Philippians 1:18-22 ~ Yes, and I will rejoice

 White Northern Lights





May the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart
be pleasing
and acceptable to You, Lord God.
Jesus, Son of God, Savior,
The God of Encouragement
God of Love
Amen


Much of the United States is under a blanket of Smog. JRR Tolkien might have called this Smaug. And yet, the rain will eventually come, the smoke particles will wash all over God's Creation and the circle of creation will be nourished again.... When?

This week, the FAA released the dramatic numbers of assault, fighting, on the tight quarters of commercial airlines. The number is significantly up, telling us, Pandemic Brain is real. Human Life Lava Lamps are shaken.

The news media our great-grandparents, grandparents, parents have relied upon are so low in viewers, eventually these organizations are going to wither. And the headlines say, "Civilization is doomed and if you are one of the fortunate few, put yourself on an island and stay."  Which doesn't account for an aging population needing superlative Medical Care. Burying one's head in the sand does have drawbacks in real life.

Who is tired? Airline crews are tired. Ministerial staff is tired and blue. Police are discouraged. Houston had to ship a child out 110 miles away with Covid because Children's Hospitals are filling.  

Everyone is having some discouraging thoughts every day.

We have spent 5 months going from our house in the Houston area, to my mother and mother-in-law's house, in Dallas, once and sometimes twice a week. We have seen 3 sets of neighbors, in Dallas, have serious thoughts and circumstances. And here, at home, 8 houses have changed entirely due to new ideas on Post Pandemic living. 2 houses on our Pond, of 15 are empty or being worked upon. We have lost 5 friends to Covid or Pandemic stresses. Then, two deaths of people under 60, just life ended. Possibly stress.

It wouldn't do, not to face the mature problems of a world in Pandemic Recovery, 
even if the line isn't straight up in Glory Alleluia.  




Did you ever wonder...
Why you didn't hear about the Internet Searches during the Pandemic.... The Bible is being studied profoundly.  The favorite search is...


Isaiah 41:10

Fear not, 
for I am with you; 
be not dismayed, 
for I am your God

I will strengthen you, 
I will help you, 
I will uphold you with 
My Righteous Right Hand.



If the News Media isn't going to report Good News, with the usual repetition of masks and agenda bias questions. 

Good News telling us 2/3 people feel more connected to God with their prayer life. 2/3rd's of People say they have better values and are better people now.


If the news doesn't tell good news, we will have to walk by faith. 

We have to mentally drive off-road and find the Lord. Just as Jesus asked those to find Him during His ministry on earth. Seek and find. 

We will have to diligently seek with knocking and finding, the way, the truth and the Life. Discovering Give Us The Day to find the Living Word of God our Encouragement. Knock and you will find, Seek and you will find.

The earth is the Lord's and the fulfillment thereof. God looked at His Creation and saw it was good. The Word of God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Heaven and earth will pass away, but the Word of God remains forever.


Matthew 7:7-8 7 

Ask and it will be given to you; 
seek and you will find; 
knock and the door will be opened to you. 

For everyone who asks receives; 
the one who seeks finds;
 and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.


Do not for a moment, let go of your truth.
 The Peace that passes understanding is not what motivated the Disciples of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.  Jesus had skirmishes every day with trouble. And Jesus was fighting the Good Fight. With Grace upon Grace.  

However, however, however the Disciples were afraid, bewildered, asked stupid questions and Thomas announced when Lazarus was going to live, "Now, we will go and die with Jesus." They knew all the pressures surrounding the blind seeing, the deaf hearing and the lepers being cleansed.  To have this fear, this uncertainty, this hope, this glory, this uprising of ugliness in the face of faith - the Disciples - the way, truth and life of their ministry to us today - is worry with endurance. Is open hearts seeing Hope and Love and battling to stay and endure.


To the one who knocks.
Knocks? Bad circumstance? Like walking through the Desert for 40 years? Some faith would have shortened the journey. 

Dragged down by the faithless surrounding you? Claim Isaiah 41:10,  back up further in the Post, in the New Covenant we are saved by Jesus and His Righteous Right Hand. You have to love Abraham. Abraham was blessed by God because Abraham argued for God to be merciful to sinners. God loves to be seen for the Glory of His Love. Jesus Christ, our Messiah, is the one we want to be like and, yet, His Salvation is our Gift. Not what we could earn being uncertain, faith doubting, annoyed, selfish, and wanting all our own way and the problem makers to just move out of our eyesight and heart reach. Salvation isn't mankind's work, Salvation is the Work of the One who knows the Heavenly Host by Name and Calls the Stars into Creation. 


 Romans 12:2 

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed 
by the renewal of your mind, 
that by testing you may discern 
what is the will of God, 
what is good and acceptable and perfect.



When we hear civilization is dying, pray for all the incredible numbers of people searching the Bible online during Pandemic.  That isn't dying when His People are Looking to God.







Isaiah 51:1

Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness and who seek the LORD: 
Look to the rock from which you were cut 
and to the quarry from which you were hewn


Every single thing is a disaster? And remember the brand-new Google add saying the Google searches are all about people asking to start - how to fix a part, how to do a new skill, how to find a new way, how to rebuild, how to find more gifts and talents to make a path for one another in families.


New beginnings 

 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


Or how to climb back out of worry and find assurance. 
The Disciples did this every day. And then after seeing Jesus alive, then Jesus spent 40 days giving more assurances.  Jesus has compassion on all seeking Him and asking His Help. Jesus is such Love, He wants to save the world.


Isaiah 41:10

Fear not, 
for I am with you; 
be not dismayed, 
for I am your God

I will strengthen you, 
I will help you, 
I will uphold you with 
My Righteous Right Hand.




Isaiah 9:10
 "The bricks have fallen down, but we will rebuild with dressed stone; 
the fig trees have been felled, 
but we will replace them with cedars." 



Philippians 1:18-22 


 Yes, and I will rejoice, 

19 for I know that through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my deliverance, 

20 as it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death. 

21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful work for me.



Every 500 years, God does spectacular work. 

Jesus reminds us the Day of the Lord isn't always very comfortable.  
Philippians reminds us about work and being alive.  The work of the Children of Israel in being part of the Exodus. The work of the Disciples to walk or sail, in all types of weather, to bring Jesus the Lord to His Day.  The work of the people who were sent to do a task when Jesus healed them, like go see the Priest. The work of the people to travel so far into the wilderness to find Jesus, they might go hungry.

The 12 Disciples who did the faith work to Hold on to Jesus. When the 72 Disciples departed when finding out about the eat and drink the reality of Jesus dead and risen. Believe so diligently to eat and drink Jesus. The other 12 Disciples had not only to put up with the Temple, the Government, the Blessing Hogs Jesus wasn't fond of, the children, all the people who wanted Jesus and the Pharisees and Sadducees, now the Disciples had to put up with 72 Disciples who had waning faith. Work. Life is work. 

Rejoice. Jesus did.
Prayers and the Help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ.

All things work together for Good for those who Love the Lord and 'work' according to His Purpose.  This will turn out for my deliverance

it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be at all ashamed
work -  full courage now as always, Christ

work - my eager expectation and hope 

We remember our Alleluia is in Jesus. 





Wouldn't we all like to say
"Here, Lord Jesus, Here!"
Ok!
"Here, Lord Jesus, Here!"











omans 10:17

So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.



Abba, Father


Dwell in us every Day. Give us the Day.
Help us to seek You First.

Worship and Hope
God Overcoming the past failures of mankind.
Mankind doesn't always appreciate being shown Forgiveness.
God is the Great and Gracious Father.

Your Son, Jesus, prays for us in John 17.
Bless those we Love and are given to live Your Love every day.

The Holy Spirit prays for us in Colossians 1

From the Day our Father spoke Light into being, 
prayers have been earnestly prayed and heard.

We have not ceased to pray, asking we may be filled with the knowledge of Father God's will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding.

 fully pleasing to You.

Calling upon Jesus and bearing fruit in every good work 
and increasing in the knowledge of God.
Finishing well to the very end.

And in the Highest Name of Jesus, being strengthened with all power, according to Your glorious might for joy!

And because of Jesus, giving thanks to our Father. Jesus has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.

Bless Bill with healing,
Bless Bill with his voice. We ask Please, Jesus.

the Name of the Lord 
will be saved."

Psalm 111:2-10 ~ Great are the works of the Lord!



Psalm 111:2-10



Great are the works of the Lord!

Studied by all who delight in them!





Full of splendor and majesty is His work,
and 
His righteousness endures forever.



4 He has caused his wondrous works to be remembered;
the Lord is gracious and merciful.




5 He provides food for those who fear him;

He remembers his covenant forever.


He has shown his people the power of his works,
in giving them the inheritance of the nations.









7 The works of His hands are faithful and just;
all His precepts are trustworthy






 they are established forever and ever,
to be performed with faithfulness and uprightness.









9 He sent redemption to His people;
He has commanded His covenant forever.
Holy and awesome is His name!






10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
all those who practice it have a good understanding.
His praise endures forever!




10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
all those who practice it have a good understanding.
His praise endures forever!



Luke 7:31-35
31 "To what then shall I compare the men of this generation, and what are they like? 32 They are like children sitting in the market place and calling to one another, `We piped to you, and you did not dance; we wailed, and you did not weep.' 33

For John the Baptist has come eating no bread and drinking no wine; and you say, `He has a demon.' 34 The Son of man has come eating and drinking; and you say, `Behold, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' 35 Yet wisdom is justified by all her children."


The Song and Dances of the Prophets by St. Ambrose of Milan, 339-397 A.D



The Hebrews sang a song when the soles of their feet grew moist at the touch of the bedewing flame, and while all burned within and without, the harmless fire caressed them alone and did not scorch (Daniel 3:19-25). 

Habakkuk also learned to assuage universal grief with a song and prophesied that the sweet passion of the Lord would happen for the faithful (Habakkuk 3:13).

The prophets sang songs with spiritual measures, resounding with prophecies of universal salvation. The prophets wept, softening the hard hearts of the Jews with sorrowful lamentations" (Isaiah 46:12)









What is Salvation? How does that occur? 

Jesus was telling about seeds. He never did finish the Seed Parable to say if the land was tilled with the seeds to improve in the seasons. However the Psalms like 107 hint changes reveal hearts. Lord, Let Me Be One Of the Number! 

And you know, when you know that you know, you are a child of God Himself. Peace.


There is a good reason for Jesus not finishing the story.
Salvation just isn't to be taken lightly.

Consider the stages of Augustine's conversion. Not just from sin to grace but the steps he took within philosophy. Rejecting the Gospel as meaningless and the Old Testament as a God of ill humor. And becoming part of cult to a change in philosophy again. And again. Eventually meeting ill circumstance and Ambrose, who would encourage him to discussions of the Gospel. Augustine's mother prayed for him and the results were years down the path.

Jesus is the One
He is filled with Immediately.
And Eternally.
Jesus is the One
Calling us to Pray with Hope
His Joy called for Finding with Certainty
more Heaven upon earth.

Renaissance
The era people looked to see God
and found Him
in the Signs of Life.



Nehemiah 8:10 

for the joy of the Lord 
is your strength.






Abba, our Father,


Teach us to see our Blessings and add to Life. Add in Gratitude. Appreciation. The ability to add to the day in "Give us the Day."

and depth of Your Generous Blessings. 
To add Blessings together 
to create more Heaven on earth.

Encourage the Depth of Your Fullness bring Your Beloved, 
surrounding the Good earth,

In the Highest Name of Jesus we ask healing of the hurting nations. 
Many including Cuba, Haiti, Germany, South Africa.

The states of the USA seeing a rise in Covid, for more trust, for more vaccinations.
Healing.

Help us to be the people You want to dwell in. 
And in the Highest Name of Jesus seek You first, help us to finish Well.

Praying for Lynn's good health.


And the birds of our ten states to be healed of their illnesses
as Harris County, Houston, Texas saw birds healing after
March-May of 2021. Thank God!!!

And in this same hope, the Healing and Loving Word of God
for an increase and healing, trust in one another
to see an increase in our Freedoms granted for 245 years in
our families, here in the United States of America.
                                           

With Gratitude, Father God, for the use of my arm and the health already there.

Amen in the Highest Name of Jesus.

We are free to assemble,
worship Jesus Christ
keep hold 
of the deep truths 
of the faith 
with a clear conscience


In God we Trust

and dwell secure.



Jesus the God of ALL.

Biblical readings are chosen from the Ecumenical Christian Church and the Nicene Council, 325 A.D., approved Apocrypha. People remember not just from reading, but by sight and orally- an image has been added as well as audio readings. God tends to link the passages together with fascinates - this blogger, Anne-Laurel Gardere

About Me

My photo
Email registry at bottom.! “All Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16). Men “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say. The Bible is unique; comprised of 80 separate books, & written over a period of thousands of years by more than 40 writers with one Author, spanning the centuries, different states of peace & war & different situations in life. The Bible answers the question: of who is God, who is man & what can their relationship can be. Although the Bible was written on perishable material and copied by hand for many centuries, its accuracy is not in doubt, proven by Dead Sea Scrolls and papyrus from 2,000 years. The Bible has survived persecution & criticism to be read with great interest in each generation. The Bible gives witness to the greatness of the Creator. A loving Father concerned for all of his creation. With each verse of the bible witnessing to God is love and the multitude & vastness of His attributes. The Bible was written for you. <><
