</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>GENESIS Chapter 1,  verses 1- 25, 27, 31<br />
</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em> </em>1 In the beginning God created   the heaven and the earth. 			 		 			 			2 				And the earth was  without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved  upon the face of the waters. 			 		 			 			3 				And God said , Let there be  light: and there was light. 			 		 			 			4 				And God saw   the light, that it was good: and God divided   the light from the darkness. 			 		 			 			5 				And God called  the light Day, and the darkness he called  Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. 			 		 			 			6 				And God said , Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide  the waters from the waters. 			 		 			 			7 				And God made  the firmament, and divided  the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. 			 		 			 			8 				And God called  the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. 			 		 			 			9 				And God said , Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together  unto one place, and let the dry land appear : and it was so. 			 		 			 			10 				And God called  the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called  he Seas: and God saw  that it was good. 			 		 			 			11 				And God said , Let the earth bring forth  grass,<a name="c"></a> the herb yielding  seed, and the fruit tree yielding  fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. 			 		 			 			12 				And the earth brought forth  grass, and herb yielding  seed after his kind, and the tree yielding  fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw  that it was good. 			 		 			 			13 				And the evening and the morning were the third day. 			 		 			 			14 				And God said , Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide  the day<a name="d"></a> from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: 			 		 			 			15 				And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light  upon the earth: and it was so. 			 		 			 			16 				And God made  two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. 			 		 			 			17 				And God set  them in the firmament of the heaven to give light  upon the earth, 			 		 			 			18 				And to rule  over the day and over the night, and to divide  the light from the darkness: and God saw  that it was good. 			 		 			 			19 				And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. 			 		 			 			20 				And God said , Let the waters bring forth abundantly  the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly  above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. 			 		 			 			21 				And God created  great whales, and every living creature that moveth , which the waters brought forth abundantly , after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw  that it was good. 			 		 			 			22 				And God blessed  them, saying , Be fruitful , and multiply , and fill  the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply  in the earth. 			 		 			 			23 				And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. 			 		 			 			24 				And God said , Let the earth bring forth  the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. 			 		 			 			25 				And God made  the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw  that it was good.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">27 				So God created  man in his own image, in the image of God created  he him; male and female created  he them.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">31 				And God saw  every thing that he had made , and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>GENESIS Chapter 2 verses  2, 3, 7, 19<br />
</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">2 By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. 3 				And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">7 the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">19Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><strong>GENESIS Chapter 6 verses 19 &amp; 20<br />
</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">19 You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you. 20 				Two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><strong>GENESIS Chapter 8 verse 22<br />
</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><strong>GENESIS Chapter 9 verses 9 &#8211; 13<br />
</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">9&#8243;I now establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you 			 		 			 			10 and with every living creature that was with you&#8211;the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you&#8211;every living creature on earth.  		 			 			11 				I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.&#8221; 			 		 			 			12 				And God said, &#8220;This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: 13 				I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><strong>EXODUS Chapter 7 verse 18<br />
</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">And the fish that is in the river shall die , and the river shall stink ; and the Egyptians shall loathe  to drink  of the water of the river.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>EXODUS Chapter 20 verse 11<br />
</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">For in six days the LORD made  heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested  the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed  the sabbath day, and hallowed  it.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><strong>EXODUS Chapter 23 verse 12<br />
</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Six days thou shalt do  thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest : that thine ox and thine ass may rest , and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><strong>LEVITICUS Chapter 18 verses 25 &#8211; 28<br />
</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">25 And the land is defiled : therefore I do visit  the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out  her inhabitants . 			 		 			 			26 				Ye shall therefore keep  my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit  any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth  among you: 			 		 			 			27 				(For all these abominations have the men of the land done , which were before you, and the land is defiled 28 				That the land spew not you out  also, when ye defile  it, as it spewed out  the nations that were before you.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><strong>LEVITICUS Chapter 25 verses 3-5, 23, 24<br />
</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">3 Six years thou shalt sow  thy field, and six years thou shalt prune  thy vineyard, and gather  in the fruit thereof; 			 		 			 			4 				But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the LORD: thou shalt neither sow  thy field, nor prune  thy vineyard. 			 		 			 			5 				That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap , neither gather  the grapes of thy vine undressed: for it is a year of rest unto the land.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">23 The land shall not be sold  for ever:<a name="c"></a> for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me. 			 		 			 			24 				And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant  a redemption for the land.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><strong>LEVITICUS Chapter 26 verses 3 &amp; 4</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">3 If ye walk  in my statutes, and keep  my commandments, and do  them; 			 		 			 			4 				Then I will give  you rain in due season, and the land shall yield  her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield  their fruit.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><strong>NUMBERS Chapter 24 verses 6 &amp; 7</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">6 As the valleys are they spread forth , as gardens by the river&#8217;s side, as the trees of lign aloes which the LORD hath planted , and as cedar trees beside the waters. 			 		 			 			7 				He shall pour  the water out  of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters, and his king shall be higher  than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>NUMBERS Chapter 35 verses 33 &amp; 34</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">33 So ye shall not pollute  the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth  the land: and the land cannot be cleansed  of the blood that is shed  therein, but by the blood of him that shed  it. 			 		 			 			34 				Defile  not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit , wherein I dwell : for I the LORD dwell  among the children of Israel.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>DEUTERONOMY  Chapter 5 verse 14<br />
</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do  any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest  as well as thou.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>DEUTERONOMY</em></strong> <em><strong>Chapter 20 verse 19</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">When thou shalt besiege  a city a long time, in making war  against it to take  it, thou shalt not destroy  the trees thereof by forcing  an axe against them: for thou mayest eat  of them, and thou shalt not cut them down  (for the tree of the field is man&#8217;s life) to employ  them in the siege.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><strong>DEUTERONOMY Chapter 30 verses 15 &#8211; 20</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">15 See , I have set  before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; 			 		 			 			16 				In that I command  thee this day to love  the LORD thy God, to walk  in his ways, and to keep  his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live  and multiply : and the LORD thy God shall bless  thee in the land whither thou goest  to possess  it. 			 		 			 			17 				But if thine heart turn away , so that thou wilt not hear , but shalt be drawn away , and worship  other gods, and serve  them; 			 		 			 			18 				I denounce  unto you this day, that ye shall surely  perish , and that ye shall not prolong  your days upon the land, whither thou passest over  Jordan to go  to possess  it. 			 		 			 			19 				I call  heaven and earth to record  this day against you, that I have set  before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose  life, that both thou and thy seed may live : 			 		 			 			20 				That thou mayest love  the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey  his voice, and that thou mayest cleave  unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell  in the land which the LORD sware  unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give  them.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>1 CHRONICLES </em></strong><em><strong>Chapter 29 verse 11</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted  as head above all.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>2 CHRONICLES </em><em>Chapter 7 verses 13 &amp; 14</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">13 I shut up  heaven that there be no rain, or if I command  the locusts to devour  the land, or if I send  pestilence among my people; 			 		 			 			14 				If my people, which are called  by my name, shall humble  themselves, and pray , and seek  my face, and turn  from their wicked ways; then will I hear  from heaven, and will forgive  their sin, and will heal  their land.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>NEHEMIAH Chapter 9 verse 6</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">6 Thou, even thou, art LORD alone; thou hast made  heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest  them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth  thee.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>JOB Chapter 12 verse 10</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">10 In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><strong>JOB Chapter 26 verses 7-9, 11 &#8211; 14</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">7 He stretcheth out  the north over the empty place, and hangeth  the earth upon nothing. 			 		 			 			8 				He bindeth up  the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent  under them. 			 		 			 			9 				He holdeth back  the face of his throne, and spreadeth  his cloud upon it.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">11 The pillars of heaven tremble  and are astonished  at his reproof. 			 		 			 			12 				He divideth  the sea with his power, and by his understanding   he smiteth  through the proud. 13 				By his spirit he hath garnished  the heavens; his hand hath formed  the crooked serpent. 			 		 			 			14 				Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard  of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><strong>JOB Chapter 33 verse 4</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">4 The Spirit of God hath made  me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>JOB Chapter 37 verses 10 &#8211; 13</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">10 By the breath of God frost is given : and the breadth of the waters is straitened. 			 		 			 			11 				Also by watering he wearieth  the thick cloud: he scattereth  his bright cloud: 			 		 			 			12 				And it is turned  round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth  them upon the face of the world in the earth. 			 		 			 			13 				He causeth it to come , whether for correction,<a name="d"></a> or for his land, or for mercy.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><strong>JOB Chapter 38 verses 1 &#8211; 41</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">1 Then the LORD answered  Job out of the whirlwind, and said , 			 		 			 			2 				Who is this that darkeneth  counsel by words without knowledge? 			 		 			 			3 				Gird up  now thy loins like a man; for I will demand  of thee, and answer<a name="a"></a> thou me. 			 		 			 			4 				Where wast thou when I laid the foundations  of the earth? declare , if thou hast<a name="b"></a> understanding. 			 		 			 			5 				Who hath laid  the measures thereof, if thou knowest ? or who hath stretched  the line upon it? 			 		 			 			6 				Whereupon are the foundations<a name="c"></a> thereof fastened ? or who laid  the corner stone thereof; 			 		 			 			7 				When the morning stars sang  together, and all the sons of God shouted  for joy? 			 		 			 			8 				Or who shut up  the sea with doors, when it brake forth , as if it had issued out  of the womb? 			 		 			 			9 				When I made  the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddling band for it, 			 		 			 			10 				And brake up  for it my decreed place, and set  bars and doors, 			 		 			 			11 				And said , Hitherto shalt thou come , but no further : and here shall thy proud waves be stayed ? 			 		 			 			12 				Hast thou commanded  the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know  his place; 			 		 			 			13 				That it might take hold  of the ends<a name="d"></a> of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out  of it? 			 		 			 			14 				It is turned  as clay to the seal; and they stand  as a garment. 			 		 			 			15 				And from the wicked their light is withholden , and the high  arm shall be broken . 			 		 			 			16 				Hast thou entered  into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked  in the search of the depth? 			 		 			 			17 				Have the gates of death been opened  unto thee? or hast thou seen  the doors of the shadow of death? 			 		 			 			18 				Hast thou perceived  the breadth of the earth? declare  if thou knowest  it all. 			 		 			 			19 				Where is the way where light dwelleth ? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof, 			 		 			 			20 				That thou shouldest take  it to the bound<a name="e"></a> thereof, and that thou shouldest know  the paths to the house thereof? 			 		 			 			21 				Knowest  thou it, because thou wast then born ? or because the number of thy days is great? 			 		 			 			22 				Hast thou entered  into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen  the treasures of the hail, 			 		 			 			23 				Which I have reserved  against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war? 			 		 			 			24 				By what way is the light parted , which scattereth  the east wind upon the earth? 			 		 			 			25 				Who hath divided  a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder; 			 		 			 			26 				To cause it to rain  on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man; 			 		 			 			27 				To satisfy  the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth ? 			 		 			 			28 				Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten  the drops of dew? 			 		 			 			29 				Out of whose womb came  the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered  it? 			 		 			 			30 				The waters are hid  as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen . 			 		 			 			31 				Canst thou bind  the sweet influences of Pleiades,<a name="f"></a> or loose  the bands of Orion? 			 		 			 			32 				Canst thou bring forth  Mazzaroth<a name="g"></a> in his season? or canst thou guide  Arcturus with his sons? 			 		 			 			33 				Knowest  thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set  the dominion thereof in the earth? 			 		 			 			34 				Canst thou lift up  thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover  thee? 			 		 			 			35 				Canst thou send  lightnings, that they may go , and say  unto thee, Here we are? 			 		 			 			36 				Who hath put  wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given  understanding to the heart? 			 		 			 			37 				Who can number  the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay<a name="h"></a> the bottles of heaven, 			 		 			 			38 				When the dust groweth<a name="i"></a> into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together ? 			 		 			 			39 				Wilt thou hunt  the prey for the lion? or fill  the appetite<a name="j"></a> of the young lions, 			 		 			 			40 				When they couch  in their dens, and abide  in the covert to lie in wait? 			 		 			 			41 				Who provideth  for the raven his food? when his young ones cry  unto God, they wander  for lack of meat.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><strong>PSALM Chapter 1 verse 3</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">3 And he shall be like a tree planted  by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth  his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither ;<a name="b"></a> and whatsoever he doeth  shall prosper</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>PSALM Chapter 8 verses 3 &#8211; 8</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">3 When I consider  thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained ; 			 		 			 			4 				What is man, that thou art mindful  of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest  him? 			 		 			 			5 				For thou hast made him a little lower  than the angels, and hast crowned  him with glory and honour. 			 		 			 			6 				Thou madest him to have dominion  over the works of thy hands; thou hast put  all things under his feet: 			 		 			 			7 				All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; 			 		 			 			8 				The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through  the paths of the seas.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><strong>PSALM Chapter 19 verses 1 &#8211; 6</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">1 The heavens declare  the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his  handywork . 			 		 			 			2 				Day unto day uttereth  speech, and night unto night sheweth  knowledge. 			 		 			 			3 				There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard . 			 		 			 			4 				Their line<a name="a"></a> is gone out  through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set  a tabernacle for the sun, 			 		 			 			5 				Which is as a bridegroom coming out  of his chamber, and rejoiceth  as a strong man to run  a race. 			 		 			 			6 				His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid  from the heat thereof.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>PSALM Chapter 23 verses 1 &#8211; 3</em></strong></p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><em><strong>MATTHEW Chapter 5 verses 1 &#8211; 16</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">And seeing  the multitudes, he went up  into a mountain: and when he was set , his disciples came  unto him: 			 		 			 			2 				And he opened  his mouth, and taught  them, saying , 			 		 			 			3 				Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is  the kingdom of heaven. 			 		 			 			4 				Blessed are they that mourn : for they shall be comforted . 			 		 			 			5 				Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit  the earth. 			 		 			 			6 				Blessed are they which do hunger  and thirst  after righteousness: for they shall be filled . 			 		 			 			7 				Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy . 			 		 			 			8 				Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see  God. 			 		 			 			9 				Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called  the children of God. 			 		 			 			10 				Blessed are they which are persecuted  for righteousness&#8217; 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 ,<a name="a"></a> 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.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><strong>MATTHEW Chapter 6 verses 26 &#8211; 29</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">26 Behold   the fowls of the air: for they sow  not, neither do they reap , nor gather  into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth  them. Are  ye not much better than  they? 			 		 			 			27 				Which of you by taking thought  can  add  one cubit unto his stature? 			 		 			 			28 				And why take ye thought  for raiment? Consider  the lilies of the field, how they grow ; they toil  not, neither do they spin : 			 		 			 			29 				And yet I say  unto you, That even  Solomon in all his glory was  not arrayed  like one of these</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><strong>MATTHEW Chapter 7 verses 12-20 &amp; 24-27</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would  that men should do  to you, do  ye even so to them: for this is  the law and the prophets. 			 		 			 			13 				Enter ye in  at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth  to destruction, and many there be  which go in  thereat  : 			 		 			 			14 				Because strait is the gate, and narrow  is the way, which leadeth  unto life, and few there be  that find  it. 			 		 			 			15 				Beware   of false prophets, which come  to you in sheep&#8217;s clothing, but inwardly they are  ravening wolves. 			 		 			 			16 				Ye shall know  them by their fruits . Do men gather  grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 			 		 			 			17 				Even so every good tree bringeth forth  good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth  evil fruit. 			 		 			 			18 				A good tree cannot   bring forth  evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth  good fruit. 			 		 			 			19 				Every tree that bringeth  not forth  good fruit is hewn down , and cast  into the fire. 			 		 			 			20 				Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know  them.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">24 Therefore whosoever   heareth  these sayings of mine, and doeth  them, I will liken  him unto a wise man, which built  his house upon a rock: 			 		 			 			25 				And the rain descended , and the floods came , and the winds blew , and beat upon  that house; and it fell  not: for it was founded  upon a rock. 			 		 			 			26 				And every one that heareth  these sayings of mine, and doeth  them not, shall be likened  unto a foolish man, which built  his house upon the sand: 			 		 			 			27 				And the rain descended , and the floods came , and the winds blew , and beat upon  that house; and it fell : and great was  the fall of it.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>LUKE</em></strong><em><strong> Chapter 12 verses 6 &amp; 27 </strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">6 Are  not five sparrows sold  for two farthings, and not one of them is  forgotten  before God?</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">27 Consider  the lilies how they grow : they toil  not, they spin  not; and yet I say  unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was  not arrayed  like one of these</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><strong>JOHN Chapter 1 verses 1-5</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">1 In the beginning was  the Word, and the Word was  with God, and the Word was  God. 			 		 			 			2 				The same was  in the beginning with God. 			 		 			 			3 				All things were made  by him; and without him was  not any thing made  that was made . 			 		 			 			4 				In him was  life; and the life was  the light of men. 			 		 			 			5 				And the light shineth  in darkness; and the darkness comprehended<a name="a"></a> it not.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><strong>ACTS  Chapter 14 verse 17</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">17 Nevertheless he left  not himself without witness, in that he did good , and gave  us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling  our hearts with food and gladness.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><strong>ROMANS Chapter 8 verses 19-23</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth  for the manifestation of the sons of God. 			 		 			 			20 				For the creature was made subject  to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected  the same in hope, 			 		 			 			21 				Because the creature itself also shall be delivered  from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 			 		 			 			22 				For we know  that the whole creation groaneth  and travaileth in pain together  until now. 			 		 			 			23 				And not only they, but ourselves also, which have  the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan  within ourselves, waiting  for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><strong>1 CORINTHIANS Chapter 10 verse 26</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">For the earth is the Lord&#8217;s, and the fullness thereof</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>COLOSSIANS</em></strong><em><strong> Chapter </strong></em>1 verses 15-17, &amp; 20</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">15 Who is  the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 			 		 			 			16 				For by him were  all things created , that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created  by him, and for him: 			 		 			 			17 				And he is  before all things, and by him all things consist</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">20 And, having made peace  through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile  all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><strong>HEBREW Chapter 1 verses 2 &amp; 10</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">2 Hath  in these last days spoken  unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed  heir of all things, by whom also he made  the worlds</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation  of the earth; and the heavens are  the works of thine hands</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><strong>JAMES Chapter 2 verse 18</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Yea, a man may say , Thou hast  faith, and I have  works: shew  me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew  thee my faith by my works</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><strong>3 JOHN verse 11</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><strong>REVELATION Chapter 11 verse 18</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">And the nations were angry , and thy wrath is come , and the time of the dead, that they should be judged , and that thou shouldest give  reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear  thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy  them which destroy  the earth.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><strong>REVELATION Chapter 22 verses 1 &#8211; 5</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">And he shewed  me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding  out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 			 		 			 			2 				In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare  twelve manner of fruits, and yielded  her fruit every    month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 			 		 			 			3 				And there shall be  no more   curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be  in it; and his servants shall serve  him: 			 		 			 			4 				And they shall see  his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. 			 		 			 			5 				And there shall be  no night there; and they need no candle  , neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth  them light : and they shall reign  for ever and ever</p>
