Matthew 22:34-40 ~ Depend

Matthew 22:34-40 

When the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. 

35 And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 

37 And He said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend on all the Law and the Prophets.”

When we think of Jesus fighting the Good Fight every day of His Ministry, we can picture in our minds, Jesus is busy doing the Work Father God brings Him.

Jesus was tested almost every day. 

Jesus taught us we can do all things with God, the exact nature of God. Our Jesus Christ moved forward Loving others as Himself. The Joy of the Lord is the Strength of Jesus.

He wasn't all works. 

Jesus was Heart, He loved the Children of God and wants to save the entire world.

We absolutely know Jesus shows compassion and wept. 

However, Jesus was never knocked down by the perpetual criticism. Jesus is never recorded in the human reaction of searching His Mind to make sure He was where He should be. Jesus moved forward in Love and Mercy. Healing All as God says He wants to do.

Jesus fully believed He was God's Son. And in the footsteps of Jesus, He anticipates we love ourselves

Because He Loves us as His Own.

We can draw strength from God. He says continue in Mutual Affection. This leads to Love.

This medieval ring was chosen to be plain on the outside. 

And hold deeply in us, all that Jesus is within us. 

Hebrews 11:6 

And without faith it is impossible to please Him, 

for whoever would draw near to God 

must believe 

that He exists and 

That He rewards those who seek him.

Romans 8:11

 If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, 

He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies

 Through His Spirit who dwells in you.

Abba, Holy God our Father,

We have had overwhelming new items to think upon. It's almost in the Science Fiction area.

In Pandemic, we have seen families change shape - our most trusted patterns where we rely on each other and are fueled in "Love Ourselves". And some families have suffered deep losses.

Employment creates a framework for our lives, we have faced overwhelming news.

Grocery shopping and errands became much more complex with changing news 

On the avalanche of medical information.

Governors and Governments have given us comforts and consternation.  A trusted function, often unseen was brought to even our privately made decisions every day. Friction resulted.  Parts of this concrete portion of life in our States, as we all cared for all States collectively.  Puzzling and profound shock and disappointments touching on the basic belief 

We have felt such comfort all our lives in the basic need for safety.

Never did we believe our right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness would be infringed.

Never did we believe that the USA as a whole would not quarantine and peacefully assemble.

We have seen the Media ridiculed time and again in actual Peaceful Protests for the willingness to only preach agenda. We have seen news stations burned to the ground and found disbelief. Add Police Departments to this.

We had never considered isolation and boredom to make conversations run to bare minimums not to shock and overwhelm each other. People who have never felt a day of loneliness in their lives have been witnessed to weep.

Our trusted Police Departments showed flaws in upmost time we needed their discretion.

And then we expected loyalty from each other to the history of our safety to the Police.

Our horror in Police assassinations and the recovery of the suspects. 

The disgust on attacks on innocent civilians by unruly mobs.

We've seen Presidents ridiculed for more than a decade during the Clinton Administration

For the less that sacrosanct treatment of the White House, the People's House. And found 66 Secret Service Agents were harmed. The People's Property was roped and harmed. We saw wanton disregard for our collective Heritage and the misinformation of the peaceful right to assemble. Those elected to hold Domestic Tranquility hoped the agitators wouldn't be harmed pulling down public property. One of the two Parties didn't even mention the violence in their Conventions for any mention.

We were all shocked to find the Highest Government in the Congress was empty, or silent, disinformation, and without timely and helpful commentary which became argumentative, misinformation criticism.

As a Nation, we have assembled meals, wanted Schools reopened and pulled together for the safety

And all concerns for our Nation's children during this unprecedented time. 

Thanking You the Virus does not target the very young.

And then finding we faced an incredible number of Hurricanes

 Threatening the Southern and Eastern States. Adding to this the horrific sight of Orange Skies and Millions of Acres on Fire in the Northwestern States as anarchy was shockingly displayed to bystanders who were innocent. And a massive number of Californians on the beach asking You for Your Mercy. As their entire state continued to be closed.

We could throw in brown outs for electricity, asteroids and UFOs. Father, we would sincerely thank You we see no reports on Killer Hornet.

Father, You are Working.

We function in Straight Paths. And in watching You Fight the Good Fight, we find our Comfort, Help and Strength. To live in affection and Love brings us faith, hope and Love.

You are The Good Father asking us

to Love ourselves. To have a Spirit of Power.

To Love others.

Comforted and Strengthened we will find Solutions

And Greater Joys.

Abundant Love flowing down. Soaking us all

His Living Water flows.

Opening our doors with expectation of Your Continued Goodness

in ourselves, in the ones we Love,

Jesus Christ in the people You bring us.

We pray for the safety of

our Schools to be a safe, good,

warm place for the Children

Children need their Schools.

We uphold them with our Love and Prayers.

We ask Your Mighty Word

to for all the re-openings

Finding Your Blessing and Word of Love.

Psalm 121 ~ My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

Psalm 121

My Help Comes from the Lord ~ A Song of Ascents.

1 I lift up my eyes to the hills.

From where does my help come?

2 My help comes from the Lord,

who made heaven and earth.

3 He will not let your foot be moved;

he who keeps you will not slumber.

4 Behold, he who keeps Israel

will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The Lord is your keeper;

the Lord is your shade on your right hand.

6 The sun shall not strike you by day,

nor the moon by night.

7 The Lord will keep you from all evil;

he will keep your life.

8 The Lord will keep

your going out and your coming in

from this time forth and forevermore.

We seem to be in angry upset accusation news time again. All sides accuse one another of being liars. Shrieking distrust and lies.

The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof.

Psalm 24: 1 

The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; 

the world, and they that dwell therein. 

When God spoke to us and told us His Earth was Good. Genesis 1 and 2 explains God spoke the Word, "Good", 11 times.  And God was so concerned about goodness, God continued His Discussion of Goodness.

When God speaks, this is important. God speaks of yesterday, today and tomorrow. We are told we can find Heaven on earth. God encourages us to put our eyes on what is Good. John spoke of His Life and John's life when John announced God is the Light of mankind. We are, this year, very much seeing and understanding Covid stresses and the actual BBC photographs of what the Covid stressed brain looks like. We know Covid impacts the brain's ability to smell and hear. 

Chill out.

This is a good time to be merciful, even to the news screaming Lies and Distrust. We prove again, our source of Hope is God. And we take up the Book of Proverbs and find wisdom. 

We can find Peace.

Oxford University. The University of Oxford has no known foundation date. Teaching at Oxford existed as early as 1096, but the start date is unclear. Oxford University is 200 years older than the Aztecs, 300 years older than Machu Picchu, and 150 years older than Easter Island heads. And if our source is God Himself, we will not fear. We may have times we have concern, we just won't live in fear. We will use what God has provided to find a Spirit of Power. 

Romans 12:2

Do not be conformed to this world, 

but be transformed by the renewal of your mind,

 that by testing

you may discern what is the will of God, 

what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Would we truly be fearful of a Covid-19 Vaccine? 

Do we really believe this team of medical researchers would provide harm?

The widely available vaccine date is, most probably, in April. Do we really need a fearmongering campaign around public health? I would reject declaration of lies and prompt our own fact finding.

And find peace.

1 Peter 3:11

Turn from evil and do good.

Seek Peace and 

Pursue it.

If you are facing being fear mongered - don't listen. Just turn it off.

1 Peter 2:15

This is the will of God, that by doing good 

you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people.

Abba, Father God,

Dwell in us.

Dwell in those we Love.

Dwell in the 80% of American's who pray daily,

Dwell in the 92% of Americans who believe Jesus is Lord.

Dwell in the Believers of Today

and Dwell in the Believers of Tomorrow.

Rejoice in how many believe God is Hearing them

with Love and Joy

in their Prayers.

Comfort ALL of Your Good Creation.

Dwell in us All as the Light of mankind.

Strengthen us each day to have more to report of the news of our own lives,

in this time of recovery.

Strengthen what is Needing You, we have seen as Strong

and would Strengthen again.

Encourage what is Good.

Temper down what is not Excellent.

Encourage us to find and utilize the tools You have provided daily

within us

and in this Good Creation.

In the Love of Jesus Christ,

 we 

want to be

and find

our Souls have Your Joy.

Help us Seek You First.

2 Peter 1

And to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance;

and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, 

brotherly kindness;

and to brotherly kindness;

Love.

For if you possess these qualities and continue to grow in them,

they will keep you from being ineffective

and unproductive

in your knowledge

of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Luke 20:27-40 ~ considered worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead

Luke 20:27-40 

There came to him some Sadducees, those who deny that there is a resurrection, 

28 and they asked him a question, saying, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies, having a wife but no children, the man must take the widow and raise up offspring for his brother. 29 Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died without children. 30 And the second 31 and the third took her, and likewise all seven left no children and died. 32 Afterward the woman also died. 33 In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For the seven had her as wife.” 

 34 And Jesus said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage, 

35 but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage, 36 for they cannot die anymore, because they are equal to angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. 

37 But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the passage about the bush, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. 

38 Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him.” 

39 Then some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you have spoken well.”  40 For they no longer dared to ask him any question.

Apparently, groups of people have bunched up and given verbal harassment for millenniums.

But we knew this even in the Old Testament. You'd think the Blessing and Anointing of God would magically make this deliciously easy. However, better than being easy, Jesus gives us ideas and reasons and Help.

Why do people harass each other? 

John 3 19

And this is the verdict: The Light has come into the world, but mankind loved the darkness rather than the Light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come into the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.

Immaturity, boredom, hiding pain, greed, envy, lack of diligent intelligence, fear, from loss, or power, material gain, hopelessness, hiding themselves - will become worse, pathetic humor, enjoying conflict, chaos or lying.  However, God's Word is more to the point. God can be profoundly succinct.

We could take time to discern the problem, or we could simply call it darkness and be aware. In fact, Psychiatry Today states a new method for helping people is teaching the patient to stop. Stop being on a dog path that isn't solvable today. Find a new dog path - towards workable solutions. 

Examples would be considered to be solution finding.

Let's start with the Heavenly Host. Reports from the Transfiguration meeting. Moses was there, after all.

Deuteronomy 34:5,6

So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, as the LORD had said. 6 And He buried him in a valley in the land of Moab facing Beth-peor, and no one to this day knows the location of his grave. 

 We don't find out about this amazing harassment until after the Transfiguration: 

Jude 1: 8 

Yet in the same way these dreamers defile their bodies, reject authority, and slander glorious beings. 9 But even the archangel Michael, when he disputed with the devil over the body of Moses, did not presume to bring a slanderous charge against him, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!” 

 10  These men, however, slander what they do not understand, and like irrational animals, they will be destroyed by the things they do instinctively. 

11 Woe to them! They have traveled the path of Cain; they have rushed headlong into the error of Balaam; they have perished in Korah’s rebellion.  

Does Jesus agree? 

Yes. Scripture supports Scripture. 

Matthew 13 

24 Here is another story Jesus told: “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a farmer who planted good seed in his field. 25 But that night as the workers slept, his enemy came and planted weeds among the wheat, then slipped away. 26 When the crop began to grow and produce grain, the weeds also grew. 

 27 “The farmer’s workers went to him and said, ‘Sir, the field where you planted that good seed is full of weeds! Where did they come from?’ 

 28 “‘An enemy has done this!’ the farmer exclaimed. “

‘Should we pull out the weeds?’ they asked. 

 29 “‘No,’ he replied, ‘you’ll uproot the wheat if you do. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest. Then I will tell the harvesters to sort out the weeds, tie them into bundles, and burn them, and to put the wheat in the barn.’” 

 Why Bad Things Happen to Good People. Jesus is talking to us.

Jesus tells us there is Trouble in this world. And we are to Fight the Good Fight. He gives examples when dealing with some amazingly scary topics. 

• Michael is Polite
• Michael understands the depth of the Darkness
• St. Michael is not ridiculous enough to stay in Polite Mode. Archangel Michael is staying in the Truth and is going to use the Truth.
• Michael of God's Heavenly Calling is calling on God for Help.
• Michael is going to get out of the vicinity.  The Bible tells us to turn the other cheek. Michael did not give the Darkness time to enjoy the conflict or to escalate. Michael is going to move on. 

• Jude mentions Korah.
• Numbers 16 Korah rebelled against Moses along with 249 co-conspirators and were punished for their rebellion when God sent fire from heaven to consume all 250 of them. ... God then smote 14,700 men with plague, as punishment for objecting to Korah's destruction.
• God specifically warns us not to get involved in trouble we should stay away from. Exactly as Michael did.

• Balaam knew he was gifted and wanted to profit. God gave Balaam room to understand. Just as Jesus gave His Brothers time and patience. Balaam realized he should not enter into judgement and curse the Work of God. Later, another story of the Old Testament is carried into The New Testament, Balaam tried to provide temptations to lure the Good People of God into trouble. The stories compliment each other - about hidden directions. Just as Jude explains.

 

Micah 6 8

He has shown you, O man, what is good. 

And what does the LORD require of you but 

o act justly, 

to love mercy, 

and to walk humbly with your God

Proverbs 21:3 

To do righteousness and justice is more desirable to the LORD than sacrifice.

 Deuteronomy 30:15 

See, I have set before you today life and prosperity, as well as death and disaster.

 Isaiah 56:1 

This is what the LORD says: "Maintain justice and do what is right, 

for My salvation is coming soon, 

and My righteousness will be revealed.

 Isaiah 57:15 

For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: 

"I dwell in a high and holy place, and with the oppressed and humble of spirit, 

to restore the spirit of the lowly and revive the heart of the contrite. 

 Hosea 12:6 

But you must return to your God, maintaining love and justice, 

and always waiting on your God. 

 Amos 5:24 

But let justice roll on like a river, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.

2 Peter 1 5

For this very reason, 

make every effort to add to your faith goodness; 

and to goodness, knowledge; 

6 and to knowledge, self-control; 

and to self-control, perseverance; 

and to perseverance, godliness; 

7and to godliness, mutual affection; 

and to mutual affection, 

Love. 

For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, 

they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge 

of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

Abba,

Dwell in us, Love us,

Help us to seek You and see Heaven First.

In Jesus, our Wonderful Jesus,

We won't be forgetting we have been cleansed from past sins. Therefore, my brothers and sisters, we make every effort to confirm our calling and election. And doing these things, we will never stumble.

Father God, You hear our prayers as the woman of Tyre and Sidon at Your Feet. 

The many times Mary is recorded in Your Word at Your Feet.

Our Prayers are Received in Your Heart.

 Because of Jesus Christ, we will receive a rich welcome into the eternal 

Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

The Power and the Glory.

Brings a tear of joy to my eyes

and

everything is gonna to be alright

And everything will bring a chain of love 

Abundant Love flowing down. Soaking us all
