John 16:33 - "I have told you these things, so that in me you may
have peace... In this world you will have trouble... But take heart!
I have overcome the world."
My Word is so Powerful; it has been described
as being a Lamp unto your feet and a Light
unto your path." Psalms 119:105
Love in the Word made Alive...For He is the Word; He makes it Alive and Powerful.
Open Up that Book... Seek Him while He still May Be Found...
Find Peace, Hope Love and Joy.
John 3:8 "The wind blows where it wishes,
and you hear the sound of it,
but cannot tell where it comes from
and where it goes.
So is everyone who is born of the Spirit."
"And such is our confidence
we have through Christ toward God.
Not that we are adequate of ourselves,
but our adequacy is from God"
2 Corinthians 3:5
God is Love and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. Let Him Love you...
May You be a Blessing and, Others be Blessed by you.
Touch my heart and I'll touch yours With a gentle word or two, For kindness bears the sweetest fruit That makes our dreams come true.Touch my life with tenderness And fill my cup with love. Share my dreams as I share yours Beyond the stars aboveTake my hand as I grow old And lead me when I'm blind. Show me that you really care Good Friends are hard to find.Touch my heart and I'll touch yours A little more each day And then we will both find happiness Somewhere along the way.

Thats My King! DO YOU KNOW HIM?
Lord Jesus, my Friend, please come and save me so I can be with You forever. I believe You died for me and rose from the dead. So, please, set me free from anything that would separate me from You. Thanks for washing me clean of sin with your precious Blood. And thanks for Your great love for me.
Continue to Pray to the Lord in your own words.
In return for Jesus taking our sin, those who put their faith in Him get His righteousness instead of their own.
It's our trust in Jesus that imparts the righteousness of Jesus into our born-again spirit that makes us in right standing with God...
True there is none righteous, no not one...not of ourselves, not by what we say or think, lest it be from Him inspiried By Him through us...
Word of Knowledge, a word of phophecy, His wisdom is all we need...man gets in trouble when he loses control of his tongue.
Those who don't understand this righteousness which comes from God as a gift, become frustrated trying to establish their own righteousness through good works (Rom. 10:3)
It won't work. It's an all or nothing situation (Rom. 11:6)
We must trust completely in what Jesus did for us to obtain right relationship with God.
Any trust in our own goodness will void the atonement Christ made for us (Gal. 5:4)
" For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world - our faith." 1 John 5:4
" So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." Romans 10:17
" But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." Hebrews 11:6
THEY SHALL UTTER THE MEMORY OF THY GREAT GOODNESS, AND SHALL SING OF THY RIGHTEOUSNESS...PS.145:7
John 1:14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the father full of grace and love. Again, God coming and dwelling among his people, and we know today that Yeshua dwells in our heart by faith. Revelation 21:3,4 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.
Is Freedom the Absence of Problems, Pain or Sorrow in our lives?
Freedom is what reigns in our heart... because Liberty has set us free....Joy comes from the deepest inner part of the Spirit...Freedom and Joy walk hand in hand
If you're a born~again, Spirit filled believer in Jesus Christ the Messiah/ Yeshua HaMachiach.... then knowing the Lord, and seeking after Him daily; praying in all things; giving Him all our pain and sorrow, All your hurts and plans in your life is what keeps you free...It's where you can find that joy, reguardly of what youre going through... We must trust in His Word... His unfailing Kindness toward us is what lifts us when we hurt... He has a way of using people around us to bring a word of encouragement that speaks to the situation youre in at that moment your feeling it. Isn't it wonderful to know that He care so much for what we are and what we're going through. To me, my friend that's the freedom to love and trust and know Our Lord walks with us in freedom, Giving us the Joy to help us make it through to the end. By Faith in The Lord Jesus Christ... From minute unto minute...Trusting that each step we take He's walking with us~ and walking us through it. If you know the Lord, He wants you to see His hand is in it. He makes himself known... knowing this is what will draw you out of your pain and sorrow and back to his loving arms. Back onto the Path He has set before you child of God. Allow him to do His Perfect work today.... amen
rejoice
Psalm 119:32, "I run in the path of your commands, for you have set my heart free."John 8:31-32, To the Jews who had believed him, Yeshua said, " If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
Psalms5:11-12
But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee... 12... For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with Favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
Heb 3:15
While it is said, Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
Jeremiah 29:13
13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
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.
Philippians 3:13,14
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before... I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
WHATEVER YOU'RE READY TO BIRTH, SPEAK IT WITH YOUR MOUTH... Tired of your circumstances, Speak change to your situation, Ask God to help you "to speak change" or show you how to change that situation~ Now Today.... Never put off until tomorrow ~ What you can do today...it never gets done that way...Because we forget how God is impressing us. and arranging things to work it out.
Folks, God has all the answer we need...We just need to tap into them...How You Say?
Ask Him~ Pray and Seek His Face...Prayer changes things... Seek not only His hand, We must seek to see His face, and to see clearly.
When you were a small child, did your Mother ever take your chin in her hand and say, "Look me in the face." Look at me when you speak." Eye to eye contact is sincere heartfelt language, there nothing hidden face to face...and if you can't look God in the eye's, or even your fellowman...Do you have issues? Perhaps... Now is the time to Deal with them...Get Rid of them. They can hold you back as long as you allow them to remain a part of your life. Repent for them... Our God is a forgiving God. He wants you to see His face, not only his backside passing by...Meaning He is working in Your Life, He is in the situations you are facing... He has worked on your behalf...but only because someone else prayed for you. And, you see the reward of someone else's labor.. but you see only the back~side as God walks away. His way of saying...I am for you not against you...I am here if you will seek me...you will see me clearer each time. Praise Him.
~John 16:33 - "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
"There is laid up for me a crown of righteousness."-2 Timothy 4:8
upon the dearly Beloved Saints of God...
Doubting one! Have you often thought, "I fear I shall never enter heaven." Fear not... all the people of God shall enter there. I love the quaint saying of a dying man, who exclaimed, "I have no fear of going home; I have sent all before me; God's finger is on the latch of my door, and I am ready for Him to enter." "But," I heard it said, "are you not afraid lest you should miss your inheritance?" "Nay," there is one crown in heaven which the angel Gabriel could not wear, it will fit no head but mine... There is one throne in heaven which Paul the apostle could not fill; it was made for me...and I shall have it."
What a joyous thought! Your portion is secure; "There remaineth a rest." "But cannot I forfeit it?" No, it is entitled... If I be a child of God I shall not lose it.
It is mine as securely as if I were there. Come with me, believer, and let us sit upon the top of Nebo, and view the goodly land, even Canaan. Seest thou that little river of death glistening in the sunlight, and across it dost thou see the pinnacles of the eternal city? Dost thou mark the pleasant country, and all its joyous inhabitants? Know, then, that if thou couldst fly across thou wouldst see written upon one of its many mansions... "This remaineth for such a one; preserved for him only. He shall be caught up to dwell for ever with God."
Poor doubting one, see the fair inheritance; it is thine. If thou believest in the Lord Jesus, if thou hast repented of sin, if thou hast been renewed in heart, thou art one of the Lord's people, and there is a place reserved for thee, a crown laid up for thee, a harp specially provided for thee.
No one else shall have thy portion, it is reserved in heaven for thee, and thou shalt have it ere long, for there shall be no vacant thrones in glory when all the chosen are gathered in.
~ John 1:12-13~ God is the Light of the world... He is the Spirit of all Truth, The Hope of all future, The Peace of all Hearts...He is the song Of our Souls.
After His resurrection Yeshua ascended back to Heaven, but before He did He promised to return in power and great glory to defend Israel against all the aggressing nations of the world. In that day He will again raise up the throne of His father, David. He will fulfill His second mission as Mashiach. Then, He will be revealed as the Eternally Existent One, G-d, YHVH Himself. All who trust Him and try to follow His Teaching now will be saved; all who deny Him will be in danger of destruction at that time, since they have no blood covering their sins. However, He is the only judge and arbiter of who will be preserved. The judge of the earth will do rightly.
Love your Neighbor, You can't make anyone love you but, You can be loving in their eyes...Love heals all wounds, not time. Show some Love today...forgiving one another, as God has forgiven you..."forgive yourself" Turn your darkness into His Glorious Light...For He alone is Judge; and He can lead you into all truth...if you ask him...He is willing. He is faithful to finish the work he started in you. If you dont know Him...Seek Him, while He still may be found...He will not turn anyone away, who seek Him with all your heart, mind, and soul. Love is the answer " 1JOHN :7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 9 In 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. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. 12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. 13 Hereby know that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. 15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 16 And 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. 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. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 19 We love him, because he first loved us.
"I have prayed for thee."-Luke 22:32How encouraging is the thought of the Redeemer's never-ceasing intercession for us. When we pray, He pleads for us; and then we are not praying, He is advocating our cause, and by His supplications shielding us from unseen dangers. Notice the word of comfort addressed to Peter-"Simon, Simon, Satan hath desired to have you that he may sift you as wheat; but"-what? "But go and pray for yourself." That would be good advice, but it is not so written. Neither does he say, "But I will keep you watchful, and so you shall be preserved." That were a great blessing. No, it is, "But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not." We little know what we owe to our Saviour's prayers. When we reach the hill-tops of heaven, and look back upon all the way whereby the Lord our God hath led us, how we shall praise Him who, before the eternal throne, undid the mischief which Satan was doing upon earth. How shall we thank Him because He never held His peace, but day and night pointed to the wounds upon His hands, and carried our names upon His breastplate! Even before Satan had begun to tempt, Jesus had forestalled him and entered a plea in heaven. Mercy outruns malice. Mark, He does not say, "Satan hath desired to have you." He checks Satan even in his very desire, and nips it in the bud. He does not say, "But I have desired to pray for you." No, but "I have prayed for you: I have done it already; I have gone to court and entered a counterplea even before an accusation is made." O Jesus, what a comfort it is that thou hast pleaded our cause against our unseen enemies; countermined their mines, and unmasked their ambushes. Here is a matter for joy, gratitude, hope, and confidence.
God always answers prayers, And sometimes he does it through People just like You.John 15:7"If you remain in me and my wordsremain in you, ask whatever youwish, and it will be given you"
Proverbs 14:12
"There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death."
Love to you my precious friends,Pamela
Someone taught you how to love and probably didn't know it and in return with every day it's now your turn to show it
When you love you give a gift and when you're gone it stays to be passed on by the ones you loved to make some one else's day
So remember someone who loved you and show how much you care by sharing all the love they gave with people every where
When you give away your love that doesn't mean it's gone Love will last forever So open your heart and Pass On Some Love.
"Spiritual Woman"
Wordly women wonder where my secret lies, I'm not flashy, conceited, or caught up in my size. But when I tell them it's the Jesus in me, they think I'm telling lies--I say its in the strength of God's arms, The feel of His love, He orders my steps, Honey, I'm covered in the blood!!I'm a Woman, Spiritually. A Sanctified Woman- -that's me! I walk into church, just as cool as I please I may grab a fan and raise my hand Or worship falling down on my knees. The Spirit comes up out of me To make my soul fly free..I say it's the fire in my bones Unspeakable joy that's so sweet. It's the wind in my dance, On my Holy Ghost feet...I'm a Woman, Spititally. A Holy-Ghost filled Woman---That's me! Men themselves have wondered what they see in me, oh they try so much but they cannot touch, My inner chastity--When I try to tell them those lustful eyes still can't see... I say "No, I am not going back, I am not fooled by your smile, I'm waiting on God: Worldly men cramp my style!"I am a Woman, Spiritually, A living Sacrifical Woman, that's me! Now you understand just why my head is not bowed, why I shout and jump about or praise and sing out loud? When you see my light shining, it ought to make you proud...I say it is the faith I have in Jesus through all my ups and downs, each experience, a testimony leading straight to my crown!

Prayer is our Shield
THE SHIELD OF FAITH...The Word of God~ reveals to us: "It's More then just a Shield...
Jesus Said: "Above all...Under the Helmet of Our Salvation...Take Up The Shield Of Faith." which is the word.
The Shield Is above all the other good things.
The Shield is Created in the Spiritual Realm, by taking hold of it, as it is Created by The Word of God radiating In You...
it moves in you... The Word of God in you.
Hebrews 11:1 "Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Jesus says: "If you abide in me....And if My Word abides in you... You may ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you."
So, as you Take Up the Shield of Faith... Don't let other things, negative words well up in you, to choke the Word of Faith given to you...
Reguardless of what happens...the Shield doesn't change, the word doent change, but you allowed His Living Word to be choked out... therefore, the Shield, like unto plexiglass around you, is lowered... and Your words spoken will come to pass... You dropped, or lowered God Shield of Faith...
HEBREWS 11:16 "For without Faith it is impossible to please God... For he that comes to God must believe that He Is (God) and that he is the rewarder of them that deligently seek him..."
Mark 9:24 says: Lord I believe, but, Help my unbelief...So unbelief lowers our shield.
Romans 3:3 "For what if Some did not believe? Shall their unbelief make The Faith of God without effect? No
The anointed Word of God...Does not return void. It will go whereto He sends it....Psalms 89:34 "My Covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that has gone out of my Lips, says the Lord."
Matthew 21:21`22 "Verily I say unto you, If you have faith, and doubt not, You shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be cast into the sea; it shall be done. 22. And all things, whatsoever you ask in prayer, believing, you shall have whatsoever you ask."
His Word shall endure Forever... God is Faith~full. Have Faith today... Be faithful witnesses...Let brotherly (Sisterly)Love continue...Be made perfect by His Love within us...
Romans 8:28 "For we know that All things work together for Good to them that love God." I love you...Pamela
Proverbs 12:25...You may not be able to change your circumstances just yet...but, you can change your Attitude now by what you speak to yourself. Have faith, Speak Loving Words,(The Word) and Encourage yourself and others in the Faith. Walk the Narrow way. The broad road lead to death. The Way of Truth, leads to Life, and a life more abundant....Pamela
A HAPPY HEART...AND A LOVING SOUL...Gods Gentle Path ETERNALLY YOURS...IF YOU'RE A CHILD OF THE PROMISE... GOD IS GOOD. HE IS FAIThFUL, KIND TO ALL HIS CHILDREN. HE DISCIPLES THOSE HE LOVES, AND CALLED TO HIS PURPOSE.
MATT.7:11 I believe that Salvation is through (Yeshua meaning salvation in Hebrew) Yeshua /Jesus. It is through Him alone are you saved. This is not religion to me, but a relationship, A WALK. A way of life...the essence of my faith in Him, given by Him. who called me out of darkness, and into His Glorious Light, that I may know Him, and the Power of His Resurrection, by the Spirit of Truth, He Stands, Therefore, in Truth and the Light of His Word,(For He Is The Word). I shall Stand in Him and For Him. He will guide all those into His truth, those whom He calls, those whom he wills to show favor, and give his Precious Life through. by which His everlasting Life shall remain. Eternal in Him...
A PROPHETIC WORD FROM THE LORD
Come close and allow Me to comfort you. You have been barraged again and again. At times, you feel like you have lost the battle forever.
Despair is seeking to become a bed-fellow with you. Here is both a warning and a solution for you. Your hope is under attack but you must make no room for despair. And yet I say unto you, do not lose hope. Hold fast your hope like the treasures you place in a bank vault.
Never let expectations of fulfillment of My promises and vision fade away. Yes, I say place your trust in Me.
Faith, hope and love are three things commissioned by Me to take you across the finish line. You will win this race! Never let your faith waver. Come close and allow Me to comfort you.
Psalm 42:5 "Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why have you become disturbed within me? Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him for the help of His presence."
remember Psalms 10~ read Psalms 9
PRAISE GOD...I BIND THE DEVIL AND HIS EFFECTS TO THORT GODS PLAN FOR A GODLY LIFE, TRUELY GOD KNOWS, AND HAS ALL THE ANSWERS... "HAVE YOUR WAY OH LORD!" FAITH COMES FROM YOU. ~INCREASE IN MERCY DECREASE IN TRIALS~ I ASK FOR YOUR WISDOM... SHOW YOURSELF POWERFUL." AMEN....
Purpose....Oracle of God.....Ephesians 4: 11-12 "And he gave some, Apostles; and some, Prophets; and some, Evangelists; and some, Pastors and Teachers; For the perfecting of the Saints, for the work of the Ministry, for the edifying of the Body of Christ"
THE CURE FOR UNBELIEF John3:18-22 "For God sent not his Son to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be Saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but, he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world,and men loved darkness rather then light, because their deeds were evil. Foe everyone that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that does truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God."
John 8:7 "He who is without sin let him cast the first stone" John8:28-37 "When ye have lifted up the Son of Man then shall ye know that I Am He. As my Father has taught me, I speak these things, And he that sent Me is With Me; The Father has not left me alone" We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man, Son of Man said, Verily i say unto you, "Whosoever committeth sin is a servant to sin, and a servant abideth not in a house forever but: the Son of man abideth forever." 38-46"Yesh'a said, which of you convince me of sin And I say the truth, why do you not believe me?"
John11:22-27 But, I know now whatsoever you will ask of God, God will give it thee. I Am the resurection and the Life: He that believeth in me, thought he were dead, yet shall he live: whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die." Lord...I believe that thou art the Christ; The Son Of God. Which cometh into the World."
Romans5:8-9 But God commendth His Love toward us in that, while we weree yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by His Blood, we shall be saved by wrath through Him." 5:10-15For if we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more reconciled we shall be saved by his life. And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. Wherefore by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin and death passed upon all men, for that all haved sinned: For until then the law of sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is not law. read on. That whish is born of Flesh is Flesh, that which is Born of the Spirit is Spirit" Romans7:18 For I know that in me (in the flesh) dwellth no good thing: 22 for I delight in the Law of God after the inward man."(the spirit) Blessings to you... Love and peace.

Waiting For Him...
In Love and Peace, The Blessed Hope Of Glory.
Keep A Watchman on the Wall.
Remember the New Testament story in which Jesus sent His disciples across the Sea of Galilee?
Well, in November 2000...I was there in a boat...crossing the Sea of Galilee...It was overcast, windy and cold. I recalled the story... The Bible says that Jesus / Yeshua waited on the shore and was up on a mountain praying. As the disciples were making their way across, a great storm began to rage, and they thought they were going to die. They rowed hard to try to get back to land, but without success. Then we read that at the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came to them, walking on the water. The fourth watch would be the time just before the dawn. This means that Jesus came to them after they had been at sea for nine hours. Then He came and rescued them.
Some of us may feel like the disciples did. We might be saying, “Lord, we have been battling away in this world. When are you going to come again? Are you paying attention to what is going on?” Of course He is. God is aware of everything that is happening. And know this: God is not late; He is always on time. The Bible says, “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9 NKJV). The only reason the Lord has not already come is because He wants more people to come into His kingdom.
We have never been closer to the return of Jesus Christ than we are now. Even if He comes in the “fourth watch,” we are to be ready. We don’t want to be like the foolish servant in another New Testament story who thought, “ ‘My master is delaying his coming’ ” (Luke 12:45). With this in mind, we need to be about our Master’s business. So what are we to do specifically?
First, we should be watching for Him. We should be paying attention and taking note of what is going on in the world right now. In the Book of Daniel, foolish King Belshazzar faced judgment because he did not respond to the writing on the wall (see Daniel 5). All around us are signs of the times, reminders that Jesus is coming back. Watch for Him.
Second, we should be ready to go. When I am going to travel somewhere by plane, I pack my bags the night before. Most of the time I pick a flights that is early in the morning...With all of the increased security now, I need to get to the airport well in advance. I get ready ahead of time ~so I am prepared to go on the trip. In the same way...we need to be ready and prepared to meet the Lord when He returns. It is wise thing to periodically ask yourself, “Am I living in such a way that I would be doing something I would be ashamed of if the Lord were to come back?” Living in the reality of Christ’s return should make a difference in our behavior. Not to say that we dont make mistakes, but, we learn to repent and get right with God...God will make things right...God forgives and He forgets. His thoughts toward us are holy...impowering us to succeed.
Third, we should be anxiously awaiting His return. Our dog sleeps outside of my daughter room at night. Sometimes he leans against the door to be as close to it as possible. When morning comes and she open the door, he is so excited that he runs around in circles. Then he picks up his ball, brings it to her, and waits until she takes it. He anxiously waits for that. That is how we should be. We should be anxiously awaiting the Lord’s return.
Fourth, we should be working. Luke 12:43 says, “Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes." If watching is the evidence of faith, then working is the evidence of faith in action. Watching for the Lord’s return will help us prepare our own lives. Working will ensure that we bring others with us. That is the plan.
Jesus said, “ ‘Surely I am coming quickly.” The answer of the true Christian will always be, along with the Apostle John, “Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” (Revelation 22:20).
Anything that would prevent us from that answer or make it difficult to say reveals something that is out of place in our lives. Therefore, we must periodically examine all of our ambitions, pursuits, hopes, dreams, and plans by this truth of the Lord’s imminent return....Even So, Lord Jesus Come.

2 Corinthians * 5:1
"For we know that if our earthly house of the tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made by hands, Eternal in Heaven."
PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN ONE IS TRUELY WALKING IN THE SPIRIT, ONE IS ALSO FULFILLING THE LAW."
Romans 2:12-29: For as many have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: which show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God, and knowest His will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law; and art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness, an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law. Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? Thou that teachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? Thou that abhorest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege? Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonorest thou God? For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written. For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision. Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision? And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfill the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law? For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: but he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
Psalm 119:33-40
Teach me, OLord, the way of Your statutes, And I shall observe it to the end.
Give me understanding that I may observe Your law and keep it with all my heart. Make me walk in the path of Your commandment
Behold, I long for Your precepts; Revive me through Your righteousness For your name sake
