Luke 17:37 ~ Where the Body of Christ is



Did Jesus ever tell us in the Bible about the New World?

I believe Jesus did hint of this. When the Book of Revelations is read, we remember Daniel Chapter Two explaining the King's dream. We remember Joseph explaining the Pharaoh's Dream. The Book of Revelation explains picture words telling of nations to be and form.

Picture words are important. The Bible tells us God warns of images. And we plunk down and watch Cheetos become talking things. God has always known what God is doing. I'm female, I have no problem not watching a lot of gore on TV.

Did Jesus ever tell us in the Bible about the New World? Us, the United States of America?

Luke 17:37


"And they answered and said to Him, 'Where, Lord?

And he said to them, Where the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together."







We can treat this Biblical verse exactly as we treat our soul.
We can dismiss we have a soul. We can think of this verse as dead bodies. We can think of the Body of Jesus Christ. And this is the Living God, Living Word working in our souls, heart, mind and body.




Lately, the Pew Report has Good News. About 2011, a study on Prayer said Americans pray 80% once a month. We all want conversations with those we love to occur more than once a month! And then in 2016, the Pew Report said Americans pray daily, 55%, with all Hope and Love and Soul knowing that our God hears our prayers with Mercy. Marriage has increased, babies born to parents married and committed has increased. We pray with the same rate as nations with supreme distress. We pray in Good times and in improvement-quickly-needed times.




We have a House.
A Nation built to govern to love, encourage, feed, fill and nourish We the People of These United States of America.

We can do what we will to this House. We can dismiss we are a People with this House. We can count historical losses and failures. We can speak of these failures constantly. We can be dead to the Nation and refuse to find uplifting goodness and fail to vote.

We can think of the Church of Jesus Christ, as Winning and Triumphant. The Church ceased to lose 2% annually. The Nation knows profound is the movement from established denominations, to move to find more of the Living God. The Body of Christ is upbuilding. We can remember the Hurricanes where the people were fed by the grid work of Churches coming together for one solid year to feed Katrina Evacuees. We can remember Sutherland Springs, Texas where neighbors raced and fought to make sure the gunman didn't get to the next Church. Lives put on the line to create a safe haven.

We can remember the Cajun Navy. One Nation. Boston 2017 racists were overwhelmed by those Living Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Dream. We have a Dream.





We will fill our lives with what we allow.
We can vote out goodness with the old ways for votes for what we should not. We can vote in our ideals. We put aside wars profiting none. We elevate in families. We rise in education. We provide with God's Blessings. We prevail to support marriage. We prosper to provide opportunities for all in education. We have hope enduring in affordable housing. College graduates have hope to see marriages endure until death do we part. Providing the families holding Love together. We need Strong Families with the Hope Jesus Sustains.

We can dream of possibilities. Term limits. Better education costs. Less war. We can fill our lives with better dreams.





Really we know what inspires. Jesus Christ. Every faithful person has a miracle God has given. Our heart to His Heart.  We know God's Love, we will fill our lives with Jesus Christ. And have His Strength. Have His Comfort, give and receive His Love. The Name above all.


Philippians 2

So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, 2 complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. 3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus





May the Lord God our Father
Bless us and Keep us,
May the Lord God our Father make His face to Shine upon us.
May the Lord God our Father  continue to be gracious to us.
Thank You, Father God.

May the Lord God our Father, our Abba, Smile upon us and lift up His Face.

May the Lord God our Father give us Peace.
May the Lord God our Father give us the assurance of His own Peace.
We will wrap His Blessings to surround us and live the assurance of our Father God's Promises and Blessings.

May the Blessings of our Jesus surround us, enfold us, guide and lead us forever.


And in the Name of Jesus Christ, we will be forever blessed.


Amen and Amen.

Psalm 130 ~ out of the depths, I cry to you, O Lord



Bethany Vintage Photo 1800's


Bethany. Not one of the cities Jesus spoke of. Bethany is probably very pleasing to Father God.

According to the Temple Scroll from Qumran, three places for the care of the sick, including one for lepers, are to be east of Jerusalem. The passage also defines a (minimum) radius of three thousand cubits (circa 1,800 yards) around the city within which nothing unclean shall be seen. Since Bethany was, according to John, fifteen stadia (about 1.72 miles) from the holy city, care for the sick there corresponded with the requirements of the Temple Scroll (the stadion being ideally 600 feet (180 m) or 400 cubits).

Bethany is the place Simon the Leper lived who gave Jesus dinner. Bethany is the home of Lazarus, Mary and Martha and a dinner of Thanksgiving for Lazarus being made alive.

Bethany is where a colt is found tied up for Palm Sunday.





Psalm 130


Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord!
2 O Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive
to the voice of my pleas for mercy!

3 If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could stand?
4 But with you there is forgiveness,
that you may be feared.

5 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
and in his word I hope;
6 my soul waits for the Lord
more than watchmen for the morning,
more than watchmen for the morning.

7 O Israel, hope in the Lord!
For with the Lord there is steadfast love,
and with him is plentiful redemption.
8 And he will redeem Israel
from all his iniquities.









Waiting upon God. Something we are all familiar with. Not without results.


God is good with Mercy.


With the Lord there is steadfast love,
and with Him is plentiful redemption.

8 And He will redeem Israel
from all his iniquities.

Our Lord God - Jesus Son of God.









John 13:34
"A new command I give you: Love one another.
As I have loved you, so you must love one another."


Abba, 

Fill us with Love. We Pray for those we Love. The people You have given us. The Nation. The Believers of today. The Believers of Tomorrow.


1 John 3
18 Little children, let us love not in word and speech, but in action and truth.

19 And by this we will know that we belong to the truth, and will assure our hearts in His presence


Love - You are able to do more than we ask or imagine. More Heaven on earth. Your will be done in Jesus Christ.

We ask for our friend with cancer to be healed.

And Blessings also of Jesus on Alexander, our son, on his Birthday.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Psalm 130 ~ Steadfast Love







































Psalm 130


Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord!
2 O Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive
to the voice of my pleas for mercy!

3 If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could stand?
4 But with you there is forgiveness,
that you may be feared.

5 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
and in his word I hope;
6 my soul waits for the Lord
more than watchmen for the morning,
more than watchmen for the morning.

7 O Israel, hope in the Lord!
For with the Lord there is steadfast love,
and with him is plentiful redemption.
8 And he will redeem Israel
from all his iniquities.



When we think about all the time we have fought our battles with Prayer. I'm reminded of the Children of Israel waiting for 500 years. Not even being literate as a crowd of slaves with the name of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob's God, yet waiting for Him.

England began the campaign to end slavery in 1779 and completed the job in 1807. The Slave trade knew this and slavery in America knew this - And began to pray. Some prayers take time.

This nation was colonized from 1585 on indentured servitude, "controlled" labour through an exploitative debt-peonage system, formally developed in the late 17th century and continued through to the period of the American Revolution. Not all "servants" came willingly. It's estimated almost every and all of the indentured/enslaved people died in the 16 to mid 17th centuries. Several instances of kidnapping for transportation to the Americas and one of these unwilling participants in the new colonies was Benjamin Franklin.

We could go with this idea of waiting on the Lord - - - all the way back to not only the servitude of Goshen Children of Israel, we could continue waiting on the Lord - during - the Exodus. Moses certainly did not control the Lord God Almighty. We could guess Moses tried - knowing human nature. Moses, after all, did not again put his hand next to his chest inside his robe to show Pharoah (probably Seti II, 19th Dynasty, 1200 BC) Moses had Leprosy. Moses, based upon his retirement on Mount Nebo and not the Promised Land probably annoyed God from time to time. (Blessed, blessed, blessed to be Children of the New Covenant covered in the Name of Jesus!!!)

We know the Children of Israel were a difficult people. Don't bother Pharoah. What! Send us back to be slaves here comes Pharaoh and Army! We are Hungry. We are Thirsty. Don't have God talk to us. You talk to Him. We want to go back to Egypt. We need a Golden Calf. We won't fight. We don't want to find giants. A dear friend of mine saw images of the Exodus journey and felt so bad - she said she would complain. Certainly.

Yet God is always our Love because He is our Comfort and Comforter. When Alexander, our youngest son traveled to Russia, Siberia caught on fire. The heat in Moscow was at 100'. This summer Anchorage and fairbanks Alaska are having fires. We will pray for them as well.

When Father God took the Children of Israel into the desert, He is all capable in all environments. Father God provided cloud by day and fire by night. This is an Action of God, we can consider well if Alaska and Siberia can burn - the desert can be cool with rain and relief and bloom. More babies were born easily in the time of the 40 years of the Exodus. Manna, evidently, did Godly well.





Jesus, so at home in this life He calls, "Joy", Jesus sat to teach.


How would we relate all of this waiting on Jesus Christ? With some difficulty, the Word "immediately" was near Jesus all the time.

Jesus did say this to the people He would spend time with during His Ministry of Grace upon Grace: Even to the little children, Jesus would give His Word of what we are able to do, Jesus said to little children, "Come unto me." Jesus intended small children to seek Jesus. Move their feet.

Jesus said what we do to the least, we do to Jesus. Children died too often to be considered the greatest prizes. Functioning men were "Bar" "Son". If Jesus told the least, the little children, to seek Him, we should do this.

Jesus told the paralyzed man, the man at the Pool of Siloam, many healed people first, after being part of a crowd and waiting on Jesus, "Your sins are forgiven."

O Israel, hope in the Lord!
For with the Lord there is
steadfast love,
and with him is
plentiful redemption.

8 And he will redeem Israel
from all his iniquities.



Waiting on the Lord would include: Sent to the Pool of Siloam. Sent to see the Priest. Go home, don't go into the village. Put the people out of the daughter's death bed mourning. Have faith. Pick up your pallet. Walk.

Even in the Exodus, the people walked across the Red Sea.





Grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

His Grace is our Promise.

Abba,

Blessed be You, God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 

You have blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places,

You chose us in Jesus before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before You, covered by Jesus.

In Your love, You predestined us for adoption in Jesus as sons according Your will and good Purpose.

We thank You for Your glorious grace, with which You have blessed us in the Beloved. Shower our dear friend with healing from cancer. Bless Alaska with Showers to stop the fires and all along the West Coast. Bless Hawaii to send rain quickly as the Hurricane departs.

Because of Jesus, we have redemption through Jesus' blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of Your grace, which You lavished upon us.

In all wisdom and insight making known to us the mystery of Your will, according to Your purpose, which You set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in You, things in heaven and things on earth.

We give Thanks for the Glory of God - Your Love. Covering us, the people we Love, our Nation, the Children believing in You, the Nations trusting in You. In Your Word You tell us to ask for more Heaven on earth.

In Jesus Christ. Amen and Amen and Amen.

Revelation 1:9-18 ~ The Living One



Patmos front yard for John's house, a cave. Rather lovely and like Capernaum.



Revelation 1:9-18



I, John, your brother and partner in the tribulation and the kingdom and the patient endurance that are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos on account of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. 10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet 11 saying, “Write what you see in a book and send it to the seven churches, to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.”

12 Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest. 14 The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, 15 his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters. 16 In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength.

17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, “Fear not, I am the first and the last, 18 and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades.



Patmos in winter






We can surmise John had last seen Jesus about 63 years earlier based upon his exile and the Emperor who exiled John to Patmos.






At some point in the decades of life - we decide something important. We decide we have lived a life worth living. And in having this gratitude - we blaze a candle held for the Path of Jesus for ourselves, friends, loved ones, family and people yet unborn.





And we have arrived at Revelation 1!!! We have found Joy.


With a glimpse of what John found in finding Jesus.

Ephesians 1:10
A plan for the fullness of time, to bring all things in heaven and on earth together in Christ.

Ephesians 3:16
I pray that out of the riches of His glory He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being,

Psalm 119:105
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.





Abba Father

The Blessing of God, our Willing Father God. Thank You.


When we rejoice - we are happier.


When trouble in life comes - with You - we overcome.


When we see life multiplied - we Rejoice.


Thank You, Your blessings fall on us and the ones we love. Upon the people You have given us.


All over our culture, all over our nation.


Soak is with the Steadfast Love of Jesus and the Holy Spirit.



Worldwide we pray this and have the joy of thinking as we go to sleep -


Our Father God - You - cover the planet with the prayers of the believing hearts.


For the prayers we hold to us so closely. For the prayers of good health.


To know each day - we have opportunity - to have meaningful life - building our soul - to You.



In Jesus Christ. We Love Jesus and Bless Him. Thanking You for our Blessings and asking You to


uphold and heal our concerns.



We abundantly lift up our friends and the people who have asked for prayer in Jesus for healing and Your Blessings.


Jesus is Willing. Amen.

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. <><
