Matthew 7:13—“ENTER by the NARROW GATE for WIDE is THE GATE and BROAD is THE WAY that LEADS to DESTRUCTION, and there are many who go in by it. (14) because NARROW is THE GATE and DIFFICULT is THE WAY which LEADS TO LIFE, and there are FEW who FIND IT. Proverbs 13:12—Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when THE DESIRE COMES, IT IS A TREE of LIFE.

(Ps. 21:1—The king shall have joy in YOUR STRENGTH, O Lord: and in YOUR SALVATION how greatly shall he rejoice! (2) You HAVE GIVEN HIM HIS HEART’S DESIRE, and have not withheld the request of his lips. (3) For You meet him with THE BLESSINGS of GOODNESS; YOU SET A CROWN of PURE GOLD UPON HIS HEAD. (4) HE ASKED LIFE from YOU, and YOU GAVE IT TO HIM—LENGTH OF DAYS FOREVER and EVER. (5) HIS GLORY is GREAT IN YOUR SALVATION; HONOR and MAJESTY YOU HAVE PLACED UPON HIM. (6) For You have MADE HIM MOST BLESSED FOREVER; You have made him exceedingly glad WITH YOUR PRESENCE. (7) For the king TRUSTS in THE LORD, and THROUGH THE MERCY of THE MOST HIGH HE SHALL NOT BE MOVED.

Joel 2:11—The Lord gives voice before HIS ARMY, for His camp is VERY GREAT; for strong is the One who executes His word. FOR THE DAY OF THE LORD IS GREAT AND VERY TERRIBLE WHO CAN ENDURE IT? (Joel 1:15—Alas for the day! For the day of the Lord is at hand: IT SHALL COME AS DESTRUCTION from THE ALMIGHTY.) (Returning to Joel 2:12-- “NOW, therefore,” says the Lord, “TURN TO ME with ALL YOUR HEART, WITH FASTING, with WEEPING, and with MOURNING,” (13) So REND YOUR HEART, and not your garments; RETURN TO THE LORD YOUR GOD, Psalm 90:3—YOU TURN man TO DESTRUCTION, and say, “RETURN, O CHILDREN of men.”)

(Hosea 11:6—So you, BY THE HELP of YOUR GOD RETURN; OBSERVE MERCY and JUSTICE, and WAIT ON YOUR GOD CONTINUALLY.) (Hebrews 9:28—to those who eagerly WAIT FOR HIM HE WILL APPEAR A SECOND TIME APART FROM SIN FOR SALVATION.( (Isaiah 10:21—THE REMNANT WILL RETURN, the remnant of JACOB, (Ps 24: 6—THIS is JACOB, the GENERATION of those WHO SEEK HIM, who SEEK Your FACE.) to THE MIGHTY GOD. (22) for though your people, O Israel, be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant will RETURN; THE DESTRUCTION DECREED (Isaiah 12: wail, for THE DAY OF THE LORD is at hand! It will COME as DESTRUCTION from the Almighty.) (22) THE DESTRUCTION decreed shall overflow WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS.)

Returning to Joel 2:11—For the day of the Lord is great and very terrible; who can endure it? (12) Now, therefore, says the Lord, TURN TO ME WITH ALL YOUR HEART, with FASTING, with WEEPING, and with MOURNING. (13) So REND YOUR HEART, and not your garments; RETURN TO THE LORD YOUR GOD, For HE IS GRACIOUS and MERCIFUL, slow to anger, and of GREAT KINDNESS; (14) WHO KNOWS IF HE WILL TURN AND RELENT, and LEAVE A BLESSING BEHIND HIM--

Matthew 7:13—“ENTER by the NARROW GATE; for WIDE is the GATE and BROAD is THE WAY that LEADS to DESTRUCTION, and there are many who go in by it. (14) Because NARROW is THE GATE and DIFFICULT is THE WAY which LEADS to LIFE, and there ARE FEW WHO FIND IT. Proverbs 14:12—There is A WAY that SEEMS RIGHT to a man BUT ITS END is THE WAY of DEATH. (Pro. 16:14—As MESSENGERS of DEATH is THE KING’S WRATH, but a wise man WILL APPEASE IT. (15) In THE LIGHT of THE KING’S FACE is LIFE, and HIS FAVOR is LIKE A CLOUD of THE LATTER RAIN.

(Isaiah 55:6—SEEK THE LORD while HE MAY be FOUND, call upon Him WHILE HE IS NEAR. (7) Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; LET HIM RETURN to THE LORD, and HE WILL HAVE MERCY ON HIM; and to our God, FOR HE WILL ABUNDANTLY PARDON. (8) For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways, My ways, says the Lord. (9) For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts. (10) FOR as THE RAIN comes down, and snow from HEAVEN, and DO NOT RETURN there, BUT WATER THE EARTH, and MAKE IT BRING FORTH and BUD, THAT IT MAY GIVE SEED to THE SOWER and BREAD to the eater, (11) SO SHALL MY WORD that goes forth FROM MY MOUTH; IT SHALL NOT RETURN TO ME VOID, BUT IT SHALL ACCOMPLISH WHAT I PLEASE, and it SHALL PROSPER in THE THING for which I SENT IT.

Isaiah 45:22—LOOK to ME, and BE SAVED, ALL YOU ENDS of THE EARTH! For I AM GOD and THERE IS NO OTHER.

Hosea 11:9—I WILL NOT EXECUTE the FIERCENESS of MY ANGER; I will NOT again destroy Ephraim. For I AM GOD and NOT MAN, the Holy One in YOUR MIDST; AND I WILL NOT COME WITH TERROR. (10) They shall walk after the Lord. He WILL ROAR LIKE A LION. (Lion of Judah) When HE ROARS, THEN HIS SONS shall come trembling from the west; (11) They shall come trembling like A BIRD from Egypt LIKE A DOVE from the land of Assyria, and I WILL LET THEM DWELL IN THEIR HOUSES, says the Lord.

45:6—That they may know FROM THE RISING of THE SUN to its SETTING that there is NONE besides ME. I am the Lord, and there is NO OTHER (7) I form THE LIGHT and create DARKNESS, I MAKE PEACE and CREATE CALAMITY; I, the Lord, DO ALL these THINGS. (8) RAIN down, you HEAVENS, from ABOVE, and let the SKIES POUR DOWN RIGHTEOUSNESS; LET THE EARTH OPEN, LET THEM BRING FORTH SALVATION, and LET RIGHTEOUSNESS SPRING UP together. I, the Lord, have created it.

(Is. 61:11—For as the earth BRINGS FORTH its BUD, as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to SPRING FORTH, So THE LORD GOD will CAUSE RIGHTEOUSNESS and PRAISE to SPRING FORTH before ALL THE NATIONS.) (Is. 43:5—Fear not, for I am WITH YOU; I will BRING your DESCENDANTS from THE EAST, and gather you from THE WEST; (6) I will say to THE NORTH, “Give them up! And to THE SOUTH, “Do not keep them back! BRING MY SONS from AFAR, AND MY DAUGHTERS FROM THE ENDS OF THE EARTH—(7) EVERYONE WHO IS CALLED BY MY NAME, Whom I have CREATED for MY GLORY; I have formed him, YES, I have made him.”)

2 Chron 8:14—IF MY PEOPLE who ARE CALLED by MY NAME will HUMBLE themselves, and PRAY and SEEK MY FACE (Matt. 6:9—(Jesus) “IN THIS MANNER PRAY; Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. (10) YOUR KINGDOM COME, YOUR WILL (2 Peter 3:9—The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is LONGSUFFERING toward us, NOT WILLING that ANY should PERISH but THAT ALL should COME TO REPENTANCE.) YOUR WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN; (11) Give us this day our daily bread. (John 6:32—(Jesus) but My Father gives you THE TRUE BREAD from heaven. (33) For THE BREAD of GOD is HE who comes down from heaven AND GIVES LIFE TO THE WORLD.) (12) and FORGIVE us OUR DEBTS, as WE FORGIVE OUR DEBTORS.

(Matthew 18:21—Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I FORGIVE HIM? UP to SEVEN TIMES?” (22) Jesus said to him “I do not say to you up to seven times, BUT UP TO SEVENTY TIMES SEVEN.)
(Col. 3:13—bearing with one another, and FORGIVING one another, if anyone has A COMPLAINT AGAINST ANOTHER, EVEN AS CHRIST FORGAVE YOU SO YOU ALSO MUST DO. (14) But ABOVE ALL THESE THINGS put ON LOVE, WHICH IS THE BOND of PERFECTION.

(Matt. 22:36—Teacher, which IS THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT in the law? (37) Jesus said to him, “YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, with all your soul, and with all your mind. (39) and THE SECOND is LIKE IT: YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.) Matt. 5:44—(Jesus) But I say to you, LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, bless THOSE who CURSE YOU, DO GOOD to those WHO HATE YOU and PRAY for those who SPITEFULLY USE you and PERSECUTE you. (45) THAT you MAY BE SONS of YOUR FATHER in heaven; for HE MAKES HIS SUN RISE ON THE EVIL and ON THE GOOD, and SENDS RAIN on THE JUST and on THE UNJUST. (46) For if you love those who love you, WHAT REWARD HAVE YOU? DO NOT EVEN THE TAX COLLECTORS DO THE SAME? (47) And IF YOU GREET YOUR BRETHREN ONLY, WHAT DO YOU DO MORE THAN OTHERS? Do not even the tax collectors DO SO? (48) THEREFORE you SHALL BE PERFECT, JUST AS YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN IS PERFECT.)

Returning to Matthew 6:13—and do not lead us into temptation, BUT DELIVER US FROM THE EVIL ONE. John 17:15—(Jesus) “I DO NOT PRAY THAT YOU SHOULD TAKE THEM OUT OF THE WORLD, BUT THAT YOU SHOULD KEEP THEM FROM THE EVIL ONE.) For Yours is THE KINGDOM and THE POWER and THE GLORY forever. AMEN!

1 Chron. 29:10—Therefore David blessed the Lord before ALL THE CONGREGATION; and David said: “Blessed are You, Lord God of Israel, our Father, forever and ever. (11) Yours, O Lord, is THE GREATNESS, THE POWER and THE GLORY, THE VICTORY and THE MAJESTY; For ALL that is in HEAVEN and IN EARTH IS YOURS; YOUR IS THE KINGDOM, O Lord, and YOU ARE EXALTED AS HEAD OVER ALL. (12) Both riches and honor come from You, and YOU REIGN OVER ALL. In Your had IS POWER and MIGHT: In Your hand IT IS TO MAKE GREAT AND TO GIVE STRENGTH TO ALL. (13) Now therefore, our God, we THANK YOU and PRAISE YOUR GLORIOUS NAME.

Ps. 148:1—Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from the heavens; praise Him in the heights! (2) Praise Him all His angels; praise Him, all His hosts! (3) PRAISE HIM, SUN and MOON; praise Him, all you stars of light! (4) Praise Him you heavens of heavens, and you waters above the heavens! (5) Let them praise the name of the Lord, FOR HE COMMANDED and THEY WERE CREATED. (6) HE HAS ALSO ESTABLISHED THEM FOREVER and EVER; HE HAS MADE A DECREE WHICH SHALL NOT PASS AWAY.

Ps. 2:7—I WILL DECLARE THE DECREE: The Lord has said to Me, YOU are MY SON, today I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU. (8) ASK of ME and I WILL GIVE YOU, THE NATIONS for YOUR INHERITANCE, and THE ENDS OF THE EARTH for YOUR POSSESSION.

Matthew 28:18—Then Jesus came and spoke to them saying, ‘ALL AUTHORITY has BEEN GIVEN to ME in HEAVEN and ON EARTH. (19) GO THEREFORE and make DISCIPLES OF ALL THE NATIONS, baptizing them IN THE NAME of THE FATHER and of THE SON and of THE HOLY SPIRIT, (20) TEACHING THEM TO OBSERVE ALL THINGS, THAT I HAVE COMMANDED YOU; AND LO I AM WITH YOU ALWAY, EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD. AMEN. (KJV)

John 16:12—THIS IS MY COMMANDMENT, THAT YOU LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS I HAVE LOVED YOU. (13) GREATER LOVE HAS NO ONE THAN THIS, THAN TO LAY DOWN ONE’S LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS. (14) YOU ARE MY FRIENDS IF YOU DO WHATEVER I COMMAND YOU.

I did not receive this from the Lord, until after this article was posted. However, I feel that it is very important, so I am adding it on.

1 Peter 2:9--But you are A CHOSEN GENERATION, a royal PRIESTHOOD, a HOLY NATION, HIS OWN SPECIAL PEOPLE, that you may PROCLAIM the PRAISES of HIM who CALLED YOU OUT OF DARKNESS into HIS OWN MARVELOUS LIGHT:

Amos 5:20--IS NOT the day of the Lord DARKNESS, and NOT LIGHT? Is it not VERY DARK, with NO BRIGHTNESS in it?

1 John 1:5--This is THE MESSAGE which we have HEARD FROM HIM and DECLARE to YOU, that GOD IS LIGHT and IN HIM is NO DARKNESS AT ALL.
