John 1 ~ The Living Word is with God


Mosaic, probably of Alexander the Great. In a fifth century Synagogue in
Huqoq, Israel. 



In 20014, Alexander, my youngest son, was in Yaquq known to archeologists as Huqoq, Israel. And Alexander found a 4th century coin with Baylor, and a team from the University of North Carolina.



Tyre was an Island - Before Alexander the Great decided to make more mainland.


In 332 B.C., Alexander besieged, defeated and created Tyre into the mainland from formerly being an island and Gaza in his march toward Egypt. 

During this campaign, he turned toward Jerusalem. This had been recorded in Scriptures by Ezekiel 400 years early prophetically. Alexander the Great had already demanded men and supplies from the Jews, who were under the rule of Alexander's mortal enemy, the Persian king Darius. The high priest hesitated, saying that while Darius lived they would honor their pledge. Alexander was angry and began a move on the city.

Well aware of the danger, Jaddua asked the people for prayer to God for His mercy and protection. 

Then, says Josephus, Jaddua had a dream as to how to entreat the Macedonian king. He and the other priests dressed in their priestly robes and, accompanied by others dressed in white garments, formed a procession going out of the city to a carefully chosen place to meet the Alexander the Great.

Alexander then did the unexpected. 

Alone, he approached the high priest and members of the procession and greeted them. 

He bowed down.

Alexander said: "I did not adore him, but that God who hath honoured him with his high priesthood; for I saw this very person in a dream, in this very habit [garment], when I was at Dios in Macedonia, who, when I was considering with myself how I might obtain the dominion of Asia, exhorted me to make no delay, but boldly to pass over the sea thither, for that he would conduct my army, and would give me the dominion over the Persians; whence it is, that having seen no other in that habit, and now seeing this person in it, and remembering that vision, and the exhortation which I had in my dream, I believe that I bring this army under the divine conduct, and shall therewith conquer Darius, and destroy the power of the Persians, and that all things will succeed according to what is in my own mind" (Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews, Book 11, chap. 8, sec. 5, William Whiston translation, 1981).

Josephus records Alexander accompanied the priest into Jerusalem and Temple, where he "offered sacrifice to God, according to the high priest's direction, and magnificently treated both the high priest and the priests."

Alexander's visit was capped by a briefing from the book of Daniel, written several centuries earlier, which foretold the rise and conquests of Alexander. "And when the book of Daniel was shewed him, wherein Daniel declared that one of the Greeks should destroy the empire of the Persians, he supposed that himself was the person intended; and as he was then glad, he dismissed the multitude."



What Alexander the Great encountered was, of course, the Living God. This is what we hope for our children and our loved ones to realize about Jesus.





 
 


The Apocrypha is debunked frequently.

Josephus would have said this is a mistake to debunk the Apocrypha. Without the history lessons from the Apocrypha, we would not have miraculous Hanukkah recorded. We would not have Biblical explanations for more miracles of God that led to Zeus not being sacrificed to in the Temple. We would not know of the heroism of Judas Maccabees. We would lose the understanding Jeremiah fully Knew to hide the Ark of the Covenant sealed until God unseals the Ark from Mount Nebo (from the Greek word ἀπόκρυφος, apókruphos, meaning "hidden"), where Moses stopped and did not enter the promised land. Without the Apocrypha, history wouldn't explain the Herods easily, we wouldn't know the coins of Israel / Judah depicted and image the first time of a non-Davidic king declaring majesty over the Children of God. The time had come for the Messiah.

Until 1534, the Apocrypha was  recorded as part of Scripture. St. Nicolas risked life and limb to meet with Bishops to agree what the Holy Spirit would call Scripture for a Church Jesus was prophetic to say existed.

Among the Dead Sea Scrolls were a number of manuscripts of the Apocrypha.

And yes,  parts of the Apocrypha are unlikely seeming, or as if they appeal to Asian worshipers.  Scripture is factual - and - God's Word appeals to - the intended people of God.

Yes, the language was merely of the written, spoken words of the people of God. Greek. How unlike God? God did not say He sent His only begotten son to the Hebrew speaking world. God sent His people into the second exile (why they were returning well treated from Emperor Darius) and to the people like Alexander the Great.

Why? GOD was on a mission. A God sized Mission - to save - the - World.

Alexander the Great made sure as he was dying to enter Palace of Nebuchadnezzar II (400 year deceased) - Alexander was trying to find a way to die near someone near God who had experienced a Prophetic life. Nebuchadnezzar II was seen by Isaiah 200 years before he lived in Isaiah 13. Reaching for God and His love. Seeking the Living God.





John 1 says something very profound about this Discovery TODAY.

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.


Alexander was told about what Daniel had to say about Alexander the Great. Because they wanted Alexander to believe. They probably forgot to tell Alexander the Great what was said about making Tyre into a rubble.

Ezekiel told about that prophecy.

Ezekiel 26 announces the destruction of Tyre (Ezekiel was the prophet who announced a head of time what Nebuchadnezzar would do) , Ezekiel 27 asks for a prayer for the beautiful Tyre. Combine the two chapters, you have a wonderful example of God's mercy.

Ezekiel 27:1-4

1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
2 Now, thou son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyrus;
3 And say unto Tyrus, O thou that art situate at the entry of the sea, which art a merchant of the people for many isles, Thus saith the Lord GOD; O Tyrus, thou hast said, I am of perfect beauty. 4 Thy borders are in the midst of the seas, thy builders have perfected thy beauty.

Tyre, Lebanon today - the coast and southern half are devoid of population and are in ruins.

Ezekiel 26:1-14 ~ (Revised Standard Version)

In the eleventh year, on the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me:
"Son of man, because Tyre said concerning Jerusalem, `Aha, the gate of the peoples is broken, it has swung open to me; I shall be replenished, now that she is laid waste,' therefore thus says the Lord GOD:

Behold, I am against you, O Tyre, and will bring up many nations against you, as the sea brings up its waves. They shall destroy the walls of Tyre, and break down her towers; and I will scrape her soil from her, and make her a bare rock.

She shall be in the midst of the sea a place for the spreading of nets; for I have spoken, says the Lord GOD; and she shall become a spoil to the nations;
and her daughters on the mainland shall be slain by the sword. Then they will know that I am the LORD.

"For thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I will bring upon Tyre from the north Nebuchadrez'zar king of Babylon, king of kings, with horses and chariots, and with horsemen and a host of many soldiers.

He will slay with the sword your daughters on the mainland; he will set up a siege wall against you, and throw up a mound against you, and raise a roof of shields against you. He will direct the shock of his battering rams against your walls, and with his axes he will break down your towers. His horses will be so many that their dust will cover you; your walls will shake at the noise of the horsemen and wagons and chariots, when he enters your gates as one enters a city which has been breached. With the hoofs of his horses he will trample all your streets; he will slay your people with the sword; and your mighty pillars will fall to the ground.

They will make a spoil of your riches and a prey of your merchandise; they will break down your walls and destroy your pleasant houses; your stones and timber and soil they will cast into the midst of the waters.

And I will stop the music of your songs, and the sound of your lyres shall be heard no more.

I will make you a bare rock; you shall be a place for the spreading of nets; you shall never be rebuilt; for I the LORD have spoken, says the Lord GOD.


God laments Tyre. 



Where?
The Huqoq Excavation Project is excavating a fifth-century A.D. synagogue at Huqoq, an ancient village in Israel’s Lower Eastern Galilee located three miles west of Magdala (home of Mary Magdalene) and Capernaum Jesus' hometown.

Because?
In reality, God is reaching to all of His Creation. To discover, just as Alexander the Great, God is is found when He is sought.

Because... Because?

And Today. Today. Today. God still has Tyre as a desolation explaining the Word of God goes on forever.

Why say John 1 contributes to the Passage?
The Word of God points to the same message from the Father. The tributaries run to the streams, the streams to the river, the River becomes the Ocean.

Jesus did not stay on as a Warrior King. Jesus Christ, Messiah, instead Jesus fought for all of us.

God defended Hezekiah - and his God seeking, earnest nation against the Assyrian Empire.
God defended returning Judah freed slaves as the wall surrounding Jerusalem was made safe.

God defended Judah from Alexander the Great after fulfilling the Word of God as told by Daniel and Ezekiel in the Holy Spirit.

Luke 2:14
"Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests."


Father God, 

We will with Your Help me be one of Your numbers, when the saints go marching in.

And my family. For the Churches of Jesus Christ. My loved ones and even the people we wait upon in prayer for His favor to create harmony. 

Bless us to rejoice on all of His Saints asking God's favor for more Peace on earth. For this nation and all nations trusting in Him. His mercy is over all.

When a man loves the Lord, even his enemies are at peace with him. 
We ask in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

1 Corinthians 16:13 ~ Be Strong


We are told the Bible is Harsh. Old Fashioned. And the Bible conflicts Biblical Advice.  Jesus said to know the Scriptures is to know the Power of God. We have to know the Scriptures to apply the Scriptures. The Bible deals with all types of situations and attitudes.

Suppose every day you dealt with the sadism of criminal behavior.

What would the Bible say about being provoked continually to prove you are human?



When John Adams was called to the English Court and the French Court, he saw ingratiating sycophantic, toadying, fawning, unctuous, obsequious playing for power with people determined to keep their court mired in little good works. To their own purpose. And in anger, John Adams dealt with people who dissimilated information with plain talk of needs met and goals achieved. Adams achieved more without the corruption other politicians took on for their lives.

If you deal with liars, telling them sweet encouragement is Not advisable.

If you deal with the mafia with Respect and Fear, the situation will get worse.

What if you are a criminal investigator?

The Bible says:

Matthew 18:15-17

“If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector."


1 Timothy 5:20
As for those who persist in sin, rebuke them in the presence of all, so that the rest may stand in fear.


Titus 2:15
Declare these things; exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no one disregard you.




1 Corinthians 16:13

Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.




What if your job called you to speak to the mafia?

What if your job was to defend criminals and try for their redemption?

You won't be given a lot of respect.




Ephesians 6:4

Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.


Psalm 103:13

As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him



In the book of Ephesians, we see how the gospel story affects believers' everyday lives.





1 John 4:19
We love because he first loved us.

Only God can give Job steadfastness of purpose in the face of very difficult times.


John 3:16

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."

The Brother of Jesus Christ said this:

Jude 1:23
save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear--hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.



1 Corinthians 16:13
Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.



James 5:11
As you know, we count as blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job's perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.

We don't bring our children up to put hands in campfires. We deal strongly with words, works and actions leading to death and the doom of Hope and Joy.





Father God, Abba,

You are our Good Father. You protect us from some pretty terrible things in Leviticus with swift God decisions. All of the institutions teaching the Law we use to protect our citizens - upholds and supports the Laws taught from Abram to Moses. We Bless you to find Your Blessings we have to look to Leviticus and Numbers. The Blessing of Jabez is found as God is talking about What Your Living Word is: Information for differing situations. Guidance. The Word of God is Living and Active.

We give Thanks learning God supports common sense.

Does the Bible Conflict - no, in learning God's Word we learn to find our answers by doing as Jesus said to know the Scriptures is to know the Power of God.

In saying no to the absolute "no's" of the world, we find God will bring us to His Path where steadfastness of goal and purpose is pleasing to God and fully explained in James 5.

God blessing us, we ask, with ALL of His Willingness to make a Hope and a Future for our families. For the Blessing of all of our Loved ones. And sweeping our lives up into the Nation and to all the Nations trusting God. For the empowerment of all the faithful asking You, our Willing Father, for more Heaven on earth.

In Jesus Christ we pray,
Amen.

Deuteronomy 6:4 ~ One









Pew Research Center

Who is Jesus according to the U.S.A.

American adults (55%) say they pray daily

Americans are more like people in poorer, developing nations – including South Africa (52%), Bangladesh (57%) and Bolivia (56%)

Other countries surveyed with gross domestic products greater than $30,000 per person, 40% of adults say they pray every day.

The U.S. tendency to run counter to international trends on religiosity fascinated social scientists. Notably, Alexis de Tocqueville, 19th-century French political thinker, discussed the large role religion played in American society in his famous book, “Democracy in America.”


 Gallup 2017

Thirty-seven percent of Americans can be classified as highly religious based on their self-reports of church attendance and the importance of religion in their lives.

Protestants continue to make up the largest religious group in America, totaling 49% of U.S. adults

Americans are also about as religious this year as last year, based on their self-reported church attendance and the importance of religion in their lives. Two-thirds of Americans are either highly or moderately religious.




LifeWay Research’s 2018 survey found:

Jesus was the first and greatest being created by God the Father (78%)

Most people are basically good (52%)

God accepts the worship of all religions (51%)

The number of Americans ages 18 to 34 with evangelical beliefs (as defined by LifeWay Research) “rose significantly” from 14 percent in 2016 to 18 percent in 2018. Ligonier also noted a “large increase” in millennials affirming that salvation is found in Christ alone (62%, up from 53% in 2016) and that Jesus Christ will return to judge the world (64%, up from 55% in 2016).


Ligonier’s survey found millennials have grown more conservative on abortion as a sin (57% agreed in 2018 vs. 50% in 2016) and on sex outside of marriage as a sin (54% agreed in 2018 vs. 47% in 2016).




I lived in Cameron County, Pennsylvania for 4 years in the late 1970s. The Catholic Priest in Cameron County was very devoted and made everyone mad discussing the reality of Protestant and Catholic hell and sins. (We had a fight in our lunch room group at school over his Sermons. When the math teacher in our small town heard us fighting we told her why. The priest had said who was going to hell. She told us to carry on with the fight.) He made the secular newspaper and talk went around the county to have him replaced - the Catholic Church said no. He was not part of the Diocese found to have 1,000 child related victims of sexual molestation. At Birthday parties for adults and at weddings, people discussed leaving Catholic Churches due to child molestation. At one event, 40 Churches and priests were named. Being in a Protestant Choir at the time,I discussed this with my Church authorities. Who told me this had long been in the rumor mill, but until someone was prosecuted this remained in the realm of gossip. With gossip being ugly. I was told even as a teenager to call people to account and make results. (I didn't as this was second-hand talk.)

We all know secular people love to hear how badly Christians fall. But there is a definite responsibility of the hear/sayers and the witnesses to speak to police. It isn't just a crime against children, it's a crime in the community. Community exists to support righteousness.

In the last ten years, a friend of ours called an anonymous tip line and their son reported a drug dealer of large important narcotics. He had heard the dealer discussing cocaine and heroin. The dealer was arrested the next day by a SWAT Helicopter lowering troops on ropes in the woods surrounded by ground troops. This is community supporting the righteous.




What I am seeing in the news and in the actions and voting of the people - I believe we are in the beginning of Rennaissance. Revival. Spiritual Awakening.

For so many years the television and news were completely neutral. And bias crept in. Opinion. With the internet not relying on the traditional framework, we are seeing people think for themselves. It's genuinely helping within families and communities and to the very Nation. If we can reduce the repeated rhetoric - we might even improve the traditional framework.

Deuteronomy 6:4

Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is One.

When we look at plain old Ancient Rome history we certainly have the ability to follow the footsteps of the Bible. Even newly found Hittite Empire completely agrees with the Bible. Babylonian Cuniform in the British Museum - thousands of them - minutely follow the Bible to be Accurate. Dependable.

If we can see Jesus died as the Bible said and rose and was called God for His Miracles - history shows us - then how will we see the Love God asks for benefits us? What practical keys are there for being Loving as God asks.


1 Being kind from your heart is renewable energy and joy.
2 Being kind from your parents raising you - appreciation.
3 Being kind to blend with obligations of society for all.
4 Being kind to be shown to be sane.
5 Being kind to have people want to know you personally.
6 Being kind to our children trusting us, when times are difficult for you and you need people.
7 Being kind for Jesus' Love returned as your appreciation of Him.
8 Being kind to stay out of jail.
9 Being kind to not poison your own well of soul and mind and body.
10 Being kind to stay sane and not think you are SM M.C. funny when this only reveals a very unkind heart. The payback is always present in the years to come.
11 Being kind and your descendants don't wish to change their name from shame.
12 Being kind for positive metality instead of  'I'm Bad' and have generally a face that looks hard and terrible.
13 Being kind so you aren't labeled as shallow and changeable at best.
14 Anger creates more anger and creates death.
15 Anger creates unhappiness and creates illness and unfortunate life changes even in the people we love best.
16 What you put on other people generally is what you receive. The Bible says cast your bread upon the waters it will return to you. Saying walk on water or get nothing from what you give to others.

Health - without a healthy mind and soul - you really have no shelter.

New Testament the words and deeds of mankind bring them before Jesus 
Yesterday, today and tomorrow. The Rock and the Foundation of Life Abundant.






Father God,

We Believe in the Lord Jesus, and we know we are saved-- Continue Your Mercy to our loved ones.

We believe fully, Jesus is Lord. We believe in our hearts that You, Father God, raised up Your Son Jesus from the dead.
We believe Your Promise of Salvation has arrived.

As we believe, so this will be done for us, according to Your Word. Yes Lord, we believe You are able.

We fully want Your Plan and Path, forgive us when we stray, please in the Name of Jesus. We will not fear, only believe. All things are possible in Jesus.

In the Name of Jesus the Lord, blessed are we who believe there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken from the Lord.

We, knowing Jesus, ask the blessings for our Loved Ones, our neighbors, coworkers, Church Family and our Nation.

In Jesus. Amen.

John 14:25-27 ~ My Peace I give to you


John 14:25-27


25 “These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. 

27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. 

Not as the world gives do I give to you. 

Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid





For about 2 weeks, I have dreamed of my departed cat Scoop. why should this matter? Really what we are discussing are the teaching methods of Father God. You don't have to be a cat lover to find the Teaching of God as good. Now. God is always good - and in the now.

Scoop arrived when our youngest son was in kindergarten and lived 19 full and sassy years. Bravely and with intelligence. A feral cat, Scoop was a tiny kitten rescue of our neighborhood. He went were Scoop wanted to go. Snidely being unkind to our successive 3 Springer Spaniels. Enjoying hordes of visiting boys, at all ages, as bravely as an Admiral.

Living every day given to him until the day he put himself on our carpet flat as a pancake and gave me the look of understanding all creatures of God's creation are only forever in God's Personal Kingdom. Scoop saw all three of our dogs, all three of our homes and all the seasons of life including going from a family of 4 to 2, during college. The day Scoop died we spent the day on the sofa and going out to look at the pond with interest. From time to time Scoop touched me with his paw, he knew the journey and the day was for us both. At Twilight I went to run some household errands for about 30 minutes and came back to find Scoop peacefully forever asleep. I took a photo because of the peace. We gathered all four of us and buried him the next day in a spot with another cat Scoop had been so good to and Merit the amazing Springer. We wept. And Scoop had a funeral of all love.







Scoop has been gone to God for two years. Lions lie down with lambs. Sparrows are included and God sends His own horses to Elijah.

Old cats learn new tricks, at age 17 Scoop learned to love the unrelenting Beaux Springer for constant love - Amazing Scoop as if he didn't know love could arrive for a d o g 



For two weeks, Scoop had been greeting me in my dreams. I'd gotten used to finding him there. I sit in one of Heaven's yards, just by the huge Home, and Scoop plays in the woods and large trees with Magnolia branches letting him climb and climb and climb with other happy cats and Springer Spaniels. The visit is for Scoop. He is a teenager cat. Scoop alone has permission to visit which he explains without words to me. Scoop sits in my lap and looks up at me. We talk without words. We aren't surprised.


I tell him he looks good, Scoop assures me he feels amazing. Can't even remember feeling this good. He is astonished at how great he feels and how joyous it is to run up and down the sweeping branches. He is joyously thrilled to feel so good. {I found a large tumor in his intestines when I took his last photo - our 19-year-old had gone from colon cancer.}

Scoop doesn't answer me when I ask him to tell me who the other cats are. He doesn't say, Scoop isn't supposed to. In fact, it feels like the conversation has gently ended for us there. He tells me this is  Heaven and great, very matter of factly, and he explains he goes in the House whenever he wants to with all the others. I inadvertently notice Scoop is in his teen years. Lean and not so beautiful as middle-aged - his coat got to be glorious. Scoop is characteristically annoyed. He says Jesus picked and is quiet. And annoyed. Scoop relents as he considers I'm only a mortal. And we love one another. He assures me now with perfect calm - ending the discussion - he is Amazingly Energetic and Fully Scoop. I tell him how beautiful and alert he is in his green and blue-rimmed eyes - so intelligent. He says feeling good is Heaven. Being all in..Being all in.



I become so used to seeing Scoop at night for two weeks, about the last day I woke up and looked for him. And realize he has departed for two years. It's a bummer, bummer day. And it is the last day.






Now to the part of the Holy Spirit. When the boys were little we had a Mamma cat and her babies and Misty who was 7. One week they vanished. Cats who were always allowed to be in the yard and in and out come back. Our beloved cats were gone. Children cried. We looked and prayed. /Fliers are put up. The cats were gone. Theories were put forth, some were very, very grim. Our kids grew up and we still talk about the cats who were suddenly all gone. Still has some pain. One long-liked neighbor visited to say the cats were abducted with purpose - never mind the collars.

This week was the week to really think about what happened to Misty, 7-year-old. Fat, fluffy Persian gifted to us by family.The end of Bronchitis and tears. I guess I finally faced they were taken. No parts were found. And I thought grim and hateful things about people taking cats obviously loved cats. And faced the worry of what cat/pet/love stealers would do to beloved and happy cats when the cat abductors obviously were not. And the fire of dislike grew for a day.beloved and happy cats when the thief obviously was not. And the fire of dislike grew for a day.


The Holy Spirit says He is our Teacher. However, the Holy Spirit does not say we will love the lesson. And we pray the Light of Jesus Christ to stay in our souls, minds and heart to continue to Love. And to concentrate on the thief. Burdened by something fierce.andand heart to continue to Love. And to concentrate on the thief. Burdened by something fierce.

To bring who we are to Jesus Christ. Psalm 139 becomes very somber at the end about protection of the innocent and unable to care for themselves. David 'brings it' the true dislike and fierce hatred of wickedness and evil actions. God is Ancient of Days, He says "Bring it on." Bring our whole heart to God. The Tragic. The hurt. the pain. The memory re-awakens. The kittens were born seen by young boys in the sheer thrill of God's Goodness. The mom cat rescued from being feral. A long work of goodness. Taken.astonishedastonished young boys in the sheer thrill of God's Goodness. The mom cat rescued from being feral. A long work of goodness. Taken.


And anger was strong. How do you cope with deliberate hate directed fully? For a day and a half - I didn't know. And then I did know. God our Father gives us the Holy Spirit. God invests in us to free us.


John 8:36

36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.


Now I hasten to add the Prodigal Son is all, really all, and all-encompassing about the seasons and time for the Whole Healing. This process. Good with God.taken for the Whole Healing. This process. Good with God.




I realized I had spent two decades and three years, now and then. casually explaining to Father God why a hater shouldn't be allowed the Love of God. And the Light poured in. The Glorious Joy of how High, How Rich, How Wide, How Immeasurable is the Glory of God's Love. The Sheer Joy of This Is My God.

The Incredible Love of God is the point of God. God is Love. God explains He wants the whole world not to live with condemnation but to experience and know and see how powerless we are to earn God. To do what life gives us and give back love.

To know the astounding Love God brings us. The Heavenly Host does not sing in obligation - Joy Carries through the Universe and the Eternal. God's Grace Pours Forth.

We would not want to serve God if He was not Love. Our God is Worthy. Worthy to love to heal them all. We do not stand able to Judge.  Proverbially, the man raking his leaves sitting in the chair- isn't lazy  - we do not know his crutches. We do not know his life. God knows his heart - completely.


And in the Overwhelming God with His one lost sheep - I would not deny God His own Glory to Love and to know the heart. I would not take any of God's love from God or the one who took the cats.

I would tell Father God with all my being, "You Go LOVE!!! I wouldn't deny You any of Your Glory. You Love!!! I hand this all to You. You Will Heal Them ALL. I want to stand in Your Glory - Your Love. Let Your Love Ring out over this blue, blue planet in a sea of black where the Sun warms us. The Son."LOVE!!! I wouldn't deny You any of Your Glory. You Love!!! I hand this all to You. You Will Heal Them ALL. I want to stand in Your Glory - Your Love. Let Your Love Ring out over this blue, blue planet in a sea of black where the Sun warms us. The Son."

I realized I wouldn't want to take any small or large or hurtful measure from our Father who Loves. More Joy to our God. More of His Miraculous Healing. More to God. More. More of my Thanks to Thrill God. More of God. More. God is Able. God is Willing. God easily is God. God will cover and heal and do what God alone needs. GOD IS GOD.donedone. GOD IS GOD.

And I have to tell you, I thank God that God is God. I am more than pleased to be Child of God and not burdened with the deeper questions. God's Glory covers us in His Light. Exactly why the face of Jesus Christ in Revelations is Light. God's Love is that. The Light of the world. The Light creates us all. Always.


God is God and peace of God is profound. God's Light is the cleansing of Living Water. The beauty of a clear stream. That's our God.


And in this Peace, I realized I will see our kittens as cats with dignity and joy and God's own Purpose. The events are not complete the circle will be filled. Joy Loves and Lives.



Abba, Father God,

We ask Your Willing Blessings. Soaking and pulling us up. We appreciate Your Blessings. Earnestly.

The Circle is unbroken here and now God, here and now.

We will live in the Light of Jesus Christ now and always.

Let the Light of Your Creation bless us each and every day. 

Fully knowing You alone are God the Most High. High.Most



We will take this very day God and do all we can for You.

You are our God and we Love You, here and now God, here and now.

You fill us with Your all and all God, here and now God, here and now.

The circle is unbroken. Here and Now Lord, Here and Now.

We entrust our cares and loves ones fully to You.

You will fill us here and now Lord God, now here and now.

The whole earth is Your Creation and Your Glory.

Fill us with Your Holy Spirit and we will rejoice here and now Lord

and forevermore and more.


Thanks unto You, Father God. Light of the World.be


In Jesus Christ, we pray, 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. <><
