"WAS HE POWERFUL"
Was he the mighty God when he spake the world out of the womb of nonexistence? Was he the Omnipotent when he piled the mountains and scooped out the hollow places for the rolling deep? Yes, he was powerful then, and his arm is unpalsied now, he is the same giant in his might; the sap of his nourishment is undried, and the strength of his soul stands the same for ever. Was he wise when he constituted this mighty globe, when he laid the foundations of the universe? Had he wisdom when he planned the way of our salvation, and when from all eternity he marked out his awful plans? Yes, and he is wise now; he is not less skillful, he has not less knowledge; his eye which seeth all things is undimmed; his ear which heareth all the cries, sighs, sobs, and groans of his people, is not rendered heavy by the years which he hath heard their prayers. He is unchanged in his wisdom, he knows as much now as ever, neither more nor less; he has the same consummate skill, and the same infinite forecastings. He is unchanged, blessed be his name, in his justice. just and holy was he in the past; just and holy is he now. He is unchanged in his truth; he has promised, and he brings it to pass; he hath saith it, and it shall be done. He varies not in the goodness, and generosity, and benevolence of his nature. He is not become an Almighty tyrant, whereas he was once an Almighty Father; but his strong love stands like a granite rock, unmoved by the hurricanes of our iniquity. And blessed be his dear name, he is unchanged in his love. When he first wrote the covenant, how full his heart was with affection to his people. He knew that his Son must die to ratify the articles of that agreement. He knew right well that he must rend his best beloved from his bowels, and send him down to earth to bleed and die. He did not hesitate to sign that mighty covenant; nor did he shun its fulfillment. He loves as much now as he did then, and when suns shall cease to shine, and moons to show their feeble light, he still shall love on for ever and for ever. Take any one attribute of God, and I will write semper idem on it (always the same). Take any one thing you can say of God now, and it may be said not only in the dark past, but in the bright future it shall always remain the same: "I am Jehovah, I change not."

"TEST THE SPIRIT"
WATCH OUT FOR FALSE TEACHERS.
THEY COME TO YOU IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING,
BUT INWARDLY THEY ARE FEROICOUS WOLVES.
BY THEIR FRUIT YOU WILL RECOGNIZE THEM.
DO PEOPLE PICK GRAPES FROM THORNBRUSHES,
OR FIGS FROM THISTLES?
LIKEWISE EVERY GOOD TREE BEARS GOOD FRUIT,
BUT A BAD TREE BEARS BAD FRUIT,
AND A BAD TREE CAN NOT BEAR GOOD FRUIT.
EVERY TREE THAT DOES NOT BEAR GOOD FRUIT IS CUT DOWN
AND THROWN INTO THE FIRE.
THUS BY THEIR FRUITS YOU WILL KNOW THEM.
MATT 7:21-23
DEAR PRECIOUS BELIEVER; THE PRAYER ROOM IS WHERE YOUR EYES WILL BE OPEN,TO YOUR COMPANY. YOU WILL KNOW WHEN YOU RISE FROM YOUR KNEES, IF THESE FRIENDS ARE WOLVES,(THOSE WHO TAKE AND DEVOUR, FOR THEIR OWN APPETITE), OR BROTHERS WHO YOU WILL KNOW BECAUSE OF THEIR GOOD FRUIT.
CHOOSE NOTHING LESS FOR YOURSELF TODAY!

GLORIOUS TRINITY
The most excellent study for expanding the soul, is the science of Christ, and him crucified, and the knowledge of the Godhead in the glorious Trinity. Nothing will so enlarge the intellect, nothing so magnify the whole soul of man, as a devout, earnest, continued investigation of the great subject of the Deity. And, whilst humbling and expanding, this subject is eminently consolatary. Oh, there is, in contemplating Christ, a balm for every wound; in musing on the Father, there is a quietus for every grief; and in the influence of the Holy Ghost, there is a balsam for every sore. Would you lose your sorrows? Would you drown your cares? Then go, plunge yourself in the Godhead's deepest sea; be lost in his immensity; and you shall come forth as from a couch of rest, refreshed and invigorated.
But God is perpetually the same. He is not composed of any substance or material, but is spirit—pure, essential, and ethereal spirit—and therefore he is immutable. He remains everlastingly the same. There are no furrows on his eternal brow. No age hath palsied him; no years have marked him with the mementoes of their flight; he sees ages pass, but with him it is ever now. He is the great I AM—the Great Unchangeable.
He never has been changed in his essence, not even by his incarnation; he remains everlastingly, eternally, the one unchanging God, the Father of lights, with whom there is no variableness, neither the shadow of a change.

"TEN THOUSAND TIMES TEN THOUSAND"
THEY ENCIRCLED THE THRONE AND THE LIVING
CREATURES AND THE ELDERS.
IN ONE LOUD VOICE THEY SANG:
"WORTHY IS THE LAMB, WHO WAS SLAIN,
TO RECEIVE POWER AND WEALTH AND
WISDOM AND STRENGTH
AND HONOR AND GLORY AND PRAISE!"
THEN I HEARD EVERY CREATURE IN HEAVEN
AND ON THE EARTH AND UNDER THE EARTH
AND ON THE SEA, AND ALL THAT IS IN THEM,
SINGING:
TO HIM WHO SITS ON THE THRONE AND TO
THE LAMB
BE PRAISE AND HONOR AND GLORY AND POWER,
FOR EVER AND EVER!"
THE FOUR LIVING CREATURES SAID, "AMEN"
AND THE ELDERS FELL DOWN AND WORSHIPED.
REV: 5:11-14
DEAR BELIEVER; IN YOUR PRAYER ROOM THIS MORNING, YOU JOIN ANGELS, NUMBERING THOUSANDS TIME TEN THOUSANDS. ONE MAJOR DIFERRENCE BETWEEN YOU AND THEM, "YOU CAN CALL THE ONE WHO SITS UPON THE THRONE, FATHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"HONOR"
CHILDREN, OBEY YOUR PARENTS IN THE LORD,
FOR THIS IS RIGHT.
"HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER",
WHICH IS THE FIRST COMMANDMENT
WITH A PROMISE,
"THAT IT MAY GO WELL WITH YOU AND THAT
YOU MAY ENJOY LIFE HERE ON
EARTH."
EPH 6:1
DEAR PRECIOUS BELIEVER; PAUL GOES ON TO SAY; BE CAREFUL, THEN HOW YOU LIVE, NOT AS UNWISE BUT AS WISE, MAKING THE MOST OF EVERY OPPORTUNITY, BECAUSE THE DAYS ARE EVIL. THEREFORE DO NOT BE FOOLISH, BUT UNDERSTAND WHAT THE LORD'S WILL IS.
LOOK DEEP PRECIOUS SAINT; THE CRY HERE IS SO THAT YOU DO NOT BECOME FOOLISH, AND LOSE THE PROMISE. "THAT IT MAY GO WELL WITH YOU AND THAT YOU MAY ENJOY LIFE!" INFERENCE THEN, IS THAT THE DOOR WILL NOT BE OPEN FOR THE OPPOSITE TO HAPPEN. YOU WILL LOSE THE PROMISE.
IF THIS IS THE HEART OF THE LORD TO KEEP YOU IN GREEN PASTURES OF PROMISE WHY DO YOU CHOOSE THE MUCK AND MIRE OF DISOBEIENCE ?
GOD AND YOUR PARENTS HAVE ONE PURE MOTIVE, THAT YOU DON'T LOSE THE PROMISE. "OBEY," IS A WORD DEFINED BY THE WORLD AS CONFINEMENT, REBELLIOUS, BUT DEFINED BY THE WORD OF GOD BY HUMILITY AND HONOR.
BOW YOUR KNEE THIS MORNING BEFORE THE LOVER OF YOUR SOUL, AND PLACE BEFORE HIM YOUR HEART AND YOU WILL WALK IN HIS PROMISE.
AMEN.

"WHAT IS IN YOUR MOUTH"
I WAITED PATIENTLY FOR THE LORD;
HE TURNED TO ME AND HEARD MY CRY
HE LIFTED ME OUT OF THE SLIMY PIT,
OUT OF THE MUD AND MIRE,
HE SET MY FEET ON A ROCK
AND GAVE ME A FIRM PLACE TO STAND.
HE PUT A NEW SONG IN MY MOUTH,
A HYMN OF PRAISE TO OUR GOD.
MANY WILL SEE AND FEAR, AND PUT THEIR
TRUST IN THE LORD.
PSALMS 40:1-3
DEAR BELIEVER; NOTICE THE WORDS, "HE TURNEDTO ME,". WHEN YOU CRY, HE TURNS, HIS HEART MOVED BY THE VOICE OF HIS CHILD. THEN HE LIFTS YOU UP,AND PLACES YOU ON THE ROCK, AND PUTS A NEW SONG IN YOUR MOUTH.
