and you will be My sons and daughters.

Before the mountains were brought forth
or You formed the earth and the world,
even from everlasting to everlasting You are God.

Have we not all one Father?
Has not one God created us?

in our image,

over the birds of the air, and over the animals,
over all the earth.

and tender mercies;
and renews our youth like the eagle’s.

toward those that fear Him.
As far as the east is from the west
He removed our transgressions from us.
As a father loves His children,
the Lord loves those that fear Him.
He knows us.
He remembers that we are dust.
Man’s ways are as the grass, as the flower of the field.
The wind passes over and it is gone.
But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting
on those that fear him,
Psalm 103:14-17
The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and His ears are open to their cry.
Psalm 34:15
6
As Jesus was praying in a certain place,
when He stopped, one of his disciples said to Him,
Lord, teach us to pray,
Jesus said, When you pray, enter your closet
and close the door.
Pray to your Father
who is in secret;
and your Father who sees in secret
will reward you openly.
Don’t use empty repetitions
for your Father knows what you need
before you ask Him,
Say,
Our Father in heaven,
Holy is Your name. Your kingdom come.
Your will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
7
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into testing
but deliver us from evil:
for Yours is the kingdom, and the power,
and the glory, forever. Luke 11:2
Up to now you have asked nothing in My name:
ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.
John 16:24
No man can serve two masters,
for he will hate the one and love the other.
You can’t serve God and money.
Take no thought for your life,
what you will eat, or drink:
or your body,
8
what you will wear.
Isn’t the life more than food,
and the body than clothes?
To know Him is life eternal.
John 17:3
The body is the temple
of the Holy Spirit.
1 Corinthians 6:19
Watch the birds of the air:
they don’t sow or reap, yet your heavenly Father feeds them.
And see the lilies of the field, how they grow;
they don’t toil or spin.
Yet Solomon in all his glory
wasn’t clothed as gorgeously as one of these.
But seek first the kingdom of God
9
and His righteousness
(which is by believing what He says)
and all these things will be added to you.
My God will supply all your need
according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19
Our heavenly Father’s infinite genius
designed a plan that eliminates all envy,
all competition,
all striving for worthiness.
He gives rest from trying to be healed,
well, healthy;
rest from trying to be good enough;
rest from trying to please everyone.
He did it by making all who will
just like Himself,
10
and giving all to inherit everything.
The ones that overcome will inherit all things
and I will be their God
and they will be My sons and daughters.
Revelation 21:7

We give thanks to the Father
who has made us fit to share
the inheritance of the saints of light,
Colossians 1:11
through Jesus Christ,
who by that one sacrifice
perfected forever those that believe.

12
If you endure correction, God deals with you as with sons;
for what son doesn’t a father correct?
Our heavenly Father only corrects for our benefit
that we might share His holiness.

The God of all grace,
who has called us to His eternal glory
by Christ Jesus,
after you have suffered a little,

in the arms of its Father,
He takes care of everything.

It is always infinite, eternal,
and infinitely exquisite. R.B. Thieme jr.
The Lord your God within you
is mighty;
He will save,
He will rejoice over you
with joy;
He will rest in His love,
He will joy over you with singing.
Zephaniah 3:17
He made us His eternal royal family,
first by creating mankind
14
in His own image
and then by redeeming us
at the greatest price ever paid
by anyone for anything.
For you were not redeemed from your empty way of life
by corruptible things like silver or gold,
but with the infinitely precious blood of Christ.

that they may be made perfect in One.

filled with all the fullness of God.

In Eternal Majesty
Absolute Victory
Triumph in Christ
Now thanks be to God, who always
causes us to triumph in Christ.
2 Corinthians 2:14
And God saw everything that He had made, and, behold, it was very good. Genesis 1:31
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the animals, and over all the earth. Genesis 1:26
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life;
4
and man became a living soul. Genesis 2:7
And out of the ground the Lord God made to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life was also in the midst of the garden,
and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Genesis 2:9
And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden you may eat freely:
5
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,
do not eat,
for in the day you eat of it, dying you will die,
(you break contact with God,
who is life,
and being to decay.) Genesis 2:16,17
The serpent lied, and the woman ate:
the woman saw that the tree was good for food,
and desired to make one wise,
she took of the fruit, ate,
and gave to her husband with her and he ate.
6
And the eyes of them both were opened,
and they knew that they were naked.
They sewed fig leaves together
and made themselves aprons.
And they heard the voice of the Lord God
walking in the garden in the cool of the day:
and Adam and his wife hid themselves
from the presence of the Lord God
among the trees of the garden.
The Lord God called to Adam,
Where are you?
7
Adam said, I heard Your voice in the garden,
and I was afraid, because I was naked;
I hid myself. Genesis 3:9,10
The Lord pronounced judgments necessary
from His love
to restore man’s humility:
the sweat of your face you will eat
until you return to the ground;
for out of it you were taken.
You are dust, and to dust you will return.
‘By one man, sin entered the world,
and death by sin.
8
So death passed on all men,
for all have sinned.’
Romans 5:12
To Adam and to his wife the Lord God made coats of skins and clothed them.
Their crime against God was infinite
because He is infinite.
Their fig leaves weren’t adequate covering,
but God’s love is.
The death of the innocent lamb showed
9
the promise of His death in their place
and full restoration of all damage done by their sin.
And the Lord God said,
the man has become as one of us,
to know good and evil:
and now, so he not take also of the tree of life,
and eat, and live forever sinful,
the Lord God sent him out
from the garden of Eden,
to till the ground from where he was taken.
So he drove out the man;
10
and He placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubim, awesome four-winged beings of light,
and a flaming sword which turned every way,
to guard the way back of the tree of life.
Christ suffered once for sins,
the just for the unjust, to bring us back to God,
being put to death in the flesh,
but made alive again by the Spirit:
by Whom also He went
and preached to the spirits in prison
who were disobedient,
11
when once the long-suffering of God
waited in the days of Noah,
while the ark was being prepared,
in which eight souls were saved by water.
1 Peter 3:18-20
He proclaimed His victory over evil,
sin, and death
those in Abraham’s bosom,
paradise inside the earth,
and took all those believing souls
with Him to heaven when He ascended.
12
And told the enemy they had lost,
and maybe this was an opportunity for them also
to return to Him
for all the sin and evil was swept from existence forever
by His death,
being infinite,
it was an infinite overpayment
from His infinite love.
As far as the east is from the west
He removed our transgressions from us.
Psalm 103:12
He showed Himself alive after His resurrection
by many infallible proofs, for 40 days,
13
speaking to them of the kingdom of God.
And He told them,You will receive power:
the Holy Spirit will come upon you.
And while speaking these things He was taken up and a cloud received Him out of their sight.
The Eternal Father said,
Sit here at My right hand,
I make your enemies Your footstool.
Matthew 22:44
14
He that overcomes
will sit with Me
on My throne.
Revelation 3:21
This is the victory that overcomes,
our faith. 1 John 5:4
Faith comes by hearing the word of God.
Romans 10:17
I will come and receive you to Myself
to be with Me. John 14:3
15
Your throne, O God, is forever and ever.
Psalm 45:6
Forever
