Introduction To God’s Magnificent Sevens One thing that has intrigued me the last few years in my Bible studying especially is all the sevens that I and others have found in the Bible. Of course, we all know the mainstream ones people talk about, such as Jesus’ seven I Ams in the Gospel of John; Jesus’ seven sayings from the cross; the seven churches, seals, trumpets and vials in the book of Revelation. Even though the word seven and sevens occur 54 times in Revelation, there are countless more, such as a word or phrase occurring seven times in that book (or a multiple of seven, which has the same symbolic meaning), seven people or groups in view, a passage having seven things happening in it, a sevenfold list given, seven names or types of statements, a sevenfold approach to the whole book. We can also find all of these and so many more in the Bible as a whole. Sevens (or a multiple of that number) means completion or perfection in the Bible. Often it is used to show a complete range ...

Upheld By The Lord Lifted up and carried, forever safe within God’s arms; Sheltered and protected, secure from all that might alarm. Borne upon Jesus’ shoulders, precious sheep within the fold; Held closely to His bosom, which God’s mighty arms enfold. Upheld by the loving Shepherd, He will help and He will save; Your name is there upon His lips, on His hands you are engraved. Fear not, child of God - Jesus will never fail you, nor forsake; He’s pledged to watch over you - His promises He will never break. The Lord is with you, He will strengthen you, draw you with cords of love; Reaching down from Heaven, filled with countless blessings from above; Clasping tightly to your hand, your Saviour will never let you go; He will give you the grace to stand, regardless of any foe. Mounting high above the world, held aloft by eagle’s wings, Underneath are everlasting arms, in His presence your soul sings; Embraced within this shelter, there’s renewed strength for those who wait; Reaching down ...

Are You Washed In The Blood? (Hymn by Elisha Hoffman) Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing pow'r? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?   Chorus: Are you washed in the blood, In the soul-cleansing blood of the Lamb? Are your garments spotless? Are they white as snow? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Are you walking daily by the Savior's side? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Do you rest each moment in the Crucified? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? When the Bridegroom cometh will your robes be white? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Will your soul be ready for the mansions bright, and be washed in the blood of the Lamb? Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin. Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? There’s a fountain flowing for the soul unclean. O be washed in the blood of the Lamb!

 Once For All (Hymn written by Philip P. Bliss) Free from the law, oh, happy condition! Jesus has bled, and there is remission; Cursed by the law and bruised by the fall, Grace has redeemed us once for all. Refrain: Once for all, oh, sinner receive it; Once for all, oh, child, believe it; Cling to the cross, the burden will fall; Christ has redeemed us, once for all. Now we are free, there's no condemnation; Jesus provides a perfect salvation; Come unto me, oh, hear His sweet call; Come, and he saves us, once for all. Children of God! oh, glorious calling! Surely His grace will keep us from falling, Passing from death to life at His call; Blessed salvation, once for all. Seven times in Hebrews 9-10, it states that Jesus’ sacrifice for our sins is once for all, one sacrifice forever: Hebrews 9:12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place , having obtained eternal redemption for us. Hebrews 9:26 For then must he often have...

  Great is Thy Faithfulness (Words by Thomas O. Chisholm) Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my father! There is no shadow of turning with Thee; Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not: As thou hast been Thou forever wilt be. Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest, Sun, moon and stars in their courses above, Join with all nature in manifold witness To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love. Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth. Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide, Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside! Chorus: Great is Thy faithfulness, Great is Thy faithfulness, Morning by morning new mercies I see: All I have needed Thy hand hath provided Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto me!

God Is Still God Through every great blessing, through every sore trial, God is still God - He’s working in your heart all the while. Through every heartache, through every cry and tear, God is still God, and your Redeemer is always near. Through every dark time, through every refining season, Jesus knows the answers even when you don’t know the reason. When life is so difficult, and all things seem to oppose, The Lord opens the doors you thought were forever closed. Through every affliction, through every dread and fear, The God of all comfort is with you, and He will always hear. Just trust your Shepherd fully, through each and every day; In the struggles you face, the Lord will always make a way. When nothing seems to be working right, and clouds darken your view, Remember God is still God - and He is still good to you. The Lord gives blessings to us, and the same Lord takes away; God still loves you, and He is still God at the end of the day. God will surely lead you; the Shepherd ...
