Malachi 4 ~ Behold, the day comes

 


Malachi 4



“For behold, the day comes, burning like an oven, when all the arrogant and all evildoers will be stubble; the day that comes shall burn them up, says the Lord of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch.

But for you who fear my name the sun of righteousness shall rise, with healing in its wings. You shall go forth leaping like calves from the stall. 3 And you shall tread down the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet, on the day when I act, says the Lord of hosts.

4 “Remember the law of my servant Moses, the statutes and ordinances that I commanded him at Horeb for all Israel.

5 “Behold, I will send you Eli′jah the prophet before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes. 6 And he will turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the land with a curse.”



God loves to tell and repeat matters of Faith. Elisha, also, lived seeing this verse.

2 Kings 7

7 But Elisha said, “Hear the word of the Lord: thus says the Lord, Tomorrow about this time a seah of fine flour shall be sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, at the gate of Samaria.” 2 Then the captain on whose hand the king leaned said to the man of God, “If the Lord himself should make windows in heaven, could this thing be?” But he said, “You shall see it with your own eyes, but you shall not eat of it.”
The Syrians Flee

3 Now there were four men who were lepers at the entrance to the gate. And they said to one another, “Why are we sitting here until we die? 4 If we say, ‘Let us enter the city,’ the famine is in the city, and we shall die there. And if we sit here, we die also. So now come, let us go over to the camp of the Syrians. If they spare our lives we shall live, and if they kill us we shall but die.” 5 So they arose at twilight to go to the camp of the Syrians. But when they came to the edge of the camp of the Syrians, behold, there was no one there. 6 For the Lord had made the army of the Syrians hear the sound of chariots and of horses, the sound of a great army, so that they said to one another, “Behold, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Egypt to come against us.” 7 So they fled away in the twilight and abandoned their tents, their horses, and their donkeys, leaving the camp as it was, and fled for their lives. 8 And when these lepers came to the edge of the camp, they went into a tent and ate and drank, and they carried off silver and gold and clothing and went and hid them. Then they came back and entered another tent and carried off things from it and went and hid them.

9 Then they said to one another, “We are not doing right. This day is a day of good news. If we are silent and wait until the morning light, punishment will overtake us. Now therefore come; let us go and tell the king's household.” 10 So they came and called to the gatekeepers of the city and told them, “We came to the camp of the Syrians, and behold, there was no one to be seen or heard there, nothing but the horses tied and the donkeys tied and the tents as they were.”

Then the gatekeepers called out, and it was told within the king's household. 12 And the king rose in the night and said to his servants, “I will tell you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we are hungry. Therefore they have gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the open country, thinking, ‘When they come out of the city, we shall take them alive and get into the city.’”

And one of his servants said, “Let some men take five of the remaining horses, seeing that those who are left here will fare like the whole multitude of Israel who have already perished. Let us send and see.” 14 So they took two horsemen, and the king sent them after the army of the Syrians, saying, “Go and see.”

So they went after them as far as the Jordan, and behold, all the way was littered with garments and equipment that the Syrians had thrown away in their haste. And the messengers returned and told the king.

16 Then the people went out and plundered the camp of the Syrians. So a seah of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the Lord.

Now the king had appointed the captain on whose hand he leaned to have charge of the gate. And the people trampled him in the gate, so that he died, as the man of God had said when the king came down to him. 18 For when the man of God had said to the king, “Two seahs of barley shall be sold for a shekel, and a seah of fine flour for a shekel, about this time tomorrow in the gate of Samaria,” 19 the captain had answered the man of God, “If the Lord himself should make windows in heaven, could such a thing be?” And he had said, “You shall see it with your own eyes, but you shall not eat of it.” 20 And so it happened to him, for the people trampled him in the gate and he died.




Jeremiah 31:31
Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah








God also explained the economic conditions of the time of Jesus.




Isaiah 7

18 In that day the Lord will whistle for the fly that is at the end of the streams of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria. 19 And they will all come and settle in the steep ravines, and in the clefts of the rocks, and on all the thornbushes, and on all the pastures.

20 In that day the Lord will shave with a razor that is hired beyond the River—with the king of Assyria—the head and the hair of the feet, and it will sweep away the beard also.

21 In that day a man will keep alive a young cow and two sheep, 22 and because of the abundance of milk that they give, he will eat curds, for everyone who is left in the land will eat curds and honey.

23 In that day every place where there used to be a thousand vines, worth a thousand shekels of silver, will become briers and thorns. 24 With bow and arrows a man will come there, for all the land will be briers and thorns. 25 And as for all the hills that used to be hoed with a hoe, you will not come there for fear of briers and thorns, but they will become a place where cattle are let loose and where sheep tread.


Abba, Father,

Thank You, Father God. For Your amazing prophetic Word. 
Bless us to walk in Your paths. 

In Jesus. Amen

Psalm 24 ~ The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof

 








Psalm 24


The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof

   The world and those who dwell therein,
for He has founded it upon the seas
    and established it upon the rivers.

 Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord?
    And who shall stand in His holy place?
He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
    who does not lift up his soul to what is false
    and does not swear deceitfully.

He will receive blessing from the Lord
    and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

Such is the generation of those who seek Him,
    who seek the face of the God of Jacob. Selah




7 Lift up your heads, O gates!
    And be lifted up, O ancient doors,
    that the King of glory may come in.

8 Who is this King of glory?
    The Lord, strong and mighty,
    the Lord, mighty in battle!
9 Lift up your heads, O gates!
    And lift them up, O ancient doors,
    that the King of glory may come in.
10 Who is this King of glory?
    The Lord of hosts,
    he is the King of glory! 
Selah



Not everyone is tremendously thrilled with a huge cold front, snowstorm, sweeping across the USA, this week.  Being from Texas, most of us would take a pass on winter. And even those who love winter, are concerned for the electrical grid stability and so much more. For some less sunlight, is not very beneficial.





No one does not like the song, "I Must Have Done Something Good." And really, no one is going to turn down, "Climb Every Mountain." We might not want to get caught like the Movie, "Tommy Boy" singing with Karen Carpenter in the car. However, we all have, these are a few of my favorite things.

When the dog bites, When the bee stings, When I'm feeling sad, I simply remember my favorite things, And then I don't feel so bad... Living Word!










One of the vast passages of God's Living Word is Psalm 24. To read Psalm 24 in a time of that can be overwhelming, is to feel the Comfort of the Holy Spirit.  Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow, He has all  the Universe upheld by the Power of His Word. The King of Glory. Mighty to Save. Ancient of Days. 













God is so astonishingly available.


Abba, Father God,

We would pray with Jesus Christ to let the Spirit give Life to this prayer.
Dwell in us.
Dwell in those we Love.
Help us to seek You first.
And in Jesus we will finish well.

Thank You for 12 Open Gates of Heaven. Thank You for Jesus our mediator. 
Thank You, You ask as God for us to pray and talk with You.
You are a God of open arms, open heart, open ear policies. Our Father.

We rise up in Love,  giving You are cares - the real ones.

We pray for the upcoming and recent weather events,
asking Your Mercy and Love.

Giving You the People we Love - knowing prayer stirs up Life.

My eye surgery is now 2 weeks away, due to reaction with a med.
We pray this goes very well.
And for Dee and her hip surgery to happen soon.

For my sons and their new decisions, life has presented them.

Praying for the Nation. Healing. And the upset world.

Giving You all people around the world, thinking of the millenniums and Jesus.
Thank You, Abba, Your Hope and Plan is ongoing.

Thank You for Your Life, Jesus. 
We will live on with You in the Hope and Future of Your Plan for us all.

Amen Jesus Christ.

Psalm 19 ~ Reviving the soul




Psalm 19



The heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims his handiwork. Day to day pours forth speech,and night to night declares knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words;their voice is not heard; yet their voice goes out through all the earth,and their words to the end of the world. 
In them he has set a tent for the sun, which comes forth like a bridegroom leaving his chamber,and like a strong man runs its course with joy.


Its rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of them; and there is nothing hid from its heat.


The law of the LORD is perfect,
reviving the soul;
the testimony of the LORD is sure,
making wise the simple;
the precepts of the LORD are right,
rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the LORD is pure,
enlightening the eyes;
the fear of the LORD is clean,
enduring for ever;
the ordinances of the LORD are true,
and righteous altogether.


More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold;
sweeter also than honeyand drippings of the honeycomb.
Moreover by them is thy servant warned;
in keeping them there is great reward.
But who can discern his errors?


Clear thou me from hidden faults.
Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins;
let them not have dominion over me!
Then I shall be blameless,and innocent of great transgression.


God sees us as we are.



Abba, Father God,

May God Bless us by dwelling in us.
Bless us by dwelling  in those we Love.

Bless us surrounding, upholding, comforting us
and Blessing us in the Highest Name of Jesus Christ.

May we be so blessed as to seek God first.
Blessed be the Highest Name of Jesus
for Fulfilling His Word to us.

This is the 36th Anniversary for Edward and me.
We had a very lovely evening. Surrounded by Christmas Tree lights.

Years have pasted, Father God,
and yet, we have so many rich memories.
Thank You, Father. Abba.

Mark 16:1-8 
~ they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled 

Alleluia, Jesus has the Victory.
Alleluia!

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. <><
