Psalm 23 ~ The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want

Billy Graham has demonstrated a single candle in a football stadium reflects a Light of Jesus Christ and has enormous effect. Inspiring many to do amazing feats of Christ Jesus.

Psalm 23

1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.

3 He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness
for his name’s sake.

4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall dwellf in the house of the Lord
forever.


Today I went to a Bible Study Video done by Judith MacNutt. The topic was fear. A timely topic when yesterday's post was on Hebrews 3 and Luke 4, the beginning of Jesus' ministry was surpassing the temptation of 40 days. Judith MacNutt said the desert is formidable and Jesus overcomes all things. All things are under His feet.

Was Jesus afraid during the temptation?

The Children of Israel were given amazing passage through the waters of the Red Sea.


Exodus 14:22
And the people of Israel went into the midst of the sea on dry ground, the waters being a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.

In times of Trouble, the children of God have trepidation.

When the Angel of the Lord appears, usually words are few and needed:

"Fear not."

Jesus is before Abraham. Jesus is not afraid. He has His Father. Perfect Love casts out fear.

2 Chronicles 16:9
For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to give strong support to those whose heart is blameless toward him.


Jesus knew something very important.


John 1

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

9 The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.

Jesus has given us the Promises of His Father. Each day we are changed as new creations of Jesus Christ to be His eternally.

Psalm 3
From the Lord comes deliverance.
May your blessing be on your people.


Father God,

We not cease to give thanks for Jesus Christ. And are pleased to always remember to be in conversation with You.

You are the father of Jesus Christ Lord. Father of Glory.

We ask for the Holy Spirit of Wisdom and of revelation of You, the Living God in each day of our eternal lives.

Let us live the Light of Jesus, having our hearts enlightened, the hope of Salvation is here. The saints' uncomparible riches of Your glorious inheritance,

To know each day, the immeasurable greatness of You power toward us who believe.

To see the promise of Greater Workers Jesus gave us, according to the working of His great might You worked in Christ when You raised Him from the dead and seated Him at his right hand in the heavenly places.

We pray to live each day knowing Jesus far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.

We will live eternity today, putting all things under Yours feet and know You head over all things, to the Church.

We will live the Fullness of Jesus. His body, the fullness of Jesus Christ Lord of All who fills all in all. Amen and Amen. Glory to Jesus Christ.

Hebrews 3 ~ Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, on the day of testing in the wilderness

 

Hebrews 3

Therefore, holy brothers, you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession, 2 who was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in all God's house.

3 For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses—as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself. 4 (For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.)

 5 Now Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later, 6 but Christ is faithful over God's house as a son.

 And we are his house if indeed we hold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope.




7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says,

“Today, if you hear his voice,

do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
on the day of testing in the wilderness,

where your fathers put me to the test
and saw my works for forty years.

Therefore I was provoked with that generation,
and said, ‘They always go astray in their heart;
they have not known my ways.’

As I swore in my wrath,
‘They shall not enter my rest.’”

12 Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God.

13 But exhort one another every day,
as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

14 For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end.

 15 As it is said,

“Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”

16 For who were those who heard and yet rebelled? Was it not all those who left Egypt led by Moses? 17 And with whom was he provoked for forty years?

 Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom did he swear that they would not enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient? 19 So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief.

If Jesus were to pair Hebrews 3 - where the obvious message we take away is give your all to God every day - what would He pair this with?


Jesus might use Luke 4

When did Jesus appear not to offer to Father God - today?


Luke 4

And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness 2 for forty days, being tempted by the devil.

And he ate nothing during those days. And when they were ended, he was hungry. 3 The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.” 4 And Jesus answered him, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone.’” 5 And the devil took him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time, 6 and said to him, “To you I will give all this authority and their glory, for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whom I will. 7 If you, then, will worship me, it will all be yours.” 8 And Jesus answered him, “It is written,

“‘You shall worship the Lord your God,
and him only shall you serve.’”

9 And he took him to Jerusalem and set him on the pinnacle of the temple and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here, 10 for it is written,

“‘He will command his angels concerning you,
to guard you,’

11 and

“‘On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.’”

12 And Jesus answered him, “It is said, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’” 13 And when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from him until an opportune time.




Why would this be part of Jesus' life and ministry?

Jesus is God. Nothing is impossible to Jesus. Jesus arrived willingly to walk this life with Joy. God would and could see everyday in Joy.

Jesus went out the wilderness to realize what He did not want His ministry to be.

In this Temptation, Jesus puts down:

1. Being asked by evil to do a useful sign. Jesus has rejected a suggestion from evil. For any reason.

2. To harm Himself. Evil has asked Jesus to do harm to Himself. (Making a mockery of Salvation.)

3. To do an action in sheer public horror when The Temple is Life and Health and God.

4. To be grandiose and show instead of nurturing. Make claims of Self glorification. Jesus came to Glorify His Father.

5. To manipulate with lies.

6. The devil responded to the Word of God by leaving.




How did Jesus do? He was clearly demonstrating the decision never to be pushed by evil or feel He must change evil with proofs.

Jesus was polite.

Jesus did not bother trying to teach the evil the fact Scripture was twisted for purpose of control.

Jesus did this showing He is the Way, Truth, Life.

And what did the Word of God say for passing through and leaving evil?

Luke 4
14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit.

And then Jesus and His Word of being God had a reaction:

Luke 4:14b and 15
and a report about him went out through all the surrounding country. 15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.



Our Father,

You are in Heaven,
Holy is Your Name.

Give us this day, our daily Bread.

Forgive me my sins,
as I forgive those who sin against me.

Lead us not into temptation, deliver us from evil.

For Your's is the Kingdom, the Power and the Glory. Forever Amen.

Thank You for Jesus, cover us in His name. Amen.

Matthew 3:13-17 ~ “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”

Westminster Abbey - a work of God.

God buries His workmen, but carries on His work.
-Charles Wesley

England has one King who is a Saint. Edward the Confessor reigned 24 years, 8 June 1042 – 5 January 1066. A very unlikely king, Edward was the seventh son of Æthelred the Unready, and the first by his second wife, Emma of Normandy. What God plans to do, God Will. Edward is not recorded as being interested in art and books, but Westminster Abbey explains he was an innovating and generous patron of the Church.

Edward the Confessor was the first Anglo-Saxon and the only King of England to be Canonized  7 February 1161.

Westminster Abbey was still seeing construction in 1725. Further rebuilding, restoration continued in the 19th century.

Cathedrals tell us of the Magnificence of a Living God.
Beauty and Magnificence are from His Throne.
We build our lives knowing we will exit this temporary life.
God builds only upon Eternity.

Works of God

Westminster Abbey is an important and enduring work of God. According to oral history, the site began as a vision of St Peter was seen. In the 7th century, a Church was built. And in 1042 A.D., King Edward the Saint began to build St. Peter at Westminster.

King Edward left no children and left England to his nephew, William the Conqueror. Like Charles Wesley said, "God buries His workmen, but carries on His work."



And there is, of course, a Way, Truth and Life of Jesus in this.
Who, as Lord of All, would of course, be the most important part of this Post.

Westminster is not remembered to be named for St. Peter. King Edward never danced naked here. Westminster is not remembered to be named for St. Edward. Westminster was not re-named for William the Conqueror. Westminster is remembered as enduring. Like the Church of Jesus. Proclaimed by Jesus in Caesarea, before any Church was conceived.

The obedience of servants to God, in His Word, created a Work of God.

Jesus, as part of Father God, chose to be obedient. Jesus was obedient to God.








Let's consider the status of Jesus as God.
The Importance of Jesus as God. The Oneness Jesus tells us of His Glory.

In Creation, God wants Life.
God speaks the Word of God and Jesus is manifest Word of God.
Father God is above All. Jesus is created.

And over the water, the Holy Spirit hovers.

All the oneness of God is in Creation.

Father God glorifies His Son. Jesus seeks the Glory of His Father. 
Barnabus is pleased. The Son of Encouragement.  An Aspect of God. 

We learn later through the Steadfast Love of God to all generations, Jesus is Living Water. We see the completion of the Creation story - how close God is.


Matthew 3:13-17

13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him. 14 John would have prevented him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”

15 But Jesus answered him, “Let it be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he consented.

16 And when Jesus was baptized, immediately he went up from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on him;

17 and behold, a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”

Participating in a Work of God.

Moses is always remembered in the Exodus.
And yet, the Exodus is a Work of God.
Quieter, not making the movies, is Joshua.
Yeshua resumes the work of Joshua.

When we say the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand, we are saying yesterday, today and tomorrow.

All we have to do to participate in a Work of God, is ageless.
We do exactly what the people did after Jesus returned Victorious from death.
We believe in our Hearts and confess with our mouths "Jesus is Lord."

And each day we realize we are living the Lord's Prayer, when we say, "Your Will be done on earth, as in Heaven."

At the end of the day we can smile, as we put our head on the pillow, knowing we pleased Father God.




Father God,

You are my God. You are merciful. Thank You, You listen to me and answer.
You are the Helper and You are God.

All my life, I pray asking You to pray with me.

Thank You, you are good us us all and forgiving.
You are filled and full with constant love to all who pray to You.

We rest in times of trouble, because we know You answer prayers.
There is no God apart from You.

Help this time and this world to ask of You.
Fill them with wonder and care at Your Greatness.

You are mighty and do wonderful things;
you alone are God.

Each day.
Teach me, Lord, what you want me to do,
and I will obey you faithfully;
teach me to serve you with complete devotion.

I praise you with all my heart, O Lord my God;
I will proclaim your greatness forever.

How great is your constant love for me!
You have saved me from the grave itself.

You, O Lord, are a merciful and loving God,
always patient, always kind and faithful.

I Bless Jesus. Thank You.
You lift up your smile to me and have mercy on me;
strengthen me and save me.

Amazing Father God,
You have given me comfort and help.

Thanks be unto God our Father. In Jesus. Amen.

Zechariah 8:16,17 ~ These are the things that you shall do

A Special Love Letter From Jesus Christ

If this life is to determine our soul's talents to Father God, we bring Him our soul. God made us in His image to create. Everything we should do is inspired by Father God.

And if we read God's Letters to us as uniquely personal; We believe Jesus gave His life for me by opening His Arms on the Cross for me. Then we believe, the Bible is written for me.

 



What would Father God tell me specifically to do?

Zechariah 8:16
These are the things that you shall do: Speak the truth to one another.


What is the value God places on truth?

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."






To what depth should we speak the truth.

To ourselves and God:

Matthew 6:6
But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Speak the truth at home.


When conflict is arriving, even at home:

Galatians 4:16
Have I then become your enemy by telling you the truth?

To explain the story better and more quickly:

Exodus 20:16
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

Zechariah 8 is about Heaven. A rare glimpse of life in Heaven. And starts here:

Zechariah 8

16 These are the things that you shall do: Speak the truth to one another; render in your gates [your own home] judgments that are true and make for peace.

Jesus brings mercy with His Truth!!! We live making decisions. Wisdom cries out make wise choices.






Matthew 3, Mark 1, John 1, Luke 3 Tell us to make Straight Paths for Father God. And in doing so ask for blessings on others. We need the rich mercy of Jesus for ourselves. Always.

Zechariah 8
16 These are the things that you shall do: Speak the truth to one another; render in your gates judgments that are true and make for peace;

17 do not devise evil in your hearts against one another, and love no false oath, for all these things I hate, declares the Lord.”

In true difficulties, we usually fuss. Blessing someone far away is never wrong! And resting our uptight concerns with God - a Blessing for us. God is for us. Rest.

Romans 12:19
Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”




Father God,

When Your Great Mercy covers me in Highest Name of Jesus, I am righteous before You and given the Highest Love and Help. Thank You for Jesus.

We pray Straight Paths in life when we do not understand, we lean upon You. Thank You for Your Protection. Let the Name of Jesus cover me always, always, always. Thank You, Father.

Let Your Great Name of Jesus King of Kings cover my loved ones, the people You give me and this Nation of People in Churches, Schools, Work, Communities and the World calling upon Jesus have more Holy Spirit by asking in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

Mark 9 ~ So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what this rising from the dead might mean.

Mark 9

And he said to them, “Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God after it has come with power.”

2 And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. 

And he was transfigured before them, 3 and his clothes became radiant, intensely white, as no one on earth could bleach them. 

4 And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. 5 And Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good that we are here. Let us make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah.” 6 For he did not know what to say, for they were terrified.

7 And a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son; listen to him.” 8 And suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them but Jesus only.

9 And as they were coming down the mountain, he charged them to tell no one what they had seen, until the Son of Man had risen from the dead. 

10 So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what this rising from the dead might mean. 

11 And they asked him, “Why do the scribes say that first Elijah must come?” 

12 And he said to them, “Elijah does come first to restore all things. And how is it written of the Son of Man that he should suffer many things and be treated with contempt? 13 But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they pleased, as it is written of him.”










 

14 And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd around them, and scribes arguing with them. 15 And immediately all the crowd, when they saw him, were greatly amazed and ran up to him and greeted him. 

16 And he asked them, “What are you arguing about with them?” 

17 And someone from the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought my son to you, for he has a spirit that makes him mute. 18 And whenever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams and grinds his teeth and becomes rigid. So I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they were not able.” 

19 And he answered them, “O faithless generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you?"

"Bring him to me.” 

20 And they brought the boy to him. And when the spirit saw him, immediately it convulsed the boy, and he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth. 21 And Jesus asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?”

And he said, “From childhood. 22 And it has often cast him into fire and into water, to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.” 

23 And Jesus said to him, “‘If you can’! All things are possible for one who believes.” 

24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, “I believe; help my unbelief!” 

25 And when Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.” 

 26 And after crying out and convulsing him terribly, it came out, and the boy was like a corpse, so that most of them said, “He is dead.” 

27 But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose. 




28 And when he had entered the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why could we not cast it out?” 

29 And he said to them, “This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer.”

 


30 They went on from there and passed through Galilee. And he did not want anyone to know, 31 for he was teaching his disciples, saying to them, “The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him. And when he is killed, after three days he will rise.” 

32 But they did not understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.





 

33 And they came to Capernaum. And when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?” 

34 But they kept silent, for on the way they had argued with one another about who was the greatest.

 35 And he sat down and called the twelve. And he said to them, “If anyone would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.” 

36 And he took a child and put him in the midst of them, and taking him in his arms, he said to them, 37 “Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me.”
 

38 John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he was not following us.” 

39 But Jesus said, “Do not stop him, for no one who does a mighty work in my name will be able soon afterward to speak evil of me. 40 For the one who is not against us is for us. 41 For truly, I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ will by no means lose his reward.

42 “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea. 43 And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than with two hands to go to hell, to the unquenchable fire. 45 And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame than with two feet to be thrown into hell. 47 And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into hell, 48 ‘where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.’ 49 For everyone will be salted with fire. 50 Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, how will you make it salty again? 

Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”




Salt.

Jesus is always interesting.

Displaying the Vast Attributes of God the Father Almighty.

This is true of God:


1 John 4:10
In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.


1 Peter 4:8 (ASV)
Above all things being fervent in your love among yourselves; for love covereth a multitude of sins



Jesus being God proclaims to the disciples they will see Heaven before they die. If you have studied the medical conditions of Jesus upon the Cross, you are aware Jesus died mercifully faster from heart failure, far faster than most human beings placed on a cross. Father God was merciful towards Jesus Great Love for us as atonement for our sins.

Jesus is perhaps telling them they will be like Stephen and see this Glory before their suffering overcomes them.


The Wonder of God. Vast. Jesus tells these disciples they will see Heaven, an impossibility and immediately Jesus fulfills this.




Now there is another facet to this human equation. Wonder of God with Doubt. Anxiety.

They are like Mary. Unsure of what to do with a God sized Word of God Statement.

10. So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what this rising from the dead might mean.


Who else did this?

Luke 2:19
Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart.


Let's see another, less thought of , example:

Isaiah 7
10 Again the Lord spoke to Ahaz, 11 “Ask a sign of the Lord yourf God; let it be deep as Sheol or high as heaven.” 12 But Ahaz said, “I will not ask, and I will not put the Lord to the test.”

13 And he said, “Hear then, O house of David! Is it too little for you to weary men, that you weary my God also? 14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel."


God is not just considering the people He addresses, He is considering yesterday, today and tomorrow's Beloved of God. This is a God sized Word of God. Who is Ahaz? The unbelieving father of Hezekiah, the most prosperous king of David's Line just outside of Solomon. God is considering Ahaz's son. And us today.
These Words of God continue to all people.



God does not have explain God. He is God.

What God does after He proclaims...
He allows mankind to do the work given to them - Believe.

If they do not, Father God is not fussed. He does not require human hands to bring forth His Plan.


Father God is Love, we witness in the fullness of His Plan.



Jesus does not in desperation run back and forth begging for belief.
He believes all called by Father God will become the Lord's.
Jesus does not shrink from proclaiming the Good News of God.

Jesus has given exactly what Father God intends Jesus to give.

Facets of Human understanding:
Mary accepted faith is a mystery. Luke 2:19
The disciples accepted faith is a mystery. Verse 10.

Paul shows us in the Holy Spirit, he accepts the mystery with Timothy. Once saying, Paul "will see how it goes with me."

And telling us with Timothy:

Timothy 3:16 
 Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of godliness:
He was manifested in the flesh,
vindicated by the Spirit,
seen by angels,
proclaimed among the nations,
believed on in the world,
taken up in glory.



Another facet of God giving what God will give:

Place God first and trust God of All Creation.

God does not do this. Unless - God is ready:

1. Words of Affirmation.
2. Acts of Service.
3. Giving Gifts.
4. He does promise Quality Time like the 12 always open gates of Heaven.
5. Physical Touch.

God is saying, in conclusion, "God loves first. Believe the Promises of God."

The disciples walked with the Light of Life and had questions. We can believe Jesus perceives thoughts and heart.

We can trust Father God with our questions. Jesus made time for the father of the child asking for more faith, even as the crowd was 'running' to them. We can believe God for His mighty Works and His quiet works as well.

We can believe in trusting in Jesus, He will lift us up too.


Father God,
You are God, we are not. We are the people You have created.

In You, we will lean upon Your Holy Spirit. Doing like Elisha and asking for more of Your Holy Spirit when we do not understand. Placing all things under Your feet, Father God.

When emotion floods us, we will acknowledge our emotion. Like anxiety and we will give this emotion to You. I will trust in Your Word and I will ask for You to cover my emotion and I will not be afraid. I will be centered upon you.

I believe You have a plan for me. And this is my hope and future.

We will be Your children. We will look to Your Word and Your teaching. We will ask our Heart in Jesus' name to keep Your Commandments. We will look to length of days and years of life and peace You add to us. Proverbs 3. We bless You for favor and good success, looking to You in our hearts. We will lean upon Your understanding.

Whatever we ask in prayer, we will believe in the Name of Jesus, Your Good Will will accomplish and we will have Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Encouragement, Dignity, Self Control and the Presence of Jesus the Lord. Amen.
