Philippians 1:9-11 #TPT
I continue to pray for your love to grow and increase beyond measure, bringing you into the rich revelation of spiritual insight in all things.
This will enable you to choose the most excellent way of all —becoming pure and without offense until the unveiling of Christ.
And you will be filled completely with the fruits of righteousness that are found in Jesus, the Anointed One—bringing great praise and glory to God!

Proverbs 13:12-14 #TPT
When hope’s dream seems to drag on and on, the delay can be depressing. But when at last your dream comes true, life’s sweetness will satisfy your soul.
Despise the word, will you? Then you’ll pay the price and it won’t be pretty! But the one who honors the Father’s holy instructions will be rewarded.
When the lovers of God teach you truth, a fountain of life opens up within you, and their wise instruction will deliver you from the ways of death.

Revelation 7:13-17 #TPT
Then one of the elders asked me, “Who are these in glistening white robes, and where have they come from?”
I answered, “My Lord—you must know.” Then he said to me, “They are ones who have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb and have emerged from the midst of great pressure and ordeal.
For this reason they are before the throne of God, ministering to him as priests day and night, within his cloud-filled sanctuary. And the enthroned One spreads over them his tabernacle-shelter.
Their souls will be completely satisfied. And neither the sun nor any scorching heat will affect them.
For the Lamb at the center of the throne continuously shepherds them unto life —guiding them to the everlasting fountains of the water of life. And God will wipe from their eyes every last tear!”

Matthew 5:9-12 #TPT
“How joyful you are when you make peace! For then you will be recognized as a true child of God.
“How enriched you are when persecuted for doing what is right! For then you experience the realm of heaven’s kingdom.
“How blessed you are when people insult and persecute you and speak all kinds of cruel lies about you because of your love for me!
So leap for joy—since your heavenly reward is great. For you are being rejected the same way the prophets were before you.

Proverbs 14:25-27 TPT
Speak the truth and you’ll save souls, but in the spreading of lies treachery thrives.
Confidence and strength flood the hearts of the lovers of God who live in awe of him, and their devotion provides their children with a place of shelter and security.
To worship God in wonder and awe opens a fountain of life within you, empowering you to escape death’s domain.

Luke 22:24-27 #TPT
The disciples bickered over which one of them would be considered the greatest in the kingdom.
Jesus interrupted their argument, saying, “The kings and men of authority in this world rule oppressively over their subjects, claiming that they do it for the good of the people. They are obsessed with how others see them.
But this is not your calling. You will lead by a different model. The greatest one among you will live as one called to serve others without honor. The greatest honor and authority is reserved for the one who has a servant heart.
The leaders who are served are the most important in your eyes, but in the kingdom, it is the servants who lead. Am I not here with you as one who serves?

Isaiah 49:15-17 #TPT
Yahweh responds, “But how could a loving mother forget her nursing child and not deeply love the one she bore? Even if a there is a mother who forgets her child, I could never, no never, forget you.
Can’t you see? I have carved your name on the palms of my hands! Your walls are always my concern.
Your children, your builders, are running back to you as those who ruined and destroyed you are running away.

Luke 24:44-49 #TPT
Then he said to them, “Don’t you remember the words that I spoke to you when I was still with you? I told you that I would fulfill everything written about me, including all the prophecies from the law of Moses through the Psalms and the writings of the prophets.”
He supernaturally unlocked their understanding to receive the revelation of the Scriptures,
and said to them, “Everything that has happened fulfills what the Scriptures prophesied of me. The Messiah was destined to suffer and rise from the dead on the third day.
Now you must go into all the nations and preach repentance and forgiveness of sins so that they will turn to me. Start right here in Jerusalem,
for you are my witnesses and have seen for yourselves all that has transpired.
I will send the fulfillment of the Father’s promise to you, so stay here in the city until you are clothed with the mighty power of heaven.”

1 John 4:15-19 #TPT
Those who give thanks that Jesus is the Son of God live in God, and God lives in them.
We have come into an intimate experience with God’s love, and we trust in the love he has for us. God is love! Those who are living in love are living in God, and God lives through them.
By living in God, love has been brought to its full expression in us so that we may fearlessly face the day of judgment, because all that Jesus now is, so are we in this world.
Love never brings fear, for fear is always related to punishment. But love’s perfection drives the fear of punishment far from our hearts. Whoever walks constantly afraid of punishment has not reached love’s perfection.
Our love for others is our grateful response to the love God first demonstrated to us.

Revelation 4:1-5 #TPT
Then suddenly, after I wrote down these messages, I saw a portal open into the heavenly realm, and the same trumpet-voice I heard speaking with me at the beginning said, “Ascend into this realm! I want to reveal to you what must happen after this.”
Instantly I was taken into the spirit realm, and behold—I saw a heavenly throne being set in place and someone seated upon it.
His appearance was sparkling like crystal and glowing like a carnelian gemstone. Surrounding the throne was a circle of green light, like an emerald rainbow.
Encircling the great throne were twenty-four thrones with elders in glistening white garments seated upon them, each wearing a golden crown of victory.
And pulsing from the throne were blinding flashes of lightning, crashes of thunder, and voices. And burning before the throne were seven blazing torches, which represent the seven Spirits of God.

John 14:12-14 #TPT
“I tell you this timeless truth: The person who follows me in faith, believing in me, will do the same mighty miracles that I do—even greater miracles than these because I go to be with my Father! For I will do whatever you ask me to do when you ask me in my name. And that is how the Son will show what the Father is really like and bring glory to him.
Ask me anything in my name, and I will do it for you!”

1 Corinthians 10:1-5 #TPT
My dear fellow believers, you need to understand that all of our Jewish ancestors who walked through a wilderness long ago were under the glory cloud and passed through the waters of the sea on both sides.
They were all baptized into the cloud of glory, into the fellowship of Moses, and into the sea.
They all ate the same heavenly manna
and drank water from the same spiritual rock that traveled with them—and that Rock was Christ himself.
Yet God was not pleased with most of them, and their dead bodies were scattered around the wilderness.

Proverbs 4:5-9 #TPT
So make wisdom your quest — search for the revelation of life’s meaning. Don’t let what I say go in one ear and out the other.
Stick with wisdom and she will stick to you, protecting you throughout your days. She will rescue all those who passionately listen to her voice.
Wisdom is the most valuable commodity—so buy it! Revelation-knowledge is what you need—so invest in it!
Wisdom will exalt you when you exalt her truth. She will lead you to honor and favor when you live your life by her insights.
You will be adorned with beauty and grace, and wisdom’s glory will wrap itself around you, making you victorious in the race.
