Isaiah 30:27 Behold, the Name of the LORD comes from afar, with burning anger and dense smoke. His lips are full of fury, and His tongue is like a consuming fire. Isaiah 59:19 So shall they fear The name of the LORD from the west, And His glory from the rising of the sun; When the enemy comes in, LIKE A FLOOD the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him. Zechariah 4:6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. Jer 10:6 There is none like You, O LORD; You are great, and great is Your name in might. — There is no one like our God! Love Mel

Genesis 2: Creation
Gen 2:7 The LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, & breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; & man became a living soul. Isa 42:5 Thus saith God the LORD, He that created the heavens, & stretched them out; He that spread forth the earth, & that which cometh out of it; He that giveth breath unto the people upon it, & spirit to them that walk therein. Job 33:4 The spirit of God hath made me, & the breath of the Almighty hath given me life. 1 John 4:12-13 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God remains in us, & His love is perfected in us. By this we know that we remain in Him, & He in us: He has given us of His Spirit. James 4:5 …He yearns jealously over the spirit that He has made to dwell in us. James 4:6 Praise be to the God who LOVES us, & who despite all of our grievous spiritual adultery, nevertheless gives us MORE GRACE. — Because He LOVES us, He gives us MORE GRACE!

Matthew 25: The Sheep and The Goats – Which One Are We?
From Bill—Hear the words of Jesus from Matt 25. The Sheep & the Goats: 31 “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, & all the angels with Him, He will sit on His glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, & He will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on His right & the goats on His left. 34”Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry & you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty & you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger & you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes & you clothed me, I was sick & you looked after me, I was in prison & you came to visit me.’ 37”Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry & feed you, or thirsty & give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger & invite you in, or needing clothes & clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison & go to visit you?’ 40”The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers & sisters of mine, you did for me.’ 41”Then He will say to those on His left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil & his angels.” — Lets be those on the right! Choosing to be people of heart for our Lord doing for His least! Love Mel
