"THROUGH FAITH!" Hebrews 11:6; But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Romans 3:30; Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. "THROUGH!" Daniel 1:8; But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank. (Ordinance; A custom or practice established by long usage.) Colossians 2:20; Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, v21; (Touch not; taste not; handle not; v22; Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men? v23; Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh. Daniel 1:15; And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion of the king's meat. Ephesians 2:8; For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. "THROUGH FAITH!" Philippians 3:13; Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, v14; I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

"LIVING WITHOUT DISTRACTIONS!" 1 Corinthians 7:6; But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment. v7; For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that. v8; I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.

(He wanted to cheat.) Peter said to him; v21; Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. (You aren't serious.) "EARNESTLY CONTEND!" 1 Corinthians 9:24; Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. v26; I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air. Joseph; Genesis 39:8; But he refused, v9; how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God? 1 Corinthians 9:27; But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. "EARNESTLY CONTEND!" Philippians 3:13-14; v14; I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. "EARNESTLY CONTEND!" Jude 1:3; Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

"You Can Make It On Broken Pieces!" Paul In A Shipwreck; Acts 27:40; And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.

"LIVING A CLEAN LIFE!" Ephesians 2:10; For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. This not bringing the Lord Jesus Christ into your life. But, bringing your life into the Lord Jesus Christ. Ruth 1:16; And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: v17; Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the Lord do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me. 1 Corinthians 2:2; For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. "LIVING A CLEAN LIFE!" Matthew 5:17; Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. v20; For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

There is a misconception in the church today, that you can have the Lord Jesus Christ, as much as you want; conception, is an idea that you have of it in your mind. Paul spoke of them on this wise. Romans 1:25; Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. Jesus even gave Peter a pop quiz on the subject. John 21:13; Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise. v15; So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? "ALL OR NOTHING!" The problem here is. Matthew 6:24; No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. 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. Peter said; 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. This misconception, cause you to lose more than you gain. v5; And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost. v6; And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him. Paul summed it up this way. Galatians 4:9; 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? "ALL OR NOTHING!" Matthew 19:27; Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore? v29; And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. v30; But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first. Forsaken in this instance; 2 Timothy 2:15; Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. The word will show you how to do it. And at the same time, you can accomplish "ALL OR NOTHING!" Hebrews 12:14; Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: v15; Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God. "ALL OR NOTHING!" Teaching!

"MOMENTUM!" Without it church you'll continue to shipwreck; 1 Timothy 1:19; Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck. Galatians 3:3; Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? "MOMENTUM!" Revelation 2:19; I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first. MOMENTUM!" 1 Timothy 2:7; Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity. 2 Timothy 1:13; Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. "MOMENTUM!" Revelation 13:10; He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. 1 Timothy 6:11; But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. "MOMENTUM!" Without it church; Romans 1:28; And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient. "MOMENTUM!" Philippians 3:14; I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. v15; Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. "MOMENTUM IN LIFE!" John 8:31; If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; v32; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. "MOMENTUM!" Teaching! Overseer/Apostle

"WASH BEFORE YOU WEAR!" Ephesians 5:26; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, v27; That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. "WASH BEFORE YOU WEAR!" John 15:3; Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. "WASH BEFORE YOU WEAR!" Many church folks attempt to wear something in the Lord, without the whole instructions. Luke 17:12; And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: v14; And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. (I wonder what they did after showing themselves to the priests?) v15; And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God. v16; And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. (He knew he needed him to be with him.) v18; There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. v19; And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole. 2 Corinthians 5:7; (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) James 1:25; But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. "WASH BEFORE YOU WEAR!" 1 Peter 5:6; Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time. Centurion, emerged himself. Luke 7:7; Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed. v8; For I also am a man set under authority. John 15:7; If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. "WASH BEFORE YOU WEAR!" 2 Corinthians 7:1; Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. "WASH BEFORE YOU WEAR!" Overseer/Apostle

"GIVE!" This revelation of 'GIVE', is not about money. Luke 6:38; Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. Instead, to bend or alter yourself to fit. "GIVE!" The rich young ruler didn't know how to give under pressure. Luke 18:20; Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother. v22; Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shall have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. v23; And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich. Luke 9:62; And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. "GIVE!" When Nabal Abigail's husband turned down David's request. Abigail knew how to give. 1 Samuel 25:23; And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, v24; And fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me let this iniquity be: and let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine audience, and hear the words of thine handmaid. v25; Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, even Nabal: for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him. She altered herself to fit. "GIVE!" To bend or alter yourself to fit. 2 Thessalonians 3:6; That ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us. "GIVE!" Acts 20:35; And to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. "GIVE!" To bend or alter yourself to fit. Teaching! Overseer/Apostle
