GRACE UPON GRACE

 PSALM 52:1-7 WHY BOASTEST THOU  THYSELF IN MISCHIEF,  O MIGHTY MAN?  THE GOODNESS OF GOD  ENDURETH CONTINUALLY. THE TONGUE DEVISETH MISCHIEFS;  LIKE A SHARP RAZOR,  WORKING DECEITFULLY. THOU LOVEST EVIL MORE  THAN GOOD;  AND LYING RATHER  THAN TO SPEAK RIGHTEOUSNESS.  SELAH. THOU LOVEST ALL  DEVOURING WORDS,  O THOU DECEITFUL TONGUE. GOD SHALL LIKEWISE DESTROY  THEE FOR EVER,  HE SHALL TAKE THEE AWAY,  AND  PLUCK THEE OUT OF THY  DWELLING PLACE,  AND  ROOT THEE OUT OF  THE LAND OF THE LIVING.   SELAH. THE RIGHTEOUS ALSO SHALL SEE,  AND FEAR,  AND SHALL LAUGH AT HIM: LO, THIS IS THE MAN THAT MADE  NOT GOD HIS STRENGTH;  BUT TRUSTED  IN THE ABUNDANCE OF HIS RICHES,  AND STRENGTHENED  HIMSELF IN HIS WICKEDNESS.    LOVE

 JEREMIAH 18:19-23 GIVE HEED TO ME, O LORD,  AND  HEARKEN TO THE VOICE OF  THEM THAT CONTEND WITH ME.  SHALL EVIL  BE RECOMPENSED FOR GOOD?  FOR THEY HAVE  DIGGED A PIT FOR MY SOUL.  REMEMBER THAT I STOOD  BEFORE THEE TO SPEAK  GOOD FOR THEM,  AND TO TURN AWAY  THY WRATH FROM THEM.  THEREFORE DELIVER UP THEIR  CHILDREN TO THE FAMINE,  AND POUR OUT THEIR  BLOOD BY THE FORCE  OF THE SWORD;  AND LET THEIR WIVES  BE BEREAVED OF THEIR  CHILDREN, AND BE WIDOWS;  AND  LET THEIR MEN BE PUT TO DEATH;  LET THEIR YOUNG MEN  BE SLAIN BY THE SWORD IN BATTLE.  LET A CRY BE HEARD FROM  THEIR HOUSES,  WHEN THOU SHALT BRING  A TROOP SUDDENLY UPON THEM:  FOR THEY HAVE DIGGED  A PIT TO TAKE ME,  AND  HID SNARES FOR MY FEET.  YET, LORD, THOU KNOWEST ALL  THEIR COUNSEL AGAINST ME  TO SLAY ME:  FORGIVE NOT THEIR INIQUITY,...

EPHESIANS 2:15-22 HAVING ABOLISHED  IN HIS FLESH THE ENMITY,  EVEN  THE LAW OF COMMANDMENTS  CONTAINED IN ORDINANCES;  FOR TO MAKE IN  HIMSELF OF TWAIN ONE NEW MAN,  SO MAKING PEACE; AND  THAT HE MIGHT  RECONCILE BOTH UNTO  GOD IN ONE BODY BY THE CROSS,  HAVING SLAIN THE ENMITY THEREBY: AND  CAME AND PREACHED  PEACE TO YOU WHICH WERE  AFAR OFF, AND TO THEM  THAT WERE NIGH. FOR THROUGH HIM  WE BOTH HAVE ACCESS BY ONE SPIRIT UNTO THE FATHER. NOW THEREFORE YE ARE NO MORE STRANGERS  AND FOREIGNERS, BUT FELLOW CITIZENS WITH THE SAINTS, AND OF THE HOUSEHOLD OF GOD; AND ARE BUILT UPON  THE FOUNDATION OF THE APOSTLES AND PROPHETS, JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF  BEING THE CHIEF CORNER STONE; IN WHOM ALL THE BUILDING  FITLY FRAMED TOGETHER  GROWETH UNTO  AN HOLY TEMPLE IN THE LORD:  IN WHOM YE ALSO ARE BUILDED TOGETHER  FOR AN HABITATION OF  GOD THROUGH THE SPIRIT.    LOVE...

DANIEL 9:19-23 O LORD, HEAR; O LORD, FORGIVE; O LORD,  HEARKEN AND DO;  DEFER NOT,  FOR THINE OWN SAKE,  O MY GOD:  FOR THY  CITY AND THY PEOPLE  ARE CALLED BY THY NAME.  AND WHILES I WAS SPEAKING,  AND PRAYING,  AND CONFESSING MY SIN  AND  THE SIN OF MY PEOPLE ISRAEL,  AND  PRESENTING MY SUPPLICATION  BEFORE THE LORD MY GOD  FOR THE HOLY MOUNTAIN  OF MY GOD; YEA,  WHILES I WAS SPEAKING IN PRAYER,   EVEN  THE MAN GABRIEL,  WHOM I HAD SEEN  IN THE VISION AT THE BEGINNING,  BEING CAUSED  TO FLY SWIFTLY,  TOUCHED ME ABOUT  THE TIME OF THE EVENING OBLATION.  AND HE INFORMED ME,  AND TALKED WITH ME,  AND SAID, O DANIEL,   I AM NOW COME FORTH  TO GIVE THEE  SKILL AND UNDERSTANDING.  AT  THE BEGINNING OF THY SUPPLICATIONS  THE COMMANDMENT CAME FORTH,  AND   I AM COME TO SHEW THEE;  FOR  THOU ART GREATL...

 ISAIAH 57:1-12 THE RIGHTEOUS PERISHETH,  AND NO MAN LAYETH IT TO HEART:  AND MERCIFUL MEN ARE  TAKEN AWAY, NONE CONSIDERING  THAT THE RIGHTEOUS IS  TAKEN AWAY FROM  THE EVIL TO COME.  HE SHALL ENTER INTO PEACE:  THEY SHALL REST IN THEIR BEDS,  EACH ONE WALKING IN HIS  UPRIGHTNESS.  BUT  DRAW NEAR HITHER,  YE SONS OF THE SORCERESS,  THE SEED OF THE ADULTERER  AND  THE WHORE.  AGAINST WHOM DO YE SPORT YOURSELVES?   AGAINST WHOM MAKE  YE A WIDE MOUTH,  AND  DRAW OUT THE TONGUE?  ARE YE NOT  CHILDREN OF TRANSGRESSION,  A SEED OF FALSEHOOD.  ENFLAMING YOURSELVES  WITH IDOLS UNDER EVERY  GREEN TREE,  SLAYING THE CHILDREN  IN THE VALLEYS UNDER  THE CLIFTS OF THE ROCKS?  AMONG THE SMOOTH  STONES OF THE STREAM  IS THY PORTION;  THEY, THEY ARE THY LOT:  EVEN TO THEM HAST THOU  POURED A DRINK OFFERING,  THOU H...

Daniel 9:13-19    AS IT IS WRITTEN IN  THE LAW OF MOSES,  ALL THIS EVIL IS COME UPON US:  YET MADE WE NOT OUR  PRAYER BEFORE THE LORD  OUR GOD, THAT WE MIGHT  TURN FROM OUR INIQUITIES,  AND UNDERSTAND THY TRUTH.  THEREFORE HATH  THE LORD WATCHED UPON  THE EVIL, AND BROUGHT  I T UPON US:  FOR  THE LORD OUR GOD IS RIGHTEOUS  IN ALL HIS WORKS WHICH HE DOETH:  FOR WE OBEYED NOT HIS VOICE.  AND NOW, O LORD OUR GOD,  THAT HAST BROUGHT THY  PEOPLE FORTH OUT OF  THE LAND OF EGYPT  WITH A MIGHTY HAND,  AND HAST GOTTEN THEE RENOWN,  AS AT THIS DAY; WE HAVE SINNED,  WE HAVE DONE WICKEDLY.  O LORD, ACCORDING TO ALL  THY RIGHTEOUSNESS,  I BESEECH THEE,  LET THINE ANGER  AND THY FURY BE TURNED  AWAY FROM THY CITY JERUSALEM,  THY HOLY MOUNTAIN:  BECAUSE FOR OUR SINS,  AND FOR THE INIQUITIES  OF OUR FATHERS, JERUSALEM  AND TH...

PSALM:  119:66-72   TEACH ME GOOD JUDGMENT  AND  KNOWLEDGE:  FOR I HAVE BELIEVED  THY COMMANDMENTS.  BEFORE I WAS AFFLICTED  I WENT ASTRAY:  BUT  NOW HAVE I KEPT THY WORD.  THOU ART GOOD, AND DOEST GOOD;  TEACH ME THY STATUTES. THE PROUD HAVE FORGED  A LIE AGAINST ME:  BUT  I WILL KEEP THY PRECEPTS  WITH MY WHOLE HEART.  THEIR HEART IS AS FAT AS GREASE,  BUT I DELIGHT IN THY LAW.  IT IS GOOD FOR ME THAT  I HAVE BEEN AFFLICTED;  THAT I MIGHT LEARN THY STATUTES.   THE LAW OF THY MOUTH  IS BETTER UNTO ME THAN  THOUSANDS OF GOLD AND SILVER.     LOVE

PSALM 119:73-80 THY HANDS HAVE MADE ME AND FASHIONED ME:     GIVE ME UNDERSTANDING, THAT I MAY LEARN THY COMMANDMENTS. THEY THAT FEAR THEE  WILL BE GLAD  WHEN THEY SEE ME;  BECAUSE I HAVE HOPED  IN THY WORD. I KNOW, O LORD,  THAT  THY JUDGMENTS ARE RIGHT,  AND  THAT THOU IN FAITHFULNESS  HAST AFFLICTED ME.  LET, I PRAY THEE,  THY MERCIFUL KINDNESS  BE FOR MY COMFORT,  ACCORDING TO THY WORD  UNTO THY SERVANT.  LET THY TENDER MERCIES  COME UNTO ME,  THAT I MAY LIVE:  FOR THY LAW IS MY DELIGHT.  LET THE PROUD BE ASHAMED;  FOR THEY DEALT PERVERSELY  WITH ME WITHOUT A CAUSE:  BUT  I WILL MEDITATE IN THY PRECEPTS.  LET THOSE THAT FEAR THEE  TURN UNTO ME,  AND  THOSE THAT HAVE KNOWN  THY TESTIMONIES.  LET MY HEART BE SOUND  IN THY STATUTES;  THAT I BE NOT ASHAMED. LOVE

REVELATION 10:8-11 AND THE VOICE WHICH I HEARD FROM HEAVEN SPAKE UNTO ME AGAIN,  AND SAID,  GO AND TAKE THE LITTLE BOOK  WHICH IS OPEN IN THE HAND OF THE   ANGEL WHICH STANDETH  UPON THE SEA AND UPON  THE EARTH. AND I WENT UNTO THE ANGEL,  AND SAID UNTO HIM,  GIVE ME THE LITTLE BOOK.  AND HE SAID UNTO ME,  TAKE IT, AND EAT IT UP;  AND IT SHALL MAKE  THY BELLY BITTER,  BUT IT SHALL BE IN THY  MOUTH SWEET AS HONEY. AND  I TOOK THE LITTLE  BOOK OUT OF THE ANGEL'S HAND,  AND ATE IT UP; AND IT  WAS IN MY  MOUTH SWEET AS HONEY:  AND AS SOON AS  I HAD EATEN IT,  MY BELLY WAS BITTER. AND HE SAID UNTO ME,  THOU MUST PROPHESY AGAIN  BEFORE MANY PEOPLES,  AND NATIONS,  AND TONGUES,  AND KINGS.     LOVE

EPHESIANS 4:9-19 (NOW THAT HE ASCENDED,  WHAT IS IT BUT THAT  HE ALSO DESCENDED  FIRST INTO  THE LOWER PARTS OF THE EARTH? HE THAT DESCENDED  IS THE SAME ALSO  THAT ASCENDED UP FAR ABOVE  ALL HEAVENS,  THAT HE MIGHT FILL ALL THINGS.)   AND    HE GAVE SOME ,  APOSTLES;  AND SOME,  PROPHETS;   AND SOME,  EVANGELISTS;  AND SOME,  PASTORS AND TEACHERS;   FOR  THE PERFECTING OF THE SAINTS,  FOR  THE WORK OF THE MINISTRY,  FOR THE EDIFYING  OF THE BODY OF CHRIST:  TILL WE ALL COME IN THE  UNITY OF THE FAITH,  AND OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF  THE SON OF GOD,  UNTO A PERFECT MAN,  UNTO  THE MEASURE OF THE STATURE  OF THE FULNESS OF CHRIST:  THAT WE HENCEFORTH BE NO MORE CHILDREN,  TOSSED TO AND FRO,  AND CARRIED ABOUT WITH EVERY  WIND OF DOCTRINE,  BY THE SLEIGHT OF MEN,  AND CUNNING CRAFTINESS,  WHEREBY THEY L...
