Micah 4:4 ~ The LORD of Hosts has spoken

 

Jesus told us Angels would arrive if He merely asked.

 The Heavenly Host arrived at His earthly beginning - we can well imagine God could call this out.

Nahum knew the Power of God.

Nahum 1:9

Whatever they plot against the LORD 

He will bring to an end; 

trouble will not come a second time.

The Old Testament has a bold statement from God saying He can bring the end of conflict, to any conflict. It's difficult to find the exact verse because we live in a world with conflict resolution being a process. God the Almighty says He brings Peace. His Word. In Great Power of His Being the Lord.

Ephesians 1:22-23 

And He put all things under His feet 

and gave Him as head over all things to the church, 

which is His body

The fullness of Him who fills all in all.

Psalm 24:1-2

The earth is the LORD's and the fullness thereof, 

the world and those who dwell therein, 

for he has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers.

Psalm 89:11

The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fullness thereof, thou hast founded them.

We could wonder, in Psalm 24, why He added founded on the seas and established upon the rivers. After the Light, God worked upon the waters. Psalm 24 suggests a process is involved. A waiting to seek and find. The Process of time involved in the Prodigal son. And yet 

Romans 8:28

And we know that for those who love God 

all things work together for good, 

for those who are called according to His Purpose.

Matthew 9:36

Now when Jesus saw the crowds, 

He had compassion for them 

because they were troubled and helpless, 

like sheep without a shepherd

Jesus did not appear to have compassion on the woman from Syrophoenician, until she said she would be like a dog, sitting humbly to have the crumbs.  Her faith was also saying, she understands Jesus is the Shepherd of many. We are touched by the Lord and our hearts are warm, but we understand in mature faith, Jesus comes to save ... the world. If we have faith, our prayers are answered and the Lord's Prayer says Your Good Will be done on earth as in Heaven. We say answer us in Your Plan. The Lord is the Way, the Truth and the Life. 

And, as surely as Jesus walks on water, all things are Possible with God. The believers of the Lord, this is a reminder. 2/3rds of Believers will tell you how they know their heart's prayer was answered, with only the Lord able to complete the Good Work.

Micah 4:4

Everyone shall sit 

every man under his vine 

and under his fig tree,

 and no one shall make them afraid, 

for the mouth of the LORD of Hosts 

has spoken.

John 8:2 

Early the next morning He was back again at the Temple. 

The crowd soon gathered, and he sat down and taught them.

Mark 4:1 

Once again, Jesus 

began to teach beside the sea,

 and such a large crowd gathered

He got into a boat and sat in it out on the boat in the sea 

and sat down; 

and the whole crowd was beside the sea on the land

 

Matthew 5:1 

When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain and sat down. 

His disciples came to him.

John 6:10

 

Now there was plenty of grass in that place, Jesus said, 

"Have the people sit down."

 And they sat down, about five thousand were there.

Mark 16:19 

 After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them...

He was taken up into Heaven 

and He sat at the right hand of God, 

taken up into heaven 

and sat down in the place of honor.

Psalm 147:14

14 He makes peace in your borders; 

He satisfies you with the finest of the wheat. 

15 He sends forth His command to the earth; 

His word runs very swiftly.

Leviticus 26:6 

I will grant peace in the land, 

and you will lie down 

and no one will make you afraid. 

I will remove wild beasts from the land, 

and the sword will not pass through your country.

Consider this Gospel:

Matthew 22

23 The same day Sadducees came to him,
who say that there is no resurrection, and they asked him a question,

24 saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies having no children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.’ 25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother. 26 So too the second and third, down to the seventh. 27 After them all, the woman died. 28 In the resurrection, therefore, of the seven, whose wife will she be? For they all had her.”

29 But Jesus answered them, “You are wrong because you know neither

The Scriptures and the Power of God.

30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. 31 And as for the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was said to you by God: 

32‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?

 He is not God of the dead, but of the living.”

33 And when the crowd heard it, they were astonished at his teaching. 

34 But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, 

they gathered together.

This passage is one of great importance and a favorite of mine:

The Word of God manifest applauds the Living Scriptural Word of God. We all might hope Jesus shook the earth as He said, "The Scriptures and the Power of God."

God gave us Jesus. Jesus gave us Salvation. 
The Word of God made manifest could have peace anytime He wanted Peace.

Jesus sets the witnesses for Resurrection in the son rising alive for the Widow of Nain and Jesus' Blessing.

Jesus sets the Blessing in understanding - God didn't have to have Jesus spar with Words. God's Word stood Alive and Active as Today.

Jesus is God's Word as Power.

Jesus is without fear.

The people saw Jesus and Jesus daily loadeth them with benefits.
Living Water reaching us two millenniums later.

The Word of God - the Disciples find  Jesus can end the storm and the wind
and we discover that believing in His Word we are part of this.

The Promises of God are sure.

Abba, Father

When Jesus prays with us, we have the results of His Love. 

We ask this Blessing.

When we ask You, You are present. 

And the meal is more nourishing than the food for the people living in Love.

When we consider the summer - we recall days of our childhood and life where summer would never end. The day lasted a long time, then we have an idea of Heaven's days. We have a glimpse of Heaven. And our hearts remember Joy of memories You have given us of Abundant Life. These remembrances are Joy.

Cover our Loved ones with this Joy. Jesus tells us He had such Joy in this life.

Let the people You have given us know these blessings of Yours.

Help the Nation trusting in You to have the gratitude in them of God - guiding us.

Bless our employments, dreams, efforts and striving. 

In the Strength of God, we will go farther than we ask or imagine.

Bless the Bible and Jesus believing Churches to radiate the Love God has - and all are blessed.

Bless all the Nations trusting in You to have more Holy Spirit and more Heaven on earth. 

We build when we believe and trust - our words and deeds build us all.

Bless us in our hopes - that as we please You daily - our will rejoices in Your Will. 

Our Father's Gracious Will for our heart, hearth, family, health with Joy and Love.

Please dwell in us and those we pray for.

Dwell in those we Love.

Help us to seek You first.

And we will finish well in Jesus Christ.

A Grateful Heart to the Lord God Almighty, Father.

Please Bless us 

renew us to rest and to be productive. 

For security. 

All our hopes of Healing

and Recovery are in Jesus Christ.

Amen and Amen and Amen in Jesus.

Matthew 10:16

Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be ye therefore wise as serpents and harmless as doves.

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God” 

The best way to have peace, is to be wise.

Abba, Father,

From the rising of the sun to its setting, 

the name of the Lord is to be praised

 Because of the tender mercy of our God, 

whereby the sunrise shall visit us from on high to give light 

to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, 

to guide our feet

 into 

the way of peace. 

We pray for Peace

as a Nation

and as the world 

recovers from the loss of food

in Ukraine

and because of Pandemic Recovery

We pray for Peace

Victory over the warmonger

and the vengeful.

We'd like to see

Peace again in the Middle East

and for Ukraine

at the Border of the USA.

For Taiwan.

In the Highest Name of Jesus

we ask His Help.

Amen

Romans 8:22-39 ~ it is God who justifies

Romans 8:22-39

22 For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. 23 And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. 24 For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.

26 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. 27 And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. 28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good [God works all things together for good, or God works in all things for the good], for those who are called according to his purpose. 29 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30 And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.

31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? 33 Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36 As it is written,

“For your sake we are being killed all the day long;
we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”

37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

God intercedes for us. The woman grabbing the fringe of His Robe, wasn't God. God allows our worries, as the woman grabbed Jesus, to fall aside and the striving is the importance of the Lord. We are more than conquerors through Him who loves us. Nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

How much does God help us? Here it says, the Holy Spirit of God helps us.

What did the people who had seen Jesus say about the willingness of God:

Peter wrote, saying Jesus does not help us under compulsion. He helps willingly.

1 Peter 5:2
Care for the flock that God has entrusted to you. Watch over it willingly, not grudgingly--not for what you will get out of it, but because you are eager to serve God.

Peter once knelt before Jesus and asked Him to leave after seeing Jesus act on God's glory. Peter saw Jesus Resurrected and jumped out the boat, knowing Peter had betrayed Jesus. Peter wasn't just physically fed breakfast, Peter was asked to be part of God's love and work. Jesus justified Peter and forgave his weaknesses.


John lived with Jesus. John says God lavishes His love on us:

1 John 3:1
How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

John fully lived most of his adult life knowing he was adopted by Jesus. Changing his life for the great love, the glory, John wrote of 18 times in his Gospel written with the Holy Spirit.

Matthew wrote:

Matthew 5:44
But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you

Jesus saw past the Temple Priests being picked by Herod and knew the Tax Collectors were just as much under Roman authority. Matthew, a son of Alpheus was from the Capernaum area - an upwardly mobile Jew working for the despised Romans. Matthew was so thrilled to be chosen by Jesus, Matthew didn't throw Jesus a party, Matthew gave Jesus a feast. Matthew brought every tax collector and thug (sinner) he could. Matthew was in awe at the forgiveness of God.

Mark 12:31
The second is this:" 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these."

The Harmony of Heaven. The way your favorite Hymn fills your heart and nourishes you.

Paul, as were all the disciples of Jesus, was sent out two by two. Paul loved Barnabas and really did not like Barnabus' cousin John Mark. Mark would go on to take the Word of God all over the world, through the centuries. We read the Gospel John Mark wrote as he matured in the Lord. What help John Mark grow? Barnabas was willing to love John Mark as himself. Only the Holy Spirit living in the people who had loved Jesus helped this man grow in the Lord.

Who was Jude? The brother of Jesus. The one who taunted Jesus to run up to Jerusalem to proclaim Jesus' ministry and later went to claim Him to come home and recover from being out of His mind. Jude - had his mother, Mary, given to John. Not in unkindness, but Jesus knew:

What was Jude's point of view on God's love?

Jude 1:2
Mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance.

And James, the brother of Jesus:

James 1:12
Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

James 1:27
Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.

We don't save the world. Or our loved ones. Jesus is the Salvation of those who are eager for Jesus and listen to His Word. Doing His Word.

Father, Abba,

On the days we do not appreciate all of our blessings, help infuse our blessings into our heart, minds and soul. Let every blood cell carry gratitude in us to our Joy 

And the Joy of Jesus Christ.

Help us to gather wisdom without shrewdness. Let us have the joy of gladness in our fellowship without the endless gathering of resources and funds.

Lord, in Your mercy, send help, in these days of gloom and unhappiness. Let those of us having a good season shine the Light of Jesus Christ so gently and brightly the world is eager for Jesus Christ. Let those of us having a season of stress and sorrow, believe gently and bring the Light of Jesus Christ for all of us.

In the Great Love of Jesus, 

we all be saved as we put our trust in Him.

Bless You, Father, for Jesus Christ. Amen.

John 14:21,22 ~ in God

 

John 14:21,22

Whoever does what is true comes to the light, 

so that it may be clearly seen that 

his works 

have been carried out in God. 

 After this 

Jesus and His disciples 

went into the Judean countryside, 

and He remained there with them 

and was baptizing

Jesus was Baptizing? Why? According to Mark's Gospel, the 3rd Chapter, Jesus said for all righteousness. To welcome righteousness. The Gospels are filled with so many miracles. Chapters telling us, "Jesus healed them all."  The whole large crowd would be healed of complex physical ailments. A renewed and healthy life.

Yet not everyone who came into the smaller towns and wilderness was lame, blind, deaf or leprous. Not everyone was poor. The Book of Acts records the people in Herod's own household were coming to know Jesus and His Word. Jesus tells us He was tired of the people who wanted to see the miracles and be fed, but really wanted to only receive and have a full stomach.

Jesus would have wanted all the people, His people, His Beloved to remain whole, seeing, hearing and clean. When Jesus said repent, Baptism is giving a sign for renewal.  Renewed lives. New thoughts. Hope. Faith and Love.

Matthew 3

16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, He went up out of the water. 

At that moment, Heaven was opened, 

and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove 

and alighting on Him. 

17 And a Voice from Heaven said, 

“This is my Son, Whom I Love; 

with Him I am well pleased.”

Abba, Father,

Dwell in us mightily.

Know every cell and bring Light

within us in Your Joy and Love.

Be the Light to those I Love.

Help this Joy fill Your Good Creation.

Help us to not grow weary

Renew us

remembering our Living Water 

Streams of

 Jesus Christ, Messiah, Son of the Most High

In Your Mercy

help us to be

Your Joyful Temple.

Help us to Seek You First

and Pray

to You

in Jesus Christ

with all Joy of Your Steadfast

Love.

In The Highest Name of

Jesus Christ

we believe

and 

ask

Please Father,

Your Willing and Immeasurable

Blessings!

Our Father is able to do immeasurably more 

than all we ask or imagine, 

according to His power 

that is at work within us, 

to Him be the glory in the church 

and 

in Christ Jesus 

throughout all generations, 

forever and ever. 

Amen.
