365 PROMISES

[farouk]

For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

@Pearl I do indeed love the Ephesians 6 Armour of God passage, showing that's it all first and foremost spiritual...

 

[Pearl]

The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him,
and he delivers them.

 

[Pearl]

And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.

 

[Pearl]

The Lord gives strength to his people;
the Lord blesses his people with peace.

 

[Truman]

The Lord gives strength to his people;
the Lord blesses his people with peace.

Faithful to His word! Hallelujah!

 

[farouk]

The Lord gives strength to his people;
the Lord blesses his people with peace.

@Pearl I remember enjoying this verse over 30 years ago...

 

[Pearl]

Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;

 

[farouk]

And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.

@Pearl

There's that word 'abound' from Paul again.

In 1 Corinthians 15.58, Paul speaks of 'always abounding in the work of the Lord', in the light of the victory which believers have in the risen Christ.

 

[farouk]

PS: That comparison from 1 Corinthians 15.58 and 2 Corinthians 9.8 would preach well, I think; would make a good message...

 

[Pearl]

The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. 17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

 

[Pearl]

Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe,

 

[Pearl]

Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.

 

[Pearl]

The Lord is good to all;
he has compassion on all he has made.

 

[Pearl]

For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession.

 

[Pearl]

You have searched me, Lord,
and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.

 

[farouk]

@Pearl Great verses and pictures there!

 

[farouk]

Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe,

@Pearl 'An Unshakable Kingdom' is indeed the title of a commentary on Hebrews....

 

[Pearl]

. . . because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.

 

[Pearl]

The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”

 

[farouk]

Earthly words are not enough to describe His worthiness!
Perhaps the word, "Behold!" will suffice for now.

"Worthy is the Lamb" is in Revelation 5...
