For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
Fallen Leaves of Autumn have found His Glory
God is our Advocate!
1 John 2:1
My little children, I am writing these things to you
so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin,
we have an advocate with the Father,
Jesus Christ the righteous.
This life is a journey to be the Prodigal Child returning Home. Abba has placed His Comforter in us, just to ask Him.
John 15:26
When the Advocate comes,
whom I will send to you from the Father--the Spirit of truth
who goes out from the Father--he will testify about me.
John 17:11 I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one.
John 17:24 "Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world."
Capernaum Glory And
John 17:23
I in them and you in me – so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
Colossians 3:12-15
Put on then, as God's chosen ones,
holy and beloved,
compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience,
bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other;
as the Lord has forgiven you,
so you also must forgive.
And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.
And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts,
to which indeed you were called in one body.
And be thankful.
John 17:22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one
John 17:10
All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them
John 17:13
"I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them."
John 17:7
Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you.
Abba,
Our Father, Now to You, Jesus Christ, Who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to You, Father, be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever.
Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of our God! How unsearchable are Your judgments and how inscrutable Your ways! For from You, Lord, and through You, Father, and to Jeaus are all things. To Jesus Christ be glory forever. Amen.
7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. 9 Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? 11 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him! 12 “So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. 13 “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. 14 For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few. 15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16 You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. 18 A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus you will recognize them by their fruits. 21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’ 24 “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.” 28 And when Jesus finished these sayings, the crowds were astonished at his teaching, 29 for he was teaching them as one who had authority, and not as their scribes.
One day, a man named Espalier went on a journey. He was invited to see the New World in an English ship and with an old Spanish ship.The journey at times was to be tortuous. Fraught.
They had to turn back for leaks. Started out and return for leaks again.
Psalm 107 15 Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man! 16 For he shatters the doors of bronze and cuts in two the bars of iron.
600 miles off course the ship was thoroughly shaken, and her upper works made very leaky. Events appeared to be fixed. And they all continued several days together, which was some encouragement unto them; yet according to the usual manner many were afflicted with seasickness.
Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, prisoners in affliction and in irons, 11 for they had rebelled against the words of God, and spurned the counsel of the Most High. 12 So he bowed their hearts down with hard labor; they fell down, with none to help. 13 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. 14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and burst their bonds apart. And some who swore evilly died in a most desperate manner. Then the ship encountered many times, crosswinds, and met with many fierce storms. And then decisions had to be made into serious consultation with the master and other officers of the ship, to consider whether to return, rather than to cast themselves into desperate and inevitable peril.
17 Some were fools through their sinful ways, and because of their iniquities suffered affliction; 18 they loathed any kind of food, and they drew near to the gates of death. 19 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.
And truly there was great distraction and difference of opinion amongst the mariners themselves. But in examining of all opinions, the master and others affirmed they knew the ship to be strong and firm underwater; and for the buckling of the main beam, there was a great iron screw the passengers brought out of Holland, which would raise the beam into its place; which was done. The carpenter and master affirmed that with a post put under it, set firm in the lower deck, and other ways bound, he would make it sufficient.
And as for the decks and upper works they would caulk them as well as they could, and though with the working of the ship they would not long hold firm, they would be safe as long as they did not over-stress her with sails. So they committed themselves to the will of God, and resolved to proceed.
Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever!
2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,
whom he has redeemed from trouble
3 and gathered in from the lands,
from the east and from the west,
from the north and from the south.
..after long beating at sea they fell with that land which is called Cape Cod: they were not a little joyful!
Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and he delivered them from their distress.
7 He led them by a straight way
till they reached a city to dwell in.
8 Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,
for his wondrous works to the children of man!
9 For he satisfies the longing soul,
and the hungry soul he fills with good things.
After some deliberation amongst themselves and with the master of the ship, they resolved to sail southward to find someplace about Hudson's river for their habitation.
20 He sent out his word and healed them,
and delivered them from their destruction.
21 Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,
for his wondrous works to the children of man!
22 And let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving,
and tell of his deeds in songs of joy!
But after they had sailed that course about half a day, they fell amongst dangerous shoals and roaring breakers, and resolved to bear up again for the Cape.
Some went down to the sea in ships, doing business on the great waters; 24 they saw the deeds of the Lord, his wondrous works in the deep. 25 For he commanded and raised the stormy wind, which lifted up the waves of the sea. 26 They mounted up to heaven; they went down to the depths; their courage melted away in their evil plight; 27 they reeled and staggered like drunken men and were at their wits' end. 28 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. 29 He made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed. 30 Then they were glad that the waters were quiet, and he brought them to their desired haven. 31 Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man! 32 Let them extol him in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
and thought themselves happy to get out of those dangers before night overtook them.
Being thus arrived in a good harbor and brought safe to land, they fell upon their knees and blessed the God of heaven, who had brought them over the vast and furious ocean, and delivered them from all the perils and miseries thereof."
Espalier had not understood. The journey had seemed so perilous, sometimes without hope. He had begun as the great adventurer - for God. The Way had been fraught. Hunger would plague these Mayflower adventures for God.
Later generations, what would the settlers see?
Espalier would say ~ The People of God were being equipped! When the season was right - fruit would be harvested!!!
And the fruit would be placed well within reach!
Love. Learn. Hope. Good times. Lean Times. Lean to the Father. Life is a Test. A Big Fat Test. HOME! As God's Children. Glory. Glory. Alleluia He reigns.
Is the story of the Mayflower unique? To the United States?
No! Simon the Zealot, Disciple of Jesus wanted a better life. The ups and downs of Psalm 107? See the Book of Judges. Perhaps a King? See First and Second Kings. And all of Chronicles.
The Ancient of Days tells us the pendulum of life has a purpose.
His. The Book of Life. Struggle has a purpose. Learn. Use discernment. Seek Him. Become His. Seek wisdom and His Will. Rejoice. Endure. Survive. Hope. Cope. Help. Love.
Today our free radio proclaimed the United States is done. Oligopoly - the reign of a few has begun. Do you you have Freedom of Speech? The Supreme Court recently upheld this.
Do you still have the voting power?
Each day our Father GOD is giving us choices. We must value what we have and not believe the worst of our opportunities.Unless we see a path forward, search for forward, we can sink in the root of bitterness. Bitterness - by it many become defiled. Don't make me say anything about apples and barrels here.
This Summer, we went to Michigan to see our Son. In the last decades, Michigan Apples are planted and pruned to have the fruit to be clearly within reach.
Psalm 68:19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.
Psalm 103:2-4 2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, 3 who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, 4 who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.
Philippians 4:19
And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
James 1:12
Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial,
for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life,
which God has promised to those who love him.
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord,
plans for welfare and not for evil,
to give you a future and a future
Abba, Father God, We wait upon You, O Lord.
Daily You Bless us and as we lean upon You, we trust more and more. We have asked You have given. Thank You for these Blessings and fruit.
We have at times staggared and worried in this life. The Battle is Yours and the way we win is prayer. You are our strength and our shield.
In You we lean to have refuge. Our desired Haven.
You have Built our lives Father GOD! You have filled us with Good Things to Be Blessed and Grateful. Steadfast Love and Wonderous Works. Founded on Your Rock. A Royal Priesthood of God. Praying for Israel and our leaders. Our families, friends, neighbors and those who need You Now. Elliott and Dee.
You are the Light of the world and our Hope and Future. In name of Jesus we pray. Amen.
In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps.
Patmos Island, Edward was remembering going there in 1980. He said the cave was very nice and the view was astonishing. Like being on top of the world to see the endless sea and sky touching. Much as it looked when John was climbing the mountain the first time.
The Lord's own Disciple on Good Friday didn't see the next step, Jesus never left or was going to forsake him.
Consider how the Life of John, the Beloved Disciple, matches the Scriptures for Israel.
Father God's provision for John is great wealth. Abba provided for all of John's needs. In unusual ways. Blessing Seekers are Blessing Finders.
Deuteronomy 31:6
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.
Deuteronomy 30:19
This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live
Deuteronomy 1:8
See, I have given you this land. Go in and take possession of the land the LORD swore he would give to your fathers – to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob – and to their descendants after them.
Deuteronomy 29:29
The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law.
Deuteronomy 10:12
And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in obedience to him, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul
Deuteronomy 6:7
Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up
Deuteronomy 4:7 What other nation is so great as to have their gods near them the way the LORD our God is near us whenever we pray to him?
John experienced this and so did the Island of Crete for seeking Jesus.
Deuteronomy 7:6 For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession
John, the Beloved Disciple, had an Exodus from the coming difficulties of the Disciples of Jesus. Like Israel, there was another Exodus, like John went safely to the Island of Patmos.
Deuteronomy 7:1 When the LORD your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess and drives out before you many nations – the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites, seven nations larger and stronger than you
Deuteronomy 7:8 It was because the LORD loved you and kept the oath he swore to your ancestors that he brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the land of slavery, from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
Deuteronomy 8:9 A land where bread will not be scarce and you will lack nothing; a land where the rocks are iron and you can dig copper out of the hills Deuteronomy 1:6 The LORD our God said to us at Horeb, "You have stayed long enough at this mountain.
Deuteronomy 1:11 May the LORD, the God of your ancestors, increase you a thousand times and bless you as he has promised
Deuteronomy 28:1 If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth
Father God's provision for John is great wealth. He has provided all of John's needs. In so many unusual ways. Blessing Seekers - Blessing finders!!!
† John 13:34 A New Commandment I Give You: Love one another. As I have loved you,
Abba,
We give our cares to You.
When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.
Because of Jesus. And he said, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.
You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy.
Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence
Thank You God, for Your Goodness.
Teaching us to observe all that You have commanded us.
And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age
Jesus is with us
We know this and clearly with expectation - Lift up our cares, our lives. And the ones we love. The People our Father God puts in our lives to last and have harmony. For the healing of Elliott and Dee.
For His Goodness. For the Nation and all the believers.

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.
