GRACE UPON GRACE

PSALM 85:4-7 TURN US, O GOD  OF  OUR SALVATION, AND  CAUSE  THINE ANGER TOWARD US TO CEASE. WILT THOU BE ANGRY  WITH US FOR EVER? WILT THOU  DRAW  OUT  THINE ANGER TO ALL GENERATIONS? WILT THOU NOT  REVIVE US AGAIN: THAT THY PEOPLE  MAY REJOICE IN THEE? SHEW US THY MERCY,  O LORD,  AND GRANT US  THY SALVATION. LOVE 

Ezekiel 22:23-31 AND  THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO ME,  SAYING, SON OF MAN,  SAY UNTO HER, THOU ARE THE LAND THAT IS NOT CLEANSED, NOR RAINED UPON IN  THE DAY OF INDIGNATION. THERE IS A CONSPIRACY OF  HER PROPHETS IN THE MIDST  THEREOF, LIKE A ROARING LION RAVENING THE PREY; THEY HAVE DEVOURED SOULS; THEY HAVE TAKEN THE TREASURE AND PRECIOUS THINGS;   THEY HAVE MADE HER MANY WINDOWS IN THE MIDST THEREOF. HER PRIESTS HAVE VIOLATED MY LAW, AND HAVE PROFANED MINE HOLY THINGS: THEY HAVE PUT NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE HOLY AND PROFANE, NEITHER HAVE THEY SHEWED DIFFERENCE BETWEEN UNCLEAN  AND  THE CLEAN, AND HAVE HID THEIR EYES FROM MY SABBATHS, AND I AM PROFANE AMONG THEM. HER PRINCES IN THE MIDST THEREOF ARE LIKE WOLVES  RAVENING THE PREY, TO SHED BLOOD, AND TO DESTROY SOULS, TO GET DISHONEST GAIN. AND HER PROPHETS HAVE DAUBED THEM  WITH UNTEMPERED  MORTER, SEEING VANITY, AND DIVINING LIES UNTO THEM, SAYING, THUS...

JOHN 8:28-32   THEN SAID JESUS  UNTO THEM,   WHEN YE HAVE LIFTED UP THE SON OF MAN,   THEN SHALL YE KNOW THAT I AM HE, AND THAT I DO NOTHING OF MYSELF; BUT AS MY FATHER HATH TAUGHT ME, I SPEAK THESE THINGS. AND   HE THAT SENT ME IS WITH ME: THE FATHER HATH NOT LEFT ME ALONE;   FOR I DO ALWAYS THOSE THINGS THAT PLEASE HIM.   AS HE SPAKE  THESE WORDS,  MANY  BELIEVED ON HIM.   THEN SAID JESUS  TO THOSE JEWS  WHICH BELIEVED  ON HIM,  IF YOU  CONTINUE IN MY WORD, THEN ARE YE MY DISCIPLES INDEED;   AND YE SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH, AND THE TRUTH  SHALL MAKE YOU FREE. LOVE

JOHN 10:15-18 AS THE FATHER  KNOWETH ME,  EVEN SO  KNOW  I  THE FATHER: AND I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR THE SHEEP.   AND  OTHER SHEEP  I HAVE,  WHICH ARE  NOT OF THIS FOLD:  THEM ALSO  I MUST BRING,  AND  THEY SHALL HEAR  MY VOICE;  AND  THERE SHALL BE ONE FOLD, AND ONE SHEPHERD.   THEREFORE  DOTH  MY FATHER LOVE  ME,  BECAUSE  I LAY DOWN MY LIFE,  THAT  I MIGHT TAKE IT  AGAIN.  NO MAN  TAKETH IT FROM ME,  BUT  I LAY IT DOWN  OF  MYSELF,  I HAVE POWER  TO LAY IT DOWN,  AND  I HAVE POWER  TO TAKE IT AGAIN.   THIS COMMANDMENT  HAVE I  RECEIVED  OF  MY FATHER. LOVE

PSALM 66:16-20 COME AND HEAR,  ALL YE THAT FEAR GOD,  AND  I WILL DECLARE  WHAT HE HATH DONE  FOR MY SOUL.  I CRIED UNTO HIM  WITH MY MOUTH,  AND  HE WAS EXTOLLED  WITH MY TONGUE.   IF I REGARD  INIQUITY IN MY HEART,  THE LORD WILL  NOT HEAR ME:   BUT VERILY GOD HATH HEARD ME; HE HATH ATTENDED TO THE VOICE  OF MY PRAYER.  BLESSED BE GOD,  WHO HATH ATTENDED  TO  THE VOICE OF MY PRAYER.  BLESS BE GOD,  WHO HATH  NOT  TURNED AWAY MY PRAYER,  NOR  HIS MERCY FROM ME. LOVE 

MALACHI 3:14-18 YE HAVE SAID,  IT IS VAIN TO SERVE GOD;  AND  WHAT PROFIT IS IT  THAT  WE HAVE KEPT  HIS ORDINANCE,  AND  THAT WE HAVE  WALKED MOURNFULLY  BEFORE THE LORD OF HOST?  AND NOW  WE CALL  THE PROUD HAPPY; YEA, THEY THAT WORK WICKEDNESS ARE SET UP; YEA, THEY THAT TEMPT GOD ARE EVEN DELIVERED.   THEN THEY THAT FEARED THE LORD SPAKE OFTEN ONE TO ANOTHER: AND THE LORD HEARKENED, AND HEARD IT, AND A BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE WAS WRITTEN BEFORE HIM FOR THEM THAT FEARED THE LORD, AND THAT THOUGHT UPON HIS NAME.   AND THEY SHALL BE MINE, SAITH THE LORD OF HOST, IN THAT DAY WHEN I MAKE UP MY JEWELS; AND I WILL SPARE THEM, AS A MAN SPARETH HIS OWN SON THAT SERVETH HIM. THEN SHALL YE RETURN, AND DISCERN BETWEEN RIGHTEOUS AND THE WICKED, BETWEEN HIM THAT SERVETH GOD  AND  HIM THAT SERV...

JAMES 1:23-24 FOR IF ANY BE A HEARER OF THE WORD, AND NOT A DOER, HE IS LIKE UNTO A MAN BEHOLDING HIS NATURAL FACE IN A GLASS.   FOR  HE BEHOLDETH HIMSELF,  AND  GOETH HIS WAY,  AND  STRAIGHTWAY FORGETETH  WHAT  MANNER OF MAN HE WAS.   BUT WHOSO LOOKETH INTO THE PERFECT LAW OF LIBERTY, AND CONTINUETH THEREIN, HE BEING NOT A FORGETFUL HEARER, BUT A DOER OF THE WORK, THIS MAN SHALL BE BLESSED  IN HIS DEED.   IF ANY MAN AMONG  YOU SEEM TO BE  RELIGIOUS,   AND  BRIDLETH  NOT HIS TONGUE,  BUT  DECEIVETH  HIS OWN HEART,  THIS  MAN'S RELIGION IS VAIN.   PURE RELIGION AND UNDEFILED BEFORE GOD AND THE FATHER IS THIS, TO VISIT THE FATHERLESS AND WIDOWS IN THEIR AFFLICTION, AND KEEP HIMSELF UNSPOTTED FROM THIS WORLD. LOVE

REVELATION 12:10-17     AND I HEARD  A LOUD VOICE  SAYING IN HEAVEN,  NOW IS COME SALVATION, AND STRENGTH, AND THE KINGDOM OF OUR GOD, AND THE POWER OF HIS CHRIST:   FOR THE ACCUSER OF OUR BRETHREN IS CAST DOWN,   WHICH ACCUSED THEM  BEFORE OUR GOD  DAY AND NIGHT.   AND THEY OVERCAME HIM BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB, AND BY THE WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY;   AND  THEY LOVED NOT THEIR  LIVES UNTO DEATH.   THEREFORE REJOICE,  YE HEAVENS,  AND  YE THAT DWELL IN THEM.   WOE TO THE  INHABITERS OF THE EARTH  AND  OF THE SEA!  FOR THE DEVIL IS COME DOWN UNTO YOU, HAVING GREAT WRATH, BECAUSE HE KNOWETH THAT HE HATH BUT A SHORT TIME. AND  WHEN THE DRAGON  SAW THAT HE WAS  CAST UNTO THE EARTH,  HE PERSECUTED THE WOMEN  WHICH BROUGHT FORTH  THE MAN CHILD....

ZECHARIAH 9:12-17 TURN YOU  TO THE STRONG HOLD,  YE PRISONERS OF HOPE:  EVEN TO DAY  DO I DECLARE  THAT I WILL  RENDER DOUBLE  UNTO THEE;  WHEN I HAVE BENT JUDAH FOR ME, FILLED THE BOW WITH EPHRAIM, AND RAISED UP THY SONS,  O ZION, AGAINST THY SONS, O GREECE, AND MADE THEE  AS A SWORD  OF A MIGHTY MAN. THE LORD WILL SAVE HIS PEOPLE.   AND THE LORD SHALL BE SEEN OVER THEM,   AND  HIS ARROW SHALL  GO FORTH  AS THE LIGHTENING:  AND  THE LORD GOD SHALL  BLOW THE TRUMPET,  AND  SHALL GO WITH  WHIRLWINDS  OF  THE SOUTH.  THE LORD OF HOST SHALL DEFEND THEM; AND THY SHALL DEVOUR, AND SUBDUE WITH SLING STONES; AND THEY SHALL DRINK, AND MAKE A NOISE AS THROUGH WINE; AND THY SHALL BE FILLED LIKE BOWLS, AND AS THE CORNERS OF THE ALTER.
