ALL WHO CAN, HEAR MY VOICE

ABOUT OUR SUNDAY MEETINGS

My question to you all is this, concerning your meetings; would you create a new “sect” or denomination, or do you want My Holy Spirit to reign supreme and to have the rule and liberty to do My own work? Ye have a form, so drop the form of religious meetings.

Charles, cease teaching, that all may come, seeking to feel My Presence only, and to operate as My Holy Spirit impresses. Let no one speak of that which is outside of the meeting. But all of you clear your minds, that My new impressions might be given. Seek to silence all thoughts that you may be receptive to My input. Behold, all of you have thoughts of your own to share. This is “dialog”. But in order to find that which I would speak, ye must cease to operate in “human dialog” and be silent within yourselves; so shall MY SPIRIT DIALOG become evident.

If ye will be ruled in your meetings by Me, ye must let Me have the floor; and seek not to say anything to fill the time, except and ONLY except what I give thee; and then, in respect of the others, return again to silence, so that all may have a chance to receive and speak what I give them. Says the Lord.

As My representatives; each of you, in the meeting, has the power to build or to destroy. In other words, it is within the power of each person to respect the movings of My Spirit in themselves and the other members and allow free reign; or to dominate the time selfishly with small talk or their own ideas, wherein My time is lost and ye are not aided. It is the responsibility of each of thee to understand that silence and stillness is more beneficial and to allow all to have opportunity to minister what I would give them.

Meetings gathered in My Name, therefore, are either dedicated to Me, or to whoever dominates them. And if always one is speaking or preaching, the service is not Mine, except I have given the sermon through that one.

But thy meetings are to be a school of learning how to operate in the gifts I am bestowing; therefore many times, especially in the beginning, My Spirit is quenched and vexed by the immaturity. But each of you--specially them who usually dominate the meeting, should be sensitive to the desire to learn by others, and ALLOW ME TO DO MY OWN WORK.

And this is your desire, Little One. Ye seek to get, at the meeting, some things I must needs give you at home. This is one reason for the strong craving desire for Me---not enough time spent with Me. But also, in your meetings, I should have more freedom and leeway to move and minister as I would amongst you all. And I would yet, if I could. And thus should all be diligent to LET MY WORK PROGRESS, and save all the small talk for after the meeting; clearing the mind of all that so that I can do My work. This would be good. But are My people willing for this?

MAN’S HONOR

Men like statistics. They think by these to measure their progress. (how many thru them were saved, etc.) But they cannot judge progress in this way. All glory/credit must be given unto Me, for it is My inner work that is responsible for salvation experiences. But if man thinks it came by one of his sermons, he seeks his own glory; and thus he boasts in HIS statistics and in HIS church. Even though they may put them up for all to see and point them out and say “Let’s give the Lord a hand”, it is not received by Me for I receive not such honors from men.  Indeed the speaker who does such; who initiates such; absorbs all that type honor.

All of you must consider wherein ye receive (and like to receive) honor from men. And consider what it’s effects upon you are. What does it do to you inside?  Does it not bring puffing up rather than meekness? What one of you made yourself the way you are? Yet you take honors for the way you look; the way you dress.  They who spend a lot are preferred over they who cannot. How is this fair to the poor? All such boasting and receiving of adulations is hypocrisy, but it is the mark of “success”, well studied by men and coveted.

All of you CONSIDER MY EXAMPLE UNTO YOU OF MEEKNESS AND SOBRIETY. I was here with you, not as Lord of all, but submitted Myself humbly unto My Father’s will to die for your sins in humble flesh.  I did not put on airs. My birth was not with glory of man attending, nor was trumpeted afar; but in a stable amongst sheep and goats.  Beloveds, BE FOLLOWERS OF MY EXAMPLE, who sought not to clothe Myself in luxury and ease, but sought to receive only the honor My Father gave Me. John 5:44 Thus do I please My Father, for I am not a respecter of a man’s person, or position or wealth. Ye do well to be the same. For all men are equal, despite their holdings or their looks. Did ye not know this? No matter their color or their language, I have made all men of one blood; of one race; the family of man. Who of you, by prejudiced thoughts, can change this? So it makes no sense to exalt one over the other, and to set one below as lesser than yourselves. Behold if all men are given the advantage of higher learning they can all advance equally. But he who thinks prejudiced thoughts is the lesser creature BY HIS PREJUDICE.

O come and know the honor only that My Father has given unto all men; that of simply BEING the creature He made you to be; to honor one another as your fellowman; your FAMILY of man; and that if you hurt your brother man you hurt yourself by it. And consider yourself EQUAL to one another. In My Kingdom the greatest is least and the least is greatest. How think ye? That the greatest is great?  All who humbly seek the lowest seat will be given elevation by Me. He who seeks the highest seat will be given a lesser one. So let every man examine himself/herself in truth and be not deceived. And all of you, care not of your appearance so much, and of the putting on of airs that men may honor you thereby. The honor ye receive is empty and worthless and puffs up your flesh, but edifies not your spirit. In fact, your spirit wars with your flesh over such matters and ye are disquieted by these things. Therefore, ye are brought into bondage to the flesh and it’s ways, customs, designs and habits. O beware of the world and it’s ways! Separation from it makes you no less a person; no less “who you are” except in their eyes who judge everything wrongly. Let My Truth shine upon your darkened judgement and bring all that to a quick crucifixion, for it is based on wrong thinking and I would that ye understood this My way, else you will always be a slave of fashion and a respecter of persons having a type of advantage because of either their holdings or their looks. By these things is no man justified by My Father, but by THEIR ATTITUDE.  So all men be wary of how you treat your brother man and judge your brother man. All such will be judged by God, Himself, and what will ye do in that day when ye stand guilty before Him for this? Ye hurt your brothers and sisters by such thinking, saying ye are not as they because of looks or dress or wealth. Can ye not see that it is the putting on of airs; the puffing up of flesh; and strutting even as doth a peacock, who is sure he is the greatest of all birds because of the tail feathers My Father gave him. Yet he had nothing to do with that.  But ye cannot tell him this as he struts himself, nor to them that look on and admire.

O take heed how ye think and give honor or receive honor, My Children! For all such outward honor stains you. It does not help you rather it HURTS you where I am concerned. Therefore let all such honor be laid in the dust from whence it came, saith thy Lord and Master. Society judges you by looks, weight and clothing, and position, holdings of property and wealth. But I judge not by these things but BY YOUR HEART AND YOUR ATTITUDE TOWARDS YOUR GOD AND YOUR FELLOW MAN. Selah.

So consider yourself carefully in the mirror of My Truth. And let the lightness of it drive away the darkness of your thinking. For in so doing, My Truth shall break the chains that bind you, even those you have no idea of; and set you free. And if the Son shall set you free, ye shall be free indeed. Free from what? The old mindset. The carnal mind and it’s thinking. You will walk in liberty and judge no man. But ye will be set free from all customs and habits that man hath set up. And ye will be My Sons and Daughters and Servants, and no longer slaves to the ways of the world. Look to Me and changes will come. Offer up everything, asking for My help. For indeed, I must help you and intend to do so. For without Me ye are nothing.

Man can only teach what man understands. But he does not understand Spirit. I must teach all of you about this.  Therefore be attentive to Me, all ye who hear My Voice, that ye may write it for the benefit of they who hear not yet. Behold I will open your ears if ye ask Me and show you the way into My Kingdom. According to your diligence, so be it.  1 Timothy 6:3-11, James 2:1-10

HOLY SPIRIT INSTRUCTION

GIVEN IN SUNDAY MEETING 3-10-96

As ye wait in the silence, whatsoever things come to your mind to distract you, gently turn from again unto Me. For the multitude of busy thoughts shall surely plague thee from time to time. But thou has control over thy mind; not thy mind over thee. Hence take control over the wanderings of thy imaginations and thou shalt be victorious in calming the myriad thoughts that come as ye try to focus and center your mind on Me. In this way, ye take charge of the mind that seeks to wander aimlessly and bring it under your command; for such must ye do in order to bring every thought, word and deed into submission to Me. Philippians 2:5

It always seems a hard process at the first, and ye are tempted to quit, the mind being so active and unruly. But thy patience and diligence will pay off if ye shall not cease to try until ye win the victory. Behold, the SELF is in your power to control, but it doesn’t want you to know it. It makes it’s attempt to save itself. You must overrule it’s desires and it’s power over your mind, for this is the way you will gain access to My way of SINGLE-MINDEDNESS. In other words, oneness of mind with Me, saith He, the Christ of God.

Everything must be brought into balance. Even sleep, which many of you simply do not get enough of; you will find a menace to your attempts to wait upon Me. Nevertheless, be not discouraged by this, but attempt to get proper rest and give Me time out of the BEST TIME YE HAVE AVAILABLE, and not just before you go to bed, all worn out from the day. Wash your face with cold water before you pray. Do it again if you find you have been sleeping; but know also that the “SELF” also uses this maneuver to discourage you from waiting upon Me.

I know what needs doing within you. Some of it you will feel, some of it you will see; some you will not know or understand. I will show you things and we will discuss them. In this way we COMMUNE TOGETHER, as I did with Adam.  And our communion will be sweet to you if you will apply yourself to the initial discipline, wherein ye acquire the trouble and the untimely sleep periods. But I SEE THROUGH ALL THAT AND OVER IT TO WHAT YE WILL BE WHEN I AM FINISHED WITH MY WORK; for understand I put great worth upon you, the creature that I have created. And each of you have magnificent potential for creation by My hand into that purpose for which I created you, if ye will submit yourselves long enough, often enough for Me to do My work.  Therefore your diligence is required to put “self” to death by the mortification of it in My cleansing fires of solitude and silence. Saith the Almighty Refiner of Men. Romans 8:13, Malachi 3:1-3

What have ye in all the world as great and powerful as I AM? And to whom can ye go for such learning as this? For ye are all in the same boat, being guided by the same carnal reasoning that brings forth death and “morality laws” in you all. Thus ye can see the absolute IMPERATIVE nature of My teachings and My guidance to bring you, just you, yourself, through each day of situations and circumstances, all having their own lessons to be learned; and see now if you can find a speaker among you who can aptly teach you anything good. For without Me there is no Life, no Spirit and no Truth. And even the Holy Scriptures taught are learned “in the letter” according to carnal reasoning until illumined by My Spirit unto each of you individually. Ye think ye know a lot. I am here to show you, because you have asked Me to and given Me the floor rather than holding to the form, that ye know nothing as ye yet can know...indeed SHALL KNOW, if ye will let Me be your Teacher.

And so I say, as your Teacher: I come, not in the pride of carnal reasoning and wisdom as man does, to teach you a thing or two that you may marvel at his knowledge; but I COME AS ALMIGHTY TRUTH, THE LIGHT OF WHICH WILL PIERCE EVERY HEART AND EXPOSE EVERY DARK THING WITHIN IT.  And shall each of you endure such exposure to My Light of Truth?  Therefore, prepare your hearts, for indeed ye will grow at the rate you can receive it, and ye will indeed know Truth, who I am, and it will set you free. And you will gawk and be amazed at the silliness and the blindness of your world; even the way ye also were before I delivered you. Hence come; be not afraid, but let Me do My work, for this is wisdom and simplicity of faith believing. I will not hurt you. But I will kill flesh that seeks to have it’s own way in the dark. In that which ye understand not but which rules you evermore, and is the root of every evil work in your world.

Ye pray” Thy Kingdom come..” unto Me.  But first My Kingdom must come IN THEE; My will to be done IN THEE, even as it is done in heaven, where they cry out to Me “Ever more grace, O Lord!” My will SHALL BE DONE in thee, not by the will of man, nor by the works of man’s fleshly and carnal beliefs, but BY MY SPIRIT AND THE WILL OF MY FATHER, HENCE DO YE COME UNTO ME, SAITH JESUS.  John 6:44

Ye know not the work that I must do, but I prepare you for it; therefore be diligent to come and submit yourself unto Me; in all things and ways obedient as I show you, that ye may learn and grow, even unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of maturity in Christ, who I AM.  Ephesians 4:13

How shall ye know if these are My words in truth, when written by someone else?  WHO DO THEY GLORIFY? Some person? Or to the edification of every hearer and to the glory of God only? Then shall ye indeed know of the source of authority…either of man or of God.  Matthew 21:23-27

Finally, believing I have heard your many prayer requests, believe Me and receive My instruction and walk in it for this is wisdom.

The anointing which ye seek will flow when ye seek to still yourself in Me. This is MY BUSINESS concerning the need for this anointing and is not your concern; nor can ye do anything to manufacture it or the delivery of it.  Surely ye shall have it when it is necessary for you. MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT, EVEN FOR THEE, My poor ignorant Children. I desire that ye come out of your state of ignorance to that which be spirit and life. Therefore come and know that I am God IN THE STILLNESS.

Christianity cannot abide this. They think to help Me by their activity and their good planning. Behold! BY FLESHLY MEANS AND WAYS SHALL NO FLESH BE JUSTIFIED. Saith thy Lord but JUST BE AS YOU ARE, and in humbleness of heart and contrition of spirit come unto Me, knowing that you don’t even know what to ask Me for; you just know you need My help. And thus do ye pray effectively and I deliver unto you according to My Wisdom and My will.  Saith the Eternal Father. Even so, Amen Romans 8:26

Moment by moment, hour by hour, day by day, walk with Me.  You have nothing to fear by following My Voice. Ye have a lot to fear by following men who congratulate themselves because of their “great stature and wisdom” among men. Behold! When ye come to the place where ye know nothing as ye ought to know, from thence can I work to reveal unto thee HEAVENLY WISDOM THAT DELIVERS ALL.  1 Corinthians 8:2

What kind of gifts can you give to Me, My people? What can please Me that you do? I tell you, NOTHING. Nothing you can do will make you feel accepted by Me. My Grace is upon you, My people. I AM the Grace in every meaning. I AM the Love in every meaning. Immerse in My Love and My Grace. I ask you just to BE for Me. I need you even more than you think. My Grace is upon you, so just rest in My Presence. Be Mine.

Be still and know that I am the Lord. Know the Kingdom of Heaven is within you. This is the way the Quakers started but it was too hard, so they got into fellowship and death. As you go on you will notice the beauty and wonder of it; and you will want to do it at home.

TRUE BEAUTY

Clothes do not make a person.  Faces do not make a person. Consider the BEAUTY OF THE SOUL, which is most precious, or is sadly lacking, says your Lord. Thus and ONLY thus do you see the TRUE PERSON.

And so, you cannot like Me for My face. You cannot like Me for My hair. And you cannot like Me for My clothes. But you must see Me and accept Me as I am.... A SPIRIT BEING. And you must also accept yourself also without these things.

Therein here is the real test...Can you accept yourself as you are, outside of the influence of these things? And now, let us see how the world thinks. How they judge all things by what their eyes see. They do not behold the beauty of the soul. All they can see is their lusts and competition and covetousness.

Say I to you: Now let us see if the world accepts true beauty; yea the beauty of the soul, which cannot be gaudied up by make-up, or covered over with clothing.

I indeed make a man or woman more precious than gold: INSIDE. But the world will not recognize or appreciate this beauty.   Isaiah 13:12

GOD CONSCIOUSNESS

Come into the consciousness that is GOD-CONSCIOUSNESS, and leave the BELOW CONSCIOUSNESS; even that wisdom that is earthy, sensual and devilish, behind.  James 3:14-18, Philippians 2:2-5

I would make you to see all men and women as equal; whether tall and thin, or short and fat; whether black or brown or white; whether ugly in face or beautiful in face. Behold, let it make no difference to thee. For to all peoples I have given a heart; a spirit; a soul. And I would have ye to judge no man or woman after the flesh. Yea, I would have you to know no man or woman after the fleshly appearance.  2 Corinthians 5:16 But by knowing and recognizing the beauty or ugliness of the soul, you shall know the fruit of every tree, by which you shall discern righteously between man and man.

See I come to show you TRUTH. And ye cannot judge a heart by outward appearance nor by outward actions. None of you can discern rightly what be in a man’s heart by outward looks or actions. But by My Spirit only can ye discern, with Spirit gifting, what one is truly like. Notice I did not alienate Judas, though I always knew who he was, and what he was sent to do, and even why. Yet I loved the man in his ignorance. I dealt with Satan speaking through Peter, but I did not thereafter alienate Myself from Peter, nor love him any less.

None of you can judge each other by past mistakes; nor should ye alienate them nor love them less, because of mistakes. For YE ALL ERR in judgement and actions from time to time. I seek to bring all of you to an equal footing by which all of you are accepted by each other. Then and only then shall ye each be acceptable to Me. Therefore clear your hearts of all prejudice against one another, says your Master, Instructor and Guide.

SUNDAY MEETING MESSAGES     3-17-96

The scars of pain are upon you, My people. I would that ye offer these scars unto Me for My healing, first of all. For these scars and woundings are always a problem to thy peace; to thy rest in Me. Therefore in obedience to Me, knowing I understand, in each heart, what this wounding or scarring is from, let each empty that problem unto Me. saith He that dwelleth in Eternity.

I embrace every one of thee, My Children, in the great depths of My Love for thee. Thou canst not know the bounds of My Love for it is boundless unto thee. Behold, I have the growth and benefit of every one of thee in mind, and like the pretty flowers upon the table this morning, I would open thee; yea, blossom thee open fully. For many of you are yet closed buds, full of excellent potential, yet not having enough of the warmth of My Love to make you open as have these flowers.

Behold ye are the garden of the Lord, and each of thee are My plantings, whereof I am proud. Yet as I said, many are yet closed. But I bid you to feel; yea to absorb My Light, My rays of Sonshine upon you and to blossom in the midst of that Light and warmth, and to give place if I will operate through you. Be not afraid, My Little Ones, ye all are equal in My Sight, and equally capable of blessing My other Children as I give thee somewhat to say or to write for them, saith your Instructor, Jesus.

You are, each of you, depositories of My gifts; of My Spirit. Surely I come to fill each of you with these gifts. How sayest any of you that ye are not worthy? I decide this, even I, the Giver of gifts. Therefore open wide to receive My Love, for indeed tremendous changes come. Love and My Warmth shall transform thee.  And not today alone, but EVERY DAY so walk; so open to Me. And we will have this PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP; yea this LOVE AFFAIR; whereby ye shall every day be strengthened; every day excited to be with Me; every day eager to set thyself forth in the world, whether unto acceptance or unto rejection. Behold, the world cannot touch your peace, your Spirit rest, so long as your eye is upon Me.  Therefore focus, Children; I am the Light that shall first Lighten the darkness of YOUR OWN PRIVATE WORLD. Then BY you, My Light shall give Light to all who are in the house. Then shall My radiant glory burst forth and give Light to My needy World. O! I would cause you to shine as Lights---MY LIGHTS---Therefore, Ye Lamps of the Lord, bare your wicks unto Me; yea be filled with My Holy Oil, and be lit with the Holy Spirit Fire of My Love. And we will rejoice together, saith thy Lord.

O Behold Me, Children. Day after day I behold the sadness of your world; the degradation. Yet My joy is full. Why? Because Mine eye is upon My Father and the fulfilling of His Eternal Will. Indeed I do not look, to be caught up in the day to day happenings, but I look BEYOND TODAY to the big picture, trusting the outcome of all things unto My Father, who knows all. Be this way also, Children.  For if ye look at the world and the happenings around you, surely terror shall seize upon you, even as they who have no hope. But I, your Lord and Savior, say TRUST, AND REST UNDER THE SHADOW OF MY WINGS. Even so, My Children; Amen.

You would know how I would have you to conduct your meetings. I, your Lord and Teacher, say unto you that I do My own work. And to you who are receptive unto Me, surely I come to operate through thee; even to operate My gifts of ministering My wisdom and knowledge, My powers to heal, to save and to redeem others; for the sake of ye all, I come. Much work have we to do inside all of you. Therefore come, Children, freely; not only here but also at your homes. Be not afraid to get alone and let us commune. Ye know how to feel after Me. Ye may not all hear Me yet, but ye know how to feel after Me. I say submit yourself and I will teach thee the operation of these gifts whereby ye may be blessed and may also bless others thereby. The more time ye spend attached to Me, the more real shall My Holy Spirit movements be to thee.

O behold Me! I am Light and Life! All men can hand to you is dead, withered branches. I AM THE VINE OF ETERNAL LIFE. I would that ye remain always attached to Me in your hearts, ever receiving of My Life and Nourishment; and behold ye shall bear much fruit, and your fruit shall remain, and by this ye will fulfill My Father’s will, for it is the will of My Father that ye bring forth much fruit, saith the Eternal Guardian of this group. Amen. John 15:1-16

In the silence and the stillness ye shall find peace. Turmoil cannot enter in. Behold! Death is no more for My Life uplifts you! Death is only walked in when flesh is walked in or entertained or read. And in the process of learning what opens you and what closes your hearts to Me, you will see clearly what be Spirit and the will of God; and what be flesh and the will of man.

Behold, every one of you will make mistakes at this. But I am come to bring Peace and Life to your meetings. And to rid you of the death and flesh that has hithertofore reigned. And Behold, be not afraid of this, for transition must come.  Be not so afraid to speak, for fear of making mistakes, that ye speak not at all, for this is not good either. But remember this is My School of  Learning and ye know not yet what you are to learn, but only come to know as I give you lessons. Therefore, Little Ones, open your hearts to Me, all of you. And I will teach all of that which is necessary for you. And each of you desire to be used, that ye may minister blessings unto your brothers and sisters and in so doing grow in thine own maturity.

Behold not all will prophesy. Some will sing a song or utter a verse, some will have a revelation; but all will work to uplift the group and to encourage; and NONE of My flowers will be trampled underfoot, nor shall I be trampled underfoot, as in some of your past meetings. Behold I know what is good for you, therefore come and trust Me, all of you; for as I said, ye are all in the same boat, needing to learn the way of the Spirit, saith Jesus.

My Children, I rejoice in you being teachable unto Me. Be flexible and able to change as I show you. Fear not change, for it will enhance you even as it puts flesh to death in you. For My word I use to heal you, but it also cuts away flesh that is in the way. So every one of you, being pruned by Me, shall bring forth much fruit. And your fruit shall remain. And it will be healing fruit, not the bitter fruit of man’s reasoning or religion. Behold those fruits are bitter poison unto My Spirit in you and they kill all, both good and bad. So let the sweet odor of thy praise ascend unto Me, even in the midst of My correction. If ye close, because of embarrassment at My correction, let that be between thee and Me. But as I said, I come as thy Teacher, even Almighty Truth; and My Light shall expose all the darkness and drive it out. So therefore prepare your hearts and cringe not. For behold I come to glorify this group. To raise it up an holy people unto Me. And I do this because ye have asked Me. And I do this because ye have made your hearts willing. And let no man or woman defend when he/she is reproved, for this only makes matters worse. Only come, in humble submission, asking forgiveness for your mistakes, for I know ye are all learning. says your Lord.

And now I would have you to receive of My Table, each of you keeping in mind what it means. That I am with you, and that My words are your Bread; My Spirit your Life. And if ye would do this today in silent contemplation it would be best. For no one needs to dictate any of this. Ye know it is My time and your time alone, every one of you in your hearts. It is not the cracker that redeems; nor the grape juice that delivers; neither even that ye partake of them together. But that ye do this thing IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME; whether together or alone, in a high state of reverence and awe, and let none of you be pushed or guided in this. For it be between thee and Me alone, saith the Mighty and Exalted One. I will have these My words written, that they may be studied and shared with those who are not present. Behold, they, too, are loved by Me. Therefore none of you despise My writings through you, but submit them for copying with all that which I have brought forth this day, that they might be a blessing to all. Even so, Amen.

I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD

Have no fear; the Lord is here. But who hath believed our report? (Isaiah 53) And to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? Them that are weaned from the milk and drawn [away] from the breasts [of Christendom]. The Truth of all the ages stands before you, knocking at your heart’s door, awaiting to be opened unto. Will ye open the door unto Me, your Lord and Savior?

Come, O ye Children, in need of learning; and I will teach thee what thou needest to know; and will bring thee Life Everlasting by Mine Own Self, saith the Eternal One.

Hope...Trust...Have Faith in Me, your Creator. Your TRUE PARENT. Shall I give you a stone when you ask for an egg? If you ask Me for bread shall I give you a serpent instead? NAY! Matthew 6:7-11

The serpent dwells in temples and tells you that you cannot trust Me---the inner voice of redemption. But I have had some in every generation who walked and talked with Me and learned from Me. And hated they were by the churches because they would not conform. But I love these My own plantings; and they are not like the plantings of men.

Heed Me, Children; for I am the Good Shepherd and am here to lead thee safely unto green pastures and beside still waters, and ye shall not fear for wolves, for I, Mine Own Self, shall protect thee. Psalms 23, John 10 But men shall leave you unsecure and they shall flee to save themselves FOR A PRICE.  O heed Me therefore, Children, and come ye unto Me. JUST ME,

saith Jesus, the Good Shepherd.

Amen.

John 5:44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?

1 Timothy 6:3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;

6:4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,

6:5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

6:6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.

6:7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

6:8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

6:9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

6:11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

James 2:1 My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.

2:2 For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;

2:3 And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:

2:4 Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?

2:5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?

2:6 But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?

2:7 Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?

2:8  If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:

2:9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.

2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

Romans 8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

Malachi 3:1 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.

3:2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:

3:3 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.

John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

Ephesians 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

Matthew 21:23 And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?

21:24 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things.

21:25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?

21:26 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.

21:27 And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.

Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

1 Corinthians 8:2 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.

Isaiah 13:12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.

James 3:14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.

3:15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.

3:16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

3:18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

Philippians 2:2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

2:3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

2:4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

2 Corinthians 5:16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.

John 15:1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

15:2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

15:3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

15:4 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.

15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

15:6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

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.

15:8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

15:9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.

15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

15:11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

15:12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

15:14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

15:15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

Isaiah 53:1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?

53:2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

53:3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

53:4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

53:7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

53:8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.

53:9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.

53:10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.

53:11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.

53:12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

Matthew 6:7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

6:8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

6:10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

6:11 Give us this day our daily bread.

Psalms 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

23:2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

23:3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

23:5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

John 10:1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

10:2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

10:3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

10:4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

10:5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

10:6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.

10:7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.

10:8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.

10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

10:11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.

10:12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.

10:13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.

10:14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

10:15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

10:17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.

10:18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

10:19 There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.

10:20 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?

10:21 Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?

10:22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.

10:23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.

10:24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.

10:25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.

10:26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.

10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

10:29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

10:30 I and my Father are one.

10:31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.

10:32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?

10:33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.

10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

10:35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;

10:36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?

10:37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.

10:38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.

10:39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,

10:40 And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode.

10:41 And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true.

10:42 And many believed on him there.
