"If You Can Give It Up, You Can Have It All!" John 21:3; Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing. Galatians 6:3; For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. "If You Can Give It Up, You Can Have It All!" John 21:4; But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. v6; And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. Matthew 6:33; But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. "If You Can Give It Up, You Can Have It All!" Psalm 1:1; Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. v3; And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. "If You Can Give It Up, You Can Have It All!" Overseer/Apostle

YOU CAN'T HAVE TRUTH IN A HALF! Galatians 4:8; Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods. v9; But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? 1 John 2:19; They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. YOU CAN'T HAVE TRUTH IN A HALF! Romans 9:6; Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: v8; That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed. Romans 10:2; For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. v3; For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. YOU CAN'T HAVE TRUTH IN A HALF! Job 2:9; Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die. v10; But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips. 1 Peter 4:1; Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; v2; That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. YOU CAN'T HAVE TRUTH IN A HALF! Galatians 3:3; Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? YOU CAN'T HAVE TRUTH IN A HALF! Overseer/Apostle

And it shall be, when the Lord hath given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee. Matthew 6:33; But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. LORD I NEED A SAVINGS "ACCOUNT"! Overseer/Apostle

IS IT JUST QUANTITY? 1 Corinthians 6:20; For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. IS IT JUST QUANTITY? Acts 5:1; But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, v2; And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet. v3; But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? v4; Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. Galatians 1:10; For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

"BEING EFFECTIVE"! 2 Corinthians 5:6; Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: v7; (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) v8; We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

And the people answered him not a word.

"ANOTHER DAY THAT THE LORD HAS KEPT ME"! James 4:6; But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. v7; Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. "ANOTHER DAY THAT THE LORD HAS KEPT ME"! Romans 8:1; There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. v3; For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: "ANOTHER DAY THAT THE LORD HAS KEPT ME"! v4; That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Daniel 3:16; Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter. v17; If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.

"FOR THE JOY OF THE LORD IS YOUR STRENGTH"! Nehemiah 8:9; And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, This day is holy unto the Lord your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law. (Church is it so sad, to live a righteous life?) Proverbs 14:34; Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people. Hebrews 11:24; By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; v25; Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season. (Church we're talking about worldly joy, temporary happiness.) 1 John 2:16; For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. v17; And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. "FOR THE JOY OF THE LORD IS YOUR STRENGTH"! Hebrews 11:26; Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. Nehemiah said; Nehemiah 8:10; Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry: for the joy of the Lord is your strength. I'M NOT SORRY! Psalm 34:1; I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. "FOR THE JOY OF THE LORD IS YOUR STRENGTH"! (What a teaching!!) Overseer/Apostle

David had FORM; Acts 13:22; And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will. David had FORMATION; Psalm 18:18; They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the Lord was my stay. You wont STAY, I don't care who you are, supposingly in the Lord. It don't matter how long you've been with the Lord. If you don't have FORM; Romans 12:2; And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Peter hadn't taken on the FORM; Matthew 26:40; And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? v41; Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Galatians 5:16; This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. Peter, FORM THE FORMATION! 1 Peter 4:1; Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin. v4; Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you. FORM THE FORMATION! Galatians 4:19; My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you. FORM THE FORMATION! Overseer/Apostle
