Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true,
whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is
pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-
if anything is excellent or praiseworthy- think
about such things. Whatever you have learned
or received or heard from me, or seen in me-
put into practice. And the God of peace will be
with you.
((Philippians 4.8 & 9).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who
does what is right has been born of Him.
(I.John 2.29).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who does

He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because
the devil has been sinning from the beginning.
The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy
the devil’s work. No one who is born of God will
continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in him;
he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born
of God. This is how we know who the children of God
are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who
does not do what is right is not a child of God; nor is
anyone who does not love his brother.
This is the message you heard from the beginning:
We should love one another.
((I. John 3.8-11).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray.
He who does what is right is righteous, just as He
is righteous. He who does what is sinful is of the devil,
because the devil has been sinning from the beginning.
The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the
devil’s work.
(I. John 3. 7&8)
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
Whatever former things I had that might have been gains to me,
I have come to consider as one combined loss for Christ’s sake.
Yes, furthermore, I count everything as loss compared to the
possession of the priceless privilege ( the overwhelming preciousness,
the surpassing worth, and supreme advantage) of knowing Christ Jesus
my Lord and progressively becoming more deeply and intimately
acquainted with Him ( of perceiving, recognizing and understanding Him
more fully and clearly). For His sake I have lost everything and consider
it all to be mere rubbish, in order that I may win Christ.
And that I may be found in Him, not having any self-achieved righteousness
that can be called my own, based on my obedience to the Law’s demands of
ritualistic uprightness and supposed right standing with God thus acquired,
but possessing that genuine righteousness which comes through faith in
Christ, the truly right standing with God, which comes from God by faith.
(Philippians 3.7-9).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
Open to me the gates of righteousness.
I will enter through them and I will
praise the Lord.
This is the gate of the Lord. The righteous
shall enter through it.
(Psalm 118.19 & 20).
Now it is evident that no person is declared
righteous through the Law, for the Scripture
says, The righteous shall live by faith and he
who through faith is declared righteous by God
shall live.
(Galatians 3.11).
Look at the proud. His soul is not right in him.
But the righteous shall live by faith.
(Habakkuk 2.4).
HALLEJUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
The burden of the word of the Lord concerning Israel:
Thus says the Lord, Who stretches out the heavens and
lays the foundation of the earth and forms the Spirit of man
within him:
Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of reeling to all the peoples
round about, and in the siege against Jerusalem will there also be
a siege against and upon Judah.
And in that day I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all
peoples; all who burden themselves with it shall be sorely wounded.
And all the nations of the earth shall come and gather together
against it.
In that day, says the Lord, I will smite every horse with terror and
panic and his rider with madness; and I will open My eyes and regard
with favor the house of Judah and I will smite every house of the
opposing nations with blindness.
And the chiefs of Judah shall say in their hearts, The inhabitants of
Jerusalem are our strength in the Lord of hosts, their God.
In that day will I make the chiefs of Judah like big, blazing pot among
sticks of wood and like a flaming torch among sheaves of grain, and they
shall devour all the peoples round about, on the right and on the left;
and they of Jerusalem shall yet again dwell securely in their own place,
in Jerusalem.
And the Lord shall save and give victory to the tents of Judah first, that
the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem
may not be magnified above Judah.
In that day will the Lord guard and defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and
he who is feeble and stumbles among them in that day shall become strong
like David; and the house of David like God, like the angel of the Lord Who is
before them.
And it shall be in that day that I will make it my aim to destroy all the nations
that come against Jerusalem.
And I will pour out upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of
Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication. And they shall look upon
Me Whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for Him as one mourns
for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for Him as one who is in bitterness
for his firstborn.
(Zechariah 12.1-10).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
For he who sows to his own flesh
( lower nature, sensuality) will
from the flesh reap decay and
destruction, but he who sows
to the Spirit will from the Spirit
reap eternal life.
And let us not lose heart and
grow weary in acting nobly,
doing right, for in due time
and the appointed season
we shall reap, if we do not
loosen our resolve.
So then, as occasion and
opportunity open up to us,
let us do good to all people
( not only being useful to them,
but also doing what is for their
spiritual good and advantage).
Be mindful to be a blessing,
especially to those of the household
of faith ( those who belong to God’s
family with you, the believers).
(Galatians 6.8-10).
While we were yet in weakness
(powerless to help ourselves),
at the right time Christ died for
the ungodly.
Now it is an extraordinary thing
for one to give his life even for an
upright man, though perhaps for
a noble, lovable and generous
benefactor someone might even
dare to die.
But God shows and clearly proves
His own love for us by the fact that
while we were still sinners, Christ
(the Messiah, the Anointed One)
died for us.
(Romans 5.6-8).
