And, Thou, Lord, inrepparttar beginning hast laidrepparttar 126565 foundation ofrepparttar 126566 earth; andrepparttar 126567 heavens arerepparttar 126568 works of thine hands: Who verily was foreordained beforerepparttar 126569 foundation ofrepparttar 126570 world, but was manifest in these last times for you, I was inrepparttar 126571 Spirit onrepparttar 126572 Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, Saying, I am Alpha and Omega,repparttar 126573 first andrepparttar 126574 last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it untorepparttar 126575 seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I amrepparttar 126576 first andrepparttar 126577 last: And untorepparttar 126578 angel ofrepparttar 126579 church in Smyrna write; These things saithrepparttar 126580 first andrepparttar 126581 last, which was dead, and is alive; I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; andrepparttar 126582 last to be more thanrepparttar 126583 first.

I am Alpha and Omega,repparttar 126584 beginning andrepparttar 126585 end,repparttar 126586 first andrepparttar 126587 last. Glimpses of God © by Joyce C.

Our God Reigns

Continued from page 1

Ye shall have a song, as inrepparttar night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come intorepparttar 126564 mountain ofrepparttar 126565 Lord, torepparttar 126566 mighty One of Israel. Thou shalt also suckrepparttar 126567 milk ofrepparttar 126568 Gentiles, and shalt suckrepparttar 126569 breast of kings: and thou shalt know that Irepparttar 126570 Lord am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer,repparttar 126571 mighty One of Jacob. Thus saithrepparttar 126572 Lord, Let notrepparttar 126573 wise man glory in his wisdom, neither letrepparttar 126574 mighty man glory in his might, let notrepparttar 126575 rich man glory in his riches: Butrepparttar 126576 Lord is with me as a mighty terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten.

Thou shewest lovingkindness unto thousands, and recompensestrepparttar 126577 iniquity ofrepparttar 126578 fathers intorepparttar 126579 bosom of their children after them:repparttar 126580 Great,repparttar 126581 Mighty God,repparttar 126582 Lord of hosts, is his name, Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for thine eyes are open upon allrepparttar 126583 ways ofrepparttar 126584 sons of men: to give every one according to his ways, and according torepparttar 126585 fruit of his doings: Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

As I live, saithrepparttar 126586 Lord God, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule over you: And I will bring you out fromrepparttar 126587 people, and will gather you out ofrepparttar 126588 countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.

Ye shall eatrepparttar 126589 flesh ofrepparttar 126590 mighty, and drinkrepparttar 126591 blood ofrepparttar 126592 princes ofrepparttar 126593 earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan. Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saithrepparttar 126594 Lord God.

How great are his signs! and how mighty are his wonders! his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation.

And now, O Lord our God, that hast brought thy people forth out ofrepparttar 126595 land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten thee renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly.

For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflictrepparttar 126596 just, they take a bribe, and they turn asiderepparttar 126597 poor inrepparttar 126598 gate from their right. But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.

Art thou not from everlasting, O Lord my God, mine Holy One? We shall not die. O Lord, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction.

The Lord thy God inrepparttar 126599 midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.

And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?

And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

And whenrepparttar 126600 sabbath day was come, he began to teach inrepparttar 126601 synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?

And king Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread abroad:) and he said, That Johnrepparttar 126602 Baptist was risen fromrepparttar 126603 dead, and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him. For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.

He hath put downrepparttar 126604 mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.

And when he was come nigh, even now atrepparttar 126605 descent ofrepparttar 126606 mount of Olives,repparttar 126607 whole multitude ofrepparttar 126608 disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for allrepparttar 126609 mighty works that they had seen; And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and allrepparttar 126610 people.

And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled allrepparttar 126611 house where they were sitting.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And I heard as it wererepparttar 126612 voice of a great multitude

And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saithrepparttar 126613 Lord unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; forrepparttar 126614 battle is not yours, but God's.

and asrepparttar 126615 voice of many waters

Many waters cannot quench love, neither canrepparttar 126616 floods drown it: if a man would give allrepparttar 126617 substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.

and asrepparttar 126618 voice of mighty thunderings

And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach, And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils: And Simon he surnamed Peter; And Jamesrepparttar 126619 son of Zebedee, and Johnrepparttar 126620 brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder:

saying, Alleluia: forrepparttar 126621 Lord God omnipotent reigneth.

And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful arerepparttar 126622 feet of them that preachrepparttar 126623 gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

How beautiful uponrepparttar 126624 mountains arerepparttar 126625 feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men afterrepparttar 126626 flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosenrepparttar 126627 foolish things ofrepparttar 126628 world to confoundrepparttar 126629 wise; and God hath chosenrepparttar 126630 weak things ofrepparttar 126631 world to confoundrepparttar 126632 things which are mighty; (Forrepparttar 126633 weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God torepparttar 126634 pulling down of strong holds). Humble yourselves therefore underrepparttar 126635 mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time.
