“Embrace To Love”


Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13
And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done. Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keeps the sayings of the prophecy of this book. And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.
Revelation 22:1-8
Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength. Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. Psalm 29:1-2

“The Lord’s Covenant with David and Israel’s Afflictions.”


Psalms 88 and 89 are extreme prayers. Together they form a provocative sequence to bring Book III to a sober and unsettling end. Psalm 88 is a deeply personal lament on death and dying and Psalm 89 is a passionate public lament on God’s covenant love and the future of faithfulness. Psalm 89 – The Incomparable God and His Covenant to David. The title of this Psalm is, A Contemplation of Ethan the Ezrahite. There are several men named Ethan in the Hebrew Scriptures, but this man is mentioned specifically in 1 Kings 4:30-31 And Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt. For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all nations round about. As someone who was famous for his wisdom yet surpassed by Solomon’s greater wisdom. If Friedrich Nietzsche had considered these psalms he might have thought twice about his charge. The important promise is that someone from David’s family would always be king. Ethan wrote Psalm 89 many years after this. He called it a *maskil, a psalm that teaches us something. In the psalm, Ethan sings about a problem. God had promised that there would always be a king in David’s family.
Psalm Chapter 89:1-52
I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations. For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens. I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant, Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah. And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints. For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD? God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him. O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee? Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them. Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm. The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them. The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name. Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand. Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face. Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance. In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted. For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favor our horn shall be exalted. For the LORD is our defense; and the Holy One of Israel is our king. Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people. I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him: With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him. The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him. And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him. But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted. I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers. He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation. Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth. My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him. His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven. If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments; If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments; Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail. My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David. His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me. It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah. But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed. Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground. Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin. All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbor’s. Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice. Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle. Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground. The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah. How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire? Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain? What man is he that lives, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah. Lord, where are thy former loving kindnesses, which thou swears unto David in thy truth? Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people; Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed. Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.

Father God, I thank You and praise You that no matter where we are in this life. You stand steadfast with us, teaching and guiding us in the right direction. You depend on us to walk right. When we don’t walk right in our choices we stand dead to sin. Thank You that You give grace and mercy and are a forgiving Father that guide others in our life to let us adhere to You and not our guilt and shame. I thank You and praise You that You give us eternal life even though we can’t earn the grace nor deserve it. Thank You that we can always depend and call on You always. I thank You, praise You and give You all the glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

“Be Patient! Even If It Is Hard”

Good morning. Wow! We was at the store yesterday waiting in line to self check out. We walk up to the register to see money coming out of the machine. I grabbed it quick and ran to the man and left it and gave it to him. He thanked me. But as I ran to him I heard this woman yelled! What does she think she is doing? What ever else she said! But it didn’t bother me. So I started thinking when I got in the car riding home. Isn’t that just like people. You live in a big house and everyone thinks. Wow they are rich. Not knowing all the debt that comes with it to make you work harder. We live in a society that thinks big. But if you are in a small house. People think this person has it hard. I say the person who is patient in listening to the little stuff and doing the big stuff matter. Some people thou need common sense in their life. Like instead of judging when a grown man accidently throws the ball over the fence and the people call the police to condemn that man and get him for trespassing. Get to know the person. But if a child throws a ball over the fence the people don’t call the police for trespassing they let the child get the ball. We live in a society that is uncertain. Don’t know one day from the other what is going to happen. But those people who are honorable to God, don’t have to worry. They just have to be patient and not care what this world judges. We have this Indian Bean tree that we had cut down. {Genus Catalpa are deciduous trees of spreading habit, with handsome, large leaves and erect panicles of showy, bell-shaped flowers in late summer, followed by persistent, slender bean-like seed capsules Details C. bignonioides is a spreading medium-sized deciduous tree, with pale green, broad-ovate leaves to 25cm in length.} Well it was so old. That within the past 2 years the big branch’s at different times split right in half and ended up in the neighbors yard so we had to saw the pieces to get it off their property. No one called the police. Well a month ago we paid good money to cut down a few huge trees that died from the winter freeze. So when the tree men was cutting down the Indian tree a branch fell in the yard, but the gate came off the hinges. and the lady next door yelled at them cause they went in her yard just to get the gate back on and she screamed at them like she was being harmed in some way. I told them not to worry. I waited till I saw her leave and me and my son put the gate back on it hinges. I just had to be patient. Well anyways. God is good cause the Indian tree is growing back. Lo! I am going to try and make baby’s trees and put them in plant pots. being patient always pays off. Love your neighbor can sometimes be hard. It is not hard to be patient. God grows all good things in His timing.
James 5:7-20
Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waits for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draws nigh. Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge stands before the door. Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience. Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy. But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation. Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availed much. Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit. Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; Let him know, that he which covers the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
I waited Patiently for God to help me: then He listened and heard my cry. Psalm 40:1

“A Petition to be Saved From Death”

It is described Psalm for the sons of Korah, a prayer for mercy and deliverance, and a Maschil. According to Martin Marty, a professor of church history at the University of Chicago, Psalm 88 is “a wintry landscape of unrelieved bleakness”. Psalm 88 ends by saying: You have taken my companions and loved ones from me; Chapter 88 This psalm is a lamentation, one of the most melancholy of all the psalms; and it does not conclude, as usually the melancholy psalms do, with the least intimation of comfort or joy, but, from first to last, it is mourning and woe. However, the hope this Psalm offers is not in its ending, but in its beginning. “ LORD, you are the God who saves me; day and night I cry out to you .” ( Psalm 88:1 NIV) Before his laundry list of everything that’s going wrong, the Psalmist acknowledges that there is hope for salvation in the Lord, even when God appears silent.
Psalm Chapter 88:1-18
O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee: Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry; For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draws nigh unto the grave. I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength: Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou remembers no more: and they are cut off from thy hand. Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps. Thy wrath lie’s hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah. Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth. Mine eye mourns by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee. Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah. Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction? Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness. But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee. LORD, why casts thou off my soul? why hides thou thy face from me? I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted. Thy fierce wrath goes over me; thy terrors have cut me off. They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together. Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.
Father God, I am believing for those who feel like giving up on you because of their choices or others choices, let them know that no weapon formed against them shall prosper Isaiah 54:17 I believe. Let them know what choices belongs to them are their own and those choices that belongs to others, belong to others. Let them realize You are for them and not against them and that you will bring everything to light in Your timing. Let them believe in You and trust that everything will work out for Your glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

“One Way! No Other Way!”


In Marriage there is only one way to keep it sacred. I, (Name), take you, (Name), to be my wife/husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, Till Death Us Do Part. In a true relationship these vows are binding. Two people truly love each other they will stay in a relationship that can not be broken. But sometimes those two people get caught up in Satan’s trap and move on to what they think are better voyages, only to find out they moved into never ever seaweed. Never ever finding that right one or that right relationship. They linger in a world they never asked for. Isn’t this the way with God. He created us only to find out He is waiting. Waiting on us to realize He is right here with us all along. God is just been waiting on you and me. I mean He has all the time in the world to wait. So what are you waiting for.
In Galatians 1:1 It reads from Paul: an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)
God loved us so much that He walked the earth with us. This is why marriage is so important. God never meant for man to be alone. In Galatians 1:4-5 it reads: Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Isn’t this where to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, Till Death Us Do Part comes in to play whereas God created us for a relationship. To wait, to pray to action in our relationships and not to move ahead of Him.
I took these oyster shells and boiled them without the oysters in them. I boiled them overnight in bleach and water on a low heat cause they was so dirty. I had to wait for them to be cleaned. Then I brushed and washed them with soap and a brush. Rinsed them off and dried them. Set them on watercolor paper. Then waited for them to fully dry. Then I varnished them. They look good as new.
This is what Jesus Christ did for us. Amen

In Galatians 1:6-8 it reads: I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
This is like this dirty shell before it became clean. Others will drag you into filthiness, where you become just so discussed, you want to give up. Don’t give up! Move into God mode and take that one step that is going to change the rest of your life for the best you, that you can be!
In Proverbs 3:33 it reads: The curse of God is on the wicked, but His blessing is on the upright. Amen!
Lord Jesus forgive me of my sins, Come into my heart, Lord Jesus, and be my Savior forever! In Your Precious Name Amen.
If you have prayed this prayer in sincere faith, you may want to put your initials by the prayer along with today’s date as a reminder that you have come to Christ in faith, trusting him as your Lord and Savior. blot out my transgressions. and cleanse me from my sin.

“The Privilege’s of Citizenship in Zion”

A Psalm [or] Song for the sons of Korah. Psalm 87: This Song of Zion speaks prophetically of the time when Zion really will be the center of the universal kingdom of the Messiah. Zion is God’s elect city (verses 1-3), a place where even the Gentiles are gathered (verses 4-6), and the source of new life in God’s kingdom (verse 7).

PSALM 87:1-7
His foundation is in the holy mountains. The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah. I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there. And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her. The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah. As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.
{Prayer}
Father God, thank You and praise You that You are my rock of strength in all that I do and say. Thank You that Your foundation is solid. Thank You of the song of Zion on the hill of Jerusalem on which the city of David was built. I thank You, praise You and give You all the glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

“A Psalm Of Supplication and Trust”


The*psalmist did not use his own words. He used the words of David! He also used words that Moses wrote in the Book of Exodus. He took some bits from Psalms 25-28, some pieces from Psalms 54-58 and some from other psalms and other parts of the Bible. Psalm 86 is the earnest, heartfelt cry of a man of God in a desperate situation laying hold of the God whom he knew well. The psalm is peppered with 15 requests, some of them repetitive, fired at God with a strong sense of urgency. It falls into four sections: In 86:1-7, David cries out in great need for God to hear and act on his behalf.
Psalm 86:1-17
Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy. Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee. Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily. Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications. In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me. Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works. All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name. For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone. Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name. I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore. For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell. O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them. But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth. O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid. Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast helped me, and comforted me.

Father God, I thank You and praise You that I am a part of the body of Christ. Sometimes I suffer because of others who do not have a clue. But I know if I give this to You You will work it for my good. I thank You for all those who have been the light of Jesus in my life. Bless them today and always. +There is no one like You and I thank You, praise and worship You for Your love towards me. Help me to tear down any false god or foolish idol that I have created at times without even realizing. Thank You for this powerful mind that can pick up on it before it goes wrong. You alone are worthy of my worship, praise, and thanksgiving, and I pray that the rest of my life may be set aside completely for You, in willing obedience and humble devotion for Your praise, honor and glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

“Love God More and More! Amen!”

My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

“God Gives Blessings For Good”

The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed. Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away. Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand. The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son. Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen. 1 PETER 5:1-14

“Prayer for God’s Mercy Upon the Nation”

For the choir director. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.
Psalm 85 teaches us to anticipate the restoration of Shalom. Shalom is more than the absence of war. Shalom is aware that really has no equal but it is a wholeness, a completion, is life as it is meant to be lived. Even as the psalmist anticipated restoration we anticipate that restoration of {shalom: used as salutation by Jews at meeting or parting, meaning “peace.”} through Jesus Christ. What Psalm 85 means. “The sons of *Korah” was the name of a music group. In Psalm 85, there is one word that comes 5 times. It is “turn” or “turned”. Each time it means something a bit different: “turned the fortunes”, verse 1, is a *Hebrew way to say “changed things from bad to good, or good to bad”. Psalm 85 is the 85th psalm from the Book of Psalms, composed by sons of Korah . Who are the authors of the Book of Psalms? Authorship. There have been many authors that have contributed to the Book of Psalms as they were put together during Biblical times from the time of Moses to the Babylonian Exile. Known authors are King David, Asaph and his family, The sons of Korah, King Solomon, Moses, and Heman and Ethan the Ezrahites.
Psalm Chapter 85:1-13
Lord, thou hast been favorable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob. Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah. Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger. Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease. Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations? Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee? Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation. I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly. Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land. Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other. Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven. Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase. Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.
Father God, I thank You and praise You for the wisdom and encouragement we receive from the different psalmists and thank You that a day is coming when Israel will be restored as Your special people, Your promises to them, That the wars will stop and to the Church, will all be fulfilled. I thank You and praise You that Jesus is coming to rule and reign on earth and that mercy and truth will be united, and righteousness and peace will kiss one another. I love You, Thank You, praise You and give You all the glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
