Genesis 22:14-18 ~ surely bless

Genesis 22:14-18

Abraham named the place Yahweh-Yireh 

(which means “The LORD will provide”),

as it is said to this day, 

“On the mount of the LORD it shall be provided.”

15 And the angel of the Lord called to Abraham 

a second time from heaven 16 and said, 

“By myself I have sworn, 

declares the Lord, 

because you have done this and have not withheld your son, 

your only son, 

17 I will surely bless you, 

and I will surely multiply your offspring 

as the stars of heaven and 

as the sand that is on the seashore. 

And your offspring shall possess the gate of his enemies, 

18 and in your offspring shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed My Voice.”

When Solomon asked the Lord for His Blessing, the Lord was visibly active in the Temple. The Glory of God in the Cloud filled the Temple. Revelation 15 tells us we will see this repeat in The Lord's House in His Kingdom.

And our generation may have been blessed to see what the Lord saw in Creation, or the Cloud in the Temple in the Hubble photos.

Isaiah 43:1 

Now thus says the Lord, 

He who created you, O Jacob, 

He who formed you, O Israel: 

“Fear not, for I have redeemed you; 

I have called you by name, you are mine." 

The Christmas Narration in Luke 1 and 2

is God's Presence on earth

the arrival of God's Gift

His Only Son

Isaiah 43:1 

Now thus says the Lord, 

He who created you, O Jacob, 

He who formed you, O Israel: 

“Fear not, for I have redeemed you; 

I have called You by Name, You are Mine." 

 “The LORD will provide”),

as it is said to this day, 

“On the mount of the LORD it shall be provided.”

Ascension by Brian Jekel

The clouds look like people in darkness

becoming the people seeing a Great Light

Light of mankind

“By myself I have sworn, 

declares the Lord, 

because you have done this and have not withheld your son, 

Your Only Son 

17 I will surely bless you, 

and I will surely multiply your offspring 

as the stars of heaven and 

as the sand that is on the seashore. 

And your offspring shall possess the gate of his enemies, 

18 and in your offspring shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because 

you have obeyed My Voice.”

Many Prayers offered to the Lord

in this Season

Jerusalem and Mount Mariah have seen millenniums of the Works of God. God is still working.  Jesus traveled from the Sea of Galilee to Jerusalem, many times. And this is a 30 hour walk.  The process we would love, so dearly, to see. Jesus took the time.

Christmas is the time to let go of the conflict and find the still, small voice. The one telling us 

"’ereṣ hammôrā’āh",  rā’āh "to see" and "the land of vision." These words name the Peace found.

Abba, Father, 

  I was glad when they said to me,

    “Let us go to the house of the Lord!”

Our feet have been standing

    within your gates, O Jerusalem!

Jerusalem—built as a city

    that is bound firmly together,

to which the tribes go up,

    the tribes of the Lord,

as was decreed for Israel,

    to give thanks to the name of the Lord.

There thrones for judgment were set,

    the thrones of the house of David.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!

    “May they be secure who love you!

Peace be within your walls

    and security within your towers!”

For my brothers and companions' sake

    I will say, “Peace be within you!”

For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,

    I will seek your good.

Dwell in me,

Dwell in us,

Dwell in those we Love,

Help us to seek You first.

And we will finish well, in Jesus Christ. 

Help us find and bring

to become

 more Heaven

to this earth.

Your Plan, Your way,

Your Son Jesus Christ brings us

Salvation. Only Jesus.

Establish us on Your path,

help keep us near You

and on the path.

Your Wonderful Plan.

You Include All in Your Plan.

Encourage us in Love

Encourage us with Your Joy.

Jesus, teach us to follow You

more closely in Your Word.

We pray for the Peace of Israel.

For those in war, to have lasting and 

meaningful Peace.

The Reconciliation of Jesus

and the Unity of

the faith worldwide.

Our God is working. His Son, 

Jesus is working.

In Jesus,

Amen.

We pray for a 

Time of Healing

for All People

in 
Jesus Christ

Matthew 10:29-33 ~ before My Father

 

Christmas is a time we consider, and wonder, how infinity large and Almighty the Lord God is. The Book of Hebrews tells us the Lord God Almighty upholds the universe with the power of His Word. We learn the Heavenly Host appears to look into the Salvation of Jesus Christ. And He calls them all by name. And Isaiah tells us no one is left behind in His Plan and Purpose and Good Pleasure.

In His Plan so vast, spanning His universe and millenniums, how would we believe our prayers will be heard. Would we matter to the Lord our God... 

 Revelation 4 

 At once I was in the Spirit, 

and 

Behold, 
A Throne stood in Heaven, with One seated on the Throne. 

And He who sat there 

had the appearance of jasper and carnelian, 

and around the Throne was a rainbow that had the appearance of an emerald. 

Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, 

and seated on the thrones were twenty-four elders, 

clothed in white garments, 

with golden crowns on their heads.

 From the Throne came flashes of lightning, and rumblings 

and peals of thunder, 

and before the Throne were burning seven torches of fire, 

which are the seven Spirits of God

Matthew 10:29-33

Matthew 10

29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? 

And not one of them 
will fall to the ground apart from your Father. 

30 But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. 

31 Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. 

32 So everyone who acknowledges Me before men, 

I also will acknowledge before My Father 

Who is in Heaven, 

but whoever denies Me before men, 

I also will deny before My Father 

Who is in Heaven.

Ephesians 1:10

 

As a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in Him, 

things in Heaven and things on earth.

The perfect explanation of the Preparation

for The Blessing of Jesus Christ on Christmas:

Abba, Father,

Dwell in me,

Dwell in us,

Dwell in those we Love,

Help us to seek You first.

And we will finish well, in Jesus Christ. 

Help us find and bring

to become

 more Heaven

to this earth.

Your Plan, Your way,

Your Son Jesus Christ brings us

Salvation. Only Jesus.

Establish us on Your path,

help keep us near You

and on the path.

Your Wonderful Plan.

You Include All in Your Plan.

Encourage us in Love

Encourage us with Your Joy.

Jesus, teach us to follow You

more closely in Your Word.

He's got the whole world in His Hands.

He's got the wind and the rain in His Hands.

He's got the whole world in His Hands.

He's got the Little Tiny Baby 

in His Hands. 

He's got the whole world in His Hands.

He's got you and me, brother, in His Hands. 

He's got the whole world in His Hands.

He's got you and me, sister, in His Hands. 

He's got the whole world in His Hands.

He's got everybody here in His Hands. 

He's got the whole world in His Hands.

Peace.

Bless families with living, loving hearts,

Reawaken God being first.

Bless this Nation.

Bless the Nations who need You.

We pray for the Peace of Israel.

For those in war, to have lasting and 

meaningful Peace.

The Reconciliation of Jesus

and the Unity of

the faith worldwide.

Our God is working. His Son, 

Jesus is working.

In Jesus,

Isaiah 42:1-3 ~ He will faithfully bring forth

 

 

Isaiah 42:1-3

“Behold, my servant whom I have chosen,

my beloved with whom my soul is well pleased.

I will put my Spirit upon Him,

and He will proclaim justice to the Gentiles.

He will not quarrel or cry aloud,

nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets;

a bruised reed He will not break,

and a smoldering wick He will not quench,

until He will faithfully bring forth justice

Faithfully, our Savior:

Jesus especially trusts people who trust Him for solutions and miracles. 

Jesus, just like His Father, wants His People to Expect Good from Him. The Ten Talents.

Jesus once told us the story of the persistent woman with the Judge. Jesus expects to answer those who keep asking.  He forgives us for thinking He is the disinterested and self-interested Judge. Busy Judge. 

Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.

Jesus doesn't expect us to treat Him as a waiter. The woman of faith, asking Jesus for healing for her daughter, knew Him to be Sovereign.

Abba, Father,

Jesus gave His Father

a new Heaven and a new earth.

We know God heard Hannah. We know God helped Judith,

Deborah.

Jesus fills His life with the lowly and unlikely. 

Mary Magdalene, His own mother Mary,

we see recorded, later, in Scripture, His aunts, the Samaritan woman,

and the Phoenician woman. Jesus was changing the world, 

Bishop Barron points out, Eve to Ava.

The daughter of Jairus, only just a girl child.

The prayers of the unlikely were heard.

Thank You, Jesus Christ Lord. 

For answering our prayers. 

We will Trust in You. Amen.
