Psalm 104 ~ May the glory of the Lord endure forever

 
The Temple was Built For Jesus Christ the Lord


Psalm 104


1 Praise the Lord, my soul.



Lord my God, you are very great;
you are clothed with splendor and majesty.

2 The Lord wraps himself in light as with a garment;
he stretches out the heavens like a tent
3 and lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters.






He makes the clouds his chariot
and rides on the wings of the wind.
4 He makes winds his messengers,
flames of fire his servants.




5 He set the earth on its foundations;
it can never be moved.
6 You covered it with the watery depths as with a garment;
the waters stood above the mountains.





7 But at your rebuke the waters fled,
at the sound of your thunder they took to flight;
8 they flowed over the mountains,
they went down into the valleys,
to the place you assigned for them.




9 You set a boundary they cannot cross;
never again will they cover the earth.




10 He makes springs pour water into the ravines;
it flows between the mountains.
11 They give water to all the beasts of the field;
the wild donkeys quench their thirst.

12 The birds of the sky nest by the waters;
they sing among the branches.


13 He waters the mountains from his upper chambers;
the land is satisfied by the fruit of his work.

14 He makes grass grow for the cattle,
and plants for people to cultivate—
bringing forth food from the earth:
15 wine that gladdens human hearts,
oil to make their faces shine,
and bread that sustains their hearts.

16 The trees of the Lord are well watered,
the cedars of Lebanon that he planted.
17 There the birds make their nests;
the stork has its home in the junipers.
18 The high mountains belong to the wild goats;
the crags are a refuge for the hyrax.



19 He made the moon to mark the seasons,
and the sun knows when to go down.
20 You bring darkness, it becomes night,
and all the beasts of the forest prowl.
21 The lions roar for their prey
and seek their food from God.
22 The sun rises, and they steal away;
they return and lie down in their dens.
23 Then people go out to their work,
to their labor until evening.



 24 How many are your works, Lord!
In wisdom you made them all;
the earth is full of your creatures.
25 There is the sea, vast and spacious,
teeming with creatures beyond number—
living things both large and small.
26 There the ships go to and fro,
and Leviathan, which you formed to frolic there.






27 All creatures look to you
to give them their food at the proper time.
28 When you give it to them,
they gather it up;
when you open your hand,
they are satisfied with good things.
29 When you hide your face,
they are terrified;
when you take away their breath,
they die and return to the dust.
30 When you send your Spirit,
they are created,
and you renew the face of the ground.





31 May the glory of the Lord endure forever;
may the Lord rejoice in his works—
32 he who looks at the earth, and it trembles,
who touches the mountains, and they smoke.

33 I will sing to the Lord all my life;
I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
34 May my meditation be pleasing to him,
as I rejoice in the Lord.
35 But may sinners vanish from the earth
and the wicked be no more.

Praise the Lord, my soul!

Praise the Lord!













Jeremiah arrived to tear down or build up?



Jeremiah 1:1-10

1 The words of Jeremiah, the son of Hilkiah, one of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, 2 to whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. 3 It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, and until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the captivity of Jerusalem in the fifth month.


4 Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
and before you were born I consecrated you;
I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”




6 Then I said, “Ah, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, for I am only a youth.” 




But the Lord said to me,

“Do not say, ‘I am only a youth’;
for to all to whom I send you, you shall go,
and whatever I command you, you shall speak.
8 Do not be afraid of them,
for I am with you to deliver you,
declares the Lord.”

9 Then the Lord put out his hand and touched my mouth. And the Lord said to me,

“Behold, I have put my words in your mouth.
10 See, I have set you this day over nations and over kingdoms,
to pluck up and to break down,
to destroy and to overthrow,
to build and to plant.”







No one would have ever have taken up the career of Jeremiah willingly.
Except...God - is the foundation of Jeremiah.
A man of God with a desire to please Father God - a message of a hope and a future.

Abraham also believed God and went traveling far from all he knew. Without a computer, a map or even a compass. He just went forth into the Plan of God. Abraham became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith. God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared for them a Kingdom of Jesus.

Hebrews 11
Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. 2 For by it the people of old received their commendation. 3 By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.

32 And what more shall I say? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets— 33 who through faith conquered kingdoms, enforced justice, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, 34 quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, were made strong out of weakness, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight. 35 Women received back their dead by resurrection. Some were tortured, refusing to accept release, so that they might rise again to a better life. 36 Others suffered mocking and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. 37 They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were killed with the sword. They went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, afflicted, mistreated— 38 of whom the world was not worthy—wandering about in deserts and mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.

39 And all these, though commended through their faith, did not receive what was promised, 40 since 
God had provided something better for us, 
that apart from us 
they should not be made perfect.

Father God,
Nothing in this life could be greater that Salvation.
You would have us to live with us where You Live, Move and Have Your Being.

Nothing we could ever do or say could ever repay the Gift of Jesus.
You opened up Your arms to us. And made the Victory.
You are Unblemished, Holy, Completely Loving.
You are Love.

Apart from You, Father God - we will not be made perfect.
I have seen my Grandmother Elliott in Heaven and I understand Thee
to fill us with the fulfillment of You, God. You, as Father, have wiped every tear from their eyes. No more death, mourning. crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away. The dwelling place of mankind is with Father God.

My cup runneth over. Goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, as I will pray for my loved ones and the people You have given me all my days in Expectation of You. You have willingly answered to Glory what my Grandmother Anita prayed for and shown her faith which in turn fed the next generations. Thank You.  I bless You and Thank You Father. All of mankind will bow and call upon You in Faith, You have said.

Dwell within us Father God and we will see more Heaven and Your Good will done upon this earth. Amen in Jesus.

Matthew 13:34-35 ~ The foundation of the world




Matthew 13:34-35

34 All these things Jesus said to the crowds in parables; indeed, he said nothing to them without a parable. 35 This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet:

“I will open my mouth in parables;

I will utter what has been hidden since the foundation of the world.”




Luke 7

11 Soon afterward he went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a great crowd went with him.

12 As he drew near to the gate of the town, behold, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow, and a considerable crowd from the town was with her. 13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, “Do not weep.”

14 Then he came up and touched the bier, and the bearers stood still. And he said, “Young man, I say to you, arise.” 15 And the dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother.

16 Fear seized them all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and “God has visited his people!” 17 And this report about him spread through the whole of Judea and all the surrounding country.








What do people see as their Aspect of Jesus? Parables? Mystery?

Nain is highly over looked. A great crowd saw Jesus raise the young man from the dead in the town of Nain. Lazarus was a repeat. Andrew went and told Jesus in John's First Chapter - "Come See the Messiah!" Peter was told. First thing.

People have gone with what isn't Biblical for a long, long time... In Nain.



Jesus spoke in Parable to put forth A HUGE IDEA. He never jumped up on a rock and Screamed, "Messiah."

Instead, in front of huge crowd - Jesus raised a dead man being buried. A man who was going to be depended upon. Why? Good Question. This establishes Jesus is not just a stroll in the country to hear a Good Sermon. Jesus is declaring that Resurrection from the Dead, not seen since Elijah - another Biblical Prophecy - is very, very, very possible.

This the very early in the Gospel of Luke, 7th Chapter, who was written by Luke, who wrote The Acts of the Apostles and rather importantly here - Luke was a physician. Luke would know pretty well that raising the dead - is impossible. Did the Essenes writing the Dead Sea Scrolls know of this? I'd say - yes. 4Q52I and Q 7:22. The blind see. The deaf hear. The lame walk. The poor have good news preached. The dead are raised. The monastery of scribes did take in visitors.

Jesus spoke in parables. He certainly did. However His actions - spoke louder.

Is the Kingship of Jesus knowable? Therefore the Greatness of God's Son's Salvation!

1. “I came down from heaven”?’” (John 6:41,42)

2. “‘I tell you the truth,’ Jesus answered, ‘before Abraham was born, I am!’ (John 8:58)

3. Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.” (John 17:4,5)

4. The woman said, ‘I know that Messiah (called Christ) is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.’ Then Jesus declared, ‘I who speak to you am he.’” (John 4:25,26)

5. Tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.’ ‘Yes, it is as you say,’ Jesus replied.” (Matthew 26:63,64)

6. They all asked, ‘Are you then the Son of God?’ He replied, ‘You are right in saying I am.’” (Luke 22:67-70).

7. He said, “I am the Son of God.”’” (Matthew 27:42,43)

8. “And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, ‘Truly you are the Son of God.’” (Matthew 14:32,33)

9. Because I said, ‘I am God’s Son.’?” (John 10:36)

10 and 11. Then he warned his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Christ.” (Matthew 16:15,16,20; see also Mark 8:29,30)



Who else reports Jesus is the Son of God?
The Bible and witnesses of Jesus




The earthquake. NBC reports.
http://www.nbcnews.com/id/47555983/ns/technology_and_science-science/t/quake-reveals-day-jesus-crucifixion-researchers-believe/#.VPKnUC6gZpg

To analyze earthquake activity in the region, geologist Jefferson Williams of Supersonic Geophysical and colleagues Markus Schwab and Achim Brauer of the German Research Center for Geosciences studied three cores from the beach of the Ein Gedi Spa adjacent to the Dead Sea.

Varves, which are annual layers of deposition in the sediments, reveal that at least two major earthquakes affected the core: a widespread earthquake in 31 B.C. and a seismic event that happened sometime between the years 26 and 36.

The latter period occurred during “the years when Pontius Pilate was procurator of Judea and when the earthquake of the Gospel of Matthew is historically constrained,” Williams said.
Advertise

"The day and date of the crucifixion (Good Friday) are known with a fair degree of precision," he said. But the year has been in question.

In terms of textual clues to the date of the crucifixion, Williams quoted a Nature paper authored by Colin Humphreys and Graeme Waddington. Williams summarized their work as follows:

All four gospels and Tacitus in Annals (XV, 44) agree that the crucifixion occurred when Pontius Pilate was procurator of Judea from A.D. 26 to 36.
All four gospels say the crucifixion occurred on a Friday.
All four gospels agree that Jesus died a few hours before the beginning of the Jewish Sabbath (nightfall on a Friday).
The synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) indicate that Jesus died before nightfall on the 14th day of Nisan, right before the start of the Passover meal.
John’s gospel differs from the synoptics, apparently indicating that Jesus died before nightfall on the 15th day of Nisan.

When data about the Jewish calendar and astronomical calculations are factored in, a handful of possible dates result, with Friday, April 3, 33 A.D., being the best match, according to the researchers. 


 


Matthew 27:54

When the centurion and those who were with him, keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were filled with awe and said, “Truly this was the Son of God!


Father God, prepare us to tell of Your Sacrifice. Prepare us to speak of Your Love. Help hearts be open to You and to Your Love. We ask in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

James 3:13-18 ~ the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. 18 And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.



If you ask Bible believing people, what the Bible says about Wisdom, without a doubt the quote about asking God for Wisdom and receiving the Wisdom - will come first. First Chapter in the Book of James.

James 3:13-18
Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom. 14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. 15 This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. 16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. 17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. 18 And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

Which is interesting because these are the some of the characteristics of answered prayer and healing. Healing is rarely part of the Lightning Bolt of God from Declaration used by the Son of God. Not the name it and claim it of decades past. Instead, Pure Love. The empathy of the Father for the Prodigal Son. Believing the Will of God is good for us. Knowing the mystery of faith is the Power of God and His Will.

Where is another crucial passage on wisdom? The First Chapter of Luke's Gospel. A great message of Lent. Preparing for God to be truth and grace upon grace - living with us.

Luke 1 - John the Baptist - The wisdom of the just
For he will be great before the Lord. And he must not drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb. 16 And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God, 17 and he will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared.

The ن sounds like the word "noon" and stands for Nazarenes, an Arabic word for Christians.
God would agree; Nazarenes. This is the list of those preparing for Jesus to Live within us. And our response to want to create a soul where the Lord would want to dwell.

~ To be great before the Lord - perhaps someone consistently before Father God in Relationship and Expectation of His Goodness.
~ The disobedient learn the wisdom of the just.
~ Filled with the Holy Spirit.
~ Turning children to the Lord their God.
~ Not drinking wine and strong substance.

~ The Holy Spirit's Power in Elijah -
Elijah defended the worship of Yahweh over the god Baal (killing infants for prosperity -  horrible and works based); he raised the dead, brought fire down from the sky, and was taken up by a whirlwind. Elijah's prophesied of the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord. The Works of the Spirit are through faith  conquering kingdoms - enforcing justice, obtaining promises, stopping the mouths of lions, quenching the power of fire, escaping the edge of the sword, made strong out of weakness, mighty in war, putting foreign armies to flight.

Luke 12 says don't be anxious. The Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.

Please Jesus Christ the Lord, we call to You. Amen.

Luke 12:8-12 ~ the Holy Spirit will teach you





Luke 12:8-12


“And I tell you, everyone who acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man also will acknowledge before the angels of God, 9 but the one who denies me before men will be denied before the angels of God.

10 And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but the one who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

11 And when they bring you before the synagogues and the rulers and the authorities, do not be anxious about how you should defend yourself or what you should say, 12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.”




Psalm 100 

Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!
2 Serve the Lord with gladness!
Come into his presence with singing!

3 Know that the Lord, he is God!
It is he who made us, and not we ourselves;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
and his courts with praise!
Give thanks to him; bless his name!

5 For the Lord is good;
his steadfast love endures forever,
and his faithfulness to all generations.




We love to get the thoughts going about why we can't do - what we usually don't do.

I was once asked laughingly - never talk to the newcomers again at Church - they don't come back. This is Lent. Lend me your ears. Blessed are the ears that hear. Begin your Ambassadorship to Jesus again.

1. What Aspect of God do you like the best? 

Why did you pick your Church? Does your Church hold dear and fond memories pleasing to God?

Well, we all need to Worship God in His House every week. To be in Worship where you will be fed and encouraged and Loved by God. We recognize hunger pains - but what about Spiritual Hunger? Galatians 5.

One of the best ways to have appropriate response is to do what Winston Churchill famously did: Prepare Your Impromptu Responses.

You are more than likely either never to see the person again - or you will know them into  perpetuity. Get started.

Yes, Indeed. I do see the Passage about allowing the Holy Spirit to speak through His Promptings. Did you also see that is at the point of death? God does Not Mind if you do like the 70 Disciples, 2 were fired. Do your Ministry as two people who have prepared like a job interview - prepare and ask questions - then answer.

You can actually have fun with this. A tithe is time, talent and funding. Have fun. Create a talent for fun with time spent. Role play. You can be the busy mom. The bored teenager. The Grandmother who doesn't like the music. The Grandfather who says people in his day didn't wear shorts to Church. You can be the mom who desperately wants her husband to join. You can be the annoyed Denominational Repressed Spouse. You can be the Second Language Visitor. The intellectual. The way far out far to the left, Hippie.

The Gates of Heaven are always Open.
And there is a lot of Singing! And no one asks you if you like the music!

Enter His Gates with Praise!
The Fruit of the Spirit is Love.
A Blessing pouring fourth.

Malachi 3
Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.



Father God, You are Good. Let us see You in each other as the Light of Christ shines. Let us be generous in our expectations and talents we each are given. Let us be moderate and gracious with our words when the words still must be said.

Blessings upon the hearts allowing for human mistakes and feeling confident in the Upbuilding of God in each other. May God keep us on the Path He would have for us. Guide us in His Love, Mercy, Joy and Wisdom. We ask for ourselves and our loved ones His Direction and Protection.

May you, as a Child of the Most High God, be strengthened in your many kindnesses. In Your desire to see Good. To love. To be loved. To know you are High in His sight. To know the work of bringing up to the Lord, those around you, has been a dedication of  yours. And you are winning, see this in faith each day. To make mistakes and to recover. Is genuine. Let Love be genuine.

We ask for ourselves and our loved ones His Direction and Protection. Bring us Forth Daily the Renewal of our Spirits. Lord Jesus we Adore You. Amen.

Matthew 22:35-40 ~ Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul


We do not live by bread alone, but by every Word proceeding from the mouth of God.

Matthew 22:35-40
Jesus said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”

Notice with me, how are we going to Love God. 
Jesus told Peter, at their famous meeting after Death was destroyed - to Feed His Sheep. 
Mark 16 records Jesus saying - Go into The World. Preach the Gospel to - the whole creation.

Creation covers all of Genesis Chapter One. How we treat not just people - but the earth, resources, animals and the sky and mankind.

Bring salvation to Creation - do you think that by teaching others to care for their car, pet dog or cat, house, and being kind - that a narrow path might open? I do believe this is why God said really Give Good News to Creation.

Matthew 22  - Jesus said something very interesting. Love yourself. Love your neighbor. Why would Jesus choose to say neighbor and not Mankind? Every single version says 'neighbor'

God wants to save - The World. Through the redemption of Jesus Christ the Lord.

Father God tells us to love our neighbor.  Not Mankind.
Jesus could have easily said to us - 'save the world'. But He did not. 
Because Nothing You Could Ever Do Would Save You. 
Jesus - in Vast Love - Paid your price of Salvation.

Neighbor?

Luke 10
36 Which of these three, do you think, proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?” 37 He said, “The one who showed him mercy.” And Jesus said to him, “You go, and do likewise.”




Romans 8:26
In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.

God intercedes for us again.
Our part is made smaller, because we are not God.
Paul was guided by the Holy Spirit not to go various places.

Acts 16:7
When they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them to.




Primarily, God did not want His Job to overwhelm us. 
God said He would give us rest. 

We all are given talents and abilities.
God doesn't say that the person living and doing a job to feed his family - is not His Child or on His path. God is pleased when we seek to please God. The Body of Christ is diverse.





Jesus stood back and waited in firm expectation that people who Love. He waited on His own Brothers and His Disciples.


God is in charge of God's works. We are given a brain to discern God. And the people He gave us.




One of the best witnesses to Salvation was my late friend Randy Manti, Julie's husband. He had a smile and genuine Love for all the people he held the door open for at Church - from his wheelchair. Randy heard Edward and me in a fuss one Sunday about coolant for our air conditioner. Randi said - I have those tools come to my house. And once a year, Randi had us bring the liquid and he furnished the tools,  labor and even would rope a friend into coming with him.

Later, Gary Jenkins arranged a BBQ auction for a very ill Randy. And St. Luke's blessed Randy by canceling his high debt. Telling Randy they found his Christian attitude to his terrible pain - inspiring in their Christian Hospital. Saying they could see why Randy had people give him a BBQ.



So only Love our merciful neighbors?

Luke 6
27 “But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. 29 To one who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from one who takes away your cloak do not withhold your tunic either. 30 Give to everyone who begs from you, and from one who takes away your goods do not demand them back. 31 And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.

32 “If you love those who love you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. 34 And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount. 35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil. 36 Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.

Love isn't necessarily an emotion.
People get so tangled up - Romans 7 explains what people say might be so - but the reason they get up on a soapbox is sometimes not the most inspiring or good motivation - as they say what's good.

And? So what. Once you have discernment, give that to God. Let Him carry this.

We don't have to be well treated to be courteous.  Inner Joy at the Goodness of Others moves us forward.
We don't have to be loved to want someone to have Good News.
 And we don't have to mourn if someone doesn't just adore us. 
We can surely wish them all the good God would give them. 
God's storehouses are never empty.


Pray for your not so much fun, critical person. At the other extreme, pray for Isis to end - Like God Would Hear You.  Give them a blessing Prayer. A hater shown respect, then opportunity to love and have a fulfilling life. Then really go fast on and bless someone else even closer. End the negative waves. Donald Sutherland had that right - end the war.



God wants what is Good from your heart. When the figs didn't bloom in season, God surely expected Fruit. We can find good fruit to give to Jesus.

God went forth looking for people like the Roman Centurion - who had Faith. And Jesus moved there. Narrow path. Dwell there.



Balance

God gave us another reason why we want to be merciful and love the people who show us Mercy.

If we give and give and give to give Love - we never give the other person a chance to grow up. Find their feet. Giving Love is good for people.

God wants all of us to have fruit. That is why He said to Love Yourself.

All people want to give back. If they don't, discern that they are not showing you mercy.


What do I see in Father God? He is willing to let me grow up. He does not let go of me. He does not unjustly condemn me. He stands up for me. Eternally. He assures me daily He loves me. He covers me with His Name. He gives me a Clear Path Up. He calls me Home to live with Him eternally. If I petition Father God, earnestly - I know I have been heard. He gives me strength to make right choices. Father God loves me. And Loves me.



Balance

Being Effective for Jesus?
Love God. Find His aspect that melts your heart.
Explain to the ones you Love what is so Good in God.

Blessing others - brings a Blessing
Creating a Person who is Loving
Loving makes a Path Forward

On His Path, we find Love, Joy, Peace. 

In a figless season, God will feed us.
We can find what is Good when we Look
And Thank God. 


God's Heaven has 12 Open Gates. God is Love.
God intends us to Live with Him. 


Our Father, Who art in Heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name,
Thy Kingdom Come,
Thy Will be done,
on earth as it is in Heaven,
Give us this day,
Our daily Bread,
Forgive us our Sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into Temptation.
Deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the Kingdom, the Power and the Glory.
Forever and ever. Amen.

Jesus, we ask in You, 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. <><
