John 14 ~ In my Father's house are many rooms

John 14

“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. 

2 In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. 4 And you know the way to where I am going.” 

5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?”

6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”

8 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” 

9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves.

12 “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. 

13 Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.

15 “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, 17 even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.

18 “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 

19 Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. 21 Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.” 

22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?” 

23 Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, 

and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. 

24 Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father's who sent me.

25 “These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. 

26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. 

27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. 28 You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, and I will come to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. 

29 And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe. 30 I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no claim on me, 31 but I do as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. 

Rise, let us go from here.

Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.

My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.

Isaiah 40:1-8

Comfort, comfort my people, says your God.

2 Speak tenderly to Jerusalem,

and cry to her

that her warfare is ended,

that her iniquity is pardoned,

that she has received from the Lord's hand

double for all her sins.

3 A voice cries:

“In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord;

make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

4 Every valley shall be lifted up,

and every mountain and hill be made low;

the uneven ground shall become level,

and the rough places a plain.

5 And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed,

and all flesh shall see it together,

for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”

6 A voice says, “Cry!”

And I said, “What shall I cry?”

All flesh is grass,

and all its beauty is like the flower of the field.

7 The grass withers, the flower fades

when the breath of the Lord blows on it;

surely the people are grass.

8 The grass withers, the flower fades,

but the word of our God will stand forever.

Jeremiah 31:10
Hear, O nations, the word of the LORD, and proclaim it in distant coastlands, saying: "The One who scattered Israel will gather them and keep them as a shepherd guards his flock.

Isaiah 51:12
I, even I, am He who comforts you. Who are you that you fear mortal man, or a son of man who withers like grass?

Isaiah 49:13
Shout for joy, O heavens; rejoice, O earth; break into joyful song, O mountains! For the LORD has comforted His people, and He will have compassion on His afflicted ones.

Isaiah 51:3
For the LORD will comfort Zion and look with compassion on all her ruins; He will make her wilderness like Eden and her desert like the garden of the LORD. Joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and melodious song.

2 Corinthians 1:4
Jesus comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.

We are going from earth's worn and tired - to the Kingdom, 

Power and Glory of God our Father.

God is going to give us glimpses. 

We have to look through the darkened mirror and find what God is bringing us.

Abba,

Jesus, show us the Father. Do not be worried. God prepares a place for us.

You will show us a way to God. Jesus is sure He explains carefully and with Love and tenderness, a way to God's Love.

The Works of God lead us to His Kingdom, His Love, His Power and His Glory for us. Jesus has revealed God to us.

Jesus does not show us God and leave us. Jesus never leaves us. He creates a Place for Agape to Live and Love and Dwell. Jesus glorifies God to show us God's Love.

Whatever Jesus would Give us is established in God saying His Word. We will reverence God's Law and please God doing His Purpose. God's Peace, Love and Joy will dwell in us. God is interweaving for the Goodness of His Love and Purpose.

God will not leave us orphans, He will be manifest to us. His Home and His Place will arrive.

Jesus tells us in advance, Jesus is God's Love, to keep us in comfort and our hearts without worry.


May Your Willing Blessings renew us daily and we will rise up in Your Mercy each day and not forget our truths. May we finish this life well. And have Your Willing Blessings pour upon us. Upon the people we Love. The Nation, the Nations trusting in Jesus, the faithful, the generations unborn.

We ask Your Willing Blessings on this New Year. We pray for Dallas in distress. For Australia, for the workers of the fire to be protected. For all fire and all harm to cease. For God to create a path of Peace, Joy and Love. For the people of Puerto Rico to have the Comfort God will give to heal all.

And the saints of God, the Children of God are blessed to pray together all day, all night, all seasons over and in God's Good Creation for the Will of God to bring more Heaven to earth. Fulfilling the Word of God Jesus is. Love Forever. Amen.
