Spirit will tell you want he receives from me.
Ephesians 1:18-20 I pray that God will open your minds to see his truth. Then you will know...that God's power is very great for us who believe. It is the same as the mighty power he used to raise Christ from death and put him at his right side in the heavenly places.
The Getting of Wisdom
James 1:5-8 Do any of you need wisdom? Ask God for it. He is generous and enjoys giving to everyone. So he will give you wisdom. But when you ask God, you must believe. Don't doubt him. Whoever doubts is like a wave in the sea that is blown up and down by the wind. People like that are thinking two different things at the same time. They can never decide what to do, So they should not think they will receive anything from the Lord.
The Fourth of July
1 Corinthians 12:26-27 If one part of the body suffers, then all the other parts suffer with it. Or if one part is honoured, then all the other parts share its honour. All of you together are the body of Christ. Each one of you is a part of that body.
It's Time to Get Off the Merry-Go-Round
John 8:36 So if the Son makes you free, you are really free.
Up and Down and Round and Round
Psalm 34:11-14 Children, come and listen to me, I will teach you to respect the Lord. Do you want to enjoy life? Do you want to have many happy days? Then avoid saying anything hurtful, and never let a lie come out of your mouth. Stop doing anything evil and do good. Look for peace and do all you can to help people live peacefully.
The Power to Be Holy
2 Peter 1:3-4 Jesus has the power of God. And his power has given us everything we need to live a life devoted to God. We have these things because we know him. Jesus chose us by his glory and goodness, through which he also gave us the very great and rich gifts that he promised us. With these gifts you can share in being like God. And so you will escape the ruin that comes to people in the world because of the evil things they want.
Your Enemies Will Not Prosper
Isaiah 54:17 No weapon that is fashioned against you shall prosper, and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgement. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their vindication from me, says the Lord. (NRSV)
When the Bad Guys Are Winning
Romans 8:38-39 Yes, I am sure that nothing can separate us from God's love - not death, life, angels, or ruling spirits. I am sure that nothing now, nothing in the future, no powers, nothing above us or nothing below us - nothing in the whole created world - will ever be able to separate us from the love God has shown us in Christ Jesus our Lord.
The Feeling Is Gone
Philippians 1:6 I am sure that the good work God began in you will continue until he completes it on the day when Jesus Christ comes again.
God's Blessing - Hidden in Plain Sight
Psalm 133:1-3 Oh, how wonderful, how pleasing it is when God's people all come together as one! It is like the sweet-smelling oil that is poured over the high priest's head, that runs down his beard flowing over his robes. It is like a gentle rain from Mount Hermon falling on Mount Zion. It is there that the Lord has promised his blessing of eternal life.
