Praise human preferred over Godly glory

Although he had performed so many signs in their presence they did not believe in him, in order that the word which Isaiah the prophet spoke might be fulfilled:
“Lord, who has believed our preaching, to whom has the might of the Lord been revealed?” For this reason they could not believe, because again Isaiah said: “He blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, so that they might not see with their eyes and understand with their heart and be converted, and I would heal them.”

Isaiah said this because he saw his glory and spoke about him. Nevertheless, many, even among the authorities, believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not acknowledge it openly in order not to be expelled from the synagogue. For they preferred human praise to the glory of God. John 12:37-43

John 12:37-43

Seeking the praise of human desires avoids God’s glory wanting a life of self purposely blinding their eyes and shutting their heart hardened by the life of the world. God most assuredly placed a plan into action for humanity acknowledging that many would deny or even try and understand the healing Jesus represents in the ones like me and you who are converted.

Jesus refers to Prophets of Old to aid in his poise of all things the human race will admit or deny His trace.We will always think the praise of others will be something special we seek from the different instances of charity yet the things that I believe are so important for us to live as a light of Christ is to remind people the glory of God outweighs the praises human. Self-seeking praises can come in so many different ways where financial gain is as much the culprit as the desire to be patted on the back. What feels good in Charity is the Christ we share as praise and worship. Amen.

Join us in our daily prayer of forgiveness. I am sorry Lord. I believe You died and Rose for me. Prayers for all who have asked us to pray for them or we said we’d pray for. Prayers for JSRW. IN Jesus Name. Amen.

Praise human preferred over Godly glory

Him believed not though signs many performed
Fulfilling prophet Isaiah’s prediction
Revealed Lord who preaching believed misinformed
Reason believe not interdiction

Saying Isaiah eyes blinded heart hardened
Eyes see not conversion heart thwarted
Them heal Jesus would be the heart retardant
He spoke Christ glory seen Messiah supported

Him believe by authorities many
Acknowledge not by Pharisees story
Synagogue expelled openly acknowledge Him any
Praise human preferred over Godly glory

Death no one could see

“When I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to myself.” He said this indicating the kind of death he would die. So the crowd answered him, “We have heard from the law that the Messiah remains forever. Then how can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?” Jesus said to them, “The light will be among you only a little while. Walk while you have the light, so that darkness may not overcome you. Whoever walks in the dark does not know where he is going. While you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become children of the light.” John 12:32-36

Yours are the heavens, yours the earth; You founded the world and everything in it. Psalm 89:12

My brothers, children of the family of Abraham, and those others among you who are God-fearing, to us this Word of Salvation has been sent. Acts 13:26

John 12:32-36, Psalm 89 & Acts 13:26

They wanted to believe just like we do that what is promised by God by believing in His Son Christ Jesus. But why do we always draw ourselves back to the darkness overcome by selfish wants mostly seen in others success as something we all must obtain. God wants you to be successful in him and everything else will fall into place for living God First is guaranteed to bring you love, faith and hope charity; Jesus!

When you begin combining your life with everything godly, you simply look to practice what God asks us to Live in the Word of God each and every day. After a while you will begin as many of us do to understand the longevity of living in Christ comes from this very simple daily love of being one with God. Your prayer life becomes a part of who you are and the way you speak asking God constantly to look over you and your family and those that are around us as we remember to lift up those who deny the right to live Life Eternal by offering peace as the purpose of living Redeemed. To us this Word of Salvation has been sent. Amen.

Join us in our daily prayer of forgiveness. I am sorry Lord. I believe You died and Rose for me. Prayers for all who have asked us to pray for them or we said we’d pray for. Prayers for JSRW. IN Jesus Name. Amen.

Forever remains Messiah

Man’s son who
Uplifted why all would agree

Time flight light
Jesus replied though they disagree
Light overcomes darkness
Know not dark walked guarantee

Light belief suffices
Child of God you become
Darkness is divisive
Unbelief you will enjoy overcome

Name Yours Exalt Father

“Father, glorify your name.” Then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it and will glorify it again.” The crowd there heard it and said it was thunder; but others said, “An angel has spoken to him.” Jesus answered and said, “This voice did not come for my sake but for yours. Now is the time of judgment on this world; now the ruler of this world will be driven out. John 12:28-31
May God bless us still; that the ends of the earth may revere him. Ps 67:8

The Word of God continued to spread and grow. Acts 12:24

John 12:28-31, Psalm 67 & Acts 12:24

If you’ve ever heard the voice of God tell you to get up and do something, then you felt his grace for the Sake of Salvation. What many heard that day being revealed they thought as angels speaking on his behalf was truly the Father making known the Name and His support and ability obviously to take Jesus up and save him as much as allow him to be killed for the sake of mankind. The ruler of the world simply steals your soul and instructs you of the rewards of self-pleasure pilfering the life God gives as measure.

When you begin to revere him, you find that glorifying him as the daily desire to sharing Salvation. We begin to want and understand the joys of Christ as the beginnings of cultivating the Word of God and spreading it to those who need it most. What God did for the Sake of those standing around Jesus that day did for the sake of the world for all eternity and giving off the pleasures of living Redeemed. Listen to Him. Glorify. Amen.

Join us in our daily prayer of forgiveness. I am sorry Lord. I believe You died and Rose for me. Prayers for all who have asked us to pray for them or we said we’d pray for. Prayers for JSRW. IN Jesus Name. Amen.

Troubled death purpose He maintains

Amen, amen, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much fruit. Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there also will my servant be. The Father will honor whoever serves me. “I am troubled now. Yet what should I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? But it was for this purpose that I came to this hour. John 12:24-27

So I thrust them away to the hardness of their heart; ‘Let them walk in their own machinations.’ Psalm 81:13

The hand of the Lord was with them and a great number who believed turned to the Lord. Acts 11:21

John 12:24-27, Psalm 81 & Acts 11:21

The deaths of too much too soon can take over your entire life truly making all of the necessary elements of nutrition being ignored in a right we feel we must live a life no matter the strife or spite we may give. Truly Jesus is asking us to understand that a surrender requires us to fall to our knees and die to self causing a liberty by sharing the Word of God each day no matter the example no matter the disarray of others.

There is an honor that you will feel and ponder in your soul that no one will ever be able to take away from you. You can see Jesus in every aspect of the life that you create around the obedience of serving the least as he has commanded us thrusting hardness of heart into a life-giving beat where the flow of blood will have less pressure on the walls of capillaries release. Turning to the Lord seems hard for many recognized by practice, prayer and proclamation of love, faith and hope of Charity; Jesus! He is the only way to find forgiveness the Only Way to Heaven’s grace. Amen.

Join us in our daily prayer of forgiveness. I am sorry Lord. I believe You died and Rose for me. Prayers for all who have asked us to pray for them or we said we’d pray for. Prayers for JSRW. IN Jesus Name. Amen.

Now there were some Greeks among those who had come up to worship at the feast. They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, “Sir, we would like to see Jesus.” Philip went and told Andrew; then Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus. Jesus answered them, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.” John 12:20-23
Why are you downcast, my soul, why do you groan within me? Wait for God, for I shall again praise him, my savior and my God. Psalm 42:12

As I began to speak, the holy Spirit fell upon them as it had upon us at the beginning, and I remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said, ‘John baptized with water but you will be baptized with the holy Spirit.’
Acts 11:15-16

John 12:20-23, Psalm 42 & Acts 11:15-16

The glorification hour has come for the Son of Man as the Greeks begin to ask of his anointing rectifying the world and the sins of humanity. God never told us that life would be a bag of popcorn always fresh never cold. No. God reminds us you will have times of depression, detriments and disease that comes upon you in groans yet received by God as calls of growth no matter the will no matter the lifespan granted by grace.

God wants us to keep praising him and his son allowing the groans to turn into chanting beautiful music as much as dance to celebrate the splendor of Salvation. Once you begin to live Redeemed, the Holy Spirit will fall upon you just by taking daily moments to practice the Word of God allowing others to see the Spirit so Holy guiding you to others who need your smile, your calm and your confidence to live life in peace. Amen.

Join us in our daily prayer of forgiveness. I am sorry Lord. I believe You died and Rose for me. Prayers for all who have asked us to pray for them or we said we’d pray for. Prayers for JSRW. IN Jesus Name. Amen.

Betrayer Iscariot doubted fragrance used right

Then Judas the Iscariot, one [of] his disciples, and the one who would betray him, said, “Why was this oil not sold for three hundred days’ wages and given to the poor?” He said this not because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief and held the money bag and used to steal the contributions. So Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Let her keep this for the day of my burial. You always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me.” [The] large crowd of the Jews found out that he was there and came, not only because of Jesus, but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. And the chief priests plotted to kill Lazarus too,11because many of the Jews were turning away and believing in Jesus because of him. John 12:4-11

All the earth falls in worship before you; they sing of you, sing of your name! Psalm 66:4
In (his) humiliation justice was denied him. Who will tell of his posterity? For his life is taken from the earth. Acts 8:33 ref Is. 53:8

John 12:4-11, Psalm 66 & Acts 8:33 ref Is. 53:8

There’re so many aspects to Jesus’s ministry we’re each and every disciple had a garlic given purpose to facilitate the will of our father. God’s will is different for each and everyone of us as we are reminded today of Judas the Iscariot labeled as “the one who would betray him.” God has us doing his will by the practice of reading his Bible each and every day.

I know that it’s difficult to commit to something that is new or as many may claim boring. Finding your place finding your place in the will of God will take you to destinations unknown by simply living in prayer talking to God and seasonally allowing him every opportunity to share his new song with you. All the things Jesus was denied allowed us to cover humanities sin eternally. Amen.

Oil perfume costly nard

Six days before Passover Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. They gave a dinner for him there, and Martha served, while Lazarus was one of those reclining at table with him. Mary took a liter of costly perfumed oil made from genuine aromatic nard and anointed the feet of Jesus and dried them with her hair; the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil. John 12:1-3

I called to him with my mouth; praise was upon my tongue. Had I cherished evil in my heart, the Lord would not have heard. Psalm 66:17-18

Then Philip opened his mouth and, beginning with this scripture passage, he proclaimed Jesus to him. Acts 8:35

John 12:1-3, Psalm 66 & Acts 8:35

There comes a time in everybody’s life that we must face the demons that seem to pound against our chest or cause us to fall over and over and over again because we never faced them or sat in one place and allowed somebody to anoint us in the Name of Jesus. I begin a new period of my life where my focus will become to rid a shame many across the world feel is unnecessary because to surrender your life to Christ means this embarrassment should forever be covered. To be human is to err as Divine is to perfection. Once we work out the two, we realize God is still there no matter the pain.

Like Mary we too want to do something for our Love of God yet we find it difficult to cover ourselves completely with the fragrance of his oil that completes every aspect of covering the sins of the world. This withdrawal from society will take several months to complete. My Universal Utterings may come daily without written discernment but will always focus at least on the poem I create to translate each area of Scripture into poetry as I begin writing the details of trauma in the first degree. Know, prayers are needed. Divine Will be done. No recordings as I shift to writing what brought me to be Spirit led God inspired Christ fed. Amen.

Themselves purified hangover

Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went up from the country to Jerusalem before Passover to purify themselves. They looked for Jesus and said to one another as they were in the temple area, “What do you think? That he will not come to the feast?” For the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, he should inform them, so that they might arrest him. John 11:55-57
