I thought it would be nice to have a thread were we could post some of our favorite scripture.

Proverbs 16:3
Commit your works to the Lord and your thoughts will be established.

Isaiah 45:8

Let the earth open, let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together. I the Lord have created it.

Proverbs 3:27&28

Do not say to your neighbor "Go and come back, and tomorrow I will give it" When you have it with you.

Ecc 3:14&15
I know that whatever God does, it shall be forever
Nothing can be added to it, and nothing taken away from it.
God does it, that men should fear before Him.
That which is has already been
And what is to be has already been,
And God requires an account of what is past.

Hosea 10:12
Sow for yourself righteousness, Reap in mercy, Break up your fallow ground, For it is time to seek the Lord, Till He comes and rains righteousness on you.

Lamentations 3:22-26
Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not.
They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness
"The Lord is my portion," says my soul, "Therefore I hope in Him!"

Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?

Eph 3:9
And to make all [men] see what [is] the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

(1 Corinthians 13:1-3 NKJV) Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. {2} And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. {3} And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.

Brother Godssoldier, know that you are on my home prayer list.

May God keep His angels of protection upon you...

Thankyou angelheart.

Matthew 22
37 Jesus said to him , "' You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul,and with all your mind .'
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like it: ' You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'
40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.

Isaiah
58:9
Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;
58:10
And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday:
58:11
And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
58:12
And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.

Isaiah
54:17
No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.

James 2.13: "For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. Mercy rejoices against judgment."

Galatians 5.22-23: "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faith, meekness, self-control. Against such there is no law."

1 John 5.2: "By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments."

Revelation 22.14-15: "Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the Tree of Life [Jesus], and may enter through the gates into the City [New Jerusalem - vs 21.2]. But outside are dogs and sorcerers [Harry Potter] and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie."

Joh 15:13
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.


Pr 17:17
A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him.
-- 2 CHRONICLES 16:9

By the way, I just love this Godsoldier. It is just uplifting and GREAT. Here are my favorites (King James):

1Thessalonians 2:8
So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us.

Colossians 4:6
Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.

Galatians 6:7
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

2Thessalonians 3:13
But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.

James 1:22-25
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

Proverbs 18:21
Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Lamentations 3:31 32
For the Lord will not cast off forever
Though He causes grief yet He will show compassion
according to the multitude of His mercies

Eph 5:8
For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord
walk as children of light.


Isaiah 28:5 6
In that day the Lord of hosts will be for a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty to the remnant of His people,
for a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, and strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.

Jeremiah 31:33 34
But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days says the Lord, I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts, and I will be their God and they shall be my people
No more shall every man teach his neighbor and every man teach his brother saying," Know the Lord" for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord
for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will rember no more

My favorite scripture is psalms 23. the enire thing is beautiful.

I read all of these wonderful scriptures, and of course they are all wonderful! Did you really mean "what scriptures that speak to a person or which ones are your favorites?

I can do favorites:

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven....and the rest!

My grace is sufficient for thee.

On these two all of the commands lay: Love the Lord thy God with all of your spirit, mind and soul, and thy neighbor as thyself.

And, how about, if you have not love, you are likened to a clanging bell

Get thee Wisdom for she holds the tree of life within her hand

The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Well, I could probably go on and on, but these are ones that came to thought. Sorry, I don't know the exact numerics of the scriptures or even where some lay, but I know you all are smart enough to know "which scriptures I am referring to" amen.

May the Lord keep "everyone" under His care and protection, amen. In Jesus' name I pray. YSIC hannah fievel

I have a really hard time picking just one... my favorites are Psalms 23, Psalms 91 and Isaiah 54. They just speak to my spirit so and strengthen me when things seem to be crashing in on every side!

I especially love to read them in different versions...and become overwhelmingly saturated in merely the finite, limited human knowledge of just how much He loves me...and us all!!!!!


All love in Him!!!

Dear Godssoldier,

Thankyou for your prayers.

Amos 3:3
Can two walk together, except they be agreed?


Proverbs 9
7 He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot. 8 Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee. 9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning. 10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

Matthew 5
21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: 22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, [3] shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. 23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; 24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.


Matthew 18
15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. 16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.

Matthew 10
11 And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence. 12 And when ye come into an house, salute it. 13 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. 14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. 15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.

The scripture reminds me of when I was in the old former soviet union,In a place called Noverasiski(spelling probally not correct).......I was about to board the s.s. Transeastern, and I sat on the foot of the gangway, and took my boots off and shook the dust off them......the soviet soldier from a distance was probally tring to figure out what I was doing................................................benny

Isaiah 58
8 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the Lord shall be thy rereward. 9 Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity; 10 And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday: 11 And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, [5] and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. 12 And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.

"O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

You have set your glory above the heavens. From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?

You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor.

You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet: all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.

Oh Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!"

Psalm 8

Surely this is the best verse in the Bible:

Rev 22:3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:

Weird.. I thought it was this one: "Blessed are they that are bidden to the marriage supper of the Lamb." cuz I am HUNgry!

(wonder if they'll have pizza in heaven?)

Lamentations 3

21 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
22 It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
24 The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
25 The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
26 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord.
27 It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
28 He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him.
29 He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope.
30 He giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach.
31 For the Lord will not cast off for ever:
32 But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.
33 For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men.

Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came unto me, and his countenance [was] like the countenance of an angel of God, very terrible: but I asked him not whence he [was], neither told he me his name:

And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, I pray thee, let us detain thee, until we shall have made ready a kid for thee.

And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread: and if thou wilt offer a burnt offering, thou must offer it unto the LORD. For Manoah knew not that he [was] an angel of the LORD.

And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, What [is] thy name, that when thy sayings come to pass we may do thee honour?

And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it [is] secret?

So Manoah took a kid with a meat offering, and offered [it] upon a rock unto the LORD: and [the angel] did wondrously; and Manoah and his wife looked on.

For it came to pass, when the flame went up toward heaven from off the altar, that the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the altar. And Manoah and his wife looked on [it], and fell on their faces to the ground.

Judges 13:6-20

Isaiah 45
22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.

Psalm 91
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust.
For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover thee with his pinions, And under his wings shalt thou take refuge: His truth is a shield and a buckler.
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, Nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
For the pestilence that walketh in darkness, Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
A thousand shall fall at thy side, And ten thousand at thy right hand; But it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, And see the reward of the wicked.
For thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge! Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation;
There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.
For he will give his angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways.
They shall bear thee up in their hands, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: The young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under foot.
Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble: I will deliver him, and honor him.
With long life will I satisfy him, And show him my salvation.

Amen
This is also known as the soldiers prayer.

Soldiers prayer, eh?

This passage is specifically about Jesus. The following verse is the one satan took out of context to tempt the Lord in the wilderness, regarding what was written about him.

For he will give his angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways.
They shall bear thee up in their hands, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone

Luk 4:9 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:


Luk 4:10 For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:


Luk 4:11 And in [their] hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.


Luk 4:12 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

The clever part that satan omitted was "in all thy ways" and it is not the way of God to fall to a temptation from satan.
