The Joy of the Lord
John 2 records the Joy of Jesus returning home for a wedding. The Wedding of Cana
Nazareth, Mary survived their basic Watchfulness.
The Book of James 5:11-18
James, the Brother of Jesus!
As you know, we count as blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job’s perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
12 Above all, my brothers and sisters, do not swear—not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. All you need to say is a simple “Yes” or “No.” Otherwise you will be condemned.
13 Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise. 14 Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the Name of the Lord.
15 And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven.
16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.
The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. 17 Elijah was a human being, even as we are. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. 18 Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops.
Praying for Healing. I'm for this. Betcha you are too.
Jeremiah 23:23-24
Am I a God at hand, declares the Lord,
and not a God far away?
Can a man hide himself in secret places
so that I cannot see him?
Declares the Lord.
Do I not fill heaven and earth? Declares the Lord.
Healing for every system we know is in need or prayer or healing. Society. Friends. Family. News. Entertainment. Healthcare, making this word meaningful. Weather. Mass Transit instead of carcinogen, hazmat cleanup LED lightbulbs in the wastewater of trash recycling.
Everything we pray for is largely in the Hands of God. He is moving. God is working. God has His Plan. Beyond all question, without question, great indeed, by common confession. And confessedly, without controversy. And great, we confess, is the mystery of godliness.
We can see reports Christianity is dying. Pew Reports 2022 saying the Born Again Christians, or Evangelicals, have increased 6% in a year. We can see Church attendance is waning. But we ignore the 2020 Reports saying 81% of the Population was praying every day. Reports during 2020 telling us the primary usage of the Internet was Bible Reading.
Isaiah 41:8-10
But you, Israel, my servant,
Jacob, whom I have chosen,
The offspring of Abraham, my friend
You whom I took from the ends of the earth,
and called from its farthest corners,
saying to you, “You are my servant,
I have chosen you
and
not cast you off”
10 fear not, for I am with you;
be not dismayed, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Ignore the new 2020 reports saying they do not feel God deserted them? No. And this is also a Pew Report. 63% they attend Church, they just don't feel every weekend is necessary. Most go twice a month. The new report says 55% pray every day. But it's also reported Pew Reports had massive retirements as Covid hit and Pew Reports is considered to lean far left now. We also see to take most news with a grain of large salt and an Aspirin.
News about Christianity. We find what we hope to find. And grow stronger or weaken.
We all pray for more Jesus, more Heaven on earth and more Healing. More help from our Father for those who have fallen away and are in a lot of terrible hurt.
It's easier to picture God taking care of all these cares, with a world that isn't overwhelming to Him. The Universe that holds up by the Power of His Word.
Isaiah 43:1
But now thus says the Lord, He who created you, O Jacob,
He who formed you, O Israel:
Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by name
you are Mine
2 Timothy 1:2
To Timothy, my dear son: Grace, mercy
and peace from God the Father
and Christ Jesus our Lord.
Jeremiah 23:23-24
Am I a God at hand, declares the Lord, and not a God far away?
Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him?
Declares the Lord.
Do I not fill heaven and earth?
Declares the Lord.
Jeremiah 32:17
Ah, Lord God! It is you who have made the heavens
and the earth by your great power
and by your outstretched arm!
Nothing is too hard for you.
Psalm 139:7-12
Where shall I go from your Spirit?
Or where shall I flee from your presence?
If I ascend to heaven, You are there!
If I make my bed in Sheol, You are there!
If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost
parts of the sea,
even there your hand shall lead me,
and Your Right Hand
shall hold me.
Psalm 90:2
Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting
You are God.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that He gave his only Son,
that whoever believes in Him should not perish
but have eternal life.
Healing! Isn't too hard for the Lord.
Matthew 4:24
So his fame spread throughout all Syria,
and they brought Him all the sick,
those afflicted with various diseases and pains,
those oppressed by demons,
those having seizures, and paralytics,
and
He healed them.
Matthew 12:15
God's Chosen Servant Jesus, aware of this, withdrew from there.
And many followed him,
and he healed them all
Luke 4:40
Now when the sun was setting, all those who had any
who were sick with various diseases brought them to him,
and he laid his hands on every one of them
and healed them.
Luke 6:19
And all the crowd sought to touch Him, for power came out from Him
and healed them all.
John 6:29
Jesus told them, "This is the only work God wants from you.
Believe in the one He has Sent."
