1 Chronicles 28:9-10
[9]¶ And thou, Solomon my sonne, know thou the God of thy father, and serue him with a perfite heart, and with a willing minde: for the Lord searcheth all hearts, and vnderstandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seeke him, he will be found of thee, but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for euer.
[10]Take heed now, for the Lord hath chosen thee to builde an house for the Sanctuarie: be strong, and doe it.

[14]If my people which are called by my Name, shall humble themselues and pray, and seeke my face, and turne from their wicked wayes: then will I heare from heauen, and will forgiue their sinne, and will heale their land.

(Part 2) InLightenment. The Completely Holy Mind! Full of Light, Having No Part dark!
Luke 11:34-36
[34]The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.
[35]Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.
[36]If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light. Ephesians 1:17-23
[17]That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
[18]The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
[19]And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
[20]Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
[21]Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
[22]And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
[23]Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
Psalms 119:105
[105]NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
John 5:41,44
[41]I receive not honour from men.
[44]How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?
Psalms 119:130,133-135
[130]The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.
[133]Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
[134]Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts.
[135]Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes.
John 3:17-21
[17]For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
[18]He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
[19]And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
[20]For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
[21]But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
John 8:12
[12]Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
John 9:4-5,10-11,24-33
[4]I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
[5]As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
[10]Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?
[11]He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.
[24]Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.
[25]He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
[26]Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?
[27]He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?
[28]Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses’ disciples.
[29]We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is.
[30]The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.
[31]Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
[32]Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.
[33]If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.
(Part 3)
The Terror of The Lord!
Facing The Judgment!
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
[13]Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
[14]For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
2 Corinthians 5:10-11
[10]For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
[11]Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.
Daniel 9:3-4
[3]And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:
[4]And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;
Malachi 4:5-6
[5]Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
[6]And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
Deuteronomy 7:21
[21]Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the LORD thy God is among you, a mighty God and terrible. Deuteronomy 10:17
[17]For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:
Nehemiah 1:5
[5]And said, I beseech thee, O LORD God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments:
Nehemiah 9:32
[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.
Job 37:22
[22]Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God is terrible majesty.
Psalms 66:3-7
[3]Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.
[4]All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah.
[5]Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.
[6]He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.
[7]He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah. Psalms 68:32-33
[32]Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah:
[33]To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.
2 Samuel 22:6-16,22,29-35,37-43,48-50
[6]The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me;
[7]In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.
[8]Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.
[9]There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
[10]He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.
[11]And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind.
[12]And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies.
[13]Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled.
[14]The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice.
[15]And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.
[16]And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
[22]For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
[29]For thou art my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness.
[30]For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.
[31]As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.
[32]For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God?
[33]God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.
[34]He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet: and setteth me upon my high places.
[35]He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
[37]Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.
[38]I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.
[39]And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.
[40]For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me.
[41]Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
[42]They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
[43]Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad.
[48]It is God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people under me,
[49]And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.
[50]Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name.
