"RECOGNIZE WHAT IS M.A.D. IN YOUR LIFE TO BE M.A.D."
!! written by Kathy Todd
!!Recognize: to accept or be aware of; to make formal acknowledgement of; to percieve as existing or true
!!Mad: angry; greatly provoked or irritated
or
wildly enthusiastic about or fond of
=============================================
!! Here in this writing I am writing from a recent personal experience that God has prompted me to share. I'm talking about distractions and discouragements in our lives. Notice in the title I used the word MAD twice. First we must recognize in our lives what is making us M.A.D. -- which stands for MOST ANNOYING DISTRACTIONS and MOST ANNOYING DISCOURAGEMENTS. We must recognize these things in our lives. Sometimes our discouragements and distractions can take such a toll on our spirit and mind that we want to just give up or quit. We may ask ourselves Is it even worth the effort? -- The answer to that question is YES! One thing that is biblically true is the more you pursue and seek God, the harder Satan will fight back. Satan wants us to woller around in our discouragements and will also use things or people in our own lives to send distractions! By recent personal experience, when I am home alone, I find it much easier to get into the Bible, pray and praise and worship without the distractions of the TV, radios, toys banging etc.... you get the picture ... NOISE! Don't get me wrong, I love when my family is home with me :o) I miss them when they are not home. The point I am trying to get across is when the times come when I am not alone, I get distracted from my regular, daily routine of spending time with God. We have to RECOGNIZE what is distracting us and make every effort to remedy the situation where we can still find our time with God. I think personally, I have to find a place in my home to be alone even when everyone is with me. This is true with everyone!! We must recognize what is distracting us from spending time with God and doing what God has called us to do. The second concept that we must recognize is what is in our lives that is sending discouragement into our life! Discouragement is such a strong power that Satan uses in our lives to distract us from spending time with God. My recent personal experience with discouragement is the pain and tiredness that I get when fibro-flares come into my body. (Fibromyalgia -- my personal testimony http://lighthouse-in-a-dark-world.blogspot.com/2011/09/why-wont-you-get-this-off-me-living.html ) For about 2 months now, I haven't had a fibro-flare that was too bad until Friday, 11/18 and when this one hit me it discouraged me. It has intensified since then and I get to the point some days that I just really don't want to do anything. Satan, I know, loves seeing this! But you know what? I have become M.A.D. enough to fight back. Even though the pain is there, I'm going to keep moving and coming to the place and time when I will have that divine encounter with the Holy Spirit when this will be off of me! When I will be healed! Once I start to woller around in the pain, then Satan moves in for the kill. Please don't let this happen to you! Whatever your discouragement or distraction is, get M.A.D. enough and fight back. Don't let Satan push you around or push you down no longer. Many of us have been called by God to work in his kingdom and our own local churches. Get M.A.D. .... get angry at Satan and command him to get off you and leave you alone in Jesus Name!! And then keep moving and keep coming to the place where you will have your divine encounter with the Holy Spirit!! But know this, the harder you fight Satan, that harder he will fight back. Especially if you know for sure in your heart that he has to fear your high calling from God!!
!! The second M.A.D. in the title stands for MOST ANNOINTED DISCIPLE! Once we become M.A.D. enough at all the distractions and discouragements that we create on our own and the ones that come from Satan, we need to become M.A.D. again!! But this concept is way different. This is one of that comes with enthusiasm and excitement that only comes from spending time with God on a daily basis and doing what God has called us to do in his kingdom and in our local churches. We can't be a M.A.D -- a Most Annointed Disciple if we are wollering around in our distractions and discouragements. If you know where these things are coming from, fix it! And if you know without a shadow of a doubt that Satan has his deceitful eyes and slimy grip on you, then rebuke him off of you in Jesus Name!! And keep moving and coming to the place of divine encounter and divine revelation!! We owe this to our world we live in. If no MOST ANNOINTED DISCIPLE tells the lost how to be found, saved and live for Jesus, how will they ever know? How will they ever be saved? How will they know how to live a true, converted life for Jesus Christ? It is time to RECOGNIZE WHAT IS M.A.D. IN YOUR LIFE TO BE M.A.D. and to keep moving and keep coming to your place of divine encounter with the Holy Spirit!! There you will receive the power needed to be M.A.D. -- A MOST ANNOINTED DISCIPLE for Jesus Christ!!

"THE MAJESTY OF GOD"
++ The Lord reigneth, he is clothed (covered) with majesty; the Lord is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved (shaken).
Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting.
The floods have lifted up (raised up), O Lord, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves.
The Lord on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.
Thy testimonies are very sure (certain): holiness becometh (will appear in) thine house, O Lord, for ever.

"WORSHIP HEIGHTENS YEARNING --- W.H.Y.?"
"Worship Heightens Yearning -- W.H.Y.?"
!! written by Kathy Todd (except for ++scriptures and ** songs)
!! Worship: to show profound devotion, respect, reverence, adoration, admiring love, honor to God; TO GLORIFY GOD WITH YOUR WHOLE HEART
!! Heightens: to increase the height of; to make higher; to increase the degree of; to strengthen, deepen or intensify; to brighten or become intense
!! Yearning: deep longing; to have an earnest or strong desire; an intense or overpowering longing, desire or need; craving
================================================
!! The Holy Spirit empowers us to do the work of God's Kingdom and our church. We have the power to seek out the lost and tell them of their sins and how to come to Jesus !!
++ But truly I am full of power by the Spirit of the Lord, and of judgement, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.
Micah 3:8
================================================
!! The Holy Spirit sends us out into the mission field, the earth. To us it is our local community and all other surrounding areas that our church sits in the center of with the work being done by our congregation together in unity. !!
++ As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.
And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them off.
So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Se-leu`-ci-a; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
And when they were at Sal`-a-mis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister (as their assistant).
Acts 13:2-5
===============================================
!! The Holy Spirit comforts the church. We should know that if we do this, God will send his comfort to us as well by letting us know that growth is on the way!!
++ Then had the churches rest throughout all Ju-dae`-a and Galilee and Sa-ma`-ri-a, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.
Acts 9:31
===============================================
!! The Holy Spirit will sanctify the saints of the church as we endeavour to maintain this knowledge in our hearts and minds from God and willfully by obedience put forth the effort !!
++ And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.
Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God,
That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.
I have therefore whereof I may glory (rejoice) through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God.
For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,
Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Il-lyr`-i-cum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation:
But as it is written, TO WHOM HE WAS NOT SPOKEN OF, THEY SHALL SEE: AND THEY THAT HAVE NOT HEARD SHALL UNDERSTAND.
Romans 15:14-21
=============================================
!! When we open our hearts to God through worhip and praise.
!! It heightens our yearing to worship and praise all of our days.
!! Only true worship and praise will give us that desire.
!! To seek God's heart with a yearning the Holy Spirit will take us higher.
!! We will become empowered with this strong desire and intense crave.
!! To share this amazing feeling with the lost before they go to their grave.
!! The heightened yearning for the Holy Spirit will open our hearts to the lost.
!! To seek them out while working in the vineyard no matter the cost.
!! Our vineyard is the mission field, our communities where we plant seed.
!! A heightened yearning we receive through worship and praise is so much in need.
!! So the Holy Spirit will intensify our desire to go cultivate the mission field.
!! To bring growth to God's Kingdom, the very thing from the start he had willed.
!! Please hear the importance! Worship and praise heightens our yearning.
!! To open our hearts to God and obey the Holy Spirit to keep the fire burning!!

"QUOTE FOR TODAY"
"Love can melt the hardest heart, heal the wounds of the broken heart and quiet the fears of the anxious heart." -- Joyce Meyer
"W.H.Y.? -- WORRY HINDERS YIELDING"
"W.H.Y.? -- WORRY HINDERS YIELDING"
!! written by Kathy Todd (except for ++ scriptures and ** songs)
!! why: for what cause or reason
!! worry: to be or cause to be anxious or uneasy; a cause of uneasiness or anxiety
!! hinders: to cause delay, interruption, or difficulty in; to prevent from doing, acting, or happening
!! yielding: inclined to give in, submissive, compliant; to surrender or submit, as to a superior power (Holy Spirit)
===============================================
!! Just a couple of days ago, I was doing this to myself. I was worrying about my family's problems and not yielding myself, my mind, my spirit, my feelings and emotions to the Holy Spirit as I should have been. My mind was so preoccupied with worry that it made me become anxious and uneasy.
!! Worry hinders yielding to the Holy Spirit and in turn hinders the work God is trying to do in our lives. Worry is also known as a wavering faith and makes us enter into what I am calling in this writing the W.H.Y.? effect! -- Why am I in this situation? -- Why God are you allowing this to happen to me? --- Why God are you allowing so much pain? -- The W.H.Y.? questions are endless when your mind is entangled in worry. God does not want us to worry. As a matter of fact and truth, the Bible tells us NOT to worry. We are to put our full faith in God and allow him to work in our lives. If we allow worry to subdue our minds and emotions, it will eventually literally make us physically sick and full of anxiety.
!! With my own personal situation in the past couple of days, I can truthfully and honestly tell you that once I gave the situation to God by laying it down at the cross and asking for prayer and yielding to the Holy Spirit, God came through right on time by providing my family's needs!
!! Sometimes it seems as though God moves in a stressful situation immediately. On the other hand, God will sometimes allow us to wait to see if we will remain faithful to him and to his work in his Kingdom by continuing in obedience to his Holy Word.
!! I just felt led to share this because with the way todays society and economic status is, there is surely someone out there in this wide world full of worry as they are reading this that may need to hear this testimony. I pray this will help all who read this!
!! Don't fill your mind and spirit and emotions with worry! Give your situation to God with complete confidence and faith that he will come through. Ask for prayer for your situation! This is biblical to ask for prayer to make your needs known! Remain obedient to God's Holy Word and continue to serve God while you wait! No situation is too bad or embarrassing for God! Lift your head high and be encouraged and blessed!! Love to you all! :o)
====================================================
++ Jesus Said: "Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment (clothing)?
Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
Which of you by taking thought (being anxious) can add one cubit unto his stature?
And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lillies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed (not dressed) like one of these.
Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
Therefore take no thought (don't worry), saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Take therefore no thought (do not worry about) for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."

"RAISED FROM SATAN'S PIT"
"RAISED FROM SATAN'S P.I.T."
!! written by Kathy Todd (except for ++scriptures and ** songs)
!!Yesterday I heard a story about how a caterpillar goes through metamorphosis to transform into a beautiful butterfly. The caterpillar wraps up in a blanket called a cacoon and starts to change. However there is a struggle once transformed to get out of the blanket or cacoon. Once, the newly transformed butterfly sheds the blanket, we can see the wonderous beauty as it takes flight.
!!Satan does this to God's saints! He wraps them up in his blanket and reminds them of their past. He wants to keep the saints of God bound in his pit and he works hard at it because he knows that once God's saints are raised up out of his pit and sheds this blanket from them.... he can't stop them!! He will keep trying hard to bind them in his pit again and again and so on...the only way Satan can succeed at this is if we allow him!! Resist Satan and come out of his pit!!
!! God wants to raise his saints from Satan's P.I.T. --- we just have to Pray It Through and let him!!
=====================================================
!!Satan wants God's saints to remain in his P.I.T.
!!The P.I.T. of worry, despair, guilt, confusion and there he'll sit.

++ I will praise thee, O Lord; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
O Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
O Lord, though hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
Lord, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.
I cried to thee, O Lord; and unto the Lord I made supplication.
What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?
Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me: Lord, be thou my helper.
Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

!!Yesterday I heard a story about how a caterpillar goes through metamorphosis to transform into a beautiful butterfly. The caterpillar wraps up in a blanket called a cacoon and starts to change. However there is a struggle once transformed to get out of the blanket or cacoon. Once, the newly transformed butterfly sheds the blanket, we can see the wonderous beauty as it takes flight.
!!Satan does this to God's saints! He wraps them up in his blanket and reminds them of their past. He wants to keep the saints of God bound in his pit and he works hard at it because he knows that once God's saints are raised up out of his pit and sheds this blanket from them.... he can't stop them!! He will keep trying hard to bind them in his pit again and again and so on...the only way Satan can succeed at this is if we allow him!! Resist Satan and come out of his pit!!
!! God wants to raise his saints from Satan's P.I.T. --- we just have to Pray It Through and let him!!

"AN ATTITUDE WITH GRATITUDE"
"AN ATTITUDE WITH GRATITUDE"
written by Kathy Todd
An attitude with gratitude results in a thankful heart.
Regardless of the circumstances that have to take part.
Whether in the deepest valley or on the highest mountain top.
An open and thankful heart to God at no time should stop.
No matter the state, whether it be in sickness or good health.
Or even if there are only two pennies to rub or in millionaire wealth.
If the church is full or if there are only a few.
Got to have faith that God will fill up every pew.
Everything comes together at some point but only in God's time.
But only through a thankful heart as shown through out this ryhme.
So if your feeling down and questioning Why?, let a thankful heart intrude.
The doors of heaven open for blessings to fall on those with an attitude of gratitude.

"PEACE WITH THE LORD"
Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.
Let your moderation (self-control) be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
Be careful (worried) for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

"FAITH REMOVES OBSTACLES"
!! written by Kathy Todd (except for ++scriptures or **songs)
!!When we look at the obstacles set before us, doubt so easily enters our mind. Doubt tells us those obstacles are there and will remain there. Faith gives us the strength and power to conquer those obstacles and then not allow them to rebuild! Just like a group of people physically running a race on an obstacle course...they find ways to either go around the obstacle, go over it, go under it or go through it. And when they reach the finish line, they win the approval of the crowd cheering them on. This same thing happens with faith!! We see the obstacles however know and have faith that God has already gone before us to take down those obstacles. It is our responsiblity to keep running and moving forward to the finish line. As we move forward applying our faith, we obtain (win) God's aprroval and will receive his favor whether it be in our own individual walk or as a community of FAITH .. congregation ... body of Christ ... the church etc....!!! Though we see the obstacles in the natural, we have to believe and have full faith that God has already destroyed and demolished that obstacle spiritually!! We have to keep moving (running) forward knowing that no matter what obstacles are put in front of us, we can and will conquer them. Never looking back or allowing anything or anyone to hold us back from the finish line we are trying and working hard to reach. Keep the Faith and obtain (win) God's approval!! Have Faith that our victories are waiting for us on the other side of the obstacles. God has already done his part ... we must do ours!! :o)
======================================================
++Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
For by faith the elders obtained (won) a good report (God's approval).
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Hebrews 11:1-3
========================================================
++ Thus saith the Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;
I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:
And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the Lord, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.
Isaiah 45:1-3
=========================================================
!!Praise the Lord God Almighty for going before us to take down the obstacles we face....we just got to have Faith!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
!! Dear Heavenly Father, I come to you now in the name of your son Jesus Christ!! Lord I praise you and glorify your Holy name. You are my savior, my healer, my deliverer, my strength, my everything!! I thank you Lord Jesus. Lord, I humble myself before you today thanking you for your promises in your Holy word. Lord, I thank you for going before us and taking down any obstacles that build up against us as individuals and as your church. Lord, I thank you for doing your part and I pray for your strength,power and anointing to do our part. I love you Lord Jesus and give you all of my glory, honor and praise. In Jesus name I pray, Amen!!

"GOD PROVIDES WHEN WE OBEY HIM"
And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
(As it is written, HE HATH DISPERSED ABROAD; HE HATH GIVEN TO THE POOR: HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS REMAINETH FOR EVER.
Now he that ministereth (gives) seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)
Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness (plentifulness), which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.
For the administration (rendering) of this service not only supplieth the want (need) of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;
Whiles by the experiment (experience) of this ministration (service) they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men;
Any by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you.
Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable (priceless) gift.

"EXCEED YOUR CHALLENGES"
=======================================================
Dear Heavenly Father,
I come to you now in the name of your son Jesus Christ. Lord, I praise you and glorify your Holy Name!! You are my saviour, my deliverer, my healer, my strength, my everything. I thank you Lord Jesus!! Lord please open our hearts, minds and spirits. Not only my own but all who desire more of you and desire to see and feel advancement in your kingdom. Lord, not only in my own church but in all Christian ministries all over the world who serves you in spirit and in truth. Lord, please give us your strength and power and boldness to face and conquer what may be challenging us or holding us back or struggling with. Lord, there are all kinds of challenges, barriers, and struggles that we deal with in life. Lord, I pray for any challenges, barriers or struggles in my life and in the life of those reading this prayer to be broken in the name of Jesus. I pray for breakthrough in their life and in their situations in Jesus Name. I thank you and love you Lord Jesus!! And I give you all of my glory, honor and praise!! In Jesus name I pray... Amen!!
=====================================================
Grace and peace be multiplied unto you througth the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
And beside this, giving all diligence , add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
And to knowledge temperance (self-control); and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity (love).
For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be idle nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election (relationship with God) sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall (stumble):
For so an entrance shall be ministered unto (given to) you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.

"GOD WILL FINISH THE WORKS HE STARTED"
"GOD WILL FINISH THE WORKS HE STARTED"
!!written by Kathy Todd (++except for scriptures and **songs)
!! I am so thankful for the words from the Holy Spirit Sunday night. Words spoken as a thanksgiving testimony! Words thanking God for what he has done, for what he is doing and for what his is going to do!! Thankfulness opens the gates of heaven and allows the Holy Spirit to do his work in which empowers us to do the works he started in us with anointing, fire and power.
!! Has God started a work in you that has not been completed? I believe and trust God to send his Holy Spirit to bring these works to completion. Not only in each individual, but also as a united body of believers within our local church, The Harvest Center.
!! God stands true to his promises in his Holy Word. Ask God and seek him to complete the works he started in you. Go to the doors of heaven through prayer to knock. There the Holy Spirit will be ready to pour out God's promises!
!! Embrace it .... Believe it......Live it!! He will lift you up out of your weaknesses and turn them into his strengths. It's his WORD!!
==============================================================================================================
++ Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.
For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many contribute to the glory of God.
For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
2 Corinthians 4
============================================================================================================
++ Praise ye the Lord, I will praise the Lord with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.
The works of the Lord are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.
His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the Lord is gracious and full of compassion.
He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.
He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.
The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.
They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.
He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
