Isaiah 51:8-11 ~ His Righteousness will be forever, and His salvation to all generations

Isaiah 51:8-11

“My Righteousness will be forever,

and my salvation to all generations.

Awake! Awake! Clothe yourself with strength,

you arm of the Lord!

Awake, as in days gone by,

as in generations of long ago.

as it not you who split apart Rehab,

who pierced that sea monster through?

Was it not you who dried up the sea,

the waters of the great deep,

who made a road in the depths of the sea

so that the redeemed could cross over?”

“The scattered ones of the Lord will return,

and they will enter Zion with singing.

Everlasting joy will be upon their heads;

they will attain joy and gladness,

and

 sorrow and sighing will flee away."

John 6:35

Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst."

John 6:40

For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.

Ephesians 1:23

The fullness of Him that filleth all in all.

Joel, in the Power of the Holy Spirit, said we will all see Him. Paul also wrote of this Glory. John tells us all people will see Jesus.

Ephesians 5

23 For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. 

24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands. 

 25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, 26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.  

28 In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church.

The mystery of faith. Really, we see in Ephesians 5 the state of Christ, as husband to the Church, is a perfect union in Heaven.  Something we will clearly live in Heaven. Beauty and Perfection.

Yesterday, we saw the divorce rate has fallen for two years, actually three. And marriage has only really fallen during the lockdown of 2020. No one has celebrated a ten percent yearly reduction in divorce. Perhaps it's Covid brain again.

The next sentence in the Above JPEG is marriage is falling. Not exactly. 

Rejoice, Rejoice Emmanuel Shall Come to Thee, Ooooh Israel.

Why isn't there a celebration? Why isn't there a celebration over the lack of inventory on the housing market? People are in pandemic brain. Sort. Sort. Sort. Think. Think. Think. Think. What Wot?

You have to celebrate what is good and let God sort it out if the Blessing changes. It's GOOD! THE DIVORCE RATE IS FALLING! Families Hold On to HOME. We are thinking. 81% of American's say they are praying, yet having doubts and suffering. Yet Praying.

Comfort, comfort my people and your people, says your God. Speak tenderly to your Jerusalem, and proclaim to him that his hard service has been completed, that both your sins have been paid for, that we received from the Lord’s hand double for all our sins. Be the voice of one calling: “In the wilderness prepare the way for Our Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God!"

Our Abba, Father,

You are the Lord God, You are Father and Son and Holy Spirit. 

We will behold the Glory of our Lord, 

as we are being transformed from one degree of glory to another.

2 Cor 3

Come Holy Spirit, let the Glory of the Lord shine forth.

We pray Your Good Creation

awakes to Your Love and Salvation in Jesus Christ.

We lift up Florida and the hardship of huge Hurricane,

Houston knows, we know. Oh Lord, have mercy.

We lift up Kentucky to continue to endure, survive

and thrive. Lord, give strength.

Texas would share Florida's rain. We pray the storms

to be shared and the droughts to be shared. 

Merciful Weather, please, Father.

The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, 

and we have seen His glory,

 glory as of the only Son from the Father, 

full of grace and truth.

The glory of the Lord shall be revealed, 

and all flesh shall see it together,

 for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.

And in this we shall rejoice,

 for ourselves, 

our loved ones, 

the people God has given us.

Dwell in us, Father.

Dwell in those we Love.

Help us to always seek You first. Love.

In Jesus Christ, we will finish well.

 Our God has strengthened us, 

Our God has provided Rest for us. 

And in God we will be found in Peace. 

Let Your Holy Spirit, in the Name of Jesus 

be our comfort, 

strength 

and blessing. 

Amen Jesus.

Jesus Lord

Proverbs 17:14 ~ beginning

 

The CDC has carefully tracked marriage and divorce for years. The surprising news is marriage fell so fast in 2020. No wedding plans due to lock down. The divorce rate for 2020, 21 and 22 has fallen about ten percent. And yet, marriage counselors say the mention of divorce as an option is about 30 percent more. Surprising news, good news, odd news.

  Proverbs 17:14

The beginning of strife is like letting out water, so quit before the quarrel breaks 

  

I would wish this was a Christian marriage story, This is the True Story of my neighbor's Hindu Arranged Marriage:

They met at age 25 at the arranged wedding altar. Neither looked pleased. After the festivities were over, the groom asked the bride if she loved another. She said she did. He said I did as well. The groom said I have an idea that will either fix this or fix us. He said taking of virginity is unpleasant. And he had no desire to take something like that unless willingly given. He said I will be your brother and your best, best friend for the next two years. I will listen and fix whatever problem life brings you with complete loyalty and care for two years.

By then, I will be 27 years old. At that time, I will be educated very well and can earn enough money to divorce you and you can tell your parents later I beat you. She agreed.

And for two months the groom had to remind his bride not to tell her troubles to her mother-in-law, but her groom. Eventually, she told him and she said she was so surprised - he cared. And fixed. And helped. He had to remind his bride a few times that she was not so caring of his troubles.

They worked out how to help her support him correctly. And they had a second anniversary. The bride was taken to dinner and the groom was nervous. She asked him why. He said today we agree what will happen to us. She said she had forgotten. He wasn't especially pleased to hear that. And he said are we divorcing, or we will be married? And SHE SAID ARE YOU NUTS, WE ARE MARRIED. And he said - we are not really. And she said, well, I wondered when you'd get around to that.

On their 50th Anniversary, where a massive party gathered - the participants agreed - this was one of the Happiest Marriages they had ever seen. And the Groom spoke, he said, "This has been the happiest 48 years of my life!" And the wife said, "I've been happy for 50 Years!" The groom glared. The wife laughed. And their son said, "If only the world could experience that kind of marriage!"

Stressful times, emotions on the surface

The expectation for gifts, the experience of Christmas symbols, family dinners and meals, the kisses and hugs of family, friends and loved ones, the parade of kings ... are the many events that can generate intense emotions at Christmas. The most common are these:

Scripture for Today Blogspot:

Even when Angels of God appear, people God loves have doubts. Act badly. Zechariah didn't show up to greet Mary. He isn't even recorded. When Zechariah finally connects all that has happened to him, Mary isn't there.  Human growth isn't necessarily seen.  It's doubtful they wrote each other off as they experienced their Christmas.  Hope for each other.

1. Joy and illusion for the reunion with the family, for the motions, etc.

Herod was playing Joy and Illusion. This didn't go well for his family and his mind. Or those around him. The Old Testament records what we wouldn't today want to sing from the rooftops. Yet, the Message of Christmas and the Old Testament is a "Come as you are Prayer Life." If we can't be honest with God who we are, we are truly stuck and frozen. Unable to grow into His Light. God knew Aaron would come in as a Holy Priest and make a mess. God knew this of Abraham and the Disciples of Jesus.

2. Sadness due to absences, When a family member can no longer be with us, the children also experience sadness.

Jesus knew sadness when John the Baptist died, even if they had some words as John the Baptist faced death.  The feeding of the Multitudes and Jesus going to pray was probably Jesus giving John the Baptist a Memorial Service. That same part of Scriptures has Jesus raising Peter out of his doubts and the water. Ministry, Two By Two. Share the Ministry.

3. Angered at the break with routines and needs for the routines of children, they get used to doing what they want and when we set limits they get angry. The anger usually contrasts with the positive and idyllic emotions of the moment.

When Jesus and His Brothers got into a, "You think so much of yourself", "If you are so famous go out and be famous, go on" fight or disagreement, this was during one of the High Holy Days of Jesus' Life.  Jesus didn't egg them one, but Jesus didn't meet the jab by having His Mouth open and His head say mere words.  Jesus gave them the long loose lead rope of you go on. 

Proverbs 17:14

The beginning of strife is like letting out water, 

so quit before the quarrel breaks out

4. Frustration, when your expectations are not met. Sometimes, we expect many things and do not have what they want or what we want.

Jesus experienced this when the 72 Disciples Left regarding Communion. And Jesus displayed the need to know what Peter would say. Peter had a rare moment when Peter could see the importance of Jesus and could offer support. 

5. Jealousy. With other family members and other children of the family appear, sometimes the children may feel jealous because of the attention received by the other children.

Judas is Jealous.  Proverbs 27:4 Wrath is cruel, anger is overwhelming, but who can stand before jealousy?  

6. Apathy, sadness, and discouragement at the endless news and changes while trying to resume the daily routine.

Jesus was seen going across the Sea of Galilee, quite visibly doing His Father' work. A life of Prayer.  Diligence, even in the Life Jesus called Joy, was His example. Depression and aging take away the desire to fight to be in Life. Self-control is a gift of His Holy Spirit.  To see yourself as ready and prepared, is a Comfort and Teaching of the Holy Spirit.

The emotional contrast characteristic of other times.

Emotions are something natural that emerges in people, both positive and negative. It is normal to experience emotions and all of them fulfill their function. But in the diverse season there is a curious process that affects adults as well as children.

Romans 14:1-23

As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions. One person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables. Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him. 

Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand. One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. 

Proverbs 17:14

The beginning of strife is like letting out water, 

so quit before the quarrel breaks

We have very intense emotions and there is often a great emotional contrast and a rollercoaster ride, which can leave us emotionally exhausted.

Jesus knew about stress. He fished. He prayed, He rested. Jesus spoke the truth and was merciful. God calls the Holy Spirit Comfort, Comforter and Teacher.

Negative emotions, are amplified, before the obligation to feel especially good in an idyllic time.

Tips to manage emotions 

1. Try to keep your routines. Even if you do different and special things and even if we have celebrations, it is important to maintain certain routines as much as possible. By removing the indicated days or the day that we have a scheduled activity or celebration, we keep (more or less) the schedules of going to bed, meals, etc.

2. Express your emotions and help them express theirs. Emotions are something natural and are part of people. It is good to express them and to name what happens to us inside.

3. Look for activities that help everyone to disconnect and relax like outdoor walks, readings, watch a movie.

4. Remember with joy those who are gone and appreciate who is with us, and help your children remember them like that.

Children of God in Jesus Christ.

5. Pay attention to your jealousy. When there are several children at home, we should try to avoid attitudes on our part that feed jealousy and dedicate time and space to each child. In the case that jealousy appears, sometimes it is inevitable, we will treat it naturally, we will avoid forcing them to repress them.

6. Be patient with everyone these days and do not skimp on signs of affection.

Celia Rodríguez Ruiz. Clinical health psychologist. Specialist in pedagogy and child and youth psychology. Director of Education and Learn. Author of the collection Stimulate Reading and Writing Processes.

Jacob was given all the spotted, any spot, Lambs.

The same can be said of Jesus!

Abba, Father God,

By You all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible,

Jesus brings many sons to glory. 

For Jesus is come to our Father's glory with His angels, 

and He will reward each person according to what he has done.

Today:

We are remembering Good Prayer Blessed to God. 

Like Hebrews 11. For 20 years, we have seen Wayne donate 40 hours a week to Church Office, difficult and demanding work for Volunteer Time. Wayne's Gracious Gift. We have seen Dee run Altar Guild. Bible Study and Daughter's of the Cross.  We have seen Dee study St. Stephen's Ministry, work Pro-Life and take Amazing Father Francis and Judith MacNutt Prayer  Ministry Class. And in this Ministry Class we prayed and found our group alone prayed for a 2nd time mouth cancer patient, who graciously accepted prayer for the first time and arrived at surgery to find no oral cancer. Healed. Completely. We prayed for an 89-year-old Priest to stay forever in bed dying of heart failure, who got up and began to go 2 miles a day in exercise and make trips to Texas and the grocery store. We prayed Hurricane Ike wouldn't crush our houses with trees and found this last summer, our answered prayers held as I lost a Magnolia without damage and Dee lost her two huge Oaks without damage. Hurricane Ike saw a tornado in our backyard, trees flung East, South and West and didn't damage our home. Our friend lost the stairs to her home's garage apartment and no damage to their home. 

We prayed over knitted blankets and heard the comfort and healing the hospital patients found in the Lord Jesus and in our group's prayers. We prayed for Elliott to live and Elliott found remission, we prayed for total healing. Jesus heard us pray twice for financial restitution and found this 3 times. We prayed for Wayne to survive a botched pacemaker and he did. Jesus heard us pray for Wayne to survive his trauma for the hip operation and Wayne did well. Jesus heard us pray for Wayne's sudden bleeding eye and Jesus healed Wayne. Dee had a no big deal nose skin cancer and literally had half of her nose shaved off two summers ago like a skeleton. Dee's next two surgeries Jesus heard us all pray again 

and Jesus restored Dee's nose to a hundred percent of normal.

We pray for Dee who had a fall and went to the hospital

to recover all her good health.

Jesus has been hearing us pray in Amazing and Wondrous Ways.

 We ask Jesus today for those suffering,

who need His Help. His Love and Mercy.

Lord Jesus please heal, love, forgive, and heal them all

 in Your Love and Mercy. Amen.

“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among

 those with whom He is pleased!”

Father God, help us to do the Good Works You have prepared us to walk in. 

For the ones we Love and the People You have given us. 

For our Churches, places of work, our states and Nation. 

The People who are Your Beloved, to ALL

cover them with Your Name in strength and mercy. 

We live abundantly on the Word of God, You have provided.

We Pray for the Republic.

We the People all have Family and Loved Ones 

we have fought and lived and died

for our Freedoms.

One Nation Under God

with

Liberty and Justice for All.

We pray for Truth.

Knowing in the Truth is where Peace and Integrity 

with Love and Courtesy Dwell.

Jesus, please dwell in us.

Jesus, please dwell in those we Love.

Favor our Nation, dwell in us. Please.

We ask to know to seek You first in all aspects of Life.

Knowing we will see and be more of Heaven on earth.

 Proverbs 16:9 

The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.

Jeremiah 29:11 

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, 

plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Isaiah 40:31 

But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; 

they shall walk and not faint.

Abba, Father God,

You have told us to always pray with Hope.

Jesus help us in this Nation to be in Your Word and see more Joy.

Covered in God's Love,

The end of Trouble.

Help this Virus Recovery end quickly, safely

We rest in the Hands of Our Good Father.

In Jesus Christ. Amen.

John 14:19 

Because I Live, You Also Will Live.

We ask Your Path encourage us to find You.

Covered in the Love, Mercy 

and Name of Jesus.

 Amen.

Isaiah 40 ~ He who brings out the starry Host one by one and calls forth each of them by name.

Comfort, comfort my people,

    says your God.

Speak tenderly to Jerusalem,

    and proclaim to her

that her hard service has been completed,

    that her sin has been paid for,

that she has received from the Lord’s hand

    double for all her sins.

3 A voice of one calling:

“In the wilderness prepare

    the way for the Lord;

make straight in the desert

    a highway for our God.

4 Every valley shall be raised up,

    every mountain and hill made low;

the rough ground shall become level,

    the rugged places a plain.

5 And the glory of the Lord will be revealed,

    and all people will see it together.

For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”

6 A voice says, “Cry out.”

    And I said, “What shall I cry?”

“All people are like grass,

    and all their faithfulness is like the flowers of the field.

7 The grass withers and the flowers fall,

    because the breath of the Lord blows on them.

    Surely the people are grass.

8 The grass withers and the flowers fall,

    but the word of our God endures forever.”

9 You who bring good news to Zion,

    go up on a high mountain.

You who bring good news to Jerusalem,

    lift up your voice with a shout,

lift it up, do not be afraid;

    say to the towns of Judah,

    “Here is your God!”

 See, the Sovereign Lord comes with power,

    and he rules with a mighty arm.

See, his reward is with him,

    and his recompense accompanies him.

 He tends his flock like a shepherd:

    He gathers the lambs in his arms

and carries them close to his heart;

    he gently leads those that have young.

12 Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand,

    or with the breadth of his hand marked off the heavens?

Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket,

    or weighed the mountains on the scales

    and the hills in a balance?

13 Who can fathom the Spirit of the Lord,

    or instruct the Lord as his counselor?

14 Whom did the Lord consult to enlighten him,

    and who taught him the right way?

Who was it that taught him knowledge,

    or showed him the path of understanding?

15 Surely the nations are like a drop in a bucket;

    they are regarded as dust on the scales;

    He weighs the islands as though they were fine dust.

16 Lebanon is not sufficient for altar fires,

    nor its animals enough for burnt offerings.

17 Before Him all the nations are as nothing;

    they are regarded by Him as worthless

    and less than nothing.

18 With whom, then, will you compare God?

    To what image will you liken him?

19 As for an idol, a metalworker casts it,

    and a goldsmith overlays it with gold

    and fashions silver chains for it.

20 A person too poor to present such an offering

    selects wood that will not rot;

they look for a skilled worker

    to set up an idol that will not topple.

Do you not know?

    Have you not heard?

Has it not been told you from the beginning?

    Have you not understood since the earth was founded?

He sits enthroned 

above 

the circle

 of the earth

   And its people are like grasshoppers.

He stretches out the heavens like a canopy,

    and spreads them out like a tent to live in.

23 He brings princes to naught

    and reduces the rulers of this world to nothing.

24 No sooner are they planted,

    no sooner are they sown,

    no sooner do they take root in the ground,

than he blows on them and they wither,

    and a whirlwind sweeps them away like chaff.

25 “To whom will you compare me?

    Or who is my equal?” says the Holy One.

26 Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens:

    Who created all these?

He who brings out the starry host 

one by one

    and calls forth each of them 

by name.

Because of his great power and mighty strength,

    not one of them is missing.

Ascension from Father Mike Schmitz

Sermon with Awe and Wonders

Gratitude

reaches all people. 

Top Nomination, Best Sermon of the Year.

Moment 7.

Father Mike's face, as the Sermon closes.

27 Why do you complain, Jacob?

    Why do you say, Israel,

“My way is hidden from the Lord;

    my cause is disregarded by my God”?

28 Do you not know?

    Have you not heard?

The Lord is the everlasting God,

    the Creator of the ends of the earth.

He will not grow tired or weary,

    and his understanding no one can fathom.

He gives strength to the weary

    and increases the power of the weak.

30 Even youths grow tired and weary,

    and young men stumble and fall;

31 but 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.

Amen!

Has it not been told you from the beginning?

    Have you not understood since the earth was founded?

He sits enthroned 

above 

the circle

 of the earth

Troposphere!

Stratosphere!

 Mesosphere!

Thermosphere! 

And Exosphere!

Do you not know?

    Have you not heard?

Has it not been told you from the beginning?

    Have you not understood since the earth was founded?

He sits enthroned 

above 

the circle

 of the earth

Let the Circle be Unbroken

by and by, Lord

By and By.

There are moments we read history, we rejoice or we weep. 

I was in tears during my freshman history class, sitting in the grand and beautiful Academic Building of Texas A&M University. I learned of Italy singing to one another morning rise and daybreak during the plagues. To remember the beauty of life, to live into the fragility and to endure through heartbreak to the finish and find Glory of Jesus.

After the War of the States, Charleston decided they would find joy in the devastation, vast loss of life, loss and sorrow. How would they live through the struggles? Acts 2, fellowship sharing, borrowing, fellowship and love. If one needed dinner plates, then the neighbors would come to dinner and if glasses were needed another neighbor would come to dinner.  

These days, my plates and my service ware have been invited without any inclusion. We need to rise above being too nice to too rude. On many levels. Find Love and we need to be able to give. Give shoes, clothes, pies, dinner, time to one another. When we are pressed financially, we can clean up and put forth the items others need.  Give to Church donation, Pro Life Donation and Education and Needs Donation.  We can all contribute to make life better for one another.

John 14:19 

Because I Live, You Also Will Live.

We ask Your Path encourage us to find You.

Covered in the Love, Mercy 

and Name of Jesus.

 Amen.
