At Easter, we found the terrible Pandemic was beginning to slow down. The Peak was coming down pretty quickly. Not coincidentally, Easter is about Life.
This is Pentecost. The week the Disciples found the Holy Spirit gave them Courage. This is 50 days from finding Jesus Christ Lives. It's a cultural day. The people witnessing the Renewal of God's Holy Spirit in His Magnificence, speak different languages and come from differing cultures.
Not coincidentally, this is Pentecost. When decisions are reached about the Holy Spirit.
Joshua 24:15
As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.
Jesus, please.
Jesus, please.
Within 16 years of the death of Jesus Christ and His Life, Emperor Claudius began to kill Christians for saying Jesus is King and Son of God. From 46 A.D. until 325 A.D. persecution sometimes persisted. From belief and an idea. The amazing fact we have Scriptures in our hand today is the work of faith and of prayer.
The Challenge this Pentecost is to believe The Holy Spirit would be pleased for us to join together as we watch these demonstrations - to pray for God's Spirit to hold them to Him in Love. To change the atmosphere of every soul to realize what is needed is our Father God. To ask God for His Miraculous Holy Spirit.
It's just flat impossible for a Jewish man born out of wedlock in the Suburb of Syria to be Alive Today. There is no way His Church exists 2,000 years later. How would we know? We have the written record of Him telling us this from the first/early second century records of Papyrus 46 held intact by the University of Michigan. 300 Intact Chapters of The Scriptures.
The personal Challenge of this Pentecost is to believe your prayers are heard by Father God for Love and Encouragement of His Holy Spirit. The personal Challenge of Pentecost is to believe your prayers join with others praying for the rioters. For the Police held in crowds during Covid-19. For the unfortunate caught in the path. To pray for the people conned into a riot. To pray for those rioting not to fall desperately ill and create another Hot Spot. Praying for the people who love their communities and want the scar to be healed on the land and on the people.
We will pray Love prevails and not fear.
Romans 5:8
God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Jesus, please.
Jesus, please.
We witness Horrible Actions. We pray for the Holy Spirit to make Love live in these souls.
Ezekiel 37:5-6
This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: "I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life. I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life.
Then you will know that I am the Lord.’”
Jesus, please.
Jesus, please.
We see undeserving people with cruel actions.
1 John 4:10
And love consists in this:
not that we loved God, but that He loved us
and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
Jesus, please.
Jesus, please.
We know many, many are praying, don't sink into despair, Hope in God our Father. Hope in Jesus.
Romans 8:31
What then shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Jesus, please.
Jesus, please.
When we feel discouraged, we will fight on in the Good Fight to Pray with all Expectation of God's Righteousness. Even if the number of angry people is overwhelming. God knows us all.
Isaiah 40:26
Lift up your eyes on high and see: who created these?
He who brings out their host by number, calling them all by name;
by the greatness of His Might
and because He is strong in power,
not one is missing.
Jesus, please.
Jesus, please.
We feel sorrow for the Police and the National Guard and pray for their health during Covid-19. We pray for the parents of the rioters and their family and children. We pray for the souls who will have sorrow for their actions today. We pray for God's Love to bring softer hearts and wisdom. We pray for the innocent to be safe. We pray God to fight the Battle.
Jeremiah 4:6
Set up a standard toward Zion: flee for safety, stay not;
for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.
Exodus 14:14
The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.
Jesus, please.
Jesus, please.
We pray that as fears increase, we will stay strong. And in strong emotion, have deliberate compassion and prayer. Determination of faith. We will ask Jesus to help us Stand Firm.
Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm. Abraham Lincoln.

Isaiah 61:8
For I, the LORD, love justice; I hate robbery and iniquity;
in My faithfulness I will give them their recompense
and make an everlasting covenant with them.
Jesus, please.
15 Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayer
that is made in this place.
16 For now I have chosen and consecrated this house that my name may be there forever.
My eyes and my heart will be there for all time.
17 And as for you, if you will walk before me as David your father walked, doing according to all that I have commanded you and keeping my statutes and my rules

but according to his own mercy,
by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit

Jesus, please.

Going to the store, grocery, this early evening, I saw worried people. People wanted to see kind faces. Faces were really being searched in a trying-not-to-look-way. I felt compassion and saw people asking others where to find things and being diligently helped. Strangers laughed with sincerity to help one another and find compassion.
On the way home, a turn only right on to a road was halted. The driver couldn't decide where to go. (Not the freeway, a regular road.) The couple carefully signalled to change lanes several times. It was a younger, mixed race couple. The Couple was worried and distracted and speaking kindly to each other.
Next, we were in a 15 car traffic jam going, 31 mph in a 45 mph Speed Limit. People are concerned everywhere.
