In His ImageWritten by Joyce C. Lock
Male and Female ~ Created Equal And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over fish of sea, and over fowl of air, and over cattle, and over all earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon earth. So God created man in his own image, in image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass glory of Lord, are changed into same image from glory to glory, even as by Spirit of Lord. That ye might walk worthy of Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in knowledge of God; Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; Giving thanks unto Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of inheritance of saints in light: Who hath delivered us from power of darkness, and hath translated us into kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even forgiveness of sins. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And have put on new man, which is renewed in knowledge after image of him that created him. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::»:§«»§«»§«»§«»§:«::::::::::::::::::::::::::: So I returned, and considered all oppressions that are done under sun: and behold tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter.
| | Be ExaltedWritten by Joyce C. Lock
Thine, O LORD, is greatness, and power, and glory, and victory, and majesty: for all that is in heaven and in earth is thine; thine is kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all. The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let God of my salvation be exalted. Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power. The princes of people are gathered together, even people of God of Abraham: for shields of earth belong unto God: he is greatly exalted. Be thou exalted, O God, above heavens; let thy glory be above all earth. In thy name shall they rejoice all day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted. For thou art glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted. For thou, LORD, art high above all earth: thou art exalted far above all gods. Be thou exalted, O God, above heavens: and thy glory above all earth. The right hand of LORD is exalted: right hand of LORD doeth valiantly. He hath dispersed, he hath given to poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour. By blessing of upright city is exalted: but it is overthrown by mouth of wicked. The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. But LORD of Hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness. And in that day shall ye say, Praise LORD, call upon his name, declare his doings among people, make mention that his name is exalted.
