I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep
(Psalms
4.1,8)
A
Psalm of David.
1 Hear
me when I call, O God of my righteousness:
thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me,
and hear my prayer.
8 I
will both lay me down in peace, and sleep:
for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety.

covet the best gifts
1
Corinthians 12
28 And God hath set some in the church, first
apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, (Eph. 4.11) after that
miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are
all workers of miracles?
30 have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
31 But covet earnestly the best gifts. And yet show I unto you a more excellent way.

the richer our Savior’s saving, healing blood!
No
one is hopeless or lost! ALL who believe
and have faith in Jesus will be saved!
The viler the sinner, the richer our Savior’s saving, healing blood! Thank you Jesus! Oh, The Blood of Jesus!

watch and pray
(Mark
13.33-37)
33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
34 For the Son of man is as a man taking
a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to
everyone their work, and commanded the porter to watch. (Lk. 12.36-38)
35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house
cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
36 lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
37 And what I say unto you I say unto ALL,
Watch.

Parable of the Pharisee and the Publican
(Luke
18.9-14)
The Parable of the Pharisee and the Publican
9 And he spake this parable unto certain which
trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the
one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with
himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are,
extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of
all that I possess.
13 And the publican, standing afar off, would
not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast,
saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house
justified rather than the other: for
every one that exalteth them self shall be abased; and they that humbleth them
self shall be exalted. (Mt. 23.12; Lk. 14.11)

the Holy Ghost
(Acts 2.1-47)
The Coming of the Holy Ghost
1 And when the day of
Pentecost (Lev. 23.15-21; Deut. 16.9-11) was fully come, they were ALL with one
accord in one place.
2 And suddenly there came a
sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled ALL the house
where they were sitting.
3 And there appeared unto
them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4 And they were ALL
filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the
Spirit gave them utterance.
5 And there were dwelling at
Jerusalem Jews, devout people, out of every nation under heaven.
6 Now when this was noised
abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that everyone
heard them speak in their own language.
7 And they were ALL amazed
and marveled, saying one to another, Behold, are not ALL these which speak
Galileans?
8 And how hear we everyone in
our own tongue, wherein we were born?
9 Par'thi-ans, and Medes,
and E'lamites, and the dwellers in Mesopota'mi-a, and in Judea, and
Cappado'cia, in Pontus, and Asia,
10 Phryg'i-a, and
Pamphyl'i-a, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyre'ne, and strangers
of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
11 Cretes and Arabians, we do
hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.
12 And they were ALL amazed,
and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?
13 Others mocking said, They are
full of new wine.
Peter's Address at Pentecost
14 But Peter, standing up
with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye people of Judea,
and ALL ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken
to my words:
15 for these are not drunken,
as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
16 But this is that which was
spoken by the prophet Joel;
17 And it shall come to pass
in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon ALL flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall
prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream
dreams:
18 and on my servants and on
my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall
prophesy:
19 and I will show wonders in
heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapor of
smoke:
20 the sun shall be turned
into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of
the Lord come:
21 and it shall come to pass,
that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Joel 2.28-32)
22 Ye men of Israel, hear
these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and
wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves
also know:
23 him, being delivered by
the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked
hands have crucified and slain: (Mt. 27.35; Mk. 15.24; Lk. 23.33; Joh. 19.18)
24 whom God hath
raised up, (Mt. 28.5,6; Mk. 16.6; Lk. 24.5) having loosed the pains of death:
because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
25 For David
speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face; for he is on
my right hand, that I should not be moved:
26 therefore did
my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in
hope:
27 because thou
wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see
corruption.
28 Thou hast made
known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy
countenance. (Ps. 16.8-11)
29 Brothers and sisters, let
me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and
buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.
30 Therefore being a prophet,
and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his
loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne; (Ps. 89.3,4, 132.11)
31 he, seeing this
before, spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in
hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
32 Therefore being
by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise
of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
34 For David is not ascended
into the heavens: but he saith himself,
The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
35 until I make thy foes thy
footstool. (Ps. 110.1)
36 Therefore let ALL the
house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have
crucified, both Lord and Christ.
37 Now when they heard this,
they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the
apostles, Brothers and sisters, what shall we do?
38 Then Peter said
unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ
for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
39 For the promise is unto
you, and to your children, and to ALL that are afar off, even as many as
the Lord our God shall call.
40 And with many other words
did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward
generation.
41 Then they that
gladly received his word were baptized:
and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand
souls.
42 And they continued
steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread,
and in prayers.
Life among the Believers
43 And fear came upon every
soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.
44 And ALL that believed were
together, and had ALL things common; (Acts 4.32-35)
45 and sold their possessions
and goods, and parted them to ALL, as everyone had need. (Mt. 19.21; Mk. 10.21; Lk. 12.33, 18.22)
46 And they,
continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house
to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
47 praising God,
and having favor with ALL the people. And
the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
