ALL Ministers
{which we ALL are, in a sense*Matt 28:19-20*}

For Everytime that you All

I am aware that sometimes we
wonder if anyone is listening at all,
when we Teach & Preach,
& wonder if it is doing any good at all.

GOD SAYS YES!!!

Just because we do not always,
& sometimes almost never…
“see”, or “hear-of”
the Results of the Fruits of Our Labours,
does NOT mean that there are so very few, or none!!!

A teaching I once read, explained that in
A Body 0f Water…
there are CONSTANT Undercurrents…

yet CONSTANTLY in Motion!

The comparrison here, is that,
although we may SELDOM See or Hear Of…

and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.
Amen.

Joh 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in
me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have
tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the
world.

Luk 18:1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end,
that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

1Co 9:16 For though I preach the gospel,
I have nothing to glory of:
for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me,
if I preach not the gospel!

1Co 9:24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run
all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may
obtain.

2Co 4:1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we
have received mercy, we faint not;
2Co 4:2 But have renounced the hidden things of
dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the
word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth
commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the
sight of God.
2Co 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are
lost:
2Co 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the
minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the
glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should
shine unto them.
2Co 4:5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus
the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.
2Co 4:6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out
of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of
the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus
Christ.
2Co 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels,
that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not
of us.
2Co 4:8 We are troubled on every side, yet not
distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
2Co 4:9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not
destroyed;
2Co 4:10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of
the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made
manifest in our body.
2Co 4:11 For we which live are alway delivered unto
death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be
made manifest in our mortal flesh.
2Co 4:12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
2Co 4:13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as
it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we
also believe, and therefore speak;
2Co 4:14 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord
Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present
us with you.
2Co 4:15 For all things are for your sakes, that the
abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many
redound to the glory of God.
2Co 4:16 For which cause we faint not; but though our
outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day
by day.
2Co 4:17 For our light affliction, which is but for a
moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal
weight of glory;

but at the things which are not seen: for the things which
are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen
are eternal.

season we shall reap, if we faint not.

in the Spirit,
and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication
for all saints;
Eph 6:19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me,
that I may open my mouth boldly,
to make known the mystery of the gospel,
Eph 6:20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds:
that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

2Th 3:13 But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.

life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a
good profession before many witnesses.

2Ti 2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace
that is in Christ Jesus.
2Ti 2:2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among
many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men,
who shall be able to teach others also.
2Ti 2:3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good
soldier of Jesus Christ.
2Ti 2:4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the
affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath
chosen him to be a soldier.
2Ti 2:5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he
not crowned, except he strive lawfully.

2Ti 2:12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we
deny him, he also will deny us:
2Ti 2:13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he
cannot deny himself.
2Ti 2:14 Of these things put them in remembrance,
charging them before the Lord that they strive not about
words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a
workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing
the word of truth.
2Ti 2:16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they
will increase unto more ungodliness.

2Ti 2:23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid,
knowing that they do gender strifes.
2Ti 2:24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but
be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
2Ti 2:25 In meekness instructing those that oppose
themselves; if God peradventure will give them
repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
2Ti 2:26 And that they may recover themselves out of
the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at
his will.

2Ti 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of
season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and
doctrine.
2Ti 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure
sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap
to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
2Ti 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the
truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
2Ti 4:5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions,
do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy
ministry.
2Ti 4:6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of
my departure is at hand.
2Ti 4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my
course, I have kept the faith:
2Ti 4:8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of
righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall
give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them
also that love his appearing.

Heb 10:32 But call to remembrance the former days, in
which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight
of afflictions;
Heb 10:33 Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock
both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye
became companions of them that were so used.
Heb 10:34 For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and
took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in
yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an
enduring substance.
Heb 10:35 Cast not away therefore your confidence,
which hath great recompence of reward.
Heb 10:36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye
have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
Heb 10:37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come
will come, and will not tarry.
Heb 10:38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man
draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
Heb 10:39 But we are not of them who draw back unto
perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the
soul.

Heb 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about
with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every
weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let
us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Heb 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of
our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured
the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the
right hand of the throne of God.
Heb 12:3 For consider him that endured such
contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be
wearied and faint in your minds.
Heb 12:4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving
against sin.

Heb 12:12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down,
and the feeble knees;
Heb 12:13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest
that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it
rather be healed.
Heb 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness,
without which no man shall see the Lord:

Jud 1:20 But ye, beloved,
building up yourselves on your most holy faith,
praying in the Holy Ghost,
Jud 1:21 Keep yourselves in the love of God,
looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
Jud 1:22 And of some have compassion, making a difference:
Jud 1:23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire;
hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
Jud 1:24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling,
and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory
with exceeding joy,
Jud 1:25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty,
dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

Rev 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which
thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

Watching & Warning Scriptures!_Bible Study‏

swansongsinging — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 18:31:20 +0000

This is a Bible Study covering what the Word says about:
WATCHING & WARNING!!!
It is not about what “I” think, that counts…
but What The Word SAYS!!

In the days of a deepening spiritual darkening in the land,
& an increasing obscuring & confusing of the Truth,
we should prevail upon ourselves to
investigate, & truly study exactly what
The Word Of God has to say about
WATCHING & WARNING!

I especially love this part of Isaiah 21:11, quoted below:
“WATCHMAN, what of the night? WATCHMAN, what of the night?”

May we always strive to walk as children of the Light!

{Jesus IS The Light!}

John 12:46
“I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me
should not abide in darkness.”

PRECIOUS BIBLE PROMISES

compiled by Samuel Clarke, D.D. (1675-1729)

Also, known as Clarke’s Scripture Promises.

Compiled by Samuel Clarke, D.D. (1675-1729).

An Historical Perspective of Precious
Bible Promises

Samuel Clarke (1675-1729) was the compiler of this eminent

book of Precious Bible Promises (1750). “Whereby

are given unto us Exceeding Great and Precious Promises: that by these ye might be

partakers of the Divine Nature” (2Peter 1:4). As an English

academic, theologian, and preacher, Clarke would be found mastering Isaac Newton’s

new system of the Universal Laws of Motion and translating an invaluable textbook

to introduce and promote Newton’s position (1697), defending

the Christian religion in A Discourse concerning the Being and Attributes of God,

the Obligations of Natural Religion, and the Truth and Certainly of the Christian

Revelation (1705), serving as a chaplain to Protestant

Queen Anne of England (1705), translating Isaac Newton’s Optics

(1706), expounding upon the Tri-Unity of God in his celebrated

treatise The Scripture Doctrine of the Trinity (1712),

refusing the secular post of Master of the Mint (1727) upon

the death of Sir Isaac Newton (whom he would have replaced), and accumulating ten

volumes of his own sermons (published posthumously); but, best remembered by many

Christians is his compilation of Precious Bible Promises, which shows us that

Dr. Samuel Clarke had not only a keen intellect, but a true understanding of the

evangelical “faith which worketh by love” (Galatians 5:6)

and its attendant Promises. “Let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth

and knoweth Me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness,

in the Earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD” (Jeremiah

9:24).

This book of Precious Bible Promises was once known by its 19th century readers

as Clarke’s Scripture Promises. Twenty-one years after the decease of Samuel

Clarke, Isaac Watts, the Father of English Hymnology

(1674-1748),

penned the introduction to Clarke’s Scripture Promises. In a time that already

had seen the Authorized Version of the Scriptures from the Church of England

– the King James Version of 1611–

and had produced The Pilgrim’s Progress (1675) from the Church of England’s famous dissenter,

John Bunyan (1628-1688)– who was acquainted for twelve years with the

hospitality of Bedford jail for preaching without a license– a book of Precious

Bible Promises was (and, still is needed) to encourage every True Believer in

their pursuit of holy living. “Having therefore these Promises, dearly beloved,

let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting

holiness in the fear of God” (2Corinthians 7:1). The “Notice

by Dr. Watts” affixed to the front of the Precious Bible Promises, identifies

Samuel Clarke as the “worthy author of this collection, which I [“I. Watts”]

have known with esteem and honor.” “I am a companion of all them that fear

thee, and of them that keep thy precepts” (Psalm 119:63).

Of interest, Isaac Watts, the author of over 600 hymns, was himself the son of another

dissenter from the Church of England. You will probably notice that a good number

of Clarke’s compiled Promises were gleaned from the Book of Psalms of the Old Testament,

and Watts could especially identify with their Promises, since he had himself published

the Psalms of David (1719) in which are found poetic

paraphrases of Psalm 90 (”O God, Our Help in Ages Past”) and Psalm 98 (”Joy

to the World”). “10 The days of our years are threescore

years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their

strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. 17

And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish Thou the work of

our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish Thou it” (90:10,

17).

A notable 19th century advocate of Clarke’s Scripture Promises was found in

the person of the enigmatic, English General Charles G. Gordon

(1833-1885)–

“Chinese Gordon,” the “Hero of Khartoum,” “Gordon Pasha.”

In January 1884, he had advised Lord Wolseley to distribute a copy of Clarke’s

Scripture Promises to every member of the Cabinet of Prime Minister William Gladstone

upon Gordon’s departure to handle the volatile situation of the revolting Mahdi in

the Sudan. “Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained

Promises, stopped the mouths of lions” (Hebrews 11:33).

Charles Gordon had early made his peace with Jesus Christ as a young officer in the

Royal Engineers at Pembroke (U.K.) after being pursued for Christ by his sister Augusta

and by a “very religious captain of the name of Drew.” “I will be

merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember

no more” (8:12). Gordon had distinguished himself with

conspicuous gallantry during the Crimean War (1853-1856), had

successfully quelled the Taiping Rebellion in China (1863-1864),

and had been instrumental in the suppression of the slave trade (1877-1880)

in the Sudan (south of Egypt), during which he had been a solitary man of One Book–

his pocket Bible. “Godliness is profitable unto all things, having Promise of

the life that now is, and of that which is to come” (1Timothy

4:8). Though the career of General Gordon was peppered with the intensity

of great overcoming in times of conflict, he knew times of obscurity and grievous

backsliding; but, as he once wrote to his sister Augusta, “I am glad to say

that this disease [a smallpox experienced in China] has brought me back to my Saviour,

and I trust in future to be a better Christian than I have been hitherto.” “Whom

the LORD loveth He chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom He receiveth” (Hebrews 12:6).

In the timing of God’s Providence, Gordon Pasha met

his end on the morning of January 26th 1885, two days before the British relief column

reached the newly subjugated city of Khartoum, where the unbowing Gordon had held

out to the end. “Ye shall be hated of all men for My Name’s sake: but he that

endureth to the end shall be saved” (Matthew 10:22).

Rosalind Goforth, a Canadian Christian missionary, was another who lived in 19th

century China that gave a glowing recommendation of the value of Clarke’s Scripture

Promises. She wrote of the faithfulness of God in her testimonial book, How

I Know God Answers Prayer. “They shall abundantly utter the memory of Thy

great goodness”

(Psalm 145:7). As she, her husband Jonathan,

and her four children faced the bloody onslaught of the anti-foreigner, anti-Christian

Boxer Revolt of the secret society “Harmonious Fists” of China (1900),

they were advised by the American Consul in Chefoo to flee from the city of Changte

in North Honan to the coastal seaport of Shanghai. “No weapon that is formed

against thee shall prosper” (Isaiah 54:17). On the morning

of July 8th 1900, their small party of missionaries was resting at an inn in the

small town of Hsintien, while a boisterous mob awaited them outside casting stones

and demanding their money. Rosalind wrote,

“Hints had been given us of coming danger, but that was all; none spoke of
what all felt — that we were probably going to our death. Suddenly, without the
slightest warning, I was seized with an overwhelming fear of what might be awaiting
us. It was not the fear of after death, but of probable torture, that took
such awful hold of me. I thought, ‘Can this be the Christian courage I have looked
for?’ I went by myself and prayed for victory, but no help came. Just then someone
called us to a room for prayer before getting into our carts. Scarcely able to walk
for trembling, and utterly ashamed that others should see my state of panic — for
such it undoubtedly was — I managed to reach a bench beside which my husband stood.
He drew from his pocket a little book, Clarke’s Scripture Promises, and read
the verses his eyes first fell upon. They were the following:

The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall
thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.

The God of Jacob is our refuge.

Thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.

I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right
hand of my righteousness… The Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto
thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

If God be for us, who can be against us?

We may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto
me.

The effect of these words at such a time was remarkable. All realized that God was
speaking to us. Never was there a message more directly given to mortal man from
his God than that message to us. From almost the first verse my whole soul seemed
flooded with a great peace; all trace of panic vanished; and I felt God’s presence
was with us. Indeed, His presence was so real it could scarcely have been more so
had we seen a visible form.”

Needless to say, they all escaped with their lives with each able to give amazing

stories of physical deliverance from innumerable attempts to kill, injure, or maim

them. “Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in Whom we

trust that He will yet deliver us” (2Corinthians 1:10).

The testimony from the past serves to remind us that the same God Who Promised Abraham

that He would make him a father of a great multitude– which He did– has Promised

us, “Call unto Me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things,

which thou knowest not”

(Jeremiah 33:3). May we be like

Abraham in rising to the challenge. “20 He staggered not at the Promise of God

through unbelief; but was strong in Faith, giving Glory to God; 21 And being fully

persuaded that, what He had Promised, He was able also to perform” (Romans

4:20-21).

May God bless you as you lay hold of His Promises!

“Thy Counsels of old are Faithfulness and Truth”
(Isaiah
25:1).

November 15th 2003

Notice by Dr. Isaac Watts (1674-1748)

The Bible is a book of such transcendent worth, and so happily suited to all the
parts and purposes of the Christian life, that it can never be too much recommended
to the world; every thing that allures the world to peruse it, is a blessing to mankind.
And though it is hard for our narrow capacities to grasp and take in its several
distinguishing excellences at one view, yet, if we take a separate survey of the
doctrines and duties, the promises and threatenings, the prophecies and histories,
which are contained therein, each of them will afford us an awful or a delightful
prospect, with lessons for special improvement.

The worthy author of this collection, which I have long known with esteem and honor,
has chosen to reduce all the most useful and important promises of the Word of God
into order, and here set them before us. These are the most powerful motives of duty;
these are the constant food of a living Christian, as well as his highest cordials
in a fainting hour. And in such a world as this, where duties perpetually demand
our practice, and difficulties and trials are ever surrounding us, what can we do
better than to treasure up the promises in our hearts, which are the most effectual
persuasives to fulfil the one and sustain the other? Here are laid up the true riches
of a Christian, and his highest hopes on this side of heaven.

The materials which are collected here are all divine, and the disposition of them
is elegant and regular; so that it is an easy matter to find something suited to
the frame of our souls, or our present wants on every occasion; and that soul who
knows what a suitable promise is worth in an hour of darkness or temptation, will
never think such a work as this, and such a various treasure, can have sufficient
value set upon it.

Those who have little leisure for reading, may find their account in keeping this
book always near them; and with the glance of an eye they may take in the riches
of grace and glory, and derive many a sweet refreshment from hence, amidst their
labors and travels through this wilderness. It is of excellent use to lie on the
table in a chamber of sickness, and now and then to take a sip of the river of life,
which runs through it in a thousand little rills of peace and joy.

May the Holy Spirit of God, who indited all these promises, and our blessed Mediator,
who, by his ministry and by his blood, has sealed and confirmed them all, render
them every day more and more powerful and prevalent to draw the hearts of men towards
God, and to fit them for the enjoyment of these words of grace in their complete
accomplishment in glory. Amen.

I. Watts Newington, Jan. 19, 1750

received THE MARK OF THE BEAST, and them that WORSHIPPED his image.
These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

Rev 20:2

Rev 20:3

seal upon him, that he should DECEIVE the nations no more, till the
thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a
little season.

Rev 20:4
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon
them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them
that were beheaded for the WITNESS OF JESUS, and for the WORD OF GOD,
and which had NOT WORSHIPPED the beast, neither his image, neither had
received HIS MARK upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they
lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

Rev 20:7
And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

Rev 20:8
And shall go out to DECEIVE the nations which are in the four
quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to
battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

Rev 20:10
And
the devil that DECEIVED them was cast into the lake of fire and
brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be
tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Rev 14:6
And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the
everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to
every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,

Rev 14:7
Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour
of his judgment is come: and WORSHIP him that made heaven, and earth,
and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

Rev 15:1
And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven
angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the
wrath of God.

Rev 15:2
And I saw as it were a sea of glass
mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast,
and over his image, and over HIS MARK, and over the number of his name,
stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.

Rev 15:3
And
they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the
Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty;
just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.

Rev 15:4
Who shall
not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy:
for all nations shall come and WORSHIP before thee; for thy judgments
are made manifest.
