1Samuel 16:7: “But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for [the LORD seeth] not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.” With very few exceptions every modern
Daniel 6:3: “Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes because an excellent spirit was in him and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.” In Daniel 12 we learn that Daniel was granted privileged information that was to be sealed up until the end of times. What
Amos 4:4: “Come to Bethel, and transgress, To Gilgal, and multiply transgressions: And bring your sacrifices in the morning. And your tithes after three days. Well, there is a lot of revival buzz going on in the Midwest. As I understand this revival began with an unassuming Amish man in Indiana, just your average Joe,

Ecclesiastes 12:14: “Because God will bring every act to judgment, everything which is hidden, whether it is good or evil.” It is interesting that the word for God is haelohim and has an article in front of it. It should more properly be rendered as Because The God. This word for God haelohim

Ezekiel 18:31 “Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby you have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit; for why will ye die, O House of Israel?” I don’t know about you but there are certain transgressions that I keep casting away and then like I am fly fishing
