Luke 7:11-17
Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain.
And his disciples and a large crowd went along with him. As he approached the town gate, a dead person was being carried out—the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her.
When the Lord saw her, his heart went out to her and he said, “Don’t cry.”
Then he went up and touched the bier they were carrying him on, and the bearers stood still.
He said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!”
The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.
They were all filled with awe and praised God. “A great prophet has appeared among us,” they said. “God has come to help His people.”
This news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and the surrounding country.
"That is - impossible". If you heard that story from a person at work, if you were rushing and they were telling you, you might be very, very frank.
And your day progresses busily - yet the co-worker comes back and says,"Look here is Stan and he saw this too. With his own eyes." Stan glowingly tells the same impossible story. Well, they have never, ever told you a story like this, but they look too gleeful. Could be a scam. (Hey, Stan, Got him!) You are now busy and uncertain and annoyed, "Ok, wow, thanks -." You reply and you say, "I am very, very busy."
And the deadline is met, but you missed.............
Actually, in Oklahoma a teen-age boy was brain dead from a head on collision. the machines and the doctors and the family knew to be dead for hours - he had checked he was an organ donor. The medical people came in with the tools - to break his skin - he had Rigor mortis. And the tech screamed because this teenager clamped her hand and said, "No." He had only had his mom there? No, his entire extended family. The whole small town in Oklahoma prayed for this teen - who recovered. Every Church in town asked for prayer.

Forty-eight days after being declared dead, Dunlap returned home, where Dan Coffin presented him with the pocketknife that proved he was still alive.
And the woman in New Jersey who had cancer and died. She was turning black with Rigor mortis when she was wheeled into the hospital morgue. Fortunately, a heart attack had finished her off. You can't find her on Google now either. Or her oncologist. But she was perfectly well even after the nurse described how her whole body turned black and stiff as her skin died and she held on. And she dreamed Jesus said, "I will heal you." And He did. She was perfect. Way, way, way back in 2010.

What if you had been alive and attended the real and factual funeral of that widow and her only living son? And you spoke of this your entire life - telling people Jesus Christ the Lord didn't even touch that living young man or use His Hands - He merely touched the bier from afar and spoke - to make Life.
And all your life you've rejoiced Jesus Christ has defeated death.
Suddenly
Life can change.

Multitudes came to mourn Jesus as He died. Multitudes came to say we Know Jesus Lives. And people will say in their lives exactly as Martha did to Jesus - "Where were You when we needed You?" The reply is always the same through the millenniums. Jesus is on God's Plan. He has not wavered.
We cry out like the Psalms David and Solomon chose and Asaph wrote:
Psalm 74
1 O God, why have you rejected us forever?
Why does your anger smolder against the sheep of your pasture?
2 Remember the nation you purchased long ago,
the people of your inheritance, whom you redeemed—
Mount Zion, where you dwelt.
3 Turn your steps toward these everlasting ruins
These days do not surprise Jesus:
Luke 17:22
Then he said to his disciples, "The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it."
I lost my daughter. My daughter had been my plan from about the time I realized I could have children of my own some day. This was utterly devastating to me. I have lost my dad - Daddy - twice. I have lost people when the wild winds of life - rage and howl.
The choice - we can surely be like Job's wife - cuss God and die.
Or we can be honest, struggle through the times far from good and read Elijah. Who knew what it was to stand up, take a stand and feel as if you'd like to die later. And Elijah discovered the still voice of God compels us to love ourselves, to Hope in God and struggle to fight the Good Fight to the Gates of Heaven. Elijah ended well.
David fought the good fight and ended well. Nathan helped.
Solomon, it's rather unknown, spent many years in the high places begging God to do things Solomon's way and eventually Solomon rediscovered God has a Plan and Solomon ended well.
Hezekiah fought the good fight - and ended well.
Jeremiah fought the good fight - and ended well.
John fought the good fight and - ended well.
Titus fought the good fight - and ended well.
Luke fought the good fight and ended well.
Mark fought the good fight and ended well. Abraham, … Isaac... Jacob... JESUS!
Give us this day.

He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
Isaiah was a visitor of Almighty Father God's Eternal Kingdom unto His Throne. Isaiah 49 tells us there are Highways, Hills and Nations. God tells us in Revelation of His Love of Color. Nations and Nations in Heaven.
The Creator of Heaven and Earth are the Same. The Earth displays His Majesty in New Zealand and across China
Not all roads in Heaven need gravity
Abba, Father God,
Dwell in us and help us
to always seek You first.
To be filled with Your Love, and see Your Glory.
The Wonders of Your Way.
Your Scriptures and in Your Power, every one of us will bow at the Name of Jesus.
Jesus, You appeared in the Power of the Grace of God offering Salvation to us all.
In every Nation. For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
And this is Your free gift to us.
Father, You want all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
Faith calls us to Trust in You.
You have planned eternal life, we will know You the only true God,
and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.
We have a hope in You, there will be a resurrection of both the just and the unjust.
Freedom in Jesus.
Father God will render to each one of us according to our life, choices and faith.
You will give eternal life; but for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will not be Heaven.
There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven
given higher than Jesus.
We pray as we face eternity we have told with great effect the name of Jesus - that our families in Heaven not only include our blood families - but include the nobility - the true nobility is those who look to Father God knowing He Loves us. And we will be for us in Jesus Christ.
We pray for our Nation.
We pray for the healing of God's Good Creation after the Pandemic.
We pray for our families to have Peace.
And pray for Elliott to heal.
Thank You, Father God,
Texas has not flooded with only smaller rains than we thought.
Please continue with Your Mercy!!!
For healing and for guidance we ask
in Jesus.
Amen.
Matthew 4:19 "
“Come, follow Me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”
Daniel 4:3
How great are His signs, and how mighty His wonders!
His kingdom is an eternal kingdom
Isaiah 49:8
This is what the LORD says: "In the time of my favor I will answer you,
and in the day of salvation I will help you;
I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people,
to restore the land and to reassign its desolate inheritances"
Isaiah 49:10
They will neither hunger nor thirst, nor will the desert heat
or the sun beat down on them.
He who has compassion on them will guide them and lead them
beside springs of water.
