meekness?

Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of
Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you:
Gal 5:22-25
22 But the
fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness,
faith,
23 Meekness,
temperance: against such there is no law.
24 And they
that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
25 If we live
in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
Gal 6:1-2
Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are
spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself,
lest thou also be tempted.
2 Bear ye one
another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
Eph 4:2-3
2 With all
lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
3 Endeavoring
to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Col 3:12-17
12 Put on
therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness,
humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
13 Forbearing
one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any:
even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
14 And above
all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
15 And let the
peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body;
and be ye thankful.
16 Let the
word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one
another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your
hearts to the Lord.
17 And
whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving
thanks to God and the Father by him.
1 Tim 6:10-16
10 For the
love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they
have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
11 But thou, O
man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness,
faith, love, patience, meekness.
12 Fight the
good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called,
and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
13 I give thee
charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus,
who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;
14 That thou
keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our
Lord Jesus Christ:
15 Which in
his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of
kings, and Lord of lords;
16 Who only
hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no
man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and power everlasting. Amen.
2 Tim 2:24-25
24 And the
servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach,
patient,
25 In meekness
instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them
repentance to the acknowledging of the truth.
James 1:21
21 Wherefore
lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with
meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
James 3:13-18
13 Who is a
wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good
conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
14 But if ye
have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against
the truth.
15 This wisdom
descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
16 For where
envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
17 But the
wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be
intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without
hypocrisy.
18 And the
fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
1 Peter 3:15-17
15 But
sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to
every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and
fear.
16 Having a
good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they
may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.
17 For it is
better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil
doing.
Ps 45:1-8
1 My heart is
inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the
king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
2 Thou art
fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God
hath blessed thee forever.
3 Gird thy
sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.
4 And in thy
majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and
thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
5 Thine
arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall
under thee.
6 Thy throne,
O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.
7 Thou lovest
righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed
thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
8 All thy
garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces,
whereby they have made thee glad.

in the Holy One of Israel.
Isa 61:1-3
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath
anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up
the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the
prison to them that are bound;
2 To proclaim
the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to
comfort all that mourn;
3 To appoint
unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of
joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they
might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might
be glorified.
Zeph 2:3
3 Seek ye the
Lord, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek

me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall
find rest unto your souls.
30 For my
yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Matt 21:5

daughter of Zion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon a
donkey, and a colt the foal of a donkey.
1 Peter 3:1-6
1 Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that,
if any obey not the Word, they also may without the word be won by the
conversation of the wives.
2 While they
behold your chaste conversation coupled with reverence and respect.
3 Whose adorning
let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of
gold, or of putting on of apparel;
4 But let it
be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the
ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great
price.
5 For after
this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned
themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:
6 Even as
Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye
do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.
Prayer of
Salvation
It
is God's will that no one should perish (end up in hell), but that ALL should
come to repentance.
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.
Please do not put it off for another time in the future. I urge
you to not delay. Come to the Lord today and give Him your heart and life. He
will save, and heal you and make you whole.
Please do not delay, because on this earth there are no
guarantees that a person will wake up in the morning. Also, you could be
driving on the highway and be involved in a major collision and be instantly
killed. You may be flying in a jet or aircraft and the plane crashes and
everybody is killed.
A person does not know the exact date that they will die. But
the fact is that every person will eventually taste of death (unless you are
translated to Heaven which is very rare and highly unlikely, although it could
happen for a few that is. it happened for Enoch, Elijah and
Elisha).
Come to the Cross today and do not delay. Time is of the
essence. If you should die not knowing Christ, then you would perish and end up
in hell. Eternity is a very long time. Do not play games with your salvation or
takes unnecessary risks.
Just pray this prayer and mean it with your heart:
Dear Lord 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.
Only Jesus can satisfy your soul, and only He can heal your
heart and make you whole.
He will give you peace you never knew, and sweet love and joy,
and Heaven too, for only Jesus can satisfy your soul.
God bless you!!!
