Luke 9 ~ Proclaim the Kingdom of God and heal

 









Luke 9


And He called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, 2 and He sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal.  

And He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey, no staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not have two tunics. 4 And whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart. 5 And wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them.” 6 And they departed and went through the villages, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.

7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had been raised from the dead, 8 by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the prophets of old had risen. 9 Herod said, “John I beheaded, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” And he sought to see him.

10 On their return the apostles told him all that they had done. 
And he took them and withdrew apart to a town called Bethsaida. 11 When the crowds learned it, they followed him, and he welcomed them and spoke to them of the kingdom of God and cured those who had need of healing. 12 Now the day began to wear away, and the twelve came and said to him, “Send the crowd away to go into the surrounding villages and countryside to find lodging and get provisions, for we are here in a desolate place.” 13 But he said to them, “You give them something to eat.” They said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish—unless we are to go and buy food for all these people.” 14 For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.” 15 And they did so, and had them all sit down. 16 And taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and said a blessing over them. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd. 17 And they all ate and were satisfied. And what was left over was picked up, twelve baskets of broken pieces.

18 Now it happened that as he was praying alone, the disciples were with him. 
And he asked them, “Who do the crowds say that I am?” 19 And they answered, “John the Baptist. But others say, Elijah, and others, that one of the prophets of old has risen.” 20 Then he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” And Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”

21 And he strictly charged and commanded them to tell this to no one, 22 saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised.”

23 And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. 24 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. 25 For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself? 26 For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels. 27 But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God.”

28 Now about eight days after these sayings He took with him Peter and John and James and went up on the mountain to pray. 

29 And as He was praying, the appearance of His face was altered, and His clothing became dazzling white. 30 And behold, two men were talking with him, Moses and Elijah, 31 who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. 32 Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they became fully awake they saw his glory and the two men who stood with him. 

33 And as the men were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good that we are here. Let us make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah”—not knowing what he said. 34 As he was saying these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. 

35 And a Voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, my Chosen One; listen to him!” 36 And when the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silent and told no one in those days anything of what they had seen.

37 On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great crowd met him. 
38 And behold, a man from the crowd cried out, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child. 39 And behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out. It convulses him so that he foams at the mouth, and shatters him, and will hardly leave him. 40 And I begged your disciples to cast it out, but they could not.” 41 Jesus answered, “O faithless and twisted generation, how long am I to be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.” 42 While he was coming, the demon threw him to the ground and convulsed him. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father. 43 And all were astonished at the majesty of God.

But while they were all marveling at everything he was doing, 
Jesus said to his disciples, 44 “Let these words sink into your ears: The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men.” 45 But they did not understand this saying, and it was concealed from them, so that they might not perceive it. And they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

46 An argument arose among them as to which of them was the greatest. 
47 But Jesus, knowing the reasoning of their hearts, took a child and put him by his side 48 and said to them, “Whoever receives this child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For he who is least among you all is the one who is great.”

49 John answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not follow with us.” 

50 But Jesus said to him, “Do not stop him, for the one who is not against you is for you.”

51 When the days drew near for Him to be taken up, He set his face to go to Jerusalem. 
52 And he sent messengers ahead of him, who went and entered a village of the Samaritans, to make preparations for him. 53 But the people did not receive him, because his face was set toward Jerusalem. 54 And when his disciples James and John saw it, they said, “Lord, do you want us to tell fire to come down from heaven and consume them?” 55 But he turned and rebuked them. 56 And they went on to another village.

57 As they were going along the road, someone said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.” 58 And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.” 59 To another he said, “Follow me.” But he said, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.” 60 And Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead. But as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.” 61 Yet another said, “I will follow you, Lord, but let me first say farewell to those at my home.” 62 Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”




Plowing a Path isn't subtle.  
Jesus did this with His Choice to be Found on the Sea of Galilee.  When Jesus set His path for Jerusalem, all knew.

When Jesus was begotten, one of His first delights to be Son of God was to know the Master Workmanship of His Father. Jesus knew God was going to share. Just as the Disciples knew this in the first of Luke's 9th Gospel Chapter.

In all the Sincerity and Transparency of God Himself, Herod was confused. 
And this could be deliberately so.



When Jesus charged Peter to not tell anyone Jesus is the Son of God, we know the Power of Scriptures, knowing Jesus identity was discussed before He drew Disciples to Himself. John 1. Jesus was so Transparent, He didn't need Peter to explain. Jesus was letting the Plowed Field Speak for itself.

The paths of the plowed field are easy to follow.

Let's make our plowed path so filled with Believing God is God, and we pray, we have fewer fears to be held back with. We live with our Hope and seeking God first.



Plowed fields have chaff. Chaff was well known in Israel. And in the Scriptures.


While Making a Living, what was considered garbage would get all over the Threshing Floor. It would land on anything with perspiration, settle in clothes and just act as a major irritant. It was considered a Beast of Burden in Life. Until it was used to feed the Livestock.

Making use of the irritants to improve Life.











Hold The Cross so High in your Life

Your Hopes, Your Ideals Shine




Practical Prayer

Mother Angelica always said, "Pray and pay your light bill." 

When Game of Thrones came out, it was really, really raunchy. The more people watched, the script became so filled with dynamic purpose, the plot became richer and the sex was not lurid, wanting to encourage more viewers. And the writer of Game of Thrones, George R R Martin, let everyone know he was thrilled to do so.

Cancel Culture na. Clickbait is within your reach.
Social Media is just like Game of Thrones. 
Social Media doesn't own you, you own Social Media.

 Empower your Belief Structure, Your Prayer Life with what your Prayer life and Life want to see.

The Scriptures are Real, The Scriptures are True.
The Scriptures are Real and True. 


Philippians 4:8

Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, 
whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue 
and if there is anything praiseworthy
—meditate on these things” 


A friend of mine on Facebook was not only given the small "x," the box warning, about Election rules, but she also delighted in it.  Until a Facebook employee took time to chew her out, rather largely, for her numerous, numerous, numerous ideas about the election. And when this happened, we befriended the Senators on Facebook and simply showed the Senators by tagging the United States Senators, the comments we were all shocked and appalled with. A personal Facebook rebuke for her politics, by an unknown to her Facebook employee. Put to the halt status. 

This married couple will opt out of Facebook. But they - Won.
Her posts began to be uncensored.
Feel free to befriend your Representative and Congress Person and @ tag them with your opinions.
Even Better, send them email. Routinely.


If you love the News and read it voraciously since the Pandemic and the Election, you have the power to control the News stories of interest if you simply refuse to listen to them. Click off. And email Congress - easily done. Instead of Clickbait, email Congress. Even AOC is going to change her opinions when faced with her job loss.

We The People - has - plenty of Voice. 
We The People pray. 
An incredible percentage of people pray. 
And your views and your clickbait and your time on TV count. So do Congressional emails.

Clickbait No More.
The Stock Market is seeing this now. With huge, publicly traded, non-client-pleasers who thought they could dictate to the consumer. Never be toppled - is toppled.

If you don't like the direction of the Nation, don't clickbait and then Let Congress Know.
Don't just complain, be a mover and shaker.  Pray and if Twitter offendeth thee, pluck it out of thy life.




The News and Social Media will do exactly what Game of Thrones did. 

You, We The People, make the ratings of not hand-wringing worry.  Drive the Click Watch Reviews to what You find. Currently -  two of the largest, publicly-traded corporations are famously changing because they didn't remember to please their customers. Please, also remember, if your YouTube favorite is way off the charts doom gloom give them a Vacation.

Acts 5:12-26 ~ Look! †

 When the opportunity comes to speak for Jesus and the Word of God, do we take the opportunity when it is distinctly uncomfortable?

Yes, I guess so. This week has been a week of discomfort for all of us. And yet, the Scriptures relate to the day and have something to say. Similarities are present, but not the exact, same thing.

After Jesus died, The Temple was filled with the multitudes. Thanks to Josephus, we know adding up the Sacrifices Josephus' accounting gives, the multitude in The Temple of Jerusalem was 2 million people.


Acts 5:12-26 ~ Look! The men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people.” Then the captain with the officers went and brought them, but not by force, for they were afraid of being stoned by the people.




Painting, by Tadema

Acts 5:12-26



Now many signs and wonders were regularly done among the people by the hands of the apostles. And they were all together in Solomon's Portico. 13 None of the rest dared join them, but the people held them in high esteem. 14 And more than ever believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women, 15 so that they even carried out the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mats, that as Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on some of them. 16 The people also gathered from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those afflicted with unclean spirits, and they were all healed.

17 But the high priest rose up, and all who were with him (that is, the party of the Sadducees), and filled with jealousy 18 they arrested the apostles and put them in the public prison. 19 But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors and brought them out, and said, 20 “Go and stand in the temple and speak to the people all the words of this Life.” 21 And when they heard this, they entered the temple at daybreak and began to teach.

Now when the high priest came, and those who were with him, they called together the council and all the senate of the people of Israel and sent to the prison to have them brought. 22 But when the officers came, they did not find them in the prison, so they returned and reported, 23 “We found the prison securely locked and the guards standing at the doors, but when we opened them we found no one inside.” 24 Now when the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were greatly perplexed about them, wondering what this would come to. 25 And someone came and told them, “Look! The men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people.” 26 Then the captain with the officers went and brought them, but not by force, for they were afraid of being stoned by the people.



Even in the Syrian suburb, the little country of Judea, the Roman Empire flooded vast fortunes into the country. In the plentiful abundance of life, Pontius Pilate regularly had riots with the Jews.

A Rabbi from Lycantra was extremely upset to see all this. He feared. He is an eyewitness beyond the Gospels and Josephus to the First Easter.


The United States Congress is 16.5 Acres. A big building. 
The population of the world in 2021 is 7.8 Billion People.

On the first Easter, 2 million people took over the Temple. 33 A.D., The Second Temple, a massive project of Herod surrounding a building interior coating of Gold, had been being improved upon for 75  intense years of construction. The Temple wasn't ever really closed, but you can bet they had areas marked off with ropes and would only have loved to have known about large plastic, orange cones.

 At the Time of the First Easter, The Temple of Jerusalem was 36 Acres.
The Population of the world in 33 AD was 230,882, 000. 



Below, the Temple, The Royal Portico and the Hulda Gate are 36 acres. The drawing points out the surrounding buildings.


Temple Mount is and was Massive.

Psalm 118

24 This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. 

25 Save us, we pray, O LORD! O LORD, we pray, give us success! 



Is 36 Acres rather a guess? No. Not at all.

Is there really an Indiana Jones? Charles Warren handled the actual Jack the Ripper case with the best tools England had. He was invited to do something very unusual. To climb under the Temple archaeology, see what was intact and report on the Gates.

Can you imagine yourselves being a rioter? 

Once, at the age of 6, joined all my neighborhood children help tear down a lovely home being carefully constructed over an empty lot with a creek. We had enjoyed the lot, with huge Willow trees and large rocks. It was always shady, and you would always meet more kids seeking relief from the Texas summer. A day of Protest and at the age of 6 years old, we were looters and rioters. As we all carried home a chunk of the building materials, I told this group of little kids, teenagers and tweens, we'd had fun. We should do more things together. Everyone agreed. Maybe softball.

The builders of the home hired a guard to protect the property; my three other six-year-old friends and I became very good friends with the kindly, elderly man. After a few weeks, the man asked us did we know who had looted. All 3 little blond heads said no. The man explained to us that it was wrong, and it had been an expensive vandalism. I went home to discuss it with my mother.

She said she didn't remember  the board I had dragged home, didn't I put it back. I said yes, we didn't really have a need for a board. Actually, one of the teenagers helped me unload the wood by taking it off my hands.  She asked me how many teenagers had been involved, and I said every kid in the neighborhood had been there. She said something to the effect she knew teenagers were behind it all. I said not really, everyone showed up, for something to do.

Adults were told to look in their backyard for building materials. Some materials returned. It never happened again, even later when more houses were built. A lot of the building material was just gone.

This was parents willing to talk to other parents. It took some frank discussions.


Later, in college I dated someone from my childhood neighborhood. I found out a man asked teenagers to work for him. My date told me the theft from our garage was this man and his hired teenagers. The almost theft of our boat was this man and his teenagers. They had tried to hire my date, who had a very wise father and escaped. This man had put together the day at the house. He wasn't for protests, he was a thief, and he was a ruin to teenagers. Not every unplanned event is innocent. 

We have to be diligent and not swept up into wrong.
Really. Wrong is going to try to press us. Don't go there.




After Hurricane Ike, in Houston, grocery stores opened for minute time frames in the morning. HEB allowed shoppers to go in, in groups of 18 shoppers. If you'd seen the mayhem in the stores before the Hurricane, you'd understand why. So, every day, the electricity was off in town, Edward, my husband, would head over to HEB. Then on the third morning, a police cruiser showed up as the forty or so people waited for the store to open. The police car opened the mike and said, "HEB was unable to open this morning." People were a little surprised and looked at the police car in astonishment. No one said a word. So, the Police car repeated the message and said it was time to disperse. After a moment's pause, the humorous police said, "Time to disperse, we think you all will riot." The very dangerous suburban engineer types looked at each other in frank astonishment. One man looked at the others and said, "I'm Not Rioting! Are you?"

Are we interested in the multitudes who flooded the Temple?






A model of Solomon's Portico, from the First Temple until the Second Temple fell 70 A.D. And the back corner is Antonia Fortress, Herod's Fortress complete with jail.

Many signs and wonders were regularly done among the people by the hands of the apostles


 





 

Surely, the Temple officials, the bureaucracy were stunned. So much so - they let the rabble in to the Temple discussing Jesus. Worshiping Jesus.




Can you imagine this? It's frankly incredible, but accurate. The Temple officials let the followers of Jesus Christ the LORD, meet in the Temple grounds. They had signs up saying foreigners would be killed beyond certain points.

"No foreigner is to enter within the balustrade and embankment around the sanctuary. Whoever is caught will have himself to blame for his death which follows." Both Greek (above and there are 2 Greek signs discovered) and Latin versions of this warning were posted at regular intervals (around the balustrade). The engraved block of limestone is about 22 inches high by 33 inches long. Each letter was nearly 1 1/2 inches high and originally painted with red ink against the white limestone. Part of another sign was unearthed in 1936. Currently, located in the Archaeological Museum of Istanbul, Turkey. It is a fairly well-known and understood archaeological find, labeled CIJ 2.1400

Rather more obscure is CIJ 2.1404 The Theodotus Inscription. Not all the Second (or First) Temple is completely understood. 75 centimeters long.

The Theodotus inscription (CIJ 2.1404) was discovered in a Jerusalem 
cistern by R. Weill in 1913. It dates to the first century AD prior to the Temple's destruction. Significantly, the inscription reveals that three generations of priests served as the "rulers of the synagogue" (archisynagôgoi - the Greek word) mentioned in the dedication. Translation:

Theodotus, (son) of Vettenus, priest and
archisynagôgos, son of an archisynagôgos,
grandson of an archisynagôgos, built
the synagogue for the reading of the law and
the teaching of the commandments, and
the guest-chamber and the rooms and the
water installations for lodging for those needing them
from abroad, which his fathers, the elders
and Simonides founded





And they were all together in Solomon's Portico. 


During the night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors and brought them out, and said, “Go and stand in the temple and speak to the people all the words of this Life.”

"Look! The men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people.”



 Light of Jesus Christ - Shine. We Need You.





Abba, Father God,

Before You all desires are known and no secrets are hid.
Cleanse the thoughts of our heart
in the Glory of Jesus Christ and His Highest Name.

In His Righteousness, the prayers of the Righteous Availeth Much.


This New Year of 2021, Father God, it is effortless to give in to concerns.
And when I have concerns, my peace is to tell You, I'm worried, and I'm going to stay worried
until Peace decides to arrive. Sometimes not suppressing anxiety gives us permission just to be a little worried. And we feel better than putting jumping spring snakes back into the peanut can.

We will probably overcome a lot of our fears this year.
And some will ease out in time.

Historically, Father God, after Pandemic
people have strident emotions and don't bother with logic.
Speak calm to the wind and waves.
We all know You will Speak Peace again.

Dwell in me, Father God,
Help me to see more Heaven on earth
and be more Heaven on earth.
And in Joy of Your Strength, to seek You First.

Help us to See More Heaven by Seeing our Blessings,
We have a Vaccine, Covid will be leaving.
The Holidays are now part of the past and the time to have less Covid may arrive soon.
We can be diligent again, in our safety, with far less weariness.

We have fewer Holiday related things to do and can pray more.
Believing Like Corrie Ten Baum, we are in the Hands of our Loving Father.

We can choose Joy and we can choose Prayer.
We can fully recognize Pandemic brings out the worst in brains, and have Mercy and
more diligent intelligence.

We can renew our ideas and thoughts and not be told.
We can be grateful.

Psalm 105
Look to the Lord and His strength;
seek His face always.

5 Remember the wonders he has done,
his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced,
6 you his servants, the descendants of Abraham,
his chosen ones, the children of Jacob.


And Heaven and earth rejoice, and Heaven and earth Rejoice.
Oh Heaven and Heaven and Heaven and earth Rejoice.

Father God Fill us with Your Love
Let the Holy Spirit Work in Us.

Bless those we Love with Your Light and Life.
Jesus the Only Son of His Father.

Abba, Father God,
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

For as we share abundantly in Christ's sufferings, so
through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too.

For everything that was written in the past was written for our instruction, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures, we might have hope.

Now may the God of endurance and encouragement grant you harmony
with one another in Christ Jesus, so that with one mind and one voice you may
glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

In Jesus Christ,
The Ark of the Covenant is Within
Father God, Dwell within us and
those we Love.

Jesus help us in this Nation to be in Your Word and more Joyful.
Covered in God's Love,
President Donald Trump
Vice President Mike Pence
The Presidential Team
Dr. Anthony Fauci, Dr. Robert Redfield, Dr. Deborah Birx
and their families.
Governor Abbott and all 50 Governors and Legislatures.
Today and always Senator Tim Scott,
The end of trouble surrounding this Virus.


For Elliott and HIS continued Healing, to avoid this virus and
his loving family praying and helping him and Harby.
We believe Elliott is healed.
We pray for Dee and Wayne and their Kristy and David.

Father, the Truth, the Way and the Life for our Nation we pray.

We continue to pray for the Safety of All the Nation.

Thank You for rain and cooler temperatures on the Gulf of Mexico for us all.
Please continue to bless us. Amen in Jesus.

About scripture-for-today.blogspot.com/

We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He has saved all who call upon His name and rely on Him for His Grace. The Scriptures are living & active and are for understanding the Lord Almighty. Biblical readings are chosen from the Ecumenical Christian Church and the Nicene Council, 325 A.D., approved Apocrypha. People remember not just from reading, but by sight and orally- an image has been added as well as audio readings. God tends to link the passages together with fascinates - this blogger, Anne-Laurel Gardere

A simple blog, scripture-for-today.blogspot

This blog is pretty simple, but for a reason. This blog isn't about agenda or me, it is for the joy and love to found by reading the Scriptures. Ultimately, it is you and the Lord.

The Scriptures are Father God's letter to you. He wanted you to know more, to know He loves you.

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. <><
