Luke 15:1-10 ~ on His Shoulders, rejoicing


Luke 15:1-10


Now the tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to hear Him. 

2 And the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled, saying, “This man receives sinners and eats with them.”

3 So He told them this parable: 4 “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it?

 5 And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 



6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.’ 

7 Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.

8 “Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek diligently until she finds it? 9 And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.’ 

10 Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”


Jesus loved the Centurion.
The Centurion believes the Word of God was willing, good, capable, faithful and amazing.  The Centurion said, in effect, the Word of God holds up the Universe, speak the Word and Your Word overcomes all suffering.

This is a time, when people have expressive faces. Worry shows. 
During and after a party, doing something new, making decisions people get so upset about these 2021 days. The Disciples saw Jesus bring back dead children, the blind could see, the deaf hear, the lame could leap and walk, the leper was healed. And yet, when Lazarus came back to life, Thomas said, the authorities will kill Jesus now, and we should go with Him.

Worriers. Born in abuse, substance abuse, brutally opinionated kindly people. Struggling people.  Seasons of illness and death. When we have our troubles in front of us. People who believe God and really want to please God and feel overwhelmed. When we hate our prayers are complaints.

Jesus didn't let the Disciples go. 
He didn't say, "You worry, so, om, go home. I can replace you. Bubbeye."

We may worry, we may fuss, and be like Jacob and wrestle with an Angel of God. 
The Prodigal son worried. Our struggles are heard and God says to tell Him. The Shepherd who left the many to find the one, had concerns for all. He wouldn't be a proper Shepherd if He didn't have Compassion for the many. Jesus did. The woman who searches at night for the lost coin, needs the coin. We all know if we feel assured of the outcome, we wait until light to find the lost item. These Parables are about pressing through being real with real events.



I've found when I have concerns and look worried, and I am in company, if I address the concerns of us all, I'm in company with those who press past their worries and continue to strive until fear is cast down. To acknowledge the Truth is to Overcome. The Truth. Jesus tells us He is The Way, The Truth and The Life. When we trust God with our genuine inner beings, and who we really are, we trust God to be ourselves. 

Let God be God and Help and Comfort us.

God is with the anxious Shepherd looking for his 3-year-old son. God is with the anxious parent waiting for the teenager. Father God is with the parents who pray for their college sons. And grown children.

God is for us when we suffer financial setbacks or have unexpected bills. God helps us to have calm to diligently look for the Solutions.


Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less. Marie Curie

Jesus Christ told us He has come that we might have Life in Abundance. Worry doesn't add a cubit to our lives.


Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. Buddha

Mary said in Luke 1, 
The Proud are scattered in the imaginations of their heart. We are blessed God's Mercy wants to Dwell with us.


Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself. Harvey Fierstein

Let Love be Genuine. Fight the Good Fight.



You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life. Winston Churchill

Our enemy might be our concerns robbing us of Joy. The Gospels have the father who says to Jesus, 
"I have faith. Help me to have more." And Jesus did. Just as He helped Peter out of the Sea of Galilee.


God did not make us to walk on water. 
Peter had a much better relationship with Jesus when he swam to Jesus to have breakfast. Marie Curie died from her experiments. God did not give His Disciples Comfort all the time. We are expected to be thinking Children of God and have discussions with Him on discomfort to find again His Holy Spirit and have Comfort.



Abba, Father God, 

Help us to Seek You first.

May the Word of God living in us,
 Strengthen us in 
all Goodness.

In the Highest Name of Jesus for ourselves,
and those we love. Amen.





So the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness
and praise spring up before all nations.

Jesus bless Elliott with Your Willing Healing!
Please

Father God help us to fill those we love with renewed hope for years ahead
 filled with love. 
We ask in the Highest name of Jesus Christ. Amen.


Let the Amen be of His Will being the Exact Nature of 
Jesus Christ. 
Blessings for the Goodness of Your Will and Plan. Amen!

Psalm 67 ~ bless us and make His Face to shine upon us, Selah †



Psalm 67


May God be gracious to us and bless us
    and make His Face to shine upon us, 
Selah



That Your way may be known on earth,
    your saving power among all nations.

3 Let the peoples praise you, O God;
    let all the peoples praise you!


4 Let the nations be glad and sing for joy,
    for You judge the peoples with equity
    and guide the nations upon earth. Selah



5 Let the peoples praise you, O God;
    let all the peoples praise you!


6 The earth has yielded its increase;
    God, our God, shall bless us.
7 God shall bless us;
    let all the ends of the earth fear him!




Wonderful and Wow. Amazing to see this beloved song performed like Rumpapapum for the Lord Jesus and His Glory. A gift. The display of her robe as the brilliant blue planet, God's Good Creation floating suspended on nothing.  Her grace upon grace words. Beautiful


Job 25:7 - 12

7 He stretches out the north over the void and hangs the earth on nothing. 

8 He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not split open under them. 9 He covers the face of the full moon and spreads over it his cloud. 10He has inscribed a circle on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness. 11The pillars of heaven tremble and are astounded at his rebuke. 12 By his power He stilled the sea; 
by His understanding







Abba, Father God,

Your Blessing is upon me
Your Blessing is upon us.

We have no gift to give You,
You have not provided.
And we know what You have asked for.

Believe in our Heart.
Say with our mouth.
Pray with Hope.
Give You Faith.

And we will say,
"Thank You, Father.
In all our seasons,
You have given us Jesus.
You have cared, Loved
and we are Thankful.
Today and Tomorrow,
Thank You."

Amen
All our Alleluias
are in Jesus Christ,
God's Only Son
our Savior.
Amen.

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.

and Hospital Security Cameras. 


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
and working today.

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

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. <><
