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.

Zephaniah 3:1-2, 9-13 ~ not trusted, God, not drawn near †

There are two sides to being called a nationalistic church. The other side is a fertility driven worship, allowing every odd behavior of sexuality and having little regard for family or for infants. Not caring. About self and self sexuality. Grooming children to serve sexually. Grooming children to ultimately end their opportunities and gain a slave. All for the convenience of self. And pleasure.

Entertainment in prime time is introducing MORE DESTRUCTION:

Polygamy.

The decade old trend in the ghettos: A man takes a wife, and he asks for 3 to 5 children with her career each day. And suddenly the man is not available. Has low pay out of town. One day, he appears with another wife and 3 to 5 children. He beats her and says he will take her children. She will pay him. What was a monogamous marriage with trust is now a pimp situation. The man can still be kind. He wants her money and her sex. And the other women, because more will be added. He explains this is the way the world used to work and does again.

I did see in the news about 4 years ago, a man who had 5 monogamous wives turned on the man. He is in prison and beaten up terribly. Conroe, Texas. Good News. Even the Alexander brothers, who run security services, like guards and surveillance, eventually are, Bill Cosby, caught.

As we will catch and stop the slide of churches who promote those who protect priests from bullying, sexual abuse of all kinds, embezzlement, idiots,  immature christians rejoicing in sin or liars . Con men.  EVIL.

THIS IS STOPPED ONE WAY. TO BELIEVE THE SCRIPTURES. END THE SLIDE AND CON of DESTRUCTION. 

JESUS CHRIST
IS THE WORD INCARNATE.

The ministers and priests

who tolerate

working in these

conditions

Do not bless themselves

or others.

This week I saw Headlines

The "progressives" who believe women's sports should have sexual harassment and fetish should embrace Polygamy.

THIS IS NOT TRUE PROGRESSION.

DEAR GOD.  Let us adopt the truth that pre-born women and pre-born men are safe. Then in this safety, girls and women have the exclusive right to be called women and cherished. Not given gaslighting and slavery.

  

Baal worship a fertility cult centered on Baal

The deity of prosperity and agricultural prosperity. 

It was widely practiced in the ancient Middle East Cannanite —often involving child sacrifice, 

ritual prostitution, 

and ecstatic rites. 

Presented a major spiritual challenge to biblical monotheism. 

  

Baal Worship  

The Deity: Baal ("Lord" or "Master") was worshipped as the giver of rain and fertility to the land, cattle, and humans. He was a "dying and rising" god, reflecting seasonal changes.

  

Rituals & Practices: Worship involved offering human babies, animals (bulls, lambs), grain, and wine, but in times of crisis, it escalated to human sacrifice, particularly of firstborn children. The infants were chopped up, throat first, and their blood was poured on the dirt to make prosperity. Good crops.

    

Cultic Prostitution: Fertility rites involved sexual acts during worship, often involving priests and priestesses to encourage Baal to ensure agricultural abundance.

Biblical Context: 1 Kings 18

The prophet Elijah confronted this worship on Mount Carmel, demonstrating God’s power over the rain. 

Zephaniah 3:1-2, 9-13

Thus says the LORD:

Woe to the city, rebellious and polluted,

 to the tyrannical city!

She hears no voice,

    accepts no correction;

In the LORD she has not trusted,

    to her God she has not drawn near.

For then I will change and purify

    the lips of the peoples,

That they all may call upon the Name of the LORD,

    to serve Him 

with one accord

From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia

  and as far as the recesses of the North,

    they shall bring me offerings.

    On that day

you need not be ashamed 

    of all your deeds,

    your rebellious actions against Me;

For then will I remove from your midst

    the proud braggarts,

And you shall no longer exalt yourself

    on My Holy Mountain.

But I will leave as a remnant in your midst

    a people humble and lowly,

Who shall 

take refuge in the Name of the LORD

   

The remnant of Israel.

They shall do no wrong

    and 

speak no lies;

Nor shall there be found in their mouths

    a deceitful tongue;

They shall pasture and couch their flocks

    with none to disturb them.

The oil of gladness instead of mourning

The garment of praise 

instead of a faint spirit;

that they may be called 

Oaks of Righteousness

 The planting of the Lord, 

that He may be glorified.

They shall build up the ancient ruins;

    they shall raise up the former devastations;

they shall repair the ruined cities

 The devastations of many generations

We have to see what the problem is and do what we all can do to keep the policies favorable to the family structure intact.  The Word of God made plain.

The interest rates. The HOA structures. The School Districts.  And the Churches. Take the recovery from the pandemic and Biden inflation and make the Good Choices. 

Abba, Father,

Jesus spoke Your Word 

telling us always to Pray 

and Have Hope.

We lift up to You, Father God, 

our most pressing prayer request, 

knowing You have heard and answer.

Thank You, Father God, 

and 

Blessed be the Name of Jesus the Lord. 

Amen.
