THE WORD OF GOD IS GOD HIMSELF



WORSHIP HIM IN


 IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD
AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD
AND THE WORD WAS GOD
HE WAS WITH GOD IN THE BEGINNING
THROUGH HIM ALL THINGS WERE MADE
WITHOUT HIM NOTHING WAS MADE
THAT HAS BEEN MADE
 IN THE PAST GOD SPOKE TO OUR FOREFATHERS 
BY THE PROPHETS…
BUT IN THESE LAST DAYS 
HE HAS SPOKEN TO US BY HIS SON
 THROUGH WHOM HE MADE THE UNIVERSE
THE WORD BECAME FLESH AND DWELT AMONG US
AND WE BEHELD HIS GLORY
AS OF THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD 
FULL OF GRACE AND TRUTH
HE WAS IN THE WORLD
  AND THOUGH THE WORLD WAS MADE THROUGH HIM
THE WORLD DID NOT RECOGNISE HIM
HE CAME TO THAT WHICH WAS HIS OWN
BUT HIS OWN DID NOT RECEIVE HIM
YET TO ALL WHO RECEIVED HIM
TO THOSE WHO BELIEVED IN HIS NAME
HE GAVE THE RIGHT TO BECOME CHILDREN OF GOD

 FOR IN CHRIST
ALL THE FULLNESS OF THE DEITY 

LIVES IN BODILY FORM


JESUS, WHO BEING IN VERY NATURE GOD
DID NOT CONSIDER EQUALITY WITH GOD
SOMETHING TO BE GRASPED
BUT MADE HIMSELF NOTHING
 TAKING THE VERY NATURE OF A SERVANT
BEING MADE IN HUMAN LIKENESS
AND BEING FOUND IN APPEARANCE AS A MAN
HE HUMBLED HIMSELF




















AND BECAME OBEDIENT TO DEATH -
EVEN DEATH ON A CROSS!
 THEREFORE GOD EXALTED HIM
TO THE HIGHEST PLACE
AND GAVE HIM THE NAME
THAT IS ABOVE EVERY NAME

THAT AT THE NAME OF JESUS
EVERY KNEE SHOULD BOW
IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH AND UNDER THE EARTH
AND EVERY TONGUE CONFESS
THAT JESUS CHRIST IS LORD
TO THE GLORY OF GOD THE FATHER

THAT POWER IS LIKE THE WORKING OF GOD'S MIGHTY STRENGTH, WHICH HE EXERTED IN CHRIST WHEN HE RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD
AND SEATED HIM AT HIS RIGHT HAND IN THE HEAVENLY REALMS
FAR ABOVE ALL RULE AND AUTHORITY, POWER AND DOMINION, AND ABOVE EVERY TITLE THAT CAN BE GIVEN
THAT AT THE NAME OF JESUS
DEMONS FALL AND DEVILS FLEE
JESUS IS DRESSED IN A ROBE DIPPED IN BLOOD
AND HIS NAME IS
THE WORD OF GOD
ON HIS ROBE AND ON HIS THIGH 
HE HAS THIS NAME WRITTEN
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS         
FOR GOD WAS PLEASED TO HAVE ALL

HIS FULLNESS DWELL IN HIM


AND THROUGH HIM TO RECONCILE TO HIMSELF
ALL THINGS
WHETHER THINGS ON EARTH OR THINGS IN HEAVEN
BY MAKING PEACE THROUGH HIS BLOOD
SHED ON THE CROSS

WE OVERCOME THE DEVIL
BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB
AND THE WORD OF OUR TESTIMONY
 WHO IS HE THAT OVERCOMES?
ONLY HE WHO BELIEVES IN JESUS CHRIST
BE OF GOOD CHEER
FOR HE HAS OVERCOME THIS WORLD
