GRACE UPON GRACE

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

LUKE 3:21-22 NOW WHEN ALL THE PEOPLE WERE BAPTIZED, IT CAME TO PASS, THAT JESUS ALSO BEING BAPTIZED, AND PRAYING, THE HEAVEN WAS OPENED, AND THE HOLY GHOST DESCENDED  IN A BODILY SHAPE  LIKE A DOVE  UPON HIM,  AND  A VOICE CAME FROM HEAVEN,  WHICH SAID,  THOU ART MY BELOVED  SON;  IN THEE  I AM WELL PLEASED.   LOVE ...

JOHN 6:37-40 ALL  THAT  THE FATHER  GIVETH ME  SHALL  COME TO ME;   AND  HIM THAT COMETH  TO ME  I  WILL IN NO WISE  CAST OUT.  FOR  I COME DOWN  FROM  HEAVEN,  NOT TO DO  MINE OWN WILL,  BUT  THE WILL OF HIM  THAT SENT ME.  AND  THIS  IS  THE FATHER'S WILL  WHICH  HATH SENT ME,  THAT OF ALL  WHICH HE  HATH GIVEN  ME  I SHOULD LOSE NOTHING,  BUT  SHOULD  RAISE IT UP AGAIN  AT  THE LAST DAY.  AND  THIS IS THE WILL  OF  HIM THAT SENT ME,  THAT EVERY ONE  WHICH SEETH  THE SON,  AND  BELIEVETH ON HIM  MAY HAVE  EVERLASTING LIFE:  AND  I WILL RAISE HIM  UP  AT  THE LAST DAY.  LOVE
