Luke 8:40-55

40 Now when Jesus returned, a crowd welcomed him, for they were all expecting him. 41 Then a man named Jairus, a ruler of the synagogue, came and fell at Jesus' feet, pleading with him to come to his house 42 because his only daughter, a girl of about twelve, was dying.

As Jesus was on his way, the crowds almost crushed him. 43 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years, but no one could heal her. 44 She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.

45 "Who touched me?" Jesus asked.

When they all denied it, Peter said, "Master, the people are crowding and pressing against you."

46 But Jesus said, "Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me."

47 Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed. 48 Then he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace."

49 While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue ruler. "Your daughter is dead," he said. "Don't bother the teacher any more."

50 Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus, "Don't be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed."

51 When he arrived at the house of Jairus, he did not let anyone go in with him except Peter, John and James, and the child's father and mother. 52 Meanwhile, all the people were wailing and mourning for her. "Stop wailing," Jesus said. "She is not dead but asleep."

53 They laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. 54 But he took her by the hand and said, "My child, get up!" 55 Her spirit returned, and at once she stood up. 

Then Jesus told them to give her something to eat.

Luke 11:2-10

2 And he said to them, “When you pray, say:

“Father, hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come.
3 Give us each day our daily bread,
4 and forgive us our sins,
for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us.
And lead us not into temptation.”

5 And he said to them, “Which of you who has a friend will go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves, 6 for a friend of mine has arrived on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him’;

7 And he will answer from within, ‘Do not bother me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot get up and give you anything’?

8 I tell you, though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend,
yet because of his impudence
he will rise and give him whatever he needs. 9 And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.

A synagogue dating back to the end of the Second Temple Era was discovered on the Tel Recheš Peak in the Galilee last week in a rare and unique archaeological find.

This is the first synagogue of its kind in the Galilee villages,” Dr. Aviam explained.
Last Tuesday, an excavation team discovered, just ten centimeters below the peak’s surface, a synagogue from the first century AD. The find contained a huge and impressive room nine meters high and eight meters wide with walls lined with benches made of limestone blocks. Diggers also discovered one of the two foundational pillars supporting the synagogue's roof.

A new discovery of the ancient synagogue, but the very layout of the benches along the structure’s walls. This is the common feature of a Sephardic synagogue’s designed in which worshippers sit along the wall facing the center of the room. It was customary for the the prayer reader to stand in the center of the room and read portions and lessons of the Torah during the Sabbath and the Jewish holidays.

Dr. Aviam added, “This is a simple synagogue but it is not simple to build a synagogue. The benches that we discovered are made of beautiful white Ashlar stone and the large foundational pillars required considerable investment and were expensive.”



To speak with Christians, we all know someone, including ourselves who have had a miracle. Father God rarely sends an Angel. Trumpets rarely blow.

Hebrews 11:1
Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

Miracles are sometimes seen as coincidences. Favor. Good fortune. And yet not everything surrounding this Miracle is fortuitous.


Luke 8

Soon afterward he went on through cities and villages, proclaiming and bringing the good news of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with him, 2 and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, 3 and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's household manager, and Susanna, and many others, who provided for them out of their means.

4 And when a great crowd was gathering and people from town after town came to him, he said in a parable, 5 “A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell along the path and was trampled underfoot, and the birds of the air devoured it. 6 And some fell on the rock, and as it grew up, it withered away, because it had no moisture. 7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up with it and choked it. 8 And some fell into good soil and grew and yielded a hundredfold.” As he said these things, he called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

9 And when his disciples asked him what this parable meant, 10 he said, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God, but for others they are in parables, so that ‘seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.’ 11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. 12 The ones along the path are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. 13 And the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy. But these have no root; they believe for a while, and in time of testing fall away. 14 And as for what fell among the thorns, they are those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not mature. 15 As for that in the good soil, they are those who, hearing the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with patience.

16 “No one after lighting a lamp covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light. 17 For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light. 18 Take care then how you hear, for to the one who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he thinks that he has will be taken away.”

19 Then his mother and his brothers came to him, but they could not reach him because of the crowd. 20 And he was told, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, desiring to see you.” 21 But he answered them, “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it.”

22 One day he got into a boat with his disciples, and he said to them, “Let us go across to the other side of the lake.” So they set out, 23 and as they sailed he fell asleep. And a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were filling with water and were in danger. 24 And they went and woke him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” And he awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging waves, and they ceased, and there was a calm. 25 He said to them, “Where is your faith?” And they were afraid, and they marveled, saying to one another, “Who then is this, that he commands even winds and water, and they obey him?”

26 Then they sailed to the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee. 27 When Jesus had stepped out on land, there met him a man from the city who had demons. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and he had not lived in a house but among the tombs. 28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him and said with a loud voice, “What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me.” 29 For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. (For many a time it had seized him. He was kept under guard and bound with chains and shackles, but he would break the bonds and be driven by the demon into the desert.) 30 Jesus then asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered him. 31 And they begged him not to command them to depart into the abyss. 32 Now a large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside, and they begged him to let them enter these. So he gave them permission. 33 Then the demons came out of the man and entered the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned.

34 When the herdsmen saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country. 35 Then people went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid. 36 And those who had seen it told them how the demon-possessed man had been healed. 37 Then all the people of the surrounding country of the Gerasenes asked him to depart from them, for they were seized with great fear. So he got into the boat and returned. 38 The man from whom the demons had gone begged that he might be with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying, 39 “Return to your home, and declare how much God has done for you.” And he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city how much Jesus had done for him.

40 Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him. 41 And there came a man named Jairus, who was a ruler of the synagogue.

 And falling at Jesus' feet, he implored him to come to his house, 42 for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying.

As Jesus went, the people pressed around him.
 43 And there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, and though she had spent all her living on physicians, she could not be healed by anyone. 44 She came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment, and immediately her discharge of blood ceased. 45 And Jesus said, “Who was it that touched me?” When all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the crowds surround you and are pressing in on you!” 

46 But Jesus said, “Someone touched me, for I perceive that power has gone out from me.” 47 And when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people why she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed. 48 And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace.”

49 While he was still speaking, someone from the ruler's house came and said, “Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the Teacher any more.” 

50 But Jesus on hearing this answered him, “Do not fear; only believe, and she will be well.” 

51 And when he came to the house, he allowed no one to enter with him, except Peter and John and James, and the father and mother of the child.

 52 And all were weeping and mourning for her, but he said, “Do not weep, for she is not dead but sleeping.” 53 And they laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. 54 But taking her by the hand he called, saying, “Child, arise.” 55 And her spirit returned, and she got up at once. And he directed that something should be given her to eat. 56 And her parents were amazed, but he charged them to tell no one what had happened.

Jesus was still working. He had a busy season. Jesus was busy, according to the first paragraph. Jesus was going far, He went on through cities and villages, proclaiming and bringing the good news of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with him, and also some women.

Jairus had a very deep need for a miracle.

And that particular day, Jesus was walking by. Unfortunately for Jairus, a crowd was waiting for Jesus.

Jairus is an official, and he makes his request. And still the crowd is pressing in on Jesus.

Jesus has another Miracle pressed to Him. And they are informed, Jesus walking by and pressed by the crowd has ended the prayer request of Jairus for his 12 year old daughter. 

Impudently, Jesus does not leave nor forsake Jairus.

Jesus had told Jairus to only believe. 

To have the crowd weeping, would not be helpful. Jesus went on. Impudently. Jesus continued past hopelessness around Him.  The Word of God is not held back. Jesus is working. 

The coincidences didn't align to be brilliant.  The dark has not overcome The Light.

An important point could be made. The father of the son Jesus met after the Transfiguration cried out to Jesus to have more faith. The father couldn't pull the Word of God to heal his beloved Son. He asked Jesus for help. The Holy Spirit is the Helper. Comforter. Jesus is God. We love because God first has Loved us.

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith

Hebrews 11:1-11 ~ commended as having pleased God †

A stranger leaves 500 face masks for the police station in East China #coronovirus

Hebrews 11:1-11

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.

4 By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as righteous, God commending him by accepting his gifts. And through his faith, though he died, he still speaks. 5 By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was commended as having pleased God. 6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. 7 By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household. By this he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.

8 By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. 9 By faith he went to live in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise. 10 For he was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God. 11 By faith Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered him faithful who had promised.

In 2011, our county and two others had the largest fire of 2011 in the USA. It was a 500 year forest fire according to my cousin who held the office of Forestry Commissioner of Louisiana. We had fire fighters even from Alaska and Washington state.

The Shelters kept changing as the wind blew the fire. And we were asked to bring gloves, lip balm, lotions, bottles of water to the Fire Station. The Shelters were at times isolated by fire itself. Thousands of residents connected through Facebook and donated. FB recorded everyone who donated was met with profound thanks. An amazing number of houses and lives were saved. Incredible.




We've all watched Australians going in to rescue people, animals and houses. The Light in mankind
is seen. The woman in the fire rescuing the Koala.

Ezekiel 34:11-12
For thus says the Lord God: Behold, I, I myself will search for my sheep and will seek them out. As a shepherd seeks out his flock when he is among his sheep that have been scattered, so will I seek out my sheep, and I will rescue them from all places where they have been scattered on a day of clouds and thick darkness.

The Dog was rescued from a steep cliff and fire.

Luke 15:6
Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’

In the middle of the Coronavirus, a man donates 500 masks to the East China Police. He does not wait for a thank you. Edward and I watched the Quarantines standing on porches in Wuhan. Getting food must be frightening in the middle of the Quarantine. Supplies of face masks must almost be impossible to find.



Galatians 3:14
So that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith.

John 1:3-4
3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

Colossians 3:11
Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all, and in all.

Colossians 3:23-24
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, 24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

Acts 15:7-9
And after there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe. And God, who knows the heart, bore witness to them, by giving them the Holy Spirit just as he did to us, and he made no distinction between us and them, having cleansed their hearts by faith."





Abba,

You bless us every day. When I consider the many years my family generations struggled, merely a hundred years ago, the life expectancy was in the 40s.

We are so blessed to not be in the middle of this Virus. It's a Blessing to see this man donate life saving equipment. The Lord Bless him and his family to survive and prosper. We pray for the Lord's own Rescue for these men and the many we do not see. Much of this faith will be unseen.

2 Corinthians 4:6
For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.

Father we cover ourselves and those we Love in Jesus Christ. To have Your Love and to lead us in the good works You have for us to walk in. Your Hope and Future will bring Your plans to completion.

We would join with all of Your Good Creation to ask for more of Your Good Will done on earth as in Heaven. To see this blessing. To live seeing our Blessings of Love, Peace, Joy. Finding Your Kingdom on earth.

Abraham argued for Your People. Moses argued for Your People. Paul addressed Your People as, "Beloved."

To  Give to You, The Lord our God, is pleasing to You. Everything we have is a Gift of God. And giving thanks is the Blessing of having You given us. God loves a Cheerful Giver. To Bless You in Gratitude, to be with Gratitude. To give to our Church and Community our labor and our tithe. To bless Christian Missionary work, like giving monthly money to Children in Nations of need. To bless Christian Radio. To be the Good Samaritan to our friends and neighbors. To speak well of local businesses both large and local effort. To give not just money, but prayer and time and talent.  To Stand firm in the faith and Love of Jesus Christ even in adverse circumstance with faith God will see us through. To find and rejoice in the Light of mankind in Jesus. God Blessing us to Have the Holy Spirit. Rejoicing.

Luke 1:47
And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior

Luke 10:20
Rejoice that your names are written in heaven.

John 8:56
Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad

Acts 2:26
Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest in hope

Romans 15:10
Again, it says, “Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.”


We face each day knowing Jesus said we will have troubles. And we will study Jesus Overcoming. We will have the Gratitude to our God, He is still Working.

Help us each day to be Pleasing to You, Father God. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer. Bless us and cover us in the Name and Love of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Exodus 33 ~ proclaim before you, my name, "The Lord"

Ephesians 6:24

Grace be with all who love our Lord Jesus Christ 
with love incorruptible.

When Moses was Graced with the Glory of God, why did God chose to do this

Exodus 33:18-23

18 Moses said, “Please show me your glory.” 

19 And He said, “I will make all my goodness pass before you 
and will proclaim before you my name ‘The Lord.’ 
And I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, 
and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy. 
20 But,” he said,
 “you cannot see my face, for man shall not see me and live.” 

21 And the Lord said, “Behold, there is a place by me where you shall stand on the rock, 
22 and while my glory passes by I will put you in a cleft of the rock, 
and I will cover you with my hand until I have passed by. 
23 Then I will take away my hand, and you shall see my back, but my face shall not be seen.”


This is one of the most astonishing moments of all the Scriptures in the Old Testament. And tells us a lot about God of Love, God of Encouragement.



Exodus 33:1-17

The Lord said to Moses, “Depart; go up from here, you and the people whom you have brought up out of the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, ‘To your offspring I will give it.’ 

2 I will send an angel before you, and I will drive out the Canaanites, the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. 

3 Go up to a land flowing with milk and honey; but I will not go up among you, lest I consume you on the way, for you are a stiff-necked people.”

4 When the people heard this disastrous word, they mourned, and no one put on his ornaments. 5 For the Lord had said to Moses, “Say to the people of Israel, ‘You are a stiff-necked people; if for a single moment I should go up among you, I would consume you. So now take off your ornaments, that I may know what to do with you.’” 

6 Therefore the people of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments, from Mount Horeb onward.

7 Now Moses used to take the tent and pitch it outside the camp, far off from the camp, and he called it the tent of meeting. And everyone who sought the Lord would go out to the tent of meeting, which was outside the camp. 

8 Whenever Moses went out to the tent, all the people would rise up, and each would stand at his tent door, and watch Moses until he had gone into the tent. 9 When Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud would descend and stand at the entrance of the tent, and the Lord would speak with Moses. 

10 And when all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance of the tent, all the people would rise up and worship, each at his tent door. 11 Thus the Lord used to speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. When Moses turned again into the camp, his assistant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, would not depart from the tent.

12 Moses said to the Lord, “See, you say to me, ‘Bring up this people,’ but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. Yet you have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found favor in my sight.’ 13 Now therefore, if I have found favor in your sight, please show me now your ways, that I may know you in order to find favor in your sight. Consider too that this nation is your people.” 

14 And He said, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” 

15 And Moses said to Him, “If your presence will not go with me, do not bring us up from here. 16 For how shall it be known that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people? Is it not in your going with us, so that we are distinct, I and your people, from every other people on the face of the earth?”

17 And the Lord said to Moses, “This very thing that you have spoken I will do, for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name.”

Ephesians 6:24

Grace be with all who love our Lord Jesus Christ 
with love incorruptible.

Abraham found Favor in the sight of God arguing with God to save (His) people.

Moses has found Favor saving (His) people.

The Mission of God's Only Son Jesus is to save the world in Jesus Christ.

The Glory of God and His presence is given to those Believing Jesus.

Jesus is Living Water. Jesus will go where He is needed. He will Nourish. Jesus tells us He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. God is God.

Before the New Covenant, God covers Moses with His Hand.

In Numbers 6, God tells us of His New Covenant.

We are Given Jesus Christ Our Salvation.

Acts 4:12
And there is salvation in no one else,
for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.

Philippians 2:9-11
Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

John 14:13
Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

Abba,

Thank You for Jesus. We Bless You for Your Son Jesus. The Christ of God. Messiah.

Please dwell in me Father, I ask in the Name of Jesus Christ. The Favor and Blessing of God will be found in my soul because of the Gracious Gift of Jesus and His Salvation.

With Jesus, may the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.

Because of Jesus, we have been Given, and given to us with the Love Jesus has for me and for you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over. Abba, in Jesus let this pour from Your Glory and from Your lap into our souls and lives. For with the measure Jesus Christ, You have Given, You have blessed us with Your Word manifest. How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!

If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you.

Your Word is Jesus. And You have commanded. Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.

We will take our cares and put the Name of Jesus to lift our cares to Jesus.

We will take our Loved Ones and be at peace to put Jesus in their hearts and lives.

We will lift our cares for the people You have given us and put the Name of Jesus in them. The Light of mankind.

We will lift up all the cares of the Nation and Put Jesus as we Trust in Him. And have Peace.

We will lift up the cares of God's Good Creation and put Jesus on the Throne of God and for His Glory we will Trust all the Nations to come to His Brightness.

We will join the Communion of the Saints asking Jesus for more Heaven on earth. Seeking God first. And find His Commandment to Love one another.

Beloved of God, Jesus live in us always. Amen.

Ephesians 6:10-24 ~ The Strength of His Might

Ephesians 6:10-24

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.

11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.

12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth,
and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace.
16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one;
17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,

18 Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication.

To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, 19 and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.

21 So that you also may know how I am and what I am doing, Tychicus the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord will tell you everything. 22 I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are, and that he may encourage your hearts.

23 Peace be to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

24 Grace be with all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with love incorruptible.




God has gone to lengths for us to understand the level of Hope, Peace and Security He Gives. The Word of God, according to God, is Living. Is like a fire smashing rocks - Jeremiah 23:29 Know the Scriptures and know the Power of God ~ Matthew 22:29


2 Corinthians 10:5
We tear down arguments, and every presumption set up against the knowledge of God; and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.


This isn't just for great upheaval - this is for the thoughts we have taking us down. Reducing our Joy. Tearing at the Joy of the Lord Truth.

The Work God has for mankind is to Believe the One He Sent. Jesus.

1 Timothy 1:5
The aim of our charge
is love
that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.


All of these verses are explained by Father God for us - His Beloved. To hold on to our faith in doubt.

Because we Read His Word with Longing for The Kingdom of God even unto earth. Believing God is Love.

The Strength of His Might

Love our Lord Jesus Christ with love incorruptible

We can take the well-known armor of God and find this is come into being to guide and protect Love Incorruptible.

C.S. Lewis drew Aslan from Scriptures.


1 Kings 10:19,20
19 The throne had six steps and a rounded top at the back of the throne. There were armrests on both sides of the seat, with a lion standing beside each armrest. 20 Twelve lions stood on the six steps, one at either end of each step. Nothing like this had ever been made for any kingdom.


And in God's Kingdom the Lion and the Lamb lie down finding God is this Loving and Strong. This is our Father God who has given us Armor unto Eternity.

Abba,

We give You thanks for Renewing Your Mercies Every Day.

You have given us another type of Armor, this is in Prayer, Your Armor Continues,

Luke 11:8
Because of your shameless impudence, even though it’s the middle of the night, your friend will get up out of his bed and give you all that you need.

Matthew 17:20 ~ have faith

Jesus said to deal gently with the newbies. Or the different idea than yourself. To be an encourager, like Paul said in the Holy Spirit. And! The Spirit of God can move us as the Word is Living and Active.

God's Kingdom. A vast and powerful God knows of what He is speaking. God is God.

I've heard a Sermon on using the brain Father God has gifted us with. Seeing great Holy Spirit works with practicality to understand at the level we can see with our physical eyes. And I had a conversation with a loved on on reaching faith through practicality. We can look at this verse with the brain and eyes God has given us to see a practical level  yet still part of our lives - daily.

Seeing this passage as: The situations in our life troubling us.

We can allow ourselves to fall into the fire of being overwhelmed with life. Or we can ignore our real difficulties and drown them with water like selfishness, alcohol or substance, video games and emotions. Allowing ourselves to be the victim and love our troubles for defining us. Not allowing ourselves to see real oppression and not grasping God to hold us to His path.

The task it to be like Joshua centered on Jesus to be our Savior.

My New Year Resolution is to acknowledge my difficulties. To express them. To gather Pray in myself and from trusted Christians. To cast my opportunities for a solution UP to Jesus, Who Cares for me. And to see with expectation what God will do. And release my worries knowing that He will not shun a worrier. Our Father God is Love.

Joshua 1:7

Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the instructions Moses gave you. Do not deviate from them, turning either to the right or to the left.

Psalm 28:7

The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him.

1 Peter 5:7

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

Psalm 30

A Psalm of David. A song at the dedication of the temple.

I will extol you, O Lord, for you have drawn me up

and have not let my foes rejoice over me.

2 O Lord my God, I cried to you for help,

and you have healed me.

3 O Lord, you have brought up my soul from Sheol;

you restored me to life from among those who go down to the pit.

4 Sing praises to the Lord, O you his saints,

and give thanks to his holy name.

5 For his anger is but for a moment,

and his favor is for a lifetime.

Weeping may tarry for the night,

but joy comes with the morning.

6 As for me, I said in my prosperity,

“I shall never be moved.”

7 By your favor, O Lord,

you made my mountain stand strong;

you hid your face;

I was dismayed.

8 To you, O Lord, I cry,

and to the Lord I plead for mercy:

9 “What profit is there in my death,

if I go down to the pit?

Will the dust praise you?

Will it tell of your faithfulness?

10 Hear, O Lord, and be merciful to me!

O Lord, be my helper!”

11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;

you have loosed my sackcloth

and clothed me with gladness,

12 that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent.

O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever!

Yesterday was an incredible news day. Sars  coronavirus, fires, earthquakes, political wrangling. It was amazing the news could fit in all the news. Psalm 30 covers this pretty well. Life does what the stock market does - reassess and reevaluate and continue.

Psalm 30 covers this - Stand strong, avoid dismay and tell of God's faithfulness.

We have no idea what decade of life will bring what situation. We are in our 50's and my husband has a terminal disabling brain illness of 3 lobes. He is doing well. No one expects to be in a doctor's office and finding this out at this age. One of our sons is on the other side of America, in law school, and we didn't anticipate the need to have these trips to see one another. Our son's dog is our dog - a rescue - who spent 10 years of his 14 or 15 years of life with us and we spent a year in physical dog therapy trying to help him walk and live. Spring Break found us with our first Bald Eagle on our pond and an appointment to put the dear and wonderful dog into Heaven, as he was in tremendous pain and not all there. He was unable to sleep at night. I'd say the experience brought us together as a family to pull together for the dog.

One doesn't always know what to say to each other as human beings in the face of life and death. Do you say, "Are you safe?" And add, "Today?" There isn't an easy escape to these type of events.

We are facing one family member in Alzheimer's, my mom, and we are having talks about her mortality as the physician has said it's time to face the end of life changes are happening. A day of silence. A day of flashbacks that don't make sense. A telephone call where the phone isn't recognized as a phone. The call is ended because the phone is put down. The lack of clarity in the phone call.

My husband's family is suddenly calling more and more medical discussions are held in grave earnestness.

My mother's change in life status is bringing about questions to my son. His help. Actually the both willing help of both sons is a blessing to see young men barely hitting 30 giving lots of thought to important questions. Important papers arrive in the mail. Trips to take to meet people of our past, even decades ago.

$4,000 nuclear brain scans. Trips across the Continent for family visits to our son. $4,000 eye surgeries taking a year to heal from. Finding out more eye surgery is needed again from a Youth Ministry Tennis Ball Horrible accident. Suddenly finding out I'm the Executor of my mom's Will. Receiving Medical Power of Attorney documents in the mail. This decade is not for sissies. It's been an odd year. One week the family trembles together. The next week a new semi-crisis. God Helps.

Foundation repair and flooding at a family member's house. Foundation meeting timing. Different ideas. Missed appointments. Hollering.

What's Astonishing to me is - we aren't Grandparents. We don't have have married children. This has not progressed as I always assumed life progresses. Our other son has his first adult job. I doubt he intended to find suddenly old people everywhere. Finding the people we grew up with as our parents friends are now gone to Heaven when their name is mentioned. And then my mother's foundation needed work and I find some of the people are still here and old memories are found!

One of the prayer groups we have known for about half of our life, discussed praying for the end of suffering. And find more Jesus. And relief and help was truly found. Faithful prayer. We have an idea for relief - Prayer.

We have seen answered prayer - our sons have really pulled for us as you hope your children will. Even when you never hoped for this to happen to them in their young adult years.

Our neighbors, even on blocks even far away, ask us and let us know we are cared for. Prayer of Living Water flowing with God's Love return to us. Comfort is comforting.

If this post was a downer - don't let this be a downer. We are encouraged to have you pray for us. We seek to find the Joy in God's Mercies every day. And this is found. We are requesting prayer for more Joy and less pain. For more Hope and less suffering. For God's Love to bloom everywhere and in the desert days.

Abba, Father God,

For the Eye Exam and probable upcoming Surgery, February 6th, we pray all better circumstances than the last eye vertigo. Growing up with 20/20 vision has this change being still an adjustment. Thank You for the clean bill of health for my eyes last time. I hope this set of surgeries bring this back. Healing the injury Cataract and the other eye adjusting.

For our Prayer Group to pray Jesus to bring His Heaven to earth to end suffering. The Joy of Jesus. A Jesus Miracle.

To find the Joy of the Comforter in our Neighbors asking and letting us know this is what they have recovered from. Thanking God for the Comforter found in our sons. Finding us standing united to hope in God for the place and time for Family Love. Rejoicing in the Love and comfort. Rejoicing in the Love and comfort. Rejoicing in Jesus bringing us together and finding Love and comfort.

Our God of Love and Encouragement is Alive. We know You hear our Prayers and Help.

Thank you for people praying together for our family. We pray to live in Love, Peace, Joy and find God's Heaven and His Righteousness upholding us everyday. Thank You for Your Mercies Renewing.

In Jesus Christ. The Highest Name. Given to us - Jesus. Amen.
