GRACE UPON GRACE

REVELATION 16:8-11 AND THE FOURTH ANGEL  POURED OUT HIS VIAL  UPON THE SUN;   AND POWER WAS GIVEN UNTO HIM  TO SCORCH MEN WITH FIRE.  AND  MEN WERE SCORCHED  WITH GREAT HEAT,  AND  BLASPHEMED THE NAME OF GOD,  WHICH HATH POWER  OVER THESE PLAGUES:  AND  THEY REPENTED NOT  TO GIVE HIM GLORY.  AND THE FIFTH  ANGEL POURED  OUT HIS VIAL UPON  THE SEAT OF THE BEAST;  AND  HIS KINGDOM WAS FULL OF DARKNESS;  AND  THEY GNAWED THEIR TONGUES  FOR PAIN,  AND  BLASPHEMED  THE GOD OF HEAVEN  BECAUSE OF THEIR  PAINS AND THEIR SORES,  AND REPENTED NOT OF  THEIR DEEDS.    LOVE

ISAIAH 47:8-15 THEREFORE HEAR NOW THIS,  THOU THAT ART GIVEN  TO PLEASURES,  THAT DWELLEST CARELESSLY,  THAT SAYEST IN THINE HEART,  I AM, AND NONE ELSE  BESIDE ME;  I SHALL NOT SIT AS A WIDOW,  NEITHER SHALL I KNOW  THE LOSS OF CHILDREN: BUT THESE TWO THINGS SHALL  COME TO THEE  IN A MOMENT IN ONE DAY, THE LOSS OF CHILDREN, AND WIDOWHOOD: THEY SHALL COME UPON THEE IN THEIR PERFECTION FOR THE MULTITUDE OF THY SORCERIES, AND FOR THE GREAT ABUNDANCE OF THINE ENCHANTMENTS.   FOR THOU HAST TRUSTED IN THY WICKEDNESS: THOU HAST SAID,  NONE SEETH ME. THY WISDOM AND THY KNOWLEDGE, IT HATH PERVERTED THEE; AND THOU HAST SAID IN THINE HEART, I AM, AND NONE ELSE BESIDE ME. THEREFORE SHALL EVIL COME UPON THEE; THOU SHALT NOT KNOW FROM WHENCE IT RISETH: AND MISCHIEF SHALL FALL UPON THEE; THOU SHALT NOT BE ABLE TO PUT IT OFF: AND DESOLATION SHALL COME UPON THEE SUDDENLY, WHICH THOU SHALT NOT KNOW. STAND NOW  WITH THINE ENCHANTMENTS...

PSALM 90:8-17   THOU HAST SET OUR INIQUITIES BEFORE THEE, OUR SECRET SINS IN THE LIGHT OF THY COUNTENANCE. FOR ALL OUR DAYS ARE PASSED AWAY IN THY WRATH: WE SPEND OUR YEARS AS A TALE THAT IS TOLD . THE DAYS OF OUR YEARS ARE THREESCORE YEARS AND TEN; AND IF BY REASON OF STRENGTH THEY BE FOURSCORE YEARS,  YET IS THEIR STRENGTH LABOUR AND SORROW; FOR IT IS SOON CUT OFF, AND WE FLY AWAY.   WHO KNOWETH THE POWER OF THINE ANGER? EVEN ACCORDING TO THY FEAR, SO IS THY WRATH. SO TEACH US TO NUMBER OUR DAYS, THAT WE MAY APPLY OUR HEARTS UNTO WISDOM. RETURN, O LORD, HOW LONG? AND LET IT REPENT THEE CONCERNING THY SERVANTS. O SATISFY US EARLY WITH THY MERCY; THAT WE MAY REJOICE AND BE GLAD ALL OUR DAYS. MAKE US GLAD ACCORDING TO THE DAYS WHEREIN THOU HAST AFFLICTED US, AND THE YEARS WHEREIN WE HAVE SEEN EVIL. LET THY WORK APPEAR UNTO THY SERVANTS, AND THY GLORY UNTO THEIR CHILDREN. AND LET THE BEAUTY OF THE LORD OUR GOD BE UPON US: AND ESTABLISH THOU THE WORK OF OUR HANDS UPON US;...

EZEKIEL 12:22-28 SON OF MAN, WHAT IS THAT PROVERB THAT YE HAVE IN THE LAND OF ISRAEL, SAYING,  THE DAYS ARE PROLONGED, AND EVERY VISION FAILETH?  TELL THEM THEREFORE, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; I WILL MAKE THIS PROVERB TO CEASE, AND THEY SHALL NO MORE USE IT AS A PROVERB IN ISRAEL;  BUT SAY UNTO THEM, THE DAYS ARE AT HAND AND  THE EFFECT OF EVERY VISION.  FOR THERE SHALL BE NO MORE ANY VAIN VISION  NOR FLATTERING  DIVINATION WITHIN THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL. FOR I AM THE LORD:  I WILL SPEAK, AND  THE WORD THAT I SHALL SPEAK SHALL COME TO PASS;  IT SHALL BE NO MORE PROLONGED:  FOR IN YOUR DAYS,  O REBELLIOUS HOUSE, WILL I SAY THE WORD, AND WILL PERFORM IT,  SAITH THE LORD GOD. AGAIN THE WORD OF THE LORD  CAME TO ME, SAYING.  SON OF MAN, BEHOLD,  THEY OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL SAY,  THE VISION THAT HE SEETH IS FOR MANY DAYS TO COME, AND HE  PROPHESIETH OF THE TIMES  THAT ARE FAR OFF. THEREFORE SAY UNTO T...

Psalms 91:1-16 HE THAT DWELLETH IN THE SECRET PLACE OF THE MOST HIGH SHALL ABIDE UNDER THE SHADOW OF THE ALMIGHTY. I WILL SAY OF THE LORD, HE IS MY REFUGE AND MY FORTRESS: MY GOD; IN HIM WILL I TRUST. SURELY HE SHALL DELIVER THEE FROM THE SNARE OF THE FOWLER, AND FROM THE NOISOME PESTILENCE . HE SHALL COVER THEE WITH HIS FEATHERS, AND UNDER HIS WINGS SHALT THOU TRUST: HIS TRUTH SHALL BE THY SHIELD AND BUCKLER. THOU SHALT NOT BE AFRAID FOR THE TERROR BY NIGHT; NOR FOR THE ARROW THAT FLIETH BY DAY; NOR FOR THE PESTILENCE THAT WALKETH IN DARKNESS; NOR FOR THE DESTRUCTION THAT WASTETH AT NOONDAY. A THOUSAND SHALL FALL AT THY SIDE, AND TEN THOUSAND AT THY RIGHT HAND; BUT IT SHALL NOT COME NIGH THEE. ONLY WITH THINE EYES SHALT THOU BEHOLD AND SEE THE REWARD OF THE WICKED. BECAUSE THOU HAST MADE THE LORD, WHICH IS MY REFUGE, EVEN THE MOST HIGH, THY HABITATION; THERE SHALL NO EVIL BEFALL THEE, NEITHER SHALL ANY PLAGUE COME NIGH THY DWELLING. FOR HE SHALL GIVE HIS ANGELS CHARGE OVER THEE, TO K...

JEREMIAH 17:13-16 O LORD, THE HOPE OF ISRAEL , ALL THAT FORSAKE THEE SHALL BE ASHAMED , AND THEY THAT DEPART FROM ME SHALL BE WRITTEN IN THE EARTH, BECAUSE THEY HAVE FORSAKEN THE LORD, THE FOUNTAIN OF LIVING WATERS. HEAL ME, O LORD, AND I SHALL BE HEALED; SAVE ME, AND I SHALL BE SAVED: FOR THOU ART MY PRAISE. BEHOLD, THEY SAY UNTO ME, WHERE IS THE WORD OF THE LORD? LET IT COME NOW. AS FOR ME, I HAVE NOT HASTENED FROM BEING A PASTOR TO FOLLOW THEE: NEITHER HAVE I DESIRED THE WOEFUL DAY; THOU KNOWEST: THAT WHICH CAME OUT OF MY LIPS WAS RIGHT BEFORE THEE.    love

EZEKIEL 3:7-14 BUT THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL WILL NOT HEARKEN UNTO THEE; FOR THEY WILL NOT HEARKEN UNTO ME: FOR ALL THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL ARE IMPUDENT AND HARD-HEARTED. BEHOLD, I HAVE MADE THY FACE STRONG AGAINST THEIR FACES, AND THY FOREHEAD STRONG AGAINST THEIR FOREHEADS. AS AN ADAMANT HARDER THAN FLINT HAVE I MADE THY FOREHEAD: FEAR THEM NOT, NEITHER BE DISMAYED AT THEIR LOOKS, THOUGH THEY BE A REBELLIOUS HOUSE. MOREOVER HE SAID UNTO ME, SON OF MAN, ALL MY WORDS THAT I SHALL SPEAK UNTO THEE RECEIVE IN THINE HEART, AND HEAR WITH THINE EARS. AND GO, GET THEE TO THEM OF THE CAPTIVITY, UNTO THE CHILDREN OF THY PEOPLE, AND SPEAK UNTO THEM, AND TELL THEM, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; WHETHER THEY WILL HEAR, OR WHETHER THEY WILL FORBEAR. THEN THE SPIRIT TOOK ME UP, AND I HEARD BEHIND ME A VOICE OF A GREAT RUSHING, SAYING, BLESSED BE THE GLORY OF THE LORD FROM HIS PLACE.   I HEARD ALSO THE NOISE OF THE WINGS OF THE LIVING CREATURES THAT TOUCHED ONE ANOTHER, AND THE NOISE OF THE WHEELS OVER AGAI...
