Mark 1:40-43 ~ you say

Mark 1:40-43

And a leper came to him, imploring him, and kneeling said to him, “If you will, you can make me clean.”

Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand and touched him and said to him, “I will; be clean.” And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean.

And Jesus sternly charged him and sent him away at once, and said to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, for a proof to them.”


Jesus was not always asking for silence. Only sometimes. When Jesus healed the widow's son, Jesus did this in front of a large crowd. For the town and His followers to understand Jesus was God of the Living. Death was overcome. Very literally.

Mark's Gospel says this is what was Important, Mark's Witness:

1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

2 As it is written in Isaiah the prophet,

“Behold, I send my messenger before your face,
who will prepare your way,
3 the voice of one crying in the wilderness:
‘Prepare the way of the Lord,
make his paths straight’”


Mark wrote the Gospel, this was what the people of the first century Rome were asking about. Peter was guiding Mark.

The events, evidently, were thought about in great measures. The answer is here, witnessed by people who have seen miracles. Great miracles give rise to questioning. Like survival. Why was I honored? What will I do with this? People with miracles are spoken of testing the new goodness like a new colt. Jesus speaks within us. This man is healed and he will speak in his soul to the Deed and Word of Jesus. Jesus has placed before this man, new life. This man understands the wilderness, of no path, has a new path for him. He is a New Creation. Jesus has given him a beginning. And has given him the freedom, not to have the controversy of the man who was blind and healed from birth. When you are free in Jesus, you are free indeed.

Mark 1:45
But he went out and began to talk freely about it, and to spread the news, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter a town, but was out in desolate places, and people were coming to him from every quarter.

The choice belongs to the child of God. The man has decided to trust the telling to everyone. He believes he has done well. And God, Himself, has blessed his choice. Jesus is Proclaimed!

God trusts us. He has faith we will chose the good.

This is the Belief of Jesus Christ in us.

God in His Love is interested in what we do with Life.

Isaiah 7

In the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, son of Uzziah, king of Judah, Rezin the king of Syria and Pekah the son of Remaliah the king of Israel came up to Jerusalem

Ahaz understands the world has immense trouble. He has shepherded his nation, to worship in the hills. He believes his son, future King Hezekiah, will be the puppet king of Assyria. The Temple is avoided so his son can chip out the gold and appease Assyria. Ahaz is mistaken, but he truly is searching for the good of his nation. Very evidently, sincerity is not something God mistakes for sin. Both in Isaiah 7 and Mark 1. The wilderness of life is not something God is concerned is overwhelming. God knows 'exactly' where we are.

Isaiah 7

3 And the Lord said to Isaiah, “Go out to meet Ahaz, you and Shear-jashub your son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool on the highway to the Washer's Field. 

4 And say to him, ‘Be careful, be quiet, do not fear, and do not let your heart be faint because of these two smoldering stumps of firebrands



7 Thus says the Lord God:

“‘It shall not stand,
and it shall not come to pass.
8 For the head of Syria is Damascus,
and the head of Damascus is Rezin.
And within sixty-five years
Ephraim will be shattered from being a people.
9 And the head of Ephraim is Samaria,
and the head of Samaria is the son of Remaliah.

If you are not firm in faith, you will not be firm at all.’”

God is telling the worried Ahaz, an unlikely peace is upon them. Today and Tomorrow.


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. 16 For before the boy knows how to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land whose two kings you dread will be deserted.

17 The Lord will bring upon you and upon your people and upon your father's house such days as have not come since the day that Ephraim departed from Judah—the king of Assyria!”

18 In that day the Lord will whistle for the fly that is at the end of the streams of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria. 19 And they will all come and settle in the steep ravines, and in the clefts of the rocks, and on all the thornbushes, and on all the pastures.

20 In that day the Lord will shave with a razor that is hired beyond the River—with the king of Assyria—the head and the hair of the feet, and it will sweep away the beard also.

21 In that day a man will keep alive a young cow and two sheep, 22 and because of the abundance of milk that they give, he will eat curds, for everyone who is left in the land will eat curds and honey.

23 In that day every place where there used to be a thousand vines, worth a thousand shekels of silver, will become briers and thorns. 24 With bow and arrows a man will come there, for all the land will be briers and thorns. 25 And as for all the hills that used to be hoed with a hoe, you will not come there for fear of briers and thorns, but they will become a place where cattle are let loose and where sheep tread.

Mark 5

40 And they laughed at him. But he put them all outside and took the child's father and mother and those who were with him and went in where the child was. 41 Taking her by the hand he said to her, “Talitha cumi,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.” 42 And immediately the girl got up and began walking (for she was twelve years of age), and they were immediately overcome with amazement. 

43 And he strictly charged them that no one should know this, and told them to give her something to eat.

We are again Part of the Struggle to Make what is Right. In this story - two lowly women are healed by Jesus.

Jesus was willing to heal the Official, Jairus' daughter. Jesus was unwilling to be seen as the tool of the powerful. Jesus is simply walking in the Garden, righting what is wrong.  Genesis 3. The same as Ahaz.

Mark 8

27 And Jesus went on with his disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. 
And on the way,
He asked his disciples, “Who do people say that I am?” 

28 And they told him, “John the Baptist; and others say, Elijah; and others, one of the prophets.”

29 And He asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” 

Peter answered him, “You are the Christ.” 

30 And he strictly charged them to tell no one about him.

Jesus in this portion of the Gospel of Mark  - is clearly giving Messiah Answers.

 God is not rejecting His Temple, He is moving forward.

And Jesus is telling of the Vatican, built upon the Rock of Peter Simon.

The Benefits flowing in Sanctification: Assurance of God's love, peace of conscience, joy in the Holy Ghost, increase of grace, and perseverance therein to the end. The first benefit flowing from sanctification is assurance of God's love. 'Give diligence to make your calling and election sure.' 2 Peter 1:10. Sanctification is the seed, assurance is the flower which grows out of it: assurance is a consequent of sanctification. Thomas Watson—A Body of Divinity

2 Peter 1:19 

We have the more sure word of prophecy; and you do well that you heed it, 

as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns, 

and the morning star arises in your hearts.

Peter was not prolific in His Publishing. Peter asked Mark to answer questions. And we have Mark's Gospel.

The Royal Stoa was part of the Temple and then part of God's Church.

Jesus knew of what He was Speaking.

The Original Basilica of St. Peter - the original stairs under the Altar lead to St. Peter's Tomb.

What was covered over, has been found again. In the present day to see the Peter's tomb, the Vatican offers these stairs.

and the stairs of Jesus on Good Friday:

Mark 9

7 And a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son; listen to him.”

8 And suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them but Jesus only.

9 And as they were coming down the mountain, he charged them to tell no one what they had seen, until the Son of Man had risen from the dead. 10 So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what this rising from the dead might mean.


Isn't God amazing, we go down a path of His Word and He opens doors.
We are just walking along.





Abba, Holy Spirit, our Father God,

Preach the Gospel at all times. When necessary, use words.

Ahaz had no idea, God would bring him something new. The leprous man had no idea. The Transfiguration was a surprise blessing to John, James and Peter.


Ephesians 3:20-21
Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

The Bible in our Hand today, is Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow the Wisdom of God to you - His Church. Jesus has told us to know the Scriptures is to Know the Power of God.

John 7:38
Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.

Romans 10:17
So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

Mark 5:36
Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, “Don't be afraid; just believe.”

Bless the Peace and Hope of The United States of America to have abiding Love.


1 Corinthians 13:13
So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

We ask, in the Name of Jesus, to have Your Help to bring more Heaven upon Your earth.
You save the entire world in Jesus Christ. This day we ask for Your Love to pour out upon all of us.

Bless our Famiies!

Thank You for giving us Jesus Christ. Majestic, Marvelous, Mysterious, Mystical, Meditative, Masterful, and Motivate and Majesty.

Good News. Jobs. Peace. Please Speak Your Word to Willingly Bless us and allow us all the tenacious hope 2020 will improve immeasurably.

Psalm 128 ~ be Blessed

So, we read Trip Advisor in Lansing, Michigan and we ordered. Surprise! Out came the Phones.
Some days you make a Memory!

Psalm 128

A Song of Ascents.

Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in His ways!

You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands;

you shall be blessed, and it shall be well with you.

Your wife will be like a fruitful vine

within your house

Your children will be like olive shoots around your table.

Behold, thus shall the man be blessed who fears the Lord.

The Lord bless you from Zion!

May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life!

May you see your children's children!

Peace be upon Israel!

Well, we talked about Father's Day being a time to expand kindness. And forgot to say the key Blessing of Life is  -  Thanksgiving.



Haggai is after the Second Exodus, when the Children of Israel have returned from being slaves in Babylon. They have returned from a land with more than plenty - to struggle in burned out Judah. This struggle will be very successful. And is a profound message of courage and faith.


We are here today:

Haggai 1

5 Now, therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts: Consider your ways. 6 You have sown much, and harvested little. You eat, but you never have enough; you drink, but you never have your fill. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm. And he who earns wages does so to put them into a bag with holes.

7 “Thus says the Lord of hosts: Consider your ways. 8 Go up to the hills and bring wood and build the house, that I may take pleasure in it and that I may be glorified, says the Lord. 9 You looked for much, and behold, it came to little. And when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why? declares the Lord of hosts. Because of my house that lies in ruins, while each of you busies himself with his own house

Haggai 1:13
Then Haggai, the LORD's messenger, gave this message of the LORD to the people: "I am with you," declares the LORD.

Haggai 2:4
But now be strong, Zerubbabel,' declares the LORD. 'Be strong, Joshua son of Jozadak, the high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land,' declares the LORD, 'and work. For I am with you,' declares the LORD Almighty.

Haggai 2:5
"This is what I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt. And my Spirit remains among you. Do not fear.'"


Haggai 2:8-9
"The silver is mine and the gold is mine,' declares the LORD Almighty. The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,' says the LORD Almighty. 'And in this place I will grant peace,' declares the LORD Almighty."


Haggai 2:18-19
From this day on, from this twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, give careful thought to the day when the foundation of the LORD's temple was laid. Give careful thought.

19 Is the seed yet in the barn? Indeed, the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have yielded nothing. 

But from this day on I will bless you.”

Haggai 2:20
The word of the LORD came to Haggai a second time on the twenty-fourth day of the month.



Father's Day went like this - the son far away called, very early. The son locally was a little late. The plans to visit the lake fell through for crowded conditions and rain out. The second plans to visit the Mexican Restaurant really, really met rain. And the leftover spaghetti had an excellent flavor with shrimp from the freezer added to the sauce. The outside peaches had been eaten, so store bought Peaches made an excellent dessert in sugar-free Vanilla pudding and in pastry shells. The Summer Corn was unusually delicious. Finally, the rain left and we got to have patio restaurant coffee - but as we got there the coffee house was closed. So McDonald's provided the coffee to sit on the other Coffee house porch. The after-rain left great cool breezes and the smiles and memories were warm!

Overall - this Day was Completely Magnificent. Family reminds each other of the close bonds of Love.

I hope your day and the coming week will find the blessings of family - holding life together to rise up again! Thanks be to God.

Abba, Father God,

You have given us Jesus. And in Your Love we want to shepherd the flock of God among us.

Exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have us.

Not for shameful gain, but eagerly. Not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock.


And when the Chief Shepherd appears, Grace to us and peace from our Father God, who is and who was and who is to come.We, who are before His Throne. As Gabriel and stand in His Presence, stand firm. We will receive the unfading crown of glory.

Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you.

Casting all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you.

Stand firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world.

And after you have suffered a little while,
The God of All Grace, Who has called you in His eternal glory in Jesus Christ - Will, Himself, restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.

To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Give us the Good Works You would have us to walk in.

Help us to Seek You First. And in being Renewed
we will see Your Heavenly Kingdom today. Give us This Day.

Give us the Fire within of Your Holy Spirit!
For the USA and Nations to find the unity of peace and Justice for all.
Living Life with Joy and Love.

Redemption
Strength.

Isaiah 2:4 ~ neither shall they learn war anymore

The Video has a nude statue at the end.

May the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my mind, 
be pleasing and acceptable to You,  O Lord,
my Rock and my Redeemer.


When God Looks at His Creation.
His Words are beyond time. God's own Word created Time and He says about our world, yesterday, today and tomorrow: It is Good. It is Good. It is Good. It is Good. It is Good. It is Good. It is Good. It is Good. It is Good. It is Good.

Where did the materials for this art come from?

Cannons. The South's Cannons of the Civil War, were melted down and today are the Nation's Art.

Isaiah 2:4

He shall judge between the nations,

and shall decide disputes for many peoples

And they shall beat their swords into plowshares,

and their spears into pruning hooks

Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,

neither shall they learn war anymore.

I am still learning.
Michelangelo

The greatest artist has no conception which a single block of white marble does not potentially contain within its mass, but only a hand obedient to the mind can penetrate to this image.
Michelangelo


When we remember God's Delight in His Creation -
What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you.
Ralph Waldo Emerson


We believe heart revealed are important.

What do you despise? By this you are truly known.
Michelangelo

Genesis 3:8-11

And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from 
the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 

The Lord God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?” 

And he said, “I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.” 

He said, “Who told you that you were naked?

Many Churches Remind us of the Presence of the Holy Spirit, with a Sanctuary Candle.
Some announce the Presence of Consecrated Host.
Both are saying Light overcomes darkness.

When God asks us where we are, He is asking us to ask ourselves.

Abba, Holy Father,

John 1:12

Yet to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, 

He gave the right to become children of God

Acts 20:32
And now I commend you to God and to the word of his grace,
which is able to build you up
and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

The Word of God draws us up.
To be Better. To Endure. To Nurture. To Heal. To Thrive. To Prevail in Christ Jesus.

Although the present time has suffering, we want the Law to be Equality and Justice for All.

Romans 8:17
And if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ


Matthew 5:17
Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets
I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.


VOTE - contact the Legislatures.
If the people are offended by heroes who gave up to the Greater Good of Unity and survived, then let us vote for art to be placed in the correct spaces. The Great Cold of our past Civil War wasn't healed by gruesome tortures, but the upward call to Unite and Struggle and Fight to Make Right. We make this process today - remove art by Voting. Ask the Legislature to put specific Confederate art
on the Ballot. Orderly, Legal.


Numbers 12:13
So Moses cried out to the LORD, "Please, God, heal her!"


This we pray for this time of great fear, great unrest, to have such healing 
we know Restoration and Renewal.


Father God, Abba,

Let us Find You in Jesus Christ. First.
The Glory of Your Heaven on earth.

The Wonders and Mercies of God Prevail.
For all Nations Recovery given by You, God our Father
Praying Victory and Peace
The Virus to cease.

Luke 21:5-19 ~ your opportunity to bear witness

Happy Father's Day! In the last fifteen years, people say being in your 60's is the new 40's, but evidently Not considering the Chart.

Luke 21:5-19

5 And while some were speaking of the Temple,
How it was adorned with noble stones and offerings, he said, 6 “As for these things that you see, the days will come when there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.” 

7 And they asked him, “Teacher, when will these things be, and what will be the sign when these things are about to take place?” 

8 And he said, “See that you are not led astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he!’ and, ‘The time is at hand!’ Do not go after them. 9 And when you hear of wars and tumults, do not be terrified, for these things must first take place, but the end will not be at once.”

10 Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11 There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences. And there will be terrors and great signs from heaven. 12 But before all this they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors for my name's sake. 

13 This will be your opportunity to bear witness. 

14 Settle it therefore in your minds not to meditate beforehand how to answer, 15 for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which none of your adversaries will be able to withstand or contradict. 16 You will be delivered up even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and some of you they will put to death. 17 You will be hated by all for my name's sake. 

18 But not a hair of your head will perish. 19 By your endurance you will gain your lives.





How was Your Father's Day?

Did you notice what an ultra slow news day today was? Seems as though Father's Day got as much attention as Mother's Day this year!!!

Father's Day. To whom much is given, much is required.


I'm going to Start this on An Upbeat Truth.
In my family, we have collected and remembered our dreams of Heaven. My maternal grandmother, Anita, frequently dreamed of my grandfather in Heaven.  My paternal grandmother, Bit, dreamed of her father and her grandmother. These real dreams are Heaven's Vision and are accompanied by life changing fruit: love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. My visit with my great-aunt Clarice at the very Gates of Heaven, gave a prophetic prayer, the dream occurred in 1995 and was fulfilled in 2018. I have zero doubt seeing your loved one in Heaven with appropriate Holy Spirit Fruit is entirely real.

The last time I saw Daddy, he was in Heaven visiting with me with my Grandmother Bit. We had a marvelous visit and great conversations as we did have for so many, many years. It was time to leave, Daddy said to me, " Some days are pretty rough. I'll be here waiting for you, and you should be glad to know how many, many years it will be from now and your life will be so full - and I will be missing you and waiting for you here, I Love You."

Life is Bear Hunt.

With Life being a Bear Hunt, I know  for a decade, I'd skip Church on Father's Day. While I loved my Daddy, the last 8 years of his life was less than ideal after my parent's divorce. All Stories have two sides and my mother had filed for divorce as life had gotten rocky, as Life always does. My father's behavior had prompted her to file.

1 Corinthians 13

3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.

4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;[b] 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

8 Love never ends.



The work of mankind is to believe Jesus Christ. Perfect Love belongs to God and this is a gift of faith. The rest of us will work on being God's Loving Kindness.

Life has decades of bravery and strength and there are times of fear and failing, where God would have us to have mercy. And as Jude, the Brother of Jesus says, to be polite in the face of being in the presence of evil. The graphic at the top speaks of seasons and the Scriptures speak of seasons. It's not necessarily the end of the world we read of - it's tough times all lives will have. The Scriptures have layers.

Doing the Hard Work with Life Going Forward!

If we are going to talk about, face the truth of equality and opportunity - let's talk about - Men and Fatherhood.

If we forge ourselves saying we are a rock solid chain of mankind pulling each other up - let's talk about doing the hard work and righting what we can do.

The Year my Parents Divorced
My ten year old brother began to be afraid of accidentally being poisoned or choking on food. As a suddenly latch key child - a dear friend stepped in to being family - to provide a safe haven for him to have after school. We had an adult aged male in his 40's decide I didn't need college, he was going to move in with us. (He did not and was not at all part of our lives.) Which was really awful, considering no one could exactly remember his first name as he continued to just show up. My mother and her brother were at extreme odds suddenly. My father didn't want us having sympathy from his mother and asked us to quit speaking to our Grandmother - which didn't happen.

And I know divorced fathers who give up on their children and say, "I will in Heaven." Let's examine this for a second. Not all political discussion is about Politics. This isn't policy - this is personal broiling anger about a dad leaving and not coming back. And when you know this story - you just don't go where Angels fear to tread.

And is this factual?

Biblically... Yes.

Ephesians 3:14-15

14 for this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16 I ask that out of the riches of His glory He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being.

Vikings love Valhalla. War, conquests, beheadings, violent crime - good times. Jesus isn't That. If your Aunt Mussolini is hell on wheels and has made misery - Jesus is not putting her with you in Heaven. You weren't really family on earth.

Why we do Justice with Mercy and Walk Humbly with God...

Jude 1

You, beloved, building yourselves up

in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit

Keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ 
that leads to eternal life.

22 And have mercy on those who doubt

23 save others by snatching them out of the fire;
to others show mercy with fear, hating even the garment stained by the flesh.

24 Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless 
before the presence of His glory with great joy.

To the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, 
be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, 
before all time and 
now and forever. Amen.

God's Word is Specific.

We ask for more Heaven on earth, by God's own invitation. We provide what we can of Mercy, Peace and Love.

His Apostles witness to knowing God:

1 John 1:1
That which was from the beginning,
which we have heard,
which we have seen with our eyes,
which we have looked at and our hands have touched
--this we proclaim concerning the Word of life.


God is proclaimed to be "God of Love." "God of encouragement." Not god of ignore. Not god of someday. Not god of pie in the sky by and by. God says pray constantly. He wants our conversations constantly. Not god tried once. Jesus is our Road to Emmaus. He walks with us to find what is warm. God is seeking and giving the warmth of Joy. Love. Fellowship. Encouragement. Love.


Luke 1 tells us of fathers being brought to love sons.
 In this Pandemic and Equality Time - when we want all of life to become warmer as we defeat this gigantic cold virus - - -  why can't we say the time is right for all children to encourage fathers?
And fathers to love and help and encourage all children.

Malachi 4:6

And he will turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the land with a decree of utter destruction.

Utter Destruction - isn't all that we hope for.

Micah 6:8

He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

Micah said we all are going to do Justice, with Mercy and Find Humility as we walk with God.
