Sharing Scripture (4)

[Easyrider]

Romans 8:5-NLT . . .
Those who are Controlled by the Holy Spirit
Think about Things that Please the Spirit.

1 Corinthians 12:1-NLT . . .

the Holy Spirit gives to Each of Us.

Galatians 5:22-NLT . . .
When the Holy Spirit Controls Our Lives,
HE will Produce this Kind of Fruit in us:
Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness,
Goodness, Faithfulness.

Faith is Inviting GOD’s Holy Spirit to Live Within Us.
It is not just an Act of the Mind, but it taps us
into the very Resources of GOD so that we have
the Power to Live in an Entirely New Way.
If GOD Himself is Living Within Us,
our Lives should be Dramatically Changed!!!

Your hand will be lifted up in triumph over your enemies, and all your foes will be destroyed. (Micah 5:9 NIV)

1 Chronicles 29:17-NLT . . .

when You find Integrity there. You know I have done all
this with Good Motives, and I have watched Your people
offer their Gifts Willingly and Joyously.

The LORD’s Searchlight Penetrates the Human Spirit,
Exposing every Hidden Motive.

Our Motives are Very Important to GOD!!!

And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

 

[cynth]

Luke 23:21

21 But they cried, saying, Crucify him! crucify him!

 

[Esta2220]

Psalm 138:2,3

I bow down toward Your holy temple and give thanks to Your Name for Your steadfast love and Your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things Your Name and Your word.
On the day I called, You answered me; my strength of soul You increased.

 

[Easyrider]

Isaiah 55:3, 6-7-NLT . . .
“Come to me with your ears wide open. Listen, for the life of your Soul
is at stake. I am ready to make an Everlasting Covenant with you.
I will Give you all the Mercies and Unfailing Love that I promised to David.
. . . Seek the LORD while you can find Him. Call on Him now while HE is near.
Let the people turn from their wicked deeds.
Let them banish from their minds the very thought of doing wrong!
Let them turn to the LORD that HE may have Mercy on them.
Yes, Turn to our GOD, for HE will Abundantly Pardon.”

Romans 10:9-13-NLT . . .
If you Confess with your Mouth that JESUS is LORD and Believe
in your Heart that GOD Raised Him from the Dead, you will be Saved.


In Return for our Confession, Repentance, and Faith in Him,
God offers us Mercy, Love, Pardon, and Salvation.
HE generously gives us all His riches!
Our part of the bargain: We give GOD Sin, Brokenness,
Repentance, and Confession. This is a Deal of a Lifetime!!!

"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

[Esta2220]

Proverbs 3:5-8 ESV


Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
and He will make straight your paths.
Be not wise in your own eyes;
fear the LORD, and turn away from evil.
It will be healing to your flesh
and refreshment to your bones.

 

[Easyrider]

Generosity is Sharing
with the Needy.

All must Give as they are Able,
According to the Blessings
Given to Them by the LORD Your GOD.

Generosity involves Sharing
Based on our Blessings.

Matthew 5:27

27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ 28 But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell.

Romans 1:17-NLT . . .
This Good News tells us how GOD
makes us Right in His Sight.
This is Accomplished from

Righteous Person has Life.”

Salvation,
The Greatest of Accomplishments,
is not the Work of our Hands,
but the Work of GOD in Our Hearts!!!

Ecclesiastes 12:13-NLT . . .
Here is my Final Conclusion:
Fear GOD and Obey His Commands,

Isaiah 40


28 Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.

29 He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall; 31 but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

 

[Citizen of the Kingdom]

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

1 Thessalonians 4:16,17 / KJV​

Psalm 127:3-4-NLT . . .
Children are a Gift from the LORD;
They are a Reward from Him.
Children Born to a Young Man
are like Sharp Arrows in a Warrior’s Hands.

Proverbs 23:24-NLT . . .
The Father of Godly Children has Cause for Joy.
What a Pleasure it is to have Wise Children.

Psalm 128:3-4-NLT . . .
Your Wife will be like a Fruitful Vine,
flourishing within your home.
And look at all those children!
There they sit around your table
as Vigorous and Healthy as young
olive trees.
That is the LORD’s Reward
for those who Fear Him.


Our Children are Gifts from GOD!!
We Parents and Grandparents
should Celebrate them,
Love them,
Spend Time with them,
Honor them,
Help them Grow in the LORD!!!

Occupy until He comes...and always be longing for Him above all else. Amen!!

This is so encouraging, thank you for reminding us! What would we do without Him!!

^^awwww you're very welcome! thats one of the scriptures that speaks to me the most and never fails to bring me up when I'm down everytime I read it.

 

[CindyisHis]

John 13:4 So He got up from supper, laid aside His robe, took a towel, and tied it around Himself. 5 Next, He poured water into a basin and began to wash His disciples' feet and to dry them with the towel tied around Him.

12 When Jesus had washed their feet and put on His robe, He reclined again and said to them, "Do you know what I have done for you? 13 You call Me Teacher and Lord. This is well said, for I am. 14 So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. 15 For I have given you an example that you also should do just as I have done for you. 16 " I assure you: A slave is not greater than his master, and a messenger is not greater than the one who sent him. 17 If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them. HCSB

Is the act of washing feet where the blessing lies? If we had lived in that culture in that day we would view this as a practical service to another, and a humble one at that. No one wanted to wash someone's feet, that was a servant's job. The hired help did that. That was about like scrubbing the tub, or plunging a stopped up toilet, or changing a baby's diaper. Yet, it is the mundane tasks we do for each other that brings us joy. This is the secret to happiness. The KJV reads, "If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them."
