How to Position Yourself
to Reign!
With joy, believing God, believing His
Word!
By Riqui Ricón*
How the king rejoices
in your strength, O LORD! He shouts
with joy because
you give him victory (Psalm 21:1, NLT).
Truly amazing! That’s
right, amazing is the word that comes to your mind when
you read and meditate on what the Word of
God says about you today. Because indeed, God is speaking about you in His
Word. You are that king (queen) who rejoices
in the strength of the Lord and who can shout for joy because God has already given you the
victory.
Nay, in all these
things we are more than conquerors through
him that loved us
(Romans 8:37, KJV).
Through Christ Jesus, through His death and
resurrection, God has declared you more than a conqueror
over any problem,
anguish, or illness
that you are facing today.
For whatsoever is born of God
overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even
our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? (1 John 5:4-5, KJV).
You are a Born Again Child of God and therefore, because
of what Jesus did on the cross by dying to pay for your sins
and rising again to defeat death to give you Eternal Life, you have overcome
the world and its system of disease, failure, and death, together with Christ
Jesus.
You overcome every day by believing God, believing His Word. You overcome
by believing that the Bible is the Word of God and by applying it to every
adverse circumstance in your life.
And they sung a new song, saying,
Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open
the seals thereof:
for thou wast slain,
and hast redeemed
us to God by thy
blood out of every kindred,
and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made
us
unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth (Revelation
5:9-10, KJV).
By the Blood of Jesus, you are that king
(queen) who is to reign on the earth! Therefore, rejoice in the strength of the
Lord. And what is the strength of the Lord? It is not His muscles, nor His angels,
nor His thunders
and lightnings; the strength of the Lord is His Word!
So, rejoice in the Word of the Lord. Shout for joy, because through
the Word of God, you obtain victory over any
circumstance.
What’s more, I am with you, and I will protect
you wherever you go. One day I will bring you back to this land. I will
not leave you until I have finished giving you everything I have promised you (Genesis
28:15, NLT).
The promise God made to Jacob there at
Bethel remains in effect and is updated with your name. As you begin
a new year or a new project,
as you face any challenge,
anguish, problem, or illness, God is with you and will protect you wherever you
go!
In fact, the Almighty has committed His Word
that He will not leave you until He has finished
giving you EVERYTHING He has promised
you. This is very good news. Excellent news that will allow
you to position yourself as the true champion you now are: That Born Again
Child of God destined to reign on the earth!
For if by one man's offence death
reigned by one; much more they which receive
abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ (Romans
5:17, KJV).
This day, rejoice
in the strength of the Lord! Shout for joy because this year
you are going to reign in life!
And if perhaps you think this is not for you
because of your transgressions and hidden sins, then pay close attention to how God expresses it in the New Living Translation:
For the sin of this one man, Adam,
caused death to rule over many. But even
greater is God’s wonderful grace and his gift of righteousness, for all who
receive it will live in triumph over sin and death through
this one man, Jesus
Christ (Romans 5:17, NLT).
Through the sin of one man, Adam, death reigned
in your life; but through
the wonderful Grace of God and the gift of His righteousness, now you
can live in victory over sin and death through your Savior, Christ Jesus.
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal
life through Jesus Christ our Lord (Romans
6:23, KJV).
Certainly the wages of sin is death, but the
gift God gave you is Eternal Life, which is an attribute of divinity and therefore can only be held by an authentic and genuine Child of God.
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus,
who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the
Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death (Romans
8:1-2, KJV).
It is precisely your identity as a Child of
God through Jesus Christ that allows you to reign with full freedom, for the matter of sin was resolved
on that cross once and for all.
See how very much our Father loves
us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are! But the people
who belong to this world don’t recognize
that we are God’s children
because they don’t know him (1 John 3:1, NLT).
Position
yourself! You are a legitimate and genuine Child
of God. You are loved by your Father and you are destined
to reign over afflictions, problems, and illnesses. If you can believe the Word
of God, then for the one who believes God, EVERYTHING is possible.
For you have given him his heart’s
desire; you have withheld nothing he requested. You welcomed him with success
and prosperity; you placed a crown of purest gold on his head. He asked you to
preserve his life, and you granted his request; the days of his life stretch on
forever. Your victory gives him great honor, and you have clothed him with
splendor and majesty. You have endowed him with eternal blessings
and given him the joy of your presence. For
the king trusts
in the LORD; the unfailing love of the Most High will keep him
from stumbling (Psalm 21:2-7, NLT).
Let’s pray out loud:
Beloved
heavenly Father, how beautiful it is to know that despite afflictions,
problems, illnesses, and even my sins, in You, in Your Love, I have the Grace
to come out more than a conqueror in any circumstance. Thank You for such a
great and vast Love. Lord Jesus, because of what You did by dying and rising
again out of Love for me, You paid for all my sins and now I have been born
again as a Beloved Child of my heavenly Father. I am in this world to reign as
a legitimate Child of the Almighty God. Therefore, I take authority over my
circumstances, I submit
to God and His Word, I resist
the devil and he must flee
from me. I do not accept fear, nor depression, nor anguish, nor illness, nor
scarcity, nor poverty, nor resentment, nor disappointment, nor failure, nor
defeat. On the contrary, I, (your
name here), in all these things am more than a conqueror through the Love of my
King, Lord, and Savior, Christ Jesus. I believe and declare that I am healed of
any disease. I am free! I am prosperous! I am blessed! In the name of Jesus.
Amen.
Important Note:
How do I become a Child of God? How do I establish a relationship with the
Almighty?
Just say the following prayer
aloud, putting all your attention
and heart into what you are saying to God:
Lord Jesus, I believe that You are the Son of
God. That You came into this world, born
of the virgin Mary, to pay for all my sins, and I have
been a sinner. Therefore, today I say that I accept. I accept Your
sacrifice on the cross! I accept Your precious
Blood shed to the last drop out of love for me! I open my
heart to You and invite You in
because I want, Lord Jesus, that from today and forever You be my only and sufficient Savior, my
God, my King, and my Lord.
Thank You, Almighty God, because with this
simple prayer and profession of faith I have passed from death to Life, I have been transferred from darkness
to Your marvelous Light. Today I have been Born Again! God, now I am Your
Child! Now You are my Father! I will never be alone again! I will never live
defeated again. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
Three Recommendations:
What just happened by you recognizing Jesus Christ as the Lord and
Savior of your life, according
to God's Word, is that you have been Born Again. No longer
as an ordinary human being, subject to the law of sin and death, but now as a
legitimate and authentic Child of God, Born Again, exactly like Jesus Christ, who is now your Older Brother. Therefore,
I give you these three, very important, recommendations:
1.
Pray. Praying is talking with God. So, find a quiet
place where you can begin talking to Him about everything. Do it out loud, and you will notice
how God always responds to your heart.
2.
Read and meditate
on the Word of God. The Bible
is the Word of God, so
get a Bible and start reading and meditating on it. How do you begin? It’s very simple. Depending on the day,
look up the reading program “The
Bible in One Year” and do the corresponding readings. You can get this program at: Through The Bible In One Year (palabradehonor.org). You will notice
that the program is set up so you can print it as a booklet.
3.
In prayer with God, your Father, look for and join a
Christian church or congregation where the Word of God is taught based
on the Good News, which are
the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Reading and Meditation on the Word of God
Do these daily readings, and by the end of one year you will have read the
entire Bible.
January 21 Luke 16 / Genesis
27.46-28.22 / Psalm 21
Luke
16 And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had
a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods.
2 And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for
thou mayest be no longer steward.
3 Then the steward said within himself,
What shall I do? for my lord taketh
away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.
4 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
5 So he called every one of his lord's
debtors unto him, and said unto the first,
How much owest thou unto my lord?
6 And he said, An hundred measures
of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill,
and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
7 Then said he to
another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures
of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write
fourscore.
8 And the lord
commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.
9 And I say unto
you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that,
when ye fail,
they may receive
you into everlasting habitations.
10 He that is faithful
in that which is least is faithful
also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in
much.
11 If therefore
ye have not been faithful
in the unrighteous mammon, who will
commit to your trust the true riches?
12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another
man's, who shall give you that which is your own?
13 No servant
can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to
the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
14 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they
derided him.
15 And he said unto
them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which
is highly esteemed
among men is abomination in the sight of God.
16 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man
presseth into it.
17 And it is easier for heaven
and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.
18 Whosoever putteth
away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth
her that is put away from her husband
committeth adultery.
19 There was a certain
rich man, which was clothed
in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
20 And there was a certain beggar
named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate,
full of sores,
21 And desiring
to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked
his sores.
22 And it came to pass, that the beggar
died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man
also died, and was buried;
23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham
afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24 And he cried and
said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue;
for I am tormented in this
flame.
25 But Abraham
said, Son, remember
that thou in thy lifetime
receivedst thy good things,
and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art
tormented.
26 And beside all
this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither
can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father,
that thou wouldest
send him to my father's house:
28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come
into this place of torment.
29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets;
let them hear them.
30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham:
but if one went unto them from the
dead, they will repent.
31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither
will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
Genesis
46 And Rebekah said to
Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters
of Heth, such as these which are of the daughters of the land, what
good shall my life do me?
28 And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged
him, and said unto
him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
2 Arise, go to
Padanaram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's father; and take thee a wife from thence
of the daughers of Laban
thy mother's brother.
3 And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that
thou mayest be a multitude of people;
4
And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and
to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land wherein
thou art a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham.
5 And Isaac
sent away Jacob:
and he went to Padanaram
unto Laban, son of
Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother.
6 When Esau saw
that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padanaram, to take him a wife from thence;
and that as he blessed
him he gave him a charge,
saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughers of Canaan;
7 And that Jacob obeyed
his father and his mother,
and was gone to
Padanaram;
8
And Esau seeing
that the daughters
of Canaan pleased
not Isaac his
father;
9 Then went Esau
unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham's
son, the sister
of Nebajoth, to be
his wife.
10 And Jacob
went out from Beersheba, and went toward
Haran.
11 And he lighted upon a certain
place, and tarried
there all night,
because the sun was set; and
he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down
in that place to sleep.
12 And he dreamed,
and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.
13 And, behold, the
LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father,
and the God of Isaac:
the land whereon
thou liest, to thee
will I give it, and to thy seed;
14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and
to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the
families of the earth be blessed.
15 And, behold,
I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places
whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave
thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to
thee of.
16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this
place; and I knew it not.
17 And he was afraid,
and said, How dreadful is this place!
this is none other but the
house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
18 And Jacob
rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put
for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it.
19 And he called the name of that place
Bethel: but the name of that city was
called Luz at the first.
20 And Jacob
vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me
bread to eat, and raiment to put on,
21 So that I come again to my father's
house in peace;
then shall the LORD be my God:
22 And this stone, which I have set for a pillar,
shall be God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely
give the tenth unto thee.
Psalm
21 The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he
rejoice!
2 Thou hast given him his heart's
desire, and hast not withholden the request of his
lips. Selah.
3 For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown
of pure gold on his head.
4 He asked life of thee, and thou gavest
it him, even length of days for ever and ever.
5 His glory
is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty
hast thou laid upon
him.
6 For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him
exceeding glad with thy countenance.
7 For the king trusteth
in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he
shall not be moved.
8
Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.
9 Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger:
the LORD shall swallow them up in his
wrath, and the fire shall devour them.
10 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth,
and their seed from among the children of men.
11 For they intended evil against thee: they imagined
a mischievous device, which they are not able to
perform.
How to Position Yourself
to Reign!
With joy, believing God, believing His
Word!
By Riqui Ricón*
How the king rejoices
in your strength, O LORD! He shouts
with joy because
you give him victory (Psalm 21:1, NLT).
Truly amazing! That’s
right, amazing is the word that comes to your mind when
you read and meditate on what the Word of
God says about you today. Because indeed, God is speaking about you in His
Word. You are that king (queen) who rejoices
in the strength of the Lord and who can shout for joy because God has already given you the
victory.
Nay, in all these
things we are more than conquerors through
him that loved us
(Romans 8:37, KJV).
Through Christ Jesus, through His death and
resurrection, God has declared you more than a conqueror
over any problem,
anguish, or illness
that you are facing today.
For whatsoever is born of God
overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even
our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? (1 John 5:4-5, KJV).
You are a Born Again Child of God and therefore, because
of what Jesus did on the cross by dying to pay for your sins
and rising again to defeat death to give you Eternal Life, you have overcome
the world and its system of disease, failure, and death, together with Christ
Jesus.
You overcome every day by believing God, believing His Word. You overcome
by believing that the Bible is the Word of God and by applying it to every
adverse circumstance in your life.
And they sung a new song, saying,
Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open
the seals thereof:
for thou wast slain,
and hast redeemed
us to God by thy
blood out of every kindred,
and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made
us
unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth (Revelation
5:9-10, KJV).
By the Blood of Jesus, you are that king
(queen) who is to reign on the earth! Therefore, rejoice in the strength of the
Lord. And what is the strength of the Lord? It is not His muscles, nor His angels,
nor His thunders
and lightnings; the strength of the Lord is His Word!
So, rejoice in the Word of the Lord. Shout for joy, because through
the Word of God, you obtain victory over any
circumstance.
What’s more, I am with you, and I will protect
you wherever you go. One day I will bring you back to this land. I will
not leave you until I have finished giving you everything I have promised you (Genesis
28:15, NLT).
The promise God made to Jacob there at
Bethel remains in effect and is updated with your name. As you begin
a new year or a new project,
as you face any challenge,
anguish, problem, or illness, God is with you and will protect you wherever you
go!
In fact, the Almighty has committed His Word
that He will not leave you until He has finished
giving you EVERYTHING He has promised
you. This is very good news. Excellent news that will allow
you to position yourself as the true champion you now are: That Born Again
Child of God destined to reign on the earth!
For if by one man's offence death
reigned by one; much more they which receive
abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ (Romans
5:17, KJV).
This day, rejoice
in the strength of the Lord! Shout for joy because this year
you are going to reign in life!
And if perhaps you think this is not for you
because of your transgressions and hidden sins, then pay close attention to how God expresses it in the New Living Translation:
For the sin of this one man, Adam,
caused death to rule over many. But even
greater is God’s wonderful grace and his gift of righteousness, for all who
receive it will live in triumph over sin and death through
this one man, Jesus
Christ (Romans 5:17, NLT).
Through the sin of one man, Adam, death reigned
in your life; but through
the wonderful Grace of God and the gift of His righteousness, now you
can live in victory over sin and death through your Savior, Christ Jesus.
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal
life through Jesus Christ our Lord (Romans
6:23, KJV).
Certainly the wages of sin is death, but the
gift God gave you is Eternal Life, which is an attribute of divinity and therefore can only be held by an authentic and genuine Child of God.
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus,
who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the
Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death (Romans
8:1-2, KJV).
It is precisely your identity as a Child of
God through Jesus Christ that allows you to reign with full freedom, for the matter of sin was resolved
on that cross once and for all.
See how very much our Father loves
us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are! But the people
who belong to this world don’t recognize
that we are God’s children
because they don’t know him (1 John 3:1, NLT).
Position
yourself! You are a legitimate and genuine Child
of God. You are loved by your Father and you are destined
to reign over afflictions, problems, and illnesses. If you can believe the Word
of God, then for the one who believes God, EVERYTHING is possible.
For you have given him his heart’s
desire; you have withheld nothing he requested. You welcomed him with success
and prosperity; you placed a crown of purest gold on his head. He asked you to
preserve his life, and you granted his request; the days of his life stretch on
forever. Your victory gives him great honor, and you have clothed him with
splendor and majesty. You have endowed him with eternal blessings
and given him the joy of your presence. For
the king trusts
in the LORD; the unfailing love of the Most High will keep him
from stumbling (Psalm 21:2-7, NLT).
Let’s pray out loud:
Beloved
heavenly Father, how beautiful it is to know that despite afflictions,
problems, illnesses, and even my sins, in You, in Your Love, I have the Grace
to come out more than a conqueror in any circumstance. Thank You for such a
great and vast Love. Lord Jesus, because of what You did by dying and rising
again out of Love for me, You paid for all my sins and now I have been born
again as a Beloved Child of my heavenly Father. I am in this world to reign as
a legitimate Child of the Almighty God. Therefore, I take authority over my
circumstances, I submit
to God and His Word, I resist
the devil and he must flee
from me. I do not accept fear, nor depression, nor anguish, nor illness, nor
scarcity, nor poverty, nor resentment, nor disappointment, nor failure, nor
defeat. On the contrary, I, (your
name here), in all these things am more than a conqueror through the Love of my
King, Lord, and Savior, Christ Jesus. I believe and declare that I am healed of
any disease. I am free! I am prosperous! I am blessed! In the name of Jesus.
Amen.
Important Note:
How do I become a Child of God? How do I establish a relationship with the
Almighty?
Just say the following prayer
aloud, putting all your attention
and heart into what you are saying to God:
Lord Jesus, I believe that You are the Son of
God. That You came into this world, born
of the virgin Mary, to pay for all my sins, and I have
been a sinner. Therefore, today I say that I accept. I accept Your
sacrifice on the cross! I accept Your precious
Blood shed to the last drop out of love for me! I open my
heart to You and invite You in
because I want, Lord Jesus, that from today and forever You be my only and sufficient Savior, my
God, my King, and my Lord.
Thank You, Almighty God, because with this
simple prayer and profession of faith I have passed from death to Life, I have been transferred from darkness
to Your marvelous Light. Today I have been Born Again! God, now I am Your
Child! Now You are my Father! I will never be alone again! I will never live
defeated again. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
Three Recommendations:
What just happened by you recognizing Jesus Christ as the Lord and
Savior of your life, according
to God's Word, is that you have been Born Again. No longer
as an ordinary human being, subject to the law of sin and death, but now as a
legitimate and authentic Child of God, Born Again, exactly like Jesus Christ, who is now your Older Brother. Therefore,
I give you these three, very important, recommendations:
1.
Pray. Praying is talking with God. So, find a quiet
place where you can begin talking to Him about everything. Do it out loud, and you will notice
how God always responds to your heart.
2.
Read and meditate
on the Word of God. The Bible
is the Word of God, so
get a Bible and start reading and meditating on it. How do you begin? It’s very simple. Depending on the day,
look up the reading program “The
Bible in One Year” and do the corresponding readings. You can get this program at: Through The Bible In One Year (palabradehonor.org). You will notice
that the program is set up so you can print it as a booklet.
3.
In prayer with God, your Father, look for and join a
Christian church or congregation where the Word of God is taught based
on the Good News, which are
the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Do these daily readings, and by the end of one year you will have read the

January 21 Luke 16 / Genesis
27.46-28.22 / Psalm 21
Luke
16 And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had
a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods.
2 And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for
thou mayest be no longer steward.
3 Then the steward said within himself,
What shall I do? for my lord taketh
away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.
4 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
5 So he called every one of his lord's
debtors unto him, and said unto the first,
How much owest thou unto my lord?
6 And he said, An hundred measures
of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill,
and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
7 Then said he to
another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures
of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write
fourscore.
8 And the lord
commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.
9 And I say unto
you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that,
when ye fail,
they may receive
you into everlasting habitations.
10 He that is faithful
in that which is least is faithful
also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in
much.
11 If therefore
ye have not been faithful
in the unrighteous mammon, who will
commit to your trust the true riches?
12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another
man's, who shall give you that which is your own?
13 No servant
can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to
the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
14 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they
derided him.
15 And he said unto
them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which
is highly esteemed
among men is abomination in the sight of God.
16 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man
presseth into it.
17 And it is easier for heaven
and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.
18 Whosoever putteth
away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth
her that is put away from her husband
committeth adultery.
19 There was a certain
rich man, which was clothed
in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
20 And there was a certain beggar
named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate,
full of sores,
21 And desiring
to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked
his sores.
22 And it came to pass, that the beggar
died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man
also died, and was buried;
23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham
afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24 And he cried and
said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue;
for I am tormented in this
flame.
25 But Abraham
said, Son, remember
that thou in thy lifetime
receivedst thy good things,
and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art
tormented.
26 And beside all
this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither
can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father,
that thou wouldest
send him to my father's house:
28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come
into this place of torment.
29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets;
let them hear them.
30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham:
but if one went unto them from the
dead, they will repent.
31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither
will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
Genesis
46 And Rebekah said to
Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters
of Heth, such as these which are of the daughters of the land, what
good shall my life do me?
28 And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged
him, and said unto
him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
2 Arise, go to
Padanaram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's father; and take thee a wife from thence
of the daughers of Laban
thy mother's brother.
3 And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that
thou mayest be a multitude of people;
4
And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and
to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land wherein
thou art a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham.
5 And Isaac
sent away Jacob:
and he went to Padanaram
unto Laban, son of
Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother.
6 When Esau saw
that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padanaram, to take him a wife from thence;
and that as he blessed
him he gave him a charge,
saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughers of Canaan;
7 And that Jacob obeyed
his father and his mother,
and was gone to
Padanaram;
8
And Esau seeing
that the daughters
of Canaan pleased
not Isaac his
father;
9 Then went Esau
unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham's
son, the sister
of Nebajoth, to be
his wife.
10 And Jacob
went out from Beersheba, and went toward
Haran.
11 And he lighted upon a certain
place, and tarried
there all night,
because the sun was set; and
he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down
in that place to sleep.
12 And he dreamed,
and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.
13 And, behold, the
LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father,
and the God of Isaac:
the land whereon
thou liest, to thee
will I give it, and to thy seed;
14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and
to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the
families of the earth be blessed.
15 And, behold,
I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places
whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave
thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to
thee of.
16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this
place; and I knew it not.
17 And he was afraid,
and said, How dreadful is this place!
this is none other but the
house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
18 And Jacob
rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put
for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it.
19 And he called the name of that place
Bethel: but the name of that city was
called Luz at the first.
20 And Jacob
vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me
bread to eat, and raiment to put on,
21 So that I come again to my father's
house in peace;
then shall the LORD be my God:
22 And this stone, which I have set for a pillar,
shall be God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely
give the tenth unto thee.
Psalm
21 The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he
rejoice!
2 Thou hast given him his heart's
desire, and hast not withholden the request of his
lips. Selah.
3 For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown
of pure gold on his head.
4 He asked life of thee, and thou gavest
it him, even length of days for ever and ever.
5 His glory
is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty
hast thou laid upon
him.
6 For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him
exceeding glad with thy countenance.
7 For the king trusteth
in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he
shall not be moved.
8
Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.
9 Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger:
the LORD shall swallow them up in his
wrath, and the fire shall devour them.
10 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth,
and their seed from among the children of men.
11 For they intended evil against thee: they imagined
a mischievous device, which they are not able to
perform.
12 Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings
against the face of them.
13 Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.
