....and will make you prosper more than before

And I will multiply the number of people upon you, even the whole house of Israel. The towns will be inhabited and the ruins rebuilt. 11 I will increase the number of men and animals upon you, and they will be fruitful and become numerous. I will settle people on you as in the past and will make you prosper more than before. Then you will know that I am the LORD. Ezekiel 36: 10-11 You will be their inheritance I will cause people, my people Israel, to walk upon you. They will possess you, and you will be their inheritance; you will never again deprive them of their children. Ezekiel 36: 12 You will no longer make your nation childless 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Because people say to you, "You devour men and deprive your nation of its children," Therefore you will no longer devour men or make your nation childless, declares the Sovereign LORD. Ezekiel 36:13-14 No longer will you suffer the scorn of the peoples No longer will I make you hear the taunts of t

For you have lifted me up, and have not let my foes rejoice over me

I will extol you O Lord for you have lifted me up, and have not let my foes rejoice over me. O Lord my God, I cried out to you and You healed me. You brought my soul up from the grave; you have kept me alive that I should not go down to the pit Sing praise to the Lord you saints of His, and give thanks at the remembrance Of His holy name For His anger is but for a moment His favour is for life; weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning. Now in my prosperity, I said, I shall never be moved” Psalm 301-6 You have made my mountain stand strong Lord by your favour, You have made my mountain stand strong; You hid your face and I was troubled. I cried out to You, O Lord; and the Lord I made my supplication: What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it declare your truth? Hear O Lord and have mercy on me; Lord be my helper!” Psalm 30:7-10 clothed me with gladness You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; you have pu

They surrounded me like bees; they were quenched like a fire of thorns

The Lord is on my side I will not fear, What can man do tome The Lord is for me among those who help me Therefore I shall see my desire on those who hate me It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in Man. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in Princes. All nations surrounded me but in the name of the Lord I will destroy them They surrounded me like bees; they were quenched like a fire of thorns, For in the name of the Lord, I will destroy them You pushed me violently that I might fall but the Lord helped me The Lord is my strength and song and He has become my salvation Psalm 118: 4-14 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tent of the righteous The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tent of the righteous: The right hand of the Lord does valiantly, The right hand of the lord is exalted, The right hand of the lord does valiantly Psalm 118:15-16 The stone which the builders rejected I shall not die but live And declare the goodness

Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit

Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the spirit., if any affection or mercy, Fulfill my joy by being likeminded , having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind, let each esteem others better than him self. Let each of you look out not only for his own interest, but also for the interest of others. Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus. Phil 2: 1-5 He humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death Who being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal to God. But made himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death on the cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and given Him the name which is above every name Phil 2: 6-9 And that e

You do not have because you do not ask

Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members? You lust and do not have, you murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask You ask and do not receive because you ask amiss that you may spend it on your pleasures. Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. Or do you think that scripture says in vain, “The spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously?” But he gives more grace. Therefore he says “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” James 4:1-6 Cleanse your hands Therefore submit to God, resist the Devil and He will flee from you Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning an

For by grace you have been saved through faith

But God, who is rich in mercy because of His great love with which he loved us, Even when we were dead in trespasses made us alive together with Christ (buy grace you have been saved). And raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. That in the ages to come, He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His loving kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of your selves, it is the gift of God, Not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:4-10 And he came and preached peace to you who were afar off Having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace. And that he might reconcile them both to God in one body though the cross, thereby pu

The Lord will strengthen him on his bed of illness

Blessed is he who considers the poor, the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble. The Lord will preserve Him and keep him alive, and he will be blessed on the earth. You will not deliver him to he will of his enemies. The Lord will strengthen him on his bed of illness; you will sustain him on his sick bed. I said “Lord be merciful to me; heal my soul for I have sinned against You”. My enemies speak evil of me “when will he die, and his name perish?” Psalm 41:1-5 … Against me they devise my hurt And if he comes to see me, he speaks lies his heart gathers iniquity to itself: when he goes out, he tells it. All who hate me whisper together against me; against me they devise my hurt “An evil disease” they say “clings to him and now that he lies down, He will rise up no more” Psalm 41:6-8 My enemy does not triumph over me. Even my own familiar friend in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted up his heel against me But You O Lord be merciful to me and raise me up that I may repay the

Even from everlasting to everlasting you are God

Lord you have been our dwelling place in all the generations Before the mountains were brought forth or ever, You had formed the earth and the world Even from everlasting to everlasting you are God. You turn man to destruction, And say “return Oh children of men” For a thousand years in your sight are like yesterday When it is past and like a watch in the night. You carry them away like a flood, they are like a sleep. In the morning they are like grass which grows up In the morning it flourishes and grows up; in the evening it is cut down and withers. For we have been consumed by your anger and by your wrath we are terrified You have set our iniquities before You, Our secret sins in the light of your countenance Psalm 90:1-8 Yet their boast is only labour and sorrow For all our days have passed away in your wrath, We finish our years like a sigh The days of our lives are seventy years And if by any reason of strength, They are eighty years old, Yet their boast is only labour and sorrow
