SPIRITUAL PROTECTION Selected Scriptures Psalm 91 1He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 3Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. 5Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 7A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. 8Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. 9Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; 10There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 11For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 12They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. 13Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. 14Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. 15He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. 16With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

SPIRITUAL PROVISION Selected Scriptures Matthew 6 25Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 26Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? 27Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? 28And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 29And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 31Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Deuteronomy 28 1And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: 2And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God. 3Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field. 4Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. 5Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store. 6Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out. 7The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways. 8The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 9The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways. 10And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee. 11And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee. 12The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow. 13And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them: 14And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them. |
PERFECT RADIANT DIVINE HEALTH |
Healing Teaching Q & A ********************************************************* Q 7. I know that you strongly believe that God desires that all of His children walk in Perfect Radiant Divine Health. Also, that His children have already been healed by the stripes on Christ while He was on the Cross. I have two requests that I would like you to address. First, please give me the basis of your beliefs. Second, would you go to a doctor for a physical ailment? A 7. I will endeavor to answer your first question using seven Truths from FatherLove’ s Word. These truths have anchored my faith in the wonderful knowledge that FatherLove desires that all of His Children walk in Perfect Radiant Divine Health all the days of their life. Moreover, He has provided for this and we as His Children and Members of the Church (the living Body of Christ/Messiah) must RECIEVE this through Faith, Patience and Love. Truth #1. FatherLove’s greatest desire is that we are prosperous and healthy. 3 John 1: 1-4 1The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth. 2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth. 4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. Truth # 2. FatherLove is not a respecter of persons, therefore what He desires for one, He also desires for all. His Word works for everyone. It is how we receive it that makes the difference! Acts 10:34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: 2 Thessalonians 2:10 ….because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 1 Timothy 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to ncome unto the knowledge of the truth. Truth # 3. FatherLove’s original creation of mankind was wonderful and very good, and was like heaven on earth. He provided only good things for mankind to enjoy. It did not include sickness, disease and death. These came only after Adam and Eve disobeyed FatherLove’s commands. Genesis 1: 1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2….. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4And God saw the light, that it was good: …. 10 … and God saw that it was good. 12 ….and God saw that it was good. 18 ….. and God saw that it was good. 21 …. and God saw that it was good. 22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. 25 … and God saw that it was good. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. 31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good….. Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: Romans 5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. Romans 5:17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ. Romans 5:21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. Truth #4. Mission of Christ (Messiah). After Adam and Eve disobeyed FatherLove mankind was under the rulership of the now lying- defeated-adversary satan. As a testament to His wonderful love for mankind FatherLove sent Christ (Messiah) to destroy the works of satan; redeem and restore mankind to his original relationship with Him; and the position of having dominion over the earth. 1 John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. John 10: 9-11 9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 10The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. 11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. Truth # 5. FatherLove sent His Word to Heal mankind. Many say that He gets glory when His Children bear up nobly under the agony of sickness and disease. However, His word says that He gets glory when the blind see and the lame walk and the maimed are made whole! Matthew 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. Matthew 9:35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. Matthew 14:14 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick. Matthew 15: 30-31 And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them: 31Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel. Acts 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. Acts 2:22 … Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: Hebrews 2:4 …God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will? Truth # 6. FatherLove has provided Healing and Perfect Radiant Divine Health to all of his children. It was accomplished as Christ (Messiah) was crucified and Hanging on the Cross. At that time every sickness, disease, maimed or some other imperfection of our spirit, soul and body were placed on Christ (Messiah) as He hung there. 1Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. Isaiah 53: 4-5 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. Numbers 21:8-9 8 And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. 9And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived. John 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: Matthew 8: 17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. Truth # 7. Christ (Messiah) was never sick, and we should not be. We are Members of the Body of Christ (Messiah); We have the Mind of Christ (Messiah); We are Ambassadors for Christ and the Kingdom of Heaven; Our individual body is a Tabernacle; and collectively our bodies form the Body of Christ a Holy Temple; FatherLove and Christ (Messiah) dwell within us; As Christ (Messiah) is so are we in this world; We are joint heirs with Christ (Messiah). Christ (Messiah) set the example. We now represent Christ (Messiah) and are carrying on his work of preaching, teaching and healing. We lay our hands on people and Christ (Messiah) does the healing. When people see us they have a right to ask and receive from us anything they would ask and receive from Christ (Messiah) as if He were present. 1 Corinthians 12:27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. 1 Corinthians 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. Numbers 19:13 Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel:..he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him. 2 Corinthians 5:1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. I Corinthians 6:13-15, 17,19-20 13…..Now the body is …for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. 14And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power. 15Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? …17But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. 19What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. John 2:21 But he spake of the temple of his body. Colossians 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: John 17:22-23 22And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. 1 John 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. Romans 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; … Psalm 107:20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. Acts 3:6 Then Peter said, … such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. I trust that I have helped you to see that not only does FatherLove desire you to be in Perfect Radiant Divine Health, but He has already made provision for it. WE MUST RECEIVE IT BY FAITH! Now, in regard to your Second Question. If any ailment occurs in my spirit, soul or body, I first walk by Faith in FatherLove’s Word believing and also knowing that I have already been healed. I picture in my mind’s eye Christ (Messiah) bearing whatever the ailment is on his body as he hang on the cross. I can truly say that without a doubt I believe and know that He bore the ailment for me, and that I do not have to bare it again. I also fully know that this provision of perfect radiant divine health is already mine in the spiritual realm. Also, that I must use my faith, patience and love in order to receive it into manifestation in the physical realm. It is according to my faith that it is done unto me. Therefore, I am regularly practicing applying my faith in order to increase it and make it stronger. However, should at anytime I feel that I need to see a physician regarding any ailment, I make an appointment with our family doctor. I also know that all healing comes from FatherLove and that physicians can aid in the healing process. I talk regularly with my FatherLove and I tell Him that I fully know that he has already provided for my complete and total healing and that I Believe I Receive. In His Love! ***************************************** |
MORE ABUNDANT LIFE |
Becoming More Like Christ/Messiah Steps To Help In Attaining The More Abundant Life Matthew 6 31Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. FatherGod (i.e. FatherLove -1John4:8) desires that we HIS Children become more and more like Our Lord, Savior and Brother Christ/Messiah in our daily lives. Now, please think about this question, “How can we become more like Christ/Messiah? Being an engineer as one of my several professions, along with my desire to be a doer of FatherLove’s Holy Word (James 1:22-26), I naturally had to explore an answer to this question for myself. As part of the process of becoming more and more Christlike, we are told to put off the old man and to put on the new man. How in practical terms do we actually do this? In this article, I first, explore our human capabilities and discover that our every ability can be broadly classified into (1) Thinking Thoughts, and/or (2) Performing Actions. Also, Actions consist of speaking words and performing deeds (i.e., thought, word and deed). Second, I look at what type of thoughts, words and deeds Our Loving Heavenly FatherLove desires that we think, speak and do. Third, I look at the three-fold nature of FatherLove’s Children, which are: Holy Spirit, Soul and Body, examining the nature of each, in light of FatherLove’s desired standard for each. Last, I look further at FatherLove's concern for the use of our mouth/tongue and the words that we choose to speak. In summary, by knowing that I only have to control three types of activities (thinking, speaking and doing) along with knowing FatherLove's standards for my resultant thoughts, words and deeds has helped me to be a better doer of FatherLove’s Holy Word and I sincerely hope that it will help you also. LIKE CHRIST/MESSIAH (selected scriptures) (Romans 8:29) For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. (1John 3:1-2) 1Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: …2Beloved, now are we the sons of God,…. (1John 4:8,16-17) 8..for God is love. 16And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 17Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. (John 17:16-18) 16They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. 18As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. (2Corinthians 4:7-12) 7But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. 10Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 12So then death worketh in us, but life in you. (Ephesians 4:13) Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ: OLD MAN AND NEW MAN (selected scriptures) Ephesians 4:21-25) If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: 22That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 23And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. 25Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. ******************************************************* TOTAL SUM OF HUMAN CAPABILITY Thinking & Action All Action is the Fruit of Thought Thoughts are mental impulses that communicate with every cell of our body. Actions are Speaking Words and Performing Deeds. Words are Spoken Thoughts. Deeds are Thoughts In Action. Thought, Word & Deed. As We Think In Our Heart So Are We. Change Your Thinking and Change Your Life. **************************************************** FATHERLOVE’S STANDARD FOR THINKING THOUGHTS (Philippians 4:8) Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. (2Corinthians 10: 3-7) 3For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. 7Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? if any man trust to himself that he is Christ's, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ's, even so are we Christ's. ***************************************************** FATHERLOVE’S STANDARD FOR WORDS/ SPOKEN THOUGHTS (Ephesians 4:15) But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: (John 17:17) Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. (Joshua 1:8) This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. (Colossians 3:16-18) 16Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. (Colossians 4:5) ….Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man. (Ephesians 4:29-30) 29Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. 30And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. *********************************************************** FATHERLOVE’S STANDARD FOR PERFORMING DEEDS/THOUGHTS IN ACTION (Romans, Ephesians) Be Kind, Tender, Forgiving, Love, Bless, Do Good and Pray for All. (James 1:22,25) 22But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 25But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. (James 1:26) If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. (2Corinthians 5:7) For we walk by faith, not by sight. (Habakkuk 2:4) The just shall live by his faith. (Matthew 9:29) According to your faith be it unto you. (Joshua 1:8) This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. (1John 4:7-16) 7Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 9In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. 12No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. 13Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. 14And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. 15Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 16And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. (Colossians 3:16-18) 16Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. *********************************************** FATHERLOVE'S CHILDREN CONSIST OF HOLY SPIRIT, SOUL AND BODY (HOLY SPIRIT) Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, Meekness, Temperance (Galatians 5:22-23) 22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. (1John 4: selected verses) 7Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 9In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. 13Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. 15Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 16And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. (SOUL) Mind, Will, Emotions, Intellect, Imagination, Attitude, Character, Self-Image, Self-Confidence, Self-Awareness (3John1:2) Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. (Psalm23:3) He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. (BODY) Perfect Radiant Health (Healed) (Romans 12:1) I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. (Psalm 139:14) I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. (Genesis 1: selected verses) 26And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over … every …thing …upon the earth. 27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. 31And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. …. (1Peter 2:24) Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. (Isaiah 53:4-5) 4Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. (Numbers 21:8-9) 8And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. 9And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived. (John 3:14) And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: (2Corinthians 4:7-12) 7But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. 10Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 12So then death worketh in us, but life in you. ***************************************************** FATHERLOVE’S CONCERN FOR THE USE OF OUR MOUTH/TONGUE We hope that these scriptures will help to increase and strengthen your awareness of the importance of our mouth/tongue and Our Loving Heavenly Father’s concern with the words we choose to speak. (James 1:26) If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. (Numbers 14:28) Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you. (Isaiah 57:19) I create the fruit of the lips… (Job 22:28) Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee. (James 3: 2-13) 2 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man , and able also to bridle the whole body. 3Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body. 4Behold also the ships , which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm , whithersoever the governor listeth. 5Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! 6And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members , that it defileth the whole body , and setteth on fire the course of nature ; and it is set on fire of hell. 7For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed , and hath been tamed of mankind: 8But the tongue can no man tame ; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. 9Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. 10Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. 11Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? 12Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries ? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.13Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. (Proverbs 30:32) ….If thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth. *********************************************** |
