“Poor and Needy”

<p><strong>Psalm 70:5 KJV</strong> But I am poor and needy; Make haste unto me, O God: Thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.</p> <p><strong>Romans 7:24ESV</strong>Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? </p> <p><strong>Romans 7:18-19AMP</strong> For I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh [my human nature, my worldliness—my sinful capacity]. For the willingness [to do good] is present in me, but the doing of good is not. For the good that I want to do, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want. </p> <p><strong>Revelation 3:17ESV</strong> For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.</p> <p><strong>1 Thessalonians 5:23AMP</strong> Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you through and through [that is, separate you from profane and vulgar things, make you pure and whole and undamaged—consecrated to Him—set apart for His purpose]; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept complete and [be found] blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Isaiah 25:4KJV</strong> For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.</p> <p><strong>Colossians 2:10KJV</strong>And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: It was when I encountered the Lord and began a personal relationship with Him that I realized how poor and needy I was.  Now, through His help, guidance, and deliverance, I am in need of nothing because my destination is heaven, to walk the streets of gold, having the crown of life, and be with my SAVIOR forevermore. </p>
