Over all”                                                                                                                                           1 Chronicles 29:11

Majesty is over Israel=WHOSE POWER=is in

The heavens”                                                                                                                                  Psalm 68:34

Of the earth”                                                                                                                                          Acts 1:8

 

“For I am not ashamed=of the gospel=because it is

THE POWER OF GOD=that brings salvation=to

Everyone who believes=First to the Jew=then to

The Gentile”                                                                                                                                    Romans 1:16

 

“I want to know=Christ=Yes to know=THE POWER

Of the resurrection=and participation by

His sufferings=becoming like him=in his death

 

And so somehow=attaining to the resurrection

From the dead”                                                                                                                                   Philippians 3:10-11
