Mark 6:53-56
When they had crossed over,
they came to land at Gennesaret and moored
to the shore.
54 And when they got out of the boat,
the people immediately recognized Him
and
ran about the whole region
and
began to bring the sick people on their beds
to wherever they heard He was.
56 And wherever He came, in villages, cities, or countryside,
they laid the sick in the marketplaces
and
implored Him
that they might touch even the fringe of His garment.
And as many as touched it
were made
well.
Scribes of Scripture in the Old Testament said The Word of God comes forth without punctuation and, later, Scribes put in the dot and Iota. Jesus said He puts in the dot and Iota. Jesus fulfills the Word of our Father.
And there are a lot of 'ands' in these Scripture verses. As if the excitement of seeing God fulfill His Promises to the generations of fathers. The idea of Heaven is opening to them. They are breathless with awe and wonder of The Lord.
The images we all can picture of touching Jesus. The Christ of God the Almighty. Jesus, the Son of God. Our Savior.
The memories, the growth in the Love we have for The Lord, they grow in our mind, filling our soul with a Tree of Love and memories and Scripture. So many things in Scripture are living water, they flow and honor the One Who is Good.
Mark 10:17-18
17 And as He was setting out on His Journey,
a man ran up and knelt before Him and asked Him,
“Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
18 And Jesus said to him,
“Why do you call me good?
No one is good
except God alone.
To reach out and find Jesus. To have His Touch. Is to find He is good. This is what we should find when we reach out to find Jesus in books, sermons and in our heart.
John 10:28-30
I give them eternal life, and they will never perish,
and
no one will snatch them out of My Hand.
My Father, who has given them to me,
is greater than all
And
no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.
I and the Father are one.
Psalm 103:13
As a father shows compassion to his children,
so The Lord shows compassion to those who fear Him.
It seems so medieval to ask about fearing The Lord.
And yet, when we read CS Lewis, in Narnia, we fully comprehend Aslan. We are filled with understanding to know the fear of the storm swamping the boat. The knowledge of the Power of God when the raging storm became peaceful. Immediately.
We are filled with understanding, knowing the fear of those asking for healing. Miriam saw the Exodus, heard the VOICE OF GOD and knew how much Moses and Aaron loved the Lord, yet, Miriam did not want to trouble The Almighty when she was ill.
We have complete understanding knowing why the messengers of God, Light, always say, "Fear Not."
Is God a fearful Spirit, to be terrifying on our journey?
To read about the water flowing to His Throne, called Bright and Shining water, is to be reminded of these verses of Mark 6. When we cross to the other side. When we pass on to Heaven. As Bilbo did in J. R. R. Tolkien's, "The Hobbit." We are comforted. Help, Helper, Comfort, Comforter is what The Lord calls His Holy Spirit dwelling in us, calling us to want the favor and touch of God.
The Lord's water is Bright and Shining and leads the path through His Kingdom, where we can boldly go to have access and Mercy.
John gives His Gospel to say he has seen, known, heard, touched, lived and moved with Jesus Christ. John calls Jesus, God of Love. God of encouragement.
The Lord opens His Home for the Feast, and invites us all in.
Like Aaron spilling blood in the inner sanctum.
God looks at mankind and He says with truth and sincerity, we are all sinners. And in faith for the Love and the sacrifice, the atonement of Jesus Christ, like Aaron, we are invited all in. The Lord has no wavering doubt, it will be messy. And He can calm the Storm.
The touch of the Lord is to be made well.
To overcome fear. To not be lame, blind, deaf. Having strength in body, mind
and in the Holy Spirit. To have the Lord's comfort in His Holy Spirit is to give comfort. To expect the best in one another and see our gifts. Honoring one another. Seeing our blessings of more Heaven on earth with gratitude. Making the Journey more like Heaven. Being more Heaven on earth.
Becoming the seed that grows, and in the branches, the birds have comfort and help to come and Nest. The Kingdom of Heaven is like a Tree.
And we believe in the Lord's Salvation and hearing our prayers to align in His Good Will.
The Tree of Salvation
Salvation is like Zacchaeus climbing the Tree. Surely, we recognize Him, but in being Jesus, will He recognize our lives and hearts, our souls as being His. We brought more Heaven to earth by believing Him.
The Touch of Jesus is healing. We surely recognize Him.
Jesus Christ
is the same yesterday,
today,
and forever.
Abba, Father!
WE PRAY
BLESSINGS
And
Gratitude
Every Day
WE PRAY
for
THE NATIONAL CATHEDRAL
To be
the Voice
of LOVE
Joy, Peace, Patience,
Goodness,
Faithfulness,
gentleness
and
SELF CONTROL
And ask You
for appropriate leadership.
Worldwide leaders
condemned the erratic and unfaithful Sermon
given by Bishop Budde.
Who previously condemned
President Trump
for saving St. John's Church from arson,
saying President Trump wasn't kind
to the homeless during arson,
and not a person to hold up the Bible.
Then condemning him for following the vote
the Vote of the People
for The Laws of the Land
and ceasing gender mutation on children,
as the Catholic Church Condemns
as a failure to provide Dignity to each Person.
Let's pray
for the departure
of what
is not
good.
Worldwide leaders said,
"The Sermon represents a church
not led by Jesus Christ and His Teachings
and Word.
A broken down
liberal refuge institution seeking only donations."
We pray the Blessing
of Growth
upon the Church
Proclaiming
The Entire Word of God
and the
'Growing' Portion
of the Episcopal Church.
And the Anglican Church they belong to.
Remembering
the fall of the Episcopal Church
from
17 million people
to 500,000.
The Anglican Church of The United States
fuels the genuine and compassionate
blessed outreach
of the Worldwide Anglican Communion
GAFCON
and not the portion of the
Episcopal Church in
THE NATIONAL CATHEDRAL
We Pray
for Leadership
in The National Cathedral
Shining
The Light of Love Peace and Joy
upon
The Teachings of Jesus Christ.
God of Love
God of Encouragement
God of the Bible.
The safety
of those
helping the earth
to heal.
Let evil and practicing evil
depart
far
from us
and our children.
With Your Help
We will act justly
and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with You, our God.
Cover us
in peace worldwide.
Please, Father, remember
North Carolina has flooded
California has fire we have never seen.
Give us more of
Your Strength
and Hope.
Dwell in me,
Dwell in us,
Dwell in those we Love,
Help us to seek You first.
And we will finish well,
in Jesus Christ.
Help us seek and find
and bring,
to become,
more Heaven
to this earth.
Gentle rain for California
putting out the fires
speedy insurance
claims
and fast rebuilding
realizing the standard building codes
even of Reagan
were safe.
Peace
