Matthew 10:16 ~ be wise

 


4 Chinese Spy Balloons are recorded in 2023





Manor is 14 Miles from Austin, Texas

10 miles from the GIGANTIC new Tesla Plant

389 Miles to an OPEN BORDER

4 hours from an Open Border in West Texas actual speeds


















OPEN BORDERS
ARE A TERRIBLE IDEA


During World War I 

1915, President Woodrow Wilson
was told Nazi's were at the Mexican Border
This is what History Records:






Matthew 10:16



Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be ye therefore wise as serpents and harmless as doves.

Matthew 5:9
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God” 

The best way to have peace, is to be wise.







Abba, Father,

From the rising of the sun to its setting, 
the name of the Lord is to be praised

 Because of the tender mercy of our God, 
whereby the sunrise shall visit us from on high to give light 
to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, 
to guide our feet
 into 
the way of peace. 


We pray for Peace
as a Nation
and as the world 
recovers from the loss of food
in Ukraine
and because of Pandemic Recovery

We pray for Peace
Victory over the warmonger
and the vengeful.

We'd like to see
Peace again in the Middle East
and for Ukraine
at the Border of the USA.
For Taiwan.

In the Highest Name of Jesus
we ask His Help.
Amen

♔ Lord Jesus Saves †







Thank You Jesus

Romans 8:22-39 ~ it is God who justifies


Romans 8:22-39



22 For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. 23 And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. 24 For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.

26 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. 27 And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. 28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good [God works all things together for good, or God works in all things for the good], for those who are called according to his purpose. 29 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30 And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.

31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? 33 Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36 As it is written,

“For your sake we are being killed all the day long;
we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”

37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

God intercedes for us. The woman grabbing the fringe of His Robe, wasn't God. God allows our worries, as the woman grabbed Jesus, to fall aside and the striving is the importance of the Lord. We are more than conquerors through Him who loves us. Nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

How much does God help us? Here it says, the Holy Spirit of God helps us.

What did the people who had seen Jesus say about the willingness of God:

Peter wrote, saying Jesus does not help us under compulsion. He helps willingly.


1 Peter 5:2
Care for the flock that God has entrusted to you. Watch over it willingly, not grudgingly--not for what you will get out of it, but because you are eager to serve God.


Peter once knelt before Jesus and asked Him to leave after seeing Jesus act on God's glory. Peter saw Jesus Resurrected and jumped out the boat, knowing Peter had betrayed Jesus. Peter wasn't just physically fed breakfast, Peter was asked to be part of God's love and work. Jesus justified Peter and forgave his weaknesses.


John lived with Jesus. John says God lavishes His love on us:

1 John 3:1
How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.


John fully lived most of his adult life knowing he was adopted by Jesus. Changing his life for the great love, the glory, John wrote of 18 times in his Gospel written with the Holy Spirit.

Matthew wrote:


Matthew 5:44
But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you


Jesus saw past the Temple Priests being picked by Herod and knew the Tax Collectors were just as much under Roman authority. Matthew, a son of Alpheus was from the Capernaum area - an upwardly mobile Jew working for the despised Romans. Matthew was so thrilled to be chosen by Jesus, Matthew didn't throw Jesus a party, Matthew gave Jesus a feast. Matthew brought every tax collector and thug (sinner) he could. Matthew was in awe at the forgiveness of God.

Mark 12:31
The second is this:" 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these."

The Harmony of Heaven. The way your favorite Hymn fills your heart and nourishes you.

Paul, as were all the disciples of Jesus, was sent out two by two. Paul loved Barnabas and really did not like Barnabus' cousin John Mark. Mark would go on to take the Word of God all over the world, through the centuries. We read the Gospel John Mark wrote as he matured in the Lord. What help John Mark grow? Barnabas was willing to love John Mark as himself. Only the Holy Spirit living in the people who had loved Jesus helped this man grow in the Lord.

Who was Jude? The brother of Jesus. The one who taunted Jesus to run up to Jerusalem to proclaim Jesus' ministry and later went to claim Him to come home and recover from being out of His mind. Jude - had his mother, Mary, given to John. Not in unkindness, but Jesus knew:

What was Jude's point of view on God's love?

Jude 1:2
Mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance.


And James, the brother of Jesus:

James 1:12
Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

James 1:27
Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.


We don't save the world. Or our loved ones. Jesus is the Salvation of those who are eager for Jesus and listen to His Word. Doing His Word.








Father, Abba,

On the days we do not appreciate all of our blessings, help infuse our blessings into our heart, minds and soul. Let every blood cell carry gratitude in us to our Joy 

And the Joy of Jesus Christ.

Help us to gather wisdom without shrewdness. Let us have the joy of gladness in our fellowship without the endless gathering of resources and funds.

Lord, in Your mercy, send help, in these days of gloom and unhappiness. Let those of us having a good season shine the Light of Jesus Christ so gently and brightly the world is eager for Jesus Christ. Let those of us having a season of stress and sorrow, believe gently and bring the Light of Jesus Christ for all of us.

In the Great Love of Jesus, 
we all be saved as we put our trust in Him.

Bless You, Father, for Jesus Christ. Amen.

John 14:21,22 ~ in God

 



John 14:21,22



Whoever does what is true comes to the light, 
so that it may be clearly seen that 
his works 
have been carried out in God. 

 After this 
Jesus and His disciples 
went into the Judean countryside, 
and He remained there with them 
and was baptizing

Jesus was Baptizing? Why? According to Mark's Gospel, the 3rd Chapter, Jesus said for all righteousness. To welcome righteousness. The Gospels are filled with so many miracles. Chapters telling us, "Jesus healed them all."  The whole large crowd would be healed of complex physical ailments. A renewed and healthy life.

Yet not everyone who came into the smaller towns and wilderness was lame, blind, deaf or leprous. Not everyone was poor. The Book of Acts records the people in Herod's own household were coming to know Jesus and His Word. Jesus tells us He was tired of the people who wanted to see the miracles and be fed, but really wanted to only receive and have a full stomach.

Jesus would have wanted all the people, His people, His Beloved to remain whole, seeing, hearing and clean. When Jesus said repent, Baptism is giving a sign for renewal.  Renewed lives. New thoughts. Hope. Faith and Love.










Matthew 3

16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, He went up out of the water. 

At that moment, Heaven was opened, 
and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove 
and alighting on Him. 

17 And a Voice from Heaven said, 
“This is my Son, Whom I Love; 
with Him I am well pleased.”













Abba, Father,

Dwell in us mightily.
Know every cell and bring Light
within us in Your Joy and Love.

Be the Light to those I Love.

Help this Joy fill Your Good Creation.

Help us to not grow weary
Renew us
remembering our Living Water 
Streams of
 Jesus Christ, Messiah, Son of the Most High

In Your Mercy
help us to be
Your Joyful Temple.

Help us to Seek You First
and Pray
to You
in Jesus Christ
with all Joy of Your Steadfast
Love.

In The Highest Name of
Jesus Christ
we believe
and 
ask
Please Father,
Your Willing and Immeasurable
Blessings!

Our Father is able to do immeasurably more 
than all we ask or imagine, 
according to His power 
that is at work within us, 
to Him be the glory in the church 
and 
in Christ Jesus 
throughout all generations, 
forever and ever. 
Amen.

♔ Lord Jesus Saves †

Luke 24:32 ~ warm within






Luke 10:21-24



They said to each other, 
“Did not our hearts warm within us
 while He talked to us on the road,
 while He opened to us the
 Scriptures?”



We all have within us a deep and abiding connection to Father God through our mind, heart and soul. He keeps us in Him. God renews us.

In the middle of having a cold. In the middle of business. In the middle of quiet. Father God gives us His Presence. We are alive in His Love.







Abba, Father God,

We will all have a day when our Time is planned to go Home.  Your Beloved being covered in the grace of Jesus Christ, Wonderful and Auspicious God.

Father God, warm and tender our hearts as Jesus did on the Emmaus Road. Help us to be to You, like Daniel, who knew God is God. 

Let us remember again,
God is Good and Your Goodness. Real Goodness.  Life is strong and filled with real Hope of God. The Strength of God - Peter Knew Jesus is God and Jesus is Words of Life. Eternal Life.



Rembrandt's Road to Emmaus

Let us truly, and really appreciate, the people we have in our hearts, let us encourage and build them up. Knowing we want our Beloved to feel loved. To be appreciated. We want to walk the path God has given us to know we did our best. Today, today, today we pleased Jesus.

Our lives continue forever - and yet, the gift of time teaches us - Today is our life and we really want empowerment making the most and best of our God Given treasures He Gives to us today. Filling our tomorrow is filled with joy. Knowing His pleasure we worked for Wonderful Jesus. Father God embolden and empower - helping us - to be love and encouragement to the ones we Love and the people You have Given us.

Thank You for my children. Living and alive in Heaven. Thank You for our home and the people You have Lovingly, Lovingly given me. Your mercies renew and Your Mercies are diligently given in my life.





Hosea 14 

5 I will be like the dew to Israel;
He will blossom like a lily.
Like a cedar of Lebanon
He will send down his roots;
6 His young shoots will grow.
His splendor will be like an olive tree,
His fragrance like a cedar of Lebanon.

7 People will dwell 
again
 in His shade;
they will flourish like the grain,
they will blossom like the vine—
Israel’s fame will be like the wine of Lebanon.




What is our Father God? Tender mercy and renewed Strength of hands and heart and tender Love.


Matthew 13

31 He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field. 32 It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.”

Jesus, You have told us. "How often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings!!!"





Yes, thank you, Father

Oh, the places He would go. You uphold Life by Your Word.  A Beautiful Promise and Sure Truth. Life Forevermore in Jesus the Only Son of God. God is Truth.

Dwell in us
Dwell in the people we Love
Dwell in the people you have given us
Please, Father

Help us to seek You First
And we will finish well in Jesus Christ.

Jesus our Wonderful. Amen in Jesus 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. <><
