GRACE UPON GRACE

  MATTHEW 13:18-22 HEAR YE THEREFORE  THE PARABLE OF THE SOWER. WHEN ANY ONE HEARETH  THE WORD OF THE KINGDOM,  AND UNDERSTAND IT NOT,  THEN COMETH THE WICKED ONE,  AND CATCHETH AWAY  THAT WHICH  WAS SOWN IN HIS HEART.  THIS IS HE WHICH  RECEIVED SEED BY THE WAY SIDE.  BUT HE THAT RECEIVED  THE SEED INTO STONY PLACES,  THE SAME IS HE  THAT HEARETH  THE WORD,  AND ANON WITH JOY  RECEIVETH IT;  YET HATH HE NOT ROOT IN HIMSELF,  BUT DURETH FOR AWHILE:  FOR WHEN  TRIBULATION OR PERSECUTION  ARISETH  BECAUSE OF  THE WORD  BY AND BY HE IS OFFENDED.  HE ALSO THAT RECEIVED  SEED AMONG  THORNS IS HE  THAT HEARETH THE WORD;  AND  THE CARE OF THIS WORLD  AND  THE DECEITFULNESS OF RICHES,  CHOKE THE WORD,  AND  HE BECOMETH UNFRUITFUL.   LOVE    

DEUTERONOMY 7:6-8 FOR THOU ART AN HOLY PEOPLE UNTO THE LORD THY GOD: THE LORD THY GOD HATH CHOSEN THEE TO BE A SPECIAL PEOPLE UNTO HIMSELF, ABOVE ALL PEOPLE THAT ARE UPON THE FACE OF THE EARTH. THE LORD DID NOT SET HIS LOVE UPON YOU, NOR CHOOSE YOU, BECAUSE YE WERE MORE IN NUMBER THAN ANY PEOPLE; FOR YE WERE THE FEWEST OF ALL PEOPLE: BUT  BECAUSE  THE LORD LOVED YOU,  AND  BECAUSE HE WOULD  KEEP  THE OATH WHICH HE  HAD SWORN UNTO  YOUR FATHERS,  HATH THE LORD BROUGHT  YOU OUT WITH  A MIGHTY HAND,  AND  REDEEMED YOU OUT  OF  THE HOUSE OF BONDMEN,  FROM  THE HAND OF PHARAOH KING OF EGYPT.   LOVE

MATTHEW 5:17-19 THINK NOT THAT  I AM COME TO DESTROY  THE LAW, OR THE PROPHETS:  I AM NOT COME TO DESTROY,  BUT TO FULFIL.  FOR VERILY  I SAY UNTO YOU,  TILL HEAVEN AND EARTH PASS,  ONE JOT OR ONE TITTLE  SHALL  IN NO WISE PASS  FROM THE LAW,  TILL ALL BE FULFILLED.  WHOSOEVER THEREFORE SHALL BREAK ONE OF THESE LEAST COMMANDMENTS, AND SHALL TEACH MEN SO, HE SHALL BE CALLED THE LEAST IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN: BUT WHOSOEVER SHALL DO AND TEACH THEM, THE SAME SHALL BE CALLED GREAT IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.   LOVE

MATTHEW 5:7 Blessed  are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.   LOVE

REVELATION 14:13-16 AND  I HEARD  A VOICE FROM HEAVEN SAYING  UNTO ME,  WRITE,  BLESSED  ARE  THE DEAD  WHICH DIE IN  THE LORD FROM HENCEFORTH:  YEA, SAITH THE SPIRIT,  THAT THEY MAY REST  FROM THEIR LABOURS;  AND  THEIR WORKS  DO FOLLOW THEM.  AND  I LOOKED, AND BEHOLD  A WHITE CLOUD,  AND  UPON THE CLOUD  ONE SAT  LIKE UNTO THE SON OF MAN,  HAVING ON HIS HEAD  A GOLDEN CROWN,  AND  IN HIS HAND  A SHARP SICKLE.  AND  ANOTHER ANGEL  CAME OUT OF  THE TEMPLE,  CRYING  WITH A LOUD VOICE  TO HIM THAT  SAT ON THE CLOUD,  THRUST IN THY SICKLE, AND REAP:  FOR  THE TIME IS COME  FOR THEE TO REAP;  FOR  THE HARVEST OF THE EARTH IS RIPE.  AND  HE THAT SAT  ON THE CLOUD  THRUST IN HIS SICKLE  ON THE EARTH;  AND  THE EARTH WAS REAPED.    LOVE   ...
