Leviticus 26 ~ The Lord







Leviticus 26


“You shall not make idols for yourselves or erect an image or pillar, and you shall not set up a figured stone in your land to bow down to it, for I am the Lord your God. 2 You shall keep my Sabbaths and reverence my sanctuary: I am the Lord.

3 “If you walk in my statutes and observe my commandments and do them, 4 then I will give you your rains in their season, and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. 


5 Your threshing shall last to the time of the grape harvest, and the grape harvest shall last to the time for sowing. And you shall eat your bread to the full and dwell in your land securely. 6 I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid. And I will remove harmful beasts from the land, and the sword shall not go through your land. 7 You shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword. 8 Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand, and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword. 

9 I will turn to you and make you fruitful and multiply you and will confirm my covenant with you. 10 You shall eat old store long kept, and you shall clear out the old to make way for the new. 11 I will make my dwelling among you, and my soul shall not abhor you. 

12 And I will walk among you and will be your God, and you shall be my people. 13 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that you should not be their slaves. And I have broken the bars of your yoke and made you walk erect.

14 “But if you will not listen to me and will not do all these commandments, 15 if you spurn my statutes, and if your soul abhors my rules, so that you will not do all my commandments, but break my covenant, 16 then I will do this to you: I will visit you with panic, with wasting disease and fever that consume the eyes and make the heart ache. And you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. 17 I will set my face against you, and you shall be struck down before your enemies. Those who hate you shall rule over you, and you shall flee when none pursues you. 18 And if in spite of this you will not listen to me, then I will discipline you again sevenfold for your sins, 19 and I will break the pride of your power, and I will make your heavens like iron and your earth like bronze. 20 And your strength shall be spent in vain, for your land shall not yield its increase, and the trees of the land shall not yield their fruit.

21 “Then if you walk contrary to me and will not listen to me, I will continue striking you, sevenfold for your sins. 22 And I will let loose the wild beasts against you, which shall bereave you of your children and destroy your livestock and make you few in number, so that your roads shall be deserted.

23 “And if by this discipline you are not turned to me but walk contrary to me, 24 then I also will walk contrary to you, and I myself will strike you sevenfold for your sins. 25 And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall execute vengeance for the covenant. And if you gather within your cities, I will send pestilence among you, and you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy. 26 When I break your supply of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in a single oven and shall dole out your bread again by weight, and you shall eat and not be satisfied.

27 “But if in spite of this you will not listen to me, but walk contrary to me, 28 then I will walk contrary to you in fury, and I myself will discipline you sevenfold for your sins. 29 You shall eat the flesh of your sons, and you shall eat the flesh of your daughters. 30 And I will destroy your high places and cut down your incense altars and cast your dead bodies upon the dead bodies of your idols, and my soul will abhor you. 31 And I will lay your cities waste and will make your sanctuaries desolate, and I will not smell your pleasing aromas. 32 And I myself will devastate the land, so that your enemies who settle in it shall be appalled at it. 33 And I will scatter you among the nations, and I will unsheathe the sword after you, and your land shall be a desolation, and your cities shall be a waste.

34 “Then the land shall enjoy its Sabbaths as long as it lies desolate, while you are in your enemies' land; then the land shall rest, and enjoy its Sabbaths. 35 As long as it lies desolate it shall have rest, the rest that it did not have on your Sabbaths when you were dwelling in it. 36 And as for those of you who are left, I will send faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies. The sound of a driven leaf shall put them to flight, and they shall flee as one flees from the sword, and they shall fall when none pursues. 37 They shall stumble over one another, as if to escape a sword, though none pursues. And you shall have no power to stand before your enemies. 38 And you shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up. 39 And those of you who are left shall rot away in your enemies' lands because of their iniquity, and also because of the iniquities of their fathers they shall rot away like them.

40 “But if they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers in their treachery that they committed against me, and also in walking contrary to me, 41 so that I walked contrary to them and brought them into the land of their enemies—if then their uncircumcised heart is humbled and they make amends for their iniquity, 42 then I will remember my covenant with Jacob, and I will remember my covenant with Isaac and my covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land. 43 But the land shall be abandoned by them and enjoy its Sabbaths while it lies desolate without them, and they shall make amends for their iniquity, because they spurned my rules and their soul abhorred my statutes. 44 Yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not spurn them, neither will I abhor them so as to destroy them utterly and break my covenant with them, for I am the Lord their God. 45 But I will for their sake remember the covenant with their forefathers, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God: I am the Lord.”

46 These are the statutes and rules and laws that the Lord made between himself and the people of Israel through Moses on Mount Sinai.





Oh... no... not Leviticus.


Yes, Leviticus. When John saw Heaven and wrote The Book of Revelation - this is yesterday, today and tomorrow. "I will walk among you and will be your God, and you shall be my people"


And how will we treat this chapter honestly?


Habakkuk 3

16 I heard and my inward parts trembled, At the sound my lips quivered. Decay enters my bones, And in my place I tremble. Because I must wait quietly for the day of distress, For the people to arise who will invade us. 


17 Though the fig tree should not blossom And there be no fruit on the vines, Though the yield of the olive should fail And the fields produce no food, Though the flock should be cut off from the fold And there be no cattle in the stalls, 18 Yet I will exult in the LORD, I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.


Habakkuk sees the opportunity of God in all circumstances.












The truth is this. Jesus was named after a man the world passes by. Joshua. Yeshua is honoring Joshua. Who waited 40 years knowing that his voice was unheeded to "Trust in the Lord" when Moses had the Philistines spied upon.

 We have to get to the bones of why we do what we do. For the glory of God. For Love.



We can say that the Lord bores us and not to read Leviticus.

1. Yet the Book of Job reports Leviticus to be true. Job kept holding up his own righteousness. The Bible tells us not to weary of doing good. But we all get weary. We have to renew in Jesus especially when the circumstances will wear you to a nub.

This is why we thank God and thank God and thank God for the opportunity to land on this side of the Resurrection of Jesus. We are the Easter People and we will get through Good Friday of Life. By remembering to thank GOD for the trials and the fleas and see the upside of all the tribulation life holds for us all.

2. Jesus and His Travels to Tyre and Sidon to probably see the Syrophoenician woman have humility. Humility. We need God, it's not that He needs us. We can all reach a time where we just don't have it in us to go on with cheer or even hope. And Jesus says, "Right, I know you are not that righteous. Yet like Aaron, I love you more than your downside, come to me - you who are weary, I will refresh you. " Eyes on Jesus - we will have the Holy Spirit and His comfort that there is hope.

3. David and Solomon agree - God gives both blessing and woe. Remember to look to Him.

4. Jesus tells the people not to judge the man born blind. And not to judge those eighteen who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them-- do you think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem?





Our efforts for Jesus?

If we look like we line up our ducks in a row for the camera - we surely 'look' ducky.













If we were to judge Habakkuk - this would give us some good conversation. But would we have used our talents Jesus wants? Jesus would be pleased with Habakkuk's soul.

And surely, we know all those who need our honesty and our compassion - because - we don't want them to fall - the fall is forever. We want them to be lifted to Jesus and His Love and Joy. The point of Christianity is to pray for those we wonder about - with Love.  Now the very soul and truth is this - Salvation is purely a work of the Lord. But do you really believe we should forget to pray for those who need His Love. If for nothing else, that our hearts do not grow cold as we act as God to people we love. Sometimes, I feel my prayer life being obligatory. But let me tell you - meet one of those days where you feel bone weary for God - and He rushes in to help - and suddenly - your prayer life will renew for the very joy that God will rush in. 

This God of ours is is is is is is is Living Water. Come Holy Spirit. We need you. 

Leviticus 26. Maybe the point is. Oh No. Leviticus. Says something.
 
It's disliked - Our Supreme God is involved in Blessing and Woe. YET - We seem to have a lot of cultural woe. Let's work past the woe to remember The Acts of the Apostles worked past 'WHOA" to be the blessing.

If the culture wants you to hush - speak up - give LOVE. 

Remembering God works past our own whoa's. With His Grace and Love. 









God takes sand. Mere Sand. And Heats sand; to become glass. To become Art. Beauty. Light. The Plan of God is to be held  Upwards - to God's Path for our Lives.




Father God,

Help us to be open hearted to all of Your Word and Circumstance. To have our hearts and sights set on adventure and flexibility. Forgiving of each other, our circumstances - to allow us to grow.

Help us to let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from us, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, rejoicing in our salvation for God in Christ forgave me.

Help us to find honesty not to excuse ourselves from being tender-hearted, but to bring forth truth to make the path straight. To Jesus.

Help us keep going forth - to be Love. Strengthen us - to meet the challenges. Help us when we do need to duck. Favor us with your Graciousness, when we need to say "I can't, I just can't". Help our Yes to be Yes of You. And not the desire to be super ego. Give us, please, more opportunities to be Yes and not the go into "No" as an unwise person.

Bless us with Your Favor, please God.





Jesus is You, Father. Perfection.  Jesus  fulfilling the Law.

Day after day we use our God given talents to stand to minister and to offer again and again the same sacrifices. Reminding each other what Jesus does - who takes away sins.

When we see Leviticus for so much education and trouble and mess - rejoice and remember many parts of life seem to have troubles and discord. And be glad in what Jesus takes from us. Wow Leviticus lists and lists what God has taken from us. Alleluia.


Let's remember 1 John 3, See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!


Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him. And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.

Let us be covered in the Name of Jesus and be brave to embrace, Yes, for Jesus.  To call upon Jesus to be forgiven for our weaknesses, flaws and sins. Going forth with God - forgiven.

Being wise to not embrace what is displeasing to God. Avoid what is foolish controversy - God says not to name what is harmful. Let us not gossip. Let what is important be spoken and what is able to wash away.

Let us do the good works God has put for us to walk in, letting God straighten paths.


Father God,  we want to walk with You. We lift our concerns to You.  Help the care-givers provide care, renew and open our eyes to what we need to do.  We need Your Help Father God. Our loved ones covered with Jesus. The comfort of the Holy Spirit. We cover in Jesus' name communities, Churches and Jesus honoring people. Lifting up the Nation to be covered in Jesus. Rejoicing in salvation for ourselves and all of His around the world.

Thank God for His ever present Hope of His Love. He is walking with us and we are His People. Blessed Jesus Thank God for giving us this Day. Alleluia in Jesus.

Titus 3:5 ~ He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness




I woke up with back, rear aching and headache tired today. I wasn't enjoyable. And I felt suddenly old. I barked at the dog. I even meowed. I fussed and fretted - mostly internally. Until it was external. No blood was shed, no one cried. I felt miserable. For all of the evening - what kind of soul host was I...



Titus 3:5


5 He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,


1Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work, 2to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people. 3For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. 4But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, 5he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, 6whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 8The saying is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful to devote themselves to good works. These things are excellent and profitable for people. 9But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels about the law, for they are unprofitable and worthless. 10 As for a person who stirs up division, after warning him once and then twice, have nothing more to do with him, 11knowing that such a person is warped and sinful; he is self-condemned.



John 3:5
Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.


Ephesians 2
But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ, even when we were dead in our trespasses. It is by grace you have been saved!



Abba, Father God,

I have not been the most pleasant soul to live with today. And I am sorry.

Please let Your Grace and Holy Spirit comfort my aching. And forgive my fussing.

Your Mercies Renew for us all each day.

Thank You for my blessings.

In Jesus. Amen.

Matthew 3:13-17 ~ "This is my beloved Son.”






If Father God was going to send the Disciples a Postcard about His Son - What would He say?


Matthew 3:13-17


13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him. 14 John would have prevented him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”

15 But Jesus answered him, “Let it be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.”

Then he consented. 16 And when Jesus was baptized, immediately he went up from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on him; 17 and behold, a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”






Suppose someone asked you, "What kind of Father is God?"




If God had one thing to tell Jesus' friends about Jesus...




This would be something Jesus would enjoy from His Father.












God did not say, "I hope you won't mess it up."

"Best of Luck."











Hebrews 1:3 

The Son is the radiance of God's glory 
and the exact representation of his being, 
sustaining all things by his powerful word. 

After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.



With Jesus, by Jesus and in Jesus we can say, "Father God - Jesus for us all - always. Amen"

Acts 11:1-18 ~ received the Word of God








<

Acts 11:1-18



11 Now the apostles and the brothers and sisters who were throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.

2 So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcision party criticized him, saying, 3 “You went to uncircumcised men and ate with them.” 4 But Peter began and explained it to them in order: 5 “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision, something like a great sheet descending, being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came down to me. 6 Looking at it closely, I observed animals and beasts of prey and reptiles and birds of the air. 7 And I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter; kill and eat.’

8 But I said, ‘By no means, Lord; for nothing common or unclean has ever entered my mouth.’

9 But the voice answered a second time from heaven, ‘What God has made clean, do not call common.’ 10 This happened three times, and all was drawn up again into heaven.

11 And behold, at that very moment three men arrived at the house in which we were, sent to me from Caesarea. 


12 And the Spirit told me to go with them, making no distinction. 

These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered the man's house.

13 And he told us how he had seen the angel stand in his house and say, ‘Send to Joppa and bring Simon who is called Peter; 14 he will declare to you a message by which you will be saved, you and all your household.’

15 As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them just as on us at the beginning. 16 And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’

17 If then God gave the same gift to them as he gave to us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could stand in God's way?”

18 When they heard these things they fell silent. 

And they glorified God, saying, “Then to the Gentiles also God has granted repentance that leads to life.”





We went on the Original Dolphin Watch for South Padre Island today. Nothing puts your life in greater emphasis for size than to grasp the size of the ocean or to be right next to a huge Go-To-Ocean-Sized-Ship. The dolphins, up to 15 of them, rode the bow of the ship. It's the dolphin version of surfing. Usually, we had a set of perfectly paired teenager dolphins. And when the Larger Adult Dolphins joined in occasionally, then all the younger dolphins were so enthused as to begin to leap perfectly and play - joining in.

The Vastness of God.

The risk of faith.

Peter risked alienating the Jews. Peter risked his life near the Temple.

The three men were risking their lives.

The incredible vision risked the new Christian way. Just as the 72 disciples turned back from Jesus Himself when Jesus explained the future of Communion. The 72 Disciples were horrified at the idea of eating a body and drinking blood.




It's difficult for us to imagine how threatening the times were for these men. Did they understand how much they were changing the world and the faithful? We toss this out as the Book of Acts. How terrifying it would have been to have been part of the New Heaven and new earth Jesus understood to be happening.

Father God sent visions, angels, light for the path. How Lovely. The faithful believe this to be true. Ok, yes - this is true. God was holding the hand of these men.

Coincidence. Guidance. Help. Comfort. The mannerism of the Holy Spirit - sending His comfort for His Way. John 21. If we knew all the ways God supported Jesus in His ministry - the books of the world - would not be able to count all of the Help God our Father gave Jesus.




We all want to be part of God's Wonders. I know I do - every day. Probably as each of these men passed on - Hebrews 11 would agree - these men had an idea their lives had been part of a Godly blessing. And no idea how their lives and the Actions of God would be understood on the earth for millenniums.




St. Augustine gave such comfort. He told us our lives are small. We will care for the people God has given us. Yet, in being diligent in tired evenings, in evenings where we are worn out, when we feel feverish. In communicating with patience. When we don't put up with bad behavior in the idea of correction and righteousness - to make the path more for God earnestly - we are making a way for the generations yet unborn.

Just as Billy Graham stood in football stadiums - turning out the lights and demonstrating an entire huge football stadium can see one candle. When we are pulling for Jesus. When we want our people to have Jesus - we are doing something we have no idea what God could do with our small lives.





With God all things are possible. A day spent pleasing God - can bless our family for generations. Even in realizing we are quite small and God is Magnificent.





Abba, Our Father,

We ask You for Your Blessing. Your Spirit gives Life. You are able to do far more than we could ask or imagine.

Guide us to be on Your Path. In Your Love, we will be Taught and Strengthened. The Will of God is Hope and Future.

For us, for our loved ones, for the people You have given us.

Matthew 19:26
But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Revelation 1:8
“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

Ephesians 6:10
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.

Psalm 147:5
Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; his understanding is beyond measure.

Revelation 4:8
And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and within, and day and night they never cease to say, “Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!”

Ephesians 3:20
Now to him
who is able to do far more abundantly
than all that we ask
or think,
according to the power at work within us


1 Corinthians 6:14 ESV / 5 helpful votes
And God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power.


In our God, we will be blessed to Trust. Amen in Jesus Christ.

Matthew 9:35-10:1 ~ Heal every disease and every affliction



Matthew 9:35-10:1


Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. 38 Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”

10 And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every affliction




Father God says we all have good works created for our gifts and talents.

Let's think on being Very Effective for Jesus Christ and having His blessings. Letting God be God and seeing His Plan, His work, His miracle.







EXPECT JESUS

Jesus Himself joins us in prayer and prays with us: Hebrews 13:21
May he equip you with all you need for doing his will. May he produce in you, through the power of Jesus Christ, every good thing that is pleasing to him. All glory to him forever and ever! Amen.
'
Life is a lot like the Movies "The Matrix" collides with "Mame".
There Is No Spoon and Life Is a Banquet.
Opening our mind to new things.

The 12 Gates of Heaven are Open - God has those Gates open for us.

How will we prosper in Father God?

If we are bringing forth the Son of God -

WE WILL BELIEVE GOD IN FAITH.

We will bring Words of Sincere Life.

Are we sincere encouragers?
Paul writes again and again and again and again and again of how much he loves his flock.

Ripe for prayer? The Early Church swept in. SWEPT IN LIKE A WIND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. Prayer was Needed! We are ready to Pray. Offer up, "I will be praying for you."





Indications the Kingdom of God is at hand:


James 5:16
The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.


Isaiah 35:5
Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall hear.


Look through the Leaves to See ~  the Good Fruit of Others.

Jesus is Proclaiming - Loudly - Pray It Like You Mean It!!!











GRATITUDE - when we get together and pray - we are so privileged and grateful
participate in a room where God has placed us - The Kingdom of Heaven - the always open and His Throne - is - at hand.

A GRATEFUL SPIRIT TOWARDS GOD AND HIS ACTIVE PLAN IN OUR LIVES.
GOD IS A SOVEREIGN AND LIVING, GOOD GOD.

How will we look at God's Word and Effectively
Apply what we read to our specific lives, our specific path and draw all we need for the Fruit of God to bloom and grow and create Joy, Peace, Love, Patience, Goodness?

How to apply this? How will we listen to the Sermons, the small groups and draw the Goodness of God into all of our lives?

Ask the Lord to do something more than we could do or even think to ask for. God is the one who is the Spirit Who Gives Life.

We must do something Jesus told us about.

Not memorize the Scripture for our 'knowledge' - to be in God's Word to understand who God is and His attitudes and His work in Your Specific Life. God fills the Universe - The Holy Spirit IS A COMFORTER.

Satan will accuse us of our failures and leave us there.

Jesus is Father God running to you - as you get on His Path. Jesus is the Encourager. Jesus is the Strengthener. Jesus is the Builder. Jesus is the Goodness of God made manifest. Jesus is even indignant when we ask Him, "Are you willing?" Jesus replies, Kindly, Strongly, Affirmatively in indignation, "I AM WILLING."






Father God willingly has so much HE Desires and Delights to show us, but we must be willing to look into his Word with open eyes. The goodness forming - good news a hope and a future.





Ask the right questions for your life and your circumstance. Ask until the Road to Emmaus "your heart is warmed" by Scripture.

God has not lost your address -  Stay in the facts of God's Word given. This is the PATH and the Nature of God Himself.

Once you have full Understanding to the Height, width, broadness of God's Love - The deeper you dig, the more gold you’ll find. The Truth Will Set You Free in God's Meaningful Word. Read the Word of God - google phrases.

****** Write down your important observations. This is your heart to Father God and His answers.







ALWAYS ASK GOD FOR HELP FROM THE PEOPLE HE HAS GIVEN YOU.


Talk It Over - where you share life. With Godly, Godly, Godly people.

PRAY!

Eat together, bless the time and the people given. Give thanks! Nurture one another.

CONTINUE TO MEET TOGETHER.
THIS ONE IS ONLY HEALED WITH CONTINUED PRAYER.

Deal gently, generously, kindly together.


Ask the simple questions, always ask the simple questions. Start there.


1 Now ask why this interests you.


2 What do you feel? Ask Father God to help you. Feelings are ALL OVER THE BIBLE. This is the Go To In Honesty Place.

3 OK we know what Jesus did and how He RESPONDS.

4 How does this fit into Today. What possible event in the Bible Relates? The Bible is COMPLICATED and Messy and Helps us to find real life application.

5 How would you explain your answer to a non-Christian friend or neighbor? Always be willing to show others the goodness God sees in them. The delight God would have in the person - the sincere goodness and Joy, Love and Peace.

6  Start an argument? Discuss freely. This is Truth. Agreeing with each other, and with every word can be pretty boring. In real earnest agreement - well then - WE DELIGHT TOGETHER IN THE NAME OF JESUS. Do you really agree? Why? If we Confront Our Disbelief - We Grow.
We are too ready to conform and be polite - GIVE WITNESS TO THIS AND FIND THE ANSWERS.

7 Make sure the rubber hits the road. Effective Growth. Involves works that are good.

8 Encourage each other in Father God.














Love,  Joy, Peace, Patience.

How will we effectively see our prayers answered?

1. Expect Jesus.

2. Gratitude.

3. His Kingdom is truly at hand, you have Your Father's attention. This Scriptural Power says you have His blessings to bring more Heaven to earth - to your life. Jesus is answering prayers as God.

4. Believing all good and needed gifts are from Father God and He will continue to provide.
 In His Plan. Examine life to see His Goodness.

5. Being completely honest with God in our areas - we are not good in. Sin. Flaws.

6. And in dealing with others, agree that sometimes after forgiveness  - do not to live rent free in our lives, thoughts and troubles - give cheek to forgive, understand, move forward with a laugh with compassion and/or walk away. Remind yourself - this is a child of Father God's.(Compassion for Father God!) Let Go. Let God.

7. Temptation - circumstance, and in today's world - taking the Word of God to bring you Up, not to comfort you in being stagnant.

8. Protection and in Wisdom - Going where Jesus would go - in safety.

9. The purpose of Study of God's Word and Prayer - is His Glory and His Kingdom - where we dwell in Joy! Because our Father delights. He Delights. In Giving us - His Kingdom.

10. Saying the name of this Love - with Joy - Jesus the Lord.
Jesus The Lord.
Jesus The Lord !!!




Father God, In Jesus the LORD, 
We would delight in Your Good Will and Plan.

We pray for the ones we love AND the people You have giving us - for this Love. For this Nation and the World. 


Help us when we have God Opportunities - to see You. We ask You to guide, bless and protect us in each day. We will see Jesus working.


We lift up the Texas beaches and for Texas and dependable rain and water prayers - Padre Island and Texas beaches near Corpus Christi.  We ask Father God to send rain and a swift new current of clear water.  We ask health for the fish and the water and people depending on the tourism and fish for a living. 



Thank You We are Your Children Father God.

AMEN IN JESUS!!!

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. <><
