Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is living and active,
sharper than any two-edged sword,
piercing to the division of soul and of spirit,
of joints and of marrow,
and discerning the thoughts
and intentions of the heart.
Sometimes the Word of God leaps ahead of you, and everything God speaks ties together. Superseding all your striving and you must be still and know God.
Isaiah 35:6
Then will the lame leap like a deer, and the mute tongue shout for joy.
Water will gush forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert.
When we read Scripture, say The Book of Revelation Chapters 1 and 2, briefly considering all 7 Churches God speaks of. You will see verse 91 and I will see verse 131. Yet, this is the Word of God and feeds us where we are. This is why the Gospel accounts are not merely repeats and instead explain man's brief time on earth considering Father God and His Gift of Life.
John meets Jesus 60 years later, leaving on a Sunday afternoon as the walls melt and John is face to face with Jesus. Jesus is the Comfort of God to us. Comforter. Helper. Jesus helps us all uniquely as He healed on earth. John's astonishment is met with Jesus moving on to the Mission of saving the world in Jesus Christ. Was this comforting to John? Probably. Jesus is tailoring the Most High God's Universal Plan of Salvation to John's understanding of the Eternal and Jesus. Would we necessarily be comforted? No. But John has Help and Comfort. Why would we think so? God the Almighty's Plan would be far larger than anything we know. Yet, God upholds the Universe with His Word. Our God knows the Heavenly Host by Name. He is fully sufficient to Uphold the Universe, Fulfill His Word, All His Promises and comfort us individually.
Jesus moves on to John acting as Jesus' Helper. And they begin to explain what to say to the 7 fragmented Churches.
Jesus is thinking of the end of days. Jesus is speaking with John who understands which of the 7 earthly Churches have challenges, opportunities and areas of growth. John is in awe and in Hope and with the Future. Today.
Jesus is not only doing the impossibility of the Red Sea parting, the 600,000 Children of the Exodus Fed, the 5000 fed and the Millenniums knowing of this Grace, Jesus is speaking to us Today.
The Seven Churches are the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. You might be Sardis today or Ephesus next week. You are the Temple of God. And you might not be getting along with your cousin, your mom or dad, sibling or spouse, but they are and you are Temples of God when Jesus dwells in you. Ask Jesus to dwell in you.
John explains and proclaims God. God is Love. God isn't feeling loving today. God isn't favoring you more today. Our God is Love. My God is always Love.Our God's Love is more than we understand. God's Love Upholds the Universe and offers you, as a Child of God, doing God's Love and Joy, Eternity. God's Love reaches to one person and covers all His Plan.
Jesus tells us about the 7 Churches.
John 17:13-23
Now I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
14 I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15 I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. 18 As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. 19 And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.
20 “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, 21 that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, 23 I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me.
Jesus is telling us of differences and separation. And Jesus Overcomes. Jesus seeks for us to Live in His New Commandment - To Love One Another. Jesus makes us understand we do our best and the forces of good and evil in life will be the Prodigal Son's story. Jesus prays for us to enjoy ourselves and find Joy in God's Strength.
Solomon, briefly, had God. And Solomon put all his eggs in his own wisdom and pleasure. Solomon went up to try to get God to accept Solomon's terms and Solomon found bitterness and unhappiness while demanding God give Solomon what Solomon wanted.
Jesus makes this clear. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Providing all things to be made new in Jesus. To live with Hope and a Future. To Pray with Hope. Jesus just asks we act in Love. Let Love be Sincere. Let Love be our greatest debt to one another. Jesus asks us to Love ourselves and God and let this Love spill over to such depth, we feel this love from each other.
Jesus, John reported, had so much going on in His Life, we couldn't possibly record Jesus each day. Jesus has Joy. Our Jesus asks us to Live for God to be our Hope and Future.
Abba, Father God,
Like the Book of Hebrews, the 11th Chapter, the quotes about faith with Gladness, Happiness, go on and on. More than we can know or imagine.
Help us to Seek You first.
May the Word of God living in us,
Strengthen us in
all Goodness.
In the Name of Jesus for ourselves,
and those we love. Amen.
So the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness
and praise spring up before all nations.
Jesus bless Elliott with Your Willing Healing!
Please
Father God help us to fill those we love with renewed hope for years ahead
filled with love.
We ask in the Highest name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Let the Amen be of His Will being the Exact Nature of
Jesus Christ.
Blessings for the Goodness of Your Will and Plan. Amen!
