Matthew 9:35-10:1 ~ His Harvest Field

How Beautiful the Feet

Matthew 9:35-10:1

Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. 38 Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”

10 And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every affliction


We all are in the same direction - we are ascending to Jesus Christ the Lord!

Father God says we all have good works created for our gifts and talents.
Collectively we have virtues - we love our children and we want to be effective!
Let's think on being Very Effective for Jesus Christ and having His blessings equip our lives in Amazing Wonders of His Love.

Our Hero Jesus calls us "Friend", we know we want to help Our Shepherd! 

And invite every blessing of His in every aspect of our lives.

Jesus Himself joins us in prayer and prays with us: 

Abba Father God,

Hebrews 13:21

May he equip you with all you need for doing his will. May he produce in you, through the power of Jesus Christ, every good thing that is pleasing to him. All glory to him forever and ever! 

Amen.

The 12 Gates of Heaven are Open - God has those Gates open for us.

 Jesus said, The Kingdom of Heaven Is At Hand.  When we are cultivating Fruit we are  "Joy, Peace, Love, Goodness."

How will we prosper in Father God?

If we are bringing forth the Son of God, we should lead by our walk in Life.

Are we encouragers? Jesus convinces us. Paul writes again and again and again and again and again of how much he loves his flock.

Ripe for prayer? 

The Early Church swept in. SWEPT IN LIKE A WIND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. 

Prayer was Needed!

This is how we tell the Kingdom of God is at hand:

James 5:16
The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.

Isaiah 35:5
Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall hear.


Jesus is Proclaiming - Loudly - Pray It Like You Mean It!!!

And when we get together and pray - we are so privileged and grateful
to participate in a room where God has placed us - The Kingdom of Heaven - the always open and His Throne - is - at hand. When two or more pray, He is there. 

A GRATEFUL SPIRIT TOWARDS GOD AND HIS ACTIVE PLAN IN OUR LIVES.
GOD IS A SOVEREIGN AND LIVING, GOOD GOD.

How will we look at God's Word and Effectively Apply what we read to our specific lives, our specific path and draw all we need for the Fruit of God to bloom and grow and create Joy, Peace, Love, Patience, Goodness?

How will take Christian radio and apply this? How will we listen to the Sermons, the small groups and draw the Goodness of God into all of our lives?

We must do something Jesus told us about.
Find your areas of comfort, comfort, comfort. The Holy Spirit IS A COMFORTER.

And in this Comfort, you will feel comfort and joy to share God's Love. Your cup runneth over. 

Satan will accuse us of our failures and leave us there. Jesus is Father God running to you - as you get on His Path. Jesus is the Encourager. Jesus is the Strengthener. Jesus is the Builder. Jesus is the Goodness of God made manifest. Jesus is even indignant when we ask Him, "Are you willing?" Jesus replies, Kindly, Strongly, Affirmatively in indignation, "I AM WILLING."






Father God willingly has so much HE Desires and Delights to show us, but we must be willing to look into his Word with open eyes. 

Ask the right questions for your life and your circumstance. God has not lost your address - He knows all your numbers. Stay in the facts of God's Word given. This is the PATH and the Nature of God Himself.

Once you have full understanding to the Height, width, broadness of God's Love - The deeper you dig, the more gold you’ll find. The Truth Will Set You Free in God's Meaningful Word.

Write down your important observations. This is your heart to Father God and His answers.

ALWAYS ASK GOD FOR HELP FROM THE PEOPLE HE HAS GIVEN YOU.


Talk It Over - where you share life. With Godly, Godly, Godly people.

PRAY!

Eat together, bless the time and the people given. Give thanks! Nurture one another.

Deal gently, generously, kindly together.


Ask the simple questions, always ask the simple questions. Start there.
Now ask why this interests you.
What do you feel? Ask Father God to help you. Feelings are ALL OVER THE BIBLE. This is the Go To In Honesty Place. God sometimes simply says, "Forsake wrath." And we find trusting in Him, Peace.

Jesus is the Immediate Messiah. He gives Immediately. And then Jesus says, "Days may come." When we wait on God.  Then The Bible is COMPLICATED and Messy and Helps.

How would you explain your answer to a non-Christian friend or neighbor?
WE DELIGHT TOGETHER IN THE NAME OF JESUS. What inspires them to feel God. And then again maybe listening is the answer.

Do you really agree? Why? If we Confront Our Disbelief - We Grow.

Encourage each other in Father God.

How will we effectively see our prayers answered?

1. Gratitude for Father God's goodness.

2. Gratitude God covers us with His Goodness.

3. His Kingdom is truly at hand, you have Your Father's attention. This Scriptural Power says you have His blessings to bring more Heaven to earth - to your life.

4. Believing all good and needed gifts are from Father God and He will continue to provide.

5. Being completely honest with God in our areas - we are not good in. Sin. Flaws.

6. And in dealing with others, agree that sometimes after forgiveness not to live rent free in our lives, thoughts and troubles - give cheek to forgive, understand, move forward with a laugh with compassion and/or walk away. Remind yourself - this is a child of Father God's.(Compassion for Father God!)

7. Temptation - circumstance, and in today's world - taking the Word of God to bring you Up, not to comfort you in being stagnant.

8. Protection and in Wisdom - Going where Jesus would go - in safety.

9. The purpose of Study of God's Word and Prayer - is His Glory and His Kingdom - where we dwell in Joy! Because our Father delights. He Delights. In Giving us - His Kingdom.

10. Saying the name of this Love - with Joy - Jesus the Lord.
Jesus The Lord.
Jesus The Lord !!!

Matthew 5:7, 43-48 ~ Perfect, as Your Heavenly Father is perfect †

 

We wonder where Father God's Mercy is when we suffer. Winter always arrives. Most of us consider Winter to be more difficult to live.  God expects we work to survive and thrive in Winter. And sometimes we have loved and enjoyed Winter. And some years find Winter was milder than we expected.

Matthew 5:7, 43-48

Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 

44 But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. 

For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 

46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? 48 You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Matthew 5's Portion isn't a walk in the park, isn't a sunny day, isn't for grins. 

People when given the "jump 15 feet straight up in the air idea",  worry. And begin to want to stay away from "Religious Things." The Gospels have to give all the Good News. But the effort to ask, seek and find come from us all. People think and fear they have failed to live to God's High Standards. Then  wonder if God is in this and is He really going to help in times of Suffering or Guilt.  Because we want our Living Jesus to apply His Love to our lives. Make us want to grow to Jesus. And inspire us to know Helping Him is going to work instead of another effort of, "Gee I just can't." Jesus helps ~~~ worry. 

And we might want to consider DL Moody's quote:

I'm not sure I remember being perfect for a day. A couple of hours. Maybe not.

Jesus tells us only God is Good. This is comfort to these Verses.

The Scriptures arrange the verses. 
Carefully. With a skill of God Himself. God doesn't want us to feel impossibly burdened forever. Not glum in the Bible. Remember the Rich Ruler who went away feeling lost because he couldn't dot every iota of God's Word and Hope. Jesus said he would be saved, God does the Impossible. 

Church parking lots are sometimes seen as angry places after a Sermon. To feel impossibly challenged isn't the aim of God. Jesus left His Children many times with the phrase, "He healed them all."

God wants Salvation in Jesus for the entire world. 

The Exodus proves this. God tells us He plans for our Hope and Future. This forgiveness is mentioned with rain and sun. Sunrise, sunset. Wisely. Time as in the Prodigal Son. With the assurance, we can forsake anger. Faith. Believing forgiveness will arrive in totality. Giving a little bit of a start to forgiveness with Faith. Being dedicated to forgiveness for our health, happiness and the Way, Truth and Life.

Dedication in winter. To believe and plan and forgive again and again until the roots sink in well.

And if we smile and ask Father God, like a friend we nag to loan us bread at midnight, what would we "pray for" in this? 

David would say... Mercy. David asks God to be Merciful 24 times, not even looking at variations on words similar to Mercy. The anointed of God asks for God's Mercy upon himself, Israel and for Peace.

Roman Emperors saw enough of these Verses of Matthew 5, to sense a difference, a change. 
Claudius didn't enjoy mystery in his reign. He wanted no mysterious kindness. What if you couldn't command cruelty in war or justice or even the Coliseum games?  Claudius does not go with the Victory when we consider History. The Merciful arrive Victorious. This is what stays with us, wherever we go.

The Victory in Jesus Christ.

Boundaries of Love. Our hearts will love and unlove. And Love again. Love grows with forgiveness. The world isn't static in sunny days.  Believing there is Hope. Forgiveness sometimes causes such relief, possibilities exist again. 

Opens up Paths we didn't know would be there. New boundaries in sunny days, and winter days.

Love is patient and kind. Love is work. 

Love is not without a need for response. It's not to be taken lightly.  Practice makes perfect.

Living Water for all season, soaking in and raising us Up.

We talk about Evangelism. This is part of these Verses. 

Love takes it's time to be diligent, in all seasons, Love will remain and be warm. Love allows God given boundaries of trust and respect for the individual, not demanding our own way. Won't go to sleep once the hand is to the plow. And will do the work.  

My Grandmother prayed for her son for sixty years. The Studies I've read on Evangelism, say this can take years. This can be immediate and miraculous. Those sixty years of prayers were found fruitful.

Be in the place to say, "I'm going to pray for you, if that is alright." 

Love,  the seeds we plant. God waters. God gives the sunshine. God gives the growth. And Jesus is immediate. We expect God to do the Salvation.

Mostly we put down the seeds.

Abba, Father God,

Today was another Day.

My mother had been ill with Alzheimer's for many, many, many years.

It's been very unpleasant. And isolating from rude behavior.

In October, my mother was admitted into Medical City in Dallas. Mother had a good attending Physician for her entire stay, who said her immune system was failing her. 

Because of this, she would have a much more pleasant passing, 

and more immediate passing than Alzheimer's allows.

Today, her doctor has called for Hospice.

The years will fall behind and the good memories will float up.

And we will remember the good childhood years. 

The Mother who ran a home based on Jesus and goodness.

The Sunlight will visit from on High and the perfect days of 

the past will live again, Our Father God is Perfect.

His Kingdom is Perfect.

God is Good.

As I looked for photos for prayer and praying in an office  (because a friend of ours who has done so well in insurance says his office phone rings; he is speaking with the scared, and the injured and those in need). He hears their need and listens. And he says they depend upon him almost like a Pastor. After the events are discussed, he says quietly, "Can I pray for you?" And few turn him down, and he says a sincere prayer, touching soul and heart. 

And many have told him their faith suddenly has heart and life again.

This is the Book of Acts of the Apostles. Alive.

And as I looked for photos of prayer in the office, 

the only photos to arrive are of President Trump in the Oval Office.

 I offer prayer for him. And hope you will join me in the goodness of your heart.

When we pray, we reach Father God and He is perfect.

Father, we ask in the Name of Jesus

for Your Word of Love and Healing to 

Heal us all. This is a Pandemic and we are still getting the Daily Damage Reports.

Jesus is needed.

Dwell in us.

Help us to see Heaven

and be Heaven.

The Lord Jesus for us all.

Now and in the hour of our passing on.

Each day.

Amen in Jesus. Amen.

Psalm 61 ~ to the Rock, that is Higher than I

Psalm 61

Hear my cry, O God,

    listen to my prayer;

2 from the end of the earth I call to you

    when my heart is faint.

Lead me to the rock

    that is higher than I,

3 for you have been my refuge,

    a strong tower against the enemy.

4 Let me dwell in your tent forever!

    Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings! Selah

5 For you, O God, have heard my vows;

    you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

6 Prolong the life of the king;

    may his years endure to all generations!

7 May he be enthroned forever before God;

    appoint steadfast love and faithfulness to watch over him!

8 So will I ever sing praises to your name,

    as I perform my vows day after day.

Today was the worst day. 

Everything that was a ten-minute job became more than two and a half hours. And really in Pandemic, you find people do not want the burden of someone else's situation. It felt like the Pandemic and the computer problems wouldn't end. Life forever. I had a great big, huge cry. Usually, when I cry, I guess I cry about once a month, I feel better. I didn't today.

I sat with Edward and told him all my situation, and his own eyes had tears. To be loved for who you are is great beyond measure.

Capernaum Jesus saw from the boat!

Sermons are helpful, an Anglican Priest in Canada wrote me and sent me a Sermon he felt would be particularly helpful for me. It was about the Exodus and all the hardships Israel has suffered, endured, fought and thrived.

Joel 2:32 

 And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. 

For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those who escape, 

as the Lord has said, 

and among the survivors shall be those whom the Lord calls.

Romans 11:5 

So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace.

For the times we feel completely discouraged, probably we don't believe the sky is falling, but we do wonder if the Lord's Blessings will be Abundant in Comfort. If we skimp and scrape by. Will the waves be too high. But enduring makes perseverance and hope.

Ed's Sermon from Canada said that when we come to the end of our rope, God is going to provide the Narrow Path. And voilà, we have our fear. Beans on toast for Emotional Joy. Peanut Butter for Nutrition. But the truth is, just when the darkness is closing in, a candle will do. And with the time spent giving thanks for the Light, we find God is making The Path, The Joy, The Comfort, The Nutrition. The Way, The Truth and The Life for the Joy in, "Don't worry little flock, it is the Father's Joy to give you The Kingdom."

One of the reasons we love Peter, you know he knows he has blown the whole deal. So badly. And he doesn't try to walk on water again, but he goes exactly where the Word of Life is in Jesus. +

Abba, Father God,

We will be still and let You fight for us.

We will listen to the God given still, small voice.

We will do what You give us to do, we can do all things in

Christ Who Strengthens us.

Every day, not missing a day, 

Dwell in us and know us.

Help us to see more Heaven on earth.

And we will grow like the seeds in the soil, watered,

tended mercifully by Jesus. 

 Ephesians 1:10 

To be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment

 – to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth 

under Christ.

And it isn't praying for the Republic far away,

where revenge and power seem to be scheduled first.

We are praying for all the people making up the whole of the Nation.

While seeing what we don't want to see, we will provide and give

 to one another a better place.

Where anger and condemnation ring out to shock and upset,

we pray for the Historic minds shaken like Lave Lamps for the last two years 

squeezed into 13 months

We pray for Hope. We pray for Faith. We pray for Love.

Healing in Jesus Christ.

Personal Strength.

Sharing Strength.

We hope to have and give to You, Father God,

a Year for You to have Joy

and Pleasure in us.

Proverbs 8 

 30 Then I was a skilled craftsman at His side, 

and His delight day by day, 

rejoicing always in His presence. 

31 I was rejoicing in His whole world, 

delighting together in the sons of men. 

32 Now therefore, my sons, listen to me, 

for blessed are those who keep my ways.

We Pray for Elliott

for all healing and Joy.

in

The Highest Name of Jesus Christ

Amen
