The Wind of the Holy Spirit
Like Moses
Fire was seen and did not consume.
Our God is an Awesome God
He Reigns!
Acts 2:6
And at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one was hearing them speak in his own language.
Acts 5:12 -15
Now many signs and wonders were regularly done among the people by the hands of the apostles. And they were all together in Solomon's Portico. 13 None of the rest dared join them, but the people held them in high esteem. 14 And more than ever believers were added to the Lord
The number of sacrifices, recorded at the Temple, would number around 2 million participants on High Holy Days. About 400,000 at each Temple Holy Day Service, several times a day.
Multitudes had been an aspect Jesus had known all His Life.
Luke 2:11-14
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.”
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
14 “Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”
Luke 23:27
27 And there followed Him a great multitude of the people and of women who were mourning and lamenting for Him.
Joel 3:14
Multitudes, multitudes, in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
People will forever disagree if the day is all at once, or like the people who come back from near death experiences - immediately. Time belongs to God. It is His invention. I suppose He can use time any way He wants. We, who call upon the name of the Lord Jesus, will find out what time is all about in Heaven when we get there.
To do the Post, the Scripture is picked out in advance and this is an old Post I am rearranging. The Old Post maybe merely a verse. Or Photos. The interesting Wonder of God, today, Edward and I were talking about time in Heaven. Edward has a theory, when we die, we will be with our loved ones, even if they are living, because time is anything God would care for time to be. In Edward's theory, you will meet your unborn great and great-great-grandchildren. The theory is a dear, kind, heartwarming theory! Heaven is where you are never without the ones you love. And you have to see the point about Love and God.
Certainly, it is far more cheerful than ghosts and haunting and all things creepy. Or Granny peering through a window of Heaven. Yet, Jesus has given us a concept of Heaven. We find in Scriptures, Our Abba likes clouds. Scriptures have many references. And even time, in Heaven, we have been given a glimpse of God's workings of time in Heaven. Jesus tells us His Salvation gives us a new Heaven. Lucifer is cast out of Heaven. We know Jesus brought us a new Heaven. And so, time has an indication.
God can do anything.
He upholds the Universe with the Power of His Word. Can God change time? Yes, Hezekiah learned this. Sarah and Abraham have Issac. John 6, the boat carrying Jesus and all 12 Disciples, was immediately at the other side. The Theory of Relativity.
What does the Book of Acts, Chapter 2,
say about the time when the wood becomes dry?
17 “‘And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
and your young men shall see visions,
and your old men shall dream dreams;
18 even on my male servants and female servants
in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show wonders in the heavens above
and signs on the earth below,
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke;
20 the sun shall be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood,
before the day of the Lord comes,
the great and magnificent day.
and your young men shall see visions,
and your old men shall dream dreams;
18 even on my male servants and female servants
in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show wonders in the heavens above
and signs on the earth below,
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke;
20 the sun shall be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood,
before the day of the Lord comes,
the great and magnificent day.
21 And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.’
And for centuries, the Catholic Church has kept Consecrated Hosts weeping human blood from multitudes, multiple centuries ago. To find in this century, there are 4 blood types, with all the Hosts being blood type AB+.
Jesus has left footprints all over his years and those after witnessing to The Book of Acts. Roman History shows this was something they feared, to various levels, for 300 years.
We find from Josephus, multitudes were part of the Temple on High Holy Days.
Now consider some Jesus miracles, requiring so much faith, the centuries and millenniums prefer to sail past.
Matthew 12:15
Great multitudes followed Him [Jesus], and He healed them all
Luke 4:404
40 And when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.
Matthew 15:30
Large crowds came to Him, bringing the lame
Great crowds came to him, bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute and many others, and laid them at his feet; and he healed them.
Jesus spoke the personal language, we know intimately. Jesus spoke to Mary and Martha after Lazarus died. Jesus is personally your Savior.
Acts 2:6
each one was hearing them speak in his own language
Mark 7:3
After he took him aside, away from the crowd, Jesus put his fingers into the man's ears. Then he spit and touched the man's tongue
Abba, Father
We have so many memories of Easter.
Help us to give our family and those unborn
new and valuable memories of Easter.
Next year, I hope to collect photos and do a book of photos
of Easter.
Jesus, You are the Reason for the Season.
In Your Mercy and Graciousness,
we find Strength in Jesus to have Joy.
To look to new days.
To plan on goodness
set aside what irks
to find what is
the Pleasure of God.
Let Your Love be our Path
Your mercy, what we bring to our lives.
Let Your Peace pervade these times of change being made.
In our Faith to have Hope.
In our Hope and Faith to have Love.
And then our lives will show
we have You Dwelling in us.
Know us. We welcome You, Father God, to know every aspect, every cell, every hope
and every second. Be with us. Thank You.
Dwell in the lives of those we love.
Help them live life wisely and with Love.
Help us to seek You first,
Help us to put Your Love on all we do,
Your Mercy in our words and actions.
Prayer can be very, very personal
and even needs to be, to have God speak our language to Him:
In my life, You have been with me
when my parents divorced,
when my hair was used to pull me out of bed,
when a parent gave me my deceased daughter's gifts for Christmas.
When people have left.
Coldness is not Love.
Yet, should not make us cold.
And we turn life around each day, to make life a blessing
in Jesus Christ.
Abuse is not Love.
Abuse cannot be fed.
Yet Mercy is the Truth when we
seek Reconciliation that would Please You.
And understand
not all things are
Reconciled until Heaven.
Even our dreams of Heaven,
will tell us this Reconciliation.
Pain is meant in life
to understand the difference between
earth and Heaven.
To aim higher.
To walk the path of welcome and Love.
And know the real mediator
between
God and man
is
Jesus Christ.
Pain is explained and examined in Your Word
Your Word is Real.
Sobriety is important in living pain free.
God answers all Prayers.
And we have to be aware and awake
to find the Blessings
and the right path.
You have explained to us to give to one another
what we would want to receive.
We can give You our hearts
and say we did our best.
And know Your Pleasure.
You give us the Joy
of developing ourselves
to be
Your Child.
Flawed, Precious, Chosen and Forgiven.
Beautiful in ways,
Beautiful in heart,
Beautiful to love,
Beautiful to hope,
Beautiful in
Jesus Christ.
Lord
and
Savior.
All our Alleluias are in Jesus. Amen.
