Psalm 121:1-2 ~ from Whence cometh my Help

 

Psalm 121:1-2

"I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, 

from whence cometh my help.

 My help cometh from the Lord, 

which made heaven and Earth." KJV 

The Lord

Our God Almighty

is always 

with us to deliver us through every situation 

and circumstance 

that may arise in our daily lives. 

Psalm 121:3 

He  will not suffer thy foot to be moved: 

He that keepeth thee will not slumber.

He will not suffer our faith to be shaken. 

He is attentive to our every prayer, 

and without need of rest.

Psalm 91:15 

He hears when we call upon Him.

 "He shall call upon Me, 

and I will answer him: 

I will be with him in trouble; 

I will deliver him and honor him. 

With long life I will satisfy him and show him 

My salvation. 

My help comes from The Lord  

The maker of the heavens and the earth. 

Amen 

We are in the process of finding out

if Edward has a very bleeding ulcer.

Father, 

We ask for healing for Edward

in confidence and expectation.

Thank You for hearing and healing in

the Name of Jesus.

 Amen

Ok, this is what we know:

He is in Methodist Healing Tower

Edward is looking better BP  127/75 heart rate 58✅

5 pm, Edward fainted within minutes at the ER. He had asked me to wait as he answered questions.

6 pm, An hour later, I was looking for him to return.

6 pm He was in not good shape when I found him being attended by 3 nurses, sweating everywhere and so was his blood. BP 120/67 46 not good Edward received blood

(At 2:30 we were going to walk the dogs and then constipation blood to solid blood and leaving to ER at 4:30)

He had a cat scan, no conclusions to see a bleed. Probably, diverticulitis flare-up occurs when the pouches in your colon wall (diverticula) become inflamed or infected. This can cause symptoms such as abdominal pain (often on the lower-left side), fever, cramping, diarrhea, or constipation. 1 In severe cases, rectal bleeding may occur

(September, Edward had perfect colon scope. No diverticulitis nodes as before.)

However, diverticulitis has inflammation he didn't have.

Hemoglobin tests at Midnight and 5 am, 8 am scheduled to receive orders for a scan throat to rear. Colon scope, more intense than September. 

Admitting Physician said he would lean to something in his colon based upon blood being so very red.

Judy's stomach ulcer, Edward's mom, would have been black blood

The Hospital is Very Busy in January 2024

Today, Wednesday, Edward will have a heart and colon scan. Edward looks pink and alert and has quite bleeding. No food only saline drip without meds.  Since Sunday, I had begun to pray for Edward first. We just had a great trip to Austin and Edward placed in his tournament. I was actually praying healing for Edward. It has been shocking and, yet, I feel within me, the Lord will bring good to Edward. Unusual to feel optimistic, yet I am hopeful for my Edward.

Abba, Father,

 May the God of hope fill us all, everyone, 

with all joy and peace in believing, 

so that by the power of the Holy Spirit 

we may abound in hope.

Dwell in me,

Dwell in us,

Dwell in those we Love,

Help us to seek You first.

And we will finish well, in Jesus Christ. 

Help us find and bring

to become

 more Heaven

to this earth.

The Lord,

The Almighty,

Our Father,

Bless,

Save,

Secure

and Uphold

those who had no

Christmas in

Israel.

And Ukraine.

Those here with us.

We know:

Our God is working. His Son, 

Jesus is working.

In Jesus,

Amen.

Yes, still alive and 

still praying with Hope

and Expectation.

Luke 12:48b-49 ~ Require. What does the LORD require of you?

Thursday, April 21, 2016

What would you do if a letter arrived for you, a parchment that care had obviously given to. The contents were the Book of Life: direction for your best and highest purpose.

Would you read this letter each day or save this for once a week, month, yearly?

The Amazing and Wondrous Works of the Lord are always unbelievable,

intertwined with the ordinary, 

and then with periods of doubt we could call lag time. 

The events conclude the same way for multitudes and multitudes. In the Valley of Decision.


We have this opportunity each day to send a letter to our Eternal Home. Our heart, our time in conversational prayer. The deeds we do. The apologies we make.

What is the purpose of your life?

Luke 12:48b-49

Everyone to whom much was given, 

of him much will be required, 

and from him to whom they entrusted much, 

they will demand the more.

49 "I came to cast fire on the earth, 

and would that it were already kindled!

Micah 6:8

He has showed you, O man, 

what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? 

To act justly 

and 

to love mercy 

and 

to walk humbly with your God.

Malachi 3:10

Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, 

that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," 

says the LORD Almighty, 

"and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of Heaven 

and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room

 enough to store it."

Now, here is a thought. If the purpose of life is to be the Prodigal Son returning Home to the Father..., what is the Tithe? We shall not play around with Tithes like Cain and Able.

Malachi 3

9"You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing Me, the whole nation of you! 10"Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house, and test Me now in this," 

says The LORD of Hosts, 

"if I will not open for you the windows of Heaven 

and pour out for you a blessing until it overflows. 

11"Then I will rebuke the devourer for you, 

so that it will not destroy the fruits of the ground; 

nor will your vine in the field cast its grapes," 

says the LORD of Hosts 

What will forgiveness do? Free us of burdens.

 Not all horses are meant to be ridden, and yet we can see the journey with joy.


10 lepers were healed, one returned to Give, Give, Give Thanks to Jesus.
10 Virgins, 5 kept oil to keep the Light burning bright.

We shall do the work God gives to mankind - to believe.

We shall be keepers of the Light of Christ.

John 8:12

"I am the light of the world:

 he that follows Me shall not walk in darkness,

 but shall have the Light of Life."

Abba, Father,

Father, we hope for Your grace and favor in Your sight, 

Bless us when we carry and proclaim 

the Light of Jesus in all mankind, 

we are pleasing to You.

We believe You are the Living God. 

We believe, no good thing do You withhold from those who walk uprightly. 

We believe daily in the Glory of Your Word 

and Will.

We will long for Your counsel and Your Will, to have those we love - praise Your Glory!

We believe, Your Word of Truth,

We are sealed with the Promises of the Holy Spirit.

With Your Help, we will believe, daily keeping Your Light in us.

With Your Help, we will rejoice in the Light of Life.

With Your Help, 

we will look to the Windows of Heaven in our life 

and see a blessing overflow 

believing all things work together 

for those who Love You.

With Your Help for ourselves and the ones we love, 

our prayer concerns. 

We will act justly

 and to love mercy

 and to walk humbly with You, our God.

You are our guarantee. 

For ourselves and the ones we Love. 

In the Highest Name of Jesus, we are covered. 

Amen to Your Glory!

Our God is working. His Son, 

Jesus is working.

In Jesus,

Amen.

Psalm 1 ~ Blessed

Saturday, July 14, 2018

Psalm 1

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,

nor stands in the way of sinners,

nor sits in the seat of scoffers;

His delight is in the law of the LORD, 

and on his law he meditates day and night. 

He is like a tree planted by streams of water t

hat yields its fruit in its season, 

and its leaf does not wither.

In all that he does, he prospers.

 The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away. 

5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, 

nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous; 

6 for the LORD knows the way of the righteous, 

but the way of the wicked 

will perish.

I was at a lovely and large, fairly dressy, engagement/wedding party in 1991.

 There were about 75 people and a man came up to me to give me the Christian Prophetic Word. The 35-year-old man started out telling me facts correlating with my life at present and thoughts far down the road. Then the message became harsh. He snarled with sarcasm and said we would not be friends. Later in the evening, he was more rude about 'more Word." As the evening closed, about eleven p.m., his friends were saying he loved to find believers and pump them up with false prophecies. He said he loved to do prophecies to people who are Christian because of the utter belief on their faces. I asked him how he could pick out a believer - you know - he had no response and for a moment became speechless and shrugged.

... I can tell you 27 years later - that is a very unusual response - a "party trick" or "party conversation." We went to another entirely different engagement/wedding party and a couple arrived and said they were the heirs to the local milk farm (we lived in a very large city.) I could tell they were telling about being wealthy and people were melting all over them. I was having a conversation with an old friend and this was much more fun. Later in the evening, I was introduced to them and came to find out they were saying the Dairy Huge, Huge Farm belonging to my mother's good high school friend. I said, "That's great you are the child of ----. You must love Santa Fe!!! How fortunate you are to spend so much time in your new house there! Tell me all about Santa Fe!!!" The whole room became aware by their utterly horrified faces - this was Not True At All. And the pretenders promptly departed in about 1.5 minutes. Don't know whatever happened to the good looking prophetic guy - the pretenders were good friends of friends and were said to have settled down and done well in life - not pretending to be other people again.

Look at that: One group found it hysterical a man goes around compelled to give "prophecies." Which turned out to be true. The other group pretended to be wealthy and they ran like the Police would be called.

It's funny how we respond to the gifts God gives us - because some of what he said to me is absolutely true. He responded to an urge to Prophesy and not care about the soul or the emotion of what he puts down. That gift can be prophetic and even self-prophetic in the absence of Spiritual mercy and the desire to shelter or pray.






The Psalm is interesting. It's about long life and it's about trees.


We'd assume the trees in the photos were Psalm 100 - never hit by drought, fire, famine, beetles, disease and timber harvest, bird feeders with nails and screws, girdling/mulching the tree, staking the tree, concreting the holes, over fruitfulness, tying an animal to the trunk, power lines, overcrowding, over salt/pesticide. The tree has a very 'Jabez' life. Blessed and nothing to report.





When you are in the room with Believers of Jesus Christ, they will tell you of answered prayer. Warm assurances when faith is needed. Miracles that just become part of life. Prayer requests. Times dreams led them to peace and a new understanding of their soul to Jesus. And if you know them well, they will tell you if they actually hear Jesus. Some people are blessed like Abraham.

I knew a very, very bible study and a virtuous woman cried out to God and asked Him about misfortune. He replied with what was then learned to be Psalm 50. And that was VERY UNLIKELY. "It came to pass." The phrase occurs again and again in the Old Testament. "It came to pass after four hundred and thirty years that all the hosts of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt," and, "It came to pass."


I know a man who praised God for his good fortune and the good fortune showed itself to be life and gut-wrenching unfortunate. God Spoke Blessings. Blessings came to pass. The man asked God to move on. And the man moved on. And God was not going to let the man alone. Much to the man's chagrin. We can believe God will bring to pass all God plans.



When God says, "No withering, all prosperity." I'd have to tell you - we planted 6 tiny trees to grow into massive trees in my childhood newly built house in the 1960s. The Trees met different fates. One hit a chalk rock in the soil and died. One was stunted to just never grow. It sat while the other trees grew 40 and 50 feet tall. My father and I would look at the oak tree and wonder. Maybe it's because it's near the swing set and it thinks it should be a child tree. My father said maybe it needs iron, it looks a little yellow. So iron was applied. Maybe it needs water. Maybe it's a dwarf. My father went to the library and said no such tree variety. We wondered if it was a variation of the regular variety and we should propagate it. My brother was born and my father said maybe the tree people should see the Oak Tree. That year it grew some in the spring. About 3 feet on the 10 feet of a 16-year-old tree. And the next year it doubled. Now we started complaining about how to move the swing set. People. And in the next four years, we were telling bored people about the amazing growth of the tree. Uh-huh. And if someone showed up who knew about the dwarf Oak Tree we all got very, very excited and the story went on and on.



Knowing Jesus, I think Psalm 100 is never, ever intended to make us feel poorly about agricultural seasons in our lives. I do not believe Jesus would tell us a Psalm story of Daniel and then say ... and then there is ... - - - you.


I believe that to God - Peter had a pretty good idea. And just as shade trees begin to give us thoughts about patios and hammocks, cushions and places to read and bbq - we have this:

2 Peter 3:8-9

Beloved, 

do not let this one thing escape your notice:

 With the Lord, 

a day is like a thousand years, 

and a thousand years are like a day. 

 The Lord is not slow to fulfill His promise

 as some understand slowness, 

but is patient with you, 

not wanting anyone to perish, 

but everyone to come to repentance.

Revelation 2:7

To the one who is victorious,

 I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, 

which is 

in the paradise of God.

Revelation 22:2

Down the middle of the great street of the city. 

On each side of the river stood the tree of life, 

bearing twelve crops of fruit, 

yielding its fruit every month. 

And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.

Revelation 22:14

Blessed are those who wash their robes, 

that they may have the right to the tree of life 

and 

may go through the gates into the city.

Redemption. Sweet beautiful little girls grow into unlikely teenagers. Drug addicts recover. Sponsors make wonderful friends. Grandmothers come from the wise who remained with solutions. Old men tell young men. Young men listen to middle-aged men who listen to older men.

This Year, I have been waking up, thinking of a song and singing it in my mind and then praying.

Colossians 3:16

"Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord." 

Abba, Father,

 May the God of hope fill us all, everyone, 

with all joy and peace in believing, 

so that by the power of the Holy Spirit 

we may abound in hope.

Let the Circle Be Unbroken

By and By Lord By and By.

And it cams to pass.

Let the Circle Be Unbroken

By and By Lord By and By.

To live and move and have our being

in

Jesus Christ the Lord.

Dwell in me,

Dwell in us,

Dwell in those we Love,

Help us to seek You first.

And we will finish well, in Jesus Christ. 

Help us find and bring

to become

 more Heaven

to this earth.

The Lord,

The Almighty,

Our Father,

Bless,

Save,

Secure

and Uphold

those who had no

Christmas in

Israel.

And Ukraine.

Those here with us.

We know:

Our God is working. His Son, 

Jesus is working.

In Jesus,

Amen.

Yes, still alive and 

still praying with Hope

and Expectation.
