NECESSARY CASTAWAYS
August 22, 1995
Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets
and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:
That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the
foundation of the world, may be required of this generation; From
the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zaccharias which perished
between the alter and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall
be required of this generation. Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye
have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in
yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered. Luke 11
If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can
hinder him? Job 11
Then will the Lord be jealous for his land, and pity his people.
Yea, the Lord will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will
send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied
therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the
heathen: But I will remove far off from you the northern army,
and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face
toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea,
and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up,
because he hath done great things. Fear not, O land; be glad and
rejoice: for the Lord will do great things. Be not afraid, ye
beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do
spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine
do yield their strength. Be glad the, ye children of Zion, and
rejoice in the Lord your God: for he hath given you the former
rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain,
the former rain, and the latter rain, in the first month. And the
floors shall be full of wheat, and the fats shall overflow with
wine and oil. And I will restore to you the years that the locust
hath eaten, the cankerworm, the caterpillar, and the palmerworm,
my great army which I sent among you. And ye shall eat in plenty,
and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, that
hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be
ashamed. And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and
that I am the Lord your God, and none else: and my people shall
never be ashamed. Joel 2
Know ye not they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth
the prize? So run, that you may obtain. And every man that
striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do
it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. I
therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that
beateth the air: But I keep under my body, and bring it into
subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to
others, I myself should be a castaway. I Corinthians 9
When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child,
I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away
childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then
face to face: now I know im part; but then shall I know even as
also I am known. And now abideth faith, hope, and charity, these
three; but the greatest of these is charity. I Corinthians
I Leave You Praying And I Love You. Estella
