Romans 8:11-25 ~ The Best of the Best of the Best

 

†

Romans 8:11-25

If the Spirit of Him Who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, 

He Who raised Christ Jesus from the dead 

will also give 

life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit Who dwells in you.

12 So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, 

you will live. 

14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 

15 For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear,

 but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, 

by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” 

The Spirit Himself bears witness 

with our spirit that we are children of God, 

 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God 

and 

Fellow heirs with Christ, 

provided we suffer with Him in order that we 

May also be glorified 

with Him.

18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. 19 For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. 

20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the Freedom of the Glory of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. 23 And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. 

24 For in this Hope we were Saved. 

Now Hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? 

25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.

John 12:35

So Jesus said to them, 

“The Light is among you for a little while longer. 

Walk while you have the Light, 

lest darkness overtake you. 

The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.”

John 8:12

Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, 

“I am the Light of the world.

 Whoever follows Me will not walk in darkness, 

but will have the Light of Life.”

1 Thessolonians 4:1

Finally, then, brothers, we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, just as you are doing, that you do so more and more.

Zephaniah 3:17 

"The LORD your God is in your midst, 

A Mighty One 

Who will Save 

He will 

Rejoice over you with gladness; 

He will 

quiet you by His Love;

He will

Exult over you with loud singing”

Micah 6:8 

He has told you, O man, what is good 

and 

what does the LORD require of you 

but to do justice, 

and 

to love kindness, 

and 

to walk humbly with your God?

Matthew 7:14 

Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many.

1 Chronicles 16:27

Splendor and majesty 

are before Him;

strength and joy 

are 

in His Place.

Proverbs 15:23

To make an apt answer is a joy to a man,

and a Word in season, how good it is!

Revelation 7:9 

After this I looked and saw 

a multitude too large to count, 

from every nation and tribe and people and tongue, 

standing before the throne 

and 

before the Lamb

Ecclesiastes 9:8

Let your clothes always be white

And

Do Not let the oil of gladness be lacking on your head.

Revelation 3:16

So, because you are lukewarm,

 and neither hot nor cold, 

I will spit you out of my mouth

Matthew 7:21-23

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’ ”

Congress See the People

Work for these People.

Let your Reasonableness be known.

Luke 7:11-17

Soon afterward He went to a town called Nain, 

and 

His disciples and a great crowd went with Him. 

12 As He drew near to the gate of the town, 

behold, 

a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow, and a considerable crowd from the town was with her. 

 And when the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, 

“Do not weep.” 

14 Then He came up and touched the bier, and the bearers stood still. 

And He said, “Young man, I say to you, arise.” 

15 And the dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother. 16 Fear seized them all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and “God has visited his people!” 17 And this report about Him spread through the whole of Judea and all the surrounding country.

 James 4:8

"Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you."

Isaiah 40:26-28

Lift up your eyes on high and see: 

Who created these? 

He who brings out their Host by number, 

calling

 them ALL by name; 

by the Greatness of His Might.

Abba, Father God,

1 Corinthians 15:58 

Therefore, my beloved brothers, 

be steadfast, 

immovable, 

always abounding in the work of the Lord, 

knowing that in the Lord 

your labor 

is not in vain.

Jesus, You stayed on topic. 

Your ministry was short. 

Your Words accurate and truthful. 

Even as You sat to talk to Your people, 

You were making a way to the Cross. 

Jesus could have chosen all things 

and, instead, He chose to serve us. 

Saving us to become His. This is work. 

And worth all of life - to know Jesus. 

Draw us near to you, O Lord. 

We need You, Jesus, far more than we are needed. Amen.

Thank You, Jesus Christ Our LORD!

ABIDE

Dwell in me,

Dwell in us,

Dwell in those we Love,

Help us to seek You first.

And we will finish well, 

in Jesus Christ. 

Help us seek and find 

and bring,

to become,

 more Heaven

to this earth.

Thank You

Ephesians 4:11-15 ~ He Gave †

 

 

1 Peter 2:25 

For you were like sheep going astray, but you are now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your Souls.

Mt. Horeb Ten Commandments

John 21:17 

The third time He said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” 

Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” 

He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.” 

Jesus said, 

“Feed My Sheep.”

Luke 2:14

“Glory to God in the highest,

and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”

15 When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.” 16 And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger.

Mark 10:13-15

13 And they were bringing children to Him that He might touch them, and the disciples rebuked them. 14 But when Jesus saw it, He was indignant and said to them, “Let the children come to Me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the Kingdom of God. 15 Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God like a child 

shall not enter it.”

Gen 49:24

Yet his bow remained unmoved;

his arms were made agile

by the 

Hands of the Mighty One of Jacob

From there is the 

Shepherd, 

the Stone of Israel

Luke 2

8 And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. 10 And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” 

And 

Suddenly there was with the angel 

A multitude of the Heavenly Host 

praising God 

Yesterday

Today

and

Tomorrow

Ephesians 4:11-15

And He gave 

the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers,

to equip the saints for the work of ministry,
for building up the body of Christ,
until we all attain to the unity of the faith
and of the knowledge of the Son of God,
to mature manhood,
to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,
so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes.

Rather, speaking the truth in love,
we are to grow up in every way into Him who is the Head, into Christ.

Jesus, Son of God, Highest of All Names

Began His Ministry with 12 men of anxieties, wonder, spiritual blindness, bravery, great fears and faith. Jesus was fully able to pick. 

With His Father, Jesus places Himself even as an infant with two parents of wondering hearts. Willing, like Abraham, to move where God calls. And like Abraham, Jesus' parents had questions.

St. Augustine, 400 A.D.,  is incredibly well known as one of the people of God unwilling to pick Jesus in the early part of his life. With a very praying parent. The Patience of God as Living Water, willing to go where He will. And St. Augustine was to find Jesus and live in His Gifts. And in the Promises of Jesus.

The Light shines and has not been overcome with darkness.

The BBC Sutton Hoo Helmet.

 The backyard 1939 discovery was found by a widow recovering from her grief with her young son during a type of self-quarantine/isolation.

Sutton Hoo helmet was King Rædwald 600 A.D. of East Anglia and found as the whole UK Nation was enthralled to find the description of the iron one piece helmet is described in Beowulf.

King Rædwald was buried as a Christian.

With this amazing helmet on his left shoulder. He had followed Wodan and Rome, and worshiped Caesar. He was buried in his ship. UK, after all, is an island. The garnets above the eyes, cut like sunglasses, complete with cut garnets and gold-inlay with large eyebrows were from India. This is a well-traveled King.

And on King Rædwald's right shoulder are his two silver spoons, from finding Jesus and deciding in burial to dedicate himself to Jesus Christ.

The Helmet was on the King's Left Shoulder.

Ship King Rædwald is buried in.

The Two Spoons are Baptismal Spoons.

Evidently, King Rædwald preferred to be Sprinkled in Baptism.

The Spoons are engraved to Jesus and to St. Paul

Wodan is recognized to be a god of war — Satan. 1 John 3, we read today, fits as the BBC explains Woden about 19 minutes. King Rædwald leaves Oden and Caesar. Reverts some and is buried with Jesus on his right shoulder.

Beowulf, the Nation was delighted to find, has exactly described this Helmut. 

Amazing finding how intellectual and well-traveled the 7th century was. 5th Century England is the first Christian Missionary work was sufficiently recorded. We find Patrick in Britain and Ireland was really on the cusp of Jesus Light of the world.

This is a unique YouTube find to discover what time at home can lead to. 

Found by Edith Pretty during home stay grief recovery.

Galatians 6:9

Let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due time 

we will reap if we do not give up.

Consider the areas where Covid was being Overcome. In 2021.

Our friends saw their family leave the Carolina's to spend all summer in Colorado. My son vacationed in Colorado. My son called me from Aspen, Colorado and said this vacation wasn't a good idea, and he was worried. He was shoulder to shoulder with all the other unknown vacationers on the packed sidewalks of Aspen. 

However, Colorado didn't have many national reports of incredible closures and burdens. 

Amazingly, the Covid numbers stayed very low. The elderly strictly mitigated. Colorado closed indoor events like theater and restaurants. 

Never closed was: outdoor dining, hiking, strolling on the sidewalks.

Colorado had Declining Covid Numbers since November 12.

Overcoming.
