And on that day you will say, "Give thanks to the LORD, call on His name.

let this be known throughout the earth. "

The Lord hears huge prayers

Exodus 2

  23 During those many days the king of Egypt died, and the people of Israel groaned because of their slavery and cried out for help. Their cry for rescue from slavery came up to God. 24 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. 25 God saw the people of Israel—and God knew.

  2 Chronicles 32

  

The Lord hears many people praying

20 King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz cried out in prayer to heaven about this. 21 And the Lord sent an angel, who annihilated all the fighting men and the commanders and officers in the camp of the Assyrian king. So he withdrew to his own land in disgrace. And when he went into the temple of his god, some of his sons, his own flesh and blood, cut him down with the sword.

22 So the Lord saved Hezekiah and the people of Jerusalem 

from the hand of Sennacherib king of Assyria 

and from the hand of all others.

 He took care of them on every side. 

23 Many brought offerings to Jerusalem for the Lord and valuable gifts for Hezekiah king of Judah. From then on he was highly regarded by all the nation

The Lord hears one praying heart

Isaiah 38

38 In those days Hezekiah became sick and was at the point of death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, “Thus says the Lord: Set your house in order, for you shall die, you shall not recover.” 2 Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord, 3 and said, “Please, O Lord, remember how I have walked before you in faithfulness and with a whole heart, and have done what is good in your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.

4 Then the word of the Lord came to Isaiah: 5 “Go and say to Hezekiah, Thus says the Lord, the God of David your father: I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears. Behold, I will add fifteen years to your life. 6 I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, 

and will defend this city.

John 1

 4 In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men.

John 8: 12 

Again, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the Light of the world. 

Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, 

but will have the Light of Life.”

Isaiah 42:6

"I the LORD have called unto you in righteousness, 

and have taken hold of your hand, 

and submitted you as the people's covenant, 

as 

a Light unto the nations" 

  

  

  Isaiah 60:3

And nations shall come to Your Light

Revelation 21:23 

The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp.

23And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, 

because the glory of God illuminates the city, 

and the Lamb is its lamp. 

By its Light the nations will walk, 

and into it the kings of the earth 

will bring their glory  

John 6:47

Truly, truly, I tell you, he who believes has eternal life.

Have Compassion on us

in Your Rich Mercy

and Strengthen us

with the Joy of the Lord Jesus.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Remarkable as Damar Hamlin’s recovery has been, the Buffalo Bills safety still faces a lengthy rehabilitation some three weeks after going into cardiac arrest and needing to be resuscitated on the field during a game in Cincinnati, his marketing representative told The Associated Press on Thursday night.

“Damar still requires oxygen and is having his heart monitored regularly to ensure there are no setbacks or after effects,” Jordon Rooney said. “Though he is able to visit the team’s facility, Damar is not in position to travel often, and requires additional rest to help his body heal.”

Rooney provided the update to emphasize Hamlin still faces hurdles giving perspective to comments made by Bills coach Sean McDermott, who on Wednesday said Hamlin has begun making regular visits to the team’s facility. 

Apr 18, 2023 — 

Damar Hamlin 'fully cleared' to resume playing, general ..Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin has been attending the team's voluntary workout program some four months

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

1 Kings 21:17-29 ~ The Word of the Lord

1 Kings 21:17-29

Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying: Go down to meet King Ahab of Israel, who rules in Samaria; he is now in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone to take possession. 

You shall say to him, "Thus says the Lord: Have you killed, and also taken possession?" 

You shall say to him, "Thus says the Lord: In the place where dogs licked up the blood of Naboth, dogs will also lick up your blood."

Ahab said to Elijah, "Have you found me, O my enemy?" 

He answered, "I have found you. Because you have sold yourself to do what is evil in the sight of the Lord, I will bring disaster on you; I will consume you, and will cut off from Ahab every male, bond or free, in Israel; and I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha son of Ahijah, because you have provoked me to anger and have caused Israel to sin. Also concerning Jezebel the Lord said, 'The dogs shall eat Jezebel within the bounds of Jezreel.' Anyone belonging to Ahab who dies in the city the dogs shall eat; and anyone of his who dies in the open country the birds of the air shall eat."

(Indeed, there was no one like Ahab, who sold himself to do what was evil in the sight of the Lord, urged on by his wife Jezebel. He acted most abominably in going after idols, as the Amorites had done, whom the Lord drove out before the Israelites.)

When Ahab heard those words, he tore his clothes and put sackcloth over his bare flesh; he fasted, lay in the sackcloth, and went about dejectedly.

Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite: "Have you seen how Ahab has humbled himself before me? Because he has humbled himself before me, I will not bring the disaster in his days; but in his son's days I will bring the disaster on his house." 

Ahab?

Romans 11:34-36 

“For who has known the mind of the LORD?

 Or who has become His counselor?” 

“Or who has first given to Him And it shall be repaid to him?” 

For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, 

to whom be glory forever. 

Amen.

Who has known the mind of the Lord? !

We do! The Word of the Lord says we do.

 Matthew 22:29 

Jesus answered, “Know the Scriptures, the power of God."

Revelation 4:8 

And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, 

are full of eyes all around 

and within, 

and day and night they never cease to say, 

“Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, 

who was and is and is to come!”

Jeremiah 17:10 

“I the Lord search the heart and test the mind, 

to give every man according to his ways, 

according to the fruit of his deeds.”

The Book of Revelation is the sorting of the weeds and the wheat. And filled with sadness and great determination. Not without all His wisdom. To create a new Heaven 

 Luke 10:18 

 And He said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven."

To create paths of Life.

He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for His name's sake.

Psalm 23

4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

    I will fear no evil,

for you are with me;

    your rod and your staff,

    they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me

    in the presence of my enemies;

you anoint my head with oil;

    my cup overflows.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

    all the days of my life,

and

 I shall dwell in the house of the Lord

    forever.

Hebrews 9 27

 

And just as it is appointed for man to die once, 

and after that comes judgment, 

28 so Christ, having been offered once 

to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, 

not to deal with sin

 but to save 

those 

who are 

eagerly waiting for Him.

Luke 10:19,20

 Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, 

and over all the power of the enemy, 

and nothing shall hurt you.

 Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, 

that the spirits are subject to you, 

but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.

1 Corinthians 13:12 

For now we see through a glass, darkly; 

but then face to face: 

now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

The Good News of Jesus Christ

Salvation 

would sit among us and discuss

Matthew 5

Seeing the crowds, 

He went up on the mountain, and when He sat down, 

His disciples came to Him.

2 And He opened His mouth and taught them, saying:

3 “Blessed 

are the poor in spirit, 

for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

4 “Blessed 

are those who mourn, 

for they shall be comforted.

5 “Blessed 

are the meek, 

for they shall inherit the earth.

6 “Blessed 

are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness!

 For they shall be filled.

7 “Blessed 

are the merciful, 

for they shall receive mercy.

8 “Blessed

 are the pure in heart, 

for they shall see God.

9 “Blessed 

are the peacemakers, 

for they shall be called sons of God.

10 “Blessed 

are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, 

for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

11 “Blessed are you 

when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. 12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

“You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste,

 how shall its saltiness be restored? 

It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out 

and trampled under people's feet.

“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. 

Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, 

but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. 

16 In the same way,

 let your light shine before others, 

so that they may see your good works 

and give glory to your Father 

Who is in Heaven!

Blessed

 are the pure in heart, 

for they shall see God.

Peace is flowing like a River

Flowing out to you and me

setting all the prisoners free

Love is flowing like a River

Flowing out to you and me

setting all the prisoners free
