Ephesians 1:17-23 ~ Not only in this age but also in the One to come

 

Ephesians 1:17-23

The God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened

That you may know what is the hope to which He has called you, what are the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints

And what is the immeasurable greatness of His power toward us who believe

According to the working of His great might 

that He worked in Christ 

when He raised Him from the dead 

and 

seated Him at His Right Hand 

in the Heavenly places

Far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. 

And He put all things under His feet 

And gave Him as Head over all things to the Church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all

Ephesians 1:17-23

Abba, Father 

The love of Christ 

Surpasses knowledge, 

that you may be filled 

with all the fullness 

of God.

He has spoken to us by his Son,

 whom He appointed the heir of all things, 

through Whom also He created the world.

In the beginning was the Word, 

and the Word was with God, 

and the Word was God.

 He was in the beginning with God. 

 All things were made through Him, 

and without Him was not any thing made 

that was made. 

In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. 

The light shines in the darkness, 

and the darkness has not overcome it.

Now to Him 

Who is able to do far more abundantly 

than all that we ask or think, 

according to the power at work within us, 

to Him be glory in the church

 and in Christ Jesus 

throughout 

all 

generations 

forever and ever. 

Amen.

Hebrews 4:15-16 ~ mercy and find grace

Happy Cheerful Sub-Tropical Rain for April Flowers !!!

If you sit and plan your vacation, would you pick 40 years in the not tropical desert? Probably not. And when you read the Exodus - do you think - why do they whine again - what is wrong with them?

Recall with me, Exodus 12:37–38, the Children of Israel numbered "about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides women and children," plus many foreigners  (like Moses' Princess Mother) and livestock. Numbers 1:46 gives a more precise total of 603,550 men aged 20 and up.

We doubt God. He says we do. God says calls our faith this: John 5 - "If you don't believe Moses, how will you believe the Words of Jesus." Paul says Faith is the belief in things unseen. Jesus says God gives mankind "work" to believe.

How will you believe Father God's mercies renew every day - if you don't look? And record and text yourself.




When we read 603,550 men aged 20 and up, we see a nation, but what does Father God see?

If we believe Father God and we are able to see God's opinion.

Hebrews 4:15-16

15 For we do not have a high priest 

who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, 

but we have one who was tempted in every way that we are, yet was without sin. 

16 Let us then approach the throne of grace 

with confidence, 

so that we may receive mercy 

and find grace 

to help us in our time of need. 

Isaiah 55:6,7

Seek you the LORD while he may be found

Ephesians 2:18 

For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.

Ephesians 3:12 

In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.

So in our Prayer Journey, We got past the 12 open Gates of Heaven and the large pearl.

We see the New Jerusalem, so Beautiful to Father God.

We know

We have found the shining water leading to the Throne of God. And we will find the trees of Life.

Following them to the Throne of our Father God.

Father God appears to favor Almond Trees.

And as we follow the path of Living Trees to the Streams of Water...

We will find Abba's Throne surrounded with Emerald Green.

Revelation 4

3 And he who sat there had the appearance of jasper and carnelian, 

and around the throne was a rainbow 

that had the appearance of an emerald.

Where Father God would appreciate the reading of this Psalm.

Psalm 131

O Lord, my heart is not lifted up;

my eyes are not raised too high;

I do not occupy myself with things

too great and too marvelous for me.

2 But I have calmed and quieted my soul,

like a weaned child with its mother;

like a weaned child is my soul within me.

3 O Israel, hope in the Lord

from this time forth and forevermore.

Where we, as a Child of Abba, Almighty God, are welcome at His Throne.

Jacob's Child. Jacob's Children. It is not significant to God - 12 sons 1 daughter -  332 million - 7.8 billion

Isaiah 40:26

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.

God has many, many times in the Exodus called the Nation of Israel "The Children of Israel".

This is our Father in Jesus Christ who inhales prayers and understands fully what His Holy Spirit reveals to Him.

1 Peter 2:10

Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God.

Even more than Israel, a nation of many, many people - this - to Abba is just the Children of Jacob. This is our God, who calls the stars by name because He has named them. To Father God, the many people are just His Children and Children of Jacob - He has called Israel.

So many lists of names. These are not names. These are the Beloved and well known to our Abba.

Into His Loving arms - you are welcome.
And there freely tell Your Father of Your concerns, joys and loves.

Luke 15:10

In the same way, I tell you, 

there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God 

over one sinner who repents.

Luke 23:43

Jesus answered him, 

"Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise."

Luke 12

6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? 

Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.

 7 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 

So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. 

8 I tell you, everyone who confesses Me before men, 

the Son of Man will also confess him 

before the angels of God.

Abba, Father,

We understand You to clearly say, come directly to Me, My Child.

Father God, may the meditations of my heart 

and the words of my mouth be pleasing 

and acceptable to You, my Father God.

I Give You my heart and this prayer. 

And cover these prayers and please bless them and keep them. 

May Your face shine upon these prayers and be gracious to them. 

Lift up Your Face to Smile upon my prayer. 

And keep these prayers covered 

in Your Name - Jesus Christ - with Peace.

We pray for Turkey Syria, afraid to go home and dwell

in a building that might give way.

We ask Your Mercy

and rejoice, more people were found alive today.

Two earthquakes in the 4 range.

The Lord Jesus Christ, The Lord, 

The Lord. 

Jesus has done all things well. 

Jesus even makes the deaf hear 

and the mute speak.”

May we rest and renew 

to draw encouragement 

from You 

and see the mercies of God 

renew again each day. 

You have the Word of Life. 

Thank You 

Jesus for this 

and our many blessings.

Including a new front tooth.

 Amen.

Psalm 20 ~ May we shout for Joy

 

Psalm 20

For the director of music. A Psalm of David.

1 May the LORD answer you when you are in distress; may the Name of the God of Jacob protect you. 2 May He send you help from the sanctuary and grant you support from Zion. 3 May He remember all your sacrifices and accept your burnt offerings. 

4 May He give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed. 5 May we shout for joy over your victory and lift up our banners in the name of our God. May the LORD grant all your requests.

6 Now this I know:
The LORD gives victory to His anointed. He answers him from His Heavenly Sanctuary with the victorious power of His Right Hand.

7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the Name of the LORD our God.

They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm. 

LORD, give victory to the king! Answer us when we call!

It would be difficult to believe David's observations of life - without him being a real person.

 And yet, the faithful have done this for two millenniums without proof. Blessed are the eyes that don't see and yet believe.

Romans 3:10

For we have already made the charge that Jews and Greeks alike 

are all under sin. 

As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one."

James 2:23

And the scripture was fulfilled that says, 

“Abraham believed God, 

and it was credited to him as righteousness,” 

and he was called God’s friend.

Psalm 103:12

As far as the east is from the west, 

so far does he remove our transgressions from us.

Romans 10:9

 If you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, 

and shall believe in your heart that God 

has raised Him from the dead, 

you shall be saved. 

Psalm 32:5

Then I acknowledged my sin to You and did not hide my iniquity. 

I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the LORD," 

and You forgave the guilt of my sin. 

Selah!

Isaiah 38:17

Surely for my own welfare I had such great anguish; 

but Your love has delivered me from the pit of oblivion,

 for You have cast all my sins

 behind Your back.

Luke 5:7

So they signaled to their partners in the other boat 

to come and help them, 

and they came and filled both boats 

so full that they began to sink. 

8 When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees. 

“Go away from me, Lord,” 

he said, “for I am a sinful man.”

John 21:21

21 When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?” 

22 Jesus said to him, “If it is my will that he remain until I come, 

what is that to you? 

You follow me!”

2 Samuel 6:9

That day David feared the LORD and asked, 

"How can the ark of the LORD 

ever come to me?"

1 Samuel 6:20 

And the people of Beth Shemesh asked, 

“Who can stand in the presence of the LORD, this holy God? 

To whom will the ark go up from here?”

Hebrews 9:5-12

And above it were the cherubim of glory 

overshadowing

 the mercy seat; 

but of these things we cannot now speak in detail. 

Now when these things have been so prepared,

 the priests are continually entering the outer tabernacle 

performing the divine worship, 

but into the second, only the high priest enters once a year, 

not without taking blood, 

which he offers for himself 

and for the sins of the people committed in ignorance

Isaiah 6:5

 

“Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! 

For I am a man of unclean lips, 

and I live among a people of unclean lips,

 and my eyes have seen 

the King, 

the LORD Almighty.”

Matthew 9:36 

And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, 

and was moved 

with compassion toward them, 

because they were as sheep 

not having a shepherd: 

and he began to teach 

Abba, Father,

We thank You for the Life You recorded of David.

You remind us, You are Father of all mercies. Tender Love.

Your Good Will is triumphant.

We are Blessed by You Daily. 

To learn, David wanted to search the Scriptures to find Truth.

You do not leave Children of God and

Your Beloved Behind. 

Father, You save the world in Jesus Christ.

Asking healing and blessing on the Your Good Creation. 

The Drug Store Muzak was reminding us all today

this is a time of great stress and anxiety,

please remember this for everyone and be kind.

Each day consider the stress we all have, Muzak said,

and in being kind and polite, we will overcome.

I like Muzak. Bet You, do too, Father.

Thank You, God.

And especially for the allergy sufferers in Springtime.

The Norovirus.

And all balloons to look like this:

Prayers of healing and comfort to all of us and our families. 

Jesus cover us in Mercy and Healing, we ask.

We ask You to cover us in the Name of Jesus. We ask this of our Loved ones. 

We ask the Beloved of God around the world 

are heard asking for more Heaven on earth. 

We pray for our own Nation and the Nations trusting in Jesus to be Blessed.

Amen in Jesus. Amen.
