John 14 ~ Believe in God

 





John 14





14 “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. 

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? 

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. 4 And you know the way to where I am going.” 

5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” 

6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”

8 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” 

9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves.

12 “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. 

13 Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.

15 “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, 17 even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.

18 “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19 Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 

20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. 21 Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.” 

22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?” 

23 Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. 24 Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father's who sent me.

25 “These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. 

27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. 28 You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, and I will come to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. 

29 And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe. 30 I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no claim on me,

31 but I do as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. 

Rise, let us go from here.







Reading the news is depressing. What is the condition of the world - Really?


The top countries people are leaving right now – moving out of and moving towards

Top 30 popular destination countries -


Top 30 countries people are leaving


When it comes to the motivations behind moving, more than half of respondents said they had done so for better jobs prospects, while a third relocate in pursuit of a new challenge or adventure.

And what is the condition of the world today? No one can very rightly judge this. As you travel only the USA you find vast differences between states. Be that Middle America, Southern America, East Coast, West Coast.

Perhaps what we really need to recall is Jesus telling us in John 14, Jesus tells us the truth.








No one can Judge.

86% of the United States of America says they pray and truly expect God to hear them.

My opinion, the Truth is you are far more likely to find the fulfillment of The Book of Revelation as a personal end of life. And in the call to live and die - order our lives for presenting your eternal component, soul to Father God.

The USA has had a history of Truth understanding. The World's Oil Shortage of 1970 was declared to be the end of oil. We stayed in lines for hours to pay increasing costs. Bogus. Yes, yes this was very Bogus.

College increasing costs are - Bogus. And why? It used to be the Federal Government put Grants and perpetual gifts to make college feel they had enough income to have low costs. Like Canada does today. We can't seem to stay out of wars far, far, far away and more people are turning to the Military to get the GI Bill. Now Israel announces people will do a mandatory two year stint in the Armed Forces. So every one is military and there are no wars created.

What is good about less 4 year college programs and that debt? It seems, according to the Associated Press, that colleges have gone very odd. And so they are far too expensive to stay there long. More and more Junior Colleges are being used and the Student Body is a motivated and learning crowd. A lot of Junior College Students have jobs and understand the realities of economics. God sweeps in to make difficulty a new beginning.

 A re-birth on a nation unwilling to forgo learning. This is a Nation that prays.









We read the news and we are - complainers.

That is the truth. Armchair justice.

What is the result?

We are diligent about the shape of the world. We are like the words of the Movie "Gladiator - 'We are Entertained!'"

And in becoming complainers - we become more timid. More willing to settle and say, "Thank God, that's not me."  Billy Graham was part of a rebirth of faith in our nation. Do not pooh - pooh the faith of the Nation. People who fall down - pray. People who fall down 7 times and get back up the 8th time - pray. The news would like to record things that are bizarre as being the new 'compassion', the new norm. This same Media records 86% of the Nation believes God will hear them when the Pray. Do not forget this. We have a great fact, something very good to know, about faith.

The History of the World in the woolly first century had a world expanding in directions - unheard of. Roads, highways, water, law, diligent enforcement. Reliable ships to travel with schedules. Taxes. Goods and luxuries imported from far, far away. New moralities. New information. New religions. New religious thought. Enforced opinion. Weird, weird weather. New types of laws. More military.
New ways law was enforced and regulated.









What is the condition of the world? What is your attitude? Don't you count? Billy Graham held a candle up in Football Stadiums and he said, "All of the lights are out in front of 250,000 people can you see this candle? Can you see this Candle? This is the Light of Jesus Christ from 2,000 years ago and we see His Light." A Nation believed again. The indwelling of the Holy Spirit moving us along. God of Encouragement.


The condition of the world is ... your life. 
What you will give to the people you do brief business with. The people you live near in your neighborhood where the lawns are perfect and people live inside. The condition of the world is your welcome to them. The condition of your life is your ATTITUDE. Most people change jobs, but even the people who stay 30 years take away about one person they will continue with all their lives. Find that person.


This week an interesting conversation with someone I've known for 16 years. A state of the world question. A wonderful person I know through the vital Church. Coming from an imperfect background. Starting out. Asking questions. Asking me - who writes a blog about Jesus Christ - why is marriage important today. I'm imperfect. So I was asked to sort out - outside of 'Religion and God and all that' - why is marriage important. Why isn't moving in together and staying there 'all that'. I'm imperfect enough people have honest conversations. Imperfect people discussing the meaning of culture and marriage. St. Francis said, "“It is no use walking anywhere to preach unless our walking is our preaching.” And even if we are asked to remove Jesus from the 'logic' - Jesus is the logic and in kindness, in truth, in mercy - then Jesus is part of the conversation.

Marriage is a plan of God's. John 14 tells us Marriage is a vow. A truth. We work there to be pleasing to God.

Marriage believes the other person is committed. Thick and thin. And we can put aside our natural selfish tendencies and rise up to being giving. We round out our aggressive nature to become more confident, to become more able to go more places with the idea we are supported. In short, we are 'Loved'.

Working at the Crisis Pregnancy Center, you see people looking for help. The High School Sweethearts who lived together in college - got a college degree - became engaged - lived in a neighborhood of predominately married people and in middle age - spread out, wrinkled down, got whiny kids, got more things, got more bills and want OUT. When it was uncomfortable to admit being unmarried simply said Common Law "Married". And in the bump in the road, the kindly sister-in-law says she never liked the un-wife get a new woman start over. And within two weeks the new situation was moonlight, romance and new possibilities - to return to the same situation. Thanks sister-in-law for supporting true marriage by allowing the escaping father of 3 to live with you to find real marriage.

Over and over again we find a woman has the kids, the man is free to roam. And no college costs are a legal obligation. Poverty has arrived. Or the woman is free to roam and the kids can find somewhere to land. Rare is the man with the kids.







What I like about this culture during my parent's divorce is true today. But this is a swinging gate and will hit you in the chin or the rear. My father ran off and his 30 year friends said never mind, we are busy. Unfortunately, we lost the family house, and were scraping by and most friends said never mind we are busy. America truly does not like Divorce. Jobs are kept at first for the man divorcing, but pretty soon promotions go to others. See the reality.

Marriage says I am able to overcome being just an aggressive animal who walks upright. Staying with a positive attitude that God is going to help me with real belief - makes a happy heart and a happy heart is able to see and feel and reason and know and believe and return good - because God is helping. And the circle goes around. Love.

How to stay when all is rotten. Communication. Being honest. Holding in the blurt reactions. Finding out how to communicate. Truth is where we can stay. Mercy. Knowing we are called by God to do His Plan. Then the idea we have pleased God and God is Pleased. Then all seems more right with the world.



The Pew Report. Truth. The Pew Report says marriages hold together with a college degree 2 out of 3 times. And we are facing a nation trying, trying, trying to have a college degree.  Can Do. Can Do. Can Do. With God.







Housing. When you talk with up and coming millennials - they are tremendously concerned about being able to ever own an house. Why? To have a framework where Love, Trust, Hope, Joy, and the Future can be enjoyable. And once again we face something new to us and not new to a culture of war. The birth rate is about half of what is should be to maintain the population. There is going to be housing available for future generations. A re-birth of a nation.



Is God interested in housing? If we believe we are interested in housing for these reasons - you betcha - God is interested in housing. The Exodus proves God is very interested in the welfare of Life. We all intrinsically know this. We need innovation of transportation and housing reliably priced for the welfare of the Nation. Not 60 year mortgages sweeping the land. We have seen the downfall of the British Empire over 90 year land leases.






The People God has given you. Your family. Their needs. The people who love you. Peter saw God walk upon the water. Why? Probably because John the Baptist had just died. God had fed the people - thousands of them - with His Word alone. Jesus was still nourishing people even in a difficult day. So Jesus God and fully man was walking upon the water. He might have been remembering in the middle of Herod killing John the Baptist and feeding the multitude - the days of creation - the joy in new beginning. And Peter says I want to travel with You, say the Word. This makes sense entirely if we are going to travel with God who says He IS the Light of the World, we are going to need His Help. The Word makes sense. Jesus reached out immediately to help His Child wanting to Travel with Him.


How do people travel together? Even the cohesion of Jesus and His Disciples is fraught. We get along doing the most important work in life to eternity. We pray. We have conversations with God. We act sincerely. Staying in the Truth is having ability. And we know how much Larger God is. Our Father and our Jesus bending down to "“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me." Breathing the Holy Spirit indwelling where we believe and in the last part of John's Gospel 14th Chapter ... we do this "Rise, let us go from here."


Our lives are filling in from "Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me" to "Rise, let us go from here."


The condition of the world is in God's Hands. The condition of your life is something you and God can do. Pray. Believe. Act with faith.





Father God!!!

John 14:13-14
Whatever you ask in Jesus' name, this You will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask Abba anything in Jesus' name, Abba, Jesus and the Holy Spirit will do it

We ask for More of Your Holy Spirit. In our Families, in the people You have Given us. For the up building of Love and Glory for Your Name. We ask expectantly, giving You thanks for Your works and wonders today. We give You thanks as evil is defeated.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage!
Psalm 33:12

Bless us this 2022 for the United States of America!!!

Blessing of Jesus Christ is ours. 
Amen.



God dwell in us, please, Father.
Dwell in those I love and the people You have given me.
Help us to seek You first.
And in Jesus Christ, we will finish well!


Thank God for His Goodness, covering us with the Grace we need. Amen.

Yay Jesus we will do this

About scripture-for-today.blogspot.com/

We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He has saved all who call upon His name and rely on Him for His Grace. The Scriptures are living & active and are for understanding the Lord Almighty. Biblical readings are chosen from the Ecumenical Christian Church and the Nicene Council, 325 A.D., approved Apocrypha. People remember not just from reading, but by sight and orally- an image has been added as well as audio readings. God tends to link the passages together with fascinates - this blogger, Anne-Laurel Gardere

A simple blog, scripture-for-today.blogspot

This blog is pretty simple, but for a reason. This blog isn't about agenda or me, it is for the joy and love to found by reading the Scriptures. Ultimately, it is you and the Lord.

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. <><
