Siesta Scripture Memory Team Verse 18!
Hey, my fellow Scripture-memory buddies!
It’s Tuesday and that means it's Bible study day for us at LPM. I don’t get to tarry, but trust me when I tell you I wouldn’t forget you for anything. I think of you continually, especially when I’m practicing my verses. We’re on the 18th Scripture out of 24! I can’t believe it! I have chosen my verse this time based on our Tuesday lecture study of the Book of Revelation. I wish so much we were all going through this series together. I would so dearly love to look across that sanctuary and see the faces of women I’ve come to know by bloggerly terms of endearment
like…

Michellemabelle (I sing the song every time I see one of your comments. Btw, I know you are doing A Heart Like His and I want to apologize for my hair. It’s even too big for my taste and my bangs looks like I’m covering a long, diagonal scar on my forehead. I took over my own coiffing soon after that. Big hair is a delicate thing. A very personal thing. One can only do it herself and have confidence.)
Georgia Jan (whose personal friendship I’d never have known apart from Siestaville!)
And “mama”s of all sorts: Moose Mama, Longmeadow Mama, and Lemonade Making Mama, to name just a few. You, Big Mama, and Boomama inspired my own admittedly uncreative but joyfully descriptive name, Siesta Mama.
You may as well know that if you don’t have a picture and if I’ve never had the pleasure of meeting you face-to-face, I, visual person that I am, have conjured up my own snapshot of you based on your blogger name that pops into my head every time I see your ID. It’s a risk, is all I’m saying.
OK, I’m losing focus. You guys do that to me constantly. Back to my memory verse. I have chosen Revelation 17:14 because one of the commentators I’m studying, W. Hendriksen, Th.D., who wrote a 1939 classic called More Than Conquerors, says the entire Book of Revelation can be summed up in that one verse. I loved it and thought, even based on my non-scholarly experience with the Book, how right he is! As a result, I’ve challenged my whole class to memorize it, too. So, if you’re one of our Home Girls, this probably needs to be your verse! As for the rest of you, it’s a wonderful thing to know in advance and in these times in which we live, no matter how “they” make war against the Lamb, He WILL overcome. There is only one Lord of lords and King of kings.
Revelation 17:14 (NIV)
"They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because He is Lord of lords and King of kings--and with Him will be His called, chosen and faithful followers."
Take heart, Siestas! He has overcome the world!
Love, Beth

Galatians 4:9 NASB
But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how is it that you turn your back again to the weak and worthless elemental things, to which you desire to be enslaved all over agai?
Galatians 5:1 NASB
It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.

Romans 12:1-5 (NIV)
1 Therefore, I urge you brothers, in view of GOD's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to GOD- this is your spiritual act of worship.
2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what GOD's will is-his good pleasing and perfect will.
3 For by the grace given me I say to everyone of you; Do not think of yourselves more highly than you ought but rather think of yourselves with sober judgement, in accordance with the measure of faith GOD has given you.
4 Just as each one of us has one body with many members and these members do not all have the same function,
5 So in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.

For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "YES" in Christ. And so through him the "AMEN" is spoken by us to the glory of God. Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hears as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.

I have asked the students in my college classes to join me in memorizing scripture. I made a bulletin board for them to post their verses. They are really responding. I just wanted you to know what impact this is having on people who don't even read your blog.
I knew this was going to be my verse the minute Beth told it to us at Bible study. It gives me chills every time I say it.

I get up at 6 am to do my bible study before my DH gets up at 630. I'm working through Daniel on my own (church did it several years ago) and The Inheritance with my local siestas.
Psalm 16:6 (ESV)
The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.
and still sprucing up Daniel 2:20-23 (ESV)
Daniel answered and said:
"Blessed be the name of God forever and ever,
to whom belong wisdom and might.
He changes times and seasons;
he removes kings and sets up kings;
he gives wisdom to the wise
and knowledge to those who have understanding;
he reveals deep and hidden things;
he knows what is in the darkness,
and the light dwells with him.
To you, O God of my fathers,
I give thanks and praise,
for you have given me wisdom and might,
and have made known to me what we asked of you,
for you have made known to us the king's matter."
Our help is in in the name of the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.
Psalms 124:8

"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future nor any powers
Neither height nor depth nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus"

Hi Everyone. Carolina Cheesehead here finally getting the guts to leave a comment after reading a few months. I'm just so impressed that Ms. Beth knows so many bloggers by name. Wow! It inspired me to finally jump in. We are starting Annointed, Transformed, Redeemed a week from tonight. I am the nervous facilitator so I came here this morning hoping to hear a word of encouragement and as always was not disappointed. You Moores encourage me so much and I have laughed so hard at your stories. Way better than watching "I Love Lucy" reruns as someone pointed out. Love you guys!

That power is like the working of his mighty strength, 20which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, 21far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the full armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.
