Philippians 2 ~ risking his life to complete what was lacking

 



Philippians 2




So if there is any encouragement in Christ,
any comfort from love,
any participation in the Spirit,
any affection and sympathy,

Complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. 3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.

4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

Therefore God has highly exalted Him 
And bestowed on Him the Name that is above every name,
 so that at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow, in Heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.




12 Therefore, my beloved,
as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, 13 for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work 
for His Good Pleasure.

14 Do all things without grumbling or disputing, 15 that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation,

Among whom you shine as Lights in the world, 16 holding fast to the Word of Life,

So that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain. 17 Even if I am to be poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrificial offering of your faith,
I am glad and rejoice with you all.
18 Likewise you also should be glad and rejoice with me.


19 I hope in the Lord Jesus 
to send 
Timothy to you soon,
so that I too may be cheered by news of you.
20 For I have no one like him, 
who will be genuinely concerned
 for your welfare.

21 For they all seek their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ. 

But you know Timothy's proven worth
How as a son with a father he has served with me in the Gospel. 
23 I hope therefore to send him just as soon as I see how it will go with me, 
and I trust in the Lord
that shortly I myself will come also.

25 I have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, and your messenger and minister to my need, 26 for he has been longing for you all and has been distressed because you heard that he was ill.

27 Indeed he was ill, near to death. But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow. 28 I am the more eager to send him, therefore, that you may rejoice at seeing him again, and that I may be less anxious.

29 So receive him in the Lord with all joy, and honor such men

For he nearly died for the work of Christ, risking his life to complete what was lacking in your service to me.


















How much did Charlie Kirk do in his lifetime?

As the UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer gave a Press Conference for President Donald Trump with key media, the 2nd question was, now the USA has Christian Leadership, does the USA view the UK as a Christian nation?

Starmer replied that he, himself, had been christened. 

Yes, the USA Christians view the UK as a Christian Nation. In June, Edward and I were on a cruise, half of the ship was UK vacationing citizens. They struggle with London opinions being given as national opinions and would like the smaller cities to be seen to have a larger voice. 

And the next question to the President of the United States was condolences to the President for the death of Charlie Kirk.  And then Donald Trump began to explain he thought Charlie Kirk would be President of the United States one day. 



How much did Charlie Kirk do in his lifetime?

He began to have the younger generation understand that many people consider God first in their lives. The Love of God opens us to the path of abundant Life. 


The world's culture is changing.

God is being considered, in UK PM to USA Presidential Press Conferences,
FIRST.


Then the UK wanted to know what President Donald Trump would do to stop massive immigration. The military could be called, was President Trump's answer. Like Biden and Harris, UK PM Starmer pretends he does not have a solution to mass immigration during the worst housing crisis in the UK since the 1860s. 






How much did Charlie Kirk do in his lifetime?

USA Youth deeply considers God in their ideas of life planning. Examining the world around them in Christian ideals. A conversation about God is very relevant.

The world is now asking the President about being a Christian Nation. And about Charlie Kirk.


Haggai 2:7

"And I will shake all nations, 
and 
the desire of all nations shall come: 
and 
I will fill this house with Glory, 
saith the Lord of Hosts."

















Abba, Father,


Who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you 
with love and compassion



With Your Help, 
believing Jesus walks on water.


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. 


HEAL OUR NATION


For Children in their Schools, all safety.

For those who protect and defend the USA,
protect us from evil.
Let evil and practicing evil
depart far from us
and our children.
Thank You, Father,
for Your Good Will.
And hearing our prayers.



Keep our food supply safe.
Support the Police.
For Worldwide Peace.
And the Peace of Israel. 

Those who protect
and defend
All The Word of God.
Freedom in our Churches.



Wholeness
Holy.
Goodness.

And the Nations of the world,
Your Good Creation,
Calling upon You.


Lord Jesus Christ,

Worldwide Peace
Prosperity and
Peace.

We pray that as a Nation,
as a Community,
as a Church,
as a Neighborhood,
we share what You would have us share.

And in this communal sharing,
Your Good Creation would see
better weather.
Rain shared instead of flood.
Removing drought.

Warmth shared
instead of unusual cold
storms.

We ask in the Name of Jesus Christ.

And in Jesus - this Hope, 
Faith and Love - we will rise up believing Jesus. 
Amen.

Philippians 2:1-11 ~ The Name that is above every Name







Dr. Alveda King, niece of Martin Luther King,
speaks about Charlie Kirk

Powerfully

Philippians 2:1-11




2 So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, 2 complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. 

3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. 

5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6 Who, though He was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied Himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 

9 Therefore God has highly exalted Him 
and 
bestowed on Him the Name 
that is 
above every Name, 
so that at the
 Name of Jesus every knee should bow, in Heaven and on earth 
and under the earth, 

and 
every tongue confess 
that 
Jesus Christ is Lord, 
to the glory of God 
the Father.



Brad Lea showed up on my social media today. He was explaining about his 2-year-old daughter drowning in their swimming pool.  The ring camera caught the drowning, she was underwater for 2 minutes and 38 seconds and had gone to the bottom of the pool and turned blue.  His wife jumped in, rescued and called for ambulances.  She began resuscitating her daughter, who instead took a breath and began to cry.  After the hospital, their daughter began for 2 weeks to talk over and over and over again about her new friend. Jeshua.  Yeshua.  Jesus. 

His daughter, for 2 weeks beyond, has done a completely remarkable job of explaining, extremely consistently, she met Yeshua. HE is her friend. She met HIM.


This is where Charlie Kirk is. 

Edward and I have been close. So close. Our daughter, died during childbirth, after Hurricane Ike. Barometric Pressures and babies.  And as she was born, she had won everything. The look on her face said ALL.  Our daughter had met Yeshua. Everything was according to His Plan. Our baby girl did not speak, she was asleep with the Lord, however her face was proclaiming. Testifying. Comfort. Help. Comforter.  Shining with Joy.

This is where Charlie Kirk is. 

The one we speak of so much in Bible Studies is Moses. And with constant faith and obedience, Joshua won the heart of Our Father.  Yehoshua (יְהוֹשֻׁעַ). And the Lord said He would Name His Son after Yehoshua. Yeshua.  Jesus. The Name Above All Names.


This is where Charlie Kirk is!

Jude 1:3 

Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation,
 I found it necessary to write 
appealing to you to contend for the faith 
that was once for 
all 
delivered 
to the saints.


Matthew 12:18

“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.


1 John 3:1-2

See what kind of love the Father has given to us, 
that we should be called children of God; 
and so we are. 

The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know Him. Beloved, we are God's children now, 
and 
what we will be has not yet appeared; 
but we know that when He appears 
we shall be like Him, 
because we shall see Him 
as He is.






Matthew 17:5
 
He was still speaking when, 
behold, 
a bright cloud overshadowed them, 
and a voice from the cloud said, 

“This is my beloved Son, with Whom I am well pleased; 
listen to Him.”



1 John 4:7

Beloved,
 let us love one another, 
for love is from God, 
and whoever loves 
has been born of God 
and 
knows God.



Daniel 10:11

And he said to me, 
“O Daniel, man greatly loved, 
understand the words that I speak to you, 
and stand upright, 
for now I have been sent to you.” 

And when he had spoken this Word to me, I stood up trembling.


Isaiah 41:10 

Fear not, for I am with you; 
be not dismayed, for I am your God; 
I will 
strengthen you, 
I will 
help you, 
I will 
uphold you 
with my righteous right hand.




Psalm 34:4

I sought the Lord, and 
He answered me 
and 
delivered me
 from all my fears.



Psalm 27:1

Of David. 

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? 
The Lord is the stronghold of my life; 
of whom shall I be afraid?


1 Corinthians 15:58
 
Therefore, my beloved brothers, 
be steadfast,
 immovable, 
always abounding in the work of the Lord, 
knowing that in the Lord 
your labor 
is not in vain.




Abba, Father,



Forget not all His benefits -

Who forgives all your sins
and 
heals all your diseases,

Who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you 
with love and compassion

Father, You are working
and so is Your Son, Jesus Christ.
The Power of the Holy Spirit.

Remember not
the sins of our youth.
And the mercy of the merciful
Explains to the youth. Gently and tenderly.

Turn again
to the Lord.

With Your Help
We will act justly
 and to love mercy
 and to walk humbly with You, our God.


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. 



Lord Jesus Christ,

Bless those working for
Post Pandemic Healing
and Care.


The Healing 
The Lord had done in our prayer lives.
He Gives Blessings.


Thanks to the Lord.
We ask Jesus to speak the Word of Healing
Lord Jesus.

The safety of those

to heal.

depart far from us

1 Corinthians 8:6 ~ for us

 



1 Corinthians 8:6




Yet for us there is 
one God, 
the Father, 
from Whom are all things 
and 
for Whom we exist, 
and 
one Lord, Jesus Christ, 
through 
Whom are all things
 and 
through 
Whom we exist.




Romans 3:22-24

22 And this righteousness from God 
comes through faith in Jesus Christ
 to all who believe. 

There is no distinction, 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and 
are justified freely by His grace 
through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.

















John 15:7-11



If you abide in Me, and My Words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be My disciples. 9 As the Father has Loved me, so have I Loved you. Abide in My Love. 

10 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in His Love. 11 These things I have spoken to you, that My Joy may be in you, and that your Joy may be full.



How can the Lord tell us we exist for Him? 

Regardless of the high or low stations in life, we will at times become tired of our blessings and wonder the real meaning of life.  And in those days, we want to know we have created a path others would want themselves. A path of love, joy, meaningful life God calls abundant life. 

If we work for the Lord in our inner conversations, if we want to do well to please the Lord, we have never worked in vain. Our lives are rich and meaningful. And in this Joy of the Lord, we are established within our souls to our lives.  And in doing this, our minor blessings, our great blessings become Major and Fulfilling Blessings. 





Ephesians 5:8 

For at one time you were darkness, 
but now
 you are Light in the Lord.

Walk as Children of Light.




Daniel 12:3 

 And those who are wise 
shall 
SHINE
 like 
the brightness of the sky above;
 and 
those 
who turn many to righteousness, 
like the stars 
forever 
and 
ever. 





 Matthew 5:16 

 In the same way, let your light shine before others,
 so that they may see your good works
 and 
give glory to your Father 
Who is in Heaven.





John 1

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

He was in the beginning with God. 
All things were made through Him, 
and 
without Him was not any thing made that was made. 

In Him was life, 
and 
the life was the Light of men. 

5 The light shines in the darkness, 
and the darkness has not overcome it. 

9 The true light, 
which gives light to everyone, 
was coming into the world.



Abba, Father,

We ask Jesus Christ may dwell in your hearts 
through 
faith

We ask to be being rooted and grounded in love
and have strength to comprehend with all 
what is the breadth and length and height and depth
of Your Love.

To know 
the love of Christ 
surpassing all the books ever written 
fully know
We are filled with all the fullness of God

Your Promises,
Father,
Are Sure

Dwell in us, please, Father.
Dwell in those we Love.
Help us to seek You first.
In Jesus Christ, we will finish well.

To be
more Heaven today
to see more Heaven today
Thy Kingdom come
Thy will be done
on earth
as it is
in Heaven.

In Jesus Christ
is
Our 
Love, Joy and Hope.

We pray victory
for the officials
who want
prosperity
and Jesus
for
ALL.

ALLELUIA
AND
AMEN IN JESUS CHRIST










In Jesus Christ,
we live and move and
have our being.

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. <><
