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 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.
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.
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.
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 our Father,
With Jesus, we pray,
for ourselves,
the Ones we Love,
the People You have given us,
This Nation trusting in God.
Our Churches.
The Nations trusting You to be the Light of the Nations.
All of Your Beloved today and tomorrow:
12 Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest. 14 The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, 15 his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters. 16 In his right hand, he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength. 17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, "Fear not, I am the first and the last, 18 and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore
More of Your Heaven upon this earth,
In Jesus, we pray, Amen.
