Jesus Needs

John 17:6

"I have manifested Your Name [I have revealed Your very Self, Your real Self] to the people whom You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours, and You gave them to Me, and they have obeyed and kept Your word."

Jesus needs us to believe Him... He needs us to live like we believe we are His, and that The Father gave us to Him... 

"What Do You Believe..." Can you meet the Need of Jesus to be believed In?

While Jesus Has You

John 17:9-12

"I am praying for them. I am not praying (requesting) for the world, but for those You have given Me, for they belong to You.

All [things that are] Mine are Yours, and all [things that are] Yours belong to Me; and I am glorified in (through) them. [They have done Me honor; in them My glory is achieved.]

And [now] I am no more in the world, but these are [still] in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, keep in Your Name [in the knowledge of Yourself] those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We [are one].

While I was with them, I kept and preserved them in Your Name [in the knowledge and worship of You]. Those You have given Me I guarded and protected, and not one of them has perished or is lost except the son of perdition [Judas Iscariot—the one who is now doomed to destruction, destined to be lost], that the Scripture might be fulfilled."

Thank You Jesus For Keeping us In You... This year and all of Eternity.

Abraham's Mission

Genesis 22:2-6

"[God] said, Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah; and offer him there as a burnt offering upon one of the mountains of which I will tell you.

So Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him and his son Isaac; and he split the wood for the burnt offering, and then began the trip to the place of which God had told him.

On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance.

And Abraham said to his servants, Settle down and stay here with the donkey, and I and the young man will go yonder and worship andcome again to you.

Then Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and laid it on [the shoulders of] Isaac his son, and he took the fire (the firepot) in his own hand, and a knife; and the two of them went on together."

Abraham's mission was to take his only son...(God Said;"Only Son,"...Abraham had Ishmael with Haggar...) 

Take his only son, put him up on an alter and kill him... 

Abraham had been made ready by God to serve Him whole heartedly, keeping nothing back, not trying to find a way out... But love God His Way...

Brute Beast

2 Peter 2:8-12

"Surrounded by moral rot day after day after day, that righteous man was in constant torment.

So God knows how to rescue the godly from evil trials. And he knows how to hold the feet of the wicked to the fire until Judgment Day.

Predators on the Prowl

God is especially incensed against these "teachers" who live by lust, addicted to a filthy existence. They despise interference from true authority, preferring to indulge in self-rule. Insolent egotists, they don't hesitate to speak evil against the most splendid of creatures. Even angels, their superiors in every way, wouldn't think of throwing their weight around like that, trying to slander others before God.

These people are nothing but brute beasts, born in the wild, predators on the prowl. In the very act of bringing down others with their ignorant blasphemies, they themselves will be brought down, losers in the end."

Have you ever had it where every day you had to go to a place you really loved, and you worked hard

Loving what you do.... And there is just one person that is eat up with moral rot? Well Peter had that in his ministry as well... He, Peter said; "God knows how to help you be rescued from such a trail, hold their feet to the fire until their day when their rot will be put of the justice scales...

God, Nation, Family And Faith

PJCoptyRomans 10:19-21

"Again I ask, Did Israel not understand? [Did the Jews have no warning that the Gospel was to go forth to the Gentiles, to all the earth?] First, there is Moses who says, I will make you jealous of those who are not a nation; with a foolish nation I will make you angry.

Then Isaiah is so bold as to say, I have been found by those who did not seek Me; I have shown (revealed) Myself to those who did not [consciously] ask for Me.

But of Israel he says, All day long I have stretched out My hands to a people unyielding and disobedient and self-willed [to a faultfinding, contrary, and contradicting people]."

In Rome at Paul's time, there were many of the Hebrew nation who accepted Christ as The Messiah, as well as many other nations who did, but the Hebrew's were still wanting; "Us Four and no more.." And Paul was reminding them of The Word, where It says God would use the non-Hebrew nations to make them jealous. 

The Lord wants us All to get together on one page... Jesus, and Him Crusified for All, and Lord over everyone and Things.

Our families are His as well to reveal His love to... As my new logo saying is; "The Cross, an anchor for our souls."

This mission is not impossible...

Want To Show You Power

1 Corinthians 2:2-6

"For I resolved to know nothing (to be acquainted with nothing, to make a display of the knowledge of nothing, and to be conscious of nothing) among you except Jesus Christ (the Messiah) and Him crucified.

And I was in (passed into a state of) weakness and fear (dread) and great trembling [after I had come] among you.

And my language and my message were not set forth in persuasive (enticing and plausible) words of wisdom, but they were in demonstration of the [Holy] Spirit and power [a proof by the Spirit and power of God, operating on me and stirring in the minds of my hearers the most holy emotions and thus persuading them],

So that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men (human philosophy), but in the power of God.

Yet when we are among the full-grown (spiritually mature Christians who are ripe in understanding), we do impart a [higher] wisdom (the knowledge of the divine plan previously hidden); but it is indeed not a wisdom of this present age or of this world nor of the leaders and rulers of this age, who are being brought to nothing and are doomed to pass away."

Paul was telling the Believer's about wanting just to know from them what they knew about Christ and what did they believe. He said I choose to show you about Jesus' love and power by demonstration. Doing this, so their faith would solely lie on Christ's abilities in them to move on the behalf of setting every captive free from either false teaching about Him, or no teaching at all about Him.
