Romans 12:9-13 ~ Let Love be Genuine


When we consider all the books and papyrus of importance since first century A.D., the 1st century would be astonished with our knowledge and ability to name the Prefect of Judea, Syria was just an outpost with a suburb.  Staggered - at our lack of intimate knowledge of the Roman Emperors of this period. When we think of building projects, we are largely at a loss to know building achievements of the building oriented Roman Empire. Instead we know the names of fishermen, tax collectors and Jesus. We know the Colosseum for the reason of the persecution of Christians.

(We know something the Roman Empire probably did not. The Ptolemy Pharaohs of Egypt were Jews and related to the Herodians. Cleopatra's sister, Arsinoe, is deleted as history takes shortcuts, however the murder of Arsinoe in the Biblically mentioned Temple of Artemis, Diana, Acts 19, 1 Timothy 2 - gives us the DNA studies linking the Herodians and Ptolemy.)










The wisdom of the wise -  
The 1st Century would be completely and utterly astonished at the common knowledge our 21st Century labelled important and the winds of the Spirit create what really remains of History in this Anno Domini year of Our Lord .


2 Corinthians 4:18
We look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. 

For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

It's amazing what remains in what we shape and direct of our lives and culture. Today.


















The Bible unites people far more than we realize. 

We pray more Heaven on earth - few of God's mankind would disagree.


Consider John 14, Jesus is telling the uncertain Disciples about what is important as Jesus still continues with the idea they will eat His Body and drink His Blood. 72 Disciples left over the idea God gets to decide and tell mankind His ideals.  Jesus chooses to tells us what He sees is important - His joy of the life God calls good as Jesus approaches His death.


Still uniting people.


John 14

6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. 


No one comes to the Father except through me. 

When we see History - we see this:

 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”



9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works.

We believe this today resting on the Millenniums of Witnesses to God's Glory in their lives. We value because this Word of God's has been Cherished and Loved. God's  people knew the miraculous of "Jesus healed them all." The miracles of Jesus alive shown to 400 people. 

History is even the terror of the Roman Emperors, who would not stop because answered God prayer move hearts and mountains.  And Emperors like to call the shots. And human beings lighted on fire in the Coliseum. For their fear. Just as the Egyptian Pharaoh wanted to decide, so did the Emperors. 


Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves.


16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, 17 even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.

18 “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.



The Word of God is continually revered.

Since Genesis when God said being alone is Not Good, we have all thought about this.





Leading us to a universal prayer request of God





Romans 12

9 Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. 

Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. 

Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. 

Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. 

Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality. 








Abba, Holy Father,

We pray for more Heaven on earth. We pray for Love to be Genuine. For meaningful lives.

And this prayer, going around our earth comes from those who Believe Jesus is God. And we pray this reaches across our Nation. Trusting in God our Father Almighty. Circling, embracing and holding dear to uplift all the people we Love and to the entire earth.

In the Highest Name of Jesus, we ask Your Blessings.

Amen.






♔ Lord Jesus Saves!

Psalm 34: 9-14 ~ The Lord, you His saints




Psalm 34: 9-14


9 Fear the LORD, you his saints, for those who fear him lack nothing.
10 The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.
11 Come, my children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12 Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days,
13 keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies.
14 Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.



The stories of the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah are our stories!!! And in the middle of the Kingdoms and towards the end, life has a lot of work and many opinions and options. Yet the direction saving the Kings, the Kingdoms, the people swept in events is to worship Him corporately and in His Word. Seeing good, turning away from voluntarily handing Him our messes to clean up and to truly trust Him.

Hezekiah was King. No one doubted that. And Hezekiah found from time to time that his good life was lacking. Hezekiah was as prosperous as Solomon. With fewer blemishes. I sometimes wonder why Hezekiah is not more known. Joshua swept up a mess, surely we understand working with the events life gives us with Trust and Effort.

Hezekiah had all kinds of bad advice from his environmental upbringing. His generational sin was.... heavy. And Hezekiah said to his late father's memory = sure you wanted me to strip the Temple of Gold and hand that to the Assyrians, but really when I got to the point of that abomination - that felt wrong for me.

And we realize Hezekiah had help from golden Isaiah. Well... notice with me Isaiah had three other Kings from whom Isaiah was learning the ropes. Wow. Like Isaiah, we learn as we get older how things work. And older people have some wisdom.

Well. Sometimes. Because we see a lot of the Kings ran after perceived power and other pursuits of 'wisdom'.

Hezekiah had time to make mistakes and recover.






Now also notice being King has perks. And some really awful exposure.

God asks us what decision will we make when we are tried again. Because the truth is Isaiah was working with his fourth King at the end of his life. Isaiah isn't recorded as being "generational -sins- flop- for- Hezekiah's- daddy." (Yet we could make a case for that, but we like Isaiah and give him the nod instead of the magnifying glass.)

God asks us what we will do with our beliefs, our efforts. What King do you pick for your life? Yes, of course the answer is Jesus. In reality, we cannot ever do what Jesus did, because we are not HIM. He was without sin, to forgive our sins.




... are you the right side or the left side? Because unlike Joshua, sometimes we don't get to pick the middle! Of course we are supposed to be balanced, but not all bicycles have the same training wheels in true circumstances. A lot depends on where your alligators are placed. And which metaphor do you like?

In the end, we get to be just like Hezekiah  - who felt like his nice life was about to be invaded, stamped out, rubbed raw, and you just didn't get the fair shake afforded to that dratted Solomon.






Why did Hezekiah prevail? He did something every day... He went out and thundered to the guy next to him about the LORD. Muscular Christianity to the extreme. Nope. The Scriptures record he wept, cried, complained, plotted, thought it out again, fretted, fussed, WHILE HEZEKIAH WAS PRAYING. And he put papers before the Lord and said... what am I to do. Sometimes, even rarely, Hezekiah decided to hush and wait upon the LORD.  Perils of life.

In the end the Kings that prevailed did this...

Fear the LORD, you his saints, for those who fear him lack nothing.










We get so backward over this. Kings of Israel wanted to stuff our God behind a curtain. Even David did this. People who understand God believes what we say when we say The Kingdom, The Power and The Glory are Yours.

And Hezekiah went forth Thundering Witnesses to this... No. Instead Hezekiah did this...

Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies.
Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.

Hezekiah spoke to the Lord, and of the Lord, rather quietly, but used his words, and his actions to reveal his belief that God would work with Hezekiah. And the Word of God says, He does this routinely when we place our trust in HIM.

Abba,

God help me to be one too. In Jesus we pray, covering all.  

We will Thank God for the coughing and fever to be leaving.

Unfortunately Computer problems of an odd nature continue in a threatening manner.

Jesus Christ is God Amen.

Psalm 91:5 ~ Day













Psalm 91:5


You will not fear the terror of the night, 

nor the arrow that flies by day




Sign for the Second Temple.






If we could all take a poll of the details of our dreams of Heaven. Then we'd have an established record. If we could record the miracles we've had. A Communion of Saints. The Catholic Church has kept records of documented miracles. Records of saints. Records of the Eucharist changing into the Body of Christ. We saw these astonishing Papyrus and jaw-dropping Vatican treasures when we toured Houston's Museum of Natural Science Hosting the Dead Sea Scrolls and Artifacts from the Vatican (c 2001) . The Host is always of the Blood Type AB.




Going back to the idea of our dreams of Heaven. I had a dream in 1994 my Great-Aunt Clarice had died and she was screaming and yelling with extremely, extremely loud joy - telling me outside the Walls of Heaven, "All of His Promises are True!" And as I woke up the next morning, I found the dream was true. Our phone rang and I said, "Yes, I know Aunt Clarice passed on, let me tell you what I saw:"






The area outside of the walls was like the early summer photos we see of Israel.  A more gray chromium oxide green. When I saw Capernaum photos, I remembered walking up the long hill.  Not brilliantly green. Why? You are not in Heaven yet. Outside of Heaven. Coming out of a Valley, (Valley of Decision?) The size - walk uphill to an amazing wall similar in size to the Great Wall of China.

Like Nazareth - the walls of Heaven have a view.


You will see sheep and occasionally a deer. Most eyes are on the Walls of Heaven. Are there Twelve Gates? I didn't see them, clearly - of course, yes. Heaven is an actual and very real place.


Is there water, yes.  A stream comes down like streams come off hills. Was there a city - no. The Sky was very blue and cloudless (like the photo above) although clouds are said to be in Heaven in the Scriptures.





My dream was this clear.




These are photos of the Temple walls in Jerusalem. Heaven is much, much more placed up high on a hill.


The outside of Heaven is not verdant green as Heaven's side is.






When you look at the color of the Temple and the fact the stones differ in age and location taken - they vary. The Stones of Heaven are more yesterday, today and tomorrow perfect. The stones are not white like the photos of the Temple in arid Israel. They are more the exact color of the sign. The stones are yellow and they are beige and they are slightly orange. They gleam with, probably, Happiness.

Heaven's Walls, the Walls of the Kingdom of Heaven do not look old. They have never seen war. There is no need for patina. They appear to be far larger stones than the Wailing Wall. Much more perfectly sized and placed.


Unlike the photo drawing of the actual Temple - when you look at the Walls of God's Kingdom - you are looking far up.












Let me assure you, it was a blue regular sky and not purple. But there is something in the gleam of the wall reacting with my heart to the drawing.













What I did not see in this dream - Jesus Christ Lord God. I've had dreams I have been in the Lap of God's Son and I saw us from 500 or 300 feet away. In this dream, Aunt Clarice assured me He was right behind me and part of our conversation. I surely believe her.

I did not see any stained glass. I saw the Wall of a City where you'd walk to find God's Home. I felt a place where I finally understood why Cathedrals are built. God is God of All Things. God is God of all cities. God is God of all rural. God is God who would easily fill a Cathedral. God has an actual Throne and an actual Home. When we learn Gabriel stands in the presence of God, we are hearing of God's Home, God's Throne, God's hallway, God's garden, God's City all of God's Kingdom.

Why didn't I see Jesus this time? His Plan, His Purpose. My guess would be Revelation 1 - The Light of Jesus shining from our Jesus.




This a City where you would walk right in. No one would ask for any documentation. Twelve Gates are open and each one has a Giant Pearl. Did I see this? No. I felt this. You are Welcome Here. You are Home.




Abba, Abba, Abba,

And once more, Isaiah says: “The root of Jesse will appear, One who will arise to rule over the Gentiles; in Him the Gentiles will put their hope.”

Now may our Father God of hope fill us with all joy and peace as we live, move and have our being believing in Him

Overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit


The LORD bless you and keep you
The LORD make his face to shine upon you
and be gracious to you

The LORD lift up his countenance and smile upon you and give you peace.

We ask to put the Name of Jesus upon us and bless us.

Bless the Beloved of God and our Nation Trusting in You.
Bless the Nations Trusting in You.

We ask for more Heaven on earth. Upon us and our children and children's children.
Cover us with God's Name of Love Jesus Christ. Amen.

Hebrews 4:12 ~ attitudes




Hebrews 4:12 (NIV)

12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.



We have had the privilege of going all over Texas this unusually wet October. We spent time in beautiful Tyler, Texas for an A Tier D G Tournament. Due to Bronchitis, Edward didn't play as well as he likes and I had fever for a few days. We are still Whooping.

This month, our family of 3 (Cal is doing great on the Dean's List of Michigan State in Law School) went to eat Breakfast. Edward, Alexander and I were treated to seeing a Texan who has been voted in and working in the United States Congress for some time. He was meeting a friend and talking to people as they walked by standing next to some great Gelato. We went ahead and sat on the patio. Finally a Beautiful October day. The patio wasn't crowded at all. Soon Texas' own USA Congress Official sat down with his friend at the table right next to us. I proceeded not to drop my spoon, but to listen with all diligence and interest.

(I was once so nice to Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson in Dillard's not to bother her, but to appreciate seeing her. We've all had different life experiences; we lived in Nice, France and lived near enough to Danny Kaye, in his Italian home, so that my father set guidelines for meeting the famous. Danny Kaye was to be nodded at, but he was always mobbed and my father said the man had earned his privacy. Our Episcopalian Priest one summer was Frank Griswold who became 25th Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church from 1998-2006. He gave a marvelous Sermon on Always Tell and Always Tell the Truth. It was a very remarkable sermon and my family lived this. We met good friends in Nice who lived in a Garden apartment with private gardens and got locked in the garden, by our friend on accident - running to the store to get food for us all. We were let out by David Niven. And later in Dallas, our every Sunday pew friends in Church were Governor Bill and Rita Clemmons at St. Michaels and All Angels. My mother worked for Ebby Halliday for 31 years so we have some ease meeting the famous and being polite to proceed or to nod.)





And as the conversation at two tables proceeded - I heard this Good News. The United States is interested in the safety and well being of the citizens. The Law applies to all. (I'd add in, even Martha Stewart.) The Government is dedicated to helping those living in fear, which was not witnessed often, Thank God, but free of tyranny. Some situations are hard to prove or even clearly proceed. This is not a bother to the Federal Government where all situations are easily cleared up and with ease. In fact, if a murder were to occur, those practicing tyranny would surely spend time in prison. There will always be willing ears and eyes to see fear or tyranny removed.

I know this to be is very, very Good News.









Let's discuss some examples of this using Historical Analogy.

God told us we would have Remnants who survive great wars.
Today we often speak of Post Traumatic Stress, but do we see this in the Bible?

Let's say there was a very good looking man and he arrived in a Nazi House of Works and Improvement. Being sized up, this man was moved where the officials would have him meet and greet. He would be used in Service. The chances of survival are great. In fact, just being inside - where the elements of coldness and harsh conditions are removed - greatly improves survival. But if you are to ensure your survival, you eat the same food, you have opinions on what is safe - like food. However once you have had the food conversations, you need to approve of the methods you have seen around you. This is how tyranny Officials maintain order. And because we all want to survive and prosper, really the Officials now want to ensure your survival in the regime, you'd be encouraged to practice methods of tyranny and cruelty.

The problem is as old as the Greek Empire. The lure of sadism. In fact, families would scream and yell themselves purple in the face to bring back the soul - to revive the soul to remember what is the path of Life.

Who faced this?
Belteshazzar. Belteshazzar was given knowledge, education, the best foods and named after foreign gods. We call this Belteshazzar Daniel and his story begins in the Book of Daniel - Belteshazzar, Daniel 2:26. What Daniel was to learn about - you are truly in service, when the chips are down - the survivor is the King. Even if the King has slipped a cog and thinks he is a wolf. And God would keep him safe even if he were thrown in the den of lions for David's 23 years.










Now - if you were the one put to work in the cold parts of Works and Improvement -
You'd find even Corrie Ten Baum was grateful for the fleas cause flees. In the harsh conditions of fascism - no real freedom - the Cross of Jesus Christ - the part about carry your cross was having the Cross swung at you like a weapon of The Spanish Inquisition.

This was also the way the Japanese retrained people during the war - your flaws are exaggerated or you are placed where you must for survival and then had your existence plucked at like unneeded fingernails. Enemies would tar or burden a victim until the victim was made to look guilty. It would be challenging to see Jesus Christ Himself through all the one opinion and the Law as a weapon. In fact - the terrible tragedy is the separation from God is the purpose. To find goodness unappealing.

Fear is used.
 One of the times our family life has felt fear was in 2014 on I-45 coming home from Dallas, we found the next day, at Porsche of North Houston, our gas line was severed. Knowing fear is something no one ever forgets.

Who would have had this happen to him?
Saul who worked at the Temple. His eyes were opened. He had to flee in a basket. Remember with me, when all of Hebrews 11 is put down and we are asked why we would participate in a Christianity having the history of the Crusades - let's all remember to say Jesus had this Crusade Himself. And so did Paul.









What other methods are used?

Retrain us in the idea of good and evil. Telling of a new liberty and soak us.

Train us to look to the flesh to see flesh instead of the heart. To look at money.

A place is just a place. We can find the Word of God is told to be outdated in a Church. Moral tradition and lack of Love. Told works and see no love. We can be told the Works and Improvements are Just Government and make copies of the White House.

Do not believe the Words of God are laden with hate. To falsely learn the wars of the Bible are for vengeance. To deliberately and/or with ignorance fail understanding survival, Life and goodness are our hope of God Himself. The Straight Path of God. Instead Tyranny has layers of the repeat and repeat and repeat victimization of tyranny. Evil is not very creative.










We escape as we are Atticus Finch standing for Jesus.
  • Stand up for Jesus as God's Son.
  • God is truly Good
  • The Dignity of mankind. The Grace of being part of the Creation of God.
  • Believe He desires men to live in harmony following His Laws and Decrees of Just Behavior.
  • Have Gratitude - without gratitude we are less and less blessed. 
  • Not to think remorse is an emotion and you are redeemed to repeat cruelties without recompense.
  • To turn off and not watch what is inappropriate.
  • Tell the Truth.
The of Book of Acts is also called the Acts of the Apostles.
This is where our footsteps meet surely goodness and mercy are the footprints I leave.

Every day to make good choices.

Have Real Gratitude for real goodness God has in our lives. Without Gratitude we surely are less blessed and less blessed.

To find God in our lives - not stuck behind The Curtain like the Holy of Holies. Not to smile and agree at wrong.

What is goodness and mercy? For those we love and can give real opinion. Knowing God will help and with good choices evil well perish.

Galatians 6:1
Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted.

2 Timothy 4:2
Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; 

reprove, rebuke, and exhort, 
with complete patience
and teaching.

2 Timothy 3:16-17
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.




Abba, our Father

We are told to find the Good in each day. To believe our Blessings Renew. To communicate to make the path better in God's Love, Joy and Peace. Remember the attitudes in all circumstances.

To do the work Father God gives - to Believe God and Jesus His Son. Their Word. When we believe and see the Light of God - we will dwell there.


And with God's Help and for my loved ones, we pray all we pray for honestly and sincerely and ask our Father to bring more Heaven to earth. To help the Nations Trusting in God. The people who work His Purpose.

And have our faith stretch in peace, knowing God is Working.


In Jesus. Amen.

Luke 10:38-42 ~ the good





Bethany is 1.5 miles from Jerusalem, located on a hill SW of Jerusalem


Luke 10:38-42


38 Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a village. 

And a woman named Martha  welcomed him into her house. 39 And she had a sister called 3 Mary, who 4sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching.

 40 But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and said, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me." 41 But the Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are 5 anxious and troubled about many things, 

42 but one thing is necessary.  Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her."





Jesus is telling us He finds in these women a worthy soul, listening and learning from Jesus. Filled with wonder and love.

We find God has found Mary, Mother of Jesus, (not this Mary) as worthy of Annunciation from an Archangel standing in the Presence of God. (Jesus taught sitting down.) Moses worked with his sister Miriam. The Bible found Deborah worthy of God's placement. Jesus ended His Life on Good Friday finding multitudes of women came to mourn Jesus. Paul found Prisca and her husband Aquila worthy to travel, work and fellowship with.

We know Mary and Martha found Jesus to be God who sits with us. Mary and Martha had dinners for Jesus and spent time with God telling Him when they felt short-changed or sulky. When they felt God had not been present and loyal with their deepest concerns. And these ladies still displayed to God, their faith in His Steadfast Love in eternal fulfillment.

These are not just stories suddenly of women - this is deep relationship we all learn from.

We can trust Jesus with our deepest heart and in times of Life Tragedy - Jesus sees our tears as precious and Jesus would cry as He prays with us.

Our Jesus is Wonderful.





Abba, Father,

Thank You Jesus prays with us with such Love.


Our God is Wonderful. Hearing our concerns and acting. Seeing our hearts.


Lifting up Bronchitis in our home for a month shared one person to the next and a return. We ask the end of Bronchitis. And the return of nights of sleep.


We are praying Peace for us all. For the believers we know pray more Heaven on earth as the earth turns from morning to night.

Praying more Heaven to earth summer's warmth to winter's rest.

Praying Heaven on earth for the paths of families traveling life to the destination of our prodigal to the Father running to greet us. Let our hearts and ways please You. Your Willing Healing. We live and renew on Your Mercy. For the Nations trusting in God. Our Nation and our people and our Church and our communities.


 Peace for the Holidays to be warm and loving ahead with Christmas planning taking the frantic away from Christmas.

Blessings upon You, Father. You provide our Righteousness.


In Jesus. Amen.

The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say. The Bible is unique; comprised of 80 separate books, & written over a period of thousands of years by more than 40 writers with one Author, spanning the centuries, different states of peace & war & different situations in life. The Bible answers the question: of who is God, who is man & what can their relationship can be. Although the Bible was written on perishable material and copied by hand for many centuries, its accuracy is not in doubt, proven by Dead Sea Scrolls and papyrus from 2,000 years. The Bible has survived persecution & criticism to be read with great interest in each generation. The Bible gives witness to the greatness of the Creator. A loving Father concerned for all of his creation. With each verse of the bible witnessing to God is love and the multitude & vastness of His attributes. The Bible was written for you. <><
