John 15:5-17 ~ Abide in Jesus

The dead stick harshly given to the novice nun to water, is today St. Rita's 600 year old grapes covering the nunnery and sending wine to the Vatican for 500 + years. A miracle of Jesus and His Abba. This is really quite rare.

John 15:5-17

5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. 6If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned.

7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. 9 As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. 10 If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. 11 These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.

12“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command you. 15 No longer do I call you servants,a for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. 

16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. 17 These things I command you, so that you will love one another.


John 9 The man born blind healed by Jesus with saliva and mud, sent to the Pool Siloam/Sent

30 The man answered, “This is a very strange thing. You don’t know where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes. 31 We all know that God does not listen to sinners, but he listens to anyone who worships and obeys him. 32 Nobody has ever heard of anyone giving sight to a man born blind. 33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”




St. Rita had some unusual stories, for instance how did a widowed Rita get into the locked Church to apply for the nunnery? St. Rita said she had help from Heaven. Did Rita ever have trouble being considered part of the branches? Yes, for years she got along barely, barely with her violent husband. Her sons did not appreciate her ways. She made peace with them all.

The first few years in her desired career path, nun, had rather a harsh tendency for being heckled.

Who else felt this way about the mystery of Godliness?


Jeremiah.
Peter.
Jonah.
Zechariah. They didn't want the job - too many difficulties.


When Father God says we are part of His Vine - He truly means His path. His Plan. His Way, His Truth, His Life.

Recently, this tied in for me reading Isaiah 51

51 “Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness,
you who seek the Lord:
look to the rock from which you were hewn,
and to the quarry from which you were dug.

7 “Listen to me, you who know righteousness,
the people in whose heart is my law;
fear not the reproach of man,
nor be dismayed at their revilings


The daily deep and abiding Scriptures of Facebook - actually are that. A Word from God - Today.

Someone recently said that one million people might say, "No." And all we need is one "YES" from the Lord and His Will and Word will prevail.



Don't we all think abiding in the Vine of the Lord is a bunch of happy grapes???


Jesus Himself prayed to Abba and said lead us out of Temptation. To not act like the herd, to do merely what society says is ok. To take the road less traveled. To be pleasing to the Lord God. To not put ourselves in life first. To avoid hurting others. To keep giving. To keep saying Yes. To believe. To trust. To endure. To hope. To love.

To be salt. To find reserves in ourselves that we are filled with Jesus and are the flour Elijah blessed by God and did not run out on the Widow of Zarephath. The Joy of the Lord is our strength.

Doesn't God approve of a quiet life and say that the joy of the world is not the plan?






Yes this is the message of the stoic. The steadfast, the enduring. And all Biblical people see seasons. We don't have to hope for all lean years. We can Hope in the Lord to provide. We can lift ourselves as the mercies of each new day and remember the Joy Jeremiah had when the war was over.

We can remember the Brothers of Jesus traveled with their wives. We can think upon John in his beautiful cave overlooking the bay on Patmos. We can think of the French cliffs of Lazarus, Mary and Martha. The Tomb of Lazarus that says "Friend of Jesus."

Psalm 102:18
Let this be written for a future generation, that a people not yet created may praise the LORD:

Romans 15:4
For everything that was written in the past was written for our instruction, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures, we might have hope.

Hebrews 12:27
The words, "Once more," signify the removal of what can be shaken--that is, created things--so that the unshakable may remain.




Father God,

When Jesus made disciples, He immediately sent them out away from His fellowship. He expected them to tangle with things like illness, demons, and to produce results. He was interested in not their clothing, nor their plans, but His plans. He planned for rejection. And a plan of recovery to try again.

The Disciples returning from His work asked Him to send the crowd away. Jesus told them to feed the multitudes. And Jesus created the first small groups of 50. They ate meals together. Discussing Christ. Jesus spoke of the harshness of the Plan and His Glory. Jesus tells us to Listen to Jesus. He wants us all to be astonished at the majesty of God.

Jesus said in groups, the least is the greatest. And remember, we receive Jesus. Jesus said to include all who want Jesus, with fewer judgments. Jesus taught His Disciples to be merciful to rejection and try at the next opportunity. Jesus said choose Life over Death. Even when this means picking Jesus over family. Jesus said keep on with the Journey. (Even in the middle of dying family).

Father God, we don't just pray the Psalms, we can pray Luke 9.

1 Timothy 3:10 says life will test our strength of faith in Jesus. Let us be firm and stand for the Love and the Mercy and the Diligent Steadfastness of God. Who in His Vast Attributes tells us to search for Wisdom. Making the most of each day - creating the seasons.

Father God, give us joy in this journey. The ability to find the goodness of You interweaving in all things. In Your Plan, let us find gratitude. In your path, keep us nourished, on the path, with Your comfort and Your Love with Your Protection. Help us to see the gifts and build today as well as possible to please You in the Days ahead. In times of trial, be our Encouragement. In all days, let us invite others to share Your goodness. And lean upon You to make the Path.

For our concerns, like health and hearing and placement of parents, all lifted to You. For the Loved ones. For those of today and tomorrow. For our communities. For our Churches to be nourishing us in the Word of God. For our Nation, for His help and protection and blessing. For all who call on the name of Jesus today, we will expect others to join us tomorrow as the Journey continues.

In Jesus Christ, Our Lord God, always the Amen.

James 1:17 ~ from above

James 1:17

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.


After thinking about yesterday's  Bible passage, Psalm 67, I realized there wasn't an explaination about my prayers with Jesus. The Words of God in the Bible are really a miracle. The Bible is written for you, telling you of God's Living Will. Father God's vast attributes. His subtle discernment in various circumstances drawing us to the Good of God.

I began to pray for the people I pray for daily, starting with the Lord's Prayer and then Numbers 6, and then sometimes just internally singing the Highest Name Jesus over my prayers for these loved ones. I pray for about 50 people every day. Just about the same 50 people. And being me, that's a flowchart list. And since I've been doing this for a while, I can say the Lord's Prayer over them pretty quickly or take my time.

And to be honest, and geeky, I sometimes also include the prayer for Anglican Baptism too. Why, because it's a sacrament and I feel like prayers are serious, heard, and I want my prayer life to count in holiness. After all, if you are going to pray, why not expect some answers.

Have I seen answers. Yes. Especially when I receive a new Word on how to pray. For example,  pray especially with Love, expect the answer tomorrow. Pray with Love - is the best prayer advice I've ever heard. Picture love as a light in the soul mid-body and put your Loving Prayer there. The Light of Christ in all of mankind. John 1. What makes this person - who they are.

Daily? Can you just drum up love. Sometimes. And sometimes you pray as you experience love.

Saturday morning I woke up, usually I say my prayers as I wake up, and I felt like singing internally. So that happened. And then I felt pretty euphoric. So I asked Jesus to pray with me, like the Chapters in John's Gospel say to abide in the Word of God - Jesus - and Jesus was asked to pray with me. The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand, so I prayed visualizing - this.


It was like this, but looking UP

(At this perspective, looking up, you see wall and roof tops. Not a Temple. I believe the what we would call Temple is actually God's Home.)


- This IS what I believe I saw a glimpse of the night my Aunt Clarice died. The Kingdom of Heaven is MUCH more VAST and is Way Up High on a Huge Hill. I believe I saw the Border of Heaven.

The Border of Heaven is the 12 Gates of Heaven. Laid out to look like we catch a glimpse of Heaven when we see the Jerusalem of God.  This I saw -  when I was about 32 years old - and had no idea until later that The Book of Revelation saying this Jerusalem is from on high.









So I visualized strolling through this. God says we have the Kingdom of Heaven, not far away, but at hand.

And I went through the gates with Jesus, in my prayer life - casually in my estimation.. We are welcome here. This was a stroll.
This is Abba. Our Father.

So I pictured going with Jesus into the Gates of His Heaven and I looked for the path of Shining Water.

And taking the path beside the Still Waters.

 

Being with Jesus and going up to the Throne of God, Abba, Jesus tells us to approach with confidence. We are Loved.

To draw close to Abba. To place myself upon the floor at His Feet, kneel upon His Knees. And be drawn closer. By My Father.

And to place my prayers with My Father who Loves me.






To me, Father God is in charge of all things and circumstance. And the Bible is a miracle in our hands. To be used with Love, mercy, discernment, and Joy.


Later I came to the Bible, flung this Bible open and read this with increasing joy and astonishment.

I read all of Hebrews 9 and will repeat the last portion, but all of the Chapter brought me Joy.

23 Thus it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

24 For Christ has entered, not into holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf. 25 Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the holy places every year with blood not his own, 26 for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world.

But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. 27 And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, 28 so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.




Father God,

When we pray with Jesus, dwelling in us as the Light of God, we will not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

And in abiding with Jesus, and in His words abide in us, ask whatever we wish, and it will be done for us. We want the Will of God. This is Good. Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And we are mortals before God, telling Him our will. Believing that we will received this, His Good Will, and it will be ours.

Pray without ceasing. In Conversation to You.

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. And Father God, You, tell us, ask, and it will be given to us; seek, and we will find; knock, and it will be opened to me.

You are our one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.

Therefore, confess our sins to You, Father God, and praying for one another, that You, Father God, may give healing The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working in the Name of Jesus.

We pray for our loved ones, our concerns, putting them in Your Loving Hands, Path, and Plan. Giving mercy for the voyage with Jesus Christ. For our communities, Churches, this Nation and the world calling upon Jesus. We join them. Through this all -  Jesus the Lord. Amen.

Psalm 67 ~ God, our God, shall bless us.

Psalm 67

May God be gracious to us and bless us
and make his face to shine upon us, Selah
that your way may be known on earth,
your saving power among all nations.
Let the peoples praise you, O God;
let all the peoples praise you!

Let the nations be glad and sing for joy,
for you judge the peoples with equity
and guide the nations upon earth. Selah
Let the peoples praise you, O God;
let all the peoples praise you!

The earth has yielded its increase;
God, our God, shall bless us.
God shall bless us;
let all the ends of the earth fear him!



Father God tells us in Revelation His Face Shines. Showing us sometimes we have to have trouble, like dark, to see the Blessings. If we are surrounded by Blessings, we can have trouble seeing all our blessings.


When God speaks and important message to us, sometimes He uses repetition. Jesus sometimes spoke a parable twice. Today I talked to a man having some difficulties. And expecting a blessing soon - the type of blessing God does all the time - and yet this is a miracle of God.

His attorney called him and she said in a calm fashion that she is one of the best attorneys she knows, because she believes Jesus Christ and he will receive a good outcome. She prayed with her client. He went to his next business meeting, and the new business person told him - the thing in life is this - God has to be depended upon, more than ourselves. Our real strength comes from God. And as he rode home from the business meeting - the man found out that his friend traveling along also believes trusting Jesus Christ is our foundation.


The man at the crossroads of his life realized even if he seen difficult times - he has family and he has a wife who loves him - regardless of the difficult times.. Business people who support and appreciate him. In fact, he and his wife realized the Church sermons really seem to have their life in mind. They have laughed and wondered if the Church had someone follow them. Like... The Holy Spirit!

This is God reaching out in super natural ways.
God who wants us to know, He is part of our lives. Our destination. Our Father.
The dark is not dark to God, His Light reaches out and has not been overcome.



Father God,

We live near the 4th largest city in the U.S.A. A place where the Justice of the Peace quotes Scripture. Each day I see more of the godly, hear more concern that we all need to rely on God more. I'm encouraged in the midst of so much news, we'd like to improve.

When we affirm each other in speaking of You, Father God, we have community. And usually great joy in sharing the faith of 80% of Americans who mostly could all tell of something joyful and amazing You, Our Father God, has brought to their lives.

Father, in Jesus, bless those who speak up. Help us to encourage each other to do that.

We are praying for our city, we have jobs being sought. We are in a time of outrageous political thoughts. And the national conventions sound like Churches. Why wouldn't You, Father God, hear the prayers of those seeking to bring godly leadership for us. I believe You will.

We are praying for my mother's hearing to return, for my ear infections and ear buzzing. For the continued thank You's my arm was benign. Thanking You for Your miracles. For those waiting for Your help. For our loved ones to thrive in Your Love, Salvation and Joy. For our Communities. For our Nation. For the World God is saving through Jesus Christ, the people calling upon Jesus in faith. Let us bring more Heaven to earth.  Amen.

James 1:20 ~ the righteousness of God

God has more wisdom, insight, older, more creative and He is Larger

James 1:20

For the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.

This is James, the brother of Jesus, son of Mary and Joseph - interesting to read the brother of Jesus speak of growing up across the dinner table from the Son of God.

9 Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; 20 for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. 21 Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. 24 For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like.

25 But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.

26 If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless. 27 Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.


Evidently, Jesus traveled going to see people - for the benefit of God. Jesus was doer.

Looking into the perfect law? The Law of Liberty?

Matthew 5:17
“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them."

James has witnessed Jesus for decades.

Jesus is quick to hear, slow to speak. Slow to become angry. Not meek and mild.  Jesus told us to be salt. Jesus was not perceiving Himself as Religious, but as pure and deliberate in the use of His Speech. Jesus is the Word with God. Never forgetting Who HE is. Blessing others in His Actions and pure Words.

Jesus is not boastful, using the Word of God as "It is Written" - not as "Religious Law" - using the Word of God to save the ones Jesus came to save - you and me.

Jesus saw Himself as a doer of God's plan - love in action. Loving Father God with all His Spirit.

Jesus' family did tease Jesus to go to the Festival and be boastful, but when Trouble came - they sought to bring Him home to them. Jesus is recorded as going home with His friends - disciples - to attend a wedding and see His Mother.

 





When we have anger at injustices in life - we remember: 

The Exodus is the reminder - God cares very much about the lives of His Children on earth. Our Father God made a huge and sweeping statement - God longs for His Children to have Liberty. And Advantages.

We all can picture Israel as God's viewpoint, and yet God chose His Son to see this of the world. God's viewpoint is different than ours. 

God Loves us. God seeks for each of us to know - He created us to be individuals. God loves us that much to write this Letter to you - His Child - to have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,

 


Father God, 

Help us to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Jesus Christ to us personally. To fully know this love that surpasses knowledge.



Fill us the to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Today God calls us, the fullness of the earth and Heaven is His. He calls to us from Paradise - Today God's Begotten Son tells us He longs for our lives to be abundant. Today God would be a Father to us. Today we open our hearts to hear His Voice.

Today we come to share our confidence in Jesus Christ. Today, Father God, You are the same as yesterday and tomorrow in Your Love and Steadfast Promises to those who call upon You.

Today, as the Lord wills, we ask He guide us in the right thing to do.

Knowing Tomorrow, we still rely upon You Father God. And in expectation of Your Word - look for Your promises to us in Faith. God, You are Love. Let us lay down our hurts and have our hearts love. Love is of God. 

Thank You, Father God, for James recording his love for His Brother - Jesus. Amen.

Deuteronomy 30 ~ Therefore choose life, that you and your offspring may live

Deuteronomy 30

“And when all these things come upon you, the blessing and the curse, 
which I have set before you, and you call them to mind among all the nations where the Lord your God has driven you, 2 and return to the Lord your God, you and your children, and obey his voice in all that I command you today, with all your heart and with all your soul, 3 then the Lord your God will restore your fortunes and have mercy on you, and he will gather you again from all the peoples where the Lord your God has scattered you.


4 If your outcasts are in the uttermost parts of heaven, from there the Lord your God will gather you, and from there he will take you. 


5 And the Lord your God will bring you into the land that your fathers possessed, that you may possess it. And he will make you more prosperous and numerous than your fathers. 6 And the Lord your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your offspring, so that you will love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live. 

7 And the Lord your God will put all these curses on your foes and enemies who persecuted you. 8 And you shall again obey the voice of the Lord and keep all his commandments that I command you today.

9 The Lord your God will make you abundantly prosperous in all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your womb and in the fruit of your cattle and in the fruit of your ground. 


For the Lord will again take delight in prospering you, 
as he took delight in your fathers, 10 when you obey the voice of the Lord your God, to keep his commandments and his statutes that are written in this Book of the Law, when you turn to the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.



11 “For this commandment that I command you today is not too hard for you, neither is it far off. 

12 It is not in heaven, that you should say, ‘Who will ascend to heaven for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’ 

13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, ‘Who will go over the sea for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’ 

14 But the word is very near you. It is in your mouth and in your heart, so that you can do it.

15 “See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil. 

If you obey the commandments of the Lord your God that I command you today, by loving the Lord your God, by walking in his ways, and by keeping his commandments and his statutes and his rules,then you shall live and multiply, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land that you are entering to take possession of it. 

17 But if your heart turns away, and you will not hear, but are drawn away to worship other gods and serve them, 18 I declare to you today, that you shall surely perish. 

You shall not live long in the land that you are going over the Jordan to enter and possess. 19 I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse.

Therefore choose life, that you and your offspring may live, 
loving the Lord your God, 
obeying his voice and holding fast to him, 
for he is your life and length of days,
that you may dwell in the land that the Lord swore to your fathers, 
to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob,
 to give them.”

The Power of God.
He is enlightening us in order to know hope. 
God has placed all things under His feet. 
His incomparably great power for us who believe. +

How to obtain His blessing -  mercy sown. Keep praying for all you know to be kept in this blessing. The Lord's Face shines on mercy bestowed and graciousness. The Lord turns His face to those who give earnest peace.

 


Sinners. Jesus chose Brothers who made mistakes and bothered Him. Jesus sometimes told His Brothers to wait and sit outside. Jesus knew something about His Brothers and He expected their best to shine forth in time.


And Jesus left no doubt as to where He was going.  Thank God.

Father God blessed all of those Jesus forgave with forgiveness. 
Peace arrived. The Brothers of Jesus wrote of Love. The disciples of God wrote of Love. Blessings arrived and arrived. Love earnestly. Love genuinely. Be patient. Love again.







Jesus worked through Blessing and Curses to die for us on a tree - cursed.

James 3:11
Can both fresh water and bitter water flow from the same spring?


Blessing and curses...


Isaiah 45:9
“Woe to him who strives with him who formed him, a pot among earthen pots! Does the clay say to him who forms it, ‘What are you making?’ or ‘Your work has no handles’?"


Jeremiah 18
5 Then the word of the Lord came to me: 6“O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter has done? declares the Lord. Behold, like the clay in the potter’s hand, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel.


Hebrews 13:8
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.











Psalm 145

The Lord is righteous in all his ways
and faithful in all he does.

The Lord is near to all who call on him,
to all who call on him in truth.

He fulfills the desires of those who fear him;
he hears their cry and saves them.

The Lord watches over all who love him,
but all the wicked he will destroy.

My mouth will speak in praise of the Lord.
Let every creature praise his holy name
for ever and ever.




I read the post article from Norman Vincent Poole several days ago on giving up on begging God for the solution to prayers hammered and yammered on to God about. So one of my long time prayers refused to yield good news. Instead of being false or cheery, I took off my shoes, stood before Father God and did the praise. I said maybe you have a good reason for saying No to what I can't bring forth. Maybe this is good news. Maybe you have a good reason for saying 'No' Father God. And as I prayed praise to the Lord Father God from Psalm 145, my heart felt better. I had lived in difficult circumstances before.

And as I said thank you, Good News came in. God wants to be thought of first and trusted.




Proverbs 16:32
Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.


1 Thessalonians 5:18
Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you

Cora Ten Boom and the fleas.

Romans 8:28
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.

And this is also saying that God's Purpose triumphs all works. This is in His Good Hands.

Philippians 4:8
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.

Romans 12:21
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.



What is give to us as new creations of Christ Jesus - is today. His Mercies renew. We can make new attitudes. This is what we are building on tomorrow. Jesus told the son of the widow of Nain, "Rise up."

Rise up.


John 14:31
"I do as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go from here!"

Father God,

We will not give up on Life. We will continue to pray for those who are ill. We will not give up on Words of Life.

I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me. We have done grace and patience before, and we can believe that character is formed and strength. Help will arrive.

Calling to Jesus Christ, asking Him to pray with us - with Him - let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.

Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger. Lately when words fail me, I sing Jesus, Jesus, Jesus over the people I pray for completely silently when I wake up. This is cheering me up a lot. Like David, I will hope continually and will praise you yet more and more.

God is going to find me, I will be the sheep He finds and holds to Him.

I believe this for myself, the ones I love, my communities, my Church, my nation. I believe this for all the people holding on to Jesus Christ with Faith.

Jesus is Lord. Amen.
