people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and

For
even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity. Not because I
desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account. But I have
all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which
were sent from you, an odor of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well pleasing
to God. But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory
by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:16-19
But
the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. Therewith
bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after
the similitude of God. Out of
the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought
not so to be. Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and
bitter? Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs?
so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh. Who is a wise man and endued
with knowledge among you? Let him show out of a good conversation his works
with meekness of wisdom. James 3:8-13

sware unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that
thou shalt keep this service in this month. Exodus 13:5
If
the Lord delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a
land which floweth with milk and honey. Numbers 14:8
Hear
therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and
that ye may increase mightily, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath promised
thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey. Hear, O Israel: The Lord
our God is one Lord. And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. Deuteronomy 6:3-5
For
the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of
fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills. A land of wheat, and
barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and
honey. A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not
lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou
mayest dig brass. When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the
Lord thy God for the good land which he hath given thee. Deuteronomy 8:7-10

bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Butter and honey shall he eat,
that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good. Isaiah 7:14-15
The
law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is
sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the
heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of
the Lord is clean, enduring forever: the judgments of the Lord are true and
righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much
fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is thy
servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward. Who can
understand his errors? Cleanse thou me from secret faults. Keep back thy
servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then
shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. Let
the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy
sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer. Psalms 19:7-14
How
I love thy law! It is my meditation all the day. Thou through thy commandments
hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. I have more
understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. I
understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts. I have
refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy Word. I have not departed
from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me. How sweet are thy words unto my
taste! Yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through thy precepts I get
understanding: therefore, I hate every false way. Thy Word is a lamp unto my
feet, and a light unto my path. Psalms 119:97-105
For God so loved this world that He gave His only begotton Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
God did not send His Son into this world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him would be saved.
The thief (Satan the devil) comes only for to kill, steal and destroy. But Jesus has come to give us life, and life more abundantly, until it overflows.
I urge you to come to the Cross today and receive Jesus as your Savior and Lord. He will wash away all your sins and make you as clean and white as fresh snow.
Just pray this prayer and mean it with your heart:
Dear Lord Jesus (if you are not able to call him Lord yet, then just say "Jesus")
I receive You as my Savior and Lord. I give my life over to You. I believe that You died and rose again, and that if I call on the Name of the Lord I shall be saved.
I accept you into my heart right now, and confess that You are Lord and have risen from the dead and forever live to make intercession for me.
Thank You for washing my heart pure and clean and making me whole, and for giving me peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Thank You that now I am a new creature in Christ Jesus. The old has gone and the new has come.
And there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh (carnality and sin), but walk after the Spirit. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, I believe you got born again and are now heaven bound and will be with the Lord forever and have eternal life. Your sins are now forgiven. You are accepted in the Beloved.
I would encourage you to find a good Bible based local church to help you grow in your faith, to learn the Word of God, to praise and worship Him, and to have fellowship with the saints.
Serving Christ is the best decision you will ever make.
God bless you!!!
