🕊️ The Anointing at Bethany

And being in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, as He sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster flask of very costly oil of spikenard. 

Then she broke the flask and poured it on His head. 

But there were some who were indignant among themselves, and said, “Why was this fragrant oil wasted? 

For it might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor.” 

And they criticized her sharply.

But Jesus said, “Let her alone. 

Why do you trouble her? 

She has done a good work for Me. 

For you have the poor with you always, and whenever you wish you may do them good; but Me you do not have always. 

She has done what she could. 

She has come beforehand to anoint My body for burial. 

Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her.” 🕊️

Mark 14:3-9

🕊️ Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. 🕊️

Revelations 3:20

Good morning Father!

Thank You for this day!

Thank You for my life!

Thank You for my sweet bride, Amy!

Thank You for my beautiful daughter, Selah!

All that I am and all I possess, they are blessings from You O Lord!

Thank You!

What have we done? What work have I performed, when it is time for me to go, when my death is apparent and coming soon, is there one act or task performed which all who know me will remember?

Will it be when I ran through the halls of my high school naked, screaming at the top of my lungs, as if freed from a long bondage, running in a societal rebellion, streaking my school?

I would rather be remembered as the man who stood on the street corner of Hollywood and Vine, at night time, the location was close to the “Walk of Fame”, standing at the corner I was holding up a full sized door, written on it in big bold letters, ”Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.” 

That night I had passed out more than 5000 basic Christian tracts, which shows images and scripture of the steps one can take to be saved, to become a Christian and be Forgiven for all their sins.

Who will remember me and what will be the memory?

When I stand before You Father, when You sit in the judgement seat, looking at me and my entire life history and the life I lived is before You, how will You judge me? 

How is it I will be remembered?

Father, I pray Your Holy Spirit fill me today, may I serve You this day, in my writings and in my actions and the words I share with my loved ones, may I walk in the light of Your presence, clothed in the full armor of God, may I shine bright, in the darkness around me, and share Your Word and Your Love, to the lost, the dying, and those who are aimlessly searching.

O Lord, I lift up All my children before You, All my grandchildren, All my great grandchildren, and all their little ones, may all my generations to come follow You Lord! 

I pray You keep them safe today Father, may Your Spirit rests upon each one, and may they each accept the path You have for them to follow, may they accept the charge You appoint for them gladly and with thanksgiving, may Your Spirit, Your Teacher, guide their way and continue alongside them along their journey, comforting them in the struggles and lifting them up when they fall, bless these my children today Lord, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Father, my heart is heavy and my hands are ready to share my story. 

I pray Father, You guide my hands and my thoughts, as I put to pen all that has passed before me, all the terrible days I walked in conflict, seeking an answer for my struggles and which way to turn, not having an example to follow, my father having abandoned me and only You to guide my way.

Lead me O Lord, may I walk today as Your child of the light, may I shine Your light, in and through all I say and do today, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ I will hear what God the LORD will speak,

For He will speak peace

To His people and to His saints;

But let them not turn back to folly.

Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him,

That glory may dwell in our land.

Mercy and truth have met together;

Righteousness and peace have kissed.

Truth shall spring out of the earth,

And righteousness shall look down from heaven.

Yes, the LORD will give what is good;

And our land will yield its increase.

Righteousness will go before Him,

And shall make His footsteps our pathway. 🕊️

O Father God, open my eyes and my ears, to see and hear, what is the depth of Your Word, placed within my heart, my mind, and my spirit. 

Bless me this day O Lord, that I might hear Your Spirit, Your Teacher, guiding my steps, leading me along the path of righteousness and peace.

May Your Word in my heart take root, deep within my mind and not be choked out by weeds, or stolen away by the evil one, and when hard times come, when in the worst of situations, may my actions be one of Faith and remembering Your Word, having put on the full armor of God, to stand, not fall.

O Lord, I pray Your blessings over All my children today, All my grandchildren, and my great grandchildren, may Your Holy Spirit, Your Teacher, rest upon each one, leading them, calling to them to follow the path of the Way, the path Jesus has taught us to follow, filled with Faith and His Word in our hearts, may we all stand firm today.

🕊️ Now a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man and mighty in the Scriptures, came to Ephesus. 

This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things of the Lord, though he knew only the baptism of John. 

So he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. 

When Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately. 

And when he desired to cross to Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him; and when he arrived, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace; for he vigorously refuted the Jews publicly, showing from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ. 🕊️

Lord, may I walk today in the light of Your presence, and shine Your light, as Your child, in and through all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

🕊️ Give ear, O my people, to my law;

Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

I will open my mouth in a parable;

I will utter dark sayings of old,

Which we have heard and known,

And our fathers have told us.

We will not hide them from their children,

Telling to the generation to come the praises of the LORD,

And His strength and His wonderful works that He has done.

For He established a testimony in Jacob,

And appointed a law in Israel,

Which He commanded our fathers,

That they should make them known to their children;

That the generation to come might know them,

The children who would be born,

That they may arise and declare them to their children,

That they may set their hope in God,

And not forget the works of God,

But keep His commandments; 🕊️

Psalms 78:1-7

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

🕊️ Bow down Your ear, O LORD, hear me;

For I am poor and needy.

Preserve my life, for I am holy;

You are my God;

Save Your servant who trusts in You!

Be merciful to me, O Lord,

For I cry to You all day long.

Rejoice the soul of Your servant,

For to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.

For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive,

And abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You.

Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer;

And attend to the voice of my supplications.

In the day of my trouble I will call upon You,

For You will answer me. 🕊️

Father God, My ears have heard You speak, when I read from my bible, its as if You are there in the room with me, speaking to me, these teachings, and they’re so much more than just ‘words’, which I now can testify, they are powerful and are a ‘transformation’, waiting to happen for all who read them. 

Your Word is not magic, like reading spells from a wizard’s spell book, they are “Life” and blessed by You, because You are the “Creator”, You created me in Your own image, blessed my life with so many blessings I did not at first recognize were from You Father.

Now, today, as the years have passed and what seems like more than a lifetime of struggle and searching, “reading” the Word, opens my mind and I can hear Your voice speaking to me, and so many memories pass through my mind, like short video clips, I see memories of my life and my circumstances which You were there, watching over me from afar. 

My blessings have increased with each day that passes and I now hold in my mind and heart, the lives of All my children, my grandchildren, and great grandchildren, living and growing in this life, with all the same life challenges awaiting them at every turn. The choices are simple or they can be difficult, depending on the path followed, so I pray O Lord, send Your HOly SPirit into their lives today, may they sense Your Spirit’s presence and hear the “Words” in their heart, lead them in the Way Holy Spirit, guide their feet on a path to the light, and use them to bring glory to Your holy name, Yahweh!

Again, today I continue on my life journey, reading and searching my heart to make evident my thoughts and actions are in line with the “Words” You placed in my heart to follow and experience a living and ongoing heavenly blessing. 

Bless my day O Lord, may I shine as Your child of the light today, in and through all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?”

Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 

For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”

And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Be saved from this perverse generation.” 

Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them. 

And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. 

Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. 

Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need.

So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. 

And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved. 🕊️

Father, I lift up All those who have lost their homes and possessions from the fires in my local area this week and around the world, it is such a traumatic experience for anyone, I can imagine the stress it can put a person under, I pray Father Your Spirit comfort these people and their families and bless them with the relief they need to recover and carry on another day.

🕊️ He Is Risen

Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. 

And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it. 

His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. 🕊️

🕊️ Remember the LORD Your God

“Every commandment which I command you today you must be careful to observe, that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land of which the LORD swore to your fathers, and you shall remember that the LORD your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not. So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD. Your garments did not wear out on you, nor did your foot swell these forty years. You should know in your heart that as a man chastens his son, so the LORD your God chastens you.”

“Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God, to walk in His ways and to fear Him. 🕊️

🕊️ “And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day. 

Then it shall be, if you by any means forget the LORD your God, and follow other gods, and serve them and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish. 🕊️

Deuteronomy 8:1-6, 18-19

🕊️ First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world. 

For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of His Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers, making request if, by some means, now at last I may find a way in the will of God to come to you. 

For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established, that is, that I may be encouraged together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me. 🕊️

🕊️ An Invitation to Abundant Life

“Ho! Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters;

And you who have no money, come, buy and eat.

Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

Why do you spend money for what is not bread,

And your wages for what does not satisfy?

Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good,

And let your soul delight itself in abundance.

Incline your ear, and come to Me.

Hear, and your soul shall live;

And I will make an everlasting covenant with you, the sure mercies of David. 🕊️

Isaiah 55:1-3

🕊️ Seek the LORD while He may be found,

Call upon Him while He is near.

And He will have mercy on him;

And to our God,

For He will abundantly pardon. 🕊️

🕊️ There Is No Other God

“Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel,

And his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts:

I am the First and I am the Last;

Besides Me there is no God.

And who can proclaim as I do?

Then let him declare it and set it in order for Me,

Since I appointed the ancient people.

And the things that are coming and shall come,

Let them show these to them.

Do not fear, nor be afraid;

Have I not told you from that time, and declared it?

You are My witnesses.

Is there a God besides Me?

Indeed there is no other Rock;

I know not one.’ ” 🕊️

Psalms 18:46

~~~~~~~

🕊️ The heavens declare the glory of God;

And the firmament shows His handiwork.

Day unto day utters speech, and night unto night reveals knowledge.

There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard.

Their line has gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world.

In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun,

Which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,

And rejoices like a strong man to run its race.

Its rising is from one end of heaven, and its circuit to the other end;

And there is nothing hidden from its heat.

The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul;

The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple;

The statutes 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 forever;

The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.

More to be desired are they than gold, Yea, than much fine gold;

Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

Moreover by them Your servant is warned,

And in keeping them there is great reward.

Who can understand his errors?

Cleanse me from secret faults.

Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins;

Let them not have dominion over me, then I shall be blameless,

And I shall be innocent of great transgression.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight,

O LORD, my strength and my Redeemer. 🕊️

This world doesn’t have enough words or ways of expression, to describe Your divine nature O God, Your only son, Jesus, and Your Holy Spirit, which have been made manifest to us all, simply, in the Word, the Bible, the teachings of Jesus. You opened up the meaning and reason for His coming into this world, that He might see us all find Redemption, and not perish.

🕊️  The Beginning of Knowledge

The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel:

To know wisdom and instruction,

To perceive the words of understanding,

To receive the instruction of wisdom,

Justice, judgment, and equity;

To give prudence to the simple,

To the young man knowledge and discretion—

A wise man will hear and increase learning,

And a man of understanding will attain wise counsel,

To understand a proverb and an enigma,

The words of the wise and their riddles.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge,

But fools despise wisdom and instruction. 🕊️

Teacher, I need You today, may I put on the full armor of God, and may I have open ears, an open heart, and an open mind, to follow Your Word, O Lord, and step out in Faith, to live the life of Truth, albeit, filled with choices, may You guide me to the right and just choices, and forgive me when I step out of bounds, bring me back to the path of Truth and following the Way.

Jesus, I lift up All my loved ones this morning, that they may hear Your Holy Spirit’s ‘call’, may they follow Your Leading, to the path of Life and Truth.

Jesus, my Lord, my Savior, my Shepherd and my Redeemer, I lift up All my children before You this morning, All my grandchildren and their little ones, I pray for their safety, I pray for their spirit and souls, may Your Holy Spirit, Your Teacher, fill each one today, may they accept the gifts You have to offer them and may they learn to follow the Way, may they bring Your light with them into the darkness, leading the lost and the blind to Redemption, may they be Your tools of Faith and Salvation, to all around them, may they walk in boldness and newness of life today.

Bless my children O Lord Jesus!

Father, may I shine my light today and walk in Your Way, may my whole being be focused on You O Lord and bring glory to Your Holy name, Yahweh, in and through all I say and do today, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 

Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. 🕊️

Ephesians 6:10-20

Good morning Father!

Thank You for this day!

Thank You for my life!

Thank You for my sweet bride, Amy!

Thank You for my beautiful daughter, Selah!

All that I am and all I possess, they are blessings from You O Lord!

Thank You!

Father, I praise You for Your Word and Your Holy Spirit, in which, each morning, as I read, and pray for All things on my heart, my needs facing me for my day, and for All my children and grandchildren, and their little ones, I seek Your council, Your intervention, Your healing, Your comfort and All the blessings You have given to Your child of Faith and child of the light.  

Fill me again today Father, May Your Holy Spirit, keep fresh in my mind, my heart, my spirit, every verse and teaching found in Your Word, and the revelation and wisdom found therein. 

May I be used by You, O Lord, as Your vessel for Truth and Faith, in and through all I say and do today, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

 ע AYIN

🕊️ I have done justice and righteousness;

Do not leave me to my oppressors.

Be surety for Your servant for good;

Do not let the proud oppress me.

My eyes fail from seeking Your salvation

And Your righteous word.

Deal with Your servant according to Your mercy,

And teach me Your statutes.

I am Your servant;

Give me understanding,

That I may know Your testimonies.

It is time for You to act, O LORD,

For they have regarded Your law as void.

Therefore I love Your commandments

More than gold, yes, than fine gold!

Therefore all Your precepts concerning all things

I consider to be right;

I hate every false way.

 פ PE

Your testimonies are wonderful;

Therefore my soul keeps them.

The entrance of Your words gives light;

It gives understanding to the simple.

I opened my mouth and panted,

For I longed for Your commandments.

Look upon me and be merciful to me,

As Your custom is toward those who love Your name.

Direct my steps by Your word,

And let no iniquity have dominion over me. 🕊️

Psalms 119:121-133

Good morning Father!

Thank You for this day!

Thank You for my life!

Thank You for my sweet bride, Amy!

Thank You for my beautiful daughter, Selah!

All that I am and all I possess, they are blessings from You O Lord!

Thank You!

Father, Today may I be filled with Your Holy Spirit, may I walk in the light with You and learn of Your Way, may Your Holy Spirit, Your Teacher, guide me in my walk of Faith, and shine Your light in the darkness around me, may I bring glory to Your Holy name, Yahweh!

Bless All my children today Father, All my grandchildren, and their little ones, may they receive Your Holy Spirit today, and walk in the light, as Your children, may they learn of You and the Way, may they bring light into the darkness around them today, may You keep them safe in Your loving arms, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ At that time Jesus answered and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and have revealed them to babes. 

Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight. 

All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. 

Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him. Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 

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. 

For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” 🕊️

Matthew 11:25-30

Good morning Father!

Thank You for this day!

Thank You for my life!

Thank You for my sweet bride, Amy!

Thank You for my beautiful daughter, Selah!

All that I am and all I possess, they are blessings from You O Lord!

Thank You!

Father, may I receive the “yoke” upon me, the one You speak of in Your Word today, that I might hear Your Word and ‘learn’ from You, teach me to be gentle and lowly in heart, help me to find the rest for my soul.

Lord, I believe Your Way is rooted in Grace, Mercy, and Love, which give me the ‘Rest’ You speak of in Your Word.

Jesus, I believe, You call Your yoke “easy” and Your burden “light” because Your way is rooted in Grace, Mercy, and Love. 

Many shepherds create “rules” they place on all people, without studying the “Root” meaning of Your Words, or in following in the Way to true “rest”.

Father, I lift up All my children before You, All my grandchildren, and all the ones who come after them, may they receive Your Word today, may they learn of You and accept the “Yoke” You speak of in Your Word, may they learn to walk humbly before You and receive the “rest” You speak of in Your Word.

Bless me this day O Lord, may I shine the light of Your Holy Spirit, in and through all I say and do today, in Jesus’ name, Amen! 

Praise Yahweh!

“Judge not, and you shall not be judged. 

Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. 

Forgive, and you will be forgiven. 

Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. 

For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.” 🕊️

Luke 6:37-38

I lift up All my children before You today Father, may they receive their sight and in reading Your Word, may they begin the journey towards the light, on the path which leads to life and Faith, the joy of Salvation in Jesus Christ!

O Lord, I lift my arms in Praise to You, Father, may I be filled with Your Holy Spirit today, may I walk in the path of the Way and shine my light, the light You placed within me, outwardly into the darkness, may the light reach those who are desperate to find You, in terrible need of the healing and comfort of Your presence in their lives, may this be my ask for today, and for Your blessing, in and through all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. 

I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.”

Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. 

But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.

“I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. 

I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”

And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.

~~~ A Warning

For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

~~~ I Am Coming Quickly

He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.”

Amen! Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen! 🕊️

🕊️ “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

“But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. 

And great was its fall.” 🕊️

Father, You have always been watching over me, my whole life.

I have not always followed Your Word and teachings, but in my heart I knew right from wrong, and I did not always follow the right path, until the day Your Holy Spirit came and blessed me with Your light, and opened my eyes to a life and purpose in following Your Word and Your Way, through Jesus Christ’s example and teachings.

Lord, today I continue my journey on the path You destined for me to follow, a life filled with Your Spirit, Your light, You protected me through the hard times and blessed me with good times, my life journey has been enriched by Your undeniable presence, and allowed me to use it as a witness for You O Lord.

🕊️ Nevertheless I am continually with You;

You hold me by my right hand.

You will guide me with Your counsel,

And afterward receive me to glory.

Whom have I in heaven but You?

And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You.

My flesh and my heart fail;

But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

For indeed, those who are far from You shall perish;

You have destroyed all those who desert You for harlotry.

But it is good for me to draw near to God;

I have put my trust in the Lord GOD,

That I may declare all Your works. 🕊️

🕊️ The LORD is righteous in her midst,

He will do no unrighteousness.

Every morning He brings His justice to light;

He never fails,

*But the unjust knows no shame.

“I have cut off nations,

Their fortresses are devastated;

I have made their streets desolate,

With none passing by.

Their cities are destroyed;

There is no one, no inhabitant.

I said, ‘Surely you will fear Me,

You will receive instruction’ so that her dwelling would not be cut off,

Despite everything for which I punished her.

But they rose early and corrupted all their deeds.

~~~~~~~

A Faithful Remnant

“Therefore wait for Me,” says the LORD,

“Until the day I rise up for plunder;

My determination is to gather the nations to My assembly of kingdoms,

To pour on them My indignation, All My fierce anger;

All the earth shall be devoured

With the fire of My jealousy.

“For then I will restore to the peoples a pure language,

That they all may call on the name of the LORD, to serve Him with one accord. 🕊️

🕊️ Sonship Through the Spirit

Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 

For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 

For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” 

The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. 🕊️

Thank You!

Father, I am blessed today, to be protected by You, and knowing my loved ones are protected!

We have returned from our trip and had a safe and tiring journey. 

Just as it feels good to be home, it feels great to be at my kitchen table with all my tools in front of me, my prayer time, reading and journaling is just as I am acustomed.

I simply returned to my daily routine, my morning’s fresh and wonderful time spent with You in prayer!

Father, I pray, in my coming and going today, I may shine the light You placed within me, surrounding me, to act as a beacon for others to witness the Glory of God, working in the life of a man of sin, being restored to fullness of life and free of guilt and shame. 

Father may I wear the full armor You have provided, so I may meet every challenge today with Joy and a sense of Your presence there to guide my way and bless the work of my hands, I pray, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ To Live Is Christ

For I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, according to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death. 

For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 

But if I live on in the flesh, this will mean fruit from my labor; yet what I shall choose I cannot tell. 

For I am hard-pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better. 

Nevertheless to remain in the flesh is more needful for you. 

And being confident of this, I know that I shall remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy of faith, that your rejoicing for me may be more abundant in Jesus Christ by my coming to you again. 🕊️

Philippians 1:19-26

I pray Lord, You Fill me with Your Spirit today, as I put on the Full armor of God, may I use it accordingly, blessing others who need the Loving kindness from another human being, a kind word, a brief smile, may my light be a blessing to all those I come upon today.

Father, I pray for All my children, which I now put before You, All my grandchildren and their little ones, Father, may they be safe today, may Your Spirit fill their minds with Your presence in their lives and may You guide them in the Way to become the children of the light.

Prepare my mind now Lord, for service and the leading of Your Spirit, may I shine in and through all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Plea for Purity

Finally then, brethren, we urge and exhort in the Lord Jesus that you should abound more and more, just as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God; for you know what commandments we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality; that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in passion of lust, like the Gentiles who do not know God; that no one should take advantage of and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also forewarned you and testified. 

For God did not call us to uncleanness, but in holiness. 

Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who has also given us His Holy Spirit. 🕊️

1 Thessalonians 4:1-8

Good morning Father!

Thank You for this day!

Thank You for my life!

All that I am and all I possess, they are blessings from You O Lord!

Thank You!

My Lord and my God, bless me this day, with Your Spirit, with Your full armor all about me, within me, that I might walk in the Way, and as Your child of the light, in accordance to Your Word, and through the blood of Jesus Christ, all my sin is washed away, I am a new creature in Christ, Redeemed, and Sanctified, for the work of the Lord. 

Lead me with Your Holy Spirit, O Lord, that I might be a vessel of God.

Bless All my children today Father, may they receive Your Spirit, Your Teacher, and accept the gifts You have for them, may they come to the knowledge of Your Word and walk in the Way, may they be blessed and be as Your children of the light. 

Prepare me for this day O Lord, keep us safe as we travel homeward, may our journey home be quick and may we be a blessing to others along the way, may Your light shine in us, in all we say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Then Jesus cried out and said, “He who believes in Me, believes not in Me but in Him who sent Me. And he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me. 

I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness. 

And if anyone hears My words and does not believe, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. 

He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him—the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day. 

For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak. 

And I know that His command is everlasting life. 

Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak.” 🕊️

🕊️ Marriage—Christ and the Church

Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 

For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. 

Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. 

So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. 

For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. 

“For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” 

This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 

Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband. 🕊️

🕊️ Walk in Love

Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. 

And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.

But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. 

For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. 

Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them.🕊️

Ephesians 5:1-7

Good evening Father!

Thank You for this day!

Thank You for my life!

Thank You for my sweet bride, Amy!

Thank You for my beautiful daughter, Selah!

All that I am and all I possess, they are blessings from You O Lord!

Thank You!

Father God, I pray Your Spirit of Grace fill me, renew my Faith, for the work of the higher calling in Jesus Christ!

Father, may You help me to prepare my heart and mind for the days which are ahead, may I be ready, wearing the full armor of God, may I not be ashamed, rather work all the harder to live my life as a living Hope, a sacrifice, dedicated to You, my LORD and Savior, Jesus.

Father I lift up All my children before you this evening, all my grandchildren, and their little ones, may You keep them safe as they rest and as they play, may they come to know and follow Your Way and become Your children of light, shinning in the darkness.

Thank You Father for hearing my prayers, may I shine Your light, in and through all I say, and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Walk in Unity

I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, & through all, & in you all.🕊️

Ephesians 4:1–6

Father I am with my Family today, we’ve reached Amy’s sister, Connie’s home yesterday evening, in a small community called ‘Island Park.’ 

Thank You Lord, for the safe travels and a wonderful reunion with Family. 

Thank You that we can be together creating new memories and shine our light together, in the world around us. 

I pray for a quick resolve for an engine light, which kept showing up in the dash as we drove.  

Father, may Your Spirit guide our way and shine Your light in and through all we say and do today, may we bring glory to Your Holy name, Jesus!

O Lord, I lift up All my children before You, I lift up All my grandchildren, and my great grandchildren, may Your Spirit, Your Teacher, keep them safe and may they learn of You and follow the Holy Spirit, and Walk in the Way, as Your children of the light. 

Bless our day together today Father, keep us safe, I pray, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

🕊️ The Just Live by Faith

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by Faith.”🕊️

I am traveling with my family; Amy, Selah, and Bridget, heading for Amy’s sister, Connie’s home, where we will stay until Friday. We left home yesterday at 12:30 pm and arrived in Missoula, Montana at 7:00 pm. 

During our stay, since Connie’s home is only 20-30 minutes or so from Yellowstone National Park, we will visit the park one or more of those days. Family is the most important thing for us, aside from our Faith and worshiping in church every Sunday. While we visit, we may attend church with Connie, but not sure just yet.

I have brought some of my equipment to capture new images of Montana, and use some of them for my blog.

I will spend some of my time writing in my personal journal, and record our trip and moments shared here.

** Father God, thank You for a safe journey to our hotel in Missoula, and as we continue on this morning, heading to Island Park, Idaho.

I lift up All my children before you, all my grandchildren and their little ones, may Your Spirit keep them safe today and guide them in the Way, I pray we may all be as Your children of the light, and shine Your Love, in and through all we say and do today, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!
