Luke 2:1-7 ~ Decree

One of the most spectacular aspects of God the Almighty, Creator of All, Father of Jesus Christ Triumphing over Death into Life, is the aspect of God as God. His Word is Law. Not a suggestion.

Wondering about God is filling us with Life. If God wanted to be the size of the Universe, He could be as gentle as the air filling our lungs. One of the common threads of near-death experiences is to realize, Heaven is at hand. The Walls melted and Heaven and Jesus are present. Filled with Love and Joy with incredible Peace.

Father God promises He is Steadfast. To find that the Resurrection echoes the Birth of Father God's Only Son - is a comforting and sustaining idea of God Himself. God has always worked towards eternally protecting His Children in Eternal ways.

Luke 2:1-7

In those days

a decree went out from Caesar Augustus

that all the world should be registered.

2 This was the first registration when 
Quirinius was governor of Syria.

3 And all went to be registered, each to his own town.

4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, 
5 to be registered with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child.

6 And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. 

7 And she gave birth
 to her firstborn son 
and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.

In those days 
a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered.

Isaiah 49:6.
"Yea, He saith, 'It is too light a thing for you to be My servant, to establish the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the scions of Israel, and I shall submit you as a light unto the nations, to be My salvation until the end of the earth'

John 1
Jesus is the Light of the world.

John 12:19
So the Pharisees said to one another, “You see that you are gaining nothing. Look, the world has gone after him.”


Acts 5:14
And more than ever believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women







2 This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria. 3 And all went to be registered, each to his own town.

The Light of the world

Isaiah 9:6
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders

Luke 23:27

26 As the soldiers led Him away, they seized Simon of Cyrene on his way in from the country, and put the cross on him to carry behind Jesus.

27 A great multitude of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.



Luke 24.
All of Israel knew. 

4 And Joseph 
also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, 5 to be registered with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child.



John 19

38 After these things Joseph
of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews

Asked Pilate 
that he might take away the body of Jesus, 
and Pilate gave him permission. 

Bethlehem - stables are built into the hills. Like Tombs of Israel often are.

So he came and took away his body. 

39 Nicodemus also, who earlier had come to Jesus by night, came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds in weight. 

Magi brought spices and ointments of perfume.

40 So they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews.




Palace of David - King of the Jews. David chose the view of Gardens.

41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid. 42 So because of the Jewish day of Preparation, since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.


Matthew 27
57 Now when evening had come, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus. 58 This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given to him

59 When Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, 60 and laid it in his new tomb which he had hewn out of the rock; and he rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb, and departed.

Firstborn Son

Jeremiah 31
Declares the Lord: "I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”

Abba,

When Isaac was born, Abraham saw his flocks multiply and multiply.

When Jesus ministered to His People, the multitudes arrived immediately.

When Jesus went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, Jesus was there immediately.

All times, and Plans of Yours are in Your Hands. Your Living, Working Hands.


Isaiah 9:7
Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this.

Let all the Beloved of God, lift up our Beloved with all Joy to Jesus, Son of our Living God.
Let all Nations of God, look to Him with anticipation of our Father's Willing Blessings.
Be so near, always, Your breathe is our lungs, Father God.

Let all of our cares rest in Your Love.
Let this Nation rise up as we Trust in You
For our dearly loved friend to be healed of cancer. Overcome. Healed by Jesus Christ. We ask Your Willing Blessings.

In the Name of Jesus, we will see the tender mercy of God asking for more Heaven on earth. His
Good and Gracious Will be done. Lord Jesus.

Your Amazing Love for us has no end and is always with us. Psalm 139 describes Your Circle around us. 

Amen in Jesus.

John 8:21-30 ~ always do the things that are pleasing to Him

John 8:21-30

21 So he said to them again, “I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.” 

22 So the Jews said, “Will he kill himself, since he says, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’?” 

23 He said to them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.

24 I told you that you would die in your sins, for unless you believe that I am he you will die in your sins.” 

25 So they said to him, “Who are you?” 

Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been telling you from the beginning. 26 I have much to say about you and much to judge, but he who sent me is true, and I declare to the world what I have heard from him.”

27 They did not understand that he had been speaking to them about the Father. 28 So Jesus said to them, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and that I do nothing on my own authority, but speak just as the Father taught me. 29 And he who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.” 30 As he was saying these things, many believed in him.

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

but 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."

When we look for the Historical Jesus, we find an incredible Historical trail.

The Largest Trail would be the Roman Empire persecution of Christians within 16 years of the death of Jesus. Astonishing the Historian from Judah, Josephus. Josephus is the General of Judean Army and Historian to 3 Roman Emperors. The surviving texts from the time of Jesus alive from Judah. The on and off persecution of Christians for 325 years before Constantine adopted Christianity for the Empire.

I'd say the most interesting to me, would be Bishop Papias of Hierapolis - who learned about Jesus from His Disciple John on Patmos. And had to board a ship and head to Judah to interview everyone who had met Jesus or been miraculously healed. Or an eyewitness of the miracles of Jesus.

Bishop Papias of Hierapolis had an important fan - St. Jerome who copied all the Chapters and Books of the Bible into Latin at the Pope's request in the 4th Century A.D. We learn about Bishop Papias the most from Jerome who had all of Bishop Papias papyrus with Jerome.

Bishop Papias of Hierapolis Historians B.W. Bacon, Martin Hengel and Henry Barclay Swete, maintain these references to Papias are credible. Papias also has recorded John's support for the Gospels of Mark and Matthew. Papias wrote five books interviewing the accuracy of the sayings of Jesus by speaking with witnesses. Eusebius quoted Papias from time to time.


Blessed Abba, our Father,

Dwell in us. 

Let us come to you with health concerns, ears, heart, memory, soul feeding our bodies and mind. For our friend to find strength from infection and raising appetite and hemigloban. Total healing. Wonderful man of Your's. Your willing mercy and miracles.

All situations in our lives and rest them with You in trust and care. Giving you our loved ones and their concerns. The people we pray for. And our prayers cover the planet, there is not an hour as the planet moves, someone is not praying and You are listening, acting, Loving, giving Forgiveness, Mercy and Grace.

More Heaven on earth.

Jesus is God. Amen.

Acts 16:25-40 ~ he rejoiced along with his entire household that he had believed in God

Acts 16:25-40

25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them, 26 and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone's bonds were unfastened. 27 When the jailer woke and saw that the prison doors were open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped. 

 But Paul cried with a loud voice, “Do not harm yourself, for we are all here.” 29 And the jailer called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas. 30 Then he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31 And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” 

And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house. 33 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. 34 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.

35 But when it was day, the magistrates sent the police, saying, “Let those men go.” 36 And the jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, “The magistrates have sent to let you go. Therefore come out now and go in peace.” 

 But Paul said to them, “They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men who are Roman citizens, and have thrown us into prison; and do they now throw us out secretly? No! Let them come themselves and take us out.” 

The police reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Roman citizens. 39 So they came and apologized to them. 

And they took them out and asked them to leave the city. 40 So they went out of the prison and visited Lydia. And when they had seen the brothers, they encouraged them and departed.

It was quite the season - the whole of Acts Chapter 16. Things changed daily and monthly. Cities were traveled through and the next day - the next city. New disciples arrived. The magistrates were thrilled to have a reason to beat Paul and Silas. Little did the prison jailer believe that his jail would have an earthquake and his household would become baptized believers. Little did the magistrates believe they would be apologizing and afraid.

Did the disciples gloat? They were beaten after all...
no - they visited and encouraged.

The new believers were afraid to believe - filled with trepidation?

No! The new believers were equipped and glad to have the relationship with Jesus.

Psalm 30
I will extol you, O Lord, for you have drawn me up
and have not let my foes rejoice over me.
2 O Lord my God, I cried to you for help,
and you have healed me.
3 O Lord, you have brought up my soul from Sheol;
you restored me to life from among those who go down to the pit.

4 Sing praises to the Lord, O you his saints,
and give thanks to his holy name.
5 For his anger is but for a moment,
and his favor is for a lifetime.
Weeping may tarry for the night,
but joy comes with the morning.


Psalm 28:7
The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him.

Nehemiah 8:10
Then he said to them, “Go your way. Eat the fat and drink sweet wine and send portions to anyone who has nothing ready, for this day is holy to our Lord. And do not be grieved, for the joy of the LORD is your strength


Abba, Father God! 
We look to You fill our hearts with love and let us love one another.

The Blessings of today, You've willingly provided. Thank You so very much.

Bless our friend who has cancer, to heal completely.

Renew, restore and establish us with the encouragement of Your Holy Spirit, 
we ask in the Highest Name of Jesus. Amen.

1 Samuel 25:23-42 ~ followed the messengers +

Velkommen, Dari, Velkommen, Salâm, Ajolo, Wajolo, Welkom,

 Welcome to Paran, Israel and the Negev Desert !!!

 Paran, Israel

1 Samuel 25:23-42

23 When Abigail saw David, she hurried and got down from the donkey and fell before David on her face and bowed to the ground. 24 She fell at his feet and said, “On me alone, my lord, be the guilt. Please let your servant speak in your ears, and hear the words of your servant. 25 Let not my lord regard this worthless fellow, Nabal, for as his name is, so is he. Nabal is his name, and folly is with him. But I your servant did not see the young men of my lord, whom you sent. 26 Now then, my lord, as the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, because the Lord has restrained you from bloodguilt and from saving with your own hand, now then let your enemies and those who seek to do evil to my lord be as Nabal. 27 And now let this present that your servant has brought to my lord be given to the young men who follow my lord. 

28 Please forgive the trespass of your servant. For the Lord will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord is fighting the battles of the Lord, and evil shall not be found in you so long as you live. 29 If men rise up to pursue you and to seek your life, the life of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of the living in the care of the Lord your God. And the lives of your enemies he shall sling out as from the hollow of a sling. 30 And when the Lord has done to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning you and has appointed you prince over Israel, 31 my lord shall have no cause of grief or pangs of conscience for having shed blood without cause or for my lord working salvation himself. And when the Lord has dealt well with my lord, then remember your servant.”

32 And David said to Abigail, “Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me! 33 Blessed be your discretion, and blessed be you, who have kept me this day from bloodguilt and from working salvation with my own hand! 34 For as surely as the Lord, the God of Israel, lives, who has restrained me from hurting you, unless you had hurried and come to meet me, truly by morning there had not been left to Nabal so much as one male.” 35 Then David received from her hand what she had brought him. And he said to her, “Go up in peace to your house. See, I have obeyed your voice, and I have granted your petition.”

36 And Abigail came to Nabal, and behold, he was holding a feast in his house, like the feast of a king. And Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk. So she told him nothing at all until the morning light. 37 In the morning, when the wine had gone out of Nabal, his wife told him these things, and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone. 38 And about ten days later the Lord struck Nabal, and he died.

39 When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Blessed be the Lord who has avenged the insult I received at the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his servant from wrongdoing. The Lord has returned the evil of Nabal on his own head.” 

Then David sent and spoke to Abigail, to take her as his wife. 40 When the servants of David came to Abigail at Carmel, they said to her, “David has sent us to you to take you to him as his wife.” 

1 And she rose and bowed with her face to the ground and said, “Behold, your handmaid is a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.” 42 And Abigail hurried and rose and mounted a donkey, and her five young women attended her. She followed the messengers of David and became his wife.

David has just arrived in Paran, Israel part of the Negev 'wilderness'. Where David is working out how God wants David to be King of Israel. Welcome to the Negev. David has, in the last chapter, been hunted by Saul and let Saul keep his life. And been insulted by Nabal who called David an escaped indentured servant and David's father meaningless. Nabal has discarded the fact David is a celebrated war hero.

Why? Why would David want to be King? Why would David consider himself Anointed by God when his champion, Samuel, has just died?

Apparently, David is finding to be King, you are polite to Authority even when hunting human beings - namely David. Compassionate to fools. Forgiving.

David can't be claimed to be Romantic. He is newly divorced forcibly by Saul from Saul's daughter, who has re-married. Abigail is going to leave her home where she has brought

18 Then Abigail made haste and took two hundred loaves and two skins of wine and five sheep already prepared and five seahs of parched grain and a hundred clusters of raisins and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on donkeys. 19 And she said to her young men, “Go on before me; behold, I come after you.”

Abigail gets to move with David to Ziklag to this particular hole in the earth the Bible identifies as a ditch.

Abigail is living her own Exodus with five women servants. Fortunately, God provides Abigail with a son named Daniel.

Now why does David want to be King in Israel when Israel is not yet a Land of Milk and Honey? Yes, it's good to be King, but Priests are slaughtered. There is war. And there is war on David by King Saul. Why would David want to do this?

David is faithful to the Lord.

Deuteronomy 28:1-14

1 And it shall come to pass, if you shall listen diligently to the voice of the LORD your God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command you this day, that the LORD your God will set you on high above all nations of the earth:

2 And all these blessings shall come on you, and overtake you, if you shall listen to the voice of the LORD your God.

3 Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the field.

4 Blessed shall be the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your ground, and the fruit of your cattle, the increase of your cows, and the flocks of your sheep.

5 Blessed shall be your basket and your store.

6 Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.

7 The LORD shall cause your enemies that rise up against you to be smitten before your face: they shall come out against you one way, and flee before you seven ways.

8 The LORD shall command the blessing on you in your storehouses, and in all that you set your hand to; and he shall bless you in the land which the LORD your God gives you.

9 The LORD shall establish you a holy people to himself, as he has sworn to you, if you shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and walk in his ways.

10 And all people of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of the LORD and they shall be afraid of you.

11 And the LORD shall make you plenteous in goods, in the fruit of your body, and in the fruit of your cattle, and in the fruit of your ground, in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers to give you.

12 The LORD shall open to you his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain to your land in his season, and to bless all the work of your hand: and you shall lend to many nations, and you shall not borrow.

13 And the LORD shall make you the head, and not the tail; and you shall be above only, and you shall not be beneath; if that you listen to the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day, to observe and to do them: 14 And you shall not go aside from any of the words which I command you this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

David knew of God's Mercy.

Matthew 22:37

7 Jesus declared, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment."

Why would Israel have trouble? When traveling the Middle East, deserts and poverty are plentiful. A lot of buildings are the color of the sand. A lot of very dusty sand. Living is hard. Opportunity is scarce. When reaching Israel, since the Bronze Age when the rest of the world was dying at age 20, leaving small children behind - Israel lived. Israel lives being Kosher and King David was close to 60 years old. Having seen his children grow up and grandchildren. Israel is a Nation with Family. Family helping support education, careers, learning, help in times of danger, education in life and giving Love. Israel is a community devoted to families who love the Lord.

Why would Israel have trouble? The buildings are white and pristine. Surrounded by agriculture. Israel owns more personal computers per person than the rest of the world and holds more patents (pa-tents) per person times 3.

In Israel, the desert is blooming.

Why would Abigail make haste to be David's wife?

2 Samuel 7

7 After the king was settled in his palace and the Lord had given him rest from all his enemies around him, 2 he said to Nathan the prophet, “Here I am, living in a house of cedar, while the ark of God remains in a tent.”

3 Nathan replied to the king, “Whatever you have in mind, go ahead and do it, for the Lord is with you.”

4 But that night the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying:

5 “Go and tell my servant David, ‘This is what the Lord says: Are you the one to build me a house to dwell in? 6 I have not dwelt in a house from the day I brought the Israelites up out of Egypt to this day. I have been moving from place to place with a tent as my dwelling. 7 Wherever I have moved with all the Israelites, did I ever say to any of their rulers whom I commanded to shepherd my people Israel, “Why have you not built me a house of cedar?”’

8 “Now then, tell my servant, David, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty says: I took you from the pasture, from tending the flock, and appointed you ruler over my people Israel. 9 I have been with you wherever you have gone, and I have cut off all your enemies from before you. Now I will make your name great, like the names of the greatest men on earth. 10 And I will provide a place for my people Israel and will plant them so that they can have a home of their own and no longer be disturbed. Wicked people will not oppress them anymore, as they did at the beginning 11 and have done ever since the time I appointed leaders over my people Israel. I will also give you rest from all your enemies.

“‘The Lord declares to you that the Lord himself will establish a house for you: 12 When your days are over and you rest with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, your own flesh and blood, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 He is the one who will build a house for my Name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. 14 I will be his father, and he will be my son. When he does wrong, I will punish him with a rod wielded by men, with floggings inflicted by human hands. 15 But my love will never be taken away from him, as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from before you. 16 Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me; your throne will be established forever.’”

17 Nathan reported to David all the words of this entire revelation.

18 Then King David went in and sat before the Lord, and he said:

“Who am I, Sovereign Lord, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far? 19 And as if this were not enough in your sight, Sovereign Lord, you have also spoken about the future of the house of your servant—and this decree, Sovereign Lord, is for a mere human!

20 “What more can David say to you? For you know your servant, Sovereign Lord. 21 For the sake of your word and according to your will, you have done this great thing and made it known to your servant.

22 “How great you are, Sovereign Lord! There is no one like you, and there is no God but you, as we have heard with our own ears. 23 And who is like your people Israel—the one nation on earth that God went out to redeem as a people for himself, and to make a name for himself, and to perform great and awesome wonders by driving out nations and their gods from before your people, whom you redeemed from Egypt? 24 You have established your people Israel as your very own forever, and you, Lord, have become their God.

25 “And now, Lord God, keep forever the promise you have made concerning your servant and his house. Do as you promised, 26 so that your name will be great forever. Then people will say, ‘The Lord Almighty is God over Israel!’ And the house of your servant David will be established in your sight.

27 “Lord Almighty, God of Israel, you have revealed this to your servant, saying, ‘I will build a house for you.’ So your servant has found the courage to pray this prayer to you. 28 Sovereign Lord, you are God! Your covenant is trustworthy, and you have promised these good things to your servant. 29 Now be pleased to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever in your sight; for you, Sovereign Lord, have spoken, and with your blessing, the house of your servant will be blessed forever.”

David is a Blessing Maker.  David is grateful. David remembers to Love the Lord and has Gratitude. David is a Peace Maker. David is Forgiving. David is honest. David makes Justice.

David has made the best of all of the complex and difficult aspects of Life. David expects to be Blessed, makes Blessings for others, and makes his faith a refuge.

David fully is pleased with God's ability to have more Mercy.

1 Chronicles 21

13 “I’m in a desperate situation!” David replied to Gad. “But let me fall into the hands of the Lord, for his mercy is very great."




David is going to bring Jerusalem, for the first time to his Tribe of Judah.

And then David and Solomon are going to bring Jerusalem Terraces for easy irrigation by manageable ownership. There is so much awe and wonder in the Acts of God. Nebuchadnezzar II would come into Jerusalem and, later, be famous for his hanging gardens in a totally flat topography on the earth - for famous Gardens. Floor by floor by floor.  I would imagine David's style influenced Nebuchadnezzar II. By the Power of the Holy Spirit. David followed Phonetician architecture - borrowing servants and supplies, we could believe Nebuchadnezzar II was influenced by the Jews as he provided human rights to the slaves and the puppet king he placed in Judah.

Abba,

You are our Blessings Maker. Our Blessings Bestower. Our Blessings Revealer.

You Light mankind yesterday, today and tomorrow with Your Presence. You are the Light of Your Path and our Hope and Future.

We ask You for more Heaven on earth. For ourselves and our cares. Jesus and Your Holy Spirit living and moving with those we Love. Comforting the people You give us. Raising up a Nation Trusting in You.

You bring forth Goodness interweaving all for your Purpose and for Goodness. Your Glory.

Bless our friend to be healed from cancer.

You have given us Jesus making the Blessing of asking You for more Heaven on earth. Comfort us and Guide us. Keep us Encouraged on Your Path. Protect us from what is evil. Guide us in all Goodness. Let this earth reflect Your Glory and the fullness of Your Love.

We thank You with all our heart for Your Love.
