Isaiah 12 ~ With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation

 







Isaiah 12



In that day you will say:

“I will praise you, Lord.
Although you were angry with me,
your anger has turned away
and you have comforted me.

2 Surely God is my salvation;
I will trust and not be afraid.
The Lord, the Lord himself, is my strength and my defense;
he has become my salvation.”

3 With joy you will draw water
from the wells of salvation.

4 In that day you will say:

“Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name;
make known among the nations what he has done,
and proclaim that his name is exalted.

5 Sing to the Lord, for he has done glorious things;
let this be known to all the world.
6 Shout aloud and sing for joy, people of Zion,
for great is the Holy One of Israel among you.”



We began one of our Church Services learning of Jesus sky-writing in Orlando. Don't you love when a great memory happens. Picturing our family with Jesus over us. Love this.



Good telling the Grace of Father God. Undeserved. Pervasive. Jesus is God is Love.




We've all been put on a path. 

Finding our way past difficulty, knowing Jesus is above us. In us. Surrounding us. Growing us.

And as most paths, we are all in different aspects of the journey. 
Some of the Larger Cities are struggling with crime.

Some counties have seen very little problem with crime.

We see inflation. And some stores are reporting record profits.  I noticed today Walmart
is trying hard to present items fairly. Shopping from Google is a good idea. 




Why do we do what we do in Life?

To be able to say the Lord has need of us, is to find our lives have Meaning.

Human beings will have their needs change as life progresses. What we call meaningful won't always have meaning for the relationship. Parents, children, marital needs. To find we please God is going to center us in all stages of peace, problem or as life changes. Even when we have to decide God's Word gives us Faith to believe our daily lives have meaning.



Upward.
Give The Lord God Almighty our cloak over the dust and muck.

The only thing we can give God, God has not first given us is - genuine and sincere Thanks. Jesus tells us permanent prayer conversation.

To ask for More Heaven. To give us This Very Day. To meet the needs of Today. Forgiveness. Protection. Being eternally delivered. Finding God would give us today a glimpse of His Kingdom. To see today - His Power. To know His Glory. God has an uplifting journey in His Plan.

Find other Helpers finding/seeking/enjoying/renewing/reminding us and seeing and celebrating Good in God's gifts. Seeing the Spirit of God in one another. Finding the Light of Jesus Christ in mankind.





Jesus Discusses us in Hunger or Fruitfulness

Let's remember, Jesus pleased, no Jesus actually Thrilled. Nathaniel in John 1 to find Jesus saw Nathaniel praying under a fig tree.

Currently, most of us are in a storm. We are hungering for the usual, regular pattern of life, we hunger for safety. We hunger for crowds, we hunger for gathering, we hunger not to be watching the news at home. We hunger not to worry. We hunger for our regular life. We hunger for schools, for safety, for family. We hunger not to be lonely and isolated.

Jesus was talking about praying against: fruitlessness or Lack. Lack of ~ Love, Joy, Peace, Comfort, calm to find patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness. Jesus is never toast dunked in milk. Jesus is angry to find the fig promises, shade, rest, comfort, beauty, sharing, eating and renewal. Jesus does not say, gosh the fig tree is out of figs, golly. Jesus isn't saying forgive the figgie tree.

When Jesus is talking about not finding figs - He is talking about financial crisis. Health Crisis as life seemed golden. Finding a circle of friends has gone sour. He is talking about having life interrupted with news reports of life Crisis.

Jesus gave us a parallel to the 'Fig Tree'. Of Course!

The parallel is a Crisis Parallel.

This particular Crisis Parallel - is for a specific people:
  • those of us who have overly trusted in ourselves
  • those of us who trust we are righteous,
  • and those who have treated others with contempt
  • those of us struggling to appear all is good in our lives
  • those of us worried about our families and their future

In this time, we all struggle with the concept of Authority. 
Government, Financial, Employment or just attitude seen around our lives.

The "Author-it-Tay" has decreed 'everybody' shouldn't give God a thought and cared nothing for other people.

And then the underprivileged, the overlooked, the powerless, the loser person, the suck it up - it is what it is - decided to keep coming back and talking about the 'situation.'

Because of the impudence and persistence, The "Author-it-Tay" is starting to wonder about this 'decree'. The "Author-it-Tay" is feeling bothered. And has decided for comfort. In fact, The "Author-it-Tay" has decided for selfish comfort. (Are we surprised?)

And surprise of surprises, Jesus tells us we think of Father God exactly this way! 

What we proclaim about Authority is what we think about in God.  What we think about in life.
And how we really deal with problems, as well.

Exactly, as if we are going to strip down to the fact Jesus sees us exactly as we really know we are. CS Lewis called this concept, "Podfoot".

Oh! You better be nice, you better be good, Santa God has seen you as you are!!! He sees you when you're sleeping. He knows when you're awake. Oh! You better watch out, you better not cry. You better not pout, I'm telling you why - Santa Claus is not coming to town. 

However, Father God likes you as you are.


Picture real emotion in this:

Luke 18

18 And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart. 2 He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected man. 3 And there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’ 4 For a while he refused, but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man, 5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will give her justice, so that she will not beat me down by her continual coming.’” 6 And the Lord said, “Hear what the unrighteous judge says. 7 And will not God give justice to his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them? 8 I tell you, he will give justice to them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”

9 He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt
.


Paul completely understood. Paul understood:

Romans 7:15-20
15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.



John, the Longest Living Disciple said this: Pray. Spit it out to God.

1 John 3

19 By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before him; 20 for whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything.

21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God; 
22 and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him. 

23 And this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us. 24 Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God, and God in him. 

And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us.

Whew. God sees and discusses our heart - yes - and has given us the Highest Privilege to find God knows who we are and Loves us.

Jesus Christ:

1 John 4:19
We love because He first loved us





Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God."

Jesus is Way, Truly Creator of all Life and ahead of us when we pray.

Matthew 20

A great crowd followed Him. 



Jesus did not ask them to say Vouchsafe. Jesus did not ask them to say, "Creator of All, Dear Sir." In fact, what these men had was Desire. Faith. Courage. Earnestness. Sincerity. The prayer was really pretty straight forward. One thing, Jesus did not ask these men to assume Jesus didn't require a few words of explanation. And these men did what Mark's Gospel in Chapter 11 said, "Jesus has the Authority to do what we ask Him."

In Proverbs 8, Jesus delights in the Master Workmanship of His Father. Yes. Jesus knew Acts 2, God was going to share what God has with Jesus. And Jesus lives within Acts 2, Jesus is going to Give what He has to the blind men.

Hear, O Israel. The Lord Your God is One. The Word of God Stands Forever.




Abba,Father,

You have given us Jesus. Jesus is Love. Dwell in me.
Help us find You first. Seek You first.
And finish well in Jesus Christ.

This Virus has the whole world wondering if we have all the news. If the Rainbow of Noah remains. And we all have an idea Your Word is Good yesterday, today and tomorrow.

We'd like the Light of the world in mankind to touch Your Heart and have this virus and this illness to be gone. Healed. We would like Your Word to be Spoken, "He Healed Them All."

You have given us wonderful and sincere prayer of Jesus saying more Heaven on this earth. We would love to see more of Your Kingdom, Your Power and Your Glory. We would like to pray this with "Give us this day."

And we'd love to pray so effectively, we wouldn't look back and say, 'If only we had understood more of Your Plan to enfold in our Prayer." You know Your Hope and Future for us better than we do.

We would cover what lacks in this prayer, with Your Favorite Word:Jesus.

Jesus, Wonderful Counselor, Almighty God pray for us now and always. Amen.


The Dove was sent forth
believing God 
would fulfill His Word.
His Goodness.
God's Faithfulness.
Abba, Daddy. 







God reminds us
Blessing us with prayers for more Heaven on earth,
His Good Will be done.


To You, our Father, be the Glory
Our God is an Awesome God! Amen
and Alleluia
in Jesus Christ and His Glory!





Matthew 13:31,32

Jesus put before them another parable: “The Kingdom of Heaven 
is like a mustard seed that a man planted in his field.

 Although it is the smallest of all seeds, 
yet it grows into the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, 
so that the birds of the air come 
and 
nest in its branches.”






♔ LORD JESUS SAVES

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. <><
