16The Spirit <4151> itself
<846> beareth witness <4828> (5719) with our
<2257> spirit <4151>,
that <3754> we are <2070> (5748) the children
<5043> of God <2316>:
17And <1161> if
<1487> children <5043>, then <2532> heirs
<2818>; heirs <2818> of God <3303><2316>, and
<1161> joint-heirs <4789> with Christ <5547>; if
so be <1512> that we suffer with <4841> (5719)him, that
<2443> we may be <4888> <0> also <2532>
glorified together <4888> (5686).
18 For <1063> I reckon
<3049> (5736) that <3754> the sufferings <3804> of
this present <3568> time <2540> are not
<3756> worthy <514> to be compared with
<4314> the glory <1391> which shall <3195>
(5723)be revealed
<601> (5683) in <1519> us
<2248>.
19 For <1063> the earnest
expectation <603> of the creature <2937> waiteth
<553> (5736) for the manifestation<602> of the sons
<5207> of God <2316>.
20For <1063> the
creature <2937> was made subject <5293> (5648) to vanity
<3153>, not <3756> willingly <1635>, but
<235> by reason <1223> of him who hath subjected
<5293> (5660) the same in <1909> hope
<1680> ,
21 Because <3754> the
creature <2937> itself <846> also <2532> shall be
delivered <1659> (5701) from <575> the bondage
<1397> of corruption <5356> into <1519> the
glorious <1391> liberty <1657> of the children
<5043>of God
<2316>.
22For <1063> we know <1492> (5758) that
<3754> the whole <3956> creation <2937> groaneth
<4959>(5719) and
<2532> travaileth in pain together <4944> (5719) until
<891> now <3568>. {the…: or, every creature}
23And <1161> not <3756> only <3440>
they, but <235> ourselves <846> also
<2532>, which have <2192> (5723) the firstfruits
<536> of the Spirit <4151>, even <2532> we
<2249> ourselves <846> groan <4727>(5719) within <1722>
ourselves <1438>, waiting <553> (5740) for the adoption
<5206>, to wit, the redemption<629> of our
<2257> body <4983>.
24For <1063> we are
saved <4982> (5681) by hope <1680>: but <1161>
hope <1680> that is seen<991> (5746) is <2076> (5748) not <3756>
hope <1680>: for <1063> what <3739> a man
<5100> seeth <991> (5719), why <5101> doth he
<1679> <0> yet <2532> hope for <1679>
(5719)?
25 But <1161> if
<1487> we hope <1679> (5719) for that <3739> we
see <991> (5719) not<3756>, then do we <553> <0> with
<1223> patience <5281> wait for <553> (5736)
it.
26<1161> Likewise
<5615> the Spirit <4151> also <2532> helpeth
<4878> (5736) our <2257>infirmities <769>: for
<1063> we know <1492> (5758) not <3756> what
<5101> we should pray for <4336> (5667)as <2526> we ought
<1163> (5748): but <235> the Spirit <4151> itself
<846> maketh intercession <5241>(5719) for <5228> us
<2257> with groanings <4726> which cannot be uttered
<215>.
27And <1161> he that
searcheth <2045> (5723) the hearts <2588> knoweth
<1492> (5758) what <5101>is the mind
<5427> of the Spirit <4151>, because <3754> he
maketh intercession <1793> (5719) for <5228> the saints
<40> according <2596> to the will of God
<2316>. {because: or,
that}
28 And <1161> we
know <1492> (5758) that all things <3956> work together
<4903> (5719) for <1519>good <18> to them that
<3754> love <25> (5723) God <2316>, to them who
are <5607> (5752) the called<2822> according
<2596> to his purpose
<4286>.
29 For <3754> whom
<3739> he did foreknow <4267> (5656), he <4309>
<0> also <2532> did predestinate <4309> (5656)
to be conformed <4832> to the image <1504> of his
<846> Son <5207>, that <1519>he <846> might be
<1511> (5750) the firstborn <4416> among <1722>
many <4183> brethren <80>.
30Moreover <1161> whom
<3739> he did predestinate <4309> (5656), them
<5128> he <2564> <0>also <2532> called
<2564> (5656): and <2532> whom <3739> he called
<2564> (5656), them <5128> he <1344> <0>
also <2532> justified <1344> (5656): and <1161>
whom <3739> he justified <1344> (5656) , them
<5128> he <1392> <0> also <2532> glorified
<1392> (5656).
31 What <5101> shall
we <2046> <0> then <3767> say <2046> (5692)
to <4314> these things <5023>? If <1487> God
<2316> be for <5228> us <2257>, who
<5101> can be against <2596> us<2257>?
32He that <3739> <1065> spared
<5339> (5662) not <3756> his own <2398> Son
<5207>, but <235> delivered <3860> <0> him
<846> up <3860> (5656) for <5228> us <2257>
all <3956>, how <4459> shall he <5483> <0>
not <3780> with <4862> him <846> also <2532>
freely give <5483> (5695)us <2254> all things
<3956>?
33 Who <5101> shall lay
any thing <1458> (5692) to the charge <2596> of God’s
<2316> elect <1588>? It is God <2316> that
justifieth <1344> (5723).
34Who <5101> is
he that condemneth <2632> (5723) (5694)? It is Christ
<5547> that died <599>(5631), yea <1161>
rather <3123> <2532>, that is risen again <1453>
(5685), who <3739> is <2076>(5748) even <2532> at
<1722> the right hand <1188> of God <2316>, who
<3739> also <2532> maketh intercession <1793>
(5719) for <5228> us
<2257>.
35Who <5101> shall
separate <5563> (5692) us <2248> from <575> the
love <26> of Christ <5547> ? shall tribulation
<2347>, or <2228> distress <4730>, or <2228>
persecution <1375>, or <2228> famine <3042> , or
<2228> nakedness <1132>, or <2228> peril
<2794>, or <2228> sword
<3162>?
36As <2531> it is written <1125> (5769),
<3754> For thy <4675> sake <1752> we are killed
<2289>(5743) all
<3650> the day long <2250>; we are accounted
<3049> (5681) as <5613> sheep <4263> for the
slaughter <4967>.
37Nay <235>, in
<1722> all <3956> these things <5125> we are more
than conquerors <5245> (5719) through <1223> him that
loved <25> (5660) us
<2248>.
38For <1063> I am
persuaded <3982> (5769), that <3754> neither
<3777> death <2288>, nor <3777>life <2222>, nor
<3777> angels <32>, nor <3777> principalities
<746>, nor <3777> powers <1411>, nor<3777> things present
<1764> (5761), nor <3777> things to come <3195>
(5723),
39Nor <3777> height
<5313>, nor <3777> depth <899>, nor <3777>
any <5100> other <2087>creature <2937>, shall
be able <1410> (5695) to separate <5563> (5658) us
<2248> from <575> the love <26>of God <2316>, which
is in <1722> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> our
<2257> Lord <2962>.
Ephesians 2:1And
<2532> you <5209> hath he quickened, who were
<5607> (5752) dead <3498>
in trespasses <3900>and <2532> sins
<266>;
Christ in You the Hope of
Glory
Colossians 1:27To whom
<3739> God <2316> would <2309> (5656) make known
<1107>
(5658) what <5101> is the riches
<4149> of the glory <1391> of this <5127>
mystery <3466> among <1722> the Gentiles <1484>;
which <3739>is
<2076> (5748) Christ <5547> in <1722> you
<5213>, the hope <1680> of glory <1391>: {in: or,
among}
The Manifestation of the Sons of
God
Romans 8:19For <1063> the earnest
expectation <603> of the creature <2937> waiteth <553> (5736) for the manifestation<602> of the sons
<5207> of God <2316>.
The Coming Together of
the Body of Christ
John
17:21-23That
<2443> they all <3956> may be <5600> (5753) one
<1520>; as <2531> thou <4771>, Father
<3962>, art in <1722> me <1698>, and I
<2504> in <1722> thee <4671>, that <2443>
they <846>also
<2532> may be <5600> (5753) one <1520> in
<1722> us <2254>: that <2443> the world
<2889> may believe <4100> (5661) that <3754> thou
<4771> hast sent <649> (5656) me
<3165>.
22And <2532> the
glory <1391> which <3739> thou gavest <1325>
(5758) me <3427> I <1473>have given <1325>
(5758) them <846>; that <2443> they may be <5600>
(5753) one <1520>, even as <2531>we <2249> are
<2070> (5748) one
<1520>:
23I <1473>
in <1722> them <846>, and <2532> thou <4771>
in <1722> me <1698>, that<2443> they may be <5600> (5753) made perfect
<5048> (5772) in <1519> one <1520>; and <2532> that <2443>the world <2889> may
know <1097> (5725) that <3754> thou <4771> hast sent <649> (5656)
me <3165> , and <2532> hast loved <25>
(5656) them <846>, as <2531> thou hast loved <25>
(5656) me <1691>.
The New Testament Pattern
For the New Testament Church
These building principles
are found in the Book of Acts.
The Outpouring of the
Latter Rain
Zechariah
10:1Ask
<07592> (8798) ye of the LORD <03068> rain <04306>
in the time <06256> of
the latter rain <04456> ; so the LORD <03068>
shall make <06213> (8802) bright clouds <02385>, and give
<05414> (8799) them showers<01653> of rain <04306>, to every one
<0376> grass <06212> in the field <07704>. {bright…: or,
lightnings}
Joel 2:23Be glad
<01523> (8798) then, ye children <01121> of Zion
<06726>, and rejoice <08055> (8798) in the LORD <03068> your
God <0430>: for he hath given <05414> (8804) you the former rain <04175>
moderately <06666>, and he will cause to come down <03381> (8686) for you the rain
<01653>, the former rain <04175>, and the latter rain <04456> in the first
<07223>month. {the former rain moderately: or, a teacher of righteousness}{moderately: Heb. according to righteousness}
The Prophetic
Spirit
1 Corinthians
14:3But <1161> he
that prophesieth <4395> (5723) speaketh <2980> (5719) unto men <444> to edification
<3619>, and <2532> exhortation <3874>, and <2532> comfort
<3889>.
The Ministry of
Deliverance
Luke 4:18,
19The Spirit <4151> of
the Lord <2962> is upon <1909> me <1691>,
because <1752> he hath anointed<5548> (5656) me
<3165> to preach the gospel <2097> (5733) to the poor
<4434>; he hath sent <649> (5758) me <3165> to
heal <2390> (5664) the brokenhearted <4937> (5772)
<2588>, to preach <2784> (5658) deliverance <859>
to the captives <164>, and <2532> recovering of sight
<309> to the blind <5185>, to set <649> (5658) at
<1722> liberty <859> them that are bruised <2352>
(5772),
19To preach <2784>
(5658) the acceptable <1184> year <1763> of the Lord
<2962>.
Singing in the
Spirit
1 Corinthians
14:15What
<5101> is it <2076> (5748) then <3767>? I will
pray <4336> (5695) with the spirit <4151> , and
<1161> I will pray <4336> (5695) with the understanding <3563> also <2532>: I will sing
<5567> (5692)with the spirit <4151>, and <1161> I will sing <5567>
(5692) with the understanding <3563> also <2532>.
Ephesians
5:19Speaking
<2980> (5723) to yourselves <1438> in psalms

<5603>, singing <103> (5723) and <2532> making melody <5567> (5723) in

The Perfection of the
Church
Daniel 8:13,
14Then I heard
<08085> (8799) one <0259> saint <06918> speaking
<01696> (8764), and another<0259> saint
<06918> said <0559> (8799) unto that certain
<06422> saint which spake <01696> (8764), How
long shall be
the vision <02377> concerning the daily <08548>
sacrifice, and the transgression <06588> of desolation
<08074> (8802) , to give <05414> (8800) both the
sanctuary <06944> and the host <06635> to be trodden
under foot <04823>? {that…: or, the numberer of secrets,
or, the wonderful numberer: Heb. Palmoni}{of…: or, making
desolate}
14And he said <0559>
(8799) unto me, Unto two thousand <0505> and three
<07969> hundred <03967> days <06153><01242>; then shall
the sanctuary <06944> be cleansed <06663> (8738). {days: Heb. evening
morning}{cleansed: Heb.
justified}
Revelation
12:1And <2532> there
appeared <3700> (5681) a great <3173> wonder <4592> in <1722> heaven <3772> ; a woman
<1135> clothed <4016> (5772) with the sun <2246>, and <2532> the moon <4582>
under <5270> her<846> feet <4228>, and <2532> upon <1909> her
<846> head <2776> a crown <4735> of twelve <1427> stars<792>: {wonder: or,
sign}
Ephesians
5:27That
<2443> he might present <3936> (5661) it <846> to
himself <1438> a glorious <1741> church<1577>, not
<3361> having <2192> (5723) spot <4696>, or <2228> wrinkle <4512>, or
<2228> any <5100>such thing <5108>; but <235> that <2443> it should be <5600>
(5753) holy <40> and <2532> without blemish
<299>.
John 17:21That
<2443> they all <3956> may be <5600> (5753) one
<1520>; as <2531> thou <4771>, Father <3962>,
art in <1722> me <1698>, and I <2504> in
<1722> thee <4671>, that <2443> they
<846>also
<2532> may be <5600> (5753) one <1520> in <1722> us <2254>: that
<2443> the world <2889> may believe <4100> (5661) that
<3754> thou <4771> hast sent <649> (5656) me
<3165>.
The Feasts of the Lord
With Emphasis on the Feast of
Trumpets
Leviticus
23:23-25And the LORD <03068>
spake <01696> (8762) unto Moses <04872>, saying
<0559> (8800),
24
Speak <01696> (8761)
unto the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, saying
<0559> (8800), In the seventh <07637> month
<02320>, in the first <0259> day of the month
<02320>, shall ye have a sabbath <07677>, a memorial
<02146>of
blowing <08643> of trumpets, an holy <06944> convocation
<04744>.
25Ye shall do <06213>
(8799) no servile <05656> work <04399> therein:
but ye shall offer <07126>(8689) an offering made by
fire <0801> unto the LORD
<03068>.
Numbers
10:1-10And the LORD
<03068> spake <01696> (8762) unto Moses <04872>,
saying <0559> (8800),
2
Make
<06213> (8798) thee two <08147> trumpets <02689>
of silver <03701>; of a whole piece <04749>shalt thou make
<06213> (8799) them: that thou mayest use <01961> (8804)
them for the calling <04744> of the assembly <05712> ,
and for the journeying <04550> of the camps
<04264>.
3And when they
shall blow <08628> (8804) with them <02004>, all the
assembly <05712> shall assemble <03259>(8738) themselves to thee at
the door <06607> of the tabernacle <0168> of the
congregation <04150>.
4And if they blow
<08628> (8799) but with one <0259>
trumpet, then the princes <05387>, which are
heads <07218> of the thousands <0505> of Israel
<03478>, shall gather <03259> (8738) themselves unto
thee.
5When ye blow
<08628> (8804) an alarm <08643>, then the camps
<04264> that lie <02583> (8802) on the east parts
<06924> shall go forward <05265>
(8804).
6When ye blow
<08628> (8804) an alarm <08643> the second time
<08145>, then the camps <04264> that lie
<02583>(8802) on
the south side <08486> shall take their journey <05265>
(8804): they shall blow <08628> (8799) an alarm <08643>
for their journeys
<04550>.
7
But when the
congregation <06951> is to be gathered together <06950>
(8687), ye shall blow <08628> (8799), but ye shall not sound
an alarm <07321> (8686).
8
And the sons
<01121> of Aaron <0175>, the priests <03548>,
shall blow <08628> (8799) with the trumpets<02689>; and they
shall be to you for an ordinance <02708> for ever
<05769> throughout your generations
<01755>.
9And if ye go
<0935> (8799) to war <04421> in your land <0776>
against <06862> the enemy that oppresseth<06887> (8802) you,
then ye shall blow an alarm <07321> (8689) with the trumpets
<02689>; and ye shall be remembered <02142>(8738) before <06440>
the LORD <03068> your God <0430>, and ye shall be saved
<03467> (8738) from your enemies <0341>(8802).
10
Also in the day
<03117> of your gladness <08057>, and in your solemn
days <04150>, and in the beginnings <07218> of your
months <02320>, ye shall blow <08628> (8804) with the
trumpets <02689> over your burnt offerings <05930>, and

The Tabernacle of

Amos
9:11-15In that day
<03117> will I raise up <06965> (8686) the tabernacle
<05521> of David <01732> that is fallen<05307> (8802), and
close up <01443> (8804) the breaches <06556> thereof;
and I will raise up <06965> (8686) his ruins <02034>,
and I will build <01129> (8804) it as in the days
<03117> of old <05769>: {close: Heb. hedge, or,
wall}
12That they may possess
<03423> (8799) the remnant <07611> of Edom <0123>,
and of all the heathen <01471>, which are called <07121>
(8738) by my name <08034>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD
<03068> that doeth <06213> (8802)this. {which…: Heb. upon
whom my name is called}
13Behold, the days
<03117> come <0935> (8802), saith <05002> (8803)
the LORD <03068>, that the plowman <02790> (8802) shall
overtake <05066> (8738) the reaper <07114> (8802), and
the treader <01869> (8802)of grapes <06025> him
that soweth <04900> (8802) seed <02233>; and the
mountains <02022> shall drop <05197> (8689)sweet wine <06071>,
and all the hills <01389> shall melt <04127> (8709).
{soweth: Heb. draweth forth}{sweet: or,
new}
14And I will bring again
<07725> (8804) the captivity <07622> of my people
<05971> of Israel <03478>, and they shall build
<01129> (8804) the waste <08074> (8737) cities
<05892>, and inhabit <03427> (8804) them; and
they shall plant <05193> (8804) vineyards <03754>, and
drink <08354> (8804) the wine <03196> thereof; they
shall also make<06213> (8804) gardens <01593>, and eat
<0398> (8804) the fruit <06529> of
them.
15
And I will plant
<05193> (8804) them upon their land <0127>, and they
shall no more be pulled up <05428> (8735)out of their land
<0127> which I have given <05414> (8804) them, saith
<0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> thy God <0430>
