🕊️ The Peril of Not Progressing

Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. 

And this we will do if God permits.

For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.

For the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it, and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated, receives blessing from God; but if it bears thorns and briers, it is rejected and near to being cursed, whose end is to be burned. 🕊️

Bless my day today Lord, may I walk with Your full armor, to meet the challenges and everything I come across today, may Your Spirit, forever guide my eyes and heart towards Love and God’s desire for my life, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Qualifications for High Priesthood

For every high priest taken from among men is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins. 

He can have compassion on those who are ignorant and going astray, since he himself is also subject to weakness. 

Because of this he is required as for the people, so also for himself, to offer sacrifices for sins. 

And no man takes this honor to himself, but he who is called by God, just as Aaron was.

A Priest Forever

So also Christ did not glorify Himself to become High Priest, but it was He who said to Him:

“You are My Son,

Today I have begotten You.”

As He also says in another place:

“You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek”;

who, in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications, with vehement cries and tears to Him who was able to save Him from death, and was heard because of His godly fear, though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered. 

And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him, called by God as High Priest “according to the order of Melchizedek,” of whom we have much to say, and hard to explain, since you have become dullI of hearing.

Spiritual Immaturity

For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food. 

For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. 

But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. 🕊️

Father, You have blessed me this day and wearing the full armor of God, You have prepared me for my day, to meet all of life’s challenges, and You have filled me with Your Spirit today, to be Your Loving example of a believer, a man of Faith, which can be easily seen in me, in and through all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

I lift up All my children before You Father, may Your angels keep watch over them and protect them from all harm, may they each sense your presence, working and moving in their lives, may they hear and know, in their mind and hearts, the gift of Grace, Mercy, and Peace You have for all who believe.

Father, I pray Your Holy Spirit, Your Teacher, bring them up in Your Word, and may they follow in Your Way this day, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Lord, bless my day, may I shine as Your child of the light and bring You glory, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ The Promise of Rest

Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it. 

For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it. 🕊️

🕊️ The Word Discovers Our Condition

Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience. 

For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 

And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

Our Compassionate High Priest

Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 

For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. 

Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. 🕊️

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Be Faithful

Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says:

“Today, if you will hear His voice, do NOT harden your hearts as in the rebellion,

In the day of trial in the wilderness,

Where your fathers tested Me, tried Me,

And saw My works forty years.

Therefore I was angry with that generation,

And said, ‘They always go astray in their heart, and they have not known My ways.’

So I swore in My wrath, they shall not enter My rest.’ ”

Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; but exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 

For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end, while it is said:

“Today, if you will hear His voice,

Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”

Failure of the Wilderness Wanderers

For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt, led by Moses? Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness? And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey? So we see that they could not enter in 

because of unbelief. 🕊️

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ Do Not Neglect Salvation

Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away. 

For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward, how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him, God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will?

The Son Made Lower than Angels

For He has not put the world to come, of which we speak, in subjection to angels. 

But one testified in a certain place, saying:

“What is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You take care of him?

You have made him a little lower than the angels;

You have crowned him with glory and honor, and set him over the works of Your hands.

You have put all things in subjection under his feet.”

For in that He put all in subjection under him, He left nothing that is not put under him. But now we do not yet see all things put under him. 

But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone.

Bringing Many Sons to Glory

For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. 

For both He who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren, saying:

“I will declare Your name to My brethren;

In the midst of the assembly I will sing praise to You.”

And again:

“I will put My trust in Him.”

And again:

“Here am I and the children whom God has given Me.”

Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 

For indeed He does not give aid to angels, but He does give aid to the seed of Abraham. Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. 

For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted. 🕊️

🕊️ 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? 🕊️

🕊️ 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!”

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

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!

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. 🕊️

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 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!

🕊️ 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. 🕊️

2 Timothy 3:1-5, 3:16-17

Hallelujah! 

Praise the name of the Lord, “JESUS!”

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

Good morning Lord!

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!

Hallelujah!

Father God, I pray Your Holy Spirit fill me today, may I be clothed in the full armor of God, and Your Spirit lead me and guide my steps, may I not be ashamed for the gospel I share with others and my testimony of my walk with Jesus Christ, may I shine Your light, as Your child of the light, in and through all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Father, I lift up All my children before You, All my grandchildren, and their little ones, may Your Holy Spirit, watch over them and keep them safe, may they sense Your presence in their lives and accept the gifts You have for them to receive, may Your Spirit teach them on their journey towards the light, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

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. 🕊️

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ 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. 🕊️

Father, I praise You and Your Holy name, Yahweh!

Of the many thanks I could offer You, this one special blessing I celebrate daily, that You count me worthy of my calling, to bear the name of the Lord Jesus on my lips, and in my heart and soul, “…because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth, to which He called you by our gospel…”

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. 🕊️

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!

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. 🕊️

O Lord, I lift up Jan before You today, may she be healed and the wounds disappear, may she sense Your presence within her now, this hour, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Father, I also lift up All my children, my grandchildren, and their little ones, may Your Holy Spirit, Your Teacher, guide their path to the light and reveal the Way and give them a hunger for Your Word, that they may Stand, in the Unity of Your Spirit, alongside other people of Faith, together knowing their lives are not their own, but they are Yours O Lord, bless them and keep them Father, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!

🕊️ 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, and through all, & in you all🕊️

Ephesians 4:1-6

🕊️ 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. 🕊️

Ephesians 3:13-21

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!

Lord, I pray You fill me with Your Spirit this day, as you have from the time I first received You in my mind, heart, and soul, that I might walk according to the Way, following Your Word, and blessed with the Hope of eternal life with You and all the saints who walked the same path before me. 

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. 🕊️

Father, I pray for Your blessing over me this day, may Your Holy Spirit, Your Teacher, guide my thoughts, in rightly dividing Your Word of Truth, and sharing of Your Word in context, without ordinances or precepts, rather in a manner for the edification of others desiring to follow Your Word and Your Way. 

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.

Bless All my children today Father, All my grandchildren, and their little ones, may they be safe in their coming and going, may Your Holy Spirit, Your Teacher, draw them near to You, may Your Word dwell in their hearts and minds, that they may sense Your presence in their lives and it help direct their steps today. 

O Lord, Jesus, I pray for Healing and recovery to those who are sick and suffering, may they be comforted by You and may You fill them with Hope, strength, and longsuffering, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Father, I pray for Peace in the World around me, Peace in Israel, and an end to war with Iran, and improved relations with all their neighbors, may there be Peace with Russia, and with all others who think and believe differently, may there be found one common goal and grounds to work together, may Your Holy Spirit be present.

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!
