GRACE UPON GRACE

ISAIAH 4 AND IN THAT DAY SEVEN WOMEN SHALL TAKE HOLD OF ONE MAN, SAYING, WE WILL EAT OUR OWN BREAD, AND WEAR OUR OWN APPAREL: ONLY LET US BE CALLED BY THY NAME, TO TAKE AWAY OUR REPROACH. IN THAT DAY SHALL THE BRANCH OF THE LORD BE BEAUTIFUL AND GLORIOUS, AND THE FRUIT OF THE EARTH SHALL BE EXCELLENT AND COMELY FOR THEM THAT ARE ESCAPED OF ISRAEL. AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS,  THAT HE THAT IS LEFT IN ZION,  AND HE THAT REMAINETH  IN JERUSALEM,  SHALL BE CALLED HOLY,  EVEN EVERY ONE THAT  IS WRITTEN AMONG THE LIVING IN JERUSALEM:   WHEN THE LORD SHALL HAVE  WASHED AWAY THE FILTH OF THE DAUGHTERS OF ZION,  AND  SHALL HAVE PURGED  THE BLOOD OF JERUSALEM  FROM THE MIDST THEREOF  BY THE SPIRIT OF JUDGMENT,  AND BY THE SPIRIT OF BURNING.   AND THE LORD WILL CREATE UPON EVERY DWELLING  PLACE OF MOUNT ZION,  AND UPON HER ASSEMBLIES,  A CLOUD AND SMOKE BY DAY,  AND  THE SHINING OF A FLAMING FIRE BY ...

PSALM 41:5-6 MINE ENEMIES SPEAK EVIL OF ME, WHEN SHALL HE DIE, AND HIS NAME PERISH? AND IF HE COME TO SEE ME, HE SPEAKETH VANITY: HIS HEART GATHERETH INIQUITY  TO ITSELF; WHEN HE GOETH ABROAD, HE TELLETH IT.   LOVE

HEBREWS 4:6-10 SEEING THEREFORE IT  REMAINETH THAT SOME  MUST ENTER THEREIN,  AND THEY TO WHOM  IT WAS FIRST PREACHED  ENTERED NOT IN BECAUSE OF UNBELIEF: AGAIN, HE LIMITETH A CERTAIN DAY,  SAYING IN DAVID, TO DAY,  AFTER SO LONG A TIME;  AS IT IS SAID,  TO DAY IF YE WILL HEAR HIS VOICE,  HARDEN NOT YOUR HEARTS.  FOR IF JESUS HAD GIVEN THEM REST,  THEN WOULD HE NOT AFTERWARD  HAVE SPOKEN OF ANOTHER DAY.  THERE REMAINETH THEREFORE  A REST TO THE PEOPLE OF GOD.  FOR HE THAT IS ENTERED INTO HIS REST,  HE ALSO HATH CEASED FROM HIS OWN WORKS,  AS GOD DID FROM HIS. LOVE

DANIEL 6:25-26 THEN KING DARIUS WROTE UNTO ALL PEOPLE, NATIONS, AND LANGUAGES, THAT DWELL IN ALL THE EARTH; PEACE BE MULTIPLIED UNTO YOU. I MAKE A DECREE , THAT IN EVERY DOMINION OF MY KINGDOM MEN TREMBLE AND FEAR BEFORE THE GOD OF DANIEL: FOR HE IS THE LIVING GOD, AND STEDFAST FOR EVER, AND HIS KINGDOM THAT WHICH SHALL NOT BE DESTROYED, AND HIS DOMINION SHALL BE EVEN UNTO THE END.   LOVE

 JOHN 16:20-25 VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU,  THAT YE SHALL WEEP AND LAMENT,  BUT THE WORLD SHALL REJOICE: AND YE SHALL BE SORROWFUL, BUT YOUR SORROW SHALL BE TURNED INTO JOY. A WOMAN WHEN SHE IS IN TRAVAIL HATH SORROW, BECAUSE HER HOUR IS COME: BUT AS SOON AS SHE IS DELIVERED OF THE CHILD, SHE REMEMBERETH NO MORE THE ANGUISH , FOR JOY THAT A MAN IS BORN INTO THE WORLD. AND YE NOW THEREFORE HAVE SORROW: BUT I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN, AND YOUR HEART SHALL REJOICE, AND YOUR JOY NO MAN TAKETH FROM YOU . AND IN THAT DAY YE SHALL ASK ME NOTHING. VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU, WHATSOEVER YE SHALL ASK THE FATHER IN MY NAME, HE WILL GIVE IT YOU. HITHERTO HAVE YE ASKED NOTHING IN MY NAME: ASK, AND YE SHALL RECEIVE, THAT YOUR JOY MAY BE FULL. THESE THINGS HAVE I SPOKEN UNTO YOU IN PROVERBS: BUT THE TIME COMETH,  WHEN I SHALL NO MORE SPEAK UNTO YOU IN PROVERBS, BUT I SHALL SHEW YOU PLAINLY OF THE FATHER.  LOVE

ACTS 19:34-37 BUT WHEN THEY RECOGNIZED THAT HE WAS A JEW, THEY ALL SHOUTED IN UNISON, “GREAT IS ARTEMIS OF THE EPHESIANS!” FOR ABOUT TWO HOURS. AFTER THE CITY SECRETARY QUIETED THE CROWD, HE SAID, “MEN OF EPHESUS, WHAT PERSON IS THERE WHO DOES NOT KNOW THAT THE CITY OF THE EPHESIANS IS THE KEEPER OF THE TEMPLE OF THE GREAT ARTEMIS AND OF HER IMAGE THAT FELL FROM HEAVEN ?   SO BECAUSE THESE FACTS ARE INDISPUTABLE,YOU MUST KEEP QUIET AND NOT DO ANYTHING RECKLESS. FOR YOU HAVE BROUGHT THESE MEN HERE WHO ARE NEITHER TEMPLE ROBBERS NOR BLASPHEMERS OF OUR GODDESS.   love

ROMANS 9:17-26   FOR THE SCRIPTURE SAITH UNTO PHARAOH, EVEN FOR THIS SAME PURPOSE HAVE I RAISED THEE UP, THAT I MIGHT SHEW MY POWER IN THEE, AND THAT MY NAME MIGHT BE DECLARED THROUGHOUT ALL THE EARTH. THEREFORE HATH HE MERCY ON WHOM HE WILL HAVE MERCY, AND WHOM HE WILL HE HARDENETH. THOU WILT SAY THEN UNTO ME, WHY DOTH HE YET FIND FAULT? FOR WHO HATH RESISTED HIS WILL ? NAY BUT, O MAN, WHO ART THOU THAT REPLIEST AGAINST GOD? SHALL THE THING FORMED SAY TO HIM THAT FORMED IT, WHY HAST THOU MADE ME THUS? HATH NOT THE POTTER POWER OVER THE CLAY, OF THE SAME LUMP TO MAKE ONE VESSEL UNTO HONOUR, AND ANOTHER UNTO DISHONOUR? WHAT IF GOD, WILLING TO SHEW HIS WRATH, AND TO MAKE HIS POWER KNOWN, ENDURED WITH MUCH LONGSUFFERING THE VESSELS OF WRATH FITTED TO DESTRUCTION: AND THAT HE MIGHT MAKE KNOWN THE RICHES OF HIS GLORY ON THE VESSELS OF MERCY, WHICH HE HAD AFORE PREPARED UNTO GLORY, EVEN US, WHOM HE HATH CALLED, NOT OF THE JEWS ONLY, BUT ALSO OF THE GENTILES? AS HE SAITH ALSO IN OSEE,...
