“A LIFE, WHERE YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH THE LORD. AND HAVE A LIFE ALSO!” John 21:15; So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. Jesus asked Peter this because he knew that he hadn’t humble himself as he should. 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. Peter had nothing complete in the Lord. He had a life on his own. James 4:14; Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. “A LIFE, WHERE YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH THE LORD. AND HAVE A LIFE ALSO!” John 21:18; Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not. v19; This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me. Following his lead, leads too: A life where you can accomplish the Lord. Proverbs 3:6; In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. And have a life also. Acts 17:28; For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. “A LIFE, WHERE YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH THE LORD. AND HAVE A LIFE ALSO!” 2 Kings 20:1; In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live. Because of sickness, Hezekiah had lost the order in which he live. 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. 2 Kings 20:2; Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the Lord saying, v3; I beseech thee, O Lord, remember now how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore. By turning from his self. He was able to remind himself how to accomplish a life in the Lord. And have a life also. 2 Corinthians 7:9-11; v11; For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter. A LIFE, WHERE YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH THE LORD. AND HAVE A LIFE ALSO!” 2 Kings 20:4; And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the word of the Lord came to him, saying, v5; Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the Lord, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the Lord. v6; And I will add unto thy days fifteen years. A life, where you can accomplish the Lord. And have a life also. Matthew 6:33; But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. “A LIFE, WHERE YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH THE LORD. AND HAVE A LIFE ALSO! Teaching!

“You Don’t Know Much? No, But I’m Not Lost!” Having narrow interests. Philippians 3:15; 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. You Don’t Know Much? Matthew 14:28; And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. No, But I’m Not Lost. Jeremiah 33:3; Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. Matthew 14:29; And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. You Don’t Know Much? Matthew 14:30; But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. Ephesians 4:14; That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive. Matthew 14:31; And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? Romans 10:13; For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. “You Don’t Know Much? No, But I’m Not Lost! John 9:25; He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.

No, But I’m Not Lost!” John 11:32; Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. 1 Peter 5:6; Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: v7; Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. “You Don’t Know Much? No, But I’m Not Lost!” Acts 10:19; While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee. 1 Kings 18:21; And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions?

“KNOW IT!” Head knowledge is great, but it won’t get you into the kingdom of God. Acts 18:24; And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus. v25; This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John. 2 Corinthians 5:7; (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) 1 Timothy 4:8; For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. 1 Corinthians 15:32; If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die. Acts 18:26; And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly. You can have the head knowledge, but, you have to take on the life. Acts 4:13; Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus. Philippians 3:3; For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. Flesh will fool you, and have you thinking you’re alright with head knowledge only. 1 Corinthians 15:36; Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die. “KNOW IT!” Head knowledge is great, but it won’t get you into the kingdom of God. Acts 18:27; And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace. You can have head knowledge, but to get the life with it, you have to be willingly humble. Philippians 3:9; And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: v10; That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; v11; If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. Acts 18:28; For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publicly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ. Head knowledge plus the life. Galatians 6:15; For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. “KNOW IT!” Head knowledge is great, but it won’t get you into the kingdom of God!

“WHEN YOU ARE CLEAN, YOU CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN!” A cleanliness that it speaks for itself, happening. John 15:3; Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. v4; Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. v7; If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Clean reveals unclean. Here is a perfect example of the above. Matthew 8:8; The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. “WHEN YOU ARE CLEAN, YOU CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN!” 1 Samuel 17:26; And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God? Clean that speaks has to start in the heart. It speaks what’s been cut off. This captures the above. 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: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. Job 27:6; My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live. WHEN YOU ARE CLEAN, YOU CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN!” 1 Samuel 17:28-29; v29; And David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause? Clean, the above described. Men speaking to Rahab; Joshua 2:14; And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our business. And it shall be, when the Lord hath given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee. 2 Corinthians 5:6-8; v8; We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. “WHEN YOU ARE CLEAN, YOU CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN!” 1 Samuel 17:39; And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him. Clean make it happen, speaks. Genesis 39:8-9; v9; There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God? What happen, is done out in the open. 2 Corinthians 5:7; (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) Philippians 4:5; Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. “WHEN YOU ARE CLEAN, YOU CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN!” Cleanliness indeed next to godliness. Mark 10:27; And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible. “WHEN YOU ARE CLEAN, YOU CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN!” Teaching!

“YOUR CAME, HAS TO BE A RUSH!” Romans 12:11; Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord.

Judges 18:3; When they were by the house of Micah, they knew the voice of the young man the Levite: and they turned in thither, and said unto him, Who brought thee hither? and what makest thou in this place? and what hast thou here? v4; And he said unto them, Thus and thus dealeth Micah with me, and hath hired me, and I am his priest. v5; And they said unto him, Ask counsel, we pray thee, of God, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous. Amos 3:3; Can two walk together, except they be agreed? Judges 18:6; And the priest said unto them, Go in peace: before the Lord is your way wherein ye go. “YOUR CAME, HAS TO BE A RUSH!” Hebrews 13:17; Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you. Judges 18:8; And they came unto their brethren to Zorah and Eshtaol: and their brethren said unto them, What say ye? v9; And they said, Arise, that we may go up against them: for we have seen the land, and, behold, it is very good: and are ye still? be not slothful to go, and to enter to possess the land. “YOUR CAME, HAS TO BE A RUSH!” 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. John 14:3; And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. Acts 2:1; And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 Peter 3:9; The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Acts 2:2; And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. You can’t take your own time in the Lord. “YOUR CAME, HAS TO BE A RUSH!” Ecclesiastes 9:11; But time and chance happeneth to them all.

“Are You Getting To Be All RIGHT?” 1 Kings 19:20; And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee? 1 Peter 2:9; But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: v11; Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; v12; Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. 1 Kings 19:21; And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him. You cannot exercise righteousness without a cut off. Proverbs 13:20; He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. “Are You Getting To Be All RIGHT?” 2 Kings 2:1; And it came to pass, when the Lord would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal. Righteousness calls for consistency, something you have to follow through with. Hebrews 12:14; Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord. “Are You Getting To Be All RIGHT?” 2 Kings 2:2; And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for the Lord hath sent me to Beth-el. And Elisha said unto him, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Beth-el. v3; And the sons of the prophets that were at Beth-el came forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Lord will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he said, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace. Righteousness calls for commitment to a place of holiness. Romans 6:18; Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. “Are You Getting To Be All RIGHT?” 2 Kings 2:4; And Elijah said unto him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee; for the Lord hath sent me to Jericho. And he said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho. Righteousness challenges temptation, and conquers it. 2 Corinthians 10:5; Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. 2 Kings 2:6; And Elijah said unto him, Tarry, I pray thee, here; for the Lord hath sent me to Jordan. And he said, As the Lord liveth, as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And they two went on. Righteousness cause you to flow downward. John 3:30; He must increase, but I must decrease. 1 Peter 5:6; Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time. “Are You Getting To Be All RIGHT?” 2 Kings 2: 12; And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces. Righteousness will bring you into a state of holiness. 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. 2 Kings 2:14; And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the Lord God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over. Righteousness will cause you to eventually cross over. That is if you believe like you say you do.

Feet; our particular actions. 2 Kings 2:2; And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for the Lord hath sent me to Beth-el. And Elisha said unto him, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Beth-el. v3; And the sons of the prophets that were at Beth-el came forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Lord will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he said, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace. Hebrews 3:14; For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end. Path; our choice and course of life. 2 Kings 2:12; And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces. v13; He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan; Colossians 3:2; Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 2 Kings 2:14; And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the Lord God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over. Acts 2:21; And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. “Are You Friends With Light Yet?” John 1:5; And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. Light shineth in darkness; the life. 1 Samuel 30:6; And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God. Psalm 73:2; But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped. 1 Samuel 30:7; And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech’s son, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David. Matthew 5:16; Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. 1 Samuel 30:8; And David enquired at the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all. “Are You Friends With Light Yet?” John 3:19; And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. v20; For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. Friends With Light Yet? John 5:44; How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only? John 12:43; For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. “Are You Friends With Light Yet?” John 3:21; But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. Revelation 3:1; And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. v2; Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. “Are You Friends With Light Yet?” Teaching!

Judges 14:3; Then his father and his mother said unto him, Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well. 2 Corinthians 11:2; For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. “What Love Has To Do With It?

“PRAYER, WHEN IT BENEFITS HIM MORE THAN YOU!” 1 Samuel 1:5; But unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah: but the Lord had shut up her womb. v9; So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a post of the temple of the Lord. Even going to the temple, the showing of how Eli sat upon a seat.
