Jude Sat Feb 24, 2018 12:08 am

7in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of trespasses, according to the riches of His favour,

8which He has lavished on us in all wisdom and insight,

9having made known to us the secret of His desire, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Him,

10to administer at the completion of time, to gather together in one all in Messiah, both which are in the heavens and which are on earth, in Him,

11in whom also we did obtain an inheritance, being previously ordained according to the purpose of Him working all matters according to the counsel of His desire,

12for us to be the praise of His esteem – those having first trusted in Messiah, EPHESIANS 1:7-12 Institute for Scripture Research – ISR

7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;

9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:

10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:

11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. EPHESIANS 1:7-12 King James Version - KJV

7 [a]By whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins, according to his rich grace:

8 [b][c]Whereby he hath been abundant toward us in [d]all wisdom and understanding,

9 And hath opened unto us the [e]mystery of his will [f]according to his good pleasure, which he hath purposed in him,

10 [g]That in the dispensation of the fullness of the times, he might [h]gather together in one all things, both which are in heaven, and which are in earth, even in Christ:

11 [i]In whom also we are chosen when we were predestinated according to the purpose of him, which worketh [j]all things after the counsel of his own will,

12 That we, which [k]first trusted in Christ, should be unto the praise of his glory: EPHESIANS 1:7-12 Geneva Bible 1599 – GNV

May Yah bless and keep you ALL safely abiding under the Shadows of His Mighty Wings. If you have not yet repented, I ask that you repent immediately. Turn to our Heavenly Father through His Beloved Son Yahushua Ha Mashiach (Jesus Christ). Please consider doing this immediately, for as we know the world is soon coming to a close. It is during this time that we will need Yah's full divine protection for what is to be unveiled. I believe that it was through obedience that Noah had such great faith; this in essence was what saved him and his family from the flood. As a follower of the Holy Messiah (born again Believer; a former Roman Catholic of 46+ years) there is so much to gain in doing so. My soul is richly blessed by the gems of truth revealed to me by my beloved Heavenly Father, Abba, and I have no regrets repenting of my past ways. Blessings! ~ Judy Velez

THE PSALMS

1O Elohim, why do You forever reject us? Why does Your displeasure smoke Against the sheep of Your pasture?

2Remember Your congregation. You did purchase of old, The tribe of Your inheritance. You did redeem, This Mount Tsiyon where You have dwelt.

3Lift up Your steps to the endless ruins; The enemy has done all evil in the set-apart placea.

4Your adversaries have roared In the midst of Your meeting places; They have set up their own signs as signs.

5It seems as if one had lifted up Axes among the thick trees.

6And now all its carved work, They have broken down with axe and hammer.

7They have set fire to Your set-apart place, They have profaned the dwelling place of Your Name to the ground.

8They said in their hearts, “Let us suppress them altogether.” They burned all the meeting places of Ěl in the land.

9We do not see our signs, There is no longer a prophet, Nor any among us who knows how long.

10O Elohim, how long would the adversary reproach? Would the enemy despise Your Name forevera?

11Why do You hold back Your hand, even Your right hand? From the midst of Your bosom – end it!

12For Elohim is my Sovereign from of old, Working deliverance in the midst of the earth.

13You divided the sea by Your might; You broke the heads of the sea serpents in the waters.

14You broke the heads of Liwiathan in pieces, You made him food for the people Living in the wilderness.

15You did cleave open the fountain and the flood, You did dry up mighty rivers.

16The day is Yours, the night is Yours too, You have established the light and the sun.

17You have set all the borders of the earth, You have made summer and winter.

18Remember this: the enemy has reproached יהוה, And a foolish people has despised Your Namea.

19Do not give the being of Your turtledove to the wild beast! Do not forget the life of Your afflicted ones forever.

20Look to the covenant, For the dark places of the earth are filled With haunts of violence.

21Let not the crushed one return ashamed! Let the poor and needy praise Your Name.

22Arise, O Elohim, plead Your own cause, Remember how the foolish man reproaches You daily.

23Do not forget the voice of Your enemies, The uproar of those rising up against You increases continually. PSALM 74 Institute for Scripture Research – ISR
