They will not labor in vain nor give birth for calamity; for they are the offspring of Yahweh’s blessed and their descendants with them.

The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” He who hears, let him say, “Come!” He who is thirsty, let him come. He who desires, let him take the water of life freely.

They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun strike them: for he who has mercy on them will lead them. He will guide them by springs of water.

Their offspring will be known among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples. All who see them will acknowledge them, that they are the offspring which Yahweh has blessed.”

When an unclean spirit has gone out of a man, he passes through waterless places, seeking rest, and doesn’t find it.

A man shall be as a hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the storm, as streams of water in a dry place, as the shade of a large rock in a weary land.

If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.

“Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, so that there may come times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord,

He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who disbelieves will be condemned.

Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them.

All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”
