Mark 6:53-56 ~ many touched Jesus

Mark 6:53-56

 When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and moored to the shore. 54 And when they got out of the boat, the people immediately recognized him 55 and ran about the whole region and began to bring the sick people on their beds to wherever they heard He was.

56 And wherever He came, in villages, cities, or countryside, 

they laid the sick in the marketplaces and

 implored Him 

that they might touch even the fringe of His garment.

And as many as touched it were made well.

Linen was worn frequently in the Bible and makes fringe easily.

We can remember the description of the Temple

and realize Jesus as a Baby probably heard worship music

Psalm 33

Shout for joy in the Lord, O you righteous!

Praise befits the upright.

Give thanks to the Lord with the lyre;

make melody to him with the harp of ten strings!

Sing to Him a new song;

play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts.

For the word of the Lord is upright,

and all his work is done in faithfulness.

 He loves righteousness and justice;

the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord.

 By the Word of the Lord the heavens were made,

and by the breath of his mouth all their host.

He gathers the waters of the sea as a heap;

he puts the deeps in storehouses.

 Let all the earth fear the Lord;

let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him!

 For He spoke, and it came to be;

He commanded, and it stood firm.

 The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing;

He frustrates the plans of the peoples.

The counsel of the Lord stands forever,

The plans of His heart to all generations.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,

the people whom He has chosen as His heritage!

 The Lord looks down from Heaven;

He sees all the children of man;

from where He sits enthroned 

He looks out

on all the inhabitants of the earth

He who fashions the hearts of them all

and observes all their deeds.

 The king is not saved by his great army;

a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.

The war horse is a false hope for salvation,

and by its great might it cannot rescue.

Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him,

on those who hope in His steadfast love,

 that He may deliver their soul from death

and 

keep them alive in famine.

Job 5:9

He performs wonders unfathomed, marvelous miracles 

that cannot be counted.

Our soul waits for the Lord;

He is our help and our shield.

For our heart is glad in Him,

because we trust in His Holy Name.

Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us,

even as we hope in You.

Philippians 3:1 to four years of age.

Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord.

To write the same things to you is no trouble to me and is safe for you.

Public School crt book about, "Max" or the book called "Calvin."

An agenda book about sexual issues 

geared to children who can't spell 'cat' or 'dog'.

Foul.  Leon Trotsky wrote a book on engineering Totalitarianism. 

Absolute Karl Marx advice manipulate the people morally.

In their confusion, they become like sheep to look to political handouts

and all their answers in rhetoric and agenda.

2 Look out for the dogs, look out for the evildoers, look out for those who mutilate the flesh. 3 For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh— 4 though I myself have reason for confidence in the flesh also.

Matthew 18:10

See that you do not despise one of these little ones.

For I tell you that their angels in Heaven

always see the Face of My Father in Heaven

 Abba, Father,

Thank You, Father God, for Your Wonders of a New Year. 

You make all things new in Jesus Christ.

 Jesus tells us You are working and Jesus with You. 

We pray for Colorado.

We pray for their recovery.

And we ask for fewer weather incidents.

More of Your Holy Spirit this New Year, having You dwell in us 

God of Love. 

God of Encouragement.

For our history, our generations

have pleased You

Loving and Caring for our Children.

Look with us, and Bless us, Father.

Smile upon us, remembering

our heart to please our families

and You.

Forgive us when we err

in weakness, need and fear.

Strengthen us in Your Love.

Thanks be to Jesus, for His Grace upon Grace.

I will wait upon God all the days of my life and dwell in the House of Lord for His Word to me. Alleluia. Christmas is coming again. 

This is as sure as the Promises of God for us in eternity who call upon Jesus.

 Speak the Word God and I shall be well. 

Psalm 139:1-18,23-24

O Lord, you have searched me and known me!

2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up;

    you discern my thoughts from afar.

3 You search out my path and my lying down

    and are acquainted with all my ways.

4 Even before a word is on my tongue,

    behold, O Lord, you know it altogether.

5 You hem me in, behind and before,

    and lay your hand upon me.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;

    it is high; I cannot attain it.

7 Where shall I go from your Spirit?

    Or where shall I flee from your presence?

8 If I ascend to heaven, you are there!

    If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!

9 If I take the wings of the morning

    and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,

10 even there your hand shall lead me,

    and your right hand shall hold me.

11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me,

    and the light about me be night,”

12 even the darkness is not dark to you;

    the night is bright as the day,

    for darkness is as light with you.

13 For you formed my inward parts;

    you knitted me together in my mother's womb.

14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

Wonderful are your works;

    my soul knows it very well.

15 My frame was not hidden from you,

when I was being made in secret,

    intricately woven in the depths of the earth.

16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance;

in your book were written, every one of them,

    the days that were formed for me,

    when as yet there was none of them.

17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!

    How vast is the sum of them!

18 If I would count them, they are more than the sand.

    I awake, and I am still with you.

23 Search me, O God, and know my heart!

    Try me and know my thoughts!

24 And see if there be any grievous way in me,

    and lead me in the way everlasting!

Abba, 

Your wrath is covered when we believe in Jesus.

Psalm 139 is the perfect reminder in all of Psalm 139.

Jesus helps us daily to find the path of Love and Encouragement.

Abba,

Matthew 13:31,32

Jesus put before them another parable: “The Kingdom of Heaven 

is like a mustard seed that a man planted in his field.

 Although it is the smallest of all seeds, 

yet it grows into the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, 

so that the birds of the air come 

and 

nest in its branches.”

Romans 12:9-10 ~ Let Love be without hypocrisy

Hebrews 1:7

He says: "Let all God's angels worship Him. Now about angels 

He says, "He makes His angels wind, His servants flames of fire."

 

Romans 12:9-10

Let love be without hypocrisy. 

Abhor what is evil; 

cling to what is good. 

Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; 

give preference to one another

 in honor.

We had all types of Christmas interruption this year. 

We had stores who had more than enough, stores selling out weeks before Christmas. Stores who offered sales early. Stores who didn't offer sales. Black Friday is called this awful name because the stores typically run in the red and hope 20% of all sales will kick off and put the stores in the Black.  Financially, this is the tone for Retail the next year. And other industries and financial sectors look to Retail to plan for the next year.

We had October give us hope, Covid was wearing out. We suddenly had a spike from Delta and the lesser Omicron. All along we did pray for the lesser Omicron to prevail, disease experts had said from February 2020, we needed a weak and highly contagious variant. 

Travel interrupted Christmas. Quarantine interrupted Christmas.

Like the Magi Christmas, we are having a later Christmas.

Later than the Birth of Jesus, Jesus Christ the Babe of God was housed not in the stable, but in a House.

John 4:20-26

Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.” 

21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. 22 You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. 

23 But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. 

24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” 

25 The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming (he who is called Christ). When he comes, he will tell us all things.” 

26 Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am he.”

Nehemiah 8:10

Nehemiah said, "Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared.

This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.

Romans 8:28

All things work together for good to them that love God, 

to them who are the called according to his purpose. 

Today we ask of You, Father Abba, a Blessing and Receive. We find our Joy.

We will place our Trust in You.

Jesus with the people we Love. Jesus with our cares and concerns. Jesus with the people You have given us. To You, Our Father, Who can do more than we ask or imagine.

We are remembering Answered Prayers.

Jesus is God and His Blessing covering all His Creation asking for more Heaven on earth. 

Abba, Father,

Jesus Son of God - Bless, Heal, Sustain, Comfort, Guide

 God Bless Us!

We long for Your Love and help, Father God, to have Your Kingdom, 

Power and Glory upon Your Throne. 

The Fringe of Your Robe 

placed upon all of Your Good Creation. 

The Balm of Gilead - Jesus - rubbed just where we hurt.

Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of Hosts. 

We pray more of Your Good Will filling the whole earth with Your Glory.

We will

 Remember our answered Prayers. 

And live this Day. Looking in expectation 

You will strengthen us, 

And the ones we Love. 

We will Seek You first and find Your Kingdom.

Covering us with the Name and Power of Jesus,

Brave people. Holding up Life for one another.

We are People with the Help of Jesus,

we can make

Redemption

Strength.

Praying the Victory!

And Virus end!

Knowing God is going to bring

us past the storms into

His Plan of desired Haven 

Abba, Delta is the mathematical symbol of Change,

we pray to end all storms for us. We pray Omicron to be a blessing.

Dwell in us, in those we Love.

Help us to see You first.

And we will finish well.

Amen in Jesus. Amen.

Amos 9:5-15 ~ Behold

 

Amos 9:5-15

The Lord God of hosts,

He who touches the earth and it melts,

and all who dwell in it mourn,

and all of it rises like the Nile,

and sinks again, like the Nile of Egypt;

6 Who builds His upper chambers in the heavens

and founds His vault upon the earth;

who calls for the waters of the sea

and pours them out upon the surface of the earth—

the Lord is his name!

7 “Are you not like the Cushites to me,

O people of Israel?” declares the Lord.

“Did I not bring up Israel from the land of Egypt,

and the Philistines from Caphtor and the Syrians from Kir?

8 Behold, the eyes of the Lord God are upon the sinful kingdom,

and I will destroy it from the surface of the ground,

except that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,”

declares the Lord.

9 “For behold, I will command,

and shake the house of Israel among all the nations

as one shakes with a sieve,

but no pebble shall fall to the earth.

10 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword,

who say, ‘Disaster shall not overtake or meet us.’

11 “In that day I will raise up

the booth of David that is fallen

and repair its breaches,

and raise up its ruins

and rebuild it as in the days of old,

12 that they may possess the remnant of Edom

and all the nations who are called by my name,”

declares the Lord who does this.

13 “Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord,

“when the plowman shall overtake the reaper

and the treader of grapes him who sows the seed;

the mountains shall drip sweet wine,

and all the hills shall flow with it.

14 I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel,

and they shall rebuild the ruined cities and inhabit them;

they shall plant vineyards and drink their wine,

and they shall make gardens and eat their fruit.

15 I will plant them on their land,

and they shall never again be uprooted

out of the land that I have given them,”

says the Lord your God.

I love Matthew Henry! Any day of the week, he is beautiful and eloquent. Loving and Tender

as God. The English language has changed in the 250 + years he had his Bible Commentery:

Matthew Henry’s commentary on Amos:
GOD employed a shepherd, a herdsman! One who cares for others tenderly. And uses this tender person to reprove and warn the people. Those to whom God gives abilities for his services, ought not to be despised for their origin, or their employment. Like the advice of Gamaliel - what comes from God should not be tampered with. God places His Holy Spirit in all who believe. Good news.

Let us continue earnest in prayer for the fulfillment of these prophecies, in the peace, purity, and the beauty of the Church! God marvelously preserves his elect amidst the most fearful confusions and miseries. When all seems desperate, He wonderfully revives His Church, and blesses her with all spiritual blessings in Christ Jesus. And great shall be the glory of that period, in which not one good thing promised shall remain unfulfilled.

God does this! 

HE is a giver, 

a bringer,

a maker of blessings! 

Who can do it! The Great I Am has determined to do it! 

God's Power of Whose Grace is engaged,  doing this mighty work! Verses 13 to 15- when are these days? - In the awakening of the Holy Spirit within us - And - Possible in each day.


People say they want blessings - and we are made to adapt.

We can adjust to lack of blessings and find joy - however - we work the other way too. 

We adapt to being blessed and become fussy while being blessing receivers. Abraham was a fussy blessing receiver. David did far better being a dodge Israel mercenary than a king in a palace.

What will be our response to blessings of God?

This is a Very Large Topic  reacting to God's blessings. A God sized topic.

Joseph's brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, 

"What if Joseph bears a grudge"

Joseph's father, Jacob had been hugely blessed of God by all his workings, yet Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed Esau came to meet him with 400 men; and he divided the people who were with him, and the flocks and the herds and the camels, into two companies; for he said, "If Esau comes to the one company and attacks it, then the company which is left will escape."

The completely heart-wrenching aspect of Jacob's fear, his family then knew who had value in their father's eyes. The most disposable were placed to die. Yes, this would be a very angry family to hear Joseph's dreams.

Israel in the Exodus - Deuteronomy 1:32-33
"But for all this, you did not trust the LORD your God, who goes before you on your way, to seek out a place for you to encamp, in fire by night and cloud by day, to show you the way in which you should go"

2 Kings 17:14-15
However, they did not listen, but stiffened their neck like their fathers, who did not believe in the LORD their God. They rejected His statutes and His covenant which He made with their fathers and His warnings with which He warned them And they followed vanity and became vain, and went after the nations which surrounded them, concerning which the LORD had commanded them not to do like them

Matthew 19:22
But when the young man heard this statement, he went away grieving; for he was one who owned much property.

John 2:24
But Jesus, on His part, was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men

God tells us where all good things come from:

Psalm 44

O God, we have heard with our ears,

our fathers have told us,

what deeds you performed in their days,

in the days of old:

2 you with your own hand drove out the nations,

but them you planted;

you afflicted the peoples,

but them you set free;

3 for not by their own sword did they win the land,

nor did their own arm save them,

but your right hand and your arm,

and the light of your face,

for you delighted in them.

4 You are my King, O God;

ordain salvation for Jacob!

5 Through you we push down our foes;

through your name we tread down those who rise up against us.

6 For not in my bow do I trust,

nor can my sword save me.

7 But you have saved us from our foes

and have put to shame those who hate us.

8 In God we have boasted continually,

and we will give thanks to your name forever. 

Selah

Psalm 32:9

8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; 

I will counsel you with My eye upon you. 

9 Do not be as the horse or as the mule which have no understanding, 

Whose trappings include bit and bridle to hold them in check, Otherwise they will not come near to you. 

10 Many are the sorrows of the wicked, 

But he who trusts in the LORD, loving-kindness shall surround him.…

Sorrows of the wicked...  Wouldn't trust involve - trust - to make peace?

The work Jesus said God gives mankind, is to have faith in the One He has sent. 

James 1:5

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.

Thank You, Father God, for blessings. Help us to be wise, loving, with joy and be blessed and be a blessing. We ask in Jesus. Amen.

Remembering, even Disciples have fear.

God Himself Bless, Sustain, Comfort, Guide

Jesus Christ Live in us.

Help us to seek You first.

Amen!
