Fear Not

Luke 12: 32

 

 

Luke

So don't be afraid, little flock.  For it gives your Father great happiness to give you the Kingdom.

Thoughts....

 

 

Our guest speaker today is Jesus.  This is what he has to say....

"So I tell you, don't worry about everyday life - whether you have enough food to eat or clothes to wear   For life consists of far more than food and clothing.  Look at the ravens.  They don't need to plant or harvest or put food in barns because God feeds them.  And you are far more valuable to him than any birds!  Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?  Of course not!  And if worry can't do little things like that, what's the use of worrying over bigger things?

"Look at the lilies and how they grow.  They don't work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are.  And if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and gone tomorrow, won't he more surely care for you?  You have so little faith!  And don't worry about food - what to eat and drink.  Don't worry whether God will provide for you.  These things dominate the thoughts of most people, but your Father already knows your needs.  He will give you all you need from day to day if you make the Kingdom of God your primary concern.

"So don't be afraid little flock.  For it gives your Father great happiness to give you the Kingdom.

"Sell what you have and give to those in need.  This will store up treasure for you in heaven!  And the purses of heaven have no holes in them.  Your treasure will be safe - no thief can steal it and no moth can destroy it.  Wherever your treasure is, there your heart and thoughts will also be."   Luke 12:22-34

Thank you, Jesus, for taking time out of your day to spend time with us, teach us, help us grow....and heal.  And get to know you better.

Let Us Pray

 

 

God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, in the critical life state the world is in, it is hard to not worry about what is next for each of us, whether we will have a roof over our head, food in our stomachs and that of our loved ones, and proper medical care, jobs.  Oh, that we could get to a point of trusting you more.  But then, I guess, we would have to know you.  Today my prayer is that all the people of the world will come together in prayer seeking you, to know you, and better.  As the song of old goes, 'see thee more clearly, love thee more dearly, follow thee more nearly, day by day'.  The world pandemic and it's far reaching effects beyond medical to economic, financial, mental, emotional, more, is bringing everyone....almost....to their knees in prayer to you.  Oh, that we would have come sooner rather than later. Father God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, please have mercy on us.  Let your healing rain flow over us.  Embrace us with all the fullness of your love,  Help us to love you that much back.  May we all open the church within to worship you with a full embrace.  And get back to things that really matter, which are not things at all....but you, and relationship living instead of gathering merely for the enhancement of monetary goals and wants, rather than needs that should be met.  The first need being a relationship with you, and then with others around us.  We've been a selfish, hurting world, painfully learning that now.  Please forgive us....please forgive us.  Thank you.  May we all praise you.  May we all thank you,  May we all get to loving you again, or anew.   Major hug to you.  Amen

Healing Rain

Healing rain is coming down
It's coming nearer to this old town.
Rich and poor, weak and strong
It's bringing mercy, it won't be long.

Healing rain is coming down
It's coming closer to the lost and found.
Tears of joy and tears of shame
Are washed forever in Jesus' name.

Healing rain, it comes with fire
So let it fall and take us higher.
Healing rain, I'm not afraid
To be washed in Heaven's rain.

Lift your heads, let us return
To the mercy seat where time began.
And in your eyes I see the pain.
Come soak this dry heart with healing rain.
And only you, the Son of Man
Can take a leper and let him stand.
So lift your hands, they can be held
By someone greater, the Great I Am.

Healing rain, it comes with fire
So let it fall and take us higher.
Healing rain, I'm not afraid
To be washed in Heaven's rain.
To be washed in Heaven's rain.

Healing rain is falling down,
Healing rain is falling down,
I'm not afraid.
I'm not afraid.

Healing rain is falling down,
Healing rain is falling down,
I'm not afraid.
I'm not afraid.

Healing rain is falling down,
Healing rain is falling down,
I'm not afraid.
I'm not afraid.

Healing rain is falling down,
Healing rain is falling down,
I'm not afraid.
I'm not afraid.

Healing rain is falling down,
Healing rain is falling down,
I'm not afraid.
I'm not afraid.

Let us hear from Paul as he prays:  

When I think of the wisdom and scope of God's plan, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth.  I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will give you mighty inner strength through his Holy Spirit.  And I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts as you trust in him.  May your roots go down deep into the soil of God's marvelous love.  And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love really is.  May you experience the love of Christ, though it is so great you will never fully understand it.  Then you will be filled with the fullness of life and power that comes from God.

Now glory be to God!  By his mighty power at work within us, he is able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope.  May he be given glory in the church and in Christ Jesus forever and ever through endless ages.  Amen.  Ephesians 3:14-21 NLT

  Our Continual Cause

 

 

It is time to reach into the community and the world around you to see wherein lies the greatest need.  As you choose to focus on these areas, do so with a servant's heart.  Whether the need is for children, adults, animals, the earth, or any cause in between that will help those in need, ask God how you can best serve his needs, what path you must take, and how long you should persevere.  Sometimes we are to be in the lives of others merely as stepping stones.  Sometimes we are to touch those lives forever.  Whatever journey you are called to take, whatever team you will be a member, know this:  God is with you always...even til the end of time.  He loves you, is grateful for you, and will help you along life's way, especially if you are helping others along theirs, persevering with a servant's heart.  

    

Please accept my sincerest thanks....and God's....and may God richly bless you !

Jesus' Prayer of Thanksgiving

'The Unforced Rhythms of Grace'

 

 

"Abruptly Jesus broke into prayer:  "Thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth.  You've concealed your ways from sophisticates and know-it-alls, but spelled them out clearly to ordinary people.  Yes, Father, that's the way you like to work."

Jesus resumed talking to the people, but now tenderly.  "The Father has given me all these things to do and say.  This is a unique Father - Son operation, coming out of Father and Son intimacies and knowledge.  No one knows the Son the way the Father does, nor the Father the way the Son does.  But I'm not keeping it to myself; I'm ready to go over it line by line with anyone willing to listen."

"Are you tired?  Worn out?  Burned out on religion?  Come to me.  Get away with me and you'll recover your life.  I'll show you how to take a real rest.  Walk with me and work with me - watch how I do it.  Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.  I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn how to live freely and lightly.

 

Matthew 11:  25-30

  The Message

 

And the people said,

"Amen."

I now write most prayers in the position of ' I ' (first person) because most people are sitting at their computer alone, not in groups, and it allows those reading and praying to personalize the prayer as coming from them going to God.  Variations may appear on holidays when families may wish to use the prayer provided.  I encourage you to pray your own prayers as well.

NOTE:  I said it long ago, but let me say it again.  If you are wanting to lead a group, start a church, or are confined in an institution, or live in a country where the Gospel is not preached, and you don't know what to say or how to say it, and yet feel led to share, teach, or preach, besides just reading straight out of the Bible and sharing what God puts on your heart, please feel free to share any or all of what I've written, if it will help you, as long as you include where it comes from, due to copyright laws.  Jesus gave God's love and healing freely, as well as his message.  Our responsibility is to get the Word out to those who need to hear it.  If what I've written....by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit....or what he has said through me....has helped you, it may help others that you know.  You are welcome to share it.  God calls all of us to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the world.  Please share it with the fullness of love that God, Jesus, Holy Spirit....and I....have given it.  Amen!
