Matthew 4:4 ~ every Word that comes from the mouth of God †

 















Lightning hits water:Photo:












The music is used today because as I was coming home from lunch with old friends, I saw Lightning in front of the car, straight down. And then KSBJ played this song about Lightning and revelation in Jesus Christ.  And as I traveled to the lunch, I'd called my brother, my maiden name is Anderson. The car in front of me said Anderson on the license plate holder. I snapped a photo in the traffic jam and texted him.

The culture tells us we matter. Our ideas on truth. Our conditions. I disagree, in the Renaissance of hope and renewal and awakening to the Grace and Love and Mercy of Christ Jesus, we lived overcoming events like 1/3 died of starvation. Forty percent of single and married women were open to prostitution, probably to prevent starvation. The Church disallowed marriage and priests frequently had one or two wives and or a concubine.

What caused the awakening of Hope, Love, Renewal, Faith in Jesus Christ to more marvelous opportunities of worship? The Bible was translated out of just Latin and printed to be placed into the hands of the worldwide increase in literacy? People believed you could look for signs, like David prayed and protected Israel by seeing the wind in the trees.  Signs God is always interested in you and prayer is a two-way communication.

God is truly speaking the Word when He says seek and find.



Matthew 4:4



Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'"

Season of Overcoming

2 Corinthians 4:8-12
We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. 10 We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. 11 For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body. 12 So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.

Some weeks you just wish He was calling you to sit in the sun, feet in the sand, taking a little wine for your stomach. C'mon Light!!! Shine!

This Season:

True words, hard to hear.
An opportunity for a prayer solution.
An argument between two loved ones, telling them not to make this with me, in public.
A prior friend, being centered on self. Very uncomfortable and unhealthy.
Seeing a lot of elbows out.
A very vital trip to the doctor for a loved one, long delayed. High tension. 

Change. Very intimidating, even for the disciples of Jesus walking with Him. With fear.
Hearing a loved one cry with pain.
Dismal weather, unusual weather.

Putting the spade into the earth He gives you, in Gratitude.
Knowing He is present.

Speaking to grown children, seeing wings and roots.
An old skirmish, with vast hopes of healing, proclaimed.

Communicating differences and similarities and reducing the "they" in life to the "we" in the Body of Christ.
Knowing in the brain, that even in times of change, He is going to be there.
Knowing emotion is human. Knowing the heart will follow the brain. Relying upon soul.
Seeking Words of Life in His Word.
Knowing we are in His Plan and we need Him to be here, He and will.

Knowing Spring will arrive again. After Holidays and New Year. Migrating birds arrive to attest to more sunshine. Thank you, Father God.

And Then.
Expectation. God Is GOD.
My Jesus 
has not brought me this far,
 to drop me
 on my head.

My God tells the Truth.
My God is for me.
My God is Love.
I can Expect Him and be Strengthened.

In Jesus, I will face speaking with people. When I hurt.
When the weather is grey and we all are hoping for more sunshine.
And after this is accomplished, I am again Strengthened. In Jesus.


In times of pressure, in times of quiet - we ask - are we doing enough. For Him. For the ones we Love. Last week, I felt a little angry about this and I prayed, "Father God, I just don't see how I can do better, more, faster, and which direction. In Jesus. Really. Amen."

KSBJ, Proverbs 31 came back with the same question, saying, "God would definitely tell us, when we do what we can- doing what we are equipped to do - God would say, 'My Child, don't stress yourself."

I hear Christians say - I'm not doing enough. I'm not doing this wisely. I'm not witnessing enough. 

We definitely have promptings of Jesus.

Does this sound like God in this conversation?
"Dad, Dad, I hit a ball and ran to second base. It was so exciting. And then the ball flew past me and I had to go with the team back to the bench."

"Well, son, I saw you hit the ball. Good job. However, if we work on your hitting, maybe next time you will get a home run."

We know parents do say this. However, if your Parent says this to you a lot. You are provoked. Discouraged. Worn down. God doesn't dispense guilt as a Fruit of the Spirit.

This is not what I say to my children, I want to Encourage Them. Let them know how much I love them. In Truth. Jesus says, Luke 4:23, Physician heal thyself.

Beloved of God. Parent thyself and heal.

We cannot really convince people to change. Not quit cigarettes, alcohol, selfishness, or just habits or even political parties. We rarely convince anyone to quit smoking. We only, in moments of profound joy, see new believers. God equips us to do His Work. 

He says so. Salvation is ... God's. Our Father God says He calls people.

Proclaim the Kingdom of Heaven. Joy. Strengthening of real. God uses weakness to proclaim Him. He is the center. Say when He gives the opportunity - I Love Him.

This week I heard the story of a woman called to Jury Duty. She goes up to the Judge and beautifully sings an acapella Hymn of Praise. She is dismissed. That is not fruitful. She has suggested the Judge doesn't know Him and the procedure of the place doesn't evoke Him. Discomfort lingers and is dismissed with fruit loops. Remember with me, Paul was invited to speak or he spoke on the street. We have to believe, God would work with us to create opportunities He can call fruitful. Not shutter down or close it up.

And somewhere we believe if we did this routinely - we would get better at it and be accomplished.

I believe our long ago Catholic Priest who said, something Jesus would agree with. 
Say a little something about what you believe with sincerity. 
Be available when asked. 
Preach the Gospel; if you have to use words. 
If an opportunity passes you by, go back. 
If your voice squeaks, it's okay. You hit the ball for Him.
 God is going to Love your effort. HE Loves You.

God says the battle is His. His workmen go home. His Words endure forever.

Even men who wear collars get tongue-tied. That's okay.  With Jesus and prayer. 
He is affirming Love.

Matthew 11
Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do.










Abba, Father,

May our Father in Heaven
Bless us and Keep us

and
Make His Face to Shine upon Us
and be gracious to Us.

May our Abba Lift His Countenance
upon Us
and Smile.
Our Abba give us Peace.
His own Peace.

May our Father God in Heaven
dwell in us and place His Name upon us.

In Jesus, dwelling in us,
seeking You first,
may our blessings include
those we love,
and spread to us all.
In Jesus we pray to finish well.

Bless and fill our Nation with You
and Your Love cover our Good Creation, 
our planet.

We pray for so many, 
New York and New Jersey, Louisiana,
Haiti, Alaska, 
all of
God's Good Creation.




Jesus our Living Water
Let Jesus roll down like 
cleansing waters,
and righteousness
like an ever-flowing stream.

And we will be blessed indeed. 
Jesus the Lord. Alleluia
and Amen.







Jesus the God of ALL.
Jesus, we pray Life and healing
Joy and Love in Harby and their children.

Jesus, God of Encouragement.
Jesus, Hope and Future.
Jesus the Lord
saves the world

Romans 8:28 ~ work


 

In Texas, it's that Season. 

We begin the gasp of not really autumn. Looking at glorious May and June photos, realize, with Hurricanes exactly mid-way of the season, and, in the sub-tropics of Houston, --- hope to hang on. New beginnings for the children. Tired of the news. Dry or overly flood weather. Not the crisp colors of, usually, the East Coast. This is a work-to-be cheerful season, for All of Us.

We can find Good News.

We see Jesus suffered profoundly for us and died. 
And we wonder today about the passion surrounding Jerusalem and even our families. The Pandemic Brain.

Jesus prayed for us, a profound prayer in John 17
The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, 23 I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me.


And apparently, in John 21, we have conflict over suffering, 
Redeemed Jesus seeking reconciliation. Peter grousing over John's fate.

The work of the cross working immediately. Jesus telling us He is still at work.

Romans 8:28


And we know that all things "work" together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.






Look at the Old Testament and what drew men of all backgrounds and personalities to God:

Micah 4:3
He will judge between many peoples and will settle disputes for strong nations far and wide. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore.


Abraham gathered blessings and mercy for others. This is what drew him to God. Father of Nations. Abraham felt God should be merciful, asking God to spare mankind. And earned the blessing of the millenniums. God's attitude on mercy.
 Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.

Jacob fought God all of his days for a Blessing and sought to bless his children and grandsons. God granted Jacob the blessing, all of his days. As Jacob believed he lived the blessings of God.

Moses wanted justice for the people he felt were abandoned. God provided more than justice, and the slaves left with their former masters' gold and jewelry. God guarded them tenderly.

Eli wanted God's Words to be fulfilled. He wanted Hannah to be blessed. And Samuel to hear. Eli lived to see all of God's Word fulfilled.

Samuel mourned (not his sons continuing Judges but Saul and his duty to God to anoint David). Like the Prodigal Father - He longed to run to his son and have that embrace.

Nathan saw God loves like a Shepherd. Tenderly caring in love. Nathan cared for David as a witness to Love all their lives. Not Gad, who did a job thundering away.

Elijah was pressed to the wall in famine, unbelief and war. He believed God. Listening to the reassuring small voice - "God had not forgotten him."

Elisha saw the measure of Elijah's faith endure and carry him through hardship. He began seeing the blaze of Elijah revealing God's glory, in a time of abundance as Ahab was defeated. The joys of the world were not going to overcome his faith.

Jonah mourned a plant - not even caring for the repentant. Jonah had no root in himself but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately he falls away.

Isaiah jumped into serving GOD with glee. He got his feet wet in Uzziah's reign and lived joyously bringing the Good News of faith in the LORD let the people to hear, understand, see and perceive, the heart of the people worked tirelessly to be turned and healed. King Hezekiah's faith brought the prosperity of God to bring faith in placing HIM first. Isaiah's willingness was a forerunner of "behold the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand."

Jeremiah wanted to be left alone. Well, unfortunately for Jeremiah - he was left alone. And God grew him. Jeremiah began in the most glorious of religious reigns reviving the Temple and discovering the forgotten Word of GOD. Jeremiah gave God's prophecies, enduring ridicule, and lived to see the Word fulfilled, immediately. He lived to see an abandoned Jerusalem have peace.

Ezekiel believed better times were coming during war. He knew God would show up when their righteousness was gone. He trusted God to be merciful to them.

Habakkuk cried out for help so loudly, insistently with expectation. God answered.





Luke 7:31

To what, then, can I compare 
the men of 
this generation? 

What are they like? 
32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another: 
‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.’








Revelation 7:9 

After this I looked, 
and there before me was a great multitude 
that no one could count, 
from every nation, tribe, people and language, 
standing before the throne 
and 
before the Lamb.













I've heard two people give me amazing participation in the Holy Spirit. One person explained earnest prayer is given at night, every new day Jesus makes all things new. As prayer is made with tremendous Love and complete expectation.

Another person told me in Bible Study, they feel how much Jesus Christ loves them daily and want to participate. And this person went on to pray for us all to have this discernment. To know the Love Jesus has for us, makes us want others to have this in their lives daily.



Almost all people who dream of Heaven and see the Gates of Heaven, fixed into the walls of Heaven = looking into the inside - (Revelation reveals Living Stones of many colors) report the walls of Heaven walking up to Heaven are this color.

The same color as the Temple in Jerusalem. Even the people who did not know this, report this color. The walls of Heaven sit up on a hill. Looking up to walk to the Gates of Heaven.




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."

Dwell in us.
Help us to seek You first.
And help us, in Jesus, to finish well.

Bless us to have the ones we Love, add to Your Adventure Today. 
Help them to take Your Blessings and "Give us the Day." 
Enfolded in Your Love. With Gratitude.

Help the Nations Trusting in You to comprehend the height 
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, 
More Heaven on earth.
 Love, Joy and Peace.

In the Highest Name of Jesus we ask healing of the hurting nations. 
Cuba, Haiti, Germany, South Africa.
Ours with Flooding in many states and fires in others.

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, help us to finish Well.

Praying Healing for Elliott.
Thanking Jesus Dennis is out of the hospital. Healing.
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.

About scripture-for-today.blogspot.com/

We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He has saved all who call upon His name and rely on Him for His Grace. The Scriptures are living & active and are for understanding the Lord Almighty. 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

A simple blog, scripture-for-today.blogspot

This blog is pretty simple, but for a reason. This blog isn't about agenda or me, it is for the joy and love to found by reading the Scriptures. Ultimately, it is you and the Lord.

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. <><
