Luke 2:46: And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.

 47And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.



 48And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.



 49And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?



 50And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.



Psa. 40:7: Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,



 8I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.

John 4:30: Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.

 31In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.



 32But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.



 33Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?



 34Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.



John 6:38:For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.



 39And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.



 40And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.



Psalm 23:1: The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

Opposite: The Lord is NOT my shepherd, threfore I want everything-yet, I have nothing, but always trouble.

 2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.



Opposite: Since He is NOT my shepherd, I don't have the peace and sereinty of lying down in green pastures and beside still waters. No peaceful atmosphere can I find.



 3He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.



Opposite: I'm always astray without The Lord. I take wrong paths and never get restored.

 4Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.



Opposite: I constantly fear death, and I am fearful and afraid of everything. I have no one to comfor me-no rod and staff of The Lord for comfort. Therefore, I have no real comfort.



 5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.



Opposite: My enemies are always around me. My cup is never full-always short-no “plenty” in my cup.






 6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Opposite: No goodness ever follows me, I'm never shown mercy. I will be away from God forever, no dwelling place for me in the Lord's house.

 2And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:



 3And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

Ex. 12:12: For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD.

The Power of The Will against God... Lucifer

Isa.14:12: How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!



 13For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:



 14I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.



 15Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.



Jesus



Mt. 12:47:Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
 48But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
 49And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
 50For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.



Mt. 20:30: And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David.
 31And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David.
 32And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you?
 33They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
 34So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.
