PREFACE

DO NOT EARNESTLY REMEMBER THE FORMER THINGS, NEITHER CONSIDER THE THINGS OF OLD

BEHOLD, I AM DOING A NEW THING; NOW IT SPRINGS FORTH; DO YOU NOT PERCEIVE AND KNOW IT, AND WILL YOU NOT GIVE HEED TO IT? I WILL EVEN MAKE A WAY IN THE WILDERNESS AND RIVERS IN THE DESERT.

THE BEASTS OF THE FIELD SHALL HONOUR ME, THE JACKALS AND THE OSTRICHES; BECAUSE I GIVE WATERS IN THE WILDERNESS AND RIVERS IN THE DESERT, TO GIVE DRINK TO MY PEOPLE, MY CHOSEN.

THE PEOPLE I FORMED FOR MYSELF THAT THEY MIGHT SHOW FORTH MY PRAISE, AND THEY SHALL DO IT.

YET YOU HAVE NOT CALLED UPON ME, MUCH LESS TOILED FOR ME, O JACOB; BUT YOU HAVE BEEN WEARY OF ME, O ISRAEL.

ISAIAH 43:18-22

You have not brought Me your sheep and goats for burnt offerings, or honored Me with your sacrifices. I have not required you to serve with an offering or treated you as a slave by demanding tribute, or wearied you with offering incense.

You have not brought Me sweet cane with money, or satiated Me with the fat of your sacrifices. But you have only burdened Me with your sins, you have wearied Me with your iniquities.

I, even I, am He Who blots out and cancels your transgressions for My own sake, and I will not remember your sins.

Put Me in remembrance - remind Me of your merits; let us plead and argue together. Set forth your case that you may be justified - proved in the right.

Your first father [Jacob, in particular] has sinned, and your teachers, the priests and the prophets, - your mediators - have transgressed against Me.

And so I have profaned the chief ones of the sanctuary, and have delivered Jacob to the curse, the ban, a solemn anathema or excommunication, and subjected Israel to reproaches and reviling.

Yet now hear, O Jacob My servant, and Israel whom I have chosen;

Thus says the Lord Who made you and formed you in the womb, Who will help you: Fear not O Jacob My servant, and you Jeshurun - the upright one [applied to Israel as type of the Messiah] - whom I have chosen.

For I will pour water upon him who is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground. I will pour My Spirit upon your offspring, and my blessing upon your descendants.

And they shall spring up among the grass, as willows or poplars by the water courses.

One shall say, I am the Lord's, and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob, and another will write [even brand or tattoo] upon his hand, I am the Lord's, and surname himself by the honourable name of Israel.

Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of Hosts: I am the first, and I am the last, besides Me there is no God.

Who is like Me? Let him stand and proclaim it, declare it, and set his proofs in order, since I made and established the people of antiquity. Who has announced from of old the things that are coming? Then let them declare yet future things.

Fear not, nor be not afraid in the coming violent upheavals; have I not told it to you from of old and declared it? And you are My witnesses! Is there a God besides Me? There is no other Rock; I know not any.

Isaiah 43:18 thru 44

The Lord quickened the above Scriptures to me before He proceeded to lead me through the journey that was to become SING TO THE LORD A NEW SONG. He led me to the psalms, and showed me that is what He wanted the title of the book to be.

FAMILY FIVE FOLD JOY is a primer to SING TO THE LORD A NEW SONG, to enable the family situation to begin, and flow into the fullness of SING TO THE LORD A NEW SONG

INTRODUCTION

FIVE-FOLD MINISTRY PLAN FOR PERFECTION

The Church Body in a locality, and the home is used to express the life of the Body, and the gifts in the Church Body and the home, are used to express the ministry of its members.

CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY WITH INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM/FUNCTION

INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM OF FUNCTION WITH CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY

My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command.

John 15:12-14.

And he gave some as Apostles, and some, prophets; and some, preachers of the good

news; and some to give care and teaching;

For the training of the saints as servants in the church, for the building up of the body of

Christ:

Till we all come to the harmony of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to full

growth, to the full measure of Christ:

So that we may be no longer children, sent this way and that, turned about by every wind of

teaching, by the twisting and tricks of men, by
