURNETH.   AND  THE GENTILES SHALL SEE  THY RIGHTEOUSNESS,  AND ALL KINGS THY GLORY:  AND  THOU SHALT BE CALLED  BY A NEW NAME,   WHICH  THE MOUTH OF THE LORD  SHALL NAME.   THOU SHALT ALSO  BE A CROWN OF GLORY  IN THE HAND OF THE LORD,  AND  A ROYAL DIADEM  IN THE HAND TO THY GOD.  THOU SHALT  NO MORE BE TERMED  FORSAKEN;  NEITHER SHALL THY LAND  ANY MORE BE TERMED  DESOLATE:  BUT THOU SHALT BE CALLED HEPHZIBAH,  AND  THY LAND BEULAH:  FOR  THE LORD DELIGHTETH  IN THEE,  AND  THY LAND SHALL BE ...
