Isaiah 2:1-5 ~ raised above the hills

 

Almost all people who dream of Heaven and see the Gates of Heaven, fixed into the walls of Heaven = looking into the inside - (Revelation reveals Living Stones of many colors) report the walls of Heaven walking up to Heaven are this color.

The same color as the Temple in Jerusalem. Even the people who did not know this, report this color. The walls of Heaven sit up on a hill. Looking up to walk to the Gates of Heaven.

 

History repeatedly reports a few years after Pandemic,

life begins to improve.

Isaiah could be speaking of this hope as well.

Isaiah 2:1-5

1 This is what Isaiah, son of Amos saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem:

2 In the last days

the mountain of the LORD's temple will be established

as chief among the mountains;

it will be raised above the hills,

and all nations will stream to it.

3 Many peoples will come and say,

"Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD,

to the house of the God of Jacob.

He will teach us his ways,

so that we may walk in his paths."

The law will go out from Zion,

the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

4 He will judge between the nations

and will settle disputes for many peoples.

They will beat their swords into plowshares

and their spears into pruning hooks.

Nation will not take up sword against nation,

nor will they train for war anymore.

5 Come, O house of Jacob,

let us walk in the light of the LORD.

When the Bible tells us about Heaven, we just see glimpses. Most people are interested in Heaven. Dwight L. Moody tells of a man who lost a loved one & began to pour over the Scriptures. 

It is a good thing to be able to comfort each other by being able to know what the Scriptures say about Heaven. This passage tells us 'nations' will be taught by the Lord.

Heaven may not have oceans, but water.

God loves Light on the Water. Living. Shining.

1 Corinthians 13:12

12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. 

Now I know in part, 

but then I shall know 

just as I also am known.

1 Corinthians 2: 7-9

But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, 

8 which none of the rulers of this age knew; 

for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 

9 But as it is written:

“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,

Nor have entered into the heart of man

The things which God has prepared for those 

who love Him.”

Isaiah agrees with the book of Revelation:

Revelation 21:1-4

1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 

2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 

3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, 

"Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them.

 They will be His people,

 and God Himself will be with them and be their God. 

4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. 

There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, 

for the old order of things has passed away."

Revelation tells us how many people will be in Heaven and how salvation is given:

Revelations 7: 9-10

After this I looked and there before me 

was a great multitude 

that no one could count,

 from every nation, tribe, people and language, 

standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. 

They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. 10 And they cried out in a loud voice:

"Salvation belongs to our God,

who sits on the throne,

and to the Lamb."

Heaven is walking in the light of God. 

Our Christmas lights are glimpses of the Light. The first chapter of John tells us about Jesus:

John 1:3-9

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 men. 

5 The Light shines in the darkness, 

but the darkness has not overcome it.

The Nativity (also known as the Holy Night or as Adoration of the Shepherds) is a painting finished around 1529-1530 by the Italian painter Antonio da Correggio

6 There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John. 7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe. 8 He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. 

9 The true light that gives Light 

to every man 

was coming into the world.

Psalm 97

¹ The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice;

let the many coastlands be glad!

² Clouds and thick darkness are all around him;

righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.

³ Fire goes before him

and burns up his adversaries all around.

⁴ His lightnings light up the world;

the earth sees and trembles.

⁵ The mountains melt like wax before the LORD,

before the Lord of all the earth.

⁶ The heavens proclaim His righteousness,

and all the peoples see His glory.

⁷ All worshipers of images are put to shame,

who make their boast in worthless idols;

worship him, all you gods!

⁸ Zion hears and is glad,

and the daughters of Judah rejoice,

because of your judgments, O LORD.

⁹ For you, O LORD, are most high over all the earth;

You are exalted far above all gods.

¹⁰ O you who love the LORD, hate evil!

He preserves the lives of his saints;

He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

¹¹ Light is sown for the righteous,

and joy for the upright in heart.

¹² Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous,

and give thanks to His holy name! 

 

Nehemiah 8:10 

for the joy of the Lord 

is your strength.

Romans 10:13 ~ "Everyone who calls on the Name of the Lord will be saved."

Wouldn't we all like to say

"Here, Lord Jesus, Here!"

God intended people to do exactly like Jesus and be among people. Being in the world and not of the world requires our hearts to stay right with God. Being fake eventually wears out the good fruit. This is probably why the people in Scripture have real issues and mess. If one becomes a plaster saint, one is frozen in a display which can cool the heart. God created all different types of people and flaws, we have to be glad in our individualism. Staying close to God is doing what He chooses for us.

Why did Jesus call John the Baptist - least in Heaven. One of the reasons would be John's job was to be in Faith - it was John's Job. Don't pick at the threads of what upholds you. And create flap and doubt when the ones you love are depending upon you.

Why not avoid the struggles to go to Church? 

The basic need inside us is to connect to what God creates in our lives and what He gives us to do. God says:

Proverbs 14:10
Each heart knows its own bitterness,
and no one else can share its joy.

God connects to us more than any human being. If we aren't nourishing our souls - we are starving.

God does tell us about starving and disinherited - in the New Testament - Galatians 5
sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

The Fruits of the Spirit, are just vastly more appealing.

Portions Reprinted from February 10, 2014

Jesus knew people. 

Life tests us. Psalm 7, 11, 26, Revelation 2, James 1, Hebrews 12, 1 Corinthians 2, 1 Peter 1, Jeremiah 3, Exodus 3. Basically, all the heavy hitters of the Bible have weighed in on the opinion our hearts are examined. David, John, James, Paul, Peter, Jeremiah and Moses.

God lives with us.

John 1:4

This is how we know that we live in Him and He in us: 

He has given us of His Spirit. 

 And we have seen and testify that

 the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 

15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, 

God lives in them and they in God. 

 And so we know 

and rely

 on the love God has for us.

The Holy Spirit is Real. The Body of Christ works together. The coals together create Warmth of Love, Fire of the Holy Spirit, and Light. 

Salvation is from God. Jesus would agree. Even in the Old Testament.

Romans 10:17

So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

Abba, Father

Dwell in us every Day. Give us the Day.

Help us to seek You First.

Worship and Hope

God Overcoming the past failures of mankind.

Mankind doesn't always appreciate being shown Forgiveness.

God is the Great and Gracious Father.

Your Son, Jesus, prays for us in John 17.

Bless those we Love and are given to live Your Love every day.

The Holy Spirit prays for us in Colossians 1

From the Day our Father spoke Light into being, 

prayers have been earnestly prayed and heard.

We have not ceased to pray , asking we may be filled with the knowledge of Father God's will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding.

To walk awed by Jesus, while walking in a manner worthy of the Lord,

 fully pleasing to You.

Calling upon Jesus and bearing fruit in every good work 

and increasing in the knowledge of God.

Finishing well to the very end.

And in the Highest Name of Jesus, being strengthened with all power, according to Your glorious might for joy!

And because of Jesus, giving thanks to our Father. Jesus has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.

Bless Elliott with healing, Jesus is never taken from Elliott, he knows.

Bless Bill with his voice. We ask Please, Jesus.

Light of the world fill us, Lord Jesus!

And the birds of our ten states to be healed of their illnesses

as Harris County, Houston, Texas saw birds healing after

March-May of 2021. Thank God!!!

Thank You, my ankle is so much better

Bless us with Love, as You have.

Protect us with Your Love.

Thank You, Father, Bless Dee's family, bless Dennis with health healing from a burst gallbladder. And Lynn who has had part of her lung removed to cancer, but only a small spot. Healing from Jesus, we ask.

Thank You, Jesus, for all You have helped!

Romans 10:13

For, "Everyone who calls on 

the Name of the Lord 

will be saved."

Let us find, establish, create, promote, enjoy, 

Love and Bless our Father for more Heaven on earth and His Good Will.

In Jesus Christ and His Righteousness,

For God's Steadfast Love in Year's past, present and the Thanksgiving of everyday Easter Egg Blessing Hunts still to be. Jesus is King. 

Amen.

Psalm 107

Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good,

for His steadfast love endures forever!

whom He has redeemed from trouble

Psalm 46:10 ~ Jesus will be exalted among the nations and the earth

 

We spent Thursday evening at home with a massive rainstorm. And on Friday, we got up at 6 a.m. and went to Dallas. Texas is unusually green for July.  We pray for the West Coast to have rain to stop their fires as well.

My mother had the opportunity in her Hospice Nursing Facility to change rooms across the hall and see mature trees and a park from her 4th floor. She now has a set of sliding glass doors and a second window as well. My mom has been thrilled to have the view and has started speaking, some, again to have this happen for her. Four people moved her all day to put in a new, and had to be built, recliner. She was so pleased. Many years back, we used to have a deep, white plastic shelf for growing plants, we added this in with faux plants. Her Aunt Clarice used to greet her with blue Hydrangeas, and this is repeated, again. 

Edward's mother is now in Assisted Living as well. As we finished up, he had the first time experience of going to see his own mother, now out of her home. This was a tough day.

After going in the car there and home again, we were just too tired not to just sit. We did when we returned home!

Psalm 46:10

Be still, and know that I am God; 

I will be exalted among the nations, 

I will be exalted in the earth.

Abba, Father,

We rejoice You are God.

We lean on You today, when we are busy and

in emotional climates.

You do all for us.

Thank You.

Dwell in us.

Dwell in those we love.

Help us to seek You first.

Talk Political Hours on the radio are very alarming

so we all pray for the Nation

to recover Love, Peace and Sensibility 

and Rational post pandemic minds.

Believing full well in the Healing Power of Jesus Christ.

Going Forth in Hope.

We are lifting up Elliott, Dennis and Lynn to

Your Wonderful Love and Healing.

Praying for us all

to end well.

In JESUS CHRIST,

we Are SAVED.

AMEN!

Acts 1 ~ and the lot fell on Matthias

 

Acts 1

1 In the first book, O Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach 

2 Until the day when He was taken up, after He had given commands through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen. 3 He presented himself alive to them after his suffering by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.

4 And while staying with them he ordered them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said, “you heard from me; 5 for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”

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.” 9 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. 13 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. 14 All these with one accord were devoting themselves to prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.

15 In those days Peter stood up among the brothers (the company of persons was in all about 120) and said, 16 “Brothers, the Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke beforehand by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus. 17 For he was numbered among us and was allotted his share in this ministry.” 18 (Now this man acquired a field with the reward of his wickedness, and falling headlong he burst open in the middle and all his bowels gushed out. 19 And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the field was called in their own language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.) 20 “For it is written in the Book of Psalms,

“‘May his camp become desolate,

    and let there be no one to dwell in it’;

and “‘Let another take his office.’

21 So one of the men who have accompanied us during all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, 22 beginning from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up from us—one of these men must become with us a witness to his resurrection.” 23 And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also called Justus, and Matthias. 24 And they prayed and said, 

“You, Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which one of these two you have chosen 25 to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place.” 

26 And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

In a Time of Change

God was not surprised when Matthias was the new Disciple. The new Disciples felt God would make the decision better than they could. Matthias followed Jesus and God made a path for him.

Ephesians 2:8

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God 

Hebrews 11:6

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

Hebrews 4:14

Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess.

1 Corinthians 15:1

Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 

Romans 1:17

For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed – a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith." 

Romans 1:12

That is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith. 

1 John 4:16

And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.

Better in person, Psalm 24 - Completely Beautiful

Abba, Father,

Dwell in us.

Help us to be a Joy to You.

As we place You first and seek the Kingdom of Heaven.

Fill those we Love with Your Love and Hope.

We ask for Your help.

We ask to finish well.

We ask Your Willing and Abundant Blessings.

God of Love, Father of Jesus Christ, cover us in Your Name - Jesus. 

And in this outpouring of Love, cover our Nation Trusting in You.

Pour out a Blessing of Heaven upon earth 

reaching the Nations in the Brightness of Jesus as Light of mankind.

We pray for the areas in our Nation without a vaccine

and the increase variant Virus to cease

and the Nations to have the Vaccination.

We pray Your Word of Healing.

Upon us all in Recovery.

Your Healing Word on the weather, please, Jesus.

We ask for the bird population not to be ill. Please, Jesus.

Let Heaven in Jesus fill the Children of God speaking and praying in Love with You.

We pray for Elliott to heal from cancer. And thank You for good news.

We Thank You for answered Prayer and Your Love.

Jesus is God. Alleluia, 

Selah and Amen!!!
