Matthew 12:7-13 ~ Mercy

 



Matthew 12:7-13



‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the guiltless. 8 For the Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath. 9

 He went on from there and entered their synagogue. 10 And a man was there with a withered hand. And they asked Him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”—so that they might accuse Him. 

11 He said to them, “Which one of you who has a sheep, if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not take hold of it and lift it out? 12 Of how much more value is a man than a sheep! So it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.” 

13 Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” 

And the man stretched it out, and it was restored, healthy like the other. 




 Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

 For everything there is a season, 
and a time for every matter 
under heaven:

2 a time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
3 a time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 a time to seek, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 a time to tear, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 a time to love, and a time to hate;
a time for war, and a time for peace.



The Season of Jesus' Life
is Mercy
Abundant Mercy

Scriptures tell us, in Isaiah 7, the time of Jesus' visitation was well planned out by Our Father.
And Jesus describes the time in:


Luke 11:29 

And when the multitudes were gathering together unto him, he began to say, This generation is an evil generation: it seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it but the sign of Jonah.

Matthew 17:16-18

16 And I brought him to your disciples, and they could not heal him. 17 And Jesus answered, “O faithless and twisted generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him here to me.” 18 And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him, and the boy was healed instantly.


Luke 11 is irony. There were so many signs of Jesus, the Dead Sea Scroll records the similarity to the Messiah. John 21 says so many signs, the world and all the books couldn't record all the signs of Jesus.


Deuteronomy 28:47

Serve the Lord your God 
with joyfulness and gladness of heart, 
because of the abundance of all things

Deuteronomy 12:7

There, in the presence of the LORD your God, 
you and your households 
shall eat and rejoice in all you do, 
because the LORD your God has blessed you.

Psalm 100:2

Serve the LORD with gladness!
 Come into His presence with singing!


We remember with Joy the Love Jesus did not withhold from His People.  Jesus did not want His Beloved to think of His life as without supreme Joy. And Jesus is the Exact Nature of His Father.

Never, never, never forget Jesus did not whitewash the truth of the difficulty of the time, the season of evil. Jesus knew what Righteousness was and evil. And in His Love, he healed what was broken to strengthen this for Righteousness.

This is our God!



Abba, Father,

You are working
and so is Your Son, Jesus.

We see South America boldly proclaiming
to live within the authority of God 
in the goals for their culture
and Ireland.
The Church of England.

We want to live
and breathe
and have our being
in your 
Way,
Life 
and Truth.

Dwell in us, Father,
we ask in the Highest Name of Jesus.
Dwell, fully, in those we love

Help us to seek You 
first
and we will finish well 
in Jesus Christ.

We pray 
Peace
for Israel
and Your Good Creation.
Continued Healing
and all Good Health!



Thank You.

Our God is working. His Son,
Jesus is working.
Amen.

Matthew 11:29 ~ will find Rest for our souls

 



Jesus telling us about Who He Truly Is:

Jesus plainly and clearly bore witness to Himself.



Matthew 11:29
Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.


Jesus repeated what God said to Moses:


Matthew 22:31-32
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."



Matthew 28:22b
Behold, I am
 with you always, to the end of the age.


John 5:17

But Jesus answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.”



John 6:35

Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.”


John 6:51
I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”


John 8:12

Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”



John 8:18

I am
 the one who bears witness about myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness about me.



John 10:9

I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture.


John 10:11

I am
 the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.



John 10:14

I am
 the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me
.



John 10:38
If I do them [works], even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.


John 11:25
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live.”



John 12:32

And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.



John 14:6
Jesus said to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”


John 15:1

I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.”


John 17:9

I am
 praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.



John 10:30
The Father and I are one.



John 4:26

Jesus said to her, “
I who speak to you am he [Messiah, he who is called Christ].”


Mark 14:62

And Jesus said, I am [
the Christ, the Son of the Most Blessed
], and you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.”







Abba, Father,


You are the Light of the World. 
Reach into the darkness and have Love Shine with Light. 
We ask You to take what is broken and mend this.

In Your Holy Spirit 
we ask forgiveness for sins,
and Your help for forgiveness
and guidance
create and renew Real Joy and Giving Thanks
within us.

Help us to be the one who
gives thanks with meaningful purpose.

Victory is Certain in Christ Jesus The Lord.
And to gain strength
with hope and health!


Dwell in us, Father,
we ask in the Highest Name of Jesus.
Dwell, fully, in those we love

Help us to seek You 
first
and we will finish well 
in Jesus Christ.

We pray 
Peace
for Israel
and Your Good Creation.
Continued Healing
and all Good Health!

John 21:4-8 ~ It is the Lord!







John 21:4-8





4 Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. 

5 Jesus said to them, “Children, do you have any fish?” 

They answered Him, “No.” 

6 He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish.



 7 That disciple whom Jesus loved therefore said to Peter, “It is the Lord!”

When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment, for he was stripped for work, and threw himself into the sea. 

8 The other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land, but about a hundred yards off.






Lent is the season, where we remember to see and put Jesus Christ first in our thoughts. 

Jesus is in the distance. As we have known Him from afar, at least part of our lives.

John 21 is the Disciples coping with their desertion sins and their hope in Jesus as God.  This is the day the Lord has made, and they will do what is at hand, coping. Surely, not all the Joy of seeing Jesus every day. Emotionally, a time of examination and wonder.  A day when observation skills probably come in a distant third or further. 

And the wind blows where it will!  And knowing Jesus, as the day proceeds, astonishment and events, have the Disciples scanning the Horizon of The Lord.

A good explanation of Lent 2024.






Matthew 6:33 

Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, 
and all these things will be added to you.



1 Timothy 2:1 

First of all,
 then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, 
and thanksgivings 
be made
 for all people


Psalm 111:10 

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


Being mindful of God holding the Universe together with His Word. Authority of God. His Word asks love and mercy. And not to fall short.








Abba, Father,

In Your Holy Spirit 
we ask forgiveness for sins,
and Your help for forgiveness
and guidance
create and renew Real Joy and Giving Thanks
within us.

Help us to be the one who
gives thanks with meaningful purpose.

Victory is Certain in Christ Jesus The Lord.
And to gain strength
with hope and health!


Dwell in us, Father,
we ask in the Highest Name of Jesus.
Dwell, fully, in those we love

Help us to seek You 
first
and we will finish well 
in Jesus Christ.

We pray 
Peace
for Israel
and Your Good Creation.
Continued Healing
and all Good Health!



Thank You.

Jesus is working.

Matthew 8:16-17 ~ Healed

 




Matthew 8:16-17



That evening they brought to Him 
many who were oppressed by demons, 
and 
He cast out the spirits with a Word 
and 
healed all 
who were sick. 

This was 
to fulfill 
what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah: 

“He took our illnesses 
and 
bore our diseases.”


As I have told you, our children moved far away, and we heard they would not be coming for holidays because travel is too crowded. 

And in November, I had Covid, for 3 weeks of recovery, then, December, norovirus, giving Edward norovirus on Christmas. Then, in January, we calmed back down for Edward to have an internal bleed, putting him 'immediately' into the Critical Care portion of Methodist Hospital.  Returning home, in 4 days, Edward had Covid and would Not eat. My neighbors sent around a text praying for healing. Within the hour, the fever healed, Thank God, Edward sat up and ate, and the next day was completely well, according to the Covid Test.  (We also learned home tests for Covid expire within a year and give false negatives until the doctor's test says, Yes, you do have Covid.) 

So that week, February, we were walking the dogs! And our little one was urging me to keep up, so, I ran, tripped over a huge Pine root, became airborne, briefly skied through the air about 15 feet and landed, behind the motorboat doggie, on a gigantic root. This airborne accident blew out a vein in my left hand and still have the healing Hematoma. Not a small thing.

Then I had an allergy to Construction drywall, February, March, went to the doctor several times, lost ALL hearing in one ear for over a week. Had an ear blockage, which the doctor removed. I have been on more Prednisone and antibiotics than I had stomach lining.  To the acute hearing, I rattled from the meds I took for over 2 weeks with a change in meds during this time.  And a double middle ear, adult, infection. I'm sure I felt so terrible due to the meds being so many, as well as just tired of being ill. 



Saturday, we ate at the airport, which has a 6-story stairway. For the first time, I took 3 stops to breathe. 




Usually, one of the times, I pray, is when I am brushing my teeth. 
There is just something good about refreshing and praying. All most always, I am very cheerful and uplifted as I finish this.

And these last few weeks, I have prayed a prayer God has uplifted me.




When I am talking with The Lord, and I ask for uplifting and help, I visualize jumping. Actually, I visualize myself leaping.  A small jump with Joy. And I feel immediately better. Reaching up for attitude and health! Thank You, Father in Jesus Christ.




And then, I pray for my prayer list, for everyone to have healing and hope. Joy. An attitude of Joy and gratitude. Healing. 




And we will carry this Healing of Jesus to Easter and Beyond!








Jesus Ascends and with Him, we do as well.


A peace within.

Real Joy and Giving Thanks. 


Abba, Father,

In Your Holy Spirit 
we ask forgiveness for sins,
and Your help for forgiveness
and guidance
create and renew Real Joy and Giving Thanks
within us.

Help us to be the one who
gives thanks with meaningful purpose.

Victory is Certain in Christ Jesus The Lord.
And to gain strength
with hope and health!


Dwell in us, Father,
we ask in the Highest Name of Jesus.
Dwell, fully, in those we love

Help us to seek You 
first
and we will finish well 
in Jesus Christ.



Thank You.

Our God is working. His Son, 
Jesus is working.
Amen.

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. <><
