Pathways to Peace and Blessing
Pathways to Peace and Blessing
Phil 4:4-9 (KJV)
Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I
say, Rejoice.
{5} Let your moderation be known
unto all men.
The Lord is at hand.
{6} Be (anxious) for nothing;
but in every thing by prayer and supplication
with thanksgiving
let your requests be made known
unto God.
{7} And the peace of God, which passeth
all understanding,
shall keep your hearts and minds
through Christ Jesus.
{8} Finally, brethren, whatsoever things
are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever
things are pure,
whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever
things are of good report;
if there be any virtue, and if there be
any praise,
think on these things.
{9} Those things, which ye have both learned,
and received,
and heard, and seen in me,
do(them):
and the God of peace shall be with you.

Mat 5:10-16 (KJV)
Blessed are they which are persecuted
for righteousness' sake:
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
{11} Blessed are ye, when men shall revile
you, and persecute you,
and shall say all manner of evil against
you falsely, for my sake.
{12} Rejoice, and be exceeding glad:
for great is your reward in heaven:
for so persecuted they the prophets which
were before you.
{13} Ye are the salt of the earth:
but if the salt have lost his savour,
wherewith shall it be salted?
it is thenceforth good for nothing,
but to be cast out, and to be trodden
under foot of men.
{14} Ye are the light of the world.
A city that is set on an hill cannot be
hid.
{15} Neither do men light a candle,
and put it under a bushel,
but on a candlestick;
and it giveth light unto all that are
in the house.
{16} Let your light so shine before men,
that they may see your good works,
and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Phil 4:11-13 (KJV)
Not that I speak in respect of want:
for I have learned, in whatsoever state
I am, therewith to be content.
{12} I know both how to be abased, and
I know how to abound:
every where and in all things I am instructed
both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
{13} I can do all things through Christ
which strengtheneth me.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 Tim 1:6b-10 (TLB)
....I want to remind you to stir into
flame the strength and boldness that is in you, that entered into you when
I laid my hands upon your head and blessed you.
{7} For the Holy Spirit, God's gift, does
not want you to be afraid of people,
but to be wise and strong, and to love
them and enjoy being with them.
{8} If you will stir up this inner power,
you will never be afraid to tell
others about our Lord
or to let them know that I am your friend
even though I am here in jail for Christ's
sake.
You will be ready to suffer with me for
the Lord,
for he will give you strength in suffering.
{9} It is he who saved us and chose us
for his holy work
not because we deserved it
but because that was his plan long before
the world began--
to show his love and kindness to us through
Christ.
{10} And now he has made all of this plain
to us
by the coming of our Savior Jesus Christ,
who broke the power of death
and showed us the way of everlasting life
through trusting him.
