And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell
shall not prevail against it.  And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever
thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be
loosed in heaven.
(Matthew 16:18-19)

Praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should
be saved.  
(Acts 2:47)

And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great
company of the priests were obedient to the faith.  
(Acts 6:7)

Then had the churches rest throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in
the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.
 (Acts 9:31)

And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that
miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.  
(1 Corinthians 12:28)

Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the
church.  
(1 Corinthians 14:12)

And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his
mighty power, which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right
hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every
name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:  and hath put all things under
his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of him that
filleth all in all.  
(Ephesians 1:19-23)

And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.  And he is the head of the body, the church: who is
the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
(Colossians 1:17-18)

Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord
of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into his harvest.  
(Luke 10:2)

No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in
judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is
of me, saith the LORD.
 (Isaiah 54:17)

So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish
that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.  For ye shall go out with joy, and be led
forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of
the field shall clap their hands.  Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall
come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut
off.
 (Isaiah 55:11-13)

Have faith in God.  For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed,
and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he
saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever
ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them
(Mark 11:22-24).  

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.  But without faith it is
impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of
them that diligently seek him
(Hebrews 11:1, 6).

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17).  

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap (Galatians 6:7).

For with God nothing shall be impossible (No Word from God shall be void of the power it takes to bring it to
pass – Amplified Bible).  . . . Behold the servant of the Lord; be it unto me according to Thy Word.
(Luke 1:37-38)
