Matthew 13:10-15
10 Then the disciples came and said to him, “Why do you speak to them in
parables?” 11 And he answered them, “To you it has been given to know the
secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. 12 For to the
one who has, more will be given, and he will have an abundance, but from the one
who has not, even what he has will be taken away. 13 This is why I speak to them
in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do
they understand. 14 Indeed, in their case the prophecy
of Isaiah is fulfilled that says:
“‘“You will indeed hear but never understand,
and you will indeed see but never perceive.”
15 For this people's heart has grown dull,
and with their ears they can barely hear,
and their eyes they have closed,
lest they should see with their eyes
and hear with their ears
and understand with their heart
and turn, and I would heal them.’

Galatians 3
You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your
very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. 2 I
would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive
the Spirit by the works of the law, or by believing what you
heard? 3 Are you so foolish? After beginning by means of the
Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh?
4 Have you experienced so much in vain…?

that we believe we

God Favored Me

20. and the Gospel of Jesus Christ
This is my testimony everybody,
how God favored me in spite of my
enemies, and if God did it for me
he'll do the same thing for you.
Don't worry about your haters.
Your haters can't do nothing with
you. Listen to these words…

21. and the Gospel of Jesus Christ
Love is patient, caring. Love is Kind.
Love is felt most when it's genuine, but
I've had my share of love abused,
manipulated, and it's strength misused,
and I can't help but give you glory
when I think about my story, and I
know you favored me because my
enemies did try but couldn't triumph
over me. Yes they did try, but couldn't
triumph over me.

22. and the Gospel of Jesus Christ
I'm still here, I'm still alive, I'm still
blessed, on my way to
My destiny, because the favor of
God is on my life.
Let me tell you about love.

23. and the Gospel of Jesus Christ
Love is patient, caring. Love is Kind.
Love is felt most when it's genuine, but
I've had my share of love abused,
manipulated, and it's strength misused,
and I can't help but give you glory,
When I think about my story, and I
know you favored me because my
enemies did try but couldn't triumph
over me. Yes they did try, but couldn't
triumph over me.

24. and the Gospel of Jesus Christ
They whispered, conspired, they told
their lies (God favors me)
My character, my integrity, my faith in
God (He favors me)
Will not fall, will not bend, won't
compromise (God favors me)
I speak life and prosperity and I speak
health (God favors me)

Back ii eden

27. and the Gospel of Jesus Christ
When God made man, He made a
spirit. It was His plan that we live
blessed. The tempter came we were
distracted. The tempter came and we
fell. We were deemed to live a life
that's beautiful; a life that's full; a life
that's rich and plentiful. It is my goal to
remind you of this principle, you're
redeemed; a newborn soul. Let's get
back to Eden; live on top of the world.

28. and the Gospel of Jesus Christ
Well now it's time we change our
thinking, know our design, and our
Father's plan. Oh yes it's time, we get
back to kingdom. Now is the time, we
take our stand. We were deemed to
live a life that's beautiful; a life that's
full; a life that's rich and plentiful. It is
my goal to remind you of this principle,
you're redeemed; a newborn soul.
Let's get back to Eden; live on top of
the world.

29. and the Gospel of Jesus Christ
Our families blessed; finances blessed,
our mind and spirit; and our bodies
blessed. We were tempted and we fell.
Jesus came now all is well.
Let's get back to Eden; live on top of
the world.
Live [repeat]
Live, Live on top of the world [repeat]
Live on top of the world [repeat]

47. "Harry looked under the sink where Myrtle was pointing. A small, thin book lay there. It had a
shabby black cover and was as wet as everything else in the bathroom. Harry stepped forward
to pick it up, but Ron suddenly flung out an arm to hold him back.
"What?" said Harry
"Are you crazy?" said Ron. "It could be dangerous."
"Dangerous?" said Harry, laughing. "Come off it, how could it be dangerous?"
"You'd be surprised," said Ron, who was looking apprehensively at the book. "Some of the books
the Ministry's confiscated - Dad's told me -there was one that burned your eyes out. And
everyone who read Sonnets of a Sorcerer spoke in limericks for the rest of their lives. And some
old witch in Bath had a book that you could never stop reading! You had to just wander around
with your nose in it, trying to do everything one-handed. And -"
"All right, I've got the point," said Harry.
The little book lay on the floor, nondescript and soggy.
"Well, we won't find out unless we look at it," he said, and he ducked around Ron and picked it
up off the floor" (Chamber, pages 230-231)
