Luke 1:11-15 ~ joy and gladness, and many will rejoice

Father God keeps reaching for us to warm our hearts and enlighten our eyes to eternal Love.

Luke 1:11-15

11 And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense. 

12 And Zechariah was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him. 

13 But the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John. 

14 And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth, 
15 for he will be great before the Lord.


Genesis moves from Genesis 3 to Genesis 2 telling of our welcome to moving, living and having our being with our Father God.

Genesis 3
8 And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the Presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the LORD God called to the man and said to him, 

"Where are you?"

Genesis 2
25 And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.

Tonight, we watched, "Secrets of Museums" and the grape leaves in the Vatican.

Zechariah found this by meeting God's messenger.

Isaiah 45:24

Surely they will say of Me,

 'In the LORD alone are righteousness and strength.'" 

All who rage against Him will come to Him 

and be put to shame.

Acts 2

My heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced;

my flesh also will dwell in hope.

27 For You will not abandon my soul to Hades,

or let Your Holy One see corruption.

28 You have made known to me the paths of life;

You will make me full of gladness 

with Your Presence.

Today, I was praying for someone I know to be fatally ill, a member of my family, and God put upon my thoughts the Joy of His Presence.

Malachi 3:10

Thereby put Me to the test, 

says the Lord of Hosts,

See if I will not open the windows of Heaven for you

and 

pour down for you a blessing 

until there is no more need.

Genesis 7:11

The windows of the Heavens were opened.

2 Kings 7:19

The captain had answered the man of God, “If the Lord Himself should make windows in Heaven, could such a thing be?” 

And he had said, 

“You shall see it with your own eye."

Stained glass is sand. 

Mere sand. 

Gathered. 

Redeemed as Worthy. 

Filled with Fire and Made Immortal.

Revelation 4:1

After this I looked,

and 

Behold,

A Door standing open in Heaven!

And the First Voice, 

which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, 

“Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.”

Joel 3:14

Multitudes, multitudes, in the valley of decision! 

For the day of the LORD

 is near in the valley of decision.

Abba, Father,

We ask Jesus Christ may dwell in  our hearts through faith

We ask to be be  rooted and grounded in love

and have strength to comprehend 

with all 

what is the breadth and length and height and depth

of Your Love.

To know 

The Love of Christ 

Surpassing all the books ever written, 

fully know,

We are filled with all the fullness of God

Your Promises,

Father,

Are Sure.

In Jesus Christ,

we live and move and

have our being.

Amen!
