Daniel 7:9-14 ~ As I looked

 


1 Thessalonians 4:17
After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.







On earth as it is in Heaven. 



1 Kings 8:10,11

Suddenly a cloud filled the temple as the priests were leaving the most holy place.

The Lord’s glory was in the cloud, and the light from it was so bright that the priests could not stay inside to do their work.



Isaiah 6:1-4

6 In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one called to another and said:

“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory!”

4 And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke. 

Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord.


Never wonder about animals in Heaven again. 
Remember Elijah and the horses from Heaven. Jeremiah knew as well.

Jeremiah 4
13 Behold, he comes up like clouds; his chariots like the whirlwind; 
his horses are swifter than eagles—



Ezekiel 1:1-28

1 In the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I was among the exiles by the Chebar canal, the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God. 2 On the fifth day of the month (it was the fifth year of the exile of King Jehoiachin), 3 the word of the Lord came to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the Chebar canal, and the hand of the Lord was upon him there.


4 As I looked, behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, and a great cloud, with brightness around it, and fire flashing forth continually, and in the midst of the fire, as it were gleaming metal. 5 And from the midst of it came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had a human likeness, 6 but each had four faces, and each of them had four wings. 7 Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the sole of a calf's foot. And they sparkled like burnished bronze. 8 Under their wings on their four sides they had human hands. And the four had their faces and their wings thus: 9 their wings touched one another. Each one of them went straight forward, without turning as they went. 10 As for the likeness of their faces, each had a human face. The four had the face of a lion on the right side, the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and the four had the face of an eagle. 11 Such were their faces. And their wings were spread out above. Each creature had two wings, each of which touched the wing of another, while two covered their bodies. 12 And each went straight forward. Wherever the spirit would go, they went, without turning as they went. 13 As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches moving to and fro among the living creatures. And the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning. 14 And the living creatures darted to and fro, like the appearance of a flash of lightning.


1 Corinthians 15:52 
 In an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. 
For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.


15 Now as I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the earth beside the living creatures, one for each of the four of them. 16 As for the appearance of the wheels and their construction: their appearance was like the gleaming of beryl. And the four had the same likeness, their appearance and construction being as it were a wheel within a wheel. 17 When they went, they went in any of their four directions without turning as they went. 18 And their rims were tall and awesome, and the rims of all four were full of eyes all around. 19 And when the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures rose from the earth, the wheels rose. 20 Wherever the spirit wanted to go, they went, and the wheels rose along with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. 21 When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those rose from the earth, the wheels rose along with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.




22 Over the heads of the living creatures there was the likeness of an expanse, shining like awe-inspiring crystal, spread out above their heads. 23 And under the expanse their wings were stretched out straight, one toward another. And each creature had two wings covering its body. 24 And when they went, I heard the sound of their wings like the sound of many waters, like the sound of the Almighty, a sound of tumult like the sound of an army. When they stood still, they let down their wings. 25 And there came a voice from above the expanse over their heads. When they stood still, they let down their wings.

26 And above the expanse over their heads there was the likeness of a throne, in appearance like sapphire; 
and seated above the likeness of a throne was a likeness with a human appearance. 27 And upward from what had the appearance of his waist I saw as it were gleaming metal, like the appearance of fire enclosed all around. And downward from what had the appearance of his waist I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness around him.

 28 Like the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud on the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness all around.


Acts 1:9
After He had said this, 
they watched as He was taken up, and a cloud hid Him from their sight.



Daniel 7:9-14


9 “As I looked,
thrones were placed,
    and the Ancient of Days took his seat;
his clothing was white as snow,
    and the hair of his head like pure wool;
his throne was fiery flames;
    its wheels were burning fire.
10 A stream of fire issued
    and came out from before him;
a thousand thousands served him,
    and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him;
the court sat in judgment,
    and the books were opened.

11 “I looked then because of the sound of the great words that the horn was speaking. And as I looked, the beast was killed, and its body destroyed and given over to be burned with fire. 12 As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away, but their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.

13 “I saw in the night visions,

and behold, with the clouds of heaven
    there came one like a son of man,
and he came to the Ancient of Days
    and was presented before him.
14 And to him was given dominion
    and glory and a kingdom,
that all peoples, nations, and languages
    should serve him;
his dominion is an everlasting dominion,
    which shall not pass away,
and his kingdom one
    that shall not be destroyed.





Revelation 1:7 
Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him--even those who pierced Him. 
And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. So shall it be! Amen.



Matthew 17:1-8

 And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James, and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. 

2 And He was transfigured before them, and His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light. 

3 And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him. 

4 And Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good that we are here. If you wish, I will make three tents here, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah.” 5 He was still speaking when, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, 
                 “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to Him.” 

6 When the disciples heard this, they fell on their faces and were terrified. 

7 But Jesus came and touched them, saying, “Rise, and have no fear.”

 8 And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only.



Abba, Father God,

You have given us Jesus to dwell within us
simply by asking You.

You walked with us on a day of reflection
even in sadness
the everyday life a road to Emmaus.

You know all of us.
Just as we are.
Father God of Love.
Father God of Encouragement.

Your reply is You save the world in Jesus.
You gather me to You in Your Wings.
You are our Strong Tower.
You calm the wind and the waves
and the Storm is Still.

You know our cares we bring to You
because You have compassion on us
and care for us.

Bless us with Your Love.
Bless those we Love with Your Love.
Help us, Father, fill our lives with Agape Love.
Bless the people You have given us with Jesus.

Bless our Nation with all the prayers asked every day 
in the Highest Name of Jesus.

Please bless Elliott with healing
and all the people we pray for so often
or remember and then pray again.

Jesus is with us walking our Emmaus.
Thank You, Father God,
Speak Your Word and we are Healed.
Alleluia Jesus Christ. Amen.













The Joy of the Lord is our Strength!
Abba, Father and Jesus are Love

Luke 12:49-59 ~ 2 Kings 2

 


U.K. in 2011 A.D.

Luke 12:49-59 ~ Division


49 "I came to cast fire on the earth, and would that it were already kindled! 50 I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how great is my distress until it is accomplished! 51 Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. 52For from now on in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three. 53They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law."

54He also said to the crowds, "When you see a cloud rising in the west, you say at once, 'A shower is coming.' And so it happens. 55And when you see the south wind blowing, you say, 'There will be scorching heat,' and it happens. 56You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of earth and sky, but why do you not know how to interpret the present time?"

57"And why do you not judge for yourselves what is right? 

58 As you go with your accuser before the magistrate, make an effort to settle with him on the way, lest he drag you to the judge, and the judge hand you over to the officer, and the officer put you in prison. 59I tell you, you will never get out until you have paid the very last penny."

Bible notes author: Susan Johnson, The Methodist Church in Britain

These verses are part of the teachings of Jesus to the disciples and to the crowds who have followed him. In Luke 10:1-12, 70 were sent out into the towns and villages to let people know that the kingdom of God had come near in the person of Jesus who would show them the way to live. Some of the 70 experienced peace and were welcomed, while others were rejected and had to leave. This leads Jesus to reflect on how his mission, his life and death will bring judgement and division as people are faced with a choice and a challenge about Jesus.

Today, 2,000 years later the question is still before us when we come face to face with Jesus and the influence of his teachings. Am I willing to try and follow his ways or will I follow someone or something else? And then there's the second question; what sort of kingdom, or community, will my actions bring out?

When we look around at communities in England, as we have done so much this summer, we can clearly see the division between those who seek peace and justice by showing love and compassion and those who are intent on destruction and damage. Although it did not receive much media coverage after the recent riots in London and other cities, communities came together, united, to move beyond the destruction and rebuild. Perhaps those people had had a glimpse of the kingdom of God being present in a small way. Many would not call themselves Christian or people of any faith but some would.

The simple fact is that when knowledge of Jesus is there, decisions have to be made every minute of the day as to how we will live. We always have a choice: to do good or to do harm.

To Ponder

When you need to make a decision about the way to behave, what guides you?

'It puzzles me that I am surrounded by people, who in their very humanity, show signs of living the Jesus way but do not know anything about him.' How do you think that can be?

Is division always something to be avoided? Why?


We will look at Unity 

2 Kings 2


Living Bible


2 1-2 Now the time came for the Lord to take Elijah to heaven—by means of a whirlwind! Elijah said to Elisha as they left Gilgal, “Stay here, for the Lord has told me to go to Bethel.”

But Elisha replied, “I swear to God that I won’t leave you!”

So they went on together to Bethel. 3 There the young prophets of Bethel Seminary came out to meet them and asked Elisha, “Did you know that the Lord is going to take Elijah away from you today?”

“Quiet!” Elisha snapped. “Of course I know it.”

4 Then Elijah said to Elisha, “Please stay here in Bethel, for the Lord has sent me to Jericho.”

But Elisha replied again, “I swear to God that I won’t leave you.” So they went on together to Jericho.

5 Then the students at Jericho Seminary came to Elisha and asked him, “Do you know that the Lord is going to take away your master today?”

“Will you please be quiet?” he commanded. “Of course I know it!”

6-7 Then Elijah said to Elisha, “Please stay here, for the Lord has sent me to the Jordan River.”

But Elisha replied as before, “I swear to God that I won’t leave you.”

So they went on together and stood beside the Jordan River as fifty of the young prophets watched from a distance. 8 Then Elijah folded his cloak together and struck the water with it; and the river divided and they went across on dry ground!

9 When they arrived on the other side Elijah said to Elisha, “What wish shall I grant you before I am taken away?”

And Elisha replied, “Please grant me twice as much prophetic power as you have had.”

10 “You have asked a hard thing,” Elijah replied. “If you see me when I am taken from you, then you will get your request. But if not, then you won’t.”

11 As they were walking along, talking, suddenly a chariot of fire, drawn by horses of fire, appeared and drove between them, separating them, and Elijah was carried by a whirlwind into heaven.

12 Elisha saw it and cried out, “My father! My father! The chariot of Israel and the charioteers!”

As they disappeared from sight he tore his robe. 13-14 Then he picked up Elijah’s cloak and returned to the bank of the Jordan River, and struck the water with it.

“Where is the Lord God of Elijah?” he cried out. And the water parted and Elisha went across!

15 When the young prophets of Jericho saw what had happened, they exclaimed, “The spirit of Elijah rests upon Elisha!” And they went to meet him and greeted him respectfully.

16 “Sir,” they said, “just say the word and fifty of our best athletes will search the wilderness for your master; perhaps the Spirit of the Lord has left him on some mountain or in some ravine.”

“No,” Elisha said, “don’t bother.”

17 But they kept urging until he was embarrassed and finally said, “All right, go ahead.” Then fifty men searched for three days, but didn’t find him.

18 Elisha was still at Jericho when they returned. “Didn’t I tell you not to go?” he growled.

19 Now a delegation of the city officials of Jericho visited Elisha. “We have a problem,” they told him. “This city is located in beautiful natural surroundings, as you can see; but the water is bad and causes our women to have miscarriages.”

20 “Well,” he said, “bring me a new bowl filled with salt.” So they brought it to him.

21 Then he went out to the city well and threw the salt in and declared, “The Lord has healed these waters. They shall no longer cause death or miscarriage.”

22 And sure enough! The water was purified, just as Elisha had said.

23 From Jericho he went to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, a gang of young men from the city began mocking and making fun of him because of his bald head. 24 He turned around and cursed them in the name of the Lord; and two female bears came out of the woods and tore forty-two of them. 25 Then he went to Mount Carmel and finally returned to Samaria.  


Let's list the concepts of Unity.

Differing Talents and Respect. Age differences and respect. Elijah has the greater gifts of God, but Elisha  is hopeful.  And honest in his expectations. Trust and admiration. A relationship flourishes in honest boundaries. They expect Peace from one another.

And Mercy. Elisha is asking mercy from his peers.

Elijah wants to spare Elisha. This is a common occurrence in Hospice.  Usually, someone passes on privately. The intense desire to spare loved ones' grief. Often seen today.

Diligence to know one is not abandoned. Loyalty.

Pompeii's Actual art of Alexander the Great recognized and probably a good likeness. One good Chariot likeness.


Today, the news wondered about the speed of Light. And our fastest travel is by fire. God is eager to spend time with Elijah. To give hope of Heaven.

When we wonder about Heaven and we consider all the age groups in Heaven, don't we imagine a beautiful Chariot would be longed for among many in Heaven? How would it keep up with all the new devices longed for in Heaven? In fact, God has upgraded Elijah from the more common wagon conveyance of the 9th Century BC. God of the Abundant Willingness and Feast of Heaven.

Unity in changes. Unity in innovation. Unity in vision.


Etruscan Chariot 6th Century BC
Elijah 9th Century BC



Inclusion of Animals in Heaven. Observation Unity, Hope Unity.


Elisha doesn't have to be supreme, he allows the others to search out and discover.  Unity in I'm me, you go and be yourself. Salt is good with flavor. 

Unity in community good. Unity in Hope and Prayer. Unity in allowing God's help.

Unity in the understanding only One is Good. Jesus Christ. Hopes in God Himself. Unity in honesty of human nature. Unity in trust of honesty.





Abba, Father God,

God of Encouragement, God of Love.
Help us to seek You first.

Elisha allowed time for His Brothers
to discover what is right.
Just as Jesus did.

Elisha attends to his life and has works of God to be interested in.
He isn't much overly involved with one another.
Elisha expects in God, all things will work together for God
and seeks God's Purpose.

We pray for those we Love
to be filled with the Steadfast Love of Jesus Christ
to dwell in us and open our eyes to more Life.
To find our Blessings and hold on and not forget.
To be polite and insist on Mercy.

For our Republic to have Expectation of Goodness,
Hope and Love.
For God's Good Creation.

For our mutual up building. 
God of Encouragement and Love.

We pray for Elliott to be healed.
All families with illnesses to have peace in times of stress.
And for Janet to have healing.

Let all of Creation sing with me now.
Love, Peace and Mercy.

In the Name of Jesus Christ, 
Amen.



To know the Hills and Highways of Heaven.
His High Ways.

Psalm 66 ~ Sing the Glory of His Name










Psalm 66

Shout for joy to God, all the earth;
2 sing the glory of His Name;
give to Him glorious praise!

3 Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds!
So great is your power that your enemies come cringing to you.


4 All the earth worships you
and sings praises to you;
they sing praises to Your Name.” 

Selah

5 Come and see what God has done:
He is awesome in His deeds toward the children of man.

6 He turned the sea into dry land;
they passed through the river on foot.
There did we rejoice in Him,
7 who rules by His might forever,
whose eyes keep watch on the nations—
Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. 

Selah

8 Bless our God, O peoples;
let the sound of His praise be heard,


who has kept our soul among the living


And has not let our feet slip.
10 For you, O God, have tested us;
You have tried us as silver is tried.

11 You brought us into the net;
you laid a crushing burden on our backs;
You let men ride over our heads;
we went through fire and through water;
Yet You have brought us out to a place of abundance.

13 I will come into Your house with burnt offerings;
I will perform my vows to You,
14 that which my lips uttered
and my mouth promised when I was in trouble.
15 I will offer to You burnt offerings of fattened animals,
with the smoke of the sacrifice of rams;
I will make an offering of bulls and goats. Selah

16 Come and hear, all you who fear God,
and 
I will tell what He has done for my soul.
17 I cried to Him with my mouth,
and high praise was on my tongue.

18 If I had cherished iniquity in my heart,
the Lord would not have listened.
19 But truly God has listened;
He has attended to the voice of my prayer.

20 Blessed be God,
because He has not rejected my prayer
or removed His steadfast Love from me!


Psalm 100
Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!
2 Serve the Lord with gladness!
Come into His presence with singing!



Psalm 29 

1 Ascribe to the Lord, O heavenly beings, 
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
2 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness.

3 The voice of the Lord is over the waters;
the God of glory thunders,
the Lord, over many waters.
4 The voice of the Lord is powerful;
the voice of the Lord is full of Majesty.



John 16:24
Until now you have asked nothing in my name. 
Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.


Father God asks us to be His Temple. To give Him proper thanks and worship. And we find we are fed. God is our Father. Going to be the Father's House feeds our soul.

The Scriptures tell us we will feel the warmth of the Jesus' Love. This is called setting our hearts ablaze. No wonder God uses fire to announce the presence of His Holy Spirit.

This is singing - in a form. Hearts are ablaze in Heaven. Hearts sing aloud.








John 3:16:
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

1 John 4:8
Whoever does not love does not know God because God is Love.

Philippians 2
God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father!

Matthew 8:17
This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: "He took up our infirmities and bore our diseases."

John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 
2 He was with God in the beginning. 
3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 
4 In Him was Life, and that Life was the Light of all mankind. 
5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.




Mark 10:32
They were now on the way up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them. The disciples were filled with awe

Isaiah 40:31:
Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. 
They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, 
they will walk and not be faint.


Have you attended a Funeral that you'd do anything not to attend. 
You'd hide in your closet all day. Sit in your bathroom. I know someone who drove to the Hospital, parked the car, went in from looking around, and said they couldn't because they went to the Hospital. 

Our daughter Isabelle died at 31 weeks gestation and was born smiling as if Heaven had opened for her and Jesus called her, "Beautiful Isabelle. Come to me and Live." The Joy on her face. All the friends gathered wept to see Isabelle. Not asleep in the Lord. Awake in Heaven.

The Funeral was so stunningly unhappy, the best part was being held tightly by my son. And to find both sons. Isabelle passed on to Heaven September 23. And in March of Spring Break the following year, we spent it all sitting quietly in her bedroom. One son cried, "Didn't God know we would have taken good care of her???"

We would have, no question. God did something far and away more Important and Better. I know this as a fact because I don't remember seeing more happiness on a sleeping baby, sweet smelling, soft skinned face. Joy simply radiated from Isabelle Claire Gardere.

I really don't have doubts about Heaven. I saw Aunt Clarice pass into Heaven, she left me a message, I thought she was wrong and repeated this for 18 years until Clarice, telling me Jesus was standing behind me, exactly happened. Sometimes to display the flaws in the memory, actually explains more. Jesus is amazingly part of every cell and nano, fitting molecules together.




Today, we agreed,  and I signed papers for my mother to go to Hospice.
We chose Faith Hospice and the Faith aspect made all the difference. The kindness and the questions of depth, warmth and sincerity. I will never forget.

Now according to Hospice and her GP
We will make my mother comfortable and prepare her for her Journey. My father had a dream at least 80 times about coming to meet my mother after decades of being apart and to journey to see Heaven. My parents honeymooned journeying all over the South, to Florida and up to Williamsburg. Their honeymoon decided the method and design for their first house. And many evenings they discussed all the conversations with great detail. The Journey was good.

The 80 times or more my father discussed his dream of Journeying with my mother to bring her to Heaven, proved to be true. My father died fairly young. Just as Jesus told Daddy. My mother spent decades in her last house, they owned together. And as the dream foretold, John and I would live very far apart.  Mother would love Dallas and still be there until her death, even though our family of 11 would all have moved or passed on. And also true - Mother ended up dating a neighbor for many years who had visited us in France. He was a widower, they met again by God's accidental meeting.

 Daddy said Mother would be old and we would be relieved for her to pass on due to illness. We always insisted this was incorrect and my father had Ultimate Peace and insisted He was right.  

My father described seeing their part of John 14. Father God's House with many, many rooms. Daddy said it was completely astonishing.  According to Daddy's dream, we all have a part of Father God's House and He will even put an intact Family House now a Jewish Youth Center, as it was loved for decades after their honeymoon. Daddy did not understand he was visiting a Heavenly Home. The house was exact in Heaven, as in earth.  Daddy said he was so very, exceedingly glad to find our house. 

Daddy said in guiding my mother to Heaven, he would see their home for the first time since being in Heaven.  Daddy said he and mother were to live together in Heaven. Daddy was always pleased God had given him this task. 

And this speaks volumes to forgiveness in divorce.


Galatians 5:22-23: 
The fruit of the Spirit is:
Love! Joy! Peace! Patience! Kindness! Goodness! Faithfulness! Gentleness and self-control! Against such things there is No law!

James 3:17
But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere!


Jeremiah 29:11:
For I know the plans I have for you!” Declares the LORD, “Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."








Romans 5:8:
But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.


Philippians 4:8:
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

Romans 8:28:
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

Philippians 4:6:
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

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







John 16:22
I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.

John 14:18
“I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you."


 




Romans 12:9
Don't just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good.

1 Timothy 1:5
The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.

Romans 13:8
Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.

Romans 10:4
For Christ has already accomplished the purpose for which the law was given. 
As a result, all who believe in him are made right with God.



Revelation 21

And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, 4and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away."

 5And He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." And He said, "Write, for these words are faithful and true."









Abba, Father God, 

To live in Your Grace and Mercy
Knowing to put down the worries that were pointless and fruitless in the past.

In Jesus Christ, to have Your Grace and go forth. Forgiven of old worries.

To press on to Seek You First.
To daily include and invite, You, to dwell in me.
And in those I love, the people God has given me.
And be grateful.

To forgive those who have given Judgement, as I have judged. 
To be wiser, to rejoice.
Rejoice in faith, hope and Love and not be tossed by my doubts
and not tossed by doubts of others.
Hold tightly to Jesus Christ daily.

To be Blessed to ask more Heaven on earth.
To find more Heaven on earth.
Be more Heaven on earth.

To pray for good health for me,
I need prayers for rapid heartbeat for the first time since 2005.
This is uncomfortable and signals more exercise and less caffeine.
As we pray for all of us in Covid, with our concerns 
and the worries of others. So many people have allergies, colds,
coughs and sneezing without Covid. 
Believing, this is sympathy of the world for 
one another.

The Lord Jesus remember Elliott's miracle.
The hopes we put in knowing of Miracles of Yours
and Prayer moving Your hand.

We pray for those who are ill
and asked for prayer. Covering them
in the Willingness of Jesus. And His Love and Mercy for my mother.

Keep us in Jesus,
This Republic, the people of the Republic.
 The world needing kindness and a hope
of peace from this hugely stressful season.
We pray for the United States Congress to calm down.
And those having stress being involved there. We need you.
 It will turn out well, we have read the Last Page of the Bible and this ends well.
238 Accomplishments requires Mercy.
Our Governors and Legislatures for help and wisdom.
Giving Thanks to those keeping Mercy and Justice.
Let's agree in prayer, Pandemic
causes willy-nilly barbarism brain thoughts that end.
And we pray Jesus for go faster, please.
He understands. 
We arrive in prayer just as we really are.

Keeping the joyful thought of Eighty percent of
people pray. And not worrying too much about this poll
or that poll. God forgives the sin of our youth, and
knowing the Church has always welcomed
those of years in the pews for a long time.
God doesn't worry too much about the people who Pray.
His Love is flowing, now, for us
and the people who will come to a prayer and faith life.
His Mercy Renews Daily.

Thank God,
Thank God,
Thank Jesus.
Amen with prayer in Jesus
and Your Righteousness.
Please Availeth this one much.
Amen.

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.

The Scriptures are Father God's letter to you. He wanted you to know more, to know He loves you.

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. <><
