🕊️ God’s Supreme Revelation

God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

The Son Exalted Above Angels

For to which of the angels did He ever say:

“You are My Son, today I have begotten You”?

And again:

“I will be to Him a Father, and He shall be to Me a Son”?

But when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says:

“Let all the angels of God worship Him.”

And of the angels He says:

“Who makes His angels spirits and His ministers a flame of fire.”

But to the Son He says:

“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;

A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.

You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;

Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You

With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.” 🕊️

🕊️ But to which of the angels has He ever said:

“Sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool”?

Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation? 🕊️

Hebrews 1:1-9, 13-14

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Reading HEBREWS, the first 2 chapters of the book 🕊️

During my Bible study time this morning, actually beginning yesterday around this time, I had  finished reading and studying the book of Philemon and highlighting the pieces I found to add to my Webholyman journal writings. During this time, I usually read the next 4 unread chapters, my process, is read and underline each line in the Bible chapter, then after reading the chapter, before moving on, I separate the possible story or highlights of the overall verse with different colors, but not necessarily focusing on each highlight as its writing as the main context or defining characteristic. 

I then take the verse, or verses, and copy them to a pre-publish workspace page, then add my thoughts and prayers around this day’s revelation or how it leads my thoughts and meditations I wish to share. The goal: “…is my focus on a washing of my mind and thinking by my new readings in the Word.

Well, over the last week or so, my process has begun to change. I had already read and highlighted the Words on the pages, however, like with a very fine, well cooked, rich flavored piece of meat, there was more than a mouthful to pull from for my daily blog entry, so that left me feeling stuck in moving forward, having left meat on my plate, my not wanting to waste it, and moving on to just read and highlight, then go back to use the leftovers for new blog posts, before working highlighting the new verses read and underlined. 

This creates or began an invisible block to my proceeding, I feel I absolutely cannot move on to the next verses or page in my Bible until all the meat was eaten and shared, from my plate, or used from the page and applied into my blog. There just was too much to share and glean from to waste!

Now I have begun to add more hand written thoughts in the side margins or spaces of my Bible pages, and also I find myself seeing an image I want to put on the page, like a kid with a crayon not thinking of what is being covered up, writes on the page of a book or on a wall. It’s the uncontrollable urge to leave these reminders of God’s touching me at the moment I read the verses on the pages and how they make me feel.

Now my process will change somewhat, to reading less and being more content and message-focused, before moving on. 

We’ll see how this goes, Praise God! 🕊️

Hallelujah! 

Praise the name of the Lord, “JESUS!”

Hallelujah!

Father, I lift up my thoughts and the intents or precepts of sharing and ask for Your Holy Spirit to guide me in how I share my thoughts, may they be a blessing to my readers and not be just a belting out of words and information. I feel like my 10 GB mind just received a 20 GB of data, and trying to figure out how to catalog and disseminate the blessings of what I have received. Lord, I look to You for direction and Your Spirit’s Teaching my mind how to filter through Your Word, and how to share what You would have me share each day, as it pertains to Your Word I have read, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Father, I lift up All my children before You, All my grandchildren and their little ones, may Your Holy Spirit, Your Teacher, guide them to the light today, help them navigate through their life choices and decisions today with Love and care. Bless these children, Lord! Please keep them safe, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Philemon’s Love and Faith

I thank my God, making mention of you always in my prayers, hearing of your love and faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints, that the sharing of your faith may become effective by the acknowledgment of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. 

For we have great joy and consolation in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed by you, brother.

The Plea for Onesimus

Therefore, though I might be very bold in Christ to command you what is fitting, yet for love’s sake I rather appeal to you—being such a one as Paul, the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ, I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten while in my chains, who once was unprofitable to you, but now is profitable to you and to me.

I am sending him back. 

You therefore receive him, that is, my own heart, whom I wished to keep with me, that on your behalf he might minister to me in my chains for the gospel. 

But without your consent I wanted to do nothing, that your good deed might not be by compulsion, as it were, but voluntary.

For perhaps he departed for a while for this purpose, that you might receive him forever, no longer as a slave but more than a slave—a beloved brother, especially to me but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.

Philemon’s Obedience Encouraged

If then you count me as a partner, receive him as you would me. 

But if he has wronged you or owes anything, put that on my account. 🕊️

Philemon 1:3-18

Praise God, Thank You Lord for this personal letter, may I use it to share with others, as an example of Grace, Forgiveness, and Sacrifice, may These “Words” be received by us All, as a call for each of us to “Stand Up” for others in trouble, for us all, to “Stand in the Gap”, for others when we are before God in prayer. 

Father, may Your Holy Spirit guide each one of us, where it is in Your blessing for us to do, to Stand in the Gap for others, always, especially for another person of Faith, who now walks in the Way, and following the Word, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Father, I lift up All my children before You, all my grandchildren, and their little ones, may Your angels keep watch over them and keep them safe today, may they accept Your Word, written on their hearts and minds, may they receive the gifts You have for them, and may they too learn to hold up, to Stand in the Gap for others. Bless these your children of the light, today, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Graces of the Heirs of Grace

Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work, to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men. 

For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. 

But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. 

These things are good and profitable to men.

Avoid Dissension

But avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and useless. 

Reject a divisive man after the first and second admonition, knowing that such a person is warped and sinning, being self-condemned 🕊️

Titus 3:1-11, 14

May I put on the full armor of God and may You bless me to face any and all challenges today.

Lord, I lift up All my children before You, All my grandchildren, and their little ones, may they accept and follow Your Spirit’s call, may they sense Your presence working in and around their lives, and may they live as Your children of the light today, in Jesus’ name, Amen! Hallelujah!

Praise Yahweh!

The Elders’ Task

🕊️ To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled. They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work.

Titus 1:15-16

🕊️ Qualities of a Sound Church

But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine: that the older men be sober, reverent, temperate, sound in faith, in love, in patience; the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things— that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed.

Likewise, exhort the young men to be sober-minded, in all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility, sound speech that cannot be condemned, that one who is an opponent may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of you. 🕊️

🕊️ Trained by Saving Grace

For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.

Speak these things, exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise you. 🕊️

Father, I lift up All my children before You, All my grandchildren, and their little ones, may they be filled with Your Holy Spirit today, may they sense Your presence in their lives, moving and shaking, lead them to Your light O Lord, keep them safe today, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to TITUS

🕊️ Titus, a young pastor, faces the unenviable assignment of setting in order the church at Crete. 

Paul writes advising him to appoint elders, men of proven spiritual character in their homes and businesses, to oversee the work of the church. 

But elders are not the only individuals in the church who are required to excel spiritually. Men and women, young and old, each have their vital functions to fulfill in the church if they are to be living examples of the doctrine they profess. 

Throughout his letter to Titus, Paul stresses the necessary, practical working out of salvation in the daily lives of both the elders and the congregation. 

Good works are desirable and profitable for all believers. 🕊️

🕊️ Paul, a bondservant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect and the acknowledgment of the truth which accords with godliness, in hope of eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began, but has in due time manifested His word through preaching, which was committed to me according to the commandment of God our Savior; 🕊️

Preach The WORD!

Then….…

Now…….

🕊️ All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. 🕊️

2 Timothy 3:16-17

🕊️ Preach the Word

I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: 

Preach the word! 

Be ready in season and out of season. 

Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. 

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. 

But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. 🕊️

Bless me with Your Holy Spirit Lord, Your Teacher, that I might rightly divide the Word of Truth, which I share with others, may Your Word which I write and those I speak, be clear in the minds of all who see and hear them. 

Bless this work of Faith today, may Your Holy Spirit move and minister to the needs of each mind and soul it reaches, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Father, I lift up all my children before You, all my grandchildren, and all my great grandchildren, may they find You in the darkness around them, may Your Word, light their way and guide them to You and following a life of Faith and Peace, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. 

And from such people turn away! 🕊️

🕊️ All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. 🕊️

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief. 

However, for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all longsuffering, as a pattern to those who are going to believe on Him for everlasting life. 

Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. 🕊️

1 Timothy 1:15-17

🕊️ Error and Greed

If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which accords with godliness, he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions, useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourself.

Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

The Good Confession

But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. I urge you in the sight of God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate, that you keep this commandment without spot, blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ’s appearing, which He will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen. 🕊️

🕊️ But we know that the law is good if one uses it lawfully, knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine, according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God which was committed to my trust. 🕊️

🕊️ Grace to you and Peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

🕊️ God’s Final Judgment and Glory

We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is fitting, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all abounds toward each other, so that we ourselves boast of you among the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you endure, which is manifest evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer; 🕊️

🕊️ The Great Apostasy

Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. 

Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. 🕊️

Lord, I pray, You fill me with Your Holy Spirit, that I might “Stand Fast” and sense Your presence moving and working in my life and in my calling, may You direct me today, guide my way, Teach me how to follow You my Lord, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Father, I lift up All my children before You, all my grandchildren, and their little ones, may they receive your Spirit’s call and accept the gifts You have for them, may Your Holy Spirit, Your Teacher, guide their steps and steer them through the many challenges of this life, may they remain focused and determined to follow the Way and fulfill their Sanctification in the Faith and Family of the Most High God, may they be safe today and may they shine as Your children of the light, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. 

You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. 

Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. 

For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. 

But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. 

For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.

Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.

Various Exhortations

And we urge you, brethren, to recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and admonish you, and to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. 

Be at peace among yourselves.

Now we exhort you, brethren, warn those who are unruly, comfort the fainthearted, uphold the weak, be patient with all. 

See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all.

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Do not quench the Spirit. 

Do not despise prophecies. 

Test all things; hold fast what is good. 

Abstain from every form of evil.

Blessing and Admonition

Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.

Brethren, pray for us.

Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss.

I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read to all the holy brethren.

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

Father God, I am here this morning, ready to serve!

May I wear Your full armor well this day.

Fill me with Your Holy Spirit Lord!

I see these images in my mind, of my faithful brothers, saints of the Lord, waging war against the enemy of the Way, trying to cloud the revelation of the mysteries of the Father, in Jesus Christ, in whom I am Not ashamed to say, He is my Savior, my Redeemer, and I share that blessing with all I meet, who are living in the dark, that they too may find the path to a life of Peace.

Use me Lord, as Your messenger of Hope, walking a life of Faith, may Your Holy Spirit use my postings as a path to the Word, light and Love, for all men, may Your Spirit bless my journey today, and the tasks I perform, may they be a testimony of Your completed work in me.

Father, I lift up All my children before You today, All my grandchildren, and their little ones, may Your angels keep watch over them and may they be safe today. May each one of them sense Your presence in their lives, may they willingly accept the gifts You have for them, may they follow in Your Word and in the Way, bless them O Lord this day, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Father, I pray for Peace in Israel, Ukraine, and Iran, may Your Holy Spirit open the minds and hearts of the leaders, may they hear Your voice, may they find resolve and a path for Peace, Blessings and unending spiritual direction, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Not Carnality but Christ

If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. 

Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. 

For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 

When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. 

Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience, in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them.

But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, and filthy language out of your mouth. 

Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him, where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all. 🕊️

🕊️ Character of the New Man

Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. 

But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. 

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. 

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 

And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. 🕊️

Colossians 3:1-17

Bless my day O Lord, may I walk in the newness of life, as Your child of the light, continuing on the road towards the light, forever towards the light, ever thankful and praising You O Lord Jesus, my Savior, my Redeemer, I have on the full armor of God, I have You Holy Spirit, surrounding me today, keeping me safe, my focus is on You O Lord, in and through All I say and do today, In Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Meditate on These Things

Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.

And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight— if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister. 🕊️

Philippians 4:8-9

~~~~~~~

🕊️ Sacrificial Service for Christ

I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the church, of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God which was given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God, the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints. 

To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. 

Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. 

To this end I also labor, striving according to His working which works in me mightily. 🕊️

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Their Faith in Christ

We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of your love for all the saints; because of the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel, which has come to you, as it has also in all the world, and is bringing forth fruit, as it is also among you since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth. 🕊️

🕊️ Preeminence of Christ

For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy 🕊️

🕊️ The Whole Armor of God

🕊️ 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. 🕊️

🕊️ Purpose of the Mystery

🕊️ To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, and to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ; to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places, according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him. Therefore I ask that you do not lose heart at my tribulations for you, which is your glory. 🕊️

Ephesians 3:8-13

🕊️ Appreciation of the Mystery

🕊️ Therefore I ask that you do not lose heart at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height, to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. 🕊️

Protect me from the evil one O Lord, as my focus is on You daily, may I not lose sight of the calling which You have called me, to walk in Truth and Love, towards All man.

Bless All my children this day O Lord, all my grandchildren, and their little ones, that they might be safe from all harm, may they each receive the gifts You have to offer them, may they accept the gifts and begin their journey of Faith and Family, walking in Love, with the Family of Christ our Lord and Savior, may they become Your children of light, and may their light shine bright today.

I pray Father, You might help me to complete the tasks before me this day, may I be consistent in my walk before You, in the words I speak, and in All I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ ~~~ Brought Near by His Blood

Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh—who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands— that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 

But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

🕊️ ~~~ Christ Our Peace

For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near. 

For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.

🕊️ ~~~ Christ Our Cornerstone

Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit. 🕊️

May I shine my light and the words I speak, the actions I take, as a unifying force, bringing people together, rather than separate, especially those who are not like-minded. 

Father, may I do everything with a Peaceful outcome in mind.

Lord, I pray for my own work, may I see it to completion today, may I shine the light You placed within me, in and through all I say and do today, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.

But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved) 🕊️

~~~

🕊️ For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. 

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. 🕊️

May Your Holy Spirit, Your Teacher, guide them on their path today, may You lead them to the light and Truth, may they sense Your presence working in their lives, working all things for good and may they become as Your children of the light, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Lord, bless me this day, in my research and my writings, may I come into a greater understanding of You and Truth, about myself and my humanity, may I use this revelation and share with others in my writings, may they become blessed and be encouraged to walk their own path towards Truth and Faith, believing in You O Lord. Father, may this writing I do, shine Your light, and bring You glory, in and through all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Bear and Share Burdens

Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. For each one shall bear his own load.

🕊️ Be Generous and Do Good

Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches.

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith. 🕊️

🕊️ Two Covenants

(Gen. 21:8–21; Is. 54:1)

Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law? 

For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, the other by a freewoman. 

But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and he of the freewoman through promise, which things are symbolic. 

For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar— for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children but the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all. 

For it is written:

“Rejoice, O barren,

You who do not bear!

Break forth and shout,

You who are not in labor!

For the desolate has many more children

Than she who has a husband.”

Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise. But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now. Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.” So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free. 🕊️

Galatians 4:21-31

🕊️ For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.

For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another! 

Walking in the Spirit

I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 

For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. 

Against such there is no law. 

And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 

If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 

Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another. 🕊️

Galatians 5:13-26

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

Praise the name of the Lord, “JESUS!”

My Lord and Savior, My Redeemer, Mighty God, Counselor, my Best Friend!

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, Bless me this day, in my coming and my going, may I walk in the spirit of Your heavenly Grace, towards all men, and may I experience the Love only You can give, in my interaction with others, those in my Family and those I have yet to meet for the first time.

Father Fill me Your Spirit, and may I shine today as Your child of light, in the darkness all around us.

Bless All my children O Lord, All my grandchildren and their little ones, may Your Holy Spirit, Your Teacher, reach into their hearts and draw them to Your light, may they learn Your Word, and walk in Your Way, may they become as children of light and shine today, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ For I through the law died to the law that I might live to God. 

I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. 

I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain.” 🕊️

Galatians 2:19-21

🕊️ But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. 

But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed. 

Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by Faith. 

But after Faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.

Sons and Heirs

For you are all sons of God through Faith in Christ Jesus. 

For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 

And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. 🕊️

Jesus, Lord, I am blessed today to say, by Faith, in Believing, on the name of Jesus Christ, I have become a member of the Family in the household of Faith, sealed for redemption and the promise of eternal life, in Christ!

Thank You Father, that as I lift up All my children before You, All my grandchildren and their little ones, You hear my request and they too become members of the household of Faith. They are all sanctified by my Faith and Believing in Jesus Christ. 

So Lord, I pray for safety for my children, may Your Spirit, Your Teacher, guide each one of them, according to the gifts and Grace You have bestowed upon each one. 

Thank You Lord, again, and may Your light within me shine bright for all those still living in the darkness, that they may find the light and the path to the Way, and Believe, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
