GRACE UPON GRACE

LUKE 14:12-15 THEN SAID  HE ALSO TO HIM  THAT BADE HIM,  WHEN THOU MAKEST  A DINNER OR A SUPPER,  CALL NOT THY FRIENDS,  NOR THY BRETHREN,  NEITHER THY KINSMEN,  NOR THY RICH NEIGHBOURS;  LEST THEY ALSO BID  THEE AGAIN,  AND A RECOMPENSE  BE MADE THEE.  BUT WHEN THOU MAKEST  A FEAST,  CALL THE POOR,  THE MAIMED, THE LAME, THE BLIND:  AND  THOU SHALT BE BLESSED;  FOR  THEY CANNOT RECOMPENSE  THEE:  FOR THOU SHALT  BE RECOMPENSED AT  THE RESURRECTION OF THE JUST.  AND  WHEN ONE OF THEM  THAT SAT AT MEAT  WITH HIM HEARD THESE THINGS,  HE SAID UNTO HIM,  BLESSED IS HE THAT  SHALL EAT BREAD  IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD.  LOVE

 LUKE 4:17-21 AND  THERE WAS  DELIVERED UNTO HIM  THE BOOK OF THE PROPHET  ESAIAS.  AND  WHEN HE HAD OPENED  THE BOOK,  HE FOUND  THE PLACE WHERE IT WAS WRITTEN,   THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD  IS UPON ME , BECAUSE  HE HATH ANOINTED ME  TO PREACH  THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR;  HE HATH SENT ME  TO HEAL THE BROKENHEARTED,  TO PREACH DELIVERANCE  TO THE CAPTIVES,  AND RECOVERING OF SIGHT  TO THE BLIND,  TO SET AT LIBERTY  THEM THAT ARE BRUISED,  TO PREACH  THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR  OF THE LORD.  AND  HE CLOSED THE BOOK,  AND  HE GAVE IT AGAIN  TO THE MINISTER,  AND  SAT DOWN.  AND  THE EYES OF ALL THEM  THAT WERE IN THE SYNAGOGUE  WERE FASTENED ON HIM.  AND  HE BEGAN TO SAY  UNTO THEM,  THIS DAY IS THIS SCRIPTURE  FULFILLED IN YOUR EARS.  LOVE  

LUKE 13:24-27   STRIVE TO ENTER  IN AT THE STRAIT GATE:  FOR MANY,  I SAY UNTO YOU,  WILL SEEK TO ENTER IN,  AND  SHALL NOT BE ABLE.  WHEN ONCE THE MASTER OF THE HOUSE IS RISEN UP, AND  HATH SHUT TO THE DOOR,  AND  YE BEGIN TO STAND  WITHOUT,  AND TO  KNOCK AT THE DOOR,  SAYING, LORD, LORD,  OPEN UNTO US;  AND  HE SHALL ANSWER  AND  SAY UNTO YOU,  I KNOW YOU NOT WHENCE YE ARE:  THEN SHALL YE BEGIN TO SAY,  WE HAVE EATEN AND DRUNK  IN THY PRESENCE,  AND  THOU HAST TAUGHT  IN OUR STREETS.  BUT HE SHALL SAY, I TELL YOU, I KNOW YOU NOT WHENCE YE ARE; DEPART FROM ME, ALL YE WORKERS OF INIQUITY.     LOVE

ROMANS 4:8-12 BLESSED  IS  THE MAN TO WHOM  THE LORD WILL NOT IMPUTE SIN.   COMETH THIS BLESSEDNESS  THEN UPON THE CIRCUMCISION ONLY,  OR  UPON THE UNCIRCUMCISION ALSO?  FOR WE SAY THAT  FAITH WAS RECKONED  TO ABRAHAM FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS.  HOW WAS IT THEN RECKONED?  WHEN HE WAS IN CIRCUMCISION,  OR IN UNCIRCUMSION?  NOT IN CIRCUMCISION  BUT IN UNCIRCUMCISION.  AND  HE RECEIVED  THE SIGN OF CIRCUMCISION,  A SEAL  OF  THE RIGHTEOUSNESS  OF THE FAITH  WHICH HE HAD  YET BEING UNCIRCUMCISED:  THAT HE MIGHT BE  THE FATHER OF ALL THEM  THAT BELIEVE,  THOUGH THEY BE NOT CIRCUMCISED;  THAT RIGHTEOUSNESS  MIGHT BE IMPUTED  UNTO THEM ALSO:  AND  THE FATHER OF CIRCUMCISION  TO THEM WHO ARE  NOT OF  THE CIRCUMCISION ONLY,  BUT WHO ALSO  WALK IN  THE STEPS OF THE FAITH  OF OUR FATHER ABRAHAM,  WHICH H...

LUKE 16:16-17   THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS  WERE UNTIL JOHN:  SINCE THAT TIME  THE KINGDOM OF GOD  IS PREACHED,  AND  EVERY MAN  PRESSETH INTO IT.  AND  IT IS EASIER  FOR HEAVEN AND EARTH TO PASS,  THAN  ONE TITTLE OF THE LAW TO FAIL.    love

ROMANS 16:17-20   NOW I BESEECH YOU,  BRETHREN,  MARK THEM WHICH CAUSE DIVISIONS AND OFFENCES CONTRARY TO THE DOCTRINE WHICH YE HAVE LEARNED; AND AVOID THEM.  FOR THEY THAT ARE SUCH SERVE NOT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, BUT THEIR OWN BELLY; AND BY GOOD WORDS AND FAIR SPEECHES DECEIVE THE HEARTS OF THE SIMPLE. FOR  YOUR OBEDIENCE IS COME  ABROAD UNTO ALL MEN.   I AM GLAD THEREFORE  ON YOUR BEHALF:  BUT YET I WOULD HAVE  YOU WISE UNTO  THAT WHICH IS GOOD,  AND  SIMPLE  CONCERNING EVIL.  AND  THE GOD OF PEACE  SHALL BRUISE SATAN  UNDER YOUR FEET SHORTLY.  THE  GRACE OF OUR LORD  JESUS CHRIST  BE WITH YOU.  AMEN.     LOVE  

ISAIAH 26:18-21  WE HAVE BEEN WITH CHILD,  WE HAVE BEEN IN PAIN,  WE HAVE AS IT WERE  BROUGHT FORTH WIND;  WE HAVE NOT WROUGHT  ANY  DELIVERANCE IN THE EARTH;  NEITHER HAVE  THE INHABITANTS OF THE WORLD FALLEN.  THY DEAD MEN SHALL LIVE,  TOGETHER WITH MY  DEAD BODY SHALL THEY ARISE.  AWAKE AND SING,  YE THAT DWELL IN DUST:  FOR THY DEW IS AS  THE DEW OF HERBS,  AND  THE EARTH SHALL CAST  OUT THE DEAD.  COME, MY PEOPLE,  ENTER THOU INTO THY CHAMBERS,  AND   SHUT THY DOORS ABOUT THEE:  HIDE THYSELF  AS IT WERE  FOR A LITTLE MOMENT,  UNTIL THE INDIGNATION  BE OVERCAST.  FOR, BEHOLD,  THE LORD COMETH OUT OF HIS PLACE  TO PUNISH  THE INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH  FOR THEIR INIQUITY:  THE EARTH ALSO SHALL  DISCLOSE HER BLOOD,  AND  SHALL  NO MORE COVER HER SLAIN.    love    

HEBREWS 3:12-15 TAKE HEED,  BRETHREN,  LEST THERE BE  IN ANY OF YOU  AN EVIL HEART  OF UNBELIEF,  IN DEPARTING  FROM  THE LIVING GOD.  BUT EXHORT ONE ANOTHER DAILY, WHILE IT IS CALLED TO DAY:   LEST ANY OF YOU  BE HARDENED THROUGH THE DECEITFULNESS OF SIN.  FOR WE ARE MADE PARTAKERS OF CHRIST, IF WE HOLD THE BEGINNING OF OUR CONFIDENCE STEDFAST UNTO THE END; WHILE IT IS SAID, TO DAY IF YE WILL HEAR HIS VOICE, HARDEN NOT YOUR HEARTS, AS IN THE PROVOCATION.   LOVE

JOHN 16:7-12   NEVERTHELESS I TELL YOU THE TRUTH; IT IS EXPEDIENT FOR YOU  THAT I GO AWAY:  FOR IF I GO NOT AWAY,  THE COMFORTER WILL NOT COME  UNTO YOU;  BUT IF I DEPART,  I WILL SEND HIM UNTO YOU.  AND when he is COME,  HE WILL REPROVE  THE WORLD OF SIN,  AND OF  RIGHTEOUSNESS,  AND OF  JUDGMENT:  OF SIN,  BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE NOT ON ME;  OF RIGHTEOUSNESS,  BECAUSE I GO TO MY FATHER,  AND  YE SEE ME NO MORE;  OF JUDGMENT,  BECAUSE THE PRINCE OF THIS WORLD IS JUDGED. I HAVE YET MANY  THINGS TO SAY TO YOU,  BUT YE CANNOT BEAR THEM NOW.    LOVE    

MARK 4:30-32   AND HE SAID,  WHEREUNTO SHALL WE  LIKEN  THE KINGDOM OF GOD?  OR WITH  WHAT COMPARISON  SHALL WE COMPARE IT?    IT IS LIKE  A GRAIN OF MUSTARD SEED,  WHICH, WHEN,  IT IS SOWN IN EARTH,  IS LESS THAN ALL  THE SEEDS  THAT BE IN EARTH:  BUT WHEN IT IS SOWN,  IT GROWETH UP, AND BECOMETH GREATER THAN ALL HERBS, AND SHOOTETH OUT  GREAT BRANCHES;  SO THAT  THE FOWLS OF THE AIR  MaY LODGE UNDER  THE SHADOW OF IT.  and with many  such  parables spake  he  the word unto them  as they were  able to hear it.    love
