Psalm 97
The Lord reigns, let the earth rejoice;let the many coastlands be glad!
2 Clouds and thick darkness are all around him;
righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3 Fire goes before him
and burns up his adversaries all around.
4 His lightnings light up the world;
the earth sees and trembles.
5 The mountains melt like wax before the Lord,
before the Lord of all the earth.
6 The heavens proclaim his righteousness,
and all the peoples see his glory.
7 All worshipers of images are put to shame,
who make their boast in worthless idols;
worship him, all you gods!
8 Zion hears and is glad,
and the daughters of Judah rejoice,
because of your judgments, O Lord.
9 For you, O Lord, are most high over all the earth;
you are exalted far above all gods.
10 O you who love the Lord, hate evil!
He preserves the lives of his saints;
he delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
11 Light is sown, dawns, for the righteous,
and joy for the upright in heart.
12 Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous,
and give thanks to his holy name!
Jesus created a very important moment for Nathaniel in John 1. Nathaniel knew he had been seen in his inner core. Jesus had seen Nathaniel pray under the fig tree.
Nathaniel was never going to be the same again. Jesus had reached the center of Nathaniel. Recorded for millenniums.
Mark 5
27 She had heard the reports about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment. 28 For she said, “If I touch even his garments, I will be made well.” 29 And immediately the flow of blood dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease. 30 And Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone out from him, immediately turned about in the crowd and said, “Who touched my garments?” 31 And his disciples said to him, “You see the crowd pressing around you, and yet you say, ‘Who touched me?’” 32 And he looked around to see who had done it. 33 But the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling and fell down before him and told him the whole truth. 34 And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease.”
Jesus creates in us moments where we have touched God, the Almighty, Father. When we pray and we know we have entered His Kingdom, His throne, His home, His heart.
Abraham believed God and in his faith, he was counted as righteous.
James continues the idea Abraham knew daily 3 millenniums ago. To touch the Heart of Abba in prayer. Jesus had talks with His Brother James. Later James would recall and he would tell us of the Law of God. What is the Law? We shall live by every Word of God. God's Word. The Truth. James tells us of living with His Brother Jesus. Walking along the streets of Nazareth. "James, you can always ask for wisdom and this will be given to you." "The Prayers of a Righteous Man, Availeth Much." Recall with me - James was not always very righteous to Jesus. And Jesus knew better.
The woman who reached out across from - her home - to travel to Jesus - reached out and touched Jesus.
This sudden understanding - lasts forever. A fruit of God is - a revelation of God - an Epiphany is - very important to the Beloved of Jesus who receives His Word within them. This knowing - the Truth - is to Rejoice with the Truth. Bears all things. Believes all things. Hopes all things. Endures all things. A gift of God - never ends.
20 But he said to them, “It is I; do not be afraid.” 21 Then they were glad to take him into the boat,
and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.
And is fully explained by the woman who reached out - from her home - to seek Jesus - to touch Jesus. To be changed by Jesus. To touch God and feel God.
Mark 5
27 She had heard the reports about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment. 28 For she said, "If I touch even his garments, I will be made well." 29 And immediately the flow of blood dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease. 30 And Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone out from him
Abba,
We always ask Jesus to pray with us and give us His Grace. We ask for the Holy Spirit to be increased around us and in ourselves and the ones we love.
Abba, You nourish, gather and tend the birds - You are our Heavenly Father. And you say we are more excellent than the birds.
Jesus nourishes and cherishes His Church, just as we nurture and care for our own bodies. Jesus makes us one Body of His for the Church. Isaiah 44 tells us You provide, cedars, cypress and the oak, and strengthens for Yourself the trees of the forest. You plants the fir tree, and the rain nourishes it. These mighty trees are in progress and will be used to build the Church. This is the path of the Body of Christ. To be built up for Your Love. To be vessels of Your care and delight in Your creation and mankind. You tells us You, Father God, You see all of mankind and delight in the world, Your creation. God of Encouragement.
Just as we long for and pray over our own Children, we know Jesus often longs to gather our children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and we pray for their hearts to yearn for the Love Jesus is - God of Love.
Creation began with Light. Jesus is the Light of the World. Given for us to Live Eternally.
2 Corinthians 4:6
For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God's glory displayed in the face of Christ.
You, Abba, are the riches of our inheritance as saints. Glorious to live forever with You in Your Home and Kingdom.
You are the Alpha and Omega. God of all. Your 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. Your body, the fullness of Jesus, who fills all in all.
You are the Word of Truth. Your Gospel is our Salvation. We believe in You. We are sealed in the Holy Spirit. We have our guarantee. We inherit Life forever more from the Counsel of Your will.
We are blessed. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has chosen me and you for His own.
We lift up high our cares with His Love for our hopes.
We lift high our loved ones. We are filled here.
We lift high those struggling with storm, storm recovery, for Mexico city.
For the islands hurt by the Hurricane. For God to speed His Goodness to them.
For those who help with the storm - willingly. For their tireless effort.
We thank You God. We Thank You God. So many have helped one another.
Thank You seeing the help.
In the Name of Jesus we give thanks for all the organizations of Christians - working for His Good and His Glory.
Blessings of Jesus surround us all.
In Jesus. Amen.
♔ Lord Jesus Saves! †
