DEDICATION

¡°Set your hearts on all the words which I testify among you today, which you shall command your children to be careful to

observe¡ªall the words of this law. For it is not a futile thing for you, because it is your life, and by this word you shall

prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to possess.¡±

[Deut 32:46-47, Bible, NKJV]

"Not everyone who says to Me, ¡®Lord, Lord,¡¯ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in

heaven."

[Jesus in Matt. 7:21, Bible, NKJV]

"But why do you call Me ¡®Lord, Lord,¡¯ and not do the things which I say?"

[Luke 6:46, Bible, NKJV]

"My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.¡±

[Luke 8:21, Bible, NKJV]

"He who has [understands and learns] My commandments [laws in the Bible (OFFSITE LINK)] and keeps them, it is he

who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him."

[John 14:21, Bible, NKJV]

"And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love [obedience to God's

Laws] abides in [and is a FIDUCIARY of] God, and God in him."

[1 John 4:16, Bible, NKJV]

"Now by this we know that we know Him [God], if we keep His commandments. He who says, "I know Him," and does not

keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected

in him. By this we know that we are in Him [His fiduciaries]. He who says he abides in Him [as a fiduciary] ought himself

also to walk just as He [Jesus] walked."

[1 John 2:3-6, Bible, NKJV]

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his

commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth

[SOVEREIGN!]: And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy

God.

Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.

Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy

sheep.

Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.

Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.

The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and

flee before thee seven ways.

The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in

the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

The LORD shall establish thee an holy [sanctified] people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the

commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways.

And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee.

And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the

land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee.

The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine

hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.

And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath [SOVEREIGN!];

if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:

And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other

[government/political] gods to serve them.

[Deut. 28:1-14, Bible, NKJV]
