Isaiah 8:11-13 NKJV For the LORD spoke thus to me with a strong Hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying: [12] "Do not say, 'A conspiracy,' Concerning all that this people call a conspiracy, Nor be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled. [13] The LORD of hosts, Him you shall hallow; Let Him be your fear, And let Him be your dread.

Here He is!
2 Peter 1:16-21 NKJV For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His Majesty. [17] For He received from God the Father honour and glory when such a Voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: "This is My beloved Son, in whom I AM well pleased." [18] And we heard this Voice which came from Heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain. [19] And so we have the prophetic word

The Indescribable Gift
2 Corinthians 9:15 NKJV Thanks be to God for His Indescribable Gift! Gifts, gifts and more gifts - that is the topic on people's lips around Christmas time. What shall I give my loved ones? Sometimes we buy presents that are unsuitable and end up stuffed at the back of a cupboard somewhere - unwanted and unused. God's Gift of His Son often ends up like that - unwanted and unused! Somehow we don't realise how totally, vitally and crucially valuable is His Gift - the Gift of Je

Proverbs 30:4 NKJV Who has ascended into Heaven, or descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the Earth?

Mercy James 2:12-13 NLT So whatever you say or whatever you do, remember that you will be judged by the law that sets you free.

The Face of God
Exodus 33:18-23 NLT Moses responded, "Then show me Your Glorious Presence." [19] The LORD replied, "I will make all My Goodness pass before you, and I will call out My Name, Yahweh, before you. For I will show mercy to anyone I choose, and I will show compassion to anyone I choose. [20] But you may not look directly at My Face, for no one may see Me and live." [21] The LORD continued, "Look, stand near Me on this rock. [22] As My Glorious Presence passes by, I will hide you i

One Way
Romans 15:8-12 NKJV Now I say that Jesus Christ has become a servant to the circumcision for the Truth of God, to confirm the Promises made to the fathers, [9] and that the Gentiles might glorify God for His Mercy, as it is written: "For this reason I will confess to You among the Gentiles, And sing to Your name." [10] And again he says: "Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people!" [11] And again: "Praise the LORD, all you Gentiles! Laud Him, all you peoples!" [12] And again, Isai
