Glorify thy Name

Written by Joyce C. Lock

The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him fromrepparttar dead, bare record.

And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, thatrepparttar 126560 Son of man should be glorified. Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.

Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now isrepparttar 126561 Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, thatrepparttar 126562 Father may be glorified inrepparttar 126563 Son.

Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father,repparttar 126564 hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee.

I have glorified thee onrepparttar 126565 earth: I have finishedrepparttar 126566 work which thou gavest me to do. And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self withrepparttar 126567 glory which I had with thee beforerepparttar 126568 world was. And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.

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. He saith to him againrepparttar 126569 second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. He saith unto himrepparttar 126570 third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto himrepparttar 126571 third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

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. This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.

The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob,repparttar 126572 God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him inrepparttar 126573 presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.

So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because ofrepparttar 126574 people: for all men glorified God for that which was done.

When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also torepparttar 126575 Gentiles granted repentance unto life. And whenrepparttar 126576 Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorifiedrepparttar 126577 word ofrepparttar 126578 Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.

And when they heard it, they glorifiedrepparttar 126579 Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous ofrepparttar 126580 law: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

For as many as are led byrepparttar 126581 Spirit of God, they arerepparttar 126582 sons of God. For ye have not receivedrepparttar 126583 spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have receivedrepparttar 126584 Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we arerepparttar 126585 children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, evenrepparttar 126586 Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. And thatrepparttar 126587 Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee amongrepparttar 126588 Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.

For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

Whiles byrepparttar 126589 experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection intorepparttar 126590 gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men; And by their prayer for you, which long after you forrepparttar 126591 exceeding grace of God in you. Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.

When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. Thatrepparttar 126592 name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according torepparttar 126593 grace of our God andrepparttar 126594 Lord Jesus Christ.

Finally, brethren, pray for us, thatrepparttar 126595 word ofrepparttar 126596 Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you.

So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.

Having your conversation honest amongrepparttar 126597 Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God inrepparttar 126598 day of visitation.

If any man speak, let him speak asrepparttar 126599 oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as ofrepparttar 126600 ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

If ye be reproached forrepparttar 126601 name of Christ, happy are ye; forrepparttar 126602 spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.

Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest. Glimpses of God © by Joyce C.

Holy, Holy, Holy

Written by Joyce C. Lock


Continued from page 1

Which things also we speak, not inrepparttar words which man's wisdom teacheth, but whichrepparttar 126559 Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. If any man defilerepparttar 126560 temple of God, him shall God destroy; forrepparttar 126561 temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, byrepparttar 126562 Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, Greet one another with an holy kiss.

The grace ofrepparttar 126563 Lord Jesus Christ, andrepparttar 126564 love of God, andrepparttar 126565 communion ofrepparttar 126566 Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. In whom allrepparttar 126567 building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple inrepparttar 126568 Lord: Which in other ages was not made known untorepparttar 126569 sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets byrepparttar 126570 Spirit; And grieve notrepparttar 126571 holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed untorepparttar 126572 day of redemption. That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

Put on therefore, asrepparttar 126573 elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering ... He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.

Greet allrepparttar 126574 brethren with an holy kiss. I charge you byrepparttar 126575 Lord that this epistle be read unto allrepparttar 126576 holy brethren.

Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, byrepparttar 126577 washing of regeneration, and renewing ofrepparttar 126578 Holy Ghost. God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts ofrepparttar 126579 Holy Ghost, according to his own will? For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher thanrepparttar 126580 heavens. The Holy Ghost this signifying, thatrepparttar 126581 way intorepparttar 126582 holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while asrepparttar 126583 first tabernacle was yet standing.

For Christ is not entered intorepparttar 126584 holy places made with hands, which arerepparttar 126585 figures ofrepparttar 126586 true; but into heaven itself, now to appear inrepparttar 126587 presence of God for us. But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

Ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forthrepparttar 126588 praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: Forrepparttar 126589 prophecy came not in old time byrepparttar 126590 will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved byrepparttar 126591 Holy Ghost. For there are three that bear record in heaven,repparttar 126592 Father,repparttar 126593 Word, andrepparttar 126594 Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

Andrepparttar 126595 four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest. Blessed and holy is he that hath part inrepparttar 126596 first resurrection: on suchrepparttar 126597 second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

And I John sawrepparttar 126598 holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And he carried me away inrepparttar 126599 spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city,repparttar 126600 holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: andrepparttar 126601 Lord God ofrepparttar 126602 holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servantsrepparttar 126603 things which must shortly be done.

He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

And whosoever shall speak a word againstrepparttar 126604 Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth againstrepparttar 126605 Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven. (Whomrepparttar 126606 heaven must receive untilrepparttar 126607 times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken byrepparttar 126608 mouth of all his holy prophets sincerepparttar 126609 world began.) Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
