DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2015

WHO CAN SEPARATE US?

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
  For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
  Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. ROMANS 8:35-39

THE PROMISED LAND: MOUNT SION

  For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
  And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:
  (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:
  And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)
  But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
  To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
  See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
  Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
  And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
HEBREWS 12:18-27

BEHOLD I MAKE ALL THINGS NEW


And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
  And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. REVELATIONS 21:5-8

THESE STREAMS MAKE GLAD THE CITY OF GOD

  To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, A Song upon Alamoth. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.
There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.
God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.
  The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
  The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth.
He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.
  Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
  The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. PSALMS 46

SARAH
 Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands, so that also those who do not obey the Word, may be won without a word by the conversation of their wives,
  considering your chaste conversation which is in fear.
  Let their adorning not be outward with ostentatious hairdos and wearing of gold nor in composition of apparel,
 but let the interior adorning of the heart be without corruption, and of an agreeable spirit and peaceful, which is precious in the sight of God.
  For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who waited upon God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands,
 as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, of whom ye are made daughters, doing well and not being afraid of any terror. I Peter 3:1-6

YOUR GENTLENESS HAS MADE ME GREAT

 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;
 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.
 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.
 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.

 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him. For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God? 

 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. 

He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places. 

He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms. Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great. PSALM 18:25-35

THE SPIRIT

IN THE BEGINNING THE WORD
DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2015

THE SPIRIT

 If that former ministry faded away despite its glory, how much more does that ministry which remains continue to be glorious?
  Since we have confidence in the new promise, we speak very boldly.
 We are not like Moses. He kept covering his face with a veil. He didn't want the people of Israel to see the glory fading away.
  However, their minds became closed. In fact, to this day the same veil is still there when they read the Old Testament. It isn't removed, because only Christ can remove it.
  Yet, even today, when they read the books of Moses, a veil covers their minds.
  But whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
  This Lord is the Spirit. Wherever the Lord's Spirit is, there is freedom.
 As all of us reflect the Lord's glory with faces that are not covered with veils, we are being changed into his image with ever-increasing glory. This comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. 2 CORINTHIANS 3:11-18

 There are three witnesses:
 the Spirit, the water, and the blood. These three witnesses agree. I JOHN 5:7-8

RID ONESELF OF THE ABSURD

Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer. PROVERBS 25:4

Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:
Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.
Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:
 And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:
 And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.
 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.
 ISAIAH 1: 22-27
