Vaccines to 'Save Lives' Made From Aborted Babies...

5/29/2020

 
Picture
Vaccines are promoted to ‘supposedly’ save lives are made from slaughtered babies!

This is far more than ironic; far more than even 'moronic' - it is outright evil trickery.



As a parent, and especially as a Christian, can you really justify using vaccines - the majority of which have aborted fetal tissue components.

These components are often listed in the vaccine ingredients under the name of 'Diploid Cells' as well as MRC-5 Cells.


The statement below demonstrates that Diploid and MRC5 Cells both refer to aborted fetal cells that are used in vaccine development:


"MRC-5 is a diploid human cell culture line composed of fibroblasts developed from aborted fetal tissue."  Journal of Biological Standardization





The use of these aborted baby cells is not isolated to just a few types of vaccines either. They are in almost every type of vaccine, and regardless of the manufacturer.

Even if vaccines were effective, this would be you telling God that your child not getting some obscure disease is far more important than literally millions of others in his precious creation.




But, vaccines are NOT effective, nor are they safe. Section 13 of all vaccine inserts state that they have NEVER been tested for either safety or efficacy:

"This vaccine has not been evaluated (tested) for mutagenic, carcinogenic or impairment of fertility."


NO vaccine has ever been tested or even studied to determine if it will cause you or your child to develop Cancer, Infertility, or other severe impairment.

YOU are the Guinea Pig! They will see what the vaccine does by seeing what it does to you and/or your child.


Of course, the likelihood of you or your child contracting one of the illnesses that vaccines supposedly prevent is very small.

However, the likelihood IS very high that you will have some type of severe difficulty from the Vaccination itself.

YOU decide - Choose Life, not Death!!

Deuteronomy 30:19

"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."
 

Do you see it? If you choose to use a 'vaccine' that is made from the death of another instead of choosing life, you and your seed are also 'cursed' and doomed to death and disease.

Choose instead that you - and your child - will live and be free of disease with the ability to have more children instead of injecting yourselves with the illness that you are seeking in vain to prevent.


Put your trust in God and not in man.
May God Bless you and grant you His Wisdom.





Exposed: Fake Death Counts &  Crematoriums Report!

5/25/2020

 
PictureFAKE NEWS!!!
Fake Sky News Report On Mexico City Death Counts &  Crematoriums Exposed -



An independent journalist by the name of Jeff Berwick has just exposed the biggest story that almost no one is reporting about,  esp.  in the mainstream media.

He traveled to Mexico City to investigate if the story being reported locally and worldwide about the COVID deaths in Mexico was true and to film his findings for all to see.


His in-person boots on the ground findings were that the Media has been egregiously lying about the situation, in fact, to the point of just the opposite of what is being said.

This is important because the Truth is of very grave importance. Truth is defined as that which is,
"
in accordance with fact or reality".  What is being reported to us on the media is neither. 






If we are to follow the admonition in the verse below, we should be listening only to the Truth:

Proverbs 23:23 says to, "Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding."

The Bible tells us in John 17:17 that God's word is truth: "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth." 




TRUTH is extremely important to God, and is mentioned over 200 times alone in the KJV Bible. The Lord God IS the Truth:

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."  John 14:6 




In contrast, the Devil is the 'father of lies' -

"Ye are of your father the devil ...there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."  John 8:44



LIES: Therefore, it is no small thing that our government(s) and our media have been lying to us - even consistently, non-stop and unashamedly.

They have spoken much untruth about many things, but the most recent - and most devastating - has been about the Coronavirus 'pandemic'.



Yes, there could be a virus, but it is most likely this year's flu virus that has been over-hyped by the news and manipulated by governments worldwide for power.

While there are many examples here in the U.S., one such case is in the country of Mexico where it is being said in the media that:



  • Official government figures show 42,595 cases, with 4,477 related deaths 
  • Hospitals, morgues and crematoriums are all at full capacity in Mexico City
  • A crematorium can be seen storing bodies in autopsy rooms and in corridors
  • Reportedly burning bodies on an 'industrial scale' and the bodies never stop coming

GOD BLESS YOU!

Alcohol: It's Called 'Spirits' For a Good Reason...

5/23/2020

 
PictureALCOHOL & BAD DECISIONS GO TOGETHER PROV 20:1
ALCOHOL - A BAD CHOICE:


Alcohol is often referred to as 'spirits' and for good reason.

Drinking alcohol or any fermented beverage can open you up to suggestion from all manner of malevolent spirits.




As Bible-believing Christians, we know that these spirits are demons and devils from the pit of Hell.

"And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils."  Revelation 16:13-14 




In the Bible, the word 'wine' is used for both fermented and unfermented juice of the grape or the 'vine'. We can discern which is being spoken of by the context.

Fermented wine and alcohol is never spoken well of in the Bible and God warns us very strongly against drinking it or even 'looking at it' in this state:



"Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright."  Proverbs 23:31




The juice even of a red grape is clear, but when it has been steeped and fermented, the liquid takes on the color of the skin and becomes bubbly from fermentation - 'moving itself aright'.

Again, the Bible is completely against having anything ever to do with fermented wine and drink. Many fell as though 'social' or occasional drinking is okay, but it is not.



There is no way to know how much any alcohol is going to affect you on a day to day basis. Many factors, such as not having eaten, can cause you to become drunk before you realize it. Be not a 'drunkard':


"Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God." 

1Corinthians 6:9-11




Below is a Warning as to Why Drinking Alcohol Can Cause Alcoholism:


You ARE an alcoholic if you drink even any amount, especially on a regular basis and with no conviction in your heart whatsoever.
 
The habitual drinking of alcohol changes you, in subtle ways that are nonetheless very profound.
 
The ‘social drinker’ is a myth. You may not (yet) be a stumbling drunk, but you have alcohol at the ready in your cabinet and refrigerator don’t you.
 
You aren’t just drinking when you’re out somewhere ‘socially’ at a restaurant. a party or someone else’s house.
 
These are bad enough, but it is in your home where it will have a stealthy effect not only on yourself but also your children.
 
The message is that alcohol is okay. You must be very careful what you get your children – and yourself – used to as being ‘nothing’.
 
Next time they’re at a party or out with friends and are offered alcohol, it won’t seem that bad or even unusual to them.
 
You have robbed them of that natural, God-given catch in their spirit against such things. You have now opened the door, a door that’s hard to shut.
 
Even if you don’t have children, it’s still not okay for you to do these things because you will become a creature of the (bad) habits you practice.




"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."    
    
Romans 12:2



Escape: Be Saved From This Troubled & Corrupt World

5/22/2020

 
Picture"HOW SHALL WE ESCAPE, IF WE NEGLECT SO GREAT SALVATION?" HEBREWS 2:3


Salvation in Jesus Christ


(
We have included below the information from our Salvation Page on this site for reference to key scripture verses and a prayer.)



In these uncertain times many of us have turned our thoughts even more away from this 'world' and looking to the next.

The Bible tells us that that our only 'escape' from this dying world is by salvation through Jesus Christ:



"How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation?"  Hebrews 2:3

"Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away." Matt 24



Some of us may even have uncertainty about our standing with God and hope to make sure that we are right with Him.  1 John 5:13 gives us the assurance of salvation if we believe in Jesus Christ:


"These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God."




The Bible tells us that Salvation is to be found only through the name of Jesus Christ 'whereby we must be saved':


"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved ...he name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead."  Acts 4:10-12




Many of us can see that 'this world' is fading away fast and wish to no longer be of this corrupt world but to be 'born again' of God unto eternal life and the life to come:

"The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish."  Isaiah 24:4




The passage below from 1 John 5:1-14 explains all of this very well:

"1
Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.


2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.

3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.


12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.


14 And this is the confidence that we have in him."  1 John 5:1-14

Salvation Page - 

The decision to place your trust in Christ is the most important choice that you will ever make in your life.

Let the verses below guide you in the knowledge that we are all sinners in need of a Savior.


  •  For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.  Romans 3:23

We all need to repent - turn from - our own self-righteousness, because we can do nothing 'good' enough to merit salvation.
  
  • But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.   Isaiah 64:6
 
Only Jesus Christ can save us and cleanse us from our sins.


  • Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.  Acts 4:12


PRAYER OF SALVATION:

Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father , but by me.” (John 14:6)

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” (Romans 10:9)

1. Admit you are a sinner. See Romans 3:10
"As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one."

2. Be willing to turn from sin and your own self-righteousness (repent). See Acts 17:30

3. Believe that Jesus Christ died for you, was buried and rose from the dead. See Romans 10:9-10

4. Through prayer, invite Jesus into your life to become your personal Saviour. See Romans 10:13


WHAT TO PRAY: “Dear God, I am a sinner and need forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ shed His precious blood and died for my sin. I am willing to repent – turn from sin and turn to You. I now invite Christ to come into my heart and life as my personal Saviour.” –Amen

If you trusted Jesus as your Saviour, you have just begun a wonderful new life with Him. Now:

1. Read your Bible every day to get to know Jesus Christ better.

2. Talk to God in prayer every day.

3. Be baptized, worship, fellowship, and serve with other Christians in a church where Christ is preached and the Bible is the final authority.

4. Tell others about Jesus Christ.




GOD BLESS YOU!


Great News! You Already Have the Fruits of the Spirit!

5/19/2020

 
PictureFRUIT OF THE SPIRIT GIFT 'TOOL' BOX FROM GOD
THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT : 


Great News - You already have all the Fruits of the Spirit - You only need to use them!

This is such great news - and a great relief - once you realize this.


(ALL LINKS IN THIS POST ARE TO SCRIPTURE REFERENCE)


You have already been given this gift by God - It is already there for you!


"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning."  James 1:17 



As a Christian, you can sometimes feel discouraged if you are not feeling as patient (or kind, or faithful, etc.) as you think you should.

But, in those times, just remember that you already have patience (& all the fruit!) and you only need to use it - it is already there.



Do not let the enemy of our soul make you feel as though somehow you are not 'Christian' enough or, worse, that perhaps you don't have the Spirit.

This is a lie from the Devil, the 'thief',  to 'steal, kill and destroy' your faith confidence:


"The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."  John 10:10




Just ask for the Lord's help through his Holy Spirit to implement these 'fruits' - the tools you have already been given by Him.

As you grow in your Christian walk, this will become easier and easier, but it is like any skill or, in this case, gift: you have to practice it and exercise it.



If you are a Christian, you received the Holy Spirit - AND the fruit of the Spirit - at the very moment of your conversion. It is not  'separate baptism'.


Ephesians 4:5  tells us that it is, "One Lord, one faith, one baptism,"




The KJV lists the 9 "Fruits of the Spirit" as:


'LOVE', 'JOY', 'PEACE', 'LONGSUFFERING' (Patience; Enduring; Endurance), 'GENTLENESS',  'GOODNESS', 'FAITH', 'MEEKNESS' (Kindness; Quietness), & 'SELF CONTROL'.


THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT:

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.


Galatians 5:22-26


GOD BLESS YOU THIS DAY & ALWAYS!!

Coronavirus A Type of Common Cold per CDC, Lancet

5/17/2020

 
PictureCORONAVIRUSES: KNOWN FOR CAUSING THE COMMON COLD
Coronaviruses are a group of viruses known for causing the common cold. They have a halo or crown-like (corona) appearance when viewed under an electron microscope.

Other names for the Common Cold are - a Cold, acute viral nasopharyngitis, nasopharyngitis, viral rhinitis, acute coryza, rhinopharyngitis, or head cold.

ACUTE - 'Quick onset and recovery; not an ongoing illness'.


We've all most likely had a 'Cold' at some time in our life, but it most likely wasn't all that serious or 'deadly'. In fact, "The common cold is the most frequent infectious disease in humans."


IT'S COMMON: "The average adult gets two to three colds a year, while the average child may get six to eight. Infections occur more commonly during the winter." (So, why are we still locked down?)

These infections have existed throughout human history. So, they are 'Common'. People have also lived through them all throughout history.





Coronaviruses are nothing 'new' (novel) and are a group of viruses that can cause respiratory tract infections which can range from mild to lethal, from the common cold and rhinoviruses, to SARS, MERS, and COVID-19.  


LETHALITY - Depends on the HOST. Healthy individuals with a good immune system will recover quickly and have a 'mild' case, whereas a person who is either extremely elderly and/or already ill will have a more 'serious' case of illness.


THE CURE FOR THE COMMON COLD - IS THE COMMON COLD! Colds and flus are the body's way of detoxing -


DON'T SUPPRESS THE SYMPTOMS!

COUGHING & SNEEZING - Expels toxins & mucus
FEVER - Kills viruses, germs, bacteria and pathogens
VOMIT & DIARRHEA - Expels toxic body substances
B.M. & URINATION - Body's way of getting rid of toxin
BREATHING - You need to Breathe Stop Wearing a Mask


BREATHE!  - When you Breathe, Oxygen is taken to the Lungs and transported to the cells to nourish them; these cells then deposit CO2 and other toxins into the blood to be expelled by the lungs when you exhale.


A MASK SEVERELY IMPEDES THIS PROCESS AND CAN LEAD TO HYPOXIA, FAINTING & OXYGEN DEPRIVATION


Exodus 23:25  "And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee."


Use Prayer, Common Sense and our own God-given immune system, and feed it with natural God-created foods.

Repentance: Grief & Godly Sorrow Not Works Salvation

5/16/2020

 
Picture2 CORINTHIANS 7:10
There are some who have wrongly said that to teach 'repentance' is to teach 'works salvation' to 'turn' from one's sins first.

However, repent does NOT mean "to turn," and throughout all the Bible, the word 'repent' simply means "grief and sorrow."


It is a matter of sincerity of the heart:



"For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death."  2 Corinthians 7:10




Webster's 1828 Dictionary defines the word 'repent' in this way: "to feel pain, sorrow or regret for something done or spoken; to express sorrow for something past."

It goes on to further define 'repent' as:
"To change the mind in consequence of the inconvenience or injury done by past conduct."

Is this not the 'change of heart' and mind that is needed for one to come to God, or to even feel the necessity for doing so?





In theology, to 'repent' is, "To sorrow or be pained for sin, as a violation of God's holy law, a dishonor to his character and government, and the foulest ingratitude to a Being of infinite benevolence."


"Except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish." Luke 13:3 ;

"Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord."   Acts 3:19





There are also consequences for not having repentance. The Bible shows us the result of a people who did not repent of their 'wickedness':

"No man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, ...And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of them that remain of this evil family ...I will surely consume them, saith the Lord." Jeremiah 8:3-13



   ~  LET US THEN 'REPENT UNTO SALVATION'!  ~

the Bible teaches us that 'godly sorrow is repentance to salvation'. The Corinthians were not instructed to reject that grief and sorrow, but rather, to embrace it for its work unto salvation:


"Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing. For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort,"  2 Corinthians 7:9-11



Salvation: You ARE The Called If You Answer the Call...

5/15/2020

 
PictureBEHOLD I STAND AT THE DOOR AND KNOCK
The Called Are Those Who Answer the Call - And Those Who Hear His Knock & Open the Door:


"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."  Revelation 3:20


"Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ."  Romans 1:6




We may sometimes hear the verse below from Romans and wonder 'who are the called?' and moreover, 'am I one of the called':

"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."  Romans 8:28






The 'called' are simply those who are called 'according to his purpose'.  What then is His purpose? It is salvation through Jesus Christ!

God makes his purpose of Salvation - to which we all are called, if we answer this call - known through his word, the Holy Scriptures:


GOD'S SALVATION:

"...The holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus."  
2 Timothy 3:15


"Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ."  2 Thessalonians 2:14




BELIEVE UNTO SALVATION!:


It is He that frees us from Sin unto Salvation to everyone that believes:


"For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty."  Galatians 5:13


"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth." 
Romans 1:16





You are the called and now we should all press on toward this prize of that 'high calling'. And, God will help us in this endeavor for He who called us is faithful to do it:


 "I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."  Philippians 3:14


"Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it." 
1 Thessalonians 5:24





MAY GOD BLESS YOU GREATLY TODAY AND ALWAYS!


Being Human Is Not A Disease - Do Not 'Fear' COVID

5/15/2020

 
Picture"FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE" PS. 139:14
There is currently much fear being felt over whether or not we will contract a 'virus' known as COVID, but we should not fear for God has given us strength in all ways - our bodies, minds and spirits:



"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."  2Timothy 1:7




"...For the joy of the Lord is your strength."  Nehemiah 8:10

"
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear,"   Psalm 46:1-2




Many notable Physicians - as well as the 'Great Physician' and Healer himself - have come out against the idea of 'The Human Condition' as being one of constant weakness and sickliness.


Physician Louis P. Voigt, specialist in critical care medicine at Memorial Sloan Kettering has stated that: "Each Patient Is a Unique Human Being, Not a Disease or a Group of Symptoms."


Dr Joe Kosterich, G.P. and adjunct professor at UWA is quoted as saying: "Being human is not a medical condition."



Our bodies are not just a random assortment of chemicals and parts that can break down at any moment without cause as the "science falsely so called" of evolution would have us believe. 

It is God our benevolent Creator who has made us "in [our] mother's womb" and has given us a way - known as our immune system - for our bodies to heal and recover from sickness and injury.




"I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well."  Psalm 139:14

Genesis 1:26-27 tells us that, "God created man in his own image." and gave him dominion "over all the earth."



In both Psalm 8 and Hebrews 2:6-8 we see the high place that God has given to man in His creation:

“What is man, that thou art mindful of him?  Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him.”


 
Isaiah 40:31
"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
" 





MAKE GOD YOUR STRENGTH AND SALVATION TODAY!


"Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation."            2 Corinthians 6:2


Revelation 12:10  "...Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ."


Romans 13:11  "And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed."

Psalm 27:1 "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?"



COVID Crisis: Thou Art Just in All That is Upon Us...

5/14/2020

 
PictureNEHEMIAH 9:33
Our nation, and all the nations of the world, are going through a very strange and terrible time of 'crisis'.

The crisis is one not of a plague of illness or disease, but of evil and lawlessness on the part of those in control over us.



However, we have not fallen into this state by accident, but rather by a consequence of ongoing disobedience to God and His laws.

The Bible speaks of this in first part of Nehemiah 9 where it recounts all of the many blessings that God had bestowed upon his people but, despite God's great goodness, they did rebel and disobey over and over.

However, God also did forbear and forgive them many times over as well. In the end, the consequence of this cycle of disobedience is that God's people came into bondage to those who ruled over them.

This passage in Nehemiah truly speaks to where we are now as a people and a nation. The curse for them - and for us - was not 'causeless', but it is also not hopeless as God is always ready to forgive if we repent of our ways:

"...Thou art just in all that is brought upon us; for thou hast done right, but we have done wickedly."  Nehemiah 9:33




Nehemiah 9:26-38

26 Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against thee, and cast thy law behind their backs, and slew thy prophets which testified against them to turn them to thee, and they wrought great provocations.

27 Therefore thou deliveredst them into the hand of their enemies, who vexed them: and in the time of their trouble, when they cried unto thee, thou heardest them from heaven; and according to thy manifold mercies thou gavest them saviours, who saved them out of the hand of their enemies.

28 But after they had rest, they did evil again before thee: therefore leftest thou them in the land of their enemies, so that they had the dominion over them: yet when they returned, and cried unto thee, thou heardest them from heaven; and many times didst thou deliver them according to thy mercies;

29 And testifiedst against them, that thou mightest bring them again unto thy law: yet they dealt proudly, and hearkened not unto thy commandments, but sinned against thy judgments, (which if a man do, he shall live in them;) and withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear.

30 Yet many years didst thou forbear them, and testifiedst against them by thy spirit in thy prophets: yet would they not give ear: therefore gavest thou them into the hand of the people of the lands.

31 Nevertheless for thy great mercies' sake thou didst not utterly consume them, nor forsake them; for thou art a gracious and merciful God.

32 Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who keepest covenant and mercy, let not all the trouble seem little before thee, that hath come upon us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all thy people, since the time of the kings of Assyria unto this day.

33 Howbeit thou art just in all that is brought upon us; for thou hast done right, but we have done wickedly:

34 Neither have our kings, our princes, our priests, nor our fathers, kept thy law, nor hearkened unto thy commandments and thy testimonies, wherewith thou didst testify against them.

35 For they have not served thee in their kingdom, and in thy great goodness that thou gavest them, and in the large and fat land which thou gavest before them, neither turned they from their wicked works.

36 Behold, we are servants this day, and for the land that thou gavest unto our fathers to eat the fruit thereof and the good thereof, behold, we are servants in it:

37 And it yieldeth much increase unto the kings whom thou hast set over us because of our sins: also they have dominion over our bodies, and over our cattle, at their pleasure, and we are in great distress.

38 And because of all this we make a sure covenant, and write it; and our princes, Levites, and priests, seal unto it.

Nehemiah 9:26-38
