GRACE UPON GRACE

HOSEA 13:11-16   I GAVE THEE A KING  IN MINE ANGER, AND     TOOK HIM AWAY  IN MY WRATH.  THE INIQUITY  OF EPHRAIM  IS BOUND UP;  HIS SIN IS HID.  THE SORROWS OF A TRAVAILING WOMAN  SHALL COME UP UPON HIM:  HE IS AN UNWISE SON;  FOR HE SHOULD  NOT STAY LONG   IN THE PLACE OF  THE BREAKING FORTH  OF CHILDREN.   I WILL  RANSOM  THEM  FROM  THE POWER OF THE GRAVE;  I WILL REDEEM  THEM FROM DEATH: O DEATH,  I WILL BE THY PLAGUES;  O GRAVE,  I WILL BE THY DESTRUCTION:   REPENTANCE SHALL  BE HID FROM MINE EYES.   THOUGH HE BE FRUITFUL  AMONG HIS BRETHREN,   AN EAST WIND  SHALL COME,  THE WIND OF THE LORD  SHALL COME UP  FROM THE WILDERNESS,   AND  HIS SPRING  SHALL BECOME DRY,  AND  HIS FOUNTAIN  SHALL ...

JAMES 1:1-6 JAMES,   A SERVANT OF GOD  AND OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST,   to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. MY BRETHREN,  COUNT IT ALL JOY  WHEN YOU FALL  INTO DIVERS TEMPTATIONS;  KNOWING THIS,  THAT THE TRYING OF YOUR FAITH  WORKETH PATIENCE.  BUT LET PATIENCE HAVE  HER PERFECT WORK,  THAT YE MAY BE  PERFECT AND ENTIRE,  WANTING NOTHING. IF ANY OF YOU LACK WISDOM,   LET HIM ASK OF GOD,  THAT GIVETH TO ALL  MEN LIBERALLY,   AND  UPBRAIDETH NOT;  AND  IT SHALL BE GIVEN HIM. BUT LET HIM  ASK IN FAITH,  NOTHING WAVERING.  FOR HE  THAT WAVERETH  IS  LIKE  A WAVE OF THE SEA  DRIVEN   WITH  THE WIND  AND TOSSED. LOVE

Deuteronomy 26:15-19 LOOK DOWN  FROM THY HOLY HABITATION,  FROM HEAVEN,  AND  BLESS THY PEOPLE  ISRAEL,  AND  THE LAND WHICH THOU HAST GIVEN US,  AS THOU SWAREST UNTO OUR FATHERS ,  A LAND THAT FLOWED  WITH  MILK AND HONEY .   THIS DAY   THE LORD THY GOD  HATH COMMANDED THEE  TO DO THESE  STATUES AND JUDGEMENTS:  THOU SHALT THEREFORE  KEEP AND DO THEM  WITH ALL THINE HEART,  AND  WITH ALL THY SOUL.   THOU HAST AVOUCHED  THE LORD THIS  TO BE THY GOD,  AND  TO WALK IN HIS WAYS,  AND  TO KEEP HIS STATUTES,  AND  HIS COMMANDMENTS,  AND  HIS JUDGEMENTS,   AND  TO HEARKEN  UNTO HIS VOICE.   AND  THE LORD HATH AVOUCHED  THEE THIS DAY  TO BE HIS PECULIAR PEOPLE, AS HE HATH PROMISED THEE,  AND  THAT THOU SHOULDEST   KEEP  ALL HIS COMMANDMEN...

JOHN 14:9-13   JESUS SAITH UNTO HIM, HAVE I BEEN SO LONG TIME WITH YOU, AND YET HAST THOU NOT KNOWN ME, PHILIP? HE THAT HATH SEEN ME HATH SEEN THE FATHER; AND HOW SAYEST THOU THEN, SHOW US THE FATHER? BELIEVEST THOU NOT THAT I AM IN THE FATHER, AND THE FATHER IN ME? THE WORDS THAT I SPEAK UNTO YOU I SPEAK NOT OF MYSELF: BUT THE FATHER THAT DWELLETH IN ME, HE DOETH THE WORKS. BELIEVE ME THAT I AM IN THE FATHER, AND THE FATHER IN ME: OR ELSE BELIEVE ME FOR THE VERY WORKS' SAKE. VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU, HE THAT BELIEVETH ON ME, THE WORKS THAT I DO SHALL HE DO ALSO; AND GREATER WORKS THAN THESE SHALL HE DO, BECAUSE I GO UNTO MY FATHER. AND WHATSOEVER YE SHALL ASK IN MY NAME, THAT WILL I DO, THAT THE FATHER MAY BE GLORIFIED IN THE SON. LOVE

2 Thessalonians 3:1-5   FINALLY, BRETHREN,  PRAY FOR US,  THAT THE WORD  OF THE LORD MAY   HAVE FREE COURSE,  AND  BE GLORIFIED,   EVEN AS IT IS WITH YOU:  AND  THAT WE MAY BE DELIVERED  FROM UNREASONABLE  AND  WICKED MEN:  FOR ALL MEN HAVE NOT FAITH.   BUT  THE LORD IS FAITHFUL,  WHO SHALL STABLISH YOU,   AND  KEEP YOU FROM EVIL.   AND  WE HAVE CONFIDENCE  IN THE LORD TOUCHING YOU,  THAT YE BOTH DO  AND  WILL DO  THE THINGS WHICH WE COMMAND YOU.  AND  THE LORD DIRECT  YOUR HEARTS  INTO THE LOVE OF GOD,   AND  INTO  THE PATIENT  WAITING FOR CHRIST.  LOVE

2 Corinthians 4:7-18   But we have  THIS TREASURE IN EARTHEN VESSELS, THAT  THE EXCELLENCY   OF  THE POWER  MAY BE OF GOD, AND NOT OF US. WE ARE  TROUBLED ON EVERY SIDE,  YET  NOT DISTRESSED;  WE ARE PERPLEXED,  BUT  NOT IN DESPAIR;  PERSECUTED,  BUT  NOT FORSAKEN;  CAST DOWN,  BUT  NOT DESTROYED;  ALWAYS BEARING  ABOUT  IN THE BODY  THE DYING  OF THE LORD JESUS,   that  THE LIFE  also  OF JESUS  might  BE MADE MANIFEST IN OUR BODY. FOR WE  WHICH LIVE ARE  ALWAYS  DELIVERED  UNTO DEATH FOR JESUS' SAKE,  THAT THE LIFE ALSO OF JESUS  MIGHT BE MADE  MANIFEST  IN OUR  MORTAL FLESH.  SO THEN DEATH WORKETH IN US,   BUT  LIFE IN YOU.  WE HAVING  THE SAME SPIRIT OF FAITH,   ACCORDING AS IT IS WRITTEN,...
