MESSAGE SERIES:
By H. Pitts Evans
Heb 12:22 But you have come to Mount Zion, to the heavenly
Jerusalem, the city of the living God. You have come to thousands
upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly, 23 to the church of
the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven. You have come
to God, the judge of all men, to the spirits of righteous men made
perfect, 24 to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, NIV

I.
Deut 33:2 And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up
from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he
came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery
law for them. 3 Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy
hand: and they sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy
words. KJV
Ps 89:5 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Lord: thy
faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints. 6 For who in
the heaven can be compared unto the Lord? Who among the sons
of the mighty can be likened unto the Lord? 7 God is greatly to be
feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of
all them that are about him. KJV
II.
Dan 7:9a As I looked, thrones were set in place, and the Ancient
of Days took his seat10b The court was seated, and the books
were opened13 In my vision at night I looked, and there before
me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven.
He approached the Ancient of Days.
Dan 7:18 But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom,
and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever7:21 I
beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed
against them; 22 Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment (a
verdict) was given to the saints of the most High; and the time
came that the saints possessed the kingdom.7:25 And he shall
speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the
saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and
they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the
dividing of time. 26 But the judgment shall sit, (the court will
sit NIV),27 And the kingdom and dominion, shall be given
to the people of the saints of the most High, KJV

III.
Ps 149:5 Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud
upon their beds. 6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth,
and a two edged sword in their hand; 7 To execute vengeance
upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; 8 To bind
their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; 9 To
execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all
his saints. Praise ye the Lord.
Jude 14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of
these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his
saints, 15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that
are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they
have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which
ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
1 Cor 6:2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world?
And if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to
judge the smallest matters? 3 Know ye not that we shall judge
angels? How much more things that pertain to this life?

Eph 2:4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is
rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we
were dead in transgressions it is by grace you have been
saved.
God has raised me up in Christ and seated me with Him in
heavenly realms, so He can show off His kindness and the
incomparable riches of His grace toward me, in the ages to
come.
Eph 2:6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us
with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order
that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable
riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ
Jesus.
I am already saved by grace through faith, which is a free gift
from God. I thank God for this wonderful gift that I now have.
Eph 2:8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through
faith and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God
9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
I am Gods workmanship and He created me in Christ Jesus to
do good works that He has prepared in advance exclusively for
me.
Eph 2:10 For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ
Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for
us to do.
I am no longer far away from God, because I have been
brought into His presence through the blood of Jesus Christ.
Eph 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far
away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.
