Refreshing Our Spirits With Scripture

8.20- Revelation 22. 17  The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the water of life without cost. 18  I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book; 19  and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life and [ i ] from the holy city, which are written in this book. 20  He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming quickly.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. 21  The grace of the Lord Jesus be with [ j ] all. Amen. Psalm 78. 78  Listen, O my people, to my [ b ] instruction; Incline your ears to the words of my mouth. 2  I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old, 3  Which we have heard and known, And our fathers have told us. 4...

8.19- Revelation 22. 22  Then he showed me a river of the water of life, [ a ] clear as crystal, coming from the throne of God and of [ b ] the Lamb, 2  in the middle of its street. On either side of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelve [ c ] kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3  There will no longer be any curse; and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His bond-servants will serve Him; 4  they will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads. 5  And there will no longer be any night; and they [ d ] will not have need of the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illumine them; and they will reign forever and ever. 6  And he said to me, “These words are faithful and true”; and the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent His angel to show to His bond-servants the things which must soon take place...

8.18- Revelation 21. 21  Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. 2  And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. 3  And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will [ a ] dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them [ b ] , 4  and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.” 5  And He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” And He *said, “Write, for these words are faithful and true.” 6  Then He said to me, “ [ c ] It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to the one who thirsts from the spring...

8.17- Revelation 20 20  Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding the key of the abyss and a great chain [ a ] in his hand. 2  And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; 3  and he threw him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be released for a short time. 4  Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of [ b ] their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5  The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is ...

8.16- Revelation 19. 19  After these things I heard something like a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God; 2  because His judgments are true and righteous ; for He has judged the great harlot who was corrupting the earth with her immorality, and He has avenged the blood of His bond-servants [ a ] on her .” 3  And a second time they said, “Hallelujah! Her smoke rises up forever and ever .” 4  And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sits on the throne saying, “Amen. Hallelujah!” 5  And a voice came from the throne, saying, “Give praise to our God, all you His bond-servants, you who fear Him, the small and the great.” 6  Then I heard something like the voice of a great multitude and like the sound of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, saying, “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns. ...

8.15- Luke 23. 23  Then the whole body of them got up and brought Him before Pilate. 2  And they began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this man misleading our nation and forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, and saying that He Himself is [ a ] Christ, a King.” 3  So Pilate asked Him, saying, “Are You the King of the Jews?” And He answered him and said, “ It is as you say.” 4  Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no guilt in this man.” 5  But they kept on insisting, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching all over Judea, starting from Galilee even as far as this place.” 6  When Pilate heard it, he asked whether the man was a Galilean. 7  And when he learned that He belonged to Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself also was in Jerusalem [ b ] at that time. Jesus before Herod 8  Now Herod was very glad when he saw Jesus; for he had wanted to see Him for a long time, because he had been hearing a...
