MIRACLES CAN HAPPEN TO YOU! MIRACLES CAN HAPPEN TO ME!
1PE 1:17 And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one's work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your sojourning here in fear;
DEU 1:17,18 'You shall not show partiality in judgment; you shall hear the small as well as the great; you shall not be afraid in any man's presence, for the judgment is God's. The case that is too hard for you, bring it to me, and I will hear it.' "And I commanded you at that time all the things which you should do.
2CH 19:7 "Now therefore, let the fear of the LORD be upon you; take care and do it, for there is no iniquity with the LORD our God, no partiality, nor taking of bribes."
PRO 24:23 These things also belong to the wise: It is not good to show partiality in judgment.
PRO 28:21 To show partiality is not good, because for a piece of bread a man will transgress.
LEV 19:15 'You shall do no injustice in judgment. You shall not be partial to the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty. But in righteousness you shall judge your neighbor.
ROM 2:11 For there is no partiality with God.
PETER STATED:
ACT 10:34 Then Peter opened his mouth and said: "In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality.
THE MECHANICS OF "RESPECTER OF PERSONS" IS SELF-DESTRUCTION. IT PUTS ONE IN AN INFERIOR POSITION; IT MAY EVEN RESTRICT THE DESIRE TO ACHIEVE ONE'S POTENTIAL.
GOD STATED ALL OF MAN IS VANITY, WHETHER RICH, POOR, INTELLIGENT OR FOOL. THERE IS NO DEGREE WITH GOD'S ATTITUDE TOWARDS US.
GOD FURTHER STATES, EVEN A FOOL MAY ENTER THE KINGDOM. AN INDIVIDUAL SHOULD NEVER RELY ON HUMAN ENDURANCE, BUT ON GOD'S STRENGTH AND ENDURANCE.
PSA 119:91 They continue this day according to Your ordinances, For all are Your servants.
C.03 GOD IS NO RESPECTOR OF PERSONS 2 ALL THINGS ARE GOD'S SERVANTS: MAN, BEAST, FOWL, NATURE.
IF GOD'S WILL IS FOR MAN TO OUTRUN A HORSE, MAN WILL DO IT, AS STATED IN THE LIVING BIBLE, I Kings 18:44-46
"Finally, the seventh time, his servant told him, 'I saw a little cloud about the size of a man's hand rising from the sea.' Then Elijah shouted, 'Hurry to Ahab and tell him to get into his chariot and get down the mountain, or he'll be stopped by the rain!' And sure enough, the sky was soon black with clouds, and a heavy wind brought a terrific rainstorm. Ahab left hastily for Jezreel, and the Lord gave special strength to Elijah so that he was able to run ahead of Ahab's chariot to the entrance of the city!"
WHAT ABOUT GOD'S KNOWLEDGE, UNDERSTANDING AND WISDOM PERTAINING TO HIS LACK OF PARTIALITY?
ISA 55:8,9 "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways," says the LORD. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.
HOW WOULD GOD OR MAN RESPECT THE RUNNING OF ELIJAH
OR THE WORKS OF BEZALEEL IN THE FOLLOWING?
EXO 35:30-35 And Moses said to the children of Israel, "See, the LORD has called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah; "and He has filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom and understanding, in knowledge and all manner of workmanship, "to design artistic works, to work in gold and silver and bronze, "in cutting jewels for setting, in carving wood, and to work in all manner of artistic workmanship. "And He has put in his heart the ability to teach, in him and Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. "He has filled them with skill to do all manner of work of the engraver and the designer and the tapestry maker, in blue and purple and scarlet and fine linen, and of the weaver--those who do every work and those who design artistic works.
WHAT ABOUT THE WORKS AND WORDS OF THE PROPHETS AND APOSTLES, THAT WE ARE ALL FAMILIAR WITH?
AGAIN:
PSA 119:91 for all are Your servants.
EPH 6:9 And you, masters, do the same things to them, giving up threatening, knowing that your own Master also is in heaven, and there is no partiality with Him.
COL 3:25 But he who does wrong will be repaid for the wrong which he has done, and there is no partiality.
JOB 37:24 Therefore men fear Him; He shows no partiality to any who are wise of heart."
C.03 GOD IS NO RESPECTOR OF PERSONS 3 JAM 2:1 My brethren, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with partiality.
JAM 2:3 And you pay attention to the one wearing the fine clothes and say to him, "You sit here in a good place," and say to the poor man, "You stand there," or, "Sit here at my footstool,"
JAM 2:9 But if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors.
IF YOU ARE DOING A SIN, YOU ARE A RESPECTER OF THAT SIN!
GAL 3:23-27 But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed. Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor. For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
PSA 40:4 Blessed is that man who makes the LORD his trust, And does not respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
PSA 138:6 Though the LORD is on high, Yet He regards the lowly; But the proud He knows from afar.
ROM 3:19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
HEB 11:3 By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.
1 John 4:8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
1 Peter 2:17 Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
Fear God for who He is, for the control He has. Only fear that that you will lose His grace.........Keep the desire in your heart to please Him. This desire will keep you going to prayer often and your love will increase for Him, as your desire to please Him increases.
