GRACE UPON GRACE

Daniel 7:1-7 IN THE FIRST YEAR OF  BELSHAZZAR KING OF BABYLON DANIEL  HAD A DREAM AND VISIONS OF HIS HEAD UPON HIS BED:   THEN HE WROTE THE DREAM,  AND TOLD  THE SUM OF THE MATTERS  DANIEL SPAKE AND SAID,  I SAW IN MY VISION BY NIGHT,  AND BEHOLD,  THE FOUR WINDS OF HEAVEN  STROVE UPON THE GREAT SEA.  AND FOUR GREAT BEAST  CAME UP FROM THE SEA, DIVERSE ONE FROM ANOTHER. THE FIRST WAS LIKE A LION, AND HAD EAGLE'S WINGS:  I BEHELD TILL THE WINGS THEREOF WERE PLUCKED, AND IT WAS LIFTED UP FROM THE EARTH,  AND MADE STAND UPON  THE FEET AS A MAN, AND A MAN'S HEART WAS GIVEN TO IT.  AND BEHOLD ANOTHER BEAST,  A SECOND, LIKE TO A BEAR,  AND IT RAISED UP ITSELF ON ONE SIDE,   AND IT HAD THREE RIBS IN  THE MOUTH OF IT BETWEEN  THE TEETH OF IT:  AND THEY SAID THUS UNTO IT,  ARISE, DEVOUR MUCH FLESH.  AFTER THIS I BEHELD,  AND LO ANOTHER,  LIKE A LEOPARD, ...

REVELATION  6:1-2     AND I SAW  WHEN THE LAMB  OPENED ONE OF THE SEALS,  AND I HEARD,  AS IT WERE  THE NOISE OF THUNDER,  ONE OF THE FOUR BEAST SAYING,  COME AND SEE.  AND I SAW  AND BEHOLD  A WHITE HORSE:  AND HE THAT SAT  ON HIM HAD A BOW;  AND A CROWN  AND WAS GIVEN  UNTO HIM  AND  HE WENT FORTH  CONQUERING AND TO CONQUER.      LOVE

Psalm 67:1-7   GOD BE MERCIFUL UNTO US,   AND BLESS US;  AND CAUSE HIS FACE  TO SHINE UPON US, SELAH.   THAT THY MAY BE KNOWN UPON THE EARTH,  THY SAVING HEALTH AMONG NATIONS.    LET THE PEOPLE PRAISE THEE, O GOD;  LET ALL THE PEOPLE PRAISE THEE.  O LET THE NATIONS BE GLAD AND SING JOY:  FOR THOU SHALT JUDGE THE PEOPLE RIGHTEOUSLY,  AND GOVERN UPON EARTH. SELAH.  LET THE PEOPLE PRAISE THEE, O GOD;  LET ALL THE PEOPLE PRAISE THEE.  THEN SHALL THE EARTH YIELD HER INCREASE;  AND GOD, EVEN OUR OWN GOD, SHALL BLESS US.  GOD SHALL BLESS US;  AND ALL THE ENDS OF THE EARTH SHALL FEAR HIM.  Love

1 Corinthians 3-13-23 EVERY MAN'S WORK SHALL BE MADE MANIFEST: FOR THE DAY SHALL DECLARE IT, BECAUSE IT SHALL BE REVEALED BY FIRE; AND FIRE SHALL TRY EVERY MAN'S WORK OF WHAT SORT IT IS. IF ANY MAN'S WORK ABIDE WHICH HE HATH BUILT THEREUPON, HE SHALL RECEIVE A REWARD. IF ANY MAN'S WORK SHALL BE BURNED, HE SHALL SUFFER LOSS: BUT HE HIMSELF SHALL BE SAVED; YET SO AS BY FIRE KNOW YE NOT THAT YE ARE THE TEMPLE OF GOD, AND  THE SPIRIT OF GOD  DWELLETH IN YOU? IF 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 T...

2 Samuel 22:3-22   THE GOD OF MY ROCK;  IN HIM WILL I TRUST:  HE IS MY SHIELD,   AND THE HORN OF MY SALVATION,  MY HIGH TOWER,  AND MY REFUGE, MY SAVIOUR; THOU SAVEST ME FROM VIOLENCE.   I WILL CALL ON THE LORD,  WHO IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED: SO SHALL I BE SAVED FROM  MINE ENEMIE S.  WHEN THE WAVES OF  DEATH COMPASSED ME,  THE FLOODS OF UNGODLY    MEN MADE ME AFRAID; THE SORROWS OF HELL COMPASSED ME ABOUT; THE SNARES OF DEATH PREVENTED ME; IN MY DISTRESS I CALLED UPON THE LORD,  AND CRIED TO MY GOD: AND HE DID HEAR MY VOICE OUT OF HIS TEMPLE,  AND MY CRY DID ENTER HIS EARS.   THEN THE EARTH SHOOK AND TREMBLED;  THE FOUNDATION OF HEAVEN MOVED AND SHOOK, BECAUSE HE WAS WROTH   THERE WENT UP SMOKE OUT OF HIS NOSTRILS,  AND FIRE OUT OF HIS MOUTH DEVOURED: COALS WERE KINDLED BY IT.   HE BOWED THE HEAVENS ALSO ,   AND CAME DOWN;  AN...

PSALMS 25:8-15 GOOD and UPRIGHT IS THE LORD: THEREFORE  WILL HE TEACH SINNERS IN THE WAY.    THE MEEK WILL GUIDE IN JUDGEMENT:  AND THE MEEK WILL HE TEACH HIS WAY.     ALL THE PATHS OF THE LORD ARE MERCY AND TRUTH   UNTO SUCH AS KEEP HIS COVENANT AND HIS TESTIMONIES .  FOR THY NAME'S SAKE, O LORD, PARDON MINE INIQUITY; FOR IT IS GREAT.    WHAT MAN IS HE THAT FEARETH THE LORD?   HIM   SHALL HE TEACH   IN THE WAY THAT   HE SHALL CHOOSE .    HIS SOUL SHALL DWELL AT EASE;  AND HIS SEED SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH.      THE SECRET OF THE LORD IS WITH THEM THAT FEAR HIM;  AND HE WILL SHEW THEM HIS COVENANT. MINE EYES ARE EVER TOWARD THE LORD;  FOR HE SHALL PLUCK MY FEET OUT OF THE NET. LOVE

ECCLESIASTES 7:7-14   SURELY OPPRESSION MAKETH  A WISE MAN MAD;  AND A GIFT DESTROYETH THE HEART.  BETTER IS THE END OF A THING  THAN THE BEGINNING THEREOF: AND THE PATIENT IN SPIRIT IS BETTER  THAN THE PROUD IN SPIRIT.   BE NOT HASTY IN THY SPIRIT TO BE ANGRY:  FOR ANGER RESTETH IN THE BOSOM OF FOOLS.  SAY NOT THOU, WHAT IS THE CAUSE THAT THE FORMER DAYS WERE BETTER THAN THESE? FOR THOU DOST NOT ENQUIRE WISELY  CONCERNING THIS.  WISDOM IS GOOD WITH AN INHERITANCE:  AND BY IT THERE IS PROFIT TO THEM THAT SEE THE SUN.  FOR WISDOM IS A DEFENCE, AND MONEY IS A DEFENCE:  BUT THE EXCELLENCY OF KNOWLEDGE IS, THAT WISDOM GIVETH LIFE TO THEM THAT HAVE IT. CONSIDER THE WORK OF GOD: FOR WHO CAN MAKE THAT STRAIGHT, WHICH HE HATH MADE CROOKED? IN THE DAY OF PROSPERITY BE JOYFUL,  BUT IN THE DAY OF ADVERSITY CONSIDER:   GOD ALSO HATH SET THE ONE OVER AGAINST THE OTHER, TO THE END THAT MAN SHOULD FIND  NOTHING AFT...

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...
