Pauline Epistle - Romans

Romans 12:6-21 [6] We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us.

A Prayer for Salvation

Psalm 22:4-19 [4] In you our ancestors put their trust;     they trusted and you delivered them. [5] To you they cried out and were saved;     in you they trusted and were not put to shame. [6] But I am a worm and not a man,     scorned by everyone, despised by the people. [7] All who see me mock me;     they hurl insults, shaking their heads. [8] “He trusts in the Lord,” they say,     “let the Lord rescue him. Let him deliver him,     since he delights in him.” [9] Yet you brought me out of the womb;     you made me trust in you, even at my mother’s breast. [10] From birth I was cast on you;     from my mother’s womb you have been my God. [11] Do not be far from me,     for trouble is near     and there is no one to help. [12] Many bulls surround me;     strong bulls of Bashan encircle me. [13] Roaring lions that tear their prey     open their mouths wide against me. [14] I am poured out like water,     and all my bones are out of joint. My heart has turned to wax;     it has melted w

Beyond: the Seraphim

Hello. I am not authorized to explain this topic but you can know about the Seraphim from the Books of Enoch. Below is an excerpt from the 3rd book. (12) Why are they called Seraphim?  Because they burn ( saraph ) the writing  tables of Satan : Every day Satan is sitting,  together with SAMMAEL, the Prince of  Rome, and with DUBBIEL, the Prince of  Persia, and they write the iniquities of Israel  on writing tables which they hand over to  the Seraphim, in order that they may present  them before the Holy One, blessed be He, so  that He may destroy Israel from the world.  But the Seraphim know from the secrets of  the Holy One, blessed be He, that he desires  not, that this people Israel should perish.  What do the Seraphim? Every day do they  receive (accept) them from the hand of  Satan and burn them in the burning fire over  against the high and exalted Throne in order  that they may not come before the Holy  One, blessed be He, at the time when he is  sitting upon the Throne of Judg

A Prayer for Leaders

Psalm 18:43-49 [43] You have delivered me from the attacks of the people;     you have made me the head of nations. People I did not know now serve me, [44] foreigners cower before me;     as soon as they hear of me, they obey me. [45] They all lose heart;     they come trembling from their strongholds. [46] The Lord lives! Praise be to my Rock!     Exalted be God my Savior! [47] He is the God who avenges me,     who subdues nations under me, [48] who saves me from my enemies. You exalted me above my foes;     from a violent man you rescued me. [49] Therefore I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;     I will sing the praises of your name. --------------------- Keep the Faith. Best regards, Bro. Rontabs, N.D.S.M.D.

A Prayer to Help You be Humble

Psalm 18:25-29 [25] To the faithful you show yourself faithful,     to the blameless you show yourself blameless, [26] to the pure you show yourself pure,     but to the devious you show yourself shrewd. [27] You save the humble     but bring low those whose eyes are haughty. [28] You, Lord, keep my lamp burning;     my God turns my darkness into light. [29] With your help I can advance against a troop;     with my God I can scale a wall. ------------------------ Keep the Faith. Best regards, Bro. Rontabs, N.D.S.M.D.

How not to die

Romans 8:8-13 [8] Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God. [9] You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. [10] But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. [11] And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you. [12] Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it. [13] For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live. ----------------------------- Keep the Faith. Best regards, Bro. Rontabs, N.D.S.M.D.

Innate

Romans 7:18-25 [18] For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. [19] For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. [20] Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it. [21] So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. [22] For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; [23] but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. [24] What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? [25] Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! -------------------------- Keep the Faith. Best regards, Bro. Rontabs, N.D.S.M.D.

Androgyny

Isaiah 66:12-14 [12] For this is what the Lord says: “I will extend peace to her like a river,     and the wealth of nations like a flooding stream; you will nurse and be carried on her arm     and dandled on her knees. [13] As a mother comforts her child,     so will I comfort you;     and you will be comforted over Jerusalem.” [14] When you see this, your heart will rejoice     and you will flourish like grass; the hand of the Lord will be made known to his servants,     but his fury will be shown to his foes. ------------------------------ Keep the Faith. Best regards, Bro. Rontabs, N.D.S.M.D.

Matriarch

1 Thessalonians 2:6-9 [6] We were not looking for praise from people, not from you or anyone else, even though as apostles of Christ we could have asserted our authority. [7] Instead, we were like young children among you. Just as a nursing mother cares for her children, [8] so we cared for you. Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well. [9] Surely you remember, brothers and sisters, our toil and hardship; we worked night and day in order not to be a burden to anyone while we preached the gospel of God to you. -------------------------------- Also see: Patriarch -------------------------------- Keep the Faith.

A Prayer to Protect You from the Arrogant

Psalm 17:6-14 [6] I call on you, my God, for you will answer me;     turn your ear to me and hear my prayer. [7] Show me the wonders of your great love,     you who save by your right hand     those who take refuge in you from their foes. [8] Keep me as the apple of your eye;     hide me in the shadow of your wings [9] from the wicked who are out to destroy me,     from my mortal enemies who surround me. [10] They close up their callous hearts,     and their mouths speak with arrogance. [11] They have tracked me down, they now surround me,     with eyes alert, to throw me to the ground. [12] They are like a lion hungry for prey,     like a fierce lion crouching in cover. [13] Rise up, Lord, confront them, bring them down;     with your sword rescue me from the wicked. [14] By your hand save me from such people, Lord,     from those of this world whose reward is in this life. May what you have stored up for the wicked fill their bellies;     may their children gorge themselves on it,

Beyond Good and Evil

2 Samuel 24:1-3 ( Version 1 ) [1] Again the anger of the Lord burned against Israel, and he incited David against them, saying, “Go and take a census of Israel and Judah.” [2] So the king said to Joab and the army commanders with him, “Go throughout the tribes of Israel from Dan to Beersheba and enroll the fighting men, so that I may know how many there are.” [3] But Joab replied to the king, “May the Lord your God multiply the troops a hundred times over, and may the eyes of my lord the king see it.

A Prayer to Protect Us From the Wicked

Psalm 10:1-15 [1] Why, Lord, do you stand far off?     Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble? [2] In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak,     who are caught in the schemes he devises. [3] He boasts about the cravings of his heart;     he blesses the greedy and reviles the Lord. [4] In his pride the wicked man does not seek him;     in all his thoughts there is no room for God. [5] His ways are always prosperous;     your laws are rejected by him;     he sneers at all his enemies. [6] He says to himself, “Nothing will ever shake me.”     He swears, “No one will ever do me harm.” [7] His mouth is full of lies and threats;     trouble and evil are under his tongue. [8] He lies in wait near the villages;     from ambush he murders the innocent. His eyes watch in secret for his victims; [9]     like a lion in cover he lies in wait. He lies in wait to catch the helpless;     he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net. [10] His victims are crushed, they collapse

Others will think we are insane

Acts 26:22-25 [22] But God has helped me to this very day; so I stand here and testify to small and great alike.

People Change

Acts 26:9-18 [9] “I too was convinced that I ought to do all that was possible to oppose the name of Jesus of Nazareth. [10] And that is just what I did in Jerusalem. On the authority of the chief priests I put many of the Lord’s people in prison, and when they were put to death, I cast my vote against them. [11] Many a time I went from one synagogue to another to have them punished, and I tried to force them to blaspheme. I was so obsessed with persecuting them that I even hunted them down in foreign cities. [12] “On one of these journeys I was going to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests. [13] About noon, King Agrippa, as I was on the road, I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, blazing around me and my companions.

It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’ [15] “Then I asked, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ “ ‘I am Jesus, whom you are per

Banish them for their many sins,     for they have rebelled against you. [11] But let all who take refuge in you be glad;     let them ever
