1 Chronicles 22: 19 (NAS)
Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God; arise, therefore, and build the sanctuary of the LORD God, so that you may bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and the holy vessels of God into the house that is to be built for the name of the LORD.

1 Chronicles 22: 19 (NLT)
Now seek the LORD your God with all your heart. Build the sanctuary of the LORD God so that you can bring the Ark of the LORD’s covenant and the holy vessels of God into the Temple built to honor the LORD’s name.

You have devoted and dedicated your heart and soul to the Lord Jesus and have made Adonai your God. He is the center of your thinking, reflection, and memory. He is the One who makes you resolute and determined, but also arouses your emotions and passion. Your conscience is tender because of the knowledge and understanding that you have of the Most High God. Therefore, since prayer and worship are a part of your lifestyle, continue to seek Him and His will with care.

You know that you have been established and confirmed in the Lord. He has caused you to arise, stand and endure, so that you would be positioned to build His family and His house. It is your honor to bring others into His sanctuary. You help gather His lost sheep and lead them into His ark of safety and His covenant of peace. Like you, they become holy vessels that hold the very presence of God. And like you, they have been made complete, and are no longer wasted and exhausted.

Now you and so many others live to bring glory to the name of the Lord. You exalt His fame and reputation, for you are a reflection of Jehovah. When others see you, they remember Adonai

1 Corinthians 1:5 (NAS)
that in everything you were enriched in Him, in all speech and all knowledge,

1 Corinthians 1:5 (Philips)
For, as the Christian message has become established among you, he has enriched your whole lives, from the words on your lips to the understanding in your hearts.

1 Corinthians 1:5 (NLT)
He has enriched your church with the gifts of eloquence and every kind of knowledge.

Once you were poor, with no hope of your life ever changing, but then you gave Jesus control. He became your Lord, your Messiah. Now you are richer than you ever imagined. He has given you an abundance and wealth, both physically and spiritually. It is His desire to continue to give you every good thing. He wants to fill you completely, so that you are fulfilled in every way.

Now you speak often of what the Lord Jesus has done for you. He has made your voice, which used to speak only death, a living thing. The faith filled words that come forth from your mouth bring life into your circumstances. You see growth and prosperity in all.

You have gained an understanding and intimacy with Adonai that you did not have previously. You know that it is His heart's desire to bless His people. As one of His own, you are in line to receive His abundance. Therefore, as you bring your heart and your mouth into agreement with God's word, Yeshua will give and supply all that you need and desire.

John 1:16, 17 (NAS)

For of His fulness we have all received, and grace upon grace.For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.

John 1:16, 17 (Philips)

Indeed, every one of us has shared in his riches—there is a grace in our lives because of his grace.For while the Law was given by Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

John 1:16, 17 (NLT)

We have all benefited from the rich blessings he brought to us—one gracious blessing after another. For the law was given through Moses; God’s unfailing love and faithfulness came through Jesus Christ.

You have been filled with the presence, power, and riches of God in Christ Jesus. He has given you completeness and abundance. He has furnished you with all you need and you are liberally supplied. You want nothing and have been rendered perfect. You will carry through what you have been given. You will accomplish all. executing all of your duties under the power and influence of the Holy Spirit.

You have been given grace and your life is one that affords joy, pleasure, and delight. You have Adonai's good will, loving-kindness, and favor. Through God's mercy, you are strengthened and kept. Daily your faith and knowledge increases. You are empowered by the Lord's divine grace and recompensed and rewarded in His service. In this you exceedingly rejoice and are glad. He has caused you to be well and thrive. Not only do you receive this grace once, but you also receive grace upon grace upon grace. You are never lacking in what Jesus bestows freely.

You know that Adonai established His law through Moses. He first brought God's commands to mankind. Formerly, only those who observed and kept these divine precepts were accepted and approved of by the Lord.

However, the Lord God desired more to be His children than could keep His laws. He, therefore, gave His grace to you through His Son, Yeshua, the Anointed One. Now you understand the truth of those things appertaining to God. You know what your moral and religious duties are. You perceive and understand that Adonai executed His purposes and will through Jesus Christ. You now live in personal excellence and are free from any pretense, falsehood, or deceit, for Jesus has saved you.

For the report of your obedience has reached to all; therefore I am rejoicing over you, but I want you to be wise in what is good, and innocent in what is evil.
Romans 16:19 (Philips)
Your loyalty to the gospel is known everywhere, and that gives me great joy. I want to see you experts in good, and not even beginners in evil.
Romans 16:19 (NLT)
But everyone knows that you are obedient to the Lord. This makes me very happy. I want you to see clearly what is right and to stay innocent of any wrong.

You have proven yourself to be obedient, compliant, and submissive to the Lord your God. You carefully listen for His knock at the door, so that you can quickly answer His every command. You are not deaf to what Jesus says; you attend to His words with comprehension, understanding, and perception.

Others know of your intimacy with Jehovah and how you have sought to become His follower, while enduring many hardships. This has made you fit, with sufficient ability, to do all that He requires. Your commitment causes others to rejoice and be glad.
