Psalm 100 ~ Serve the Lord with gladness.

Psalm 100

Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!
2 Serve the Lord with gladness!
Come into his presence with singing!

3 Know that the Lord, he is God!
It is he who made us, and not we ourselves
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
and his courts with praise!
Give thanks to him; bless his name!

5 For the Lord is good;
his steadfast love endures forever,
and his faithfulness to all generations.





Serve the Lord with Gladness.

October is when the outdoors returns to us. Gardeners are happy. Athletes are happy. Weekend warriors are happy. People sit in the yard.

And today all this perfection had an irritant to me. An injustice. Usually this shakes right off. It was a threat given, a long time ago, of nuisance they do. It's something I share with the people near me. In fact, people 4 and 12 blocks away from me have asked me about. Other people have experienced this as well. And usually I shake this off and have joy. Today, I just was riddled with, "It's not fair."

Let's call this couple -  Impetigo and Bedreaded.

When I ask prayers over this astonishingly unkind couple at the many Bible Studies we have done - it's asked if they go to Church. I think so. Then later we are asked if they attend Church in English as they are English speakers. I think so. Let me add the list of their gross self-centeredness is so long, I have to quell Edward in public and he has to stop me. We can get on a rant. Honestly.





I wondered how God felt to be housed in completely touchy irritation - me.To me all the beauty of October felt really irked inside me. As if the perfection of the day was taken - again. One more of their cruddy perpetrations - foisted in a sneaky way.

It's 2 people who deliberately set themselves first and set out to do any low thing to make themselves feel important. Local Government remembers them. Small animals are endangered for their amusement. They laugh.

Their whining is so tremendous the sheer tragedy of death of two children evolves around their feelings - not of the loss.

And hands to touch in inappropriate places unwanted - Impetigo  has - and two married women I know of. Total crashing narcissism.

Unfortunately for me, I encountered low selfishness done upon me by these two people today. I was ruddy and damn angry. I stomped around doing chores remembering these individuals have had a brick in their window as a gift long ago. And with this, I want to say the perfect thing. So the perfect thing. Establish Justice. Jump over tall buildings in a single bound.






Also, the truth is they make Local Government remember them from loud public displays of incredible selfishness. This is not solvable.

And of all the incredible favors and things asked of my family by these local people - I happened upon something asked of me. I was so mad I was genuinely furious. I asked Father God, "How do You stand irritated people? Being housed in them?" So as I passed this favor asked for "rudely" about 10 years ago, I smiled for not doing this. It was asked in a shame-you-way in front of other people. And I really did not remember, at the time, what they were referring to and they ended up being quite embarrassed. I smiled at how the sour note had been turned on the one giving out sour. I remembered God. It was an easy favor.

I had been contemplating about 10 ways to get even. It's so tempting. When our daughter died an off the rails nurse chewed me out until she was literally spitting. Our daughter died of multiple chromosome disorder being born 3 weeks early. It was purely someone very distressed about mental issues. I told the doctor what the nurse said and found there were other complaints and because this was so outrageous,  would I please turn her in. I had Permission!!!!!!!! Permission for Justice. Revenge. And I got quiet and the doctor, who had been so kind to me and to Edward during the loss of our daughter, asked me what I was thinking. I thought if I pick up revenge - given I'm grieving the loss of our only daughter - and I have permission - I might never put down Revenge again. And do I want to do things that are low? And be lowly in actions? I felt wonderful to be free from my revenge. It might have been the only time I had something I could give in a time of depletion and grief.

So today, finding this, I got hold of the 10 year favor and finished this in about 4 minutes. Never having to show them or have them know. Doing an act of Mercy finished off the all day slow burn irritation.


Do we owe people our kindness when they are harsh?

No. Absolutely not. I have as little to do with Impetigo and Bedreaded as possible.



Speaking up is Good. Edward once joked with me, before our marriage, that he thought rudely of something. We were trying to schedule our last pre-marriage counseling and I couldn't get him to apologize. I called him back and said Father Mike would be talking to him. At the end of the day Edward said it was the worst day ever contemplating what to say to Father Mike.

We still find this funny. But Speaking up to solve an irritation. To solve what is solvable is important. To solve what is solvable. To work to justice when Justice is obtainable.





Father God, Abba,

Thank You for the help to find away to move away from irritation. God's perfect solution of mercy to be private. Not given to the repeat offender and yet a mercy is done.

I am so grateful again for the gifts You have given me. For the people I love and see all the time. For help given in comfort and in tenderness. God is Love. His Perfect Gifts. Thank You, my Father.

Let's take October to find ever gift and blessing we are given.

Blessings of our Freedom. Blessings of our Family. Blessings of His Love given to us on this earth. Blessings of the good we can do for others.

To the people all around the world we could sum up our prayers as more Heaven on earth. Thanking God for what He has provided of Heaven on earth. Seeing good people go out of their way to help others.

Thank You Thank You, Father God.

In Jesus Christ. Amen.

Psalm 91:9-10 ~ The Lord our dwelling

Carved Ivory from the Palace of David. Museum of Israel.
Where would David acquire ivory? Leviathan? Allies?

Psalm 91:9-10

9 Because you have made the LORD your dwelling—my refuge, the Most High—
10 no evil will befall you, no plague will approach your tent.


As David carried his father, Jesse's, food supplies to his brothers in Saul's Army, he set off to never return to be the boy in his father's household again. Anointed of God - David very probably to surely felt he was entering training.


When we look at David, who lives his life from King's Guard and son-in-law -  to - suddenly caves David fills with mercy.

Victory suddenly looks like a Tennis Game.
Ditches where David the mercenary does Liam Neeson in the movie, "Taken."

Then a faster Tennis Game.
And then victory - Saul and sons are dead. But no victory. Ok, minor king crowning over provinces. What? Saul's Concubine's Sons What? Less apparent victory. Then Little more Victory. More war. More people say, "Hey, weren't you 'anointed'?" More upsets. Little more victory. Wow - like this might not ever fully work out. "But Hey - Hebrews 11 says just deal with the disappointment, Brother."

Total Victory.
Well. Dancing Naked. Huh. Didn't call that one.

Victory.
Call the old friends, build the Palace. Outside of the city walls, "Hebrews 1 - Angels Sing."

And family squabbles.
Can you imagine Saul's daughter isn't normal, and appreciative, like most women? Oh - Divorce?.

The Children Really DO BADLY. Horrible truly.

And David stands on the patio with wine and says, "Where is my happiness kingdom after all? I lived in ditches. I have a palace. I am good to God's people? Where is my happiness kingdom?" "Hey There!"





When you put together all of the memorable, warm, peaceful instructions of the Bible - right on top of each other - you have utter confusion. Only Jesus can fill every Word of the Bible. Cover every dot and every iota.

God is Our Father. And He gave David a Hope and a Future -  Our Teacher is Giving us His Word - and then we have the ability and insight to understand David just doesn't pull this together. We have a negative example of being Godly. We can do Greater Things by truly observing the details of David's Life.


David grasps the importance of being very honest to teach about God.

What can we take from David's Life and make Jesus Blessed because our Teacher has Comforted us with His Love, Joy and Wisdom?



Romans 8

31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things?

If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written:

“For your sake, we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”

37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.


This suits David in all his days and his heartbreaks and loves and triumphs.

What failed David? Being a conqueror wasn't satisfying. In other words, David lived in his strength. He was not finding Gratitude. He was ordering people about. Being strong. David failed to take a to b - to parent his children and the violence there. Because David was so busy being A and B, Your Majesty. A Selfie. David was slipping by being elbows out - selfish.

Proving we need Jesus. We are not good at doing all of the Bible every day. We need God.


Glory.
Now the next aspect is universal - David is not going to get a lot of praise. When God's Glory is involved ~ it's like the old tapes of now Beatified President Reagan. He's great now - but at the time there were more marches on Washington than ever. It was MILITANT PROTEST. At every corner and turn.

God's Glory is for - God. The rest of us have to do the work God gives us and be grateful to have the whole family in Ziklag Ditch together. Or we go back to the palace and not watch weird HBO. Because David is us - we have or days and our fusses and our internal pity parties.






THE BEST PART OF GOD IS - THE LOVE.
God Sets the Straight Path. God sets the Path forward.

When the Report Card comes - God is just simply Proud His Love has found dwelling in us to be Glad God is Home with us.

Little lambs are cherished. Goats are named General Joab and part of life. Sheep are named after Priests. Stay off the porch. Say thank you more. Pay cherished attention to family more. Do the work God sent you to do. Fight the Good Fight. Be grateful the trouble makes life interesting. Alzheimer Patients have nothing to complain about.

And basically, bassically, basically ~

Every day - Love The Lord our God, The Lord is One; Thou shalt love the Lord thy God 
with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind"

Because He considers you and casts your prayers upon Him. He Cares for you.

"Thou shalt love thy neighbor as Thyself."

David loved himself and when he loved his neighbors - he was far happier.

Abba,

You have given us Work to believe Jesus and in His Word - Your Promises.

We ask Your Blessing upon those who ask Jesus Christ to dwell in them as God's Mercy and Love.

The Mesha Stele has faced many bleak times to prevent David from being recognized in Archaeology. Instead the pieces are intact. Our God does not wipe out His Blessings.

Psalm 91:9-10
9 Because you have made the LORD your dwelling—my refuge, the Most High—
10 no evil will befall you, no plague will approach your tent.

With faith and trust, David placed enormous faith in God's Word. And we know of David's faith 3,000 years later. Ephesians 3 says families live on earth and Heaven. We can believe God.

Father, We place all our cares in Your Tender Hands and Heart. We confidently approach Your Love and Encouragement. We give Great Thanks for our Blessings. When we are weary we rest in You. When we are busy - we have faith You will remember us as we return. When we worry - we will trust just today or just even for 30 minutes. We thank You for Your examples in Your Word of how human and frail we are.

We give You Great Thanks for knowing we place our Trust in You. Giving Thanks the good earth is covered by believer's prayers - pleasing to You.

The Blessing of God is upon us - we Believe.

In Jesus Christ, Amen.

Mark 12:18-27 ~ rise

Mark 12:18-27

18 And Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection. And they asked him a question, saying, 19 “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife, but leaves no child, the man must take the widow and raise up offspring for his brother. 20 There were seven brothers; the first took a wife, and when he died left no offspring. 21 And the second took her, and died, leaving no offspring. And the third likewise. 22 And the seven left no offspring. Last of all the woman also died. 23 In the resurrection, when they rise again, whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as wife.”


24 Jesus said to them, “Is this not the reason you are wrong, because you know neither

the Scriptures and the power of God? 

25 For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. 26 And as for the dead being raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?

 27 He is not God of the dead, but of the living.”



For so many reasons, David was quite wrong. And for so many reasons David made the right choices  - making a reason to see David for his faith.

Boundaries. David made amazing boundaries because he stayed in the boundaries God had given him.  David knew he was anointed and spent 22 years feeling all of the Psalms. Defeat, agony, victory, defeat, victory, defeat, Victory, sin, defeat, defeat, Victory.

And then David after several apparent failures even after Saul died - took Saul's Kingdom - the first map - and in obedience to God made - the second map.

Saul had boundaries. And refused. Saul  refused to believe the Scriptures and the Power of God. He refused to be grateful for today and to let God have tomorrow.

Gratitude is very important.

David had gratitude. And obedience.  To become the actual family of Jesus as Father God would want His Only Son - to be descended of David.


Matthew 12
50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.


David believed God was as good as His Word. And in being obedient to God. God's Will is done - believing in God our Father.

All of the Blessings of God involve - Trusting God so much we will find gratitude and willingness to believe that the Will of God - is Good - Today.

There are times and seasons in life. Where someone dies. Where finances change. Where crisis causes friendships to all end and begin again. With the winds of life decide not to be gentle.

And we will turn to God Himself for comfort.

Jesus is Living Water.

When we are out. Just done. Jesus will fill us again. And we will be able to say again, "My cup runneth over."


Psalm 100

5 For the Lord is good;
his steadfast love endures forever,
and his faithfulness to all generations. 


Father God,

We prayer the prayer of David. Asking Jesus to pray with us.

“Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far?

And yet this was a small thing in your eyes, O Lord God. You have spoken also of your servant’s house for a great while to come, and this is instruction for mankind, O Lord God!

You know your children, O Lord Father God! Because of Your promises, and according to Your own heart, You have brought about all this greatness for Your Glory.


And we delight, Your Name will be magnified forever, saying, ‘The Lord of hosts is God over Israel,’ and the house of Jesus will be established before You.

For you, O Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, have made Your revelation to your children, saying, ‘I will build you a house.’ Therefore your servant has found courage to pray this prayer to you. "

And now, O Lord God, You are God, and Your Words are true, and You have promised this good thing to your servant.

Now therefore may it please you to bless the house of your servant, so that it may continue forever before you. For you, O Lord God, have spoken, and with your blessing shall the house of your servant be blessed forever.

But to all who did receive Him, who believed in His Name, Jesus. He gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

In Expectation of His Word to our generations, we say, Thank You Father God. In Jesus, Amen.

Luke 24:32 ~ our hearts warm within us

Luke 24:32

They said to each other, “Did not our hearts warm within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the Scriptures?”



We all have within us a deep and abiding connection to Father God through our mind, heart and soul. He keeps us in Him. God renews us.

In the middle of having a cold. In the middle of business. In the middle of quiet. Father God gives us His Presence. We are alive in His Love.


Father God,

We will all have a day where our Time is planned to go Home. . Your Beloved being covered in the grace of Jesus Christ, Wonderful and Auspicious God.

Father God, warm and tender our hearts as Jesus did on the Emmaus Road. Help us to be to You, like Daniel, who knew God is God. 

Let us remember again,
God is Good and Your Goodness. Real Goodness.  Life is strong and filled with real Hope of God. The Strength of God - Peter Knew Jesus is God and Jesus is Words of Life. Eternal Life.

Rembrandt's Road to Emmaus

Let us truly, and really appreciate, the people we have in our hearts, let us encourage and build them up. Knowing we want our Beloved to feel loved. To be appreciated. We want to walk the path God has given us to know we did our best. Today, today, today we pleased Jesus.

Our lives continue forever - and yet, the gift of time teaches us - Today is our life and we really want empowerment making the most and best of our God Given treasures He Gives to us today. Filling our tomorrow is filled with joy. Knowing His pleasure we worked for Wonderful Jesus. Father God embolden and empower - helping us - to be love and encouragement to the ones we Love and the people You have Given us.

Thank You for my children. Living and alive in Heaven. Thank You for our home and the people You have Lovingly, Lovingly given me. Your mercies renew and Your Mercies are diligently given in my life.


Hosea 14 



5 I will be like the dew to Israel;
he will blossom like a lily.
Like a cedar of Lebanon
he will send down his roots;
6 his young shoots will grow.
His splendor will be like an olive tree,
his fragrance like a cedar of Lebanon.

7 People will dwell again in his shade;
they will flourish like the grain,
they will blossom like the vine—
Israel’s fame will be like the wine of Lebanon.


What is our Father God? Tender mercy and renewed Strength of hands and heart and tender Love.


Matthew 13
31 He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field. 32It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.”

Jesus, You have told us. "How often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings!!!"

Oh, the places He would go. You uphold Life by Your Word.  A Beautiful Promise and Sure Truth. Life Forevermore in Jesus the Only Son of God. God is Truth.

Jesus our Wonderful. Amen in Jesus Amen.

Jeremiah 17:14 ~ healed, saved, praise

Galatians 4:6

And because you are sons, 
God sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying out, 
"Abba, Father!"

Matthew 5:8
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

Jeremiah 17:10
“I the Lord search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.”

Matthew 6:4
so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Acts 1:24
And they prayed, "Lord, You know everyone's heart. Show us which of these two You have chosen

1 Peter 2:24
He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin
and live to righteousness.
By his wounds you have been healed.

1 Peter 2:1-4
So put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander. Like newborn infants, long for the pure spir~ itual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation— if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good. 

Jeremiah 17:14

Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed;
save me, and I shall be saved,
for you are my praise.

When the Lord heals us - we are Healed indeed.
When the Lord blesses us - we are Blessed indeed
When the Lord forgives us - we are Forgiven indeed.
When the Lord saves us - we are Saved. Indeed, Indeed, Indeed.


The Photo above is from Presbyterian Hospital. The Believers who work there say if you find the engraved stone - you have been Blessed.

John 3:16-17
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.


When we think of healing the world with Jesus - it's frankly amazing Paul and Peter with the Disciples took on the world. How shall we do this? Paul says he will take the Gentiles. Peter the Jews. Can you imagine this? Astonishing faith.

We might have better luck thinking about Father God, Himself, healing the Nation.


Jeremiah 29:11-14
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.

Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. 

You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you, declares the Lord, and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you, declares the Lord, 

and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile.

Father God,

You do Give.

You give us Your Son Jesus to make us perfect and redeemed in Your eyes for eternity.

You give us this day.

You provide for us.

You show us Your Glory.

You hold us to You in Love for Eternity in Your Kingdom.

You Give us Your Mighty Love.

We pray for Edward who has been sick with a cold and unable to sleep for coughing for 2 days. For Wayne to be healed. And for the cares of our hearts.

Thank You in Jesus for the ones I love and pray for. Thank You for this day.
Thank You for listening to prayers. We will look forward to the Future and Laugh with Joy at the Time to Come. 

Thank You the 3rd arm Lipoma is removed to great, great relief from pain. The Praise I'm giving is the 3rd surgery is in healing almost the equivalent of the 2nd surgery recovery from July 2017. Remarkable and Great Thanksgiving. Jesus is God.

We will take up the Banner of being Covered by His Love. We will be free.  This Joy is From Jesus the Lord. 

And we say God's Will Be Done with Peace. 
This comes from the Lord Who is the Spirit. 

Blessed are You, Father, We ask Your Blessing. Blessed is Your Son Jesus. Thank You for Jesus.

In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Matthew 13:44-52 ~ The Kingdom of Heaven

Matthew 13:44-52

44 "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

45 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, 46 who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.

47 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind. 48 When it was full, men drew it ashore and sat down and sorted the good into containers but threw away the bad. 49 So it will be at the close of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous 50 and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

51 "Have you understood all these things?" 

They said to him, "Yes." 

52 And he said to them, "Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house, who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old."

We know Jesus taught from a boat many times. And the acoustics of the hills around the Sea of Galilee are marvelous. So Jesus chose to sit on the waters He sailed, worked, lived beside and chose to enjoy.


And Jesus spoke of the Sea of Galilee as an analogy of Heaven. Referring to the day Peter was given all the fish he could ever have hoped for.

And being given such a gift of Heaven - just about scared Peter to death. Literally.

Luke 5:8
But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord.”

We are all a little like Peter and Jesus explains what is happening around us. When people come back from near death experiences, it's said again and again and again, "The walls melted and I was in Heaven."


Something to Wonder -
When Jesus said the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand - He meant us and now.

When Jesus sat on the Sea of Galilee with all the fish under the boat, He was saying - perhaps - the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand - as if the water holding the fish explained how close we are to God's Kingdom as we believe.

We wonder - the Heavenly Host did not arrive from far away - just the dimension of Heaven at Hand is revealed.

As if we all are born in the image of God and this Heavenly Host would sing for each of God's Precious, Chosen, Special Child.

Jesus is telling us He never leaves or forsakes us

Just as Jesus prays telling us the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand

When Jesus Living Water walks upon the water - Jesus is, we wonder, saying the dimension of Heaven is within our souls and is that close.

When God says His Love is so Vast as the Heavens and His delight is found in the salvation of mankind in Jesus - Jesus says we are not far from the Kingdom of Heaven.

Until the end of the age...

Abba,


Praying for safety for us all in these storms.

Father God, we pray for more of Jesus. More of the Holy Spirit. More of Heaven on earth.

Giving thanks for life. Thanks for gratitude for life. Grateful for the diligence we see in those I see in my life.

We lift up the ones we love and all of the people encountering God by faith

Praying for Jesus lift us up and we will rely upon Jesus and the Holy Spirit He gives us.

In Jesus' name. Amen.

Psalm 31:20 ~ Your Shelter

Psalm 31:20

You hide them in the secret place of Your presence from the schemes of men. You conceal them in Your shelter from accusing tongues.


The Scriptures flow in only one direction - to Jesus Christ, true God of true God, Light of Light. Light of the world. Light of mankind. Savior.

1 John 3:11-24


11 For this is the message that you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. 12 We should not be like Cain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother's righteous. 13 Do not be surprised, brothers,that the world hates you.

14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. Whoever does not love abides in death. 15 Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. 16 By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.

17 But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him?

18 Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth. 19 By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before him;
20 for whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything.

21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God; 22 and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him.

23 And this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us. 24 Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God, and God in him.

And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us.

And also


1 John 2:20-27

20 But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and you all have knowledge. 21 I write to you, not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth. 22 Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son. 23 No one who denies the Son has the Father. Whoever confesses the Son has the Father also. 24 Let what you heard from the beginning abide in you. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, then you too will abide in the Son and in the Father. 25 And this is the promise that he made to us--eternal life. 26 I write these things to you about those who are trying to deceive you. 27 But the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. 

But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie--just as it has taught you, abide in him.

28 And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame at his coming. 29 If you know that he is righteous, you may be sure that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him.

The New Covenant, Jesus' very Life sincerely promises us.

John 14:26
But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name,
will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have told you

1 Corinthians 2:12
We have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us.

Jeremiah 31:34
No longer will each man teach his neighbor or his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity and will remember their sins no more."

Hebrews 8:11
No longer will each one teach his neighbor or his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest.




Abba, Father God,

Asking for Your Blessing in Jesus Christ.

We abide in You to have Your Glory within the thoughts of our heart and the words of our mouth. You are our Rock and Redeemer.

To live Abundant Lives with Grace and Mercy as our destination and our footprints. To be Your first Holy Spirit gifts of Love, Joy and Peace renewing each day.

We ask Your Willingness upon our cares for Your Grace, Word and Mercy. We ask Abundant Blessing on the ones we Love. Letting our cup run over, the Blessing pour forth flowing from our lives - filling those You have given us to bless and soak the Nation Trusting in You.

Revive the Nations trusting in You. Living Water giving pools of refreshing Hope and Joy.

Pouring Love and Hope over Your Children covering Your Creation with prayers for More Heaven upon Your Good Creation.

In Your Willingness Father, in the Name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.
