Bless the Lord, O my soul;
and all that is within me,
bless His holy name!
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and forget not all His benefits:
Who forgives all your  iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
Who redeems your life from
destruction, Who crowns you
with loving-kindness and tender
mercies,
Who satisfies your mouth with
good things, so that your youth
is renewed like the eagle’s.
(Psalm 103.1-5).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature:
sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is
idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.
You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. But now
you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice,
slander, and filthy language from your lips. Do not lie to each other,
since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on
the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its
Creator.
(Colossians 3.5-10).
HLLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self
with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being
renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.
(Colossians 3.9 & 10).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
He saved us, not because of any works of righteousness that
we had done, but because of His own pity and mercy by the
cleansing of the new birth and renewing of the Holy Spirit,
Whom He bestowed so richly upon us through Jesus Christ
our Savior.
That we might be justified by His grace, (that we might be
acknowledged as conformed to the divine will in purpose,
thought and action), and that we might become heirs of
eternal life according to our hope.
This message is most trustworthy, and concerning these
things I want you to insist steadfastly, so that those who have
believed in God may be careful to apply themselves to honorable
occupations and to doing good, for such things are not only excellent
and right, but also good and profitable for the people.
But now put away and rid yourselves completely of all these
things: anger,rage,bad feelings toward others, curses and slander.
and foulmouthed abuse and shameful utterances from your lips!
Do not lie to one another, for you have stripped off the old self
with its evil practices,
And have clothed yourselves with the new (spiritual self), which is
ever in the process of being renewed into fuller and more perfect
knowledge, after the image of Him Who created it.
(Colossians 3.8-10).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
So this I say and solemnly testify in the name of the Lord, that you
must no longer live as the heathen do in their perverseness (in the
folly, vanity, and emptiness of their souls and the futility) of their
minds.
Their moral understanding is darkened and their reasoning is clouded.
They are alienated from the life of God because of ignorance that is deep-
seated in them, due to their hardness of heart.
In their spiritual apathy they have become callous and past feeling and
reckless and have abandoned themselves as a prey to unbridled sensuality,
eager and greedy to indulge in every form of impurity that their depraved
desires may suggest and demand.
But you did not so learn Christ!
Assuming that you have really heard Him and been taught by Him, as all
Truth is in Jesus embodied and personified in Him,
Strip yourselves of your former nature which characterized your previous
manner of life and becomes corrupt through lusts and desires that spring
from delusion;
And be constantly renewed in the spirit of your mind,
And put on the new nature created in God’s image, in true righteousness
and holiness.
(Ephesians 4. 17-24).
AMEN!
Bless the Lord, O my soul
and all that is within me,
bless His holy name!
Bless the Lord, O my soul
and forget not
all His benefits.
Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
Who redeems your life from
the pit and corruption,
Who crowns you
with lovingkindness
and tender mercy,
Who satisfies your mouth
with good so that
your youth is renewed
like the eagle’s.
( Ps.103.1-5)
