Genesis 17:15-27 ~ God ascended

Hebrews 11:9 

By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise.

Genesis 17:15-27

15 And God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name. 16 I will bless her, and moreover, I will give you a son by her. I will bless her, and she shall become nations; kings of peoples shall come from her.” 17 Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed and said to himself, “Shall a child be born to a man who is a hundred years old? Shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?” 18 And Abraham said to God, “Oh that Ishmael might live before you!” 19 God said, “No, but Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his offspring after him. 20 As for Ishmael, I have heard you; behold, I have blessed him and will make him fruitful and multiply him greatly. He shall father twelve princes, and I will make him into a great nation. 21 But I will establish my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you at this time next year.”

22 When he had finished talking with him, God went up from Abraham.

23 Then Abraham took Ishmael his son and all those born in his house or bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's house, and he circumcised the flesh of their foreskins that very day, as God had said to him. 24 Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. 25 And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. 26 That very day Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised. 27 And all the men of his house, those born in the house and those bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.

How will we describe God and Abraham?

Galatians 3:6
Consider Abraham: "He believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.

~ 17 Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed and said to himself, “Shall a child be born to a man who is a hundred years old? Shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?”

God is not shaken about one falling down laughing episode. Even if Abraham could hear the Lord God Almighty, Himself.

The Lord God Almighty is intent upon His Purpose. Telling us all have fallen and He works with the world to be saved in Jesus Christ.

Genesis 15:4
Then the word of the LORD came to him: "This man will not be your heir, but a son coming from your own body will be your heir." 5 He took him outside and said, "Look up at the heavens and count the stars—if indeed you can count them." Then he said to him, "So shall your offspring be."

6 Abram believed the LORD, and he credited it to him as righteousness.

7 He also said to him, "I am the LORD, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to take possession of it."

8 But Abram said, "O Sovereign LORD, how can I know that I will gain possession of it?"

We saw a glimpse of faith and then... questioning. This could only be the Steadfast, Loving nature of God, I'd have found another person of bigger faith, immediately. This is indeed the same God, the one who picked up the deserter, Peter, out of the Sea of Galilee. Another one of the faithful, who thought he could walk on water.

So in Genesis 12, we meet Abram. He hears the Lord say:

1 The LORD had said to Abram, "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you. 2 "I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you;

What does Abram do?
4 So Abram left, as the LORD had told him

Genesis 13: God tells Abram to walk the length and the breadth of the land. Abram uses the opportunity to pick where he will settle.

Genesis 14: Abram gets busy rescuing his nephew and turns down riches from the local king, because he will depend on what God told him. God would give Abram the land.

Genesis 15: Abram is told as a young man, he will have a son & God gives Abram a sign to remember His Covenant. This sign is a gift to Abram.

Genesis 16: Abram & Sarai interpret what God said & act on their own. Disaster for Saria, leads to marital disharmony, human mistreatment, Hagar  is terribly unhappy. God intervenes to let Hagar know she is important to Him as well.

Genesis 17: God tells Abram the Covenant now involves cutting his adult penis. (Very serious commitment.)

"As for you, you must keep my covenant, you and your descendants after you for the generations to come. 10 This is my covenant with you and your descendants after you, the covenant you are to keep: Every male among you shall be circumcised. 11 You are to undergo circumcision, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and you.

How seriously does Abraham take this forgiveness, with the blessing and now the sign required of him?

23 On that very day Abraham took his son Ishmael and all those born in his household or bought with his money, every male in his household, and circumcised them, as God told him. 24 Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised, 25 and his son Ishmael was thirteen; 26 Abraham and his son Ishmael were both circumcised on that same day. 27 And every male in Abraham's household, including those born in his household or bought from a foreigner, was circumcised with him.


Genesis 18:13-15
13 Then the LORD said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh and say, 'Will I really have a child, now that I am old?' 14 Is anything too hard for the LORD ? I will return to you at the appointed time next year and Sarah will have a son."

15 Sarah was afraid, so she lied and said, "I did not laugh."

But he said, "Yes, you did laugh."

Genesis 21

1 Now the LORD was gracious to Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did for Sarah what he had promised. 2 Sarah became pregnant and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised him. 3 Abraham gave the name Isaac (laughter) to the son Sarah bore him. 4 When his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him, as God commanded him. 5 Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.

6 Sarah said, "God has brought me laughter, and everyone who hears about this will laugh with me." 7 And she added, "Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age."

God could have chosen Noah to bless. God could have chosen Adam. But the Lord God Almighty said to Abraham and to us:


Genesis 12
 and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.

Abba,

What we want to the Love Jesus has given for ourselves, for our Loved ones, the people You have given us. For our Churches, communities, county, state, Nation, the world asking for You and Your Love and Mercy.

We want to see more Heaven on earth increase to Your Glory.

We want to see more miracles of healing. Knowing You fulfill Laughter and Joy.

Making the daily journey of Life - meaningful - creating a path for the Light of the World - Jesus. And with Your help - in the name of Jesus, we will.

Amen in Jesus, Light of mankind. Amen.

Colossians 1 ~ Him we proclaim

Colossians 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

2 To the saints and faithful brothers in Christ at Colossae:

Grace to you and peace from God our Father.

3 We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, 4 since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love that you have for all the saints, 5 because of the hope laid up for you in heaven. 

Of this you have heard before in the word of the truth, the gospel, 6 which has come to you, as indeed in the whole world it is bearing fruit and increasing—as it also does among you, since the day you heard it and understood the grace of God in truth, 7 just as you learned it from Epaphras our beloved fellow servant.

He is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf 8 and has made known to us your love in the Spirit.

9 And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, 10 so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him: bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11 being strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy; 12 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. 13 He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16 For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. 

17 And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 

18 And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. 

19 For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.

21 And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, 22 he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him, 23 if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister.

24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church, 25 of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God that was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known, 26 the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now revealed to his saints. 

27 To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. 28 Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ. 29 For this I toil, struggling with all his energy that he powerfully works within me.



Isn't that a great photo? It's not Colossae, Turkey. (Ephesus - is the photo.) Because Colossae is not really interested in having archaeological studies done.

Suffering. People are not for suffering. People are not really interested in signing up for suffering.

It's not really a good sales pitch. People worry that the 10 Disciples died horribly and this is the path we have chosen. People worry being Christian is speaking up and pointing a finger with wicked backlash.

Why did these dusty roads have the long robed types heading out to point more fingers and make arrows fly, crosses, beheadings and shipwrecks with imprisonment as the Pension and Benefits?

We have seen Notre Dame burn. And we will live to see France stand to build Notre Dame again. We saw the faithful take to the streets to sing for the beauty and Love creating this centuries old Cathedral and centuries to refine the building, 1163–1345 A.D., as well. The world and the reflection of Jesus Christ in mankind, want Notre Dame to rise.

Jesus is the exact representation of His Father. Entrusted. Elevated. The Old Testament calls Jesus His Fathers "Delight."

The Loss of Notre Dame is a new and raw scar. The reverse was happening in the world on fire to learn more about Jesus who frightens the Emperor of Rome and the miracles the happened and happened and happened. Slaves were considered human. Written of in Philippians. Women join Jesus in ministry and are allowed to talk to Jesus as if they matter. Widows receive their sons back from the dead instead of being impoverished and disregarded.

Ian Wilson writes in Jesus: The Evidence of the letter available today, Ian Wilson records a letter from a Jewish rabbi, of Lyracanthra, saying it would be the end of Judaism because of the incredible miracles of healing, restoration, life transformation and complete hope. These are letters confirming the Gospels show the Rabbi to be extremely unhappy. Josephus, the Israeli General turned traitor, turned Historian says Jesus was the Christ and his brother James formed the later Christian Church until martyred in 62 AD. Incredible. Jews believed the miracles that would not cease even when the Disciples were without Jesus - would end the Temple for everyone calling on Jesus Christ.

Colossians 1 from 90 to 120 A.D. Held by the University of Michigan

What was going on all over the Mediterranean to make these Christians Love Jesus?

Make the word of God fully known,  the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now revealed to his saints.

He is the image of the invisible God

The Word of Truth.

in everything Jesus is preeminent.

Proverbs 8 does not just tell us Jesus is His Father's "Delight." Proverbes 8 tells us God's Son is Delighted with the Master Workmanship of God's Magnificence. Now this trails along into words merely becoming poet and grand. Jesus is saying as God's Son - Jesus is going to do everything God His Father can do. Will do. Wants to do. Jesus is thrilled to be God's Representative. Jesus is going to - walk on water.

Jesus takes men who are blind and they see. This is the letter of the Rabbi of Lyracantha. This is the discovery of John living on Patmos - of his first disciple (John's own disciples):

 AD 110  by Polycarp. Polycarp was a disciple of the beloved disciple John while he was an inhabitant of the Island of Patmos.

Bishop Papias evidence alone is compelling. Bishop Papias went to Judea to speak to those healed by Jesus during the first century.  But a chronology of the generations John to Polycarp, then Irenaeus - his is the  letter displayed below. Irenaeus  was the Bishop of Lugdunum in Gaul. The three bishops succinctly form a historical chain. 

Abba, Our Father, Our Father, Our Father,

Jesus is the Fullness You have Given Your Son. Jesus represents the Willingness of You to hear and Love and heal and be with us to strengthen us in difficult times. Like Paul in what is believed to be his hurt and arthritic knees - unwilling to be still.

Father we delight to ask You in the Name of Jesus for more Heaven on this earth. Your Good Will.

The First Century world was knocked to their knees, the gods had been indifferent. Our Father God would heal today. Give today. Listen today. Not based upon our ability to point fingers, but upon the Goodness of God of Love, God of Encouragement for You to encourage and strengthen. Amazing Acts of God.

The Astonishing Son of God said we are invited to ask You for what we need and want asking more Heaven on earth. For Families, for Marriages. For the future to look promising. For Cancer to leave those we love. For healing for small children and doctors who gave comfort. To do the work of believing, to look for the solutions God provides and ask with FAITH.

You are the God of Your Word and Promises. God of Love. We will dwell securely knowing You provide for us and are the Light of the world and the Light of mankind.

You are God. Life. God is for Living.

We thank You in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

Acts 22 ~ Father's

Acts 22

“Brothers and fathers, hear the defense that I now make before you.”

2 And when they heard that he was addressing them in the Hebrew language, they became even more quiet. And he said:

3 “I am a Jew, born in Tarsus in Cilicia, but brought up in this city, educated at the feet of Gamaliel according to the strict manner of the law of our fathers, being zealous for God as all of you are this day.

4 I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and delivering to prison both men and women, 5 as the high priest and the whole council of elders can bear me witness. From them I received letters to the brothers, and I journeyed toward Damascus to take those also who were there and bring them in bonds to Jerusalem to be punished.

6 “As I was on my way and drew near to Damascus, about noon a great light from heaven suddenly shone around me. 7 And I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’

8 And I answered, ‘Who are you, Lord?’

And he said to me, ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting.’

9 Now those who were with me saw the light but did not understand the voice of the one who was speaking to me.

10 And I said, ‘What shall I do, Lord?’

And the Lord said to me, ‘Rise, and go into Damascus, and there you will be told all that is appointed for you to do.’

11 And since I could not see because of the brightness of that light, I was led by the hand by those who were with me, and came into Damascus.

12 “And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, well spoken of by all the Jews who lived there, 13 came to me, and standing by me said to me, ‘Brother Saul, receive your sight.’ And at that very hour I received my sight and saw him.

14 And he said, ‘The God of our fathers appointed you to know his will, to see the Righteous One and to hear a voice from his mouth; 15 for you will be a witness for him to everyone of what you have seen and heard. 16 And now why do you wait? Rise and be baptized and wash away your sins, calling on his name.’

17 “When I had returned to Jerusalem and was praying in the temple, I fell into a trance 18 and saw him saying to me, ‘Make haste and get out of Jerusalem quickly, because they will not accept your testimony about me.’

19 And I said, ‘Lord, they themselves know that in one synagogue after another I imprisoned and beat those who believed in you. 20 And when the blood of Stephen your witness was being shed, I myself was standing by and approving and watching over the garments of those who killed him.’

21 And he said to me, ‘Go, for I will send you far away to the Gentiles.’”

22 Up to this word they listened to him. Then they raised their voices and said, “Away with such a fellow from the earth! For he should not be allowed to live.” 23 And as they were shouting and throwing off their cloaks and flinging dust into the air, 24 the tribune ordered him to be brought into the barracks, saying that he should be examined by flogging, to find out why they were shouting against him like this.

25 But when they had stretched him out for the whips, Paul said to the centurion who was standing by, “Is it lawful for you to flog a man who is a Roman citizen and uncondemned?”

26 When the centurion heard this, he went to the tribune and said to him, “What are you about to do? For this man is a Roman citizen.”

27 So the tribune came and said to him, “Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?”

And he said, “Yes.”

28 The tribune answered, “I bought this citizenship for a large sum.”

Paul said, “But I am a citizen by birth.” 29 So those who were about to examine him withdrew from him immediately, and the tribune also was afraid, for he realized that Paul was a Roman citizen and that he had bound him.

30 But on the next day, desiring to know the real reason why he was being accused by the Jews, he unbound him and commanded the chief priests and all the council to meet, and he brought Paul down and set him before them.

Don't we all listen much better when someone is speaking our language. Paul has a can do attitude.

Paul was not rigid and uptight. He understood with a heart of love for his listeners. His message was Jesus as Love. Not their plans. God's.

We wonder if God would come after us with this Fatherly devotion. The Scriptures are written for you, telling you God is for you. God's Love is for you. You are God's Beloved Child. He knows your days and He has given you your name. God's Love is for you.

Isaiah 40:26

Lift up your eyes on high and see: who created these? He who brings out their host by number, calling them all by name, by the greatness of his might, and because he is strong in power not one is missing.

Father God,

May Your Words and Word be shown to your people, Your splendor to our children.

May Your willing blessings and favor rest on us; establish the work of our hands for You — yes, establish the work of our hands.

Help us do Your Will with joy and verve. We ask this for ourselves and our loved ones. Help our Church, co-workers, friends and Nation to joyfully serve and please Jesus. 

Rejoicing in this Nation trusts in God. And the Nations are filled with God's Children asking, "More Heaven on earth."

Let Heaven be the healing of our dear friend. One of the Greatest of all of Jesus' beloved.

Amen covered in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

Genesis One - God said it is Good

The Scriptures describe Creation of mankind above

and the Creation of the earth and the fullness thereof beginning as the photo shows.

Genesis One

1. Genesis 1:4
God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.


2.Genesis 1:10
God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.

3. Genesis 1:12
The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.

4. Genesis 1:17-18
And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good.

5.Genesis 1:21
So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

6. Genesis 1:25
God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.

7. Genesis 1:31
God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.

8.Genesis 2:9
The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food.

9. Genesis 2:11-12
The name of the first river is the Pishon. It is flowing around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12 And the gold of that land is good;  dellium and onyx stone are there.

When the day is new, we begin looking as God's Mercies renew each day. We pray a very beneficial way, starting our day in "Give us this Day" attitude.


Our Father,

Your child knows, those who love God live all things work together for good,
and for those who work for Your purpose.

Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow Your Word Lives.

We say for this life:

1 You have told us, it is good.
2 It is good
3 It is good
4 It is good
5 It is good
6 It is good
7 It is good
8 It is good
9 It is good

You are God saving the world through Jesus Christ.

You are my Father God of love and encouragement and hope.

Bless those who earnestly call on You and want Your Help. Bless our dear friend with Your Healing.

And with Your love, we want to Live!
Filling the Ones we Love with Your Love.
Rising to the Nations trusting in You.
Your children around Your good creation asking for more Heaven on earth.

In Jesus Christ,
Amen.

Job 27:3 ~ The Spirit of God

Happy Father's Day Week!

We can trace Genesis today. In each of us. Moses knew something more profound, as profound as Solomon expressed of Jesus being part of Creation in Proverbs 8 and told of the circles of the deep mankind had not seen by aerial view. Amazing. Moses, in the Holy Spirit, knew something profound we can point to in Adam and Eve.

Leviticus 17:14

For the life of all flesh is its blood.

We can find our common Ancestor is Eve and she is from Africa. Our blood tells of Creation. A Work of God.

The image of the Cloud is heart filling - a baby is born and held closely to the face of the Parent.

Genesis 2:7

Then the LORD God formed 
the man of dust from the ground 

and breathed into his nostrils 
the breath of life, 

and the man became a living creature.

Job had the gumption, grit and fire to continue in God's Plan. Job believed (he lived at the same time as Jacob) the purpose of life is Good. God is Good. God's Plan is Good. In spite of all adversity, Job believed God had something for Job personally.

Job 27:3

“The Spirit, breath, of God is in my nostrils.”

A profound message of God is not departing. God is Steadfast. Job believed in breathing. All else around him failed, and Job believed in breathing. I'm not sure this is applied in Scripture any other place. Today I met a woman, of distinction, who has become a widow, does not presently have siblings, nor nieces or nephews. She is bravely self described as an orphan in the world. She has met change in life. The reason we met is - her prayer life. She was there to pray for an 8 year old boy who was hurt very badly by an aquarium in school breaking. His arm is in peril. Pray for this little boy - in school - 8 years old to keep his arm. We believe prayer and the willingness to do the work of faith in the One God has sent - Jesus Christ - will save his arm.

We also are praying for a 60 year old Physician who has been admitted to a Dementia Unit. We pray God will continue this work of His - to use the doctor's mind and talents by God giving miraculous healing. And for my neighbor as well. Who has Multiple Sclerosis and, because he is a brain surgeon, has inside knowledge what his own brain looks like. Blessed to have a caretaker, a beloved son and wife.


Breathing. Parenting. Loving. God of Encouragement - God is our Coach. God of Love. To Love is to Live.

We wonder what happened to Joseph - Picked by God the Almighty to parent the most amazing of children - Jesus Christ.

We cannot possibly find it coincidental, we have an idea of Joseph's Life. His entire Life.

Luke 2

Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother: “This child is destined to cause the falling and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against, 35 so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your own soul too.”

Hearts are revealed. In this prophetic Word of God Thee Father, we are speaking of the Parents of Jesus Christ. The Mother of Jesus is told of rising and falling. And only His Mother is told her soul will be pierced by violence. Joseph is standing present and is not included.

We find Rising and Falling in Good Friday of The King of the Jews.

Mark 15

21 A certain man from Cyrene, Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing by on his way in from the country, and they forced him to carry the cross.

A Certain Man brings Light. We find the Father Son Bar Identification is falling to the past. Jesus heartwarmingly knows Simon of Cyrene has two sons and their names. Jesus is not told Simon is Simon Bar Grandfather's Name. Jesus is told of Simon's living love of two sons. (Small wonder we learn of a Rufus in Romans 16. Rufus.)

Identification at the Beginning of the New Covenant of the future! The hearts of fathers return to their sons!

Simon is also joined in this Great Tragedy - our Profound Blessing of Life Forever, God's Overwhelming Transcendence - a Father's Grief turned into Victory in Jesus - by another Joseph. Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Council, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. In the place of a Father. This simply might have been more than Joseph could have born having worked his life dreams becoming saving this spectacular child.


Job has stood in the same ground of losing so many people in his life - all his children - and found breathing assures him of God.

The Breathe of our lungs is a gift of God. The circumstances in our lives - God's Plan.


The Scriptures present to us - the nitty gritty of life. We don't have to run from life. Or avoid looking at scenarios of Life because - God is with us. We can look to see what Jesus called "Rising" and "Overcoming." We will look at some of the more nitty gritty parts of Fatherhood. God has given all of us Foster Families. The History of Kings and Chronicles, Genesis and  all the Scriptures are our Family Stories. This is were our Father tells us the basics of the Light of Life - all to learn Life, Love, Joy, Perseverance, Dignity created by being a Child of God.

When we read God of Love, God of Encouragement - we find we are given Simeon explaining Life.

1 Corinthians 13 explains - Love does not end. Joseph had remarkable Love for Jesus Christ.

Abba, our Father God,

We give You Thanks for Life. Our Father, You give Life.

The Blessings of those we Love and their lives. For Jesus as our Savior.

We thank You for the encouragement of those who overcome daily, giving Love. Thank You for Your Life giving Word. I remember my Grandmothers holding on to You. I remember my father, my Daddy, inspired by You. The Blessings of knowing the work of faith.

What would Jesus have us Pray? With hope, in all our prayers, for More Heaven upon earth and God's Good Will.

For all of us, so high, so far, so deep, so wide - is our Father's Love to fill our Nation trusting in Him.

Your Gift to me, Christ dwell in my hearts through faith. Being rooted and grounded in love, with power, together with all the saints, to comprehend the length and width and height and depth of Our Father's love,

Know the love of Christ surpassing knowledge, that all the Children of God all over Father God's Good Creation, may be filled with all the fullness of Jesus Christ God's Son.

We are praying for our friend numbered among the Greatest - healed of cancer all his long life. For this little boy to have all the use and function of his arm. To have the doctor healed and well.

We look to Jesus and see Your Compassion and Help. 

AMEN JESUS CHRIST, AMEN.

Today. The work God-given is to believe in Jesus Christ.
