1 Kings 19:12 ~ Gentle whisper






1 Kings 19:12


After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. 
And after the fire came a gentle whisper.

What would Jesus say:  I Love you.




Exodus 33:19
And the LORD said, "I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the LORD, in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.




Exodus 34:6,7
And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, "The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin.






What should we reply:

Psalm 16:2
I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing."


Psalm 104:31
May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may the LORD rejoice in his works -




Because -

Psalm 145:9
The LORD is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made.





Zephaniah 3:17
The LORD your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.





Luke 13:34H
How often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings





Jeremiah 17:7
Blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him.




Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary Ships brings home Americans to Time Square
when the war was won 1945



Matthew 9:36
He had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.




1 John 3:1
See what kind of love the Father has given to us,
 that we should be called children of God; 


and so we are.


May God have our prayers Joyfully
Please Bless our Nation
and the earth, God's Good Creation.

Thank You,
You have seen us through many times and seasons
with Your Help and Comfort.

All who have had illness and suffered
to be in wellness and Hope.
Elliott as well.

Cover us in the Name of Jesus, 
Amen.

John 9:1-23 ~ I am the Light of the world

 


 

John 9:1-23



9 As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 And his disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” 3 Jesus answered, “It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him. 4 We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work. 5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” 

6 Having said these things, he spit on the ground and made mud with the saliva. Then he anointed the man's eyes with the mud 7 and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means Sent). So he went and washed and came back seeing.

8 The neighbors and those who had seen him before as a beggar were saying, “Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?” 9 Some said, “It is he.” Others said, “No, but he is like him.” He kept saying, “I am the man.” 10 So they said to him, “Then how were your eyes opened?” 

11 He answered, “The man called Jesus made mud and anointed my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash.’ So I went and washed and received my sight.” 

12 They said to him, “Where is he?” He said, “I do not know.”

13 They brought to the Pharisees the man who had formerly been blind. 14 Now it was a Sabbath day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes. 15 So the Pharisees again asked him how he had received his sight. And he said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.” 16 Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.” But others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” 

And there was a division among them. 17 So they said again to the blind man, “What do you say about him, since he has opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.”

18 The Jews did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of the man who had received his sight 19 and asked them, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?” 20 His parents answered, “We know that this is our son and that he was born blind. 21 But how he now sees we do not know, nor do we know who opened his eyes. Ask him; he is of age. He will speak for himself.” 22 (His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone should confess Jesus to be Christ, he was to be put out of the synagogue.) 23 Therefore his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.”








Jesus is God. Jesus has the right to create harmony.
Jesus had the right to Judge.

Jesus absolutely -
Jesus loves you. Me too.
Jesus created Salvation and wants Christians to be in peace. The growth of new Fruit of the Spirit.
Jesus wants us to Grow in Him daily.


Proverbs 29:25
The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is safe.

Jesus is dealing with a major fear mankind has preventing growing closer to God.
We are afraid to tear down walls.

Soul to soul intimacy. Guts out and the fear of being rejected.

Philippians 3


1. Selfishness creates disharmony

James 4
What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you? 2 You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask. 3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions.


2. We are better at building something new and not maintaining. Weariness in doing good.
Today's John Chapter 9 passage has major fear of something new. Not a rejoicing at Good.

3. God is the only explanation for good.

4. Our culture tells us to improve ourselves, have more, sparkle better. Live for yourself. Ego - Edge God Out.

5. No team is created. We all need to nurture the people God brings us.

6. Selfless. We think of others, listening to what is said. Not just our own interests.
Creates something new.
Rising above behavior with kindness - creates a new harmony.
Jesus listened to the man needing healing. His background was carefully considered in the healing.

Showing up creates a new path.
Attention, listening, is giving of treasure. Listening is giving life.
Hospitality is a path. Even offering small things.






GALATIANS 6

Sowing and Reaping in God's Strength.

God wants us go plant, affirm, give Words of God. God's vision goes so far - He sees solutions, possibilities, forgiveness leading to new paths.
Respond to God - not what other's want you to do.

Galatians 6 Creates Growth

Not returning evil but rising up in God's strength.
Fruit of God is Galatians 5
Galatians 6 tells us how to Sow for God.

1. Respond to people gently.
God is going to give us the strength. We think of ourselves first. God is going to help us to overcome our natural inclination of self.

2. Do Good.
God and Peter - Jesus immediately reached down for Peter...
Jesus reached for the man who had been blind from birth - knowing there was a cost.
Pride leads to arguments. Criticism. Looking down at people. Competitiveness. Comparisons are not allowing us to being the unique people God has created us to be. Harmony in the Body of Christ.

3. Test our own work. Face the ouch. Bear our own personal responsibility.

Examine spaces...
A proud attitude. Topping the last story. Not admitting problems. Using humor as a weapon to create space.

Insecurity
The fear and disabilities of public opinion

Acquire the attitudes of God.
Courage to build love. Like Jesus making breakfast on the beach.
with all humility
and gentleness, with patience,
bearing with one another in love, (well put - patience!)
eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace!


This passage of John 9 boldly tells us there is one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. Grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ's gift.

Therefore it says,

“When he ascended on high he led a host of captives,
and he gave gifts to men.”



In God We Trust.


The news certainly is telling us the world offers no certainties. We are constantly besieged with what is wrong. The news then circles in the problems. 

God is always offering us the opportunity for renewal. 
For encouragement. When we believe God - we are strengthened. The prayers of a righteous man availeth much. How shall we attain this? The one touch of the favor of God? Easily. To pray the Lord's Prayer. We are covered. The Holiness of God. His Hopes and Aspirations for us. His Forgiveness. His protection. His guidance. In this Prayer, God opens His heart to us always.

Our Father,
Who art in Heaven,
Holy is Your Name,
Thy Kingdom Come
Thy Will be done on earth as in Heaven.
Give us this day
our daily bread.
Forgive us our Sins,
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation
Deliver us from evil.
For Thine is
The Kingdom, The Power and The Glory.
Forever.
In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.


Abba, Father God,

Strengthen our hearts to Love as You do.

Today, you and I open our souls and all of me to You, Lord Jesus.
Dwell in us
Help us Seek You First. 

Encourage us to do good actions.
Give us wisdom to renew our lives.
In Hope we will go far with You, Lord Jesus.
In Faith, we give to You the ones we love and want to bring You forth for eternal Love.


The snare of death is broken,
and we have escaped!
Our help is in the Name of the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.
In Love, dwell within us to be renewed on the wings of eagles.

Jesus our Living Bread, Our Shepherd, Our Salvation,
we call upon You with earnest hearts. Amen.

Thank You, Jesus Christ Our LORD!

Genesis 1:27 ~ male and female He created them

 

Genesis 1:27 ~ male and female he created them

Reprinted (mostly!) from Tuesday, September 09, 2014



Genesis 1:27

So God created man in His own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.

Genesis 2 gives Adam a longer time being alone and then woman is made from Adam’s rib. The first few Chapters of Genesis have some mystery. Both Genesis chapters let us know, the blueprint image of man – God’s image – has male and female aspects. Adam’s rib was removed to create woman, Adam was split (forgive the pun) to be the Adam we consider mankind today.

God isn't uptight about sex, the sexes or the division. God created ALL of this.  God doesn't favor men, He has aspects of mankind - both men and women. I like God, He is clear about what He believes!

God does have an agenda. 
And it isn't a Learning Not to Be Seen just blend in Agenda. God steps out and says His Agenda. John the Disciple found this enough to risk and change his life - God is Love.
Not God has love. Not God loves you. Instead, far more. God Is Love. God Is Love and God explains the Way, Truth and Life.  This is the place God says where Love is protected, sheltered, and allowed to have room to grow. This is where I want to be and I hope you do too!



Ephesians 5:25-33

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.

 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church— for we are members of his body. "

For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh."This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.



Proverbs 1 honors women as the female aspect of God being wisdom. 
The Lord honors women in Proverbs 1. He doesn't dwell on father, verses 8 and 9 says honor both parents. This is parental advice from God the parent. Abba encourages Love  because He is Love.

Proverbs 1

1 The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel:
2 for gaining wisdom and instruction;
for understanding words of insight;

3 for receiving instruction in prudent behavior,
doing what is right and just and fair;

4 for giving prudence to those who are simple,
knowledge and discretion to the young—

5 let the wise listen and add to their learning,
and let the discerning get guidance—

6 for understanding proverbs and parables,
the sayings and riddles of the wise.

7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge,
but fools despise wisdom and instruction.




8 Listen, my son, to your father's instruction
and do not forsake your mother's teaching.
9 They are a garland to grace your head
and a chain to adorn your neck.

10 My son, if sinful men entice you,
do not give in to them.

11 If they say, "Come along with us;
let's lie in wait for innocent blood,
let's ambush some harmless soul;

12 let's swallow them alive, like the grave,
and whole, like those who go down to the pit;

13 we will get all sorts of valuable things
and fill our houses with plunder;

14 cast lots with us;
we will all share the loot"—

15 my son, do not go along with them,
do not set foot on their paths;

16 for their feet rush into evil,
they are swift to shed blood.

17 How useless to spread a net
where every bird can see it!

18 These men lie in wait for their own blood;
they ambush only themselves!

19 Such are the paths of all who go after ill-gotten gain;
it takes away the life of those who get it.




20 Out in the open wisdom calls aloud,
she raises her voice in the public square;
21 on top of the wall she cries out,
at the city gate she makes her speech:

22 "How long will you who are simple love your simple ways?
How long will mockers delight in mockery
and fools hate knowledge?

23 Repent at my rebuke!
Then I will pour out my thoughts to you,
I will make known to you my teachings.

24 But since you refuse to listen when I call
and no one pays attention when I stretch out my hand,

25 since you disregard all my advice
and do not accept my rebuke,

26 I in turn will laugh when disaster strikes you;
I will mock when calamity overtakes you—

27 when calamity overtakes you like a storm,
when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind,
when distress and trouble overwhelm you.

28 "Then they will call to me but I will not answer;
they will look for me but will not find me,

29 since they hated knowledge
and did not choose to fear the LORD.

30 Since they would not accept my advice
and spurned my rebuke,

31 they will eat the fruit of their ways
and be filled with the fruit of their schemes.

32 For the waywardness of the simple will kill them,
and the complacency of fools will destroy them;

 

33 but whoever listens to me will live in safety
and be at ease, without fear of harm."


None of us have lived with ease, without fear of harm these last two years. 

God isn't so worried. He has a Plan. 
God's Plan is going Forth to Fill His Word and Give God the Glory. 
We shall rejoice and be glad in Him. 
This is the Day.
 This is the Day the Lord hath made!

 




Abba, Father,

Dwell in me!
Help me to Seek You First!

Bless those I love and the People You've given me
to have You dwell in us all and Help us all Seek You First.

When I made the Lord's Prayer Gif above, I was concerned the Kingdom of God
was hidden in the landscape. You are not Hidden, Father God.

The Flaw in the Gif is made Strong in Jesus Christ.
Father, it is in the heart, mind and soul of all of our prayers
 Your Kingdom is seen more and more on this earth.


Jesus has said to me and to you, "Pray for more of God's Good Kingdom
to be done on earth as in Heaven."

What astonishing Good Fortune!
How Blessed we are to Serve the God of Love.
Love God, Love His Creation, Ask for This Marvelous Help!
Pray with Hope, Expect You to be Pleased and Thrilled
and filled with Love at this Prayer.

And in the Power and Glory of the Highest Name of Jesus,
we will begin to look and see more of God's Heaven on this earth.



May God Bless Edward, our family,


our mothers, Dee, Elliott, and all who are still
very concerned over the God Sized Events of the last two years.

The Bible is being Incredibly Read These Years
Have All Hope.
Lift again tired dog path knees and straighten again

Hebrews 12:11-15

11 For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. 

 12 Therefore lift 
your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, 
13 and make straight paths for your feet, 
so that what is lame may not be put out of joint 
but 
rather 
be healed! 

14 Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. 

15 See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; 
that no “root of bitterness” springs up and causes trouble, 
and by it many become defiled.


Let the Love God is Strengthen us to Joy.
Our Path to be in His Plan.
In the Wonderful and the 
Highest Name of Jesus Christ.
Amen in His Joy. 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. <><
