Acts 4:13-31 ~ Boldness

 


Jesus had 72 Disciples
and then Jesus told about the New Covenant
regarding Kosher laws
and the Communion of Jesus
most of the Disciples left

12 Disciples remained, we know.



Jesus asked Peter if he was leaving.
Peter replied, "No, Lord, only You have the Words of Life."



Jesus traveled to Caesarea, telling these few men about the Church of Jesus Christ,
enduring to all ages, never being overcome, even at the gates of hell.


The Disciples were known to be bewildered and afraid,
but none of them told Jesus, "What Church, suuuuure."

Acts 4:13-31

Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated, common men, they were astonished. And they recognized that they had been with Jesus. 

14 But seeing the man who was healed standing beside them, they had nothing to say in opposition. 15 But when they had commanded them to leave the council, they conferred with one another, 16 saying, “What shall we do with these men? For that a notable sign has been performed through them is evident to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it. 17 But in order that it may spread no further among the people, let us warn them to speak no more to anyone in this name.” 

18 So they called them and charged them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. 

19 But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge, 20 for we cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard.” 

21 And when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, because of the people, for all were praising God for what had happened. 22 For the man on whom this sign of healing was performed was more than forty years old.

23 When they were released, they went to their friends and reported what the chief priests and the elders had said to them. 24 And when they heard it, they lifted their voices together to God and said, “Sovereign Lord, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in them, 25 who through the mouth of our father David, your servant, said by the Holy Spirit,

“‘Why did the Gentiles rage,
26 The kings of the earth set themselves,
    and the rulers were gathered together,
    against the Lord and against his Anointed’—
    and the peoples plot in vain?

27 for truly in this city there were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, 28 to do whatever your hand and your plan had predestined to take place. 29 And now, Lord, look upon their threats and grant to your servants to continue to speak your word with all boldness, 30 while you stretch out your hand to heal, and signs and wonders are performed through the name of your holy servant Jesus.” 

31 And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.

Hebrews 6:18 
Thus by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, 
we who have fled 
to take hold of the hope 
set before us may be strongly encouraged.


Matthew 19:26
Jesus looked at them and said, "With human beings this is impossible, 
but with God 
all things are possible." 
   
Acts 2:24
But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, 
because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.   

Luke 18:27
Jesus replied, "What is impossible with human beings is possible with God." 
  
Mark 10:27
Jesus looked at them and said, "With human beings this is impossible, 
but not with God; 
all things are possible with God."






Job 26:7 
 He stretches out the north over the void and hangs the earth on nothing.

Romans 16 to Hebrews 1


Hebrews 1:3

He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature

And H upholds the universe by the Word of His Power. 

After making purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,


Impossible - a spinning blue planet has life in this Universe.

Impossible - Life after death. 

Possible with God.



Our Abba, Father, 

Dwell in us this day
and fill us with Your Love and Encouragement on the Day of Prayer!
Hope soars. Prayers heard!

Blessed be Jesus
Live in our families
and in those we Love. 

Blessed are You Lord God Almighty. Blessed be the Joy You had in Creation and the Goodness. Setting Your Holy Spirit above the waters.

Seeing Your Glory, profoundly reminds me of my size. God is God. We are not. Profoundly glad, Father, not to be God. You tell Your Messengers "Fear Not!"

Blessed be Jesus, God of God, Light of Light.

In the Mighty Name of Jesus - we have boldness and confidence to know - the words of our mouth and the meditation of our heart is seen in Your Heart. We know our prayers are safe, and known, to You.

Praying this busy week for all our families will be productive, joyful and blessed by Jesus Christ.

We ask Good Health for Elliot.
And for all Families.
We ask Jesus to Bless our Nation in this unusual time.

We give You Thanks. Praise God that the Glory of God is His. His Might, His Wonder and His Wisdom. Upon His Name Jesus we are covered and grateful for His Righteousness.

JESUS THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY!
Abba our Father, God of Gods. Amen.

1 Corinthians 11;33-34 ~ Come together, Right Now

 







Murillo painted the Holy Family. 
Joseph uprooted his life to care for his family. Going where he needed to be for their safety.  We live by faith and not by sight.



1 Corinthians 11;33-34


33 So then, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another— 34 if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home—so that when you come together it will not be for judgment. About the other things I will give directions when I come.





We are all waiting upon the Lord for His favor and for good health.  The miraculous Virus
is being rolled out.

And spring will arrive. Thank You, Father God.




Isaiah 40:31
Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.



Luke 18:1
Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times 
and not lose heart


2 Corinthians 4:1
Therefore, since we have this ministry through the mercy of God,
 we do not lose heart.




2 Corinthians 4:8
We are pressed on all sides, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair


2 Corinthians 4:16
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, yet our inner self is being renewed day by day.


Galatians 6:9
Let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due time we will reap a harvest, 
if we do not give up.




Hebrews 12:3
Consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners, 
so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.



Exodus 19:4
You have seen for yourselves what I did to Egypt,
 and how I carried you on eagles' wings and brought you to Myself.



Deuteronomy 32:11
As an eagle stirs up its nest and hovers over its young, He spread His wings to
catch them; He carried them on His pinions.






Jesus was for and is for all age groups.
In this time frame, we are all taking care of one another. 
Even in prayer and separation. With our phones and with our hearts.


Philippians 2:1-30
So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, 
which is yours in Christ Jesus.

Psalm 84:7
They go from strength to strength, until each appears before God in Zion.

Psalm 103:5
He who satisfies you with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.




Ecclesiastes 9
7 So go ahead. Eat your food with joy, and drink your wine with a happy heart, for God approves of this! 8 Wear fine clothes, with a splash of cologne! 9 Live happily with the woman you love through all the days of life that God has given you under the sun. The wife God gives you is your reward for all your earthly toil.





Abba, Father God

Job 26:7 ~ He stretches


Job 26:7 

He stretches out the north over the void and hangs the earth on nothing.


Yesterday the Post was about seeing the Glory of God seen in clouds. Many, many Scriptures support this. 

Psalm 57:10 
 For your steadfast love is great to the heavens 
your faithfulness to the clouds.

 Nahum 1:3 
The Lord is slow to anger and great in power, and the Lord will by no means clear the guilty. His way is in whirlwind and storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

 Matthew 26:64 
Jesus said to him, “You have said so. But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.”






When we think of Good News, we think of bright sunny days, with gentle breezes to love. Not clouds. 

  
And if we think of Jesus knowing all the Universe's Heavenly Host and calling them by name, we look at the Scripture Today and see our bright blue sky is earth, hangin' on - - - nothing. 

Faith suddenly is called upon. And we think of Heaven and our memories alive and realize, our brains aren't going to be living. Suddenly, the soul seems more mysterious. What does a soul do for us. 



 Do you know the balancings of the clouds, 
the wondrous works of Him Who is perfect in knowledge 




Proverbs 16:15 
 In the Light 
of a King's face 
there is Life, 
and His favor is like the clouds that bring the spring rain.














Romans 10:17

So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.




Abba, Father


Dwell in us every Day. Give us the Day.

Your Son, Jesus, prays for us in John 17.

The Holy Spirit prays for us in Colossians 1


From the Day our Father spoke Light into being, prayers have been earnestly prayed and heard.


We have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of Father God's will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding.



To walk in awe of Jesus, while walking in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to You.

Calling upon Jesus and bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.

And in the Highest Name of Jesus, being strengthened with all power, according to Your glorious might for joy!

And because of Jesus, giving thanks to our Father. Jesus has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.

Bless Elliott with healing, Jesus is never taken from Elliott, he knows.
Bless Bill with his voice. We ask Please, Jesus.

Thank You, my ankle is so much better
and for our friends putting in the Air Conditioner.
Bless us with Love, as You have.
Protect us with Your Love.

Thank You, Father, for the Kind Voice
helping my mother
and for their help with tenderness. Jesus Bless them.
And we know You do.
Bless Dee who has helped so much, bless her in her health,
and Cindy for their Love.

Thank You, Jesus, for all who have helped!

Let us find, establish, create, promote, enjoy, 
Love and Bless our Father for more Heaven on earth and His Good Will.

In Jesus Christ and His Righteousness,

For God's Steadfast Love in Year's past, present and the Thanksgiving of everyday Easter Egg Blessing Hunts still to be. Jesus is King. 
Amen.











Psalm 107

Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever!
2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,
whom He has redeemed from trouble

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. <><
