05.15 Evening:

Raised . . . up together, . . . in Christ Jesus.

Fear not; . . . I am He that liveth.―Father, I will that they also, Whom Thou hast given Me, be with Me where I am.

We are members of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones.―He is the Head of the body, the church: Who is the Beginning, the Firstborn from the dead.―Ye are complete in Him, which is the Head.

Forasmuch . . . as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; and deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

This corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in Victory.

05.15 Evening:

(Ephesians 2:6)And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

(Revelation 1:17,18)And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. And He laid His right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the First and the Last: I am He that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.--(John 17:24)Father, I will that they also, whom Thou hast given Me, be with Me where I am; that they may behold My glory, which Thou hast given Me: for Thou lovedst Me before the foundation of the world.

(Ephesians 5:30)For we are members of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones.--(Colossians 1:18)And He is the Head of the body, the church: Who is the Beginning, the Firstborn from the dead; that in all things He might have the preeminence.--(Colossians 2:10)And ye are complete in Him, which is the Head of all principality and power:

(Hebrews 2:14,15)Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; and deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

(I Corinthians 15:53,54)For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

The Lord is gracious

The Lord is gracious,
and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.
(Psalm 145:8)

The Word for the YEAR--
Romans 8:35-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For Thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.


The Word for the month--
Psalm 107:8,9 Oh that men would praise the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! For He satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.


The Word for the day--
Psalm 145:13-16 Thy Kingdom is an Everlasting Kingdom, and Thy dominion endureth throughout all generations. The Lord upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down. The eyes of all wait upon Thee; and Thou givest them their meat in due season. Thou openest Thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.

05.15 Morning:

God shall wipe away all tears; . . . there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, . . . for the former things are passed away.

He will swallow up death in Victory; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of His people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it.―Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the Lord shall be thine Everlasting Light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.―The inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.―The voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.―Sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction.―The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.―Then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in Victory.

The things which are not seen are Eternal.
