“Behold, God is my helper"
Psalm 34:19
Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
but the Lord delivers him out of them all.
Most people wonder after their parent passes on, what is going on in Heaven? What are they seeing. What is said to them. Have they met other loved people. What is God going to say about this time or that time? What are the odds on, for me?
Proverbs 11:19
Genuine righteousness leads to life, but the pursuit of evil brings death.
Matthew 19:16-17
16 Just then a man came up to Jesus and inquired, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to obtain eternal life?” 17 “Why do you ask Me about what is good?”
Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”
No one is good enough. The Pharisee or the humble. We all have worries about one another. This is to put the concerns at ease. Even for ourselves, to be able to renew and encourage each other and ourselves.
1 Corinthians 2:9
But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”—
John 14:2
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?
1 Peter 1:4
To an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in Heaven for you,
John 5:24
Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.
Hebrews 11:6
No one can please God without faith. Whoever goes to God must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
Baptism is one of the signs of Life
Giving Baptism to ourselves, our children and grandchildren is something Jesus says is important.
1 Peter 3:21
And this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also – not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 4:5
One Lord, one faith, one baptism
1 John 5:6
This is the one who came by water and blood – Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.
Acts 4:12
Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name given under heaven by which we must be saved."
1 Thessalonians 4:16
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
Philippians 1:6
Being confident of this,
that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion
until the day of Christ Jesus.
1 Corinthians 1:8
He will sustain you to the end,
so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Philippians 2:16
as you hold forth the word of life, in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain.
2 Corinthians 1:5
you have already understood us in part, so that you may boast of us just as we will boast of you in the day of our Lord Jesus. 15 Confident of this, I planned to visit you first, so that you might receive a double blessing.
Philippians 1:25,26
And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith
Daniel 4:3
How great are His signs, how mighty His wonders!
His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
and His dominion endures from generation to generation.
Daniel 6:27
He delivers and rescues; He performs signs and wonders in the heavens
and on the earth, for He has rescued Daniel from the power of the lions
John 14:1
Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.
Baptize others.
Matthew 28:19
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father
and of the Son and of
the Holy Spirit
Mark 16:15
He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation."
Ask for Heaven and Salvation
Mark 11:24
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it,
and it will be yours.
Many times with the elderly, we see Grace to pass on.
And sometimes we see faith struggle as the body ages and abilities are not there. It's fine to encourage each other without putting anyone down. To broaden the conversation to be loving and merciful.
Titus 3:5
He saved us,
not because of righteous things we had done,
but because of His mercy.
He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit
So that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.
2 Corinthians 7:16
I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all things.
2 John 1:2
Because of the truth, which lives in us and will be with us forever

In His great mercy
He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ
from the dead
James 1:17
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
Jude 1:2
Mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance.
Jude 1:21
Keep yourselves in God's love as you wait
for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.
When Luke wrote, God would visit us like the Sun from on high, He meant so many things. Today, we glimpse Heaven. And seeing what Jesus does, we remember to want His Eternal Kingdom. And the people in Heaven are seeing the Word of God Manifest.
Abba, Father,
God's Good Creation.
Dwell in me
Help me to seek You first
We want to see more Heaven on earth
Help the people I love, by Dwelling in them
And we will finish well in You.
Exodus 33
Moses asked: If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people.”
14 The Lord replied, “My Presence will go with you,
and I will give you rest.”
Jesus our Living Water
Let Jesus roll down like
cleansing waters,
and righteousness
like an ever-flowing stream.
And we will be blessed indeed.
Jesus the Lord. Alleluia
and Amen.
Jesus the God of ALL.
Jesus, we pray Life and healing
Joy and Love in Harby and their children.
Jesus, God of Encouragement.
Jesus, Hope and Future.
Jesus the Lord
saves the world
Amen.
