Exodus 16:10-27, 31-36 ~ The Glory of the Lord






Exodus 16:10-27, 31-36


Behold, the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud. 

11 And the Lord said to Moses, 12 “I have heard the grumbling of the people of Israel. Say to them, ‘At twilight you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread. Then you shall know that I am the Lord your God.’”

13 In the evening quail came up and covered the camp, 
and in the morning dew 
lay around the camp. 

And when the dew had gone up, there was on the face of the wilderness a fine, flake-like thing, fine as frost on the ground. 15 When the people of Israel saw it, they said to one another, “What is it?” For they did not know what it was. 

And Moses said to them, “It is the bread that the Lord has given you to eat. 16 This is what the Lord has commanded: ‘Gather of it, each one of you, as much as he can eat. You shall each take an omer, according to the number of the persons that each of you has in his tent.’” 

17 And the people of Israel did so. They gathered, some more, some less. 18 But when they measured it with an omer, whoever gathered much had nothing left over, and whoever gathered little had no lack. Each of them gathered as much as he could eat. 

19 And Moses said to them, “Let no one leave any of it over till the morning.” 20 But they did not listen to Moses. Some left part of it till the morning, and it bred worms and stank. And Moses was angry with them. 21 Morning by morning they gathered it, each as much as he could eat; but when the sun grew hot, it melted.

22 On the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers each. And when all the leaders of the congregation came and told Moses, 

23 he said to them, “This is what the Lord has commanded: ‘Tomorrow is a day of solemn rest, a holy Sabbath to the Lord; bake what you will bake and boil what you will boil, and all that is left overlay aside to be kept till the morning.’” 24 So they laid it aside till the morning, as Moses commanded them, and it did not stink, and there were no worms in it.

 25 Moses said, “Eat it today, for today is a Sabbath to the Lord; today you will not find it in the field. 26 Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day, which is a Sabbath, there will be none.”

27 On the seventh day some of the people went out to gather, but they found none



31 Now the house of Israel called its name manna. 
It was like coriander seed, white, and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey. 32 Moses said, “This is what the Lord has commanded: ‘Let an omer of it be kept throughout your generations, so that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.’” 33 And Moses said to Aaron, “Take a jar, and put an omer of manna in it, and place it before the Lord to be kept throughout your generations.” 34 As the Lord commanded Moses, so Aaron placed it before the testimony to be kept. 35 The people of Israel ate the manna forty years, till they came to a habitable land. They ate the manna till they came to the border of the land of Canaan.



2020 is Officially many things, but perhaps the most expressive phrase is from Star Trek:
 "Damage Report."

We saw the Christmas Star arrive this year for the first time since Galileo and the Plagues of Naples. We have lived seeing Rome sing as they sang in the evenings of other Plagues. The Joy and the concern and the beauty. The resilience. The fragility of Life becomes the Joy and Strength of Life.

We should never forget during this very unpleasant year, how many times God heard our prayers.

Sincerely, we helped one another before we all began to melt into Pandemic brain. Signs of dreams for mankind before the historically typical violence and crazy anger erupted. Brain fry.

And again we heed how many prayers were answered. 
The Violence seemed ready to scorch the earth. And did not. Even as the fatalities increase and weariness prevails. Do not give up Hope. The New Year Dawns as medical history is made. The research papers are Nations working together. Incredible Team work from the Top and flowing down to our own calming down. 



 Romans 5:3-4 
Not only that, but we glory in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope



Glory is not an average word. 
Glory involves Awe. Awe inspires us to think higher thoughts out of the daily dog path. Glory draws us up to think of far away in time, in spirit and in miles. Glory pulls people together in Wonder. The Bible explains Glory reveals hearts. All different levels of suffering, coping and overcoming.  Glory often requires a good measure of Overcoming.








Romans 5:3-9 

 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.

 And hope does not put us to shame because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. 

 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. 

God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by His Blood,
 how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through Him!






Abba, Father God,

By You all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible,
Jesus brings many sons to glory. 
For Jesus is come to our Father's glory with His angels, 
and He will reward each person according to what he has done.



Today:
We are praying for Dee and Wayne. Like Hebrews 11. For 20 years, we have seen Wayne donate 40 hours a week to Church Office difficult and demanding work for Volunteer Time. Wayne's Gracious Gift. We have seen Dee run Altar Guild. Bible Study and Daughter's of the Cross.  We have seen Dee study St. Stephen's Ministry, work Pro-Life and take Amazing Father Francis and Judith MacNutt Prayer  Ministry Class. And in this Ministry Class we prayed and found our group alone prayed for a 2nd time mouth cancer patient, who graciously accepted prayer for the first time and arrived at surgery to find no oral cancer. Healed. Completely. We prayed for an 89-year-old Priest to stay forever in bed dying of heart failure, who got up and began to go 2 miles a day in exercise and make trips to Texas and the grocery store. We prayed Hurricane Ike wouldn't crush our houses with trees and found this last summer, our answered prayers held as I lost a Magnolia without damage and Dee lost her two huge Oaks without damage. Hurricane Ike saw a tornado in our backyard, trees flung East, South and West and didn't damage our home. Our friend lost the stairs to her home's garage apartment and no damage to their home. 

We prayed over knitted blankets and heard the comfort and healing the hospital patients found in the Lord Jesus and in our group's prayers. We prayed for Elliott to live and Elliott found remission, we pray for total healing. Jesus heard us pray twice for financial restitution and found this 3 times. We prayed for Wayne to survive a botched pacemaker and he did. Jesus heard us pray for Wayne to survive his trauma for the hip operation and Wayne did well. Jesus heard us pray for Wayne's sudden bleeding eye and Jesus healed Wayne. Dee had a no big deal nose skin cancer and literally had half of her nose shaved off two summers ago like a skeleton. Dee's next two surgeries Jesus heard us all pray again 
and Jesus restored Dee's nose to a hundred percent of normal.

Jesus has been hearing us pray in Amazing and Wondrous Ways. We ask Jesus today for Wayne to be healed of the Covid he tested Positive for. Dee tested Positive for Covid and we pray for her Healing as well. We ask Jesus to allow Dee and Wayne to heal from this as easily as we have seen all His Prayers answered. 

Lord Jesus please heal, love, forgive, and heal them all
 in Your Love and Mercy. Amen.


We lift up Elliott to be completely healed.


“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among
 those with whom He is pleased!”

Father God, help us to do the Good Works You have prepared us to walk in. 

For the ones we Love and the People You have given us. 
For our Churches, places of work, our states and Nation. 
The People who are Your Beloved, to ALL
cover them with Your Name in strength and mercy. 

We live abundantly on the Word of God, You have provided.


We Pray for the Republic.
We the People all have Family and Loved Ones 
we have fought and lived and died
for our Freedoms.

We the People pray for the Election not to be allowed to be feared to be dishonest.
We pray for the signatures and times to be valid.
We pray for the observations to be valid and up close and bipartisan.
We pray for the Legislature Laws of this Nation to be Upheld
and not rigged with pandemic miseries.
One Nation Under God
with
Liberty and Justice for All.

We pray for Truth.
Knowing in the Truth is where Peace and Integrity 
with Love and Courtesy Dwell.

Jesus, please dwell in us.
Jesus, please dwell in those we Love.
Favor our Nation, dwell in us. Please.

We ask to know to seek You first in all aspects of Life.
Knowing we will see and be more of Heaven on earth.

We ask the Vaccine to be delivered smoothly 
and THANK GOD 
for the Vaccine.


  
 Proverbs 16:9 
The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.

Jeremiah 29:11 
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, 
plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.


Isaiah 40:31 
But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; 
they shall walk and not faint.


Abba, Father God,

You have told us to always pray with Hope.


Jesus help us in this Nation to be in Your Word and see more Joy.
Covered in God's Love,
President Donald Trump, the First Lady and Their Family
Vice President Mike Pence, the Second Lady and Their Family.

Luke 1 ~ Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things that have been accomplished among us





Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow


 

Luke 1


1 Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things that have been accomplished among us

Just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word have delivered them to us

It seemed good to me also, having followed all things closely for some time past, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, 
that you may have certainty concerning the things you have been taught.


5 In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah, of the division of Abijah. 

And he had a wife from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.  And they were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and statutes of the Lord. 7 But they had no child because Elizabeth was barren, and both were advanced in years.

8 Now while he was serving as priest before God when his division was on duty, 
according to the custom of the priesthood, he was chosen by lot to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense. 10 And the whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense. 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
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. And he must not drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb. 16 And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God, 17 and he will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared.”

18 And Zechariah said to the angel, “How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years.” 

19 And the angel answered him, “I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I was sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news. 

And behold, you will be silent and unable to speak until the day that these things take place because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time.” 

21 And the people were waiting for Zechariah, and they wondered at his delay in the temple. 22 And when he came out, he was unable to speak to them, and they realized that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he kept making signs to them and remained mute. 23 And when his time of service was ended, he went to his home.

24 After these days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and for five months she kept herself hidden, saying, 25 “Thus the Lord has done for me in the days when he looked on me, to take away my reproach among people.”

26 In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God 
to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 
to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, 
of the house of David. 

And the virgin's name was Mary. 28 And he came to her and said, 
“Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!”

But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. 3


0 And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 

And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, 

And  He will Reign 
over the house of Jacob forever, 
and of his kingdom there will be no end.”

34 And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?”

35 And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God. 36 And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. 37 For nothing will be impossible with God.” 

And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.

39 In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a town in Judah, 40 and she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. 41 And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb. 

And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, 42 and she exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! 43 And why is this granted to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44 For behold, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. 

And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.”

And Mary said,
“My soul magnifies the Lord, 47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
48for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant.
For behold, from now on, all generations will call me blessed; 49
for he who is mighty has done great things for me,
and holy is his name.

50 And his mercy is for those who fear him
from generation to generation.

51 He has shown strength with his arm;
he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts;

52 he has brought down the mighty from their thrones
and exalted those of humble estate;

53 he has filled the hungry with good things,
and the rich he has sent away empty.

54 He has helped his servant Israel,
in remembrance of his mercy,
55as he spoke to our fathers,
to Abraham and to his offspring forever.”

56 And Mary remained with her about three months and returned to her home.



Now the time came for Elizabeth to give birth, and she bore a son. 
And her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her. 59 And on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child. And they would have called him Zechariah after his father, 60 but his mother answered, “No; he shall be called John.” 61 And they said to her, “None of your relatives is called by this name.” 

And they made signs to his father, inquiring what he wanted him to be called. 63 And he asked for a writing tablet and wrote, “His name is John.” 

And they all wondered. 

64 And immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, blessing God.

And fear came on all their neighbors. 
And all these things were talked about through all the hill country of Judea, 66 and all who heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, “What then will this child be?”

For the hand of the Lord was with him.


67 And his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied, saying,

68 “Blessed be the Lord God of Israel,
for he has visited and redeemed his people
69 and has raised up a horn of salvation for us
in the house of his servant David,
70 as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old,
71 that we should be saved from our enemies
and from the hand of all who hate us;

To show the mercy promised to our fathers
and to remember his holy covenant,
73 the oath that he swore to our father Abraham, to grant us
74 that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies,
might serve him without fear,  in holiness and righteousness before him all our days.

And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High;
for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways,
77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people
in the forgiveness of their sins,

Because of the tender mercy of our God,
whereby the sunrise shall visit us from on high
to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the way of peace.”

80 And the child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the wilderness until the day of his public appearance to Israel.











Bringing the first sentence of Luke's Gospel of Jesus Christ to us through the sweep of time.



Revelation 14:6

I saw another angel flying in midair, 
and he had the Eternal Gospel to Proclaim 
to those who live on the earth
--to every nation, tribe, language and people.




We know Jesus followers called Christians in the Book of Acts were persecuted in Rome within 16 years of Jesus being crucified and Resurrected. 

We know the Temple persecuted the followers as soon as multitudes when home and only daily thousands remained, making the letters of the Rabbis' showing outrage for the continued daily miracles in the Highest Name of Jesus.

Josephus tells us multitudes would be around 1.5 million to 2 million believers Jesus brought together as the multitude.














What Are These Narratives Luke Speaks Of?

We can read many authors claiming to be Lost Books of the Bible and suddenly Jesus does something so un-Jesus, you know and know and know this Lost Book of the Bible is fable. One Lost Book of the Bible has Jesus make mud, clay pigeons fly and immediately sets fire to His fellow children in the Village. Not Jesus. Not God. Not Holy Spirit. Not Bible. Not Word of God.

Luke is Not Telling us of Lost Books of the Bible.


Didache Greek: Διδαχή or The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles 

Go back, look at the Church Histories of the early 1st Century -  to the beginning of the 2nd - Find Cohesion on 27 books of the New Testament. These are the Proclaimed Good News of the Church of Jesus Christ.  The Church in Alexandria, home to the world's most famous library is the rare Church outside accepting more than the 27 books. The message of Jesus Christ standings strong.

In fact, the first article coordinating this is the Didache Greek: Διδαχή  
or The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles 

A brief early Christian treatise, dated by most scholars to the mid to late first century. The first line of this treatise is "Teaching of the Lord to the Gentiles (or Nations) by the Twelve Apostles".

The text has three main sections dealing with Christian ethics
 Rituals such as Baptism and Eucharist
And Church organization. 

Didache Greek: Διδαχή  
or The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles 
Is considered the first example of the Church Orders.

However, The Didache is second-generation Christian writings
Compiled what the Church should believe, following most closely 

The First Generation Christian Writings is the Gospel of Matthew because Jews converting to Christianity happened the most at first.












Like today, the news and events of the First Century world - seemed uncertain.

People were especially looking for a belief system with solace and direction for "bad events" happening around them. Death and trouble could erupt at any time.

Never before was God the Father shown to be a Father 
~ Civilized, kind, and a gentle way of looking at the world. 

God our Father offered a promise of salvation and forgiveness. Father God, who could be found, One who would run to His Child. Not one that had to be appeased or sacrificed to. No other religion or belief system has offered this type of special support for beliefs or personal salvation. 

Did this make a vast left turn? God never, ever asked for Child Sacrifice. In fact, God asked His Children to be separate from Child Sacrifice.

Jesus Christ was readily accepted by many wherever His mercy was taught. 
Letters tell of the miracles resulting in belief. Changing lives and the world.

Paul and the Twelve Apostles traveled extensively establishing Jesus Christ in major cities throughout the Empire. The first Christian communities outside of Jerusalem appeared in Antioch, Ephesus, Corinth, and the political center of Rome. The Church would begin to draw city states from behind their walls.  The original Church communities were founded by apostles and numerous other Christians, soldiers, merchants, and preachers in northern Africa, Asia Minor, Arabia, Greece, and other places.

Paul was Responsible 
Paul was bringing the Christianity to Ephesus, Corinth, Philippi, and Thessalonica.
 By the end of the 1st century, Christianity had already spread to Rome and Greece, Asia Minor and Syria. Long past the life of Paul, major cities of Rome, Ephesus, Antioch and Corinth served as foundations for the expansive spread of Christianity in the post-apostolic period. 
Why? Due to its Love shown in civilized, kind, and gentle ways, Christianity spread very quickly throughout Asia Minor.







Thesseloniki Church of David - House Church - 4th Century A.D.
An actual House Church of The Book of Acts, found working Today.













We know from John's Gospel Chapter 16, Jesus came to this life with Joy. 

We wonder if Jesus laughed. There is no question. Joy is filled with only Joy and Love. 
Numbers 6 says God Lifts His Countenance. Shines. God is Smiling.

God still sees this troubled planet as His Creation - good - Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.

We look with anticipation ~ Christmas Lights! 
Believing the Light in all mankind is Shining.

We are welcoming Christmas! 
 The same as Jesus, welcoming His time with us as Grace upon Grace. The Light shines in the darkness and the Light is not overcome.





Abba, Father God,

By You all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities;
All things were created by You and for You.

What are we, that You are mindful of us, 
mankind for millenniums that You care for us?

You made Jesus and made Him a little lower than the angels; You crowned Jesus with glory and honor and put everything under His feet. Now crowned with glory and honor because Jesus suffered death, and in His Grace, Jesus might taste death for everyone.

Jesus brings many sons to glory. 
For Jesus is come to our Father's glory with His angels, 
and He will reward each person according to what he has done.


But Not Today:
Jesus Christ will send His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other. We will see with our own eyes, God's right hand--with angels, authorities and powers in submission to Him. The city of the living God. 


Today:
We are praying for Dee and Wayne. Like Hebrews 11. For 20 years, we have seen Wayne donate 40 hours a week to Church Office difficult and demanding work for Volunteer Time. Wayne's Gracious Gift. We have seen Dee run Altar Guild. Bible Study and Daughter's of the Cross.  We have seen Dee study St. Stephen's Ministry, work Pro-Life and take Amazing Father Francis and Judith MacNutt Prayer  Ministry Class. And in this Ministry Class we prayed and found our group alone prayed for a 2nd time mouth cancer patient, who graciously accepted prayer for the first time and arrived at surgery to find no oral cancer. Healed. Completely. We prayed for an 89-year-old Priest to stay forever in bed dying of heart failure, who got up and began to go 2 miles a day in exercise and make trips to Texas and the grocery store. We prayed Hurricane Ike wouldn't crush our houses with trees and found this last summer, our answered prayers held as I lost a Magnolia without damage and Dee lost her two huge Oaks without damage. Hurricane Ike saw a tornado in our backyard, trees flung East, South and West and didn't damage our home. Our friend lost the stairs to her home's garage apartment and no damage to their home. 

We prayed over knitted blankets and heard the comfort and healing the hospital patients found in the Lord Jesus and in our group's prayers. We prayed for Elliott to live and Elliott found remission, we pray for total healing. Jesus heard us pray twice for financial restitution and found this 3 times. We prayed for Wayne to survive a botched pacemaker and he did. Jesus heard us pray for Wayne to survive his trauma for the hip operation and Wayne did well. Jesus heard us pray for Wayne's sudden bleeding eye and Jesus healed Wayne. Dee had a no big deal nose skin cancer and literally had half of her nose shaved off two summers ago like a skeleton. Dee's next two surgeries Jesus heard us all pray again 
and Jesus restored Dee's nose to a hundred percent of normal.

Jesus has been hearing us pray in Amazing and Wondrous Ways. We ask Jesus today for Wayne to be healed of the Covid he tested Positive for. Dee is coughing up a storm and we pray for her Healing as well. We ask Jesus to allow Dee and Wayne to heal from this as easily as we have seen all His Prayers answered. 

Lord Jesus please heal, love, forgive, and heal them all
 in Your Love and Mercy. Amen.


We lift up Jesus to all His Glory
and ask for Elliott to be completely healed.



In the same way, I tell you, 
there is 
Rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God 
over each one of us in God's Love.

“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among
 those with whom He is pleased!”

Father God, help us to do the Good Works You have prepared us to walk in. 

For the ones we Love and the People You have given us. 
For our Churches, places of work, our states and Nation. 
The People who are Your Beloved, to ALL
cover them with Your Name in strength and mercy. 

We live abundantly on the Word of God, You have provided.


We Pray for the Republic.
We the People all have Family and Loved Ones 
we have fought and lived and died
for our Freedoms.

We the People pray for the Election not to be allowed to be feared to be dishonest.
We pray for the signatures and times to be valid.
We pray for the observations to be valid and up close and bipartisan.
We pray for the Legislature Laws of this Nation to be Upheld
and not rigged with pandemic miseries.
One Nation Under God
with
Liberty and Justice for All.

We pray for Truth.
Knowing in the Truth is where Peace and Integrity 
with Love and Courtesy Dwell.

Jesus, please dwell in us.
Jesus, please dwell in those we Love.
Favor our Nation, dwell in us. Please.

We ask to know to seek You first in all aspects of Life.
Knowing we will see and be more of Heaven on earth.

We ask the Vaccine to be delivered smoothly 
and THANK GOD 
for the Vaccine.


  
 Proverbs 16:9 
The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.

Jeremiah 29:11 
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, 
plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

James 4:13-15 
Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”— yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. 
What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. 
Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.”

Isaiah 40:31 
But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; 
they shall walk and not faint.


Abba, Father God,

You have told us to always pray with Hope.
Revelation 1:6 
 Made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God and Father
--to Him be the glory and power forever and ever! 
Amen.


Jesus help us in this Nation to be in Your Word and see more Joy.

The end of Trouble.
Help this Virus end quickly, safely

We rest in the Hands of Our Good Father.

Poodle Puppies and our dry ice fun.

John 21:25

Jesus did many other things as well. 
If every one of them were written down, 
I suppose that even the whole world 
would not have room for the books that would be written.






 In Jesus. Amen.

About Me

My photo
Email registry at bottom.! “All Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16). Men “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say. The Bible is unique; comprised of 80 separate books, & written over a period of thousands of years by more than 40 writers with one Author, spanning the centuries, different states of peace & war & different situations in life. The Bible answers the question: of who is God, who is man & what can their relationship can be. Although the Bible was written on perishable material and copied by hand for many centuries, its accuracy is not in doubt, proven by Dead Sea Scrolls and papyrus from 2,000 years. The Bible has survived persecution & criticism to be read with great interest in each generation. The Bible gives witness to the greatness of the Creator. A loving Father concerned for all of his creation. With each verse of the bible witnessing to God is love and the multitude & vastness of His attributes. The Bible was written for you. <><
