Compline, Night Prayer 2 Timothy 1:7 ~ Spirit of Love



Abba, our Good Father,

You have given us a Spirit, not of fear, but of power and love and self-control.

You give us Light in Your Gospel.

Psalm 94:19 
When my anxieties multiply, your comforting calms me down

In Jesus we pray for calm, for us all.

Psalm 107:19-20
“Lord, help!” they cried in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress. He sent out his word and healed them, snatching them from the door of death.

Thank You, Father, for all the people praying. The incredible number of good people asking You for help. Thank You.

Deuteronomy 31:6
Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you.
He will not leave you or forsake you.

Jesus, God's Savior, keep safe our loved ones. Keep us in You, all in You.

Exodus 12:31
Then he summoned Moses and Aaron by night and said, “Up, go out from among my people, both you and the people of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as you have said."

Father God, we pray for a time of prayer and fasting.(Fasting can be removing a meal or a type of food.) And in this prayer and asking, You will hear our prayer, see our diligence for You and heal us in Your Holy Spirit and Overwhelming Love and Mercy. We ask in Jesus, Amen.




Thou shalt call his name Jesus for he shall save his people from their sins. Matthew 1: 21

…The 
everlasting FatherThe Prince of Peace Isaiah 9:6

… God hath made that same

Romans 8:28 ~ Interweave







We have given thanks for children not affected by Covid-19. We have given thanks for lack of violence in protests. And we have found - trouble.

Thanksgiving to God is never wasted. Hope is not only a positive influence on us every moment we can genuinely employ Faith. Historically, we can trust trouble will occur and in the overcoming we find Optimism, Faith and Hope keep us Alive.

Senses versus sensationalism. More is at work than George Floyd. We have heard the complaints during the Pandemic of ridiculous freedoms being entailed. We have seen fights over masks - in a Pandemic! It's not been widely reported about the solutions. I listened last week to one weary in striving to make a living, "Solutions are childish, we need trade offs."

So we really want to hear all of our problems displayed without the hope of a better next month? If we don't focus on what is working and build up our strength, we will Weaken. Ministry is the example of the Posts, the last two days about the wonders of Jesus Christ. His ancestry is flawed. His Disciples lack faith. Circumstances move against Him. And the reply from the Word of God isn't something so sweet we can't hold on to it with rational faith. All things are interweaving:


Romans 8:28
And we know that all things "Interweave" together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.




God tells us, rather unbelievably, we sulk to learn, to focus on God and Love Him. In our rational minds, we wonder if God believes still in lambs and goats and turtledoves being offered. Because there is so much we touch upon and we wonder if God is there. And we find God is wise.

Where are we going to put our focus?

If we look at Pandemic, we find ourselves in fact finding mode. We entrust our senses to finding what is sensational and not find the solutions. Solutions are real. Trade offs are the sacrifices of goodness life requries us to make. To give up hope is applauded as realistic. And alcoholism is 1 in 3 adults. If we are going to applaud a lack of hope - we are going to find ourselves - hopeless.

Realistic. Trouble ends. Applaud the less dramatic solutions.

Realistic. Trouble ends. THANK GOD.

Applaud God our children do not have Covid-19 like Polio.


4 million confirmed cases of COVID-19.

Among 345 children with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 and complete information about underlying conditions, 23% had an underlying condition, with chronic lung disease (including asthma), cardiovascular disease, and immunosuppression most commonly reported.12

Recently, however, reports from Europe and North America have described clusters of children and adolescents requiring admission to intensive care units with a multisystem inflammatory condition with some features similar to those of Kawasaki disease and toxic shock syndrome. Case reports and small series have described a presentation of acute illness accompanied by a hyperinflammatory syndrome, leading to multiorgan failure and shock.13-15 Initial hypotheses are that this syndrome may be related to COVID-19 based on initial laboratory testing showing positive serology in a majority of patients. Children have been treated with anti-inflammatory treatment, including parenteral immunoglobulin and steroids.

It is essential to characterize this syndrome and its risk factors, to understand causality, and describe treatment interventions. It is not yet clear the full spectrum of disease, and whether the geographical distribution in Europe and North America reflects a true pattern,

THANK GOD THE CHILDREN ARE NOT DYING OF COVID 19.


Realistic. Trouble ends. THANK GOD.


More is at work than George Floyd. Who did not deserve to die. Can you watch the four policemen and not feel ANGRY? NO.

Ahmaud Arbery - can you watch his death and not weep?

Boston. We saw the Klu Klux Klan swamped by 200,000 people making sure Martin Luther King, Jr would see we want His Dream to Live. My childhood saw segregation, seeing people just lose their minds. Living. George Springsteen "Your Hometown".

What can you do?

I was eight years old and running with a dime in my hand
Into the bus stop to pick up a paper for my old man
I'd sit on his lap in that big old Buick and steer as we drove through town
He'd tousle my hair and say son take a good look around
This is your hometown
This is your hometown
This is your hometown
This is your hometown

In '65 tension was running high at my high school
There was a lot of fights between the black and white
There was nothing you could do
Two cars at a light on a Saturday night in the back seat there was a gun
Words were passed in a shotgun blast
Troubled times had come
To my hometown
My hometown
My hometown
My hometown

Now Main Street's whitewashed windows and vacant stores
Seems like there ain't nobody wants to come down here no more
They're closing down the textile mill across the railroad tracks
Foreman says these jobs are going boys and they ain't coming back
To your hometown
Your hometown
Your hometown
Your hometown

Last night me and Kate we laid in bed
Talking about getting out
Packing up our bags maybe heading south
I'm thirty five we got a boy of our own now
Last night I sat him up behind the wheel and said son take a good look around
This is your hometown.


Jesus Christ worked with His Flawed Family. Jesus Christ believed in the incredibly bumptious Disciples.


We can't dwell in sensationalism. We dwell in God has faith in us and have Hope. Find the Solutions.

We know Minneapolis is on fire at 3 a.m. on Lake Street.

And we know it won't be soon. Because in the riots, we find why God has faith in us. The Light of Jesus Christ is found in mankind even in the damn riots. The man who broke the window at Ace Hardware was photoed, videos taken and reported by the crowd with him. One cheerful quasi-rioter was horrified to learn rocks had been thrown 'at the police', no way. Local news found him finding out. (The other rioter with him was more goat ish.) When Target was looted, one brave bystander stood and took videos of the looters. Knock, Knock. We want the lamps back. Mr Rogers still sees the Helpers. (Can you imagine being the one filming the looting inside Target. Note to self: increase bravery.) PS, Target took a few videos, too.

Anger is one thing. Violence another. 3 A.M Lake Street saw violent people getting away quickly from The National Guard. Thank You, National Guard, for making sure people can dwell in safety through the night and day without fire.



THANK GOD THE DEMONSTRATORS NATIONWIDE,ARE NOT DYING OF COVID 19.

THANK GOD THE DEMONSTRATORS NATIONWIDE, ARE NOT VIOLENT AND BELIEVE SOLUTIONS WILL BE OBTAINED.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR BELIEF AND THE PEACE YOU HAVE SHOWN. NATIONWIDE.



Honor The Peaceful Demonstrators. And include in the ranks of the Peaceful Denomstrators - George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery. Their families have lost Good Men.

Honor the Solutions we have to Search Diligently to find. Put down Sensationalism.


ASK to see what Paul Harvey called "The Rest of the Story:"


Mayor Simmons, Greenville, MS

Last week, Greenville police officers issued $500 tickets to drive-in church attendees at Temple Baptist Church and threatened the action at King James Baptist Church.

Mayor Simmons said the actions came as a result of Governor Tate Reeves’ statement on a conference call that drive-in services would not work because “people of faith like to fellowship” .


Outlining the steps he and the City Council took as the city sought to follow CDC guidelines and the Governor’s shelter-in-place order, Simmons said faith was at the center of his administration but a “smear campaign” was begun against him and the city, calling it “unacceptable and reprehensible.”

Mayor Simmons said he and his family have had threats on their life following the incidents.

“These incidents have been taken out of context,” Simmons said. “This is not a time to play politics. This is not a time to inflame unprecedented and challenging times with unnecessary attacks and false narratives.”


Mayor Simmons said the city will not be requiring anyone issued a citation to pay the fines.

Isaiah 7

10 Again the Lord spoke to Ahaz: 11 “Ask a sign of the Lord your God; let it be deep as Sheol or high as heaven.” 12 But Ahaz said, “I will not ask, and I will not put the Lord to the test.” 13 And he said, “Hear then, O house of David! Is it too little for you to weary men, that you weary my God also? 14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. 15 He shall eat curds and honey when he knows how to refuse the evil and choose the good

Matthew 13:55-56
His mother’s name Mary, and aren’t his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas? 56 Aren’t all his sisters with us?

All these with one accord were devoting themselves to prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers and sisters.


John 17:15-24

15 I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. 18 As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. 19 And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.

20 “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, 21 that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, 23 I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me. 24 Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world.

Psalm 130 ~ He will Redeem †


Opportunities for Prayer!


Psalm 130



A Song of Ascents.

Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord!
2 O Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive
to the voice of my pleas for mercy!



3 If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,

O Lord, who could stand?
4 But with you there is forgiveness,
that you may be feared.



5 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,

and in his word I hope;
6 my soul waits for the Lord
more than watchmen for the morning,
more than watchmen for the morning.



7 O Israel, hope in the Lord!

For with the Lord there is steadfast love,
and with him is plentiful redemption.

8 And he will redeem Israel
from all his iniquities.


God had given us all Gifts and Talents. We all have had some similarities and differences in our 'seat' in the Pandemic.



So we stand in a new place now.
We have had 500 deaths, the lowest number since Covid-19 began. We are reopening almost all the 50 states.

Our buying needs changed, our buying habits changed. Ideas of travel have changed some. More jobs are thinking about less commuting.

Yesterday, we looked at the Babylonian Exile or the 2nd Exodus. Bible Histories exist for us to see our place at the table. Let's look:


The Exilic period was a rich one:

Book of Jeremiah 39–43 (saw the Exile as a lost opportunity); the final section of 2 Kings (portrays this as the temporary end of history); 2 Chronicles (The Exile is the "Sabbath of the land"); and the opening chapters of Ezra, which records a new beginning.

Other works from or about the exile include the stories in Daniel 1–6 (the ideas of God and the forces of good and evil), Susanna (how society functions), Bel and the Dragon (miracles), the "Story of the Three Youths" (1 Esdras 3:1–5:6) (Governing), and the books of Tobit (stress and turmoil in near panic) and Book of Judith (war and violence with redemption). The Book of Lamentations arose from the Babylonian captivity (finding beauty in all seasons).

Oh no, the Apocrypha. When the world was in upheaval in the first two or three centuries, in the Year of the Lord, the Apocrypha was seen as necessary during the Council of Nicaea. Ok, fine if you aren't a fan. Fine.

Prior to exile, the people of Israel had been organized according to tribe. Afterwards, when all paperwork was stripped and gone - the Nation was organized by smaller family groups. Only the tribe of Levi continued in its temple role after the return. After this time, there were always sizable numbers of Jews living outside Israel; thus, the beginning of the "Jewish diaspora".

Fortunately for us all, we had a way to connect to our Churches during Covid.







How are you sorting your Pandemic?

The Temporary End of History
Sabbath of the Land

Lost Opportunity

Didn't we all spend some time complaining 'last year.' When I look at last year's videos of Church, I'm seeing Blessings given of Life - not even aware of Life to celebrate. Didn't we hop on planes and highways and take our freedom for granted?

And if we ignore the time we had to think during this season, we will miss this season and have Lost Opportunity.


Ephesians 5:14
For anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore, it says, “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

Isaiah 51:9
Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the Lord; awake, as in days of old, the generations of long ago.

Ephesians 6:18
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







The Temporary End of History

One of the most surprising aspects of the Pandemic to me, the major choice of television movie was "Plague". An exploration of emotional stamina? Having a conversation without words?

Seeing people crying in public seemed to wake us all up, maybe news has to have some sensitivities. Suddenly, it was important to protect each other. Even if we weren't "The Greatest Generation" fighting for world history in trenches, we could sit at home and think of all the people as a chain, instead of Dominoes, the chain caring for one another.

Isaiah 43:18-19
Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.






The Sabbath of the Land

So many prayers were answered about life tearing past families. Families had time to just be together. Prayers of Thanksgiving were offered. And suddenly, Grocery Stories were the place we all felt we would find continuance and security.  Finding new realizations of the Blessings of abundance we have lived all our lives.

Home Depot and Lowes were filled with people desiring to be busy and useful. To provide for what is given to us to care for. Art and Craft Stores geared up, probably for mementos for Christmas and years to come.

We learned from the White House, Local News, some National News many heart warming, brave and heroic deeds we have done for one another. The time President Trump and Vice President Pence have ceaselessly given to ensure safety and well being. Our Bible Study was so pleased to have good news during Quarantine of the ongoing efforts we made for each other.

Churches kept the Flame of the Holy Spirit alive.

Malachi 4:2
For you who reverence my name, the sun of righteousness shall rise with healing in its wings.
You shall go out leaping like calves from the stall.









God, and the Functions of Good and Evil

Was God listening to our prayers.  No one seemed to be concerned about the imbalances causing illness. A political play for a virus spread. A gigantic nation with few routes of protein in their food sources. Why borders didn't close. A blame game started appearing to be so fruitless.

How will we care for the elderly?

United in our hopes to protect one another.  We began to Ascend in Unity.

We could have seen riots.
Instead, we saw people in dire straits being peaceful and trusting good would be found. Huge numbers of people in various stages of employment, seeing delays in the food chain, seeing family isolated from one another and standing and believing - Good would be Accomplished.

Violence. Implied and actual violence.
From the Highest Level of Government, to people sitting in cars at parks and Churches, we have found Unity in our desire to see solid and good people provide Justice with Respect and Balance.  A desire to find Law serves Justice with Mercy.

Finding the results to the new stories we cared about had to come from our own searches. And in seeing the results, finding Good People press forth for goodness.










How Society Functions

In Pandemics and Plagues, Blame has to be assigned. We have miraculously avoided violence.  And have instead, some times seen the denial of information due to massive amounts of data changing shape as facts are found.

We have seen our Nation flow back to the efficiency of World War II.  Divisions have been cast aside to see our Nation fight to survive and then thrive again. Authority has been cast aspersions for even the place they have to decide. This season we have watched Authority and approved. And felt comforted. We have seen the Nation move mountains to cope. And find the abundance to provide for other nations.

We have seen Governors put aside differences and work with the National Leaders to promote wellness and well being, giving hope over coldness.

And in sorting the facts we have efficiently and quickly found Zoom and other methods to reassure one another. Bible Studies have truly helped.

Power plays have been seen. Where failure is actually hoped for. A revealing time for hearts.



Miracles


Finding people have been largely silent by the aspects of this Covid-19 Virus so puzzling even the doctors quietly admit they can think of no other illness sparing the young.

The exact opposite of the Polio Epidemics and the prayers of parents and grandparents.

Hospitals did not overflow. The death rates were cheated. People stood to cheer the Brave First Responders. The Gratitude was unrelenting. Prayers came from the Highest Levels of 'our' land.

Some of our States have seen Unemployment  decreasing in amazing rates. In Texas, we have seen Unemployment fall 4% in two weeks. Praying for our nation is occurring in all states. We are praying for more miracles and believing.











Governing

Has any election year had more coverage? We saw the Protesters tell the news media to back off and watch out for telling tall tales. We've seen the exodus of nightly news. And now we have seen news pick up and have more comments about the news media as the news itself. I have to say I've really enjoyed the efficiency and heart of our Local News Station.

For the National News, I'd have to comment the Democrats and Republicans have treated each other with more respect, at times, than shown for Elected, Hard Working, Officials. For matters of National Security and the smooth communication of our People, I'd suggest new guidelines of courtesy displayed in our commercial employments. Sensitivity Training. Or perhaps, Anger Management. This would probably be more effective if the top management attended these classes each time a conflict develops.
Maybe it's time for national attention to be rewarded to our journalists when licensed guidelines could be observed or revoked.

We have seen news rating fall to the depths. Worldwide Wrestling never was a National Pastime.

We are leaders in the World.
Perhaps we should try to lead with more elegance, grace, communication and wisdom.
 Fingers fly easily, perhaps more care should be employed in all directions.

Abraham Lincoln had the policy of open doors. We could improve on the policy of Civility.

And during this time we have seen Government reflect on the ability to Government to treat one another with the courtesy, mercy, fairness we want our Nation to exist well within.

Governing has found all layers in surprising depths.





Stress and Turmoil in Near Panic

Has anyone mentioned the United States Congress
was open during the Pandemic?
We have one person to thank for holding
the Legislative Branch open.
The Fires of Liberty did not go out.

Fifty Governors worked harder then ever.

The Nation has gratitude for all the efforts
of President Donald Trump
and Vice President Pence. Their ceaseless efforts
and of Dr Fauci and Dr Birx with all of the Massive
Logistics, Facts and Team Work.

The Prayers of the Leaders have
been heeded.

Schools fed Children. And the School System
showed it's strength to massively care and provide.

Teachers paraded for their students.

Love!







First Responders came from all over.
Other States. Retirement.
Hands were held. 
Ultimate Care was shown.



War and Violence with Redemption

Let this Portion be met with only Thanksgiving, we Pray.

And we will have our Redemption.



Finding Beauty in all Seasons

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. <><
