John 15:11 ~ That your Joy may be Complete

John 15:11

I have told you this... so that My Joy may be in you.

And 

That your Joy may be Complete 

Romans 5:1-21

Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through Him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's Love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. ...

Romans 12:12 

Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.

Matthew 6:33 

But seek first 

The kingdom of God 

and 

His righteousness, 

and all these things will be added to you.

AMERICAN BAR REPORT

"According to a recent report, the civil unrest in the summer of 2020 following the murder of George Floyd cost insurers around $2 billion, and the final number is likely to go even higher. That makes the last week of May and the first week of June 2020 the most expensive period of civil unrest in U.S. history. By comparison, the 1992 Los Angeles riots cost insurers $775 million (or $1.4 billion in today’s dollars), and the 1980 Miami riot cost $65 million ($204 million today).

George Floyd’s Death Led to Multiple Riots throughout the United States within a Very Short Time."

The facts surrounding the Wisconsin Riot, the Police behaved heinously. Governor Walz

would not send out the National Guard. President Trump sent the National Guard anyway. The National Guard sat idle. For 18 Hours, Wisconsin Rioted and Burned over the Governor's Police acting in a heinous manner. Police murder of George Floyd.  And finally, Governor Walz sent out the National Guard. And called to thank President Trump. Those are the clear and truthful Facts. 

We should not vote Harris Walz.

Proverbs 16:1-4 

The plans of the heart belong to man,

 but the answer of the tongue 

is from the Lord. 

All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, 

but the Lord weighs the spirit. 

Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established. 

The Lord has made everything for its purpose, 

even the wicked for the day of trouble.

  

  

  2 Thessalonians 3:16 

Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace at all times in every way. 

The Lord be with you all.

Isaiah 26:3 

You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, 

because he trusts in you.

Matthew 5:9 

Blessed are the peacemakers, 

for they shall be called sons of God

Fight the Good Fight. The Peace is won. By The Lord. I would rather plan to give generations of our children and unborn generations to have Peace. Worldwide Peace. Prosperity with Godliness than sit idly by.  My peace comes from The Lord. To please the Lord.  Let us have the honest Love and Truth. And not the easy lie. 

How will John explain Jesus. 

Jesus is God's Word of Messiah made Real. John continues to live to be quite old. And John tells us he sees Jesus in mankind. The Light of Jesus Christ, of Abba, in all of mankind. Nothing of darkness has stopped the Light of Jesus.

John 13:1

Now before the Feast of the Passover, 

when Jesus knew that His hour had come to depart out of this world 

to the Father, 

having loved His own who were in the world, 

He loved them to the end.

Abba, Father,

Dwell in us, please, Father.

Dwell in those we Love.

John 15:11 ~ Joy

John 15:11

I have told you this... so that My Joy may be in you.

And 

That your Joy may be Complete 

 Start afresh. Redeem our new creation. Looking at His Plan as good with a hope and a future.

Therefore, strengthen the hands that are weak and the knees that are feeble, and make straight paths for your feet, so that the limb which is lame may not be put out of joint, but rather be healed!

Where does this Encouragement come from? God. Jesus said - His Good News is this -

1 John 4:16

So we have come to know and to believe 

the Love that God has for us. 

God is Love, 

and whoever abides in love abides in God, 

and God abides in him.

  

Jeremiah 31:3 

The Lord appeared to him from far away.

 I have loved you with an everlasting love; 

therefore 

I have continued My Faithfulness to you.

  

Deuteronomy 7:9

 

Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, 

the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love 

with those who love Him 

and 

keep His commandments, 

to a thousand generations

1 John 4:10

 

In this is love, 

not that we have loved God 

but that He loved us 

and sent His Son 

to be the propitiation for our sins.  

  

  

Zephaniah 3:17

The Lord your God is in your midst,

 a Mighty One who will save; 

He will rejoice over you with gladness; 

He will quiet you by His Love; 

He will exult over you with loud singing.  

  

Matthew 6:34 

Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, 

for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. 

Sufficient for the day is its own trouble  

  

John 15:13

Greater love has no one than this, 

that someone lay down his life for his friends.  

Abba, Father,

Dwell in us, please, Father.

Dwell in those we Love.

Help us to seek You first.

In Jesus Christ, we will finish well.

John 1:1-14,17,29-35 ~ Lamb of God

 

John 1:1-14,17,29-35

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 He was with God in the beginning. 

Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In Him was life, and that life was the light of all people. 5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

6 There was a man sent from God whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. 8 He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.

9 The true Light that gives Light to everyone was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him. 11 He came to that which was His Own, but His Own did not receive Him. 12 Yet to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His Name, He gave the right to become children of God— 13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.

14 The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His Glory, the Glory of the One and Only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward Him and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, Who takes away the sin of the world! 30 This is the one I meant when I said, 'A Man who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.' 31 I myself did not know Him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that He might be revealed to Israel."

32 Then John gave this testimony: "I saw the Spirit come down from Heaven as a dove and remain on Him. 33 And I myself did not know Him, but the One who sent me to baptize with water told me, 'The Man on whom you see the Spirit come down and remain is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.' 34 I have seen and I testify that this is God's Chosen One."

35 The next day John was there again with two of his disciples. 36 When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, "Look, the Lamb of God!"

This is my favorite chapter of the Bible, John 1.


John has not penned a few lines. John has met, walked, talked, witnessed Jesus.

John 21:24

This is the disciple who testifies to these things 

and 

who wrote them down. 

We know that his testimony is true.

John has seen Jesus walk on water. Rescue Peter. Calm the Wind and the Waves. Cleanse 10 Lepers. John has been there to see Multitudes Fed by only what Jesus could provide. John knows the impact - of these Living Words - "He healed them all."


John has to explain what John has lived seeing a government execution all of Israel had seen. Jesus serving breakfast to the men Jesus formed to be His Disciples in all Seasons. John 21.

How will John explain Jesus. Jesus is God's Word of Messiah made Real. John continues to live to be quite old. And John tells us he sees Jesus in mankind. The Light of Jesus Christ, of Abba, in all of mankind. Nothing of darkness has stopped the Light of Jesus.

John 13:1

Now before the Feast of the Passover,

Matthew 9:18-26 ~ will Live

 

Matthew 9:18-26

WhileHe was saying these things to them, behold, a ruler came in and knelt before him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.”

19 And Jesus rose and followed him, with his disciples. 

20 And behold, a woman who had suffered from a discharge of blood for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment, 21 for she said to herself, “If I only touch his garment, I will be made well.” 22 Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, “Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.” And instantly the woman was made well.

23 And when Jesus came to the ruler's house and saw the flute players and the crowd making a commotion, 24 he said, “Go away, for the girl is not dead but sleeping.” And they laughed at him. 25 But when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose. 26 And the report of this went through all that district.

So many people say the Gospels were written in the 4th century by oral history. Which conflicts with Paul writing of the Temple sacrifices being done as he wrote. The Christian bishop, Papias of Hierapolis, about 100–140 AD, wrote: "Matthew collected the sayings of Jesus." Matthew identifies himself as a Tax Collector in this Chapter.

Does Jesus know about the confusion mere mortals face? How life isn't always apply this solution to this verse??

Jesus had 3 years to wow the crowd. When we get to the 9th Chapter of Matthew, Jesus had called the first set of disciples together, Matthew had not been part of the group called together in the 4th Chapter. The 8th Chapter lists 4 miracles. Jesus had been speaking with crowds of people who gathered to hear Him. This is the way Matthew arranges his introduction of Jesus ministry. An outsider, later invited in.

It would seem that Jesus, with His exact ideas of what is going to occur would have asked Matthew right away. Instead, Matthew is given time. Just like John the Baptist. John the Baptist tells us he did not know Jesus. He didn't grow up with his cousin. He had time to grow into understanding Jesus. In the middle of being given the idea Jesus did not march along with a perfect day planner, let's remember Jesus rowed back and forth over the Sea of Galilee sometimes several times in one day. If you were God, wouldn't you want to arrange people so you didn't have to row or sail back and forth?

It is another example of God making time for the give and take in life. Jesus has done 4 amazing miracles and, of course, everyone treats Him with respect. It makes sense. No, we are still the people God has to contend with. Still the grumblers in the desert asking for God to do more. People laughed at Jesus. Not with Him. Elijah would have called down fire. If you'll remember, the disciples asked Jesus to do this on one occasion. And Jesus, being God, said no, He had other plans.

Back to the Day Planner thought. In the middle of working with the ruler, Jesus heals. So. There is a 5th miracle and the people still don't like it. And don't trust Him.

How does Jesus feel being pressed in all the time? We see an example.

When Jesus came to the ruler's house and saw the flute players and the crowd making a commotion, he said, “Go away."

He is kind enough to give a reason. We don't know Jesus' tone. The people leave after being put out. We can assume the synagogue ruler was responsible for getting them out of the way. You can imagine the ruler wasn't too fussed about moving the laugh-ers out of the way because he'd just seen Jesus heal. Not a huge decision of politically correct thought going on there.

Jesus deliberately chose to step away from being God the Father. He was there in the spoken Word of Creation and saw things we only hope to see in Heaven. He didn't say, "Let me chase the people and not let the sun go down on my anger." He allowed time for obedience and quiet. He saw order and privately settled the matter with the people.

We hold maxims because we remember them. We readily remember, 'don't let the sun go down on your anger'. 'Turn the other cheek'. And we hold them to be the immediate Biblical answer. Yet sometimes turning the other cheek is exactly what the evil one would want. Sometimes we have to employ "Rebuke the devil and he will flee from you." Exactly like, if people are not going to reason with you, why provoke another fight by saying there is a time limit.

Jesus knew about conflict, struggling to apply the right solution to the right opportunity for a solution.

Matthew 18:15-17

15 “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother.

16 But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. 17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.


To get into the Promised Land, Joshua had to decide.

Joshua 24:14-16

 Now therefore fear the Lord and serve Him in sincerity and in faithfulness.

 Put away the gods that your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord. 15 And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites 

in whose land you dwell. 

But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

The Scriptures are written for you. A message of Love explaining the nature of God. Explaining mercy, explaining the subtitles are not from God. Asking Him, how each matter requires integrity, honesty, and expecting the best of mankind - God saw a reason to save each on of us - a Light lighting all mankind. Prayer, believing God will care when our cares are placed upon Him.

Abba, Father, 

Where is our Joy? The adventure of what You have brought us through.

 You have been steadfast. 

How many things have we overcome? Many. 

You are Strong, Lord. 

Make us strong again in Your Might. 

Let us hold up our Problems to You. 

You are our armor, strength and shield. 

The Armor of God cannot be removed. You are our fortress.

In the fortress of God, we will see the mercies of God renew. 

If we don't count the blessings - they fly by unappreciated. 

Jesus is compassionate and merciful.

 Our advocate. 

You will call us to defend our hopes with gentleness and respect 

but our defense in You is sure. 

God will call me to do what He strengthens me to do. 

We ask healing
