Trust in the Lord and do good. Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.' Rhoda hugs them when suddenly, she felt a quick leap in her womb and turns Rudolf, “Praise God, there’s a new life here!”

Jennifer said shaking her head "Yea,but the sad thing is that everybody isn't going to accept this truth or believe in it" "Why?" Jennifer asked. "It's plain and simple of what the bible says" "Most people rather believe in men instead of their own God. Many are called but few are chosen" "Many are called but few are chosen. What scripture is that?" Jennifer asked "Matthew chapter twenty two and verse fourteen" Sophia replied "How do you know if you're chosen to be into this truth?" Jennifer asked

Ace shook his head and seemed to be able read Summer’s mind. Summer took a deep breath and stared straight at Ace. “Okay! Have you heard of a legendary story...?

And the Lord God said, ‘it is not good that the man should be alone; I will make a companion for him.’ So, God took one of the man’s ribs and made a woman, Eve. God thought that everything would be perfect now, but God started to be jealous of Eve. He was jealous of this woman who was made from Adam’s rib because she took away all the love from Adam.”

Mercy complained and I stuck my tongue out to annoy her. "Two?" Devil said then looked at me, I already had my eyes on him "FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND SHALL BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH. Ephesian 5:31." he said with his devilish grin and I gasped. "Did you just quote the scripture?" I asked the obvious showing how surprised I was and he just scoffed.

Genesis understood how to bait us. DAMIAN I inserted the drive into Julian's offline computer. The screen blinked on. A video started. Genesis stood in a darkened chamber filled with blue light. There are rows of pods behind him. Some of them have broken. Some humming. Some are full. "I gave you the opportunity to evolve," he continued. "But you chose emotions. "You chose instability." Then the screen split. One side featured Ava's face. The other? Liam's. "If you wish to keep the child alive," Genesis stated coldly, "bring her here." Her meaning is Ava. He paused. Then added: "Alone."

Seeing her confused look, he explains about the aphrodisiac powder. "I should have been stronger. We're cursed, you know," he says quietly. "Cursed be he that lieth with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother. Deuteronomy 27:22," he quotes, locking eyes with her. "I'm so sorry, Sis." Tears are streaming down his cheeks and Sharon reaches over and pulls him to her, cradling his head against her naked breasts. "What does that mean?" she asks, combing her fingers through his hair as he cries. "To be cursed, I mean."

Either way, we’re not alone.” I swallowed. “How many?” “Enough to set more than one.” He scanned the ground, then the trees. “Stay close.
