Do You Hear What I Hear?

Written by Joyce C. Lock


Continued from page 1

If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saithrepparttar LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart.

What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear inrepparttar 126582 ear, that preach ye uponrepparttar 126583 housetops.

The queen ofrepparttar 126584 south shall rise up inrepparttar 126585 judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came fromrepparttar 126586 uttermost parts ofrepparttar 126587 earth to hearrepparttar 126588 wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. Then shallrepparttar 126589 righteous shine forth asrepparttar 126590 sun inrepparttar 126591 kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

And he calledrepparttar 126592 multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: And Jesus answered him, The first of allrepparttar 126593 commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hearrepparttar 126594 word of God, and do it.

And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him. And there came a voice out ofrepparttar 126595 cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.

Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses andrepparttar 126596 prophets; let them hear them. And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses andrepparttar 126597 prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose fromrepparttar 126598 dead. Andrepparttar 126599 Lord said, Hear whatrepparttar 126600 unjust judge saith.

But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; butrepparttar 126601 end is not by and by.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, whenrepparttar 126602 dead shall hearrepparttar 126603 voice ofrepparttar 126604 Son of God: and they that hear shall live. Marvel not at this: forrepparttar 126605 hour is coming, inrepparttar 126606 which all that are inrepparttar 126607 graves shall hear his voice.

I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, butrepparttar 126608 will ofrepparttar 126609 Father which hath sent me. He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

To himrepparttar 126610 porter openeth; andrepparttar 126611 sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: butrepparttar 126612 sheep did not hear them. 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.

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

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judgerepparttar 126613 world, but to saverepparttar 126614 world. He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: andrepparttar 126615 word which ye hear is not mine, butrepparttar 126616 Father's which sent me.

Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him inrepparttar 126617 midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: Therefore being byrepparttar 126618 right hand of God exalted, and having received ofrepparttar 126619 Fatherrepparttar 126620 promise ofrepparttar 126621 Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.

For Moses truly said untorepparttar 126622 fathers, A prophet shallrepparttar 126623 Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from amongrepparttar 126624 people. This is that Moses, which said untorepparttar 126625 children of Israel, A prophet shallrepparttar 126626 Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear.

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hearrepparttar 126627 words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: forrepparttar 126628 time is at hand.

Getting Ready

Written by Joyce C. Lock


Continued from page 1

The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I causedrepparttar widow's heart to sing for joy. (If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready. For, lo,repparttar 126581 wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow uponrepparttar 126582 string, that they may privily shoot atrepparttar 126583 upright in heart. Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings againstrepparttar 126584 face of them).

For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

Keep thy foot when thou goest torepparttar 126585 house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to giverepparttar 126586 sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.

And it shall come to pass in that day, thatrepparttar 126587 great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish inrepparttar 126588 land of Assyria, andrepparttar 126589 outcasts inrepparttar 126590 land of Egypt, and shall worshiprepparttar 126591 Lord inrepparttar 126592 holy mount at Jerusalem.

The heart also ofrepparttar 126593 rash shall understand knowledge, andrepparttar 126594 tongue ofrepparttar 126595 stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.

Sorepparttar 126596 carpenter encouragedrepparttar 126597 goldsmith, and he that smootheth withrepparttar 126598 hammer him that smoterepparttar 126599 anvil, saying, It is ready forrepparttar 126600 sodering: and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved.

For they have made ready their heart like an oven, whiles they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth allrepparttar 126601 night; inrepparttar 126602 morning it burneth as a flaming fire.

Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come untorepparttar 126603 marriage.

Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think notrepparttar 126604 Son of man cometh.

><><><><><><><><><><

And while they went to buy,repparttar 126605 bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him torepparttar 126606 marriage: andrepparttar 126607 door was shut.
