Mark 1 ~ The gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God

Mark's Gospel doesn't start with Christmas, Gabriel who stands in the Presence of God or Egypt. Why not? St. Mark's place at the table didn't place this as important. We all see from where God has placed us.

Causing me to wonder why, why was Egypt important? This week we were viewing the Amazing Exhibit of Egypt in Houston's Natural Museum of Science. The absolute and total care given to the complete belief of the Afterlife. The Love shown to each individual. There are statues of families, regular Egyptians, showing arms around one another. Names are placed on the mosaic statues. Rings given to the deceased instead of the grand children. Many of the artifacts are telling the gods - this one is worthy. It certainly beats being a skull under the subway. God has tenderness for all nations and Jesus is sent to the Egyptians.

Mark 1

1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

2 As it is written in Isaiah the prophet,

“Behold, I send my messenger before your face,
who will prepare your way,
3 the voice of one crying in the wilderness:
‘Prepare the way of the Lord,
make his paths straight,’”


Mark wants to cover and start at Isaiah. Being a Jew, cousin of Bartholomew and adopted as a son to Peter - Mark sees the Glory of Hezekiah and Isaiah. Rome has swept in to money, money the suburb of Syria - Judah has not seen so many cities and buildings in a long, long, long time. Isaiah 7 says there is so much money that wine is imported by ship. Forget the local produced since Moses and Joshua and tribal gifted land. Jesus speaks a lot about vineyards. Jesus is remembering a different time as He speaks of work, care, legacy and blessings of weather. Yes, there are vineyards but so many have ceased. Every thing Jesus says is rich and alive.

Into the opulence - Jesus arrives because of the Need. The Spiritual Hunger.

Mark has been reminded being with Peter in Rome, of Isaiah's School of Prophets. Jesus has 12 Disciples and then 72. The old times are alive again. And Mark knows being with Peter - this is amazingly Eternal of God.

The Scriptures are Real. St. Mark with St. Peter in Rome - are very aware where they are in His Story. Mark is beginning where he is. This is Mark's Seat at the Table of the Wedding of the Lamb. This is Mark's place in the Body of Christ Jesus.

Mark is writing the collections of Peter telling the People of Rome - 1st Century - the Words of Jesus that have grabbed him and taken effect on the people they want to know and read and hear and feel again and again. With the flavor of Peter and Mark understanding the world after Jesus Conquers Death and is Alive And Alive and Well.

Consider what we are saying. Jesus is not just alive in Heaven. Jesus is Alive on earth. Jesus is not the catacombs. Jesus is not the mummies. Jesus is not the piles of skulls or femurs. Jesus is Alive on the earth any and as many times - He desires to be here - bodily. This is the Culture of LIFE. Today. And Tomorrow.

Mark is writing of Jesus as walking down the street. Jesus eating fish. The Gospels show Jesus preparing a breakfast. No wonder everyone laying eyes on Jesus is blessed of eyes. Everyone put down what they were doing and entire towns came to hear Jesus preach and see the ill healed. "Jesus healed them all." Jesus makes the Exodus look small potatoes. The dead children are alive. Lazarus is alive. Two million people turned out to celebrate Jesus is Alive. Factoring in what Josephus says a multitude actually is - when the Disciples explain all of Israel knows.

Yes - the people want to know about Jesus. Amazing, Astonishing, Giving Son of God.

1 Peter 1:3
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead

Genesis 40 ~ belong to God

Front, Back and Detail of Isaiah Bulla found at Royal Bakery, Ophel

Dr. Eilat Mazar believes the motif on the Isaiah Bulla is a grazing doe, symbolizing prosperity. (Interestingly,  imagery of this is found in the book of Isaiah— Isaiah 11:6; 13:14 and 35:6.)

3rd Generation, Professor of Archaeology of Israel University - Dr. Eilat Mazar

According to Dr. Mazar, "In archaeology, context matters. When examining an artifact, the material surrounding the item plays a crucial role in determining and verifying its proper identity."

The ruins and artifacts surrounding the Isaiah bulla conclusively date to the First Temple period (in archaeological terms, Iron Age). We can know with certainty the Isaiah who owned this seal lived in Jerusalem between the ninth and seventh centuries B.C. The Prophet Isaiah lived in Jerusalem in the eighth century B.C.

But in this instance, we have even more archaeological context. The Isaiah seal was uncovered at the same time (2009) and in the same assemblage (collection of bullae and other artifacts) as the Hezekiah seal. It was discovered just a few feet from the Hezekiah bulla, and in exactly the same strata of soil.

And Hezekiah Bulla is just found every where due to the massive amounts of prosperity and trade.

4 John appeared, baptizing in the wilderness and proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.

5 And all the country of Judea and all Jerusalem were going out to him and were being baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. 6 Now John was clothed with camel's hair and wore a leather belt around his waist and ate locusts and wild honey. 7 And he preached, saying, “After me comes he who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie. 8 I have baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”

9 In those days 

Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 10 And when he came up out of the water, immediately he saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. 

11 And a voice came from heaven, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.”

Picture St. Mark as the man second from the left. "Your Assignment, IF you choose to accept it," da da da da da da DAAAAAAAA, "Is Mission Impossible." "Today, your assignment is write a book on Jesus and explain Him to the ... world."

Mark records John the Baptist felt completely unworthy. And what it would take to do all this is something of God Calling Irrevocably. Conclusively. Inexorably.

1 Peter 4:10
Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms.







12 The Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness. 13 And he was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan. And he was with the wild animals, and the angels were ministering to him.

14 Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, 15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.”

16 Passing alongside the Sea of Galilee, 

he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. 17 And Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men.”

John Mark was dismissed by Paul. Barnabas encouraged his cousin to stay with Jesus and the Way. Debate, debate, debate if John Mark is Mark. The Early Church was sure. Going with this idea, Mark would put in the beginning of a ministry with trouble.


1 Peter 4:11
If you speak, you should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If you serve, you should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.

1 Peter 5:7
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.


.

18 And immediately 
they left their nets and followed him. 19 And going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, who were in their boat mending the nets. 

20 And immediately 
he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants and followed him.

21 And they went into Capernaum, and immediately 
on the Sabbath he entered the synagogue and was teaching. 22 And they were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.

23 And immediately 
there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit. And he cried out, 24 “What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God.” 

25 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent, and come out of him!” 26 And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying out with a loud voice, came out of him. 27 And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.” 

St. Mark is far from home. Jesus chose the Land of Milk and Honey, His adult hometown was Capernaum. And we see the world so vast and impenetrable - connects. God's Purpose connects the earth - the fullness of the earth is His.

1 Peter 1:18
For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors

Suddenly, Judah (Syria's suburb according to the Romans) has new Architecture of worldly proportions, Herod's building of Caesarea:

1960 photos of Peter's House in Capernaum facing the Sea of Galilee, next door to the Synagogue.

28 And at once his fame spread everywhere
throughout 
all the surrounding region of Galilee.

29 And immediately
 he left the synagogue and entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 30 Now Simon's mother-in-law lay ill with a fever, and immediately they told him about her. 31 And he came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and the fever left her, and she began to serve them.

32 That evening at sundown they brought to him all who were sick or oppressed by demons. 33 And the whole city was gathered together at the door. 34 And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons. And he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him.

35 And rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he departed and went out to a desolate place, and there he prayed. 36 And Simon and those who were with him searched for him, 37 and they found him and said to him, 
“Everyone is looking for you.” 


Mark and Peter were to find this was true - everyone was looking for Jesus - in Rome too.

1 Peter 3:15
In your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect

 Rome and the Vatican 80 feet under the altar. An Entire Roman street from 300 A.D.

38 And he said to them, “Let us go on to the next towns,
 that I may preach there also, for that is why I came out.” 

39 And he went throughout all Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and casting out demons.

40 And a leper came to him, imploring him, and kneeling said to him, “If you will, you can make me clean.” 

41 Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand and touched him and said to him, “I will; be clean.” 

42 And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean. 

43 And Jesus sternly charged him and sent him away at once, 44 and said to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, for a proof to them.” 

45 But he went out and began to talk freely about it, and to spread the news, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter a town, but was out in desolate places, 

and
people were coming to him 
from every quarter.

Roman cities are on a grid of N S E W and have quarters to group cultures together.

2 Peter 1:19
message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.

2 Peter 1:7
And to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. 

2 Peter 3:18
Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.


Abba,

We pray for our friend numbered with the Greatest of all of God's Children. He is mending in the ICU.

We ask for Your Living Word.
And to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love.

When we possess these qualities in increasing measure, You, our Father, will keep us from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

He has bestowed on us His precious and exceedingly great promises, so that through them you may escape despair and lack of Fruit, that is in the world and become sharers (partakers) of Your divine nature. God's Love. God's Mercy. God's Grace.

For this very reason, adding your diligence Love.

Keep us in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Messiah, the Anointed One.

And we will see More Heaven on earth for our loved ones, so high to the Nation and all the Children of God.

In Jesus Christ, Love and Alleluia and Amen.

Luke 7:2-10 ~ Worthy

Luke 7:2-10

Now a centurion had a servant who was sick and at the point of death, who was highly valued by him. 3 When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and heal his servant.

And when they came to Jesus, they pleaded with him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy to have you do this for him, 5 for he loves our nation, and he is the one who built us our synagogue.”

And Jesus went with them.

When he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying to him, “Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you come under my roof. 7 Therefore I did not presume to come to you. But say the word, and let my servant be healed. 8 For I too am a man set under authority, with soldiers under me: and I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turning to the crowd that followed him, said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith.” 

10 And when those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the servant well.

The only gift we can give Jesus is our faith. Everything else is something He gave us first.





Thank You, Father God, our prayers are heard and answered.

We seek and look and find Life reflects God. Jesus told us when we seek God, we find God.

You alone are God.

Abba,

Help us to stay on the Plan and Path You have picked for us before our days. You have planned us and named us before we were in the womb - where You saw us being grown.

In Your Mercy, You have brought us into the Light. We want to walk with You, Jesus, on the Path You have for us. Keep us diligent, keep us focused. Keep us in Love, Joy, Faith, Hope. Because we know that You, have a Plan that is our Hope and Future.

Protect us. Forgive us. Love us. And Love those people we love and the people You have given us. Bless our Nation, our culture and the world holding the communion of saints.

Thank You for Your Eternal Life and Kingdom - where the Celebration of You continues. The Highest Name is Jesus - Jesus is Lord. To Him be the Glory,

We are going to give Jesus the gift of our souls to Him today. Give Jesus our burdens and cares. We are going to give Jesus our Loved Ones for His Tender, Steadfast Love.

With all our cares and for our friend numbered among the Greatest - we are going to Trust Jesus. Trust Him with our yesterdays and our Tomorrows. Jesus the Lord.

God alone is God. Thank You.

And we will Live in expectation. Jesus is our Righteousness. Always.
We ask Jesus to help us finish well with His Blessings!!!

Amen in Jesus.

Psalm 87 ~ The Most High Himself will establsh

Psalm 87

A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. A Song.

On the holy mount stands the city he founded;
2 the Lord loves the gates of Zion
more than all the dwelling places of Jacob.

3 Glorious things of you are spoken,
O city of God. Selah

4 Among those who know me I mention Rahab and Babylon;
behold, Philistia and Tyre, with Cush—
“This one was born there,” they say.
5 And of Zion it shall be said,
“This one and that one were born in her”;
for the Most High himself will establish her.
6 The Lord records as he registers the peoples,
“This one was born there.” Selah

7 Singers and dancers alike say,
“All my springs are in you.”

When we feel God has control of the situation, but we would like control - very certainly in times of crisis - we feel life is rolling over us.

The long prayer for Baptism is sanctification of the water.

I've added on to this prayer for years. Gathering Scripture. And in saying the Prayer, I feel righted again with Father God. His Plan is a Hope and Future. And in being God our Father, He does not roll over us. God listens and answers with Love and Mercy. I can say this surviving my daughter being born and awake in Jesus at 36 weeks.


Abba,

Thank You for Your Blessings, we rely always on Your Willing Blessings.

God Spoke, "Let there be Light."

Our Wonderful Jesus was created, God of God, Light of Light.
The Father adored the Son.
The Son adored the Father.
The Son delighted in the Father.
The Son delighted in the Father's Master Workmanship.

(God our Father has allowed Jesus full access to His Blessings and Abilities.)

The Holy Spirit hovered over the waters. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit made plans for the New Covenant.

The Father, Son and Holy Spirit looked into mankind and were delighted.

Our Father looked at His Creation and said,
"It is Good."
"It is Good."
"It is Good."
"It is Good."
"It is Good."
"It is Good."
"It is Good."
"It is Good."
"It is Good."
"It is Good."

And Father God assured us about His goodness saying, "It is not good for man to be alone."

The Children of Israel walked with dry feet through the Red Sea. We thank You for the People of Scripture - so real.
And this is where you add your people you pray for.

Jesus knew He would be born to a Virgin. He loved Mary, Joseph, James, Jude, Joses, Simon and His Sisters. In believing in their goodness, He gave them Acts 1 and Acts 2.

Jesus was baptized for the sake of Righteousness. He was baptized by John the Baptist and Father God spoke, "This is my Beloved Son, listen to Him."

And this is where you Bless God for the People who Bless you.

Jesus began His ministry and went to the Pool of Bethesda. A man had been at the Pool for 38 years. And Jesus told him, "Your sins are forgiven, pick up your pallet and walk." We want to remember to be Grateful, warm and gracious. Not like the behavior of this man, turning Jesus in.

Jesus diligently and with Joy pressed forward. Going to Bethsaida, hometown of Peter, Andrew and Philip. Jesus would not fail to mention Philip. They came to Bethsaida, and some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him. Jesus took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. When he had spit on the man’s eyes and put his hands on him, Jesus asked, “Do you see anything?”

He looked up and said, “I see people; they look like trees walking around.” This man evidently worried a lot.

Once more Jesus put his hands on the man’s eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. Our Jesus never forsakes us. Our God wants us to see with our eyes and see clearly.

Jesus sent him home, saying, “Don’t even go into the village.” Displaying Jesus is the Exact Nature of His Father, who has endowed and bestowed a great purposeful humor. We pray to be delivered from trouble. And be blessed with humor.

Jesus was asked to heal a man who was blind, Jesus placed saliva and mud on the man's eyes and sent him to the Pool of Siloam to be washed and healed. We would like to be sent to the Pool of Siloam by Jesus. To be washed of our iniquities and illnesses. Blessed. And in being Blessed to bring others this Blessing of Jesus Christ.

Jesus was asked to heal a man who was deaf and mute. Jesus placed His fingers in the man's ears. And this is where we pray for people with ear and hearing trouble. And Jesus touched the man's tongue and the man could hear and speak plainly again. Being mindful Jesus told His Brother James, we are always invited to ask our Father for Wisdom. We ask You, for these many Blessings, Father God.

Jesus had sent His Ministers out two by two. After John the Baptist had died, Jesus fed the multitudes beside the Shining Sea of Galilee, He fed them Bread and Fish. Jesus mourned the loss of John the Baptist. We pray the Day of The Lord we encounter will be filled with the Mercies of God. We pray to finish well.

Jesus climbed the mountain to Pray with His Father. We would like to be able to climb this mountain with Jesus all the days of our lives, without pain and being encumbered. We pray to bring all we Love to See Jesus Pray with His Father. We pray to go back down the mountain and see Jesus, as Living Water, walk on water. We pray all of our loved ones see Jesus immediately raise Peter out of the water and to the safety of the boat. We ask this miracle for ourselves and those we Love.

We ask You, Father, to see the comfort and trust Jesus has sleeping in the Boat. We pray we see, with those we Love, Jesus calm the winds and the water to the perfect peace of Jesus Christ. This is our God. We ask to be sealed this day and always, for ourselves and those we Love in Jesus Christ, God's Son, Forever. 

We are praying for the Greatest, our dear friend to be healed and blessedly free of Cancer.

In Jesus our Lord, we thank You for many prayers. Amen.

Matthew 1:19-23 ~ Emmanuel

Matthew 1:19-23

Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. 20 But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” 22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:

23 “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel”

Every once in a while, you are grabbed by Scripture and held tightly.

As Joseph sat to think of his tragedy and the circumstances -  God did not see Joseph's troubles as Joseph did.

God's Word has just reached in and grabbed, pulling me is this:

as he considered these things, 

behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream

God has deemed to be Father and the thoughts of the righteous man - are prayer. What Joseph considered to be internal conversation - Father God has called this conversation - prayer to answer.

Romans 8:26-27
26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.

John 14:16
And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be with you forever


God's Word arrives on time, just as we need Him. The Comforter places us in His Comfort. The Perfection of God's Word. The Lord's Praise and Comfort of His Workmanship has arrived over and over this week to encourage Prayer. Pleasing to God

Matthew 10

29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. 

Fear not, therefore; 

you are of more value

 than many sparrows.

Abba,
I give You great thanks. You never leave or forsake us.

To see the work of our hands blessed. Simple things - like the utility door needed paint for many years it seemed to not match and finally it matches and is whole.

The blessings of good sons, growing to be independent men. Ready to travel along with you to visit those we love.

The blessings of God telling us when we have trouble ahead, He will find the way and the Life. We pray and pray and know He strengthens us in His Holiness. Ezekiel told us even dry bones are restored. All things are possible with God, Jesus has told us. John 14, 15, 16 and 17.

Ephesians 3:20
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

2 Corinthians 13:4
For he was crucified in weakness, but lives by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but in dealing with you we will live with him by the power of God.

Entrusting God. Empowered by His Word. Enriched by His Love. We place the one's we Love in Your Capable Will. Your Steadfast Love. We trust You so completely we rest our Nation in Your Care. And the Nations of Your Creation. The Children of God will find more Heaven on this earth in Your Good Will.

And we are remembering our friend, numbered with the Greatest - for his willing soul to continue and to be strong with circumstance - as he told us years ago.

Jesus Christ is God's Son, sent as our redemption and our Love. Jesus Lives and we do. Amen.

Luke 9:37-50 ~ The Greatest

Luke 9:37-50

46 An argument arose among them as to which of them was the greatest.

47 But Jesus, knowing the reasoning of their hearts, took a child and put him by his side 48 and said to them, “Whoever receives this child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For he who is least among you all is the one who is great.”


This week, our Japonica shrub - nestled next to a wood fern in our front yard - was tenderly observed. Our Japonica is from the time of Hurricane Ike when our daughter Isabelle was born and woke up with Jesus Christ. We received several potted plants as kind gifts during this time. One was from dear friends, having a baby girl at the same time, and moving across the Continent. Our Japonica is doing well and thriving.

Our peaches for the last two years have had a bumper crop. This year, same things done as before and the peaches were enjoyed by white flies and squirrels. We have a lovely neighbor who has knock you over with roses and this year, they were struggling to bloom.

Seasons change up and down and around. We were talking to a friend about his career and he was saying seasons of being the shining star at work - change. Like the Peach tree or the Roses.

We all are offered a different seat at the table and are meant to observe and learn.

We were blessed by a couple we know from Church - with their help, our youngest son is starting a new job using his Master's in Construction from LSU. His last job was with a Fortune 500 Company outsourcing all of their implementation on a contractual 1099 basis. He has two rather severe injuries from two men carrying 1,500 pounds. No health insurance, no Social Security matching, no employee compensation for injury or overtime. What has he learned? What it is to work hard for a living and the toll of making a living. Especially the workers meeting mortgage, rent and child needs. Our son will carry the memory of working the career ladder. To have compassion on hard work done.



We are praying for a very dear friend, who is 43. Frankly, he is numbered with the Greatest. He has stood in the gap when the gap was not the popular place to be - during his own Rehearsal Dinner. Displaying what a man does for a woman in need. He has carried medication to those with a fever. He has spoken kindly to an older men having a dying child. With Authority, With Humility, with Certainty. With Kindness. He has painted houses of the poor to make the house beautiful. He has held the place of God when Scripture is learned and questioned - holding the attention of Junior High boys. He has quieted the loud unruly High Schoolers too. Not with flash, but with sincerity.

We watched him compose music to marry his true Love. We watched him smile over her as sure as warm butter, sunshine and syrup on pancakes. Blessed and blessed and blessed to marry the woman he loves so dearly. Father to two daughters and a smiling son.

He has a cancer brought on by doing flood work for insurance. Pray with us for this good, good man. You know from this brief description, he brought comfort to the flooded elderly. You know he worked to provide for his family.

We are praying for the Cancer to leave his spine, his lung, his colon. I'm visualizing this kind face sitting with Jesus and Jesus placing His Hand on this Good Heart. I'm visualizing the Cancer leaving as dust we see in sunbeams. Lifted out. By Jesus who loves him as the Greatest.

There is a lot of pain to go from doing insurance work and suddenly having a pulled back muscle to broken ribs caused by cancer. I want so strongly to see the Greatest live to be old and see his grandchildren on his lap. To debate the merits of the many grandchildren, with his blessed, blessed, blessed wife who knows how cherished she is.


Don't forget to pray for this humble, kind man who is the Greatest.

When I've listened and prayed for and heard of Jesus miracles - they happen with diligent prayer. Jesus told us to always pray with hope. I'm going to know our Father God is going to provide His Mercy and His Love - with certainty - and I'm going to pray with Faith for the Greatest to be healed.

Abba,

Now as God the Father, You know You have had one of the Greatest Child of God Beloved, who was sick and at the point of death, and he is highly valued by You.

We know the Scriptures and the Power of God. We are asking again and again for Jesus, with His Love, to come and heal this
Beloved servant, Child of Yours and Your friend.

We boldly and with confidence ask Jesus, pleaded earnestly, saying, “He is worthy to have you do this for him, 5 for he loves our nation, and he is the one who built us our Body of Christ in our Churches.”

Asking You, to have Jesus go with us in these prayers for him, his wife and children. Say the Word, and let Your Beloved child be fully healed.

We pray Your Blessings upon us. We pray this so high to our Nation and Nations and, please, the Children of God pray for this Beloved Child of Yours to see many days unto his grandchildren as in Psalm 128.

Praying for healing all over.

Covered in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

Jesus in Your Willingness
