Hebrews 4:16 ~ draw near

 




Hebrews 4:16

Let us then with confidence draw near 
to the throne of grace, 
that we may receive mercy 
and find grace to help in time of need.




As we enter Heaven, we would probably find we enter Heaven with people with words and dress of our earthly era. Not always, sometimes the Bible says we sleep for 1,000 years.  Yet as we enter Heaven, we are going to find 7 levels of Heaven according to Paul. This would take in the Nations and Nations Revelation says make up Heaven, too many to count. And we would find different eras and cultures. Music we have never encountered before. Heaven!



Revelation 7:9 

 After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude 
that no one could number, 
from every nation, 
from all tribes and peoples and languages, 
standing before the throne and before the Lamb, 
clothed in white robes, 
with palm branches in their hands 



Zechariah 8:5

And the streets of the city will be filled with boys and girls at play.





Isaiah 44:3

I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground,
I will pour My Spirit upon thy seed
and My Blessing upon thine offspring.



Psalm 107 

  Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good,
    for his steadfast love endures forever!
2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,
    whom he has redeemed from trouble
3 and gathered in from the lands,
    from the east and from the west,
    from the north and from the south.

Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
    and he delivered them from their distress.
29 He made the storm be still,
    and the waves of the sea were hushed.
30 Then they were glad that the waters were quiet,
    and he brought them to their desired haven.
31 Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,
    for his wondrous works to the children of man!



Revelation 22:1

Then the angel showed me a river of the water of life, clear as crystal,
flowing from the throne of God
and of the Lamb, Christ.


Isaiah 49

Saying to the prisoners, ‘Come out,’
    to those who are in darkness, ‘Appear.’
They shall feed along the ways;
    on all bare heights shall be their pasture;
10 they shall not hunger or thirst,
    neither scorching wind nor sun shall strike them,
for he who has pity on them will lead them,
    and by springs of water will guide them.

11 And I will make all my mountains a road,
    and my highways shall be raised up.

12 Behold, these shall come from afar,
    and behold, these from the north and from the west,
    and these from the land of Syene.”

13 Sing for joy, O heavens, and exult, O earth;
    break forth, O mountains, into singing!

For the Lord has comforted his people
    and will have compassion on his afflicted.





Isaiah 19:23 

In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria. 
The Assyrians will go to Egypt, 
and the Egyptians to Assyria. 
The Egyptians and Assyrians will worship together.



Psalm 46:4

There is a river whose streams delight the city of God,
the Holy Place
where the Most High Dwells.



 

 Ezekiel 47:1 

Then the man brought me back to the entrance of the temple, and I saw water flowing from under the threshold of the temple toward the east (for the temple faced east). The water was coming down from under the south side of the temple, south of the altar. 

 Zechariah 14:8 
And on that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half of it toward the Eastern Sea and the other half toward the Western Sea, 
in summer and winter alike.







1 Corinthians 3:16 
Do you not know that you yourselves are God's temple 
and that God's Spirit 
dwells in your midst?








Abba, Father God,

Thank You for Jesus.
Help us to always seek You first.

Dwell in us Daily. Know every aspect of our Being.
We ask Your Willing Blessings for us
and for those we Love to be
part of Your Love and Encouragement in Jesus Christ.

Blessings upon this Nation in Jesus, we pray.

Thank You for Hearing our Prayers.

We pray for those who are so concerned and not saying.
We ask Your mercy upon the dying. My mother.
We pray for families to find wisdom and Love in encouragement
and the discussions we need to know one another. 
Help families strengthen one another.
Bless our efforts to
communicate.

We pray You Reign over the Changes of Life
we do not control and ask Your Capable Love upon these days.
Your Mercy and Willing Help. Comfort. Comforter.

Bless Elliott with Healing.

In the Most Loving, Most Capable,
Highest Name of Jesus we pray, Amen!

1 John 4:9 ~ God showed His love among us †



Papyrus 66

The First Epistle of John. The manuscript was found in 1952 at Jabal Abu Mana near Dishna, Egypt. The preservation level of P66 surprised scholars because the first 26 leaves were basically fully intact, and even the stitching of the binding remained. In the editio princeps, Martin originally dated P66 to around a.d. 200, saying it was very much like P. Oxy. 1074 (Exodus), a manuscript the editors said might well be placed at the beginning of the third century or even earlier.






Today, history scholars call the works of 


Raphael and Michelangelo, "cartoons."
The Vatican maintains a steady 6 to 13 million visitors per year. Italy has 3,000 museums. The USA has 33,000 museums and cannot touch this record. Italy does not refer to their art as cartoons. Or treats this unfaithfully. 



Hebrews has been known for 2,000 years as the companion of Timothy, none other than Paul. Salt Papyrus 124 and others are no longer displayed, although their message is apparent. As intact as the above Papyrus. I do not regard the current negative remarks on centuries and millenniums old papyrus, or 500-year-old religious art, Renaissance art, to be knowledge and say despite the INCREDIBLE DELUGE of ARTIFACTS SUPPORTING BIBLICAL HISTORY, we are dealing more with new agenda than new knowledge.

Blah, blah blah on "new agenda 'knowledge'". Display Salt Papyrus 124 and never say cartoons regarding works of Michelangelo and Raphael and others.

What possible argument is the new date on the Papyrus everywhere?  
The Codex of the 2nd and 3rd Centuries. The Codex is not a new concept at all. The ancient manuscripts of historians and Roman Empire, as well as Sanhedrin papyrus (found in Scotland from the time of Jesus) is, and always has been, readily available. Not hidden papyrus within the last 500 years. The new debate is determining if the verb usage changed from Judea during a time period of even 50 years of Syria's suburb, Judea. It's a very improbable idea that 500 years later we can tell.

Historians do have areas of specialties, like which town in Italy during the Renaissance produced which lace according to the paintings. However, it hasn't flip-flopped like the Papyrus with incredible same changes as the artifacts lean to proving Biblical accuracy. The Louvre was siding with the ancient dates of many important, various Biblical items, until there was a massive retirement of the Head of the Louvre and, now, since the replacements of the retired Museum heads, we have the world experts calling Michelangelo's work 'Cartoons'. It smells of a baloney agenda. Sweeping the Biblical history Papyrus. And asks the question, if Salt Papyrus 124 is so unreliable in its pristine condition from 1200 B.C., why isn't it for sale for another museum to display, British Museum??? A G E N D A. Not facts. Agenda.  Narrative spin.  Not even the freedom of the people to see the works and have their own opinions. 2000 years of fact and then, voilà, a new interpretation. Bogus.


From the First Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D. we knew biblical facts of the Papyrus. Today, all the facts are changing in year 2020 era. I find this 'knowledge' as if, as if, as if, we could determine better today what happened to President Lincoln, than the presbyters who were eyewitnesses. Ridiculous pandering to intellectualism, who could not "know". Be brave. Acknowledge new attitudes are filled with agenda.


 

1 John 4:9

This is how God showed His love among us: 
He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him.






Matthew 22:23-29

The same day Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection, and they asked him a question, 24 saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies having no children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.’ 25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother.
 26 So too the second and third, down to the seventh. 
27 After them all, the woman died. 
28 In the resurrection, therefore, of the seven, 
whose wife will she be? For they all had her.”

29 But Jesus answered them, 
“You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures 
nor the power of God.





Stay on the Path of God

Ephesians 4

11 And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, 12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, 
for building up the body of Christ

Until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ

So that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, 
by craftiness in deceitful schemes. 

Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ

From whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint 
with which it is equipped, 
when each part is working properly, 
makes the body grow so that it builds itself 
up 
in love.



Psalm 33:11

The counsel of the Lord stands forever,
The plans of His Heart to All Generations.






Stay on the Path








Isaiah 40:28 

Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable.















Abba, our Father,

We ask for Your Blessings.
Dwell in us.
Dwell in those we love.
Help us to seek You first!

Thank You for the gift of Psalm 97 today.
The Lord reigns, let the earth rejoice
 To read of Your Glory.
 To be swept in Your Glory. Thank You.

Bless us in:

Living water of Jesus flow unendingly as Love. 
To be encouraged and helped as we do Your Willing Plan You do have for us all.

To know as Jesus spoke of Living Water and gave You a new Heaven and a new earth, we find Your Throne in Your Kingdom by walking beside the shining water leading to Your Home.

Flowing, filling, seeping in all areas of our heart and with all our soul
 and with all our mind, for ourselves and the ones we Love. 
Filling us.

For ourselves, the Nation and God's Good Creation -
Help us on Your Path, we ask Your help to stay on the Path. 
We ask Your Love to know the daily steps. 
And looking back on our lives, knowing we present our Soul to You.

The Blessings of Jesus healing us and holding us. 
His Good will and Healing be present in peace
for His Mercy. Love and answered prayer for Elliott, Dee and our prayers for Elliott. 


Blessings to know Jesus and Your Word. To be comforted by You. 

For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

Blessed in Jesus and His Name flow over our Nation and to the believers, today and tomorrow of the world.  To all of His Children all over His Good Creation.

Please give us Mercy!!!

Amen in Jesus.
Amen and Amen!

Psalm 78:40-72 ~ He shepherded them




Psalm 78:40-72




A maskil of Asaph

40 How often they rebelled against Him in the wilderness
    and grieved Him in the desert!
41 They tested God again and again
    and provoked the Holy One of Israel.
42 They did not remember His power
    or the day when He redeemed them from the foe,
43 when He performed His signs in Egypt
    and His marvels in the fields of Zoan.

44 He turned their rivers to blood,
    so that they could not drink of their streams.

45 He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them,
    and frogs, which destroyed them.

46 He gave their crops to the destroying locust
    and the fruit of their labor to the locust.

47 He destroyed their vines with hail
    and their sycamores with frost.
48 He gave over their cattle to the hail
    and their flocks to thunderbolts.
49 He let loose on them his burning anger,
    wrath, indignation, and distress,
    a company of destroying angels.

50 He made a path for his anger;
    he did not spare them from death,
    but gave their lives over to the plague.

51 He struck down every firstborn in Egypt,
    the firstfruits of their strength in the tents of Ham.

52 Then he led out his people like sheep
    and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

53 He led them in safety, so that they were not afraid,
    but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

54 And He brought them to His holy land,
    to the mountain which His right hand had won.
55 He drove out nations before them;
    He apportioned them for a possession
    and settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.

56 Yet they tested and rebelled against the Most High God
    and did not keep his testimonies,
57 but turned away and acted treacherously like their fathers;
    they twisted like a deceitful bow.
58 For they provoked him to anger with their high places;
    they moved him to jealousy with their idols.

59 When God heard, he was full of wrath,
    and he utterly rejected Israel.

60 He forsook his dwelling at Shiloh,
    the tent where he dwelt among mankind,
61 and delivered his power to captivity,
    his glory to the hand of the foe.

62 He gave his people over to the sword
    and vented his wrath on his heritage.

63 Fire devoured their young men,
    and their young women had no marriage song.
64 Their priests fell by the sword,
    and their widows made no lamentation.

65 Then the Lord awoke as from sleep,
    like a strong man shouting because of wine.
66 And He put His adversaries to rout;
    He put them to everlasting shame.

67 He rejected the tent of Joseph;
    he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim,
68 but he chose the tribe of Judah,
    Mount Zion, which he loves.

69 He built his sanctuary like the high heavens,
    like the earth, which he has founded forever.
70 He chose David his servant
    and took him from the sheepfolds;
71 from following the nursing ewes he brought him
    to shepherd Jacob his people,
    Israel his inheritance.
72 With upright heart he shepherded them
    and guided them with his skillful hand.




David didn't just believe. David Believed he was part of God's Plan just like an extension of the Exodus.


This explains so much of David's Life. David never seemed to color in the lines of God's Plan. David didn't obey the strict Law. David was more like Louis XIV, David was the State. David intended to Shepherd God's People. And just like Jesus ate Grain on the Sabbath walking in the fields, David was doing the same as Jesus.

And now we see, very clearly, why David's heart appealed so strongly to God.


Abba, Father God,

Dwell in us. Dwell in those we Love.
Fill the Nation with Your Holy Spirit.
Nourish the world in Jesus Christ

Help us to Seek You First.

Help us to soak in God's Grace as the Disciples did by the Beautiful Sea of Galilee. 
Bask in the Light, the Warmth of Jesus.

 The Miracle of Jesus feeding us with His Word. 
We want to be fed like the Multitudes fed by the Sea of Galilee. 

Praying glad, peace my mother-in-law entered into Memory Care
and she is adapting well. Sleeping well and entering into activities the next day.
She had said the house was too large for her and knew the time had happened and
was correct.

The Healing of Jesus for Elliott and his family during this time.
May Jesus give our families His Mercy, Love and Peace.

We are part of the Goodness of Jesus. 
We are all healed by Jesus. 
Help us with Love to Defend our Father God with Joy and the ability to speak of His Love.

And in Jesus Christ the Body of Christ without constraint - all say  Jesus be King of all. 
God of our souls. Our Shepherd Savior Jesus. 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. <><
