The Shroud of Turin
has profound
levels of radiation
after being sequestered in
preservation
radiation free areas for thousands of years.
Let there be Light
and
The Sunrise shall visit us from upon high.
Acts 1:6-14
6 So when they had come together, they asked Him, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”
7 He said to them,
“It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by His Own Authority. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
And when He had said these things,
as they were looking on,
He was lifted up,
and a cloud took Him
out of their sight.
10 And while they were gazing into Heaven as He went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes, 11 and said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into Heaven? This Jesus, Who was taken up from you into Heaven, will come in the same way as you saw Him go into Heaven.”
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.
And when they had entered, they went up to the upper room, where they were staying, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot and Judas the son of James.
All these with one accord were devoting themselves to prayer,
together with the women and
Mary the Mother of Jesus,
and His Brothers
People and newspapers have been speculating
On the room known as The Upper Room since the 1970s and before. It's an ancient building and known to the Israeli Professors of Archaeology. Is this the one? One day, we will know.
2 Timothy 2:1-3
You therefore, my child, be strong in the grace that
is in Christ Jesus.
And the things that you have heard me say among many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men
One day, we will know. How will we do until we know?
Micah 6:8
He has told you, O man, what is good;
and
what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice,
and
to love kindness,
and
to walk humbly with your God?
Litmus tests. The 1970s it was the foolishness of believing in a Virgin Birth.
As told to Hezekiah's King Father Ahaz. With the exact representation of the trade profit in Israel, the haircuts of the Roman Empire, and the woes and glories of the agriculture of the time. Isaiah 7
Proverbs 21:3
To do justice and judgment
is
more acceptable to the LORD
than sacrifice.
In the 1990s, one of the largest denominations in the USA fell from
17 million parishioners to 500,000 when that denomination was saying:
The Bible would be reinvented by the current culture
and we should rip out all of St. Paul,
because, obviously, St. Paul was without the Holy Spirit.
Then made the leaping change,
not allowing any divorce among Bishops
to running with a newly made Bishop, divorced,
but with a nod to agenda.
Genesis 18:19
For I know him, that he will command his children and his household
after him,
and they shall keep the way of the LORD,
to do justice and judgment;
that the LORD
may bring upon Abraham
that which He hath spoken of him.
This is the largest time period of the expansion of believing Churches.
The Pew Report shows many generational Church attendance shifted.
There are times, in all lives, we must determine our faith, words and actions.
Deuteronomy 10:12,13
And now, Israel,
what doth the LORD thy God
require of thee,
but to fear the LORD thy God,
to walk in all His Ways,
and
to Love Him,
and
to serve the LORD thy God
with all thy heart
and
with all thy soul
How will we do this when we have such pressing concerns,
How will we do this when we are the flowers of the field?
Jesus knew about our lives and He gave a reason and direction:
John 6:29
Jesus answered them,
“This is the work of God given to mankind,
that you believe
in Him
Whom He has sent.”
The Disciples, Adam, Gideon, Jeremiah, Peter, Mary, Zechariah
all had questions and concerns.
Hebrews 11:6
And without faith it is impossible to please Him,
for whoever would draw near to God
must believe
that He exists
and
that He rewards
those who seek Him.
1 Corinthians 2:5
So that your faith
might not rest
in
the wisdom of men
but
in the power of God.
Hebrews 11:1
Now
faith
is the assurance
of things hoped for,
the conviction of things
not seen.
What would be a sign of faith?
Luke 6:36
Be merciful,
even as your Father is merciful.
James 2:13
For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy.
Mercy triumphs over judgment.
Matthew 5:7
Blessed are the merciful,
for they shall receive
mercy.
Matthew 9:13
Go and learn
what this means:
“I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.
For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”
1 Peter 1:3
Blessed be the God
and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!
According to His
Great Mercy,
He has caused us
to be born again
to a living hope
through the resurrection of Jesus Christ
from the dead.
Believe.
80% of the USA does pray. And this causes scoffing.
This isn't exactly merciful. And of the 80% praying, 2/3rds say they have received a miraculous, answer only from The Lord and their prayer. And the believing people say they know God hears them and loves them.
Hebrews 4:16
Let us then with confidence draw near to the Throne of Grace,
that
we may receive
mercy
and
find grace to help in time of need.
Believe
God does the Impossible
Why?
Zephaniah 3:17
The Lord your God is in your midst,
A Mighty One
Who will Save
He will
Rejoice over you with gladness
He will
quiet you by His Love
He will
exult over you with loud singing.
If we are not open to the impossibility of God, we should miss the display of the Lord's Goodness, arriving quietly, like the sunrise. We benefit in our faith from being open to the Holy Spirit. The Lord God Almighty upholds the Universe with the Power of His Word.
Luke 1:76-79
Go before the Lord to prepare His Ways,
to give knowledge of salvation
to His People
in the forgiveness of their sins,
because
of the tender mercy of our God
Whereby the sunrise
shall visit us
from on high
To give light
to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet
into
the way of peace.
This Jesus,
Who was taken up from you into Heaven,
will come in the same way
as you saw Him
go into Heaven
Holy Father,
keep them
in Your Name,
which You have given Me,
that
they may be One,
even as We are One.
