James 2:21-24 ~ the Spirit





Nazareth

James 2:21-24


21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? 

22 You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works; 23 and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”—and he was called a friend of God. 24 You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.

26 For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.





Teachable Moments. Mary and Joseph teach through the Millenniums.

Romans 10:17
So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

1 Peter 4:10
As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace:

John 14:26
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.

John 17:17
Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.

Matthew 4:4
But he answered, “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

Titus 2:1-15
But as for you, teach what accords with sound doctrine


When we eat out, being from a lesser demonstrative denomination from birth to age 35 - we have a hard time praying at restaurants. And having children in the mid to late 20s - they certainly are not going to enjoy a mom being a mom. And yet, I really want God's blessing and His Love not to be forgotten. They are always within appreciation and enjoy when I say, quietly, "God bless us all and how I love you all." This blessing seems to resonate. Even Tiny Tim's Blessing will work with moderate enthusiasm, "God Bless us - Everyone." And in more button-down environments - a sedate "God Bless us all" - will go with appreciation. Given with upward tone and indications. Rise up. For years, we have all shied away thinking this is too forward. And really I have never once been scolded for the Blessing.

Personally - being in my 50s - I want God's blessing on the meal. I was raised with this food to our bodies. And blessing guests visiting and traveling. People enjoy being prayed over in a private environment. Heartwarming. Always the goal when speaking of God who Loves you and me.



If you love to pray Grace in the Norman Rockwell Grace painting - always remember the man standing praying with the small family. I believe the silent majority pray with us. 85% of the USA prays with faith, believing God hears them. So Beautiful.








May our Father
God of Love and Encouragement,
always know we appreciate Him
and Bless Him as we eat with those we Love
the People You have given us
and always have the Holy Spirit living in us
with Great Love, Joy and Peace

Amen Amen Amen in Jesus.

2 Timothy 1:9 ~ God saved us and called us


Mary, as a young mother, was seeing the fulfillment of God's Word to her.

Luke 2:16-20

16 And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger. 17 And when they saw it, they made known the saying that had been told them concerning this child. 18 And all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them.

19 Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart.

 20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.







Mary was doing what God had called her being, her soul, her mind and heart to do. God's Plan.

We understand Mary had pleased God all her life.


1 John 4:19

We love because he first loved us.


2 Timothy 1:9
He saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began

Daniel 1:9
Now God had granted Daniel favor and compassion from the chief official

Acts 16:14
One who heard us was a woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a seller of purple goods, who was a worshiper of God. 

The Lord opened her heart to pay attention to what was said by Paul.

Luke 24:45-47
Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures,
 and said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem."

Luke 24:32
They said to each other, 
“Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road,
 while he opened to us the Scriptures?”

Ephesians 1:18
Having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope 
to which he has called you, 
what are the riches 
of his glorious inheritance in the saints




Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Proverbs 16:9
The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.








Almighty God,

Since the 11th Century in Latin - Believers around the world have prayed the Leofric Missal:

You are our Almighty Father,
To Whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hid -

We ask Thee, our Father, to have cleansed the intent of my heart
With the heartwarming gift of Thy Grace.
That I may perfectly love Thee and worthily Praise Thee.

To the King of the Ages,
Immortal, invisible,
the only God,
be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

Day by day Oh Dear Lord
Three things I pray
To see thee more clearly
Love thee more dearly
Follow thee more nearly day by day


For this reason, I bow my knees before the Father,
From whom every family, in heaven and on earth is named,

According to the riches of Your glory,
we may be given and strengthened with power
through Your Loving and Encouraging Holy Spirit in our inner being

We ask Jesus Christ may dwell in our hearts through faith
for ourselves,
for our Loved Ones,
the people You surround us with,
the people You have given us,
The Nation,
Our employments, schools and communities,
We want to be rooted and grounded in Love.

That Jesus would have us with all Your heart and with all Your soul and with all Your strength
and with all Your mind
strength us to comprehend with all the saints
what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
knowing the love of Christ surpassing knowledge, filling us with all the fullness of You, God.




When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers—
the moon and the stars you set in place—
what are mere mortals that you should think about them,
human beings that you should care for them?


To God the Glory - to You, Who is able to do far more
abundantly more than all that we ask or think,
according to the power at work within us



God our Living Father of All Ages,
To Jesus Christ be glory in the church
and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever.
In Jesus Amen.

Luke 1:46-56 ~ my Spirit rejoices in God my Savior +†+




Luke 1:46-56



46 And Mary said,

“My soul magnifies the Lord,
47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior

48 for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant.
For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed;
49 for he who is mighty has done great things for me,
and holy is his name.


50 And his mercy is for those who fear him
from generation to generation.
51 He has shown strength with his arm;
he has scattered the proud in  the thoughts of their hearts;
52 he has brought down the mighty from their thrones
and exalted those of humble estate

53 he has filled the hungry with good things,
and the rich he has sent away empty.
54 He has helped his servant Israel,
in remembrance of his mercy,
55 as he spoke to our fathers,
to Abraham and to his offspring forever.”

56 And Mary remained with her about three months and returned to her home.



Voyage. We learn life along our voyage and if we are wise we never stop asking questions. Reading the Scriptures teaches us God's deep understanding
to the Journey.

My grandmother Anita used to tell me how she loved school and would swim the Bogue Chito River, in Louisiana, to get to school and arrive with wet hair even in the winter. Her dedication to education was great. And as I heard this story many, many, many times and my grandmother then pointed out where she swam and it had a rope swing - I pointed...


"The Bridge looks well established ... GRAND-MOTHER." And she did admit for the FIRST TIME the teacher never told her mother Anita swam to school in all weather - because Anita liked to swim. And Anita lived in the sub-tropics of Louisiana in Washington Parrish's Richardson and traveled to Franklinton to school.




 Anita and Aunt Eloise traveled 'over home' for the long used-to-be -3 day drive to buy desks/chairs (some were separate) from their school house sale. Together they bought 6 desks and were grieved for decades the glass ink pots were not available.



Enjoying the Journey is so important. Grandmother's story connected me into Mary's travels.

We know Mary left in great haste. An Eighty Mile Journey. We know God traveled with her. And we also know Mary arrived at her cousin's house with "valuable ideas and convictions."

Today - we have studied what Mary did with quiet time.

We find this about the 80-mile journey leaving her home in great haste:


Jordan River

Reminding us - those times when we have time to consider - are still in God's Time - not so incidental.

Mary has considered Gabriel's Words. God has found "Favor" with Mary.


Mary's thoughts were serious for a unwed young woman who had a fiancee bent on divorce. We have always considered Mary's Word as Holy. And this is Holy. Let's think about a young woman about to enter a very adult world and what her journey was.


Mary is discovering Great Optimism in the Favor of God.
This journey made in haste as brought Mary to Rejoice.

Mary has a Savior. Her God.

Traveling along - singing a song.
Judged and found worthy
Rejoicing
Blessed by the Might God
Great Things for Mary
Mercy
The Might of an Almighty God

Scattered the Proud - might that be Heli her father and the glorious match in jeopardy?

Joseph was fairly mighty in an ol' school Judea is the suburb of Syria and these Jews are very quick to know genealogy right into the Sadducean Council . Joseph moved easily between Israel and Egypt and decided where to relocate in a time many knew all their lives would be on the Family land and home. Maybe Mary was irked with Joseph.

Or perhaps deep thinking occurred to a young woman bent on having a very great child. The traditional thought of  Roman Occupation was something a local teenage girl would consider in hasty flight to a family member fairly good distance away.





Mary is Believing, Believing, Believing.  Things are going to turn out well for one spoken to by The Archangel of the Lord God Almighty.

But Mary is educated about the Hope of the Messiah. And the Promise of Redemption.


To see the path of Mary's thoughts continued in the Books of the Bible James and Jude is interesting. And part of our spiritual walk with her.



Consider the Power of God's Word. Optimism carried Mary to the next step and the next step and fairly soon - The Will of God was Accomplished. Taking time to consider the Word of God - changes Lives.



Mary decided God was present and a willing help. She expected all the help of God. And all of this prayer - for the millenniums -  happened in a very uncomfortable situation and time of history for Mary and for Israel.



Father God,

Let us do like Mary - ponder in our heart. See the treasure and Rejoice.

For this for ourselves in Jesus.
For our Loved Ones.
The Nation trusting in God
More Heaven on earth for our prayers
for the Nations Trusting in God.
And all of God's Beloved
to be covered and Blessed in the Name of Jesus.

We will expect our Prayers answered.

Amen!

Psalm 91:14 ~ because he loves Me





Psalm 91:14


"Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name."







God had provided something better for us, that apart from God we should not be made perfect.



And through faith, though these saints died, God still speaks.


By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him.Now before he was taken he was commended as having pleased God.

Without faith it is impossible to please God, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household. By this he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.

By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he went to live in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise. For he was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God.

By faith Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered him faithful who had promised.

Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born descendants as many as the stars of heaven and as many as the innumerable grains of sand by the seashore.


They desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one.
Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.


By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was in the act of offering up his only son, 18 of whom it was said, "Through Isaac shall your offspring be named." 19 He considered that God was able even to raise him from the dead, from which, figuratively speaking, he did receive him back.

By faith Isaac invoked future blessings on Jacob and Esau.

By faith Jacob, when dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, bowing in worship over the head of his staff.

By faith Joseph, at the end of his life, made mention of the exodus of the Israelites and gave directions concerning his bones.

By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was beautiful, and they were not afraid of the king's edict. By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, choosing rather to be mistreated with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. He considered the reproach of Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking to the reward. By faith he left Egypt, not being afraid of the anger of the king, for he endured as seeing him who is invisible. By faith he kept the Passover and sprinkled the blood, so that the Destroyer of the firstborn might not touch them.

By faith the people crossed the Red Sea as on dry land, but the Egyptians, when they attempted to do the same, were drowned.

By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled for seven days.

By faith Rahab (Matthew 1 gggrandmother of David) the prostitute did not perish with those who were disobedient, because she had given a friendly welcome to the spies.

And what more shall I say? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets

Who through faith conquered kingdoms,
enforced justice,
obtained promises,
stopped the mouths of lions,
quenched the power of fire,
escaped the edge of the sword,
were made strong out of weakness,
became mighty in war,
put foreign armies to flight.
Women received back their dead by resurrection.

Some were tortured, refusing to accept release, so that they might rise again to a better life.

Others suffered mocking and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. They were stoned, they were sawn in two,they were killed with the sword.

They went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, afflicted, mistreated-- of whom the world was not worthy--wandering about in deserts and mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. 39 And all these, though commended through their faith,
did not receive what was promised, since God had provided something better for us, that apart from us they should not be made perfect.


Psalm 91:14

"Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name."






Father God,
Let me be one of the number when the Saints go marching in.

Father God,
Let my loved ones be one of the number when the Saints go marching in.

We are traveling in the footsteps
Of those who've gone before
But we'll all be reunited (but if we stand reunited)
On a new and sunlit shore (then a new world is in store)

Oh when the saints go marching in
When the saints go marching in
Oh lord I want the people You give me
to be in that number
When the saints go marching in

On that hallelujah day
On that hallelujah day
Oh lord I want the Nation trusting in You
to be in that number
When the saints go marching in

Oh when the trumpet sounds the call
Oh when the trumpet sounds the call
Oh lord I want to see the number
When the saints go marching in

Some say this world of trouble
Is the only one we need
But I'm waiting for that morning
When the new world is revealed

When the revelation comes
When the revelation comes
Oh lord I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching in

Let us Bless the Lord Father God,
We thank You for Your Good Will
Plans of a Hope and Future,
Thank You in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

Genesis 20:1-9 ~ God said




Genesis 20:1-9


From there Abraham journeyed toward the territory of the Negeb and lived between Kadesh and Shur; and he sojourned in Gerar. 2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, “She is my sister.”

And Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah. 3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night and said to him, “Behold, you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken, for she is a man's wife.”

4 Now Abimelech had not approached her. So he said, “Lord, will you kill an innocent people? 5 Did he not himself say to me, ‘She is my sister’? And she herself said, ‘He is my brother.’ In the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands I have done this.”

6 Then God said to him in the dream, “Yes, I know that you have done this in the integrity of your heart, and it was I who kept you from sinning against me. Therefore I did not let you touch her. 7 Now then, return the man's wife, for he is a prophet, so that he will pray for you, and you shall live. But if you do not return her, know that you shall surely die, you and all who are yours.”

8 So Abimelech rose early in the morning and called all his servants and told them all these things. And the men were very much afraid. 9 Then Abimelech called Abraham


Our Father God is:

Ephesians 1:21
Far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.



Abraham is chosen for his mercy asking God for lives. And yet he has fear and poor choices. And God calls Abraham His own.

 God is in charge of resolution and has all Authority. We can always hope for Peace. God used this of God's Amazing and Vast Abilities to help Mary as well. We can put all trust in the Lord God Almighty.



Abba,

With Jesus we pray.

To overcome worries, difficulties, health concerns. To be equipped to do Your Good will.

In Jesus for ourselves,
In Jesus for the ones we Love,
In Jesus for the people He gives us.

In Jesus for solutions
and in Jesus for we place our trust.

For the Nation, all believers and the Nations trusting in Father God.

We praise You, Father God, for Your Blessings. Your Wonders. Your His Story.

In Jesus. Amen.

Mark 12:18-27 ~ He is God of the living

1 Kings 9


Mark 12:18-27



18 And Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection. And they asked him a question, saying, 19 “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife, but leaves no child, the man must take the widow and raise up offspring for his brother. 20 There were seven brothers; the first took a wife, and when he died left no offspring. 21 And the second took her, and died, leaving no offspring. And the third likewise. 22 And the seven left no offspring. Last of all the woman also died. 23 In the resurrection, when they rise again, whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as wife.”


24 Jesus said to them, “Is this not the reason you are wrong, because you know neither

the Scriptures and the power of God? 

25 For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. 26 And as for the dead being raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?

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



For so many reasons, David was quite wrong. And for so many reasons David made the right choices  - making a reason to see David for his faith.

Boundaries. David made amazing boundaries because he stayed in the boundaries God had given him.





David knew he was anointed and spent 22 years feeling all of the Psalms. Defeat, agony, victory, defeat, victory, defeat, Victory, sin, defeat, defeat, Victory.

And then David after several apparent failures even after Saul died - took Saul's Kingdom - the first map - and in obedience to God made - the second map.

Saul had boundaries. And he refused to believe the Scriptures and the Power of God. He refused to be grateful for today and to let God have tomorrow.

Gratitude is very important.

David had gratitude. And obedience.  To become the actual family of Jesus as Father God would want His Only Son - to be descended of David.


Matthew 12
50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.



David believed God was as good as His Word. And in being obedient to God. God's Will is done - believing in God our Father.

All of the Blessings of God involve - Trusting God so much we will find gratitude and willingness to believe that the Will of God - is Good - Today.


And in seeking to find the good in today - we will have - Joy, Hope, Faith, Love. And Love is the Greatest of All. Creating endurance, character, hope. Lack of Disappointment. Gentleness, Loving oneself as others.

And in believing God will create a framework For His Will. We will find like Israel - the ups and downs of generations.


Psalm 100

5 For the Lord is good;
his steadfast love endures forever,
and his faithfulness to all generations. 







Father God,

We prayer the prayer of David. Asking Jesus to pray with us.

“Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far?

And yet this was a small thing in your eyes, O Lord God. You have spoken also of your servant’s house for a great while to come, and this is instruction for mankind, O Lord God!

You know your children, O Lord Father God! Because of Your promises, and according to Your own heart, You have brought about all this greatness for Your Glory.


And we delight, Your Name will be magnified forever, saying, ‘The Lord of hosts is God over Israel,’ and the house of Jesus will be established before You.

For you, O Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, have made Your revelation to your children, saying, ‘I will build you a house.’ Therefore your servant has found courage to pray this prayer to you. "

And now, O Lord God, You are God, and Your Words are true, and You have promised this good thing to your servant.

Now therefore may it please you to bless the house of your servant, so that it may continue forever before you. For you, O Lord God, have spoken, and with your blessing shall the house of your servant be blessed forever.

But to all who did receive Him, who believed in His Name, Jesus. He gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

In Expectation of His Word to our generations, we say, Thank You Father God. In Jesus, Amen.

Mark 2 ~ at Home





Mark 2









1 And when he returned to Capernaum after some days, it was reported that he was at home.






 2 And many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even at the door. '



And he was preaching the word to them. 


 3 And they came, bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men. 4 And when they could not get near him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him, and when they had made an opening, they let down the bed on which the paralytic lay. 

5 And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven." 

6 Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts, 7 "Why does this man speak like that? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?" 



8 And immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they thus questioned within themselves, said to them, "Why do you question these things in your hearts? 9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Rise, take up your bed and walk'? 10 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins"--he said to the paralytic-- 11 "I say to you, rise, pick up your bed, and go home." 

12 And he rose and immediately picked up his bed and went out before them all, 



so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, "We never saw anything like this!"
















13 He went out again beside the sea, and all the crowd was coming to him, and he was teaching them.









14 And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, "Follow me." And he rose and followed him. 



15 And as he reclined at table in his house, many tax collectors and sinners were reclining with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many who followed him. 

16 And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, "Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?"

17 And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, 
but those who are sick. 
I came not to call the righteous, 
but sinners."




18 Now John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. And people came and said to him, "Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?"



19 And Jesus said to them, "Can the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. 20 The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day. 

21 No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. If he does, the patch tears away from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear is made. 22 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the wine will burst the skins--and the wine is destroyed, and so are the skins. But new wine is for fresh wineskins."



23 One Sabbath he was going through the grainfields, and as they made their way, his disciples began to pluck heads of grain. 

24 And the Pharisees were saying to him, "Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?" 


25 And he said to them, "Have you never read what David did, when he was in need and was hungry, he and those who were with him: 26 how he entered the house of God, in the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those who were with him?" 

27 And he said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. 28 So the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath."









What were the people witnessing in Jesus the day in Capernaum?

Exodus 34

5 And the LORD descended in a cloud, stood with him there, and proclaimed His name, the LORD. 
6 Then the LORD passed in front of Moses and called out:
 “The LORD, the LORD God, 
is compassionate and gracious, 
slow to anger, 
abounding in loving devotion and truth, 
maintaining loving devotion to a thousand generations, 
forgiving iniquity, 
transgression, and sin.
 Yet He will by no means excuse the guilty

Romans 5:9
Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, 
much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.

1 Thessalonians 1:10
Jesus, delivered us from the wrath to come.







Abba, our Father


What does the Bible say about Rejoicing? We want to know!!!

Philippians 4:4
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice.

Acts 16:33-34
And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their wounds; and he was baptized at once, he and all his family. Then he brought them up into his house and set food before them. And he rejoiced along with his entire household that he had believed in God.

John 16:24
Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.



Abba, the Bible is Living and Active. With new and fresh hope and expectation:

We ask for our Prayer Requests - for me to have my back muscles not clenching up.
We pray for Jackson to have his worn knees and old bones to have all the benefits of our Living God. A breath of spring.

For those we Love to always trust You, our Loving Father - for their care and eternity with You. To be full of our Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit each day of this journey.

For the people You give us - The Holy Spirit increasing always.

For our Nation. Blessed in the Nation - Trusting in God. He is the God of all things. All things are possible in Him.

Trusting Jesus with all our prayer requests, for the nations trusting in Him and all the beloved around the world increasing in God as their strength for More of The Light of Jesus Christ the Lord.

Amen and Amen.

God tends to link the passages together with fascinates - this blogger, Anne-Laurel Gardere

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. <><
