Waymaker

[Matthew 18:18] Most certainly I tell you, whatever things you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever things you release on earth will have been released in heaven. [Matthew 18:19] Again, assuredly I tell you, that if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven. [Matthew 18:20] For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them.” [Matthew 18:21] Then Peter came and said to him, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?” [Matthew 18:22] Jesus said to him, “I don’t tell you until seven times, but, until seventy times seven.

[Isaiah 43:16] The LORD, who makes a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters, [Isaiah 43:17] who brings out the chariot and horse, the army and the mighty man (they lie down together, they shall not rise; they are extinct, they are quenched like a wick) says: [Isaiah 43:18] “Don’t remember the former things, and don’t consider the things of old. [Isaiah 43:19] Behold, I will do a new thing. It springs out now. Don’t you know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. [Isaiah 43:20] The animals of the field, the jackals and the ostriches, shall honor me, because I give water in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen, [Isaiah 43:21] the people which I formed for myself, that they might declare my praise.

[Psalms 146:5] Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD, his God, [Psalms 146:6] who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; who keeps truth forever; [Psalms 146:7] who executes justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry. The LORD frees the prisoners. [Psalms 146:8] The LORD opens the eyes of the blind. The LORD raises up those who are bowed down. The LORD loves the righteous. [Psalms 146:9] The LORD preserves the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, but he turns the way of the wicked upside down. [Psalms 146:10] The LORD will reign forever; your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD!

[Acts 4:27] “For truly, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, [Acts 4:28] to do whatever your hand and your counsel foreordained to happen. [Acts 4:29] Now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness, [Acts 4:30] while you stretch out your hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy Servant Jesus.” [Acts 4:31] When they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were gathered together. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness. [Acts 4:32] The multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul. Not one of them claimed that anything of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common. [Acts 4:33] With great power, the apostles gave their testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Great grace was on them all.

[Acts 19:9] But when some were hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the multitude, he departed from them and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus. [Acts 19:10] This continued for two years, so that all those who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks. [Acts 19:11] God worked special miracles by the hands of Paul, [Acts 19:12] so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were carried away from his body to the sick, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out. [Acts 19:13] But some of the itinerant Jews, exorcists, took on themselves to invoke over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, “We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches.” [Acts 19:14] There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.

[Ezekiel 36:23] I will sanctify my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD,” says the Lord GOD, “when I am proven holy in you before their eyes. [Ezekiel 36:24] “‘“For I will take you from among the nations and gather you out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land. [Ezekiel 36:25] I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. [Ezekiel 36:26] I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. [Ezekiel 36:27] I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes. You will keep my ordinances and do them. [Ezekiel 36:28] You will dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers. You will be my people, and I will be your God. [Ezekiel 36:29] I will save you from all your uncleanness. I will call for the grain and will multiply it, and lay no famine on you.

[Jeremiah 31:29] “In those days they will say no more, “‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge.’ [Jeremiah 31:30] But everyone will die for his own iniquity. Every man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth will be set on edge. [Jeremiah 31:31] “Behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah, [Jeremiah 31:32] not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, which covenant of mine they broke, although I was a husband to them,” says the LORD. [Jeremiah 31:33] “But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” says the LORD: “I will put my law in their inward parts, and I will write it in their heart. I will be their God, and they shall be my people. [Jeremiah 31:34] They will no longer each teach his neighbor, and every man teach his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD;’ for they will all know me, from their least to their greatest,” says the LORD, “for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.” [Jeremiah 31:35] The LORD, who gives the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, who stirs up the sea, so that its waves roar— the LORD of Armies is his name, says: [Jeremiah 31:36] “If these ordinances depart from before me,” says the LORD, “then the offspring of Israel also will cease from being a nation before me forever.”

[Revelation 7:7] of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand, of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand, of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand, [Revelation 7:8] of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand, of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand, and of the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand were sealed. [Revelation 7:9] After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no man could count, out of every nation and of all tribes, peoples, and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands. [Revelation 7:10] They cried with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation be to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” [Revelation 7:11] All the angels were standing around the throne, the elders, and the four living creatures; and they fell on their faces before his throne, and worshiped God, [Revelation 7:12] saying, “Amen! Blessing, glory, wisdom, thanksgiving, honor, power, and might, be to our God forever and ever! Amen.” [Revelation 7:13] One of the elders answered, saying to me, “These who are arrayed in the white robes, who are they, and where did they come from?” [Revelation 7:14] I told him, “My lord, you know.” He said to me, “These are those who came out of the great suffering. They washed their robes and made them white in the Lamb’s blood.

[Isaiah 61:1] The Lord GOD’s Spirit is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the humble. He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and release to those who are bound, [Isaiah 61:2] to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, [Isaiah 61:3] to provide for those who mourn in Zion, to give to them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he may be glorified. [Isaiah 61:4] They will rebuild the old ruins. They will raise up the former devastated places. They will repair the ruined cities that have been devastated for many generations. [Isaiah 61:5] Strangers will stand and feed your flocks. Foreigners will work your fields and your vineyards.

[Psalms 147:1] Praise the LORD, for it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant and fitting to praise him. [Psalms 147:2] The LORD builds up Jerusalem. He gathers together the outcasts of Israel. [Psalms 147:3] He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds. [Psalms 147:4] He counts the number of the stars. He calls them all by their names. [Psalms 147:5] Great is our Lord, and mighty in power. His understanding is infinite.

[Matthew 9:33] When the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke. The multitudes marveled, saying, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!” [Matthew 9:34] But the Pharisees said, “By the prince of the demons, he casts out demons.” [Matthew 9:35] Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people. [Matthew 9:36] But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them because they were harassed and scattered, like sheep without a shepherd. [Matthew 9:37] Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest indeed is plentiful, but the laborers are few.

[Ezekiel 36:24] “‘“For I will take you from among the nations and gather you out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land. [Ezekiel 36:25] I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. [Ezekiel 36:26] I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. [Ezekiel 36:27] I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes. You will keep my ordinances and do them. [Ezekiel 36:28] You will dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers. You will be my people, and I will be your God. [Ezekiel 36:29] I will save you from all your uncleanness. I will call for the grain and will multiply it, and lay no famine on you.

[Psalms 40:1] For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. I waited patiently for the LORD. He turned to me, and heard my cry. [Psalms 40:2] He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay. He set my feet on a rock, and gave me a firm place to stand. [Psalms 40:3] He has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God. Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD. [Psalms 40:4] Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust, and doesn’t respect the proud, nor such as turn away to lies. [Psalms 40:5] Many, LORD, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are toward us. They can’t be declared back to you. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be counted.

[Psalms 147:1] Praise the LORD, for it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant and fitting to praise him. [Psalms 147:2] The LORD builds up Jerusalem. He gathers together the outcasts of Israel. [Psalms 147:3] He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds. [Psalms 147:4] He counts the number of the stars. He calls them all by their names. [Psalms 147:5] Great is our Lord, and mighty in power. His understanding is infinite.

[Isaiah 42:1] “Behold, my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights: I have put my Spirit on him. He will bring justice to the nations. [Isaiah 42:2] He will not shout, nor raise his voice, nor cause it to be heard in the street. [Isaiah 42:3] He won’t break a bruised reed. He won’t quench a dimly burning wick. He will faithfully bring justice. [Isaiah 42:4] He will not fail nor be discouraged, until he has set justice on the earth, and the islands wait for his law.” [Isaiah 42:5] God the LORD, he who created the heavens and stretched them out, he who spread out the earth and that which comes out of it, he who gives breath to its people and spirit to those who walk in it, says: [Isaiah 42:6] “I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness. I will hold your hand. I will keep you, and make you a covenant for the people, as a light for the nations,

[Luke 4:16] He came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. He entered, as was his custom, into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. [Luke 4:17] The book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. He opened the book, and found the place where it was written, [Luke 4:18] “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the broken hearted, to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed, [Luke 4:19] and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.” [Luke 4:20] He closed the book, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him. [Luke 4:21] He began to tell them, “Today, this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”

[Isaiah 9:1] But there shall be no more gloom for her who was in anguish. In the former time, he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali; but in the latter time he has made it glorious, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations. [Isaiah 9:2] The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. The light has shined on those who lived in the land of the shadow of death. [Isaiah 9:3] You have multiplied the nation. You have increased their joy. They rejoice before you according to the joy in harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the plunder. [Isaiah 9:4] For the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, you have broken as in the day of Midian. [Isaiah 9:5] For all the armor of the armed man in the noisy battle, and the garments rolled in blood, will be for burning, fuel for the fire. [Isaiah 9:6] For a child is born to us. A son is given to us; and the government will be on his shoulders. His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. [Isaiah 9:7] Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, on David’s throne, and on his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from that time on, even forever. The zeal of the LORD of Armies will perform this. [Isaiah 9:8] The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it falls on Israel. [Isaiah 9:9] All the people will know, including Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria, who say in pride and in arrogance of heart,

[Psalms 27:1] By David. The LORD is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid? [Psalms 27:2] When evildoers came at me to eat up my flesh, even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell. [Psalms 27:3] Though an army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war should rise against me, even then I will be confident. [Psalms 27:4] One thing I have asked of the LORD, that I will seek after: that I may dwell in the LORD’s house all the days of my life, to see the LORD’s beauty, and to inquire in his temple. [Psalms 27:5] For in the day of trouble, he will keep me secretly in his pavilion. In the secret place of his tabernacle, he will hide me. He will lift me up on a rock. [Psalms 27:6] Now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me. I will offer sacrifices of joy in his tent. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD. [Psalms 27:7] Hear, LORD, when I cry with my voice. Have mercy also on me, and answer me. [Psalms 27:8] When you said, “Seek my face,” my heart said to you, “I will seek your face, LORD.”

[Revelation 21:1] I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more. [Revelation 21:2] I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband. [Revelation 21:3] I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, “Behold, God’s dwelling is with people; and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. [Revelation 21:4] He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain any more. The first things have passed away.” [Revelation 21:5] He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” He said, “Write, for these words of God are faithful and true.” [Revelation 21:6] He said to me, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give freely to him who is thirsty from the spring of the water of life. [Revelation 21:7] He who overcomes, I will give him these things. I will be his God, and he will be my son.

[Isaiah 61:1] The Lord GOD’s Spirit is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the humble.

[Psalms 121:1] A Song of Ascents. I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from? [Psalms 121:2] My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth. [Psalms 121:3] He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber. [Psalms 121:4] Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. [Psalms 121:5] The LORD is your keeper. The LORD is your shade on your right hand. [Psalms 121:6] The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. [Psalms 121:7] The LORD will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul. [Psalms 121:8] The LORD will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forever more.

[Psalms 46:1] For the Chief Musician. By the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. [Psalms 46:2] Therefore we won’t be afraid, though the earth changes, though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas; [Psalms 46:3] though its waters roar and are troubled, though the mountains tremble with their swelling. Selah. [Psalms 46:4] There is a river, the streams of which make the city of God glad, the holy place of the tents of the Most High. [Psalms 46:5] God is within her. She shall not be moved. God will help her at dawn. [Psalms 46:6] The nations raged. The kingdoms were moved. He lifted his voice and the earth melted. [Psalms 46:7] The LORD of Armies is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. [Psalms 46:8] Come, see the LORD’s works, what desolations he has made on the earth. [Psalms 46:9] He makes wars cease to the end of the earth. He breaks the bow, and shatters the spear. He burns the chariots in the fire. [Psalms 46:10] “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted on the earth.” [Psalms 46:11] The LORD of Armies is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

[Habakkuk 2:1] I will stand at my watch and set myself on the ramparts, and will look out to see what he will say to me, and what I will answer concerning my complaint. [Habakkuk 2:2] The LORD answered me, “Write the vision, and make it plain on tablets, that he who runs may read it. [Habakkuk 2:3] For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hurries toward the end, and won’t prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it, because it will surely come. It won’t delay. [Habakkuk 2:4] Behold, his soul is puffed up. It is not upright in him, but the righteous will live by his faith. [Habakkuk 2:5] Yes, moreover, wine is treacherous: an arrogant man who doesn’t stay at home, who enlarges his desire as Sheol; he is like death and can’t be satisfied, but gathers to himself all nations and heaps to himself all peoples. [Habakkuk 2:6] Won’t all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, ‘Woe to him who increases that which is not his, and who enriches himself by extortion! How long?’

[2 Peter 3:6] by which means the world that existed then, being overflowed with water, perished. [2 Peter 3:7] But the heavens that exist now and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men. [2 Peter 3:8] But don’t forget this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. [2 Peter 3:9] The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that anyone should perish, but that all should come to repentance. [2 Peter 3:10] But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fervent heat; and the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. [2 Peter 3:11] Therefore, since all these things will be destroyed like this, what kind of people ought you to be in holy living and godliness,

[Ecclesiastes 3:1] For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven: [Ecclesiastes 3:2] a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; [Ecclesiastes 3:3] a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; [Ecclesiastes 3:4] a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; [Ecclesiastes 3:5] a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; [Ecclesiastes 3:6] a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; [Ecclesiastes 3:7] a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; [Ecclesiastes 3:8] a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace. [Ecclesiastes 3:9] What profit has he who works in that in which he labors? [Ecclesiastes 3:10] I have seen the burden which God has given to the sons of men to be afflicted with. [Ecclesiastes 3:11] He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in their hearts, yet so that man can’t find out the work that God has done from the beginning even to the end. [Ecclesiastes 3:12] I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice, and to do good as long as they live. [Ecclesiastes 3:13] Also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy good in all his labor, is the gift of God.

[Habakkuk 2:1] I will stand at my watch and set myself on the ramparts, and will look out to see what he will say to me, and what I will answer concerning my complaint.

[Psalms 18:28] For you will light my lamp, LORD. My God will light up my darkness. [Psalms 18:29] For by you, I advance through a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall. [Psalms 18:30] As for God, his way is perfect. The LORD’s word is tried. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him. [Psalms 18:31] For who is God, except the LORD? Who is a rock, besides our God, [Psalms 18:32] the God who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect? [Psalms 18:33] He makes my feet like deer’s feet, and sets me on my high places. [Psalms 18:34] He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.

[2 Peter 3:6] by which means the world that existed then, being overflowed with water, perished.

[2 Corinthians 5:12] For we are not commending ourselves to you again, but speak as giving you occasion of boasting on our behalf, that you may have something to answer those who boast in appearance and not in heart.

[2 Corinthians 5:16] Therefore we know no one according to the flesh from now on. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him so no more. [2 Corinthians 5:17] Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.
