Matthew 26:53 ~ Angels

 

Matthew 26:53

Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, 
and He will 

at once

 send Me

 more than twelve legions of angels?

We begin Lent this week. And realize Jesus' life began with legions and legions and legions of Angels announcing His Birth. 

This was the beginning of Jesus bringing a new Heaven and a new earth. No more would Heaven be Sheol, the place of the dead. Accepting the devil to speak with God. Jesus had made holiness apply to all who believe in their heart Jesus is Lord and proclaim with their mouth.

The Lord, the Almighty, our Father, upholds the Universe with the Power of His Word.

The Abundance of His Power. The unseen Glory of His Plan and His Will. 

The Ancient of Days. 

  Job 38

  “Have you commanded the morning since your days began,

    and caused the dawn to know its place,

13 that it might take hold of the skirts of the earth,

    and the wicked be shaken out of it?

14 It is changed like clay under the seal,

    and its features stand out like a garment.

15 From the wicked their light is withheld,

    and their uplifted arm is broken.

16 “Have you entered into the springs of the sea,

    or walked in the recesses of the deep?

17 Have the gates of death been revealed to you,

    or have you seen the gates of deep darkness?

18 Have you comprehended the expanse of the earth?

    Declare, if you know all this.

19 “Where is the way to the dwelling of light,

    and where is the place of darkness,

20 that you may take it to its territory

    and that you may discern the paths to its home?

21 You know, for you were born then,

    and the number of your days is great!

22 “Have you entered the storehouses of the snow,

    or have you seen the storehouses of the hail

Which I have reserved for the time of trouble,

    for the day of battle and war?

24 What is the way to the place where the light is distributed,

    or where the east wind is scattered upon the earth?

Ephesians 1:7-10

The riches of His grace,

which He lavished upon us, 

in all wisdom and insight 

making known to us 

the mystery of His Will, 

according to His purpose

Which He set forth in Christ 

as a plan for the fullness of time,

 to unite all things in Him, 

things in heaven and things on earth.

Lent, we wait

expecting the Lord

And the Sun comes closer

and Life 

begins to Rejoice

Life Forever

a 

Glimpse of

Heaven

The sunlight visits us from on high

and the clouds bloom in the garden

Our Father remembers

His Son laughed with delight at Creation

lived grace upon grace, living in His good creation

and 

Jesus returned to His Father

Which He set forth in Christ 

as a plan for the fullness of time,

 to unite all things in Him

Abba, Father,

Oh, Come All Ye Faithful

Joyful and Triumphant 

We thank You for Jesus

and His Salvation.

Amen in Jesus.

Revelation 8:3-4 ~ with the prayers of the saints, rose before God from the hand of the angel.

 

Prayer Request

Psalm 141:1-2 

O Lord, I call upon you; hasten to me!

 Give ear to my voice when I call to you! 

Let my prayer be counted as incense before You, 

and the lifting up of my hands 

as the evening sacrifice!

Revelation 8:3-4 

And another angel came and stood at the altar with a golden censer, 

and he was given much incense

 to offer with the prayers of all the saints 

on the golden altar before the throne, 

and the smoke of the incense,

 with the prayers of the saints, 

rose before God 

from the hand of the angel.

Luke 1:10

And the whole multitude of the people 

were praying outside

at the hour of incense.

Revelation 5:8 

And when he had taken the scroll, 

the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders 

fell down before the Lamb, 

each holding a harp, 

and golden bowls full of incense, 

which are the prayers of the saints.

Exodus 30:8

And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at even, 

he shall burn incense upon it, 

a perpetual incense before the Lord 

throughout your generations

This week, I have been mostly deaf in my ear. And on massive doses of antibiotic. Without much effect, especially when car doors slam shut and we are inside. 8 days. 

On Tuesday, February 13th, the real date of this Post, but asking for prayer post dated, to re-emphasize the week Lent begins. Today I had my ears flushed and found relief, instead of painful rock of an ear. With great Thanksgiving, to not feel antibiotic sick, weakened and ear pain.

Prayers for meeting Covid, Edward's hospitalization and then sinus allergy infection. Lots of germs seen.

Today, new antibiotic and meds with even more relief an hour later. Our Good Doctor. Ear flushing

and Thank God.

Abba, Father,

Strength returning to our family in goodness and health

Strength and Joy returning to the Household

Father, we ask in prayer.

Remembering years of incense

in morning prayer

and the wonderful aroma.

We ask healing

of Your Good Creation

the fullness of the earth is Yours.

The healing of those we pray
for in our heart and soul.

Dwell in us, Father,

Dwell fully in those we love,

Help us to seek You first

and we will finish well in Jesus Christ.

Thank You.

Our God is working. His Son, 

Jesus is working.

Amen.

Ezekiel 34:23-31 ~ I’ll send down plenty of rain in season—showers of blessing!

 

Ezekiel 34:23-31

23-24 “‘I’ll appoint one shepherd over them all: my servant David. 

He’ll feed them. He’ll be their shepherd. And I, God, will be their God. My servant David will be their prince. I, God, have spoken.

25-27 “‘I’ll make a covenant of peace with them. I’ll banish fierce animals from the country so the sheep can live safely in the wilderness and sleep in the forest. I’ll make them and everything around my hill a blessing.

 I’ll send down plenty of rain in season—showers of blessing! 

The trees in the orchards will bear fruit, the ground will produce, they’ll feel content and safe on their land, and they’ll realize that I am God 

when I break them out of their slavery 

and rescue them from their slave masters.

28-29 “‘No longer will they be exploited by outsiders and ravaged by fierce beasts. They’ll live safe and sound, fearless and free. I’ll give them rich gardens, lavish in vegetables—no more living half-starved, no longer taunted by outsiders.

30-31 “‘They’ll know, beyond doubting, 

that I, God, am their God, that I’m with them 

and that they, the people Israel, are my people. 

Decree of God, the Master:

You are my dear flock,

the flock of my pasture, my human flock,

And I am your God.

Decree of God, the Master.’”

God is concerned with our heart. Our earnest heart. 

When Tyre looted the ruined Jerusalem, glad for its destruction, God felt Tyre's hardness of heart. 

Baylor University and University of North Caroline uncovered a mosaic of Ezekiel 26. Alexander the Great left the prophetic Tyre,  visited the Temple to bow to the representative of God. Because Alexander the Great found prophecy of God in His Word after making Tyre into mainland in a tremendous military campaign to reach the Island of Tyre. 

Tyre- Her ships were never to be seen again, and the island never recovered. 

Opposite of what Israel did again and again with the blessing and help of Father God. 

Psalm 122

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! 

 “May they be secure who love you! 

7 Peace be within your walls and security within your towers!” 

8 For my brothers and companions' sake I will say, 

“Peace be within you!” 

9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek your good.

We learn about resiliency from the faith of Israel and more importantly, the Mercy of God - God is Love.

We will all have laments before we depart this life. 

Choices we made and of people we loved and lost for various reasons.

 Jesus knew about this and said:

Luke 8:52

Now they were all weeping and lamenting for her; 

but He said,

 "Stop weeping, 

for she has not died, but is asleep."

You tell us this again when Ezekiel's wife died.

Ezekiel 24

Groan quietly; do not mourn for the dead. 

Keep your turban fastened and your sandals on your feet; 

do not cover your mustache and beard 

or eat the customary food of mourners.

Jesus grabs and holds our hearts with us. 

This is our Father God of Love. 

He strengthens us to be real and not anything but earnest. 

Providing the hope of real recovery.

We believe with You, Father God, 

You have told us in Thessalonians we are informed, about those who asleep, 

we will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. 

We believe Jesus died and rose again, even 

and 

You will bring with Him 

those who have fallen asleep 

in Jesus to eternal life in You.

Abba, Father God,

For Your Steadfast Love

reminding us of the

Blessings we have, we have forgotten to look at,

Thank You.

You know all the Heavenly Host by Name.

And tenderly You hear our cares.

We will look to the future with Hope.

We will put aside all the brash and odd

crazy news of 2020, 2021, 2022, 3, 4

and 

take up the mantle of Peace.

Deliberately.

Each Day we are Blessed to ask for more

More Heaven on earth.

More Give us This Day.

More Daily Bread.

The Universe is upheld

by the 

Power of Your Word.

May The Lord God Almighty

His Son Jesus

surround and uphold us

in This Peace.

The Peace is Upheld by God Himself 

and 

we ask

His Blessing and Favor.

Gently, we hand You our Cares

knowing Your Hands hold

this so well.

Tenderly.

And we are Loved and Filled.

Dwell in us

and help us to be Pleasing to You

Dwell in those we Love and Honor

and help us to seek You first

and we will end well in Jesus Christ.

In the Highest Name 

of Jesus Christ

Alleluia
